I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

Chapter 50: Tell Mr. Lu, I got it
In the harem, there are also people patrolling day and night.

But these people are either palace maids or eunuchs.

The only difference is that they are not just servants. They are both skilled in martial arts and have considerable strength, controlling the entire harem.

Under the leadership of the palace maid, Jian Chi avoided the patrol and came to the front of a palace.

The palace was deserted, and there were no lights in the house.

There wasn't even a maid at the door, and there were no guards patrolling the area.

"This is the cold palace. Ever since the late emperor died and the young emperor was deposed, Concubine Xiao and others have completely lost power in the harem..."

The palace maid pointed to the palace in front of her, "This is Concubine Xiao's palace..."

Hearing this, Jian Chi slowly stepped forward and knocked gently on the palace door.

The palace door was closed tightly, and no one answered inside. Jian Chi turned to look at the palace maid behind him.

The palace maid shook her head repeatedly, "I haven't been here for a long time. I don't know what happened..."

Jian Chi felt something bad. He hesitated for a moment and then knocked open the palace door.

The hall was dark and cold, and it was almost impossible to see your fingers. In the faint light coming from the window on the side, you could see some silk cloth floating on the beams in the room.

The palace maid took out the fire stick and spent a lot of effort before finding an almost burned out lampstand on the table nearby and lighting it.

The faint firelight danced and illuminated a corner of the hall.

When he saw clearly what was inside the palace, Jian stood there stupidly.

I saw a woman in a white dress hanging on the beam...

The woman's facial features are exquisite and her beautiful eyes are tightly closed.

He took out the portrait in his arms and compared it.

It was Xiao Guifei.

"The imperial concubine..."

The palace maid covered her mouth and exclaimed, startled.

Jian Chi put his fingers together, cold light flashed, and the white silk broke.

When Concubine Xiao fell, Jian Chi caught her and checked her breathing with his hand, only to find that she was silent and had been dead for several days.

"..."

Jian Chi was speechless, he was late.

It is impossible for ordinary people to stay in such a lonely and deep palace for a long time. There is no hope. It is like a cage, trapping people to death.

Concubine Xiao chose relief.

Jian Chi was silent for a moment, then made a decisive decision and carried Concubine Xiao on his back, wrapping her in white silk.

Since it was the Young Master's command, he must do it, even if it was a corpse, he would take it back.

However, he was more worried about another person.

Concubine Ji!
"Take me to Concubine Ji."

Jian Chi is very scared, even Concubine Ji is...

The palace maid came to her senses, did not dare to hesitate, and quickly led the way.

In order not to waste time and fear that he would be late again, Jian Chi stopped hiding and pulled the palace maid to gallop.

Not long after, they arrived at another palace.

This is also a cold palace.

However, Jian Chi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the lights were still on in the palace.

At this time, shouts and curses came from the palace.

"Hmph, why, you still don't like these foods?"

"You can have fun eating some, and do you still think you are the former Queen Mother?"

"Let me tell you, the little emperor is dead and you have no backing. If you dare to show off to me again, you will look good on me."

"Cough cough cough..."

"Why are you coughing so hard? If I were you, I would just die and waste food while living..."

"The medicine is gone, just bear with it."

"..."

The voice was sharp and harsh, Jian Chi's face darkened, he walked towards the palace and opened the door.

The sudden movement shocked several people in the hall and turned their heads.

When she saw that the visitor was a slovenly man wearing commoners and straw sandals, the palace maid almost subconsciously felt disgust in her eyes, and angrily shouted: "Where did he come from..."

But as soon as the words left her mouth, she realized something was wrong and quickly stopped.

This is the harem, and whoever can come here will be a simple person.

The man in front of me... said that he quickly knelt down on the ground and begged for mercy, "Senior, please spare your life. It's none of our business. We didn't see anything..."

Next to the palace maid, there was a gentle and quiet woman sitting.

The woman's face was as pale as paper, and the decoration on her head was gone. Her hair was spread out, giving her a morbid and sad look. She was wearing a simple plain skirt, showing her desolation.

She was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a simple half-bowl of rice in front of her, some food that was obviously half-eaten.

At this moment, she sat there, unmoved, her eyes fell on Jian Chi, and she said nothing.

She looked indifferent, as if nothing could arouse her emotions at all.

The Queen Mother of the Zhou Dynasty, Ji Xinyue.

Jian Chi glanced at these palace maids, and then fell on Ji Xinyue. He quickly lowered his head, cupped his hands and said, "Jian Chi, please take the Queen Mother out of the palace."

"Who sent you?"

Ji Xinyue remained unmoved and spoke calmly, her voice extremely gentle.

"Back to the Queen Mother, my lord is Lu Yuan, the magistrate of Cangyun County."

Jian Chi spoke respectfully.

As soon as these words came out, Ji Xinyue, who was originally expressionless, seemed to tremble, and the jade hands under her wide sleeves froze.

"Lu...Lu Yuan..."

Ji Xinyue whispered and repeated.

She almost forgot how long it had been since she heard this name.

That name is almost imprinted deep in my heart.

It is the regret of her life.

She knew that the past was irreversible, so she could only try her best to make up for the debt.

During this period, she seemed to have a premonition that her time was running out, and she often thought of the past unintentionally in her sleep.

"The clouds think of clothes, the flowers think of face, the spring breeze holds the sill and reveals the rich..."

She sang lowly, her voice gentle.

It seemed like he remembered his first meeting with Lu Yuan.

This poem was given to her by Lu Yuan.

At that time, she was still a girl and she was happy about this for a long time. Even her dreams were sweet...

That past in Pingyuan Town was the best memory of her life.

It's a pity that God's will plays tricks on people, and the facts often don't develop as they expected...

When we met again, she was a noble concubine.

And he, standing in the court, was disappointed.

She could even feel how helpless and painful he felt at that moment...

At that moment, she had a lot to say and explain.

However, she said nothing in the end.

The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more, which will only add to the sorrow.

On the contrary, it will lead to death for him.

It's better to make him hate himself.

This is my own fault. If I had died in that disaster, maybe...

Maybe it's the best ending for her.

She closed her eyes tightly, trying not to let tears flow out. She turned away from looking at Jian Chi, waved her hands, took a deep breath, and tried to make her voice less trembling and hoarse, "Go ahead and tell Mr. Lu , I accept your heart."

There was another sentence that she didn't say.

"In the next life, I will not let you down again..."

She no longer had the face to see him, and she didn't know what identity she should take.

She also didn't want him to see her in desolate and sick state.

Even if he dies, he will still look the most beautiful in his memory...

Although Jian Chi doesn't understand love or the past between the two, he only has orders.

Time was running out, and when Ji Xinyue refused to agree, he knelt down on one knee in a hurry and said, "Queen Mother, please come with me. Not only my lord, your daughter is also waiting for you!"

Ji Xinyue suddenly opened her eyes and her body trembled again.

"Daughter...Linglong?"

　Thank you all for your votes!
