Chapter 62: The Inner Court and the Lower Horse

Inner Court:

"Miss Qiu, the inner court has arrived."

The inner official stood to the side towards Qiu Tianzuo, Qiu Tian relied on the faint light, looked up at the word "inner court" on the door number, and then turned his head to look around the inner court, his brows furrowed.

Suddenly, the inner court, which closed the door, was opened, "Babble-"

The heavy wooden door made a strange sound, and an old woman walked out from the crack in the door with a lamp, glanced at Qiu Tian and the two servants indifferently, and asked coldly, "Is it just her?" ”

"Granny Qian, I'm tired of you taking care of Miss Qiu." The internal official didn't raise his head, and said to Granny Qian respectfully, "It's not too early, Granny Qian has handed it over to you, and our family will go back to restore our lives first!" ”

Qiu Tian relied on the small lamp in front of Granny Qian to see the shocking scar on Granny Qian's face, she couldn't help but take a step back and gasp, Granny Qian was not surprised by this, but smiled disdainfully at Qiu Tian's performance, "I was scared by the face of the old slave!" ”

"Hehe......" Granny Qian didn't answer herself regardless of Qiu Tianhui, but said to herself: "But after a long time, you will get used to it." ”

"Come on! Come with me to the inner court! Granny Qian urged Qiu Tian, who had not yet moved, Qiu Tian frowned, followed Granny Qian's line of sight and glanced at the environment of the inner court, and was mentally prepared, so she walked towards the inner court with her skirt.

"Miss! Wait for me! ”

"Miss! Wait, slave and maid, ......"

Angelica's voice sounded from far to near, Qiu Tian turned his head and saw Angelica running quickly with a lantern, "Angelica? ”

"Yes!" Angelica panted and looked at Qiu Tian, "Fortunately, I caught up." ”

"Why are you here?" Qiu Tian looked at Angelica curiously, Angelica was about to answer but didn't want Granny Qian to suddenly urge viciously, "You guys, you come in quickly?" ”

"What a murder!" Angelica glared at Granny Qian, who was constantly urging them in the courtyard of the inner court, but Qiu Tian pulled Angelica and glanced at her, "Let's go in!" ”

As soon as the two of them walked into the inner court, they found that the inner court was dim, and even the lamps in the corridor were not lit, only the two lanterns in front of a temple door not far away showed a faint light, like fireflies in the dark flickering with a slight light, which seemed to be hope in front of them, but in fact despair was imminent.

"Tomorrow, the old body will assign you miscellaneous labor." Granny Qian took the two to a room where the door was in tatters, the windows had no window paper, the tile roof was leaking, the corners of the walls were peeling, and the floor was broken and uneven, almost tripped Qiu Tian.

Angelica's eyes quickly supported Qiu Tian, who was about to fall, and Granny Qian took the lamp to her face, squinted at Qiu Tian, and smiled sadly: "You sleep here tonight!" ”

"How can people live in this environment?" Angelica glanced at the dilapidated house with great disgust, "Sleep in this house, the cold wind blows into the house, and there is no bedding, it is difficult to avoid typhoid fever, let's change it!" ”

"Change a room?!" Granny Qian sneered, "Where do you think this is?" ”

"This is the Inner Court!" Granny Qian tapped on the door dissatisfied, "This is not a good place for you to enjoy happiness, this is a bad place for sinners to stay." ”

"You can't live if you love it, if you don't live here, you can sleep outside!" Granny Qian looked at Qiu Tian's master and servant expressionlessly, and sneered, "No matter how noble your status is outside the inner court, and how strong your family background is, you must listen to the old body when you enter the inner court under the jurisdiction of the old body." ”

Granny Qian's eyes puffed out like frogs around the faint lamplight, and she said with pity: "If you two girls dare to sprinkle and fight in the inner court of the old body and disturb the order here, there are so many old bodies that there is a way to make you unable to eat and walk around!" ”

After Granny Qian shook off her face, she left the dilapidated house, leaving Qiu Tian's master and servant alone in the dilapidated house, Angelica was so angry by Granny Qian's words that she stomped her feet, "What a murder!" If you let ......"

"Angelica! Come on! Qiu Tian stopped Angelica, who was about to scold the street, and glanced outside the house, "Let's come out to report and do less of these eye-catching things." ”

As soon as the words fell, there were suddenly countless "snapping" closing sounds and "buzzing" conversations like mosquitoes in the darkness outside the house, which made Angelica frown, "Why are these people watching us like rats?" ”

"Don't you say that we fell into the rat's nest?" Qiu Tian closed the door that was about to fall and joked about Angelica. Angelica wrinkled his nose, "Miss, at this time, can you still make jokes?" Aren't you afraid of here? ”

"This is the Inner Court!" Angelica deliberately exaggerated, wanting to scare Qiu Tian, "This inner court is a place in the palace where people eat people and don't spit out bones, and it is difficult for people who enter the inner court to go out without shedding their skin." ”

"Less scare me!" Qiu Tian took the lantern in Angelica's hand, took out the candle inside and lit the oil lamp on the table, the oil lamp lit up suddenly, and the black smoke drifted away, and the pungent smell made her wrinkle her nose unnaturally.

The two of them immediately saw clearly that there was a large bunk in their room.

But why only the two of them live, I don't know why.

