I'm a detective for Dongchang

Yuan Yanxi hugged his wife and pecked lightly on her lips: "I'm fine, I just had a dream, go to sleep."

"Could it be that you dreamed that you were a prince? You actually want to call someone else's mother concubine." Lu Xizhi was half joking.

His eyes dimmed, but he hesitated to speak...

Suddenly there was a small sound outside the door, like the weak hooting of an owl.

They have been together for so long, Lu Xizhi knew that this was an important report from his secret guard.

Sure enough, Yuan Yanxi got up, "I'll come as soon as I go, you sleep first."

Lu Xizhi nodded slightly, but touched a cold object in his hand.

She raised her head and glanced at the man who was putting on the clothes. Maybe it was the dream just now that made him somewhat disoriented, and he lost all vigilance, so he didn't even notice that something was dropped.

Lu Xizhi took advantage of the moonlight to pick up the object, it turned out to be a jade pendant.

The jade pendant is round in shape and feels warm to the touch. The whole piece of jade looks as if the whole body is soaked in water. It is moist and shiny, and the whole body is dark green.

Before she sighed that there is such a peerless jade, a rough feeling came from her fingers.

She turned the jade over and looked carefully. It turned out that there was a word engraved on the dragon head.

ink.

Lu Xizhi was stunned.

Mo, concubine mother...

The most beloved concubine De had a son named Yumo, who was the fifth in line. He was talented and intelligent, and was deeply loved by the emperor.However, because the Xiao family was implicated and the concubine Xiao Jing'an was cast into the cold palace, the status of the fifth prince Qi Yumo in the palace plummeted.Late one night, the fifth prince sneaked into the cold palace to look for his mother and concubine, but he didn't want to be burned to death in the palace with his mother that day.

Recently, it has been widely rumored that the fifth prince, Qi Yumo, did not die, but was sent out of the palace by Xiao Jing'an. The child who died that year was just a strange child who died of an illness.

is it possible?
She suddenly felt that the man who opened the door and left, her husband...

It was so strange.

Lu Xizhi put the jade pendant back to its original place, and lay down calmly. This jade pendant was his secret, even she saw it for the first time, and he would come back to look for it soon.

Jingming...

Could it be Qi Yumo?

**********
"Okay, you go to rest." Yuan Yanxi said to Donghai lightly.

"Yes." Immediately, Dong Hai left in a hurry just like when he came.

Qi Tianyin's condition was dying, and Miao Wanhuo was on his way back to the capital, because... Miao Wanen's time was running out.

For ten years, I have been dreaming the same dream.

Mother…

Mo'er will avenge you.

The mother's secret letter that came out of the cold palace back then, and the scenes he read made people especially sad tonight.

**********
Xiao Jing'an has been a golden lady since she was a child, her weak and small body can't stand the punishment, not to mention, the emperor punished her thirty times in one go, even if she didn't want her life, she would still be injured all over her back.

But her heart is as open as the sky, upright as a bright mirror, although she is a prisoner, she is more comfortable than a free person. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a piece of dark green clothes. That little person is hiding behind a big tree. She knows, Mo'er It must be scary right now.

She exhausted all her strength, squeezed out a smile, and moved in that direction, reassuring him, be good, mother will definitely wait to reunite with you.

The execution was watched by Lu Shun himself. Lu Shun was a fine human being. Given how much the emperor loves Xiao Jing'an, he was just stunned by Xiao Nansheng's betrayal. Given time, with Xiao Jing'an's beauty and wisdom, wouldn't it be nice to regain power? Difficult.

Therefore, the execution eunuch was only allowed to muddle along, and Xiao Jing'an was able to save her life and go into limbo.

Lenggong is also known as Yong'an Palace.

The door was locked with iron chains, and it was miserable. Although it didn't take up much space, it felt cold and oppressive once inside. Xiao Jing'an didn't care about the pain on her back when she faced a flying ladle. That's when she knew. Entering the cold palace and entering the cold palace are different.

The former may still be in his prime, although he has no one to take care of him, he is still the master. Although the daily food and clothing expenses are poor, they are given according to the quota, and the residence is cleaned and greeted routinely every day.But the ones who undress in the cold palace are the slaves, who have to wait for the leftovers of the abandoned concubines in the cold palace to eat. There is no change of clothes, no fixed residence, the clothes of the maidens have to be washed every day, and the tables and chairs are wiped every three days. All fall to her. With Ziling, a little girl who voluntarily accompanied her to suffer.

Ever since the first emperor, there were only abandoned concubines in Yong'an Palace, and the daily delivery of meals and expenses was done by handy eunuchs. Choose to end early.

Heh, Qi Tianyin, more and more has the ruthless and decisive character of a superior.

