Empress, she is rising step by step

Zhuying nodded, stepped forward and took the Bu Yao from Zhu Ci's hand, placed it on the dressing table, and picked up the peony-patterned gold comb on the side.

"Slave, please loosen your master's hair, and then massage it with orchid scented lotion, which will be the best way to soothe your hair."

Zhu Ci smiled, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Night slowly fell, and the huge palace looked like a dormant beast in the dark and silent night.

In the Chunxi Hall, Huixiang was sitting cross-legged on the ground, leaning against the hollow partition and falling asleep.

Lu Zheng did not sleep. She sat alone on the bed with bare feet, her face and lips as pale as tissue paper.

She was holding a doll in her hand with the two characters "Zhu Ci" written on it. She kept poking the doll with a silver needle while muttering to herself.

"Bitch, I'll stab you to death, I'll stab you to death..."

Huixiang, who was sleeping soundly, tilted her head and suddenly woke up with a startle. She saw that Lu Zheng was still awake, sitting by the bed like a ghost, her long hair tangled up like weeds.

She stretched out her hand to rub her eyes, yawned and stood up, and said impatiently: "Master, it's so late, why don't you go to bed? We'll talk about anything tomorrow, so you'd better rest first."

"I can not sleep."

Lu Zheng raised her head and looked at Huixiang blankly, the corners of her eyes were scarlet, and her lips were chapped and bleeding due to long-term lack of water. She twitched the corners of her lips and revealed a rather strange smile.

"You are kind-hearted and fat, and you sleep soundly. Are you like that bitch, hoping that I will die soon so that you can find another master?"

Huixiang only felt creepy. She wanted to find another master, but she never thought of asking her to die. Even though she was implicated by her, she had not benefited at all from her previous glory.

"My slave, I have never thought of it this way. You'd better go to bed early. You haven't closed your eyes for several nights. Even your body is made of iron and you can't stand it. You have to take care of yourself. Maybe the emperor will come to see you tomorrow. Na."

"Really? You said the emperor would come to see me again?" Lu Zheng laughed happily and threw the doll on the ground. She stretched out her hand to smooth her long hair.

"Yes, the emperor will definitely come to see me. The emperor said that so many people in the palace like me the most. I have to take good care of myself. Maybe the emperor will think of me one day."

Huixiang looked at Lu Zheng in shock. Could it be that Lu Zheng is crazy? !

Although Lu Yunv had been very sad since she gave birth to the child, she felt that it was Zhu Yunv who had harmed her, and that was why she ended up like this.

He became moody and often cursed, but at least his spirit was normal.

How come someone who is so good suddenly becomes crazy?

"Why are you looking at me like this? I'm not crazy, I'm very good!" Lu Zheng glared at Huixiang.

"I'm hungry. I want to eat meat. Go and get me something delicious."

He also said that he was not crazy, and he had fallen out of favor. Where could he find delicious food, not to mention it was still late at night. She looked seriously ill.

"Master, it's already midnight, and everyone in the Food Bureau has taken a break. I can't get out. How about I come up with a solution tomorrow?"

"No, I want to eat it now! Why, I can't speak well now. Why don't you try it? Yes, I have fallen out of favor now, but it doesn't mean that I will never get back in favor again in my life."

Lu Zheng slowly approached Huixiang step by step, "You can't even do this, so what's the point of raising you. Zhu Ci, it's you who hurt me, how can you still be alive and well? If it weren't for you, How could I end up like this?"

Huixiang backed away in shock, "Master, this slave is Huixiang, and this slave is not Zhu Yunv..."

Before she could finish her words, Lu Zheng suddenly stretched out his hands and grabbed her throat fiercely, applying force continuously. Huixiang's eyes widened in horror. She couldn't breathe and her face turned red. She kept pulling on Lu Zheng's arms, trying to pull her hands away.

"Master, this slave is... Hui... Xiang..."

Lu Zheng didn't seem to hear her words, he mumbled and used his hands harder and harder.

Suddenly she felt a furry thing rub against her foot, which felt soft, and then her right foot suddenly hurt.

"Ah!" Lu Zheng came back to her senses. She looked at Huixiang who almost fainted before her and suddenly retracted her hand and took a few steps back.

She was stunned for a while, and when she looked down, she realized that something had bitten off a piece of her right little toe, and blood was pouring out.

Next to her, there was a mouse nibbling on her toes!

"Ah! There are rats, there are rats!"

Huixiang gasped for air. Before she could recover from the fear of almost being strangled to death, she was shocked by the scene in front of her.

She remembered that the old man in the palace once said that rats can eat humans, so she picked up the broom next to her and swatted the rat hard. The rat squeaked and ran away in a hurry.

"Master, it's okay. I drove the mouse away." Huixiang saw that Lu Zheng's toes were still bleeding, so she had to help her sit down, find the only bottle of hemostatic medicine left and sprinkle it on her wound. and wrap it up with cloth strips.

Lu Zheng looked at the purple pinch marks on Huixiang's neck and still felt frightened when thinking of the scene just now. She almost strangled Huixiang to death just now. What happened to her?

If she strangles Huixiang to death, who will take care of her? !

"Does it still hurt? I don't know what happened just now. I didn't mean to strangle you to death. I just felt that bitch's face kept swaying in front of my eyes. I was so upset that I forgot about it. is you."

Huixiang smiled reluctantly, "I don't blame the master."

So what if she blames her, she can't do anything to her. Even if the master falls out of favor, he is still her master.

Talk about it. She also wanted to thank the mouse that appeared out of nowhere, otherwise she would have reported to the Palace of Hell by now.

But is the master really crazy or has he mistaken her for Princess Zhu?

If she is really crazy and the emperor finds out, the mistress will go into the cold palace, and then she will have the opportunity to go to other places to work as an errand, and she will not have to stay in this ghost place.

"This slave knows that the master is too sad and that's why he hallucinated."

"I hate her so much, I want to eat her flesh and drink her blood!"

Lu Zheng remembered how kind the emperor was to her when she first entered the palace and even flew a kite with her. Although she is not favored by the Sixth Palace, she is well-dressed and well-fed.

It's not like now that the food is sour, the quilt is damp, I can't even drink my favorite tea, and I'm always looked down upon and shunned by those eunuchs.

"Huixiang, fortunately you are with me. If I have a chance to go out in the future, I will definitely treat you well."

Huixiang sneered in her heart, she didn't get the glory in the past, but she will in the future? Besides, if she offended Princess Zhu, she offended the imperial concubine. It would be good if she was alive.

He was letting go of having a good life, but decided to kill Zhu Yunv. It can be harmful, just be careful, but it happened to be discovered.

"You are the master of this slave. This is what a slave should do."

After applying the medicine, Lu Zheng only felt that the pain in the wound became more severe.