"Miss! Are you really not afraid? Angelica looked at Qiu Tian in disbelief, she couldn't help but suspect that Qiu Tian didn't know the horror of the inner court, "Miss, do you know that the inner court is the place where the most people die in the palace!" ”

"You girl!" Qiu Tian turned around and nodded at Angelica's head, "The place where the most people die is the guillotine, and the palace is a place of right and wrong, how can it not be dead?" ”

"Instead of being frightened, it's better to be at peace when you come!" She opened the cabinet at the end of the room, found that there were still two futons in it, and smiled happily, but as soon as she took it out, she choked on the pungent musty smell and coughed continuously.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

"Miss! You okay? Angelica hurriedly cared about Qiu Tian and took the bedding, but found that the bedding was wet and heavy, with a musty smell, and even more excessive, and the bed was not only dirty but also stained with brown blood that had dried out.

Angelica was puffed up by the quilt's angry cheeks, and angrily wanted to go to Granny Qian to talk to him, but he didn't want to be pulled by Qiu Tian, "It's not early, let's make do with it tonight and make a new bed tomorrow morning." ”

"Miss!" Angelica never thought that a golden branch like Qiu Tian could endure these harsh environments, Qiu Tian sat on the Chase bunk indifferently, patted the position next to him, and motioned for Angelica to sit next to him.

"Miss, you've suffered."

"Out of the way!" She smiled, as bright and moving as the summer sun, so that Angelica wanted to protect this smile even more, "Miss, Angelica is afraid that you will suffer!" ”

"Angelica, if you come, you will be safe, not to mention ......" She suddenly leaned into Angelica's ear and said something carefully, as if giving Angelica a shot in the arm, Angelica stood up "Teng", "Miss, seriously?" We'll be out in seven days? ”

"Seriously!" She is not sure, but she can only temporarily use affirmative words to appease Angelica, who is obviously worse than herself, after all, in seven days, if she can't find out the truth, the old emperor will also release her, otherwise the Qiu family will definitely overthrow the government and the opposition at that time.

Moreover, if the old emperor lifts Concubine Zhao's ban, the queen will inevitably act again.

After all, when she got along with the queen, she found that the queen did not protect her everywhere, but guarded her everywhere, for fear that she would hurt a point.

It is this doting that will make the original owner develop a rude and willful personality and a reckless disregard. Now that she feels this love from the original owner, she will definitely live up to the queen's love.

Originally, she could use the queen and the Qiu family as bargaining chips, as a bargaining chip with the old emperor Zhou Xuan, without having to go to the inner court to be punished, she could wait for the truth in the luxury fragrance hall; But it is precisely because she has these two chips in her hands, she can't harm the queen and the Qiu family in order not to suffer from flesh and skin, so she wants to take this opportunity to prove to the emperor that even if she is loved by thousands of people, she takes the initiative to enter the inner court to wait for the truth, it is she who is not afraid of shadows, let alone slander by others.

She is no longer the queen's weakness, nor is she holding the Qiu family's development by the throat.

Following:

The sky is white with fish belly, and the inner courtyard, which has been quiet for a long time, has more "popularity".

Qiu Tian turned over and glanced at the angelica beside her and found that she was no longer comfortable, she sat up with her "buzzing" brain, her fingers gently rubbed her sore temples, and glanced at the damp bedding on her body, only the robe on Angelica's body.

She couldn't help but worry that her angelica would catch a cold and get a cold.

As soon as she got up and went to the ground, the door was kicked open, "Bang-"

She pressed her neck back in shock, and the whole person sat on the Chase bunk, and watched in the backlight as three fat people appeared at the door and entered the room in a menacing manner.

"You're the newcomer?"

Qiu Tian turned his head, neither admitting nor denying it, but looking at these bullies who were bullying the good and fearing the evil with indifference.

"Boss! She doesn't even bother with you! "The horse-faced palace maid on the right side of the fat palace maid began to perform inferior techniques to break the divisiveness.

This made her sneer and smile, and when she wanted to ask the leader if he would believe it, she saw that the fat palace maid with the head was really provoked, and her face turned red and glared at him angrily, like an angry bullfrog, with a hint of funny.

She forcibly held back the smile on the corner of her mouth, trying to maintain a calm and calm expression, while the palace maid with the monkey's sharp mouth on the left pointed at her, "Boss, she actually laughed at you!" ”

"You slut, if you don't come to greet me today, you dare to laugh at me Wang Xi!" Wang Xi rolled up his sleeves and threatened viciously: "If you come over and pinch your leg now, then I can reluctantly forgive you." ”

"Huh!" Qiu Tian couldn't help but look at Wang Xi, who threatened him and didn't forget to prepare a way back for himself, "I'm scared, but do you dare to touch me?" ”

"What do you mean?" Wang Xi frowned and asked, but Qiu Tian didn't want to explain to her at all, "It's not interesting!" ”

"Boss, she not only laughed at you, but also said you didn't deserve it!" The palace maid with a monkey's mouth and sharp cheeks acted as Wang Xi's military advisor, translating Qiu Tian's every word and every move.

"Slut, wait a minute, don't beg for mercy!"

"Never beg for mercy!"

As soon as the words fell, Qiu Tian saw that Wang Xi was annoyed and angry, and rushed towards her like a bull.

She frowned, turned to one side, avoided Wang Xi's "death hug", stumbled under her feet, and without much effort, Wang Xi fell on the Chase bunk, "Ouch-"

She even took advantage of Wang Xi's failure to get up, turned over and did Wang Xi's back, grabbed the little fingers of her hands with her backhand and broke it, "Ah-"