Right now, it means that she alone has to take over all the work, except for her, all the useless concubines inside are curious to see, and then there are overwhelming chores.I don't know who leaked the news, saying that Xiao Jing'an was a favorite concubine who was abolished. Most of the concubines in this cold palace were the former emperor's concubines. After Qi Tianyin ascended the throne, he was exiled here. Concubines, naturally they will not let go of this excellent opportunity to torture people.

Apart from washing and cleaning, she can't eat at all, and she can only drink some water at the door when the palace servants order food boxes. Occasionally, when she is resting in the woodshed, she will be called up to do things by the useless concubines who are doing nothing all day long.

But she endured it all, she didn't want to die yet, her Mo'er was still so young, she wanted to watch Bingxue's clever son grow up quickly with her own eyes.

But the worst thing that happened to Xiao Jingan was the wound from thirty lashes on her back. Due to the scorching heat and lack of rest, the wound could not heal for a long time. Once she worked, the pain was unbearable, so she voluntarily followed her in. Although the little girl Ziling wiped it with clean water every day, it could only stop the festering. After only seven days, she felt that she might not survive the day when her child grew up.

But these seven days, the women who have been in the cold palace for a long time have turned from novelty to teasing her, from teasing to bored.Because she neither resisted nor obeyed, and only cared about her work, those women's initial jealousy and resentment were even lighter. Except for a few masters who made things difficult, the rest had begun to bother to talk to her.And some abandoned concubines have already gone mad, they don't know the difference between her and other servants, every time she goes to clean, she pulls Xiao Jing'an and asks if the emperor is here?She didn't know how to answer, and every night, those miserable howls made her uneasy and unable to sleep at night.

If you can't live but can't die, Qi Tianyin's goal has really been achieved, but she doesn't want to live or die, she just wants to be calm and determined.

She often leans against the door to rest, but this day, the hot weather is unpredictable. After several days of sweltering heat, the sky finally turned gloomy, and it rained heavily after a while.

Xiao Jingan sat on the steps in the rain in a daze, the rumbling thunder made her startled, but she missed the scene of hiding from the rain after playing with her son, it was still in front of her eyes, she just stared blankly at the rain covering the sky, blurred everything.

"Empress Defei, please come in to shelter from the rain." A soft female voice sounded.

This title made her stand up in surprise, and when she turned her head, she saw a clean and fresh woman leaning against the door frame behind the steps, looking at her with sympathy, and stretching out her hand to lead her in.

She recognized her—La Noble Lady.

Relying on her outstanding demeanor, she dances all over the city. She is famous for her temperament and loves to be jealous. Unexpectedly, after being in the cold palace for a while, she lost her little daughter's expression and became... very generous.

Xiao Jing'an stood silent, guessing that this blue nobleman must have survived those desperate days when she was very likely to commit suicide, and now standing in front of her is Lan Yunshu, who has no sorrow or joy, and has washed away all the lead.

Xiao Jing'an smiled, and praised sincerely: "Mr. Lan is very polite, I am no longer a concubine, but Xiao Jing'an." After speaking, she followed her into the house.

Lan Yunshu smiled and led her to a seat: "Before I came here, I used to cry and shout like that, but after a long time, my voice became hoarse, so I stopped shouting, and I was able to fall asleep when I was shouting outside all night. .In the end, I forgot who I was and why I entered the palace."

Poured a cup of hot tea for Xiao Jing'an, her eyes drifted a little: "I have been bullied here, but I am also a fallen person in the world. In the end, everyone forgets my existence, and those who are looking forward to going out still can't get out. Those who are dying have long since lost the courage to kill themselves."

"Mr. Lan, are you still looking forward to going out?" Xiao Jingan asked following her words, took a sip of the rare warm tea, and watched the rainstorm outside the window not knowing when it would stop.

"My natal family is not rich and noble. The emperor let me into the palace because of pity for me, but I don't know how to cherish it." Lan Yunshu avoided the important ones, but Xiao Jing'an understood that the emperor gave her the position because he really liked her, but She also really likes the emperor.

"If you have the heart, you will go out one day." Xiao Jing looked at her calmly.

However, Lan Yunshu smiled and sighed: "In this cold palace, there is no hope of success when you come in, and there are lunatics everywhere here. If I accidentally become crazy, I won't want to go out."

"Huawu is red for a hundred days, you are really right." Xiao Jing'an laughed at herself, and there is nothing to be shy about speaking now, and she simply said: "Perhaps I may be the one who went crazy first, if you can go out , I must go out, I am just someone waiting to die." Looking up at her, she always felt that it was a pity for Lan Yunshu to die in the cold palace.

"Don't be so eager to be a lunatic." Lan Yunshu said surprisingly, and whispered with a gesture: "Yong'an Palace has a lot of secrets told by lunatics, such as the former queen was buried, the palace was full of people, and some were thrown away. Locked in the northwest corner of Yong'an Palace, howling and talking crazy every night, they all said that maybe someday the emperor would get angry and kill them."

Xiao Jing'an's heart sank, thinking of the fact that the former queen wanted to use her relatives to seize power, and the six relatives of the former emperor did not recognize her, which caused the blood of the queen's family to flow into rivers. It must be inconvenient for some people to kill, so the palace officials put them in the cold palace.

Lan Yunshu saw her look of loneliness and desolation, so he quietly sipped at the side without saying anything.

It was just after the heavy rain, Xiao Jing'an couldn't stay for a long time, Lan Yunshu asked her to come and sit down when she had time, the two of them talked, and the days passed faster, she nodded in agreement, then went out to clean up the dead branches and leaves, most of the day passed, After sweeping, I arrived at the northwest corner, and saw dead branches and fallen leaves all over the door, but the door was locked with a fine iron lock.

She had no intention of prying, and was just about to leave, but a sudden low shout made her shiver uncontrollably: "Who's there?!"

Shocked, Xiao Jing'an threw down her broom and ran away, but her body was already so weak that gradually her running turned into walking, and walking turned into struggling to move, and she was dizzy and out of breath after finally sitting next to the wall .

She had been panting for a long time and still felt stuffy. She raised her head instinctively, but saw a familiar figure by the corner about to shrink into the corner.

"Eunuch Bai!" She hurriedly called out.

The figure froze, then turned around, still wiping sweat.

"Mother... Mother..." Eunuch Bai looked at her nervously with a bitter face.

"There is only Su Xiao Jing'an, a sinful woman here. How can there be any empress..." She smiled wryly, unable to stand up and salute him, thinking that she is a dying person anyway, so what if she put aside some etiquette?So I just sat and gasped.

"Where is your Majesty, the old slave was going to put it down quietly, alas, look at my memory." Bai Yuan stretched out his hand to greet him, and two little eunuchs came out from the corner, one with a food box and the other with tea.

Seeing that her face was not looking well, Bai Yuan hurriedly poured a glass and handed it to her, "Your Majesty, don't want to see each other anymore, if it wasn't for your Majesty's rescue of this old slave..." He lowered his voice, his voice choked up: "I'm afraid this old slave would not be here long ago. The world is over."

Xiao Jing'an was really thirsty, she took it and drank it down, but her throat was still dry, and she said hoarsely: "Elder-in-law still remembers that there are many people here, I saved the water, take the food box away, so as not to waste people's tongue. "

"Oh, ma'am, it's not that you don't know that the emperor can't offend the majesty this time, and General Xiao hasn't returned yet. This matter only allows them to smear and spread rumors. Once the emperor gets angry, he won't come down..." Bai Yuan poured water on her, wanting Stop talking.

"So what if you step down? This is treason... The entire Xiao family is implicated, and I'm afraid it won't be calmed down." After she finished speaking, she didn't even frown. : "I'm afraid my elder brother didn't expect to be charged with this crime one day." After finishing speaking, he looked at the distant sky in a daze.

"Oh, ma'am, we can't be discouraged now, we have to wait for the general to come back, right?" Bai Yuan looked at the water marks on the ground and tried to say good things.

"Thank you, Eunuch, for your comfort. I am doomed right now, and I just hope that the emperor will let the innocent people go." She looked at the cloudy sky again, saddened, and turned to him, "Eunuch Bai, I had no choice but to kick you that day." Open, are you not hurt?"

Bai Yuan shook his head with a smile, stood hesitantly for a while, and sighed long on his shoulders: "The old slave wants Eunuch Lu to speak to the emperor to have a look, but the emperor just looks at the book, even if he is in a daze, he pretends not to hear it. ...Your Majesty, please take care, this old slave is leaving now."

"Eunuch, take care." She forced a smile with a dazed look on her face.

Bai Yuan walked a few steps, thought of something and turned back, leaned close to her, and said in a voice she could only hear: "Madam, it is the emperor's idea that the fifth prince is under the supervision of the empress for the time being."

"what?!"

No, you can't let Mo'er go to Kunning Palace.

"Eunuch Bai, Mo'er, is he alright?"

Bai Yuan sighed in embarrassment, his eyes flickered.

Xiao Jing'an is so smart, why don't you understand, Mo'er, he has suffered.

"Eunuch Bai, the criminal woman has something to ask, please help me."

Yuan Yanxi looked up at the starry sky. Since then, he and his mother had a secret letter. At a young age, he studied hard so that he could learn more words and talk to his mother.In addition to being able to understand each other's situation, they can also cheer each other up and live in this palace that eats people without spitting out their bones.

He touched his neck habitually, hoping to get the only spiritual attraction with his mother from there.

However, it is empty...

how? !
