The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 843 This is just the beginning (17)
"It's okay not to mention the past." Yun Lan was about to step back when Jin Xin opened the curtain and leaned in and asked softly, "Is your mother asleep?"

Yun Lan asked: "Not yet, what's the matter?"

Jin Xin came in with a red silk handkerchief, which seemed to be wrapped with something. Seeing that Qingchen was still awake, she said, "Princess Mianyue came to ask for an interview just now, and she said she was going back tomorrow. Thank you for your kindness. She will try to persuade Da Xia to live in harmony with Da Zhou, and ask the empress to rest assured. The servant girl told her that the empress is resting, and she couldn't wait, so she left something for the empress and went back."

Jin Xin opened the silk handkerchief, and saw that inside was a very delicate gold bracelet, the workmanship was extremely delicate, and there was a ruby ​​inlaid on it.

"Your Majesty, look, Princess Mianyue said, this bracelet usually looks like nothing special, but it can save lives at critical times. As long as your Majesty is in danger, press this ruby, and in the phoenix mouth on the bracelet, Then there will be poisonous needles flying out, what I mean by this servant is, if you don’t want to wear it, it’s a piece of jewelry anyway, and it’s not bad to wear it for self-defense.”

Qingchen closed her eyes and said vaguely: "She has a heart, so let's put it away first, you won't let me sleep in your own palace and bring a hidden weapon."

Seeing that she was tired, Jin Xin carefully put the bracelet into a jewelry box, and walked out lightly.

As she expected, the emperor was worried about Qi'er, so he went to visit Xiao Jieyu at night. Qi'er was sick, and Xiao Jieyu didn't want to go to bed, so the emperor went back to Jiuhua Palace to rest, and ordered the eunuch on duty at night, If someone from Xiao Jieyu's side comes over, wake him up immediately.

After dawn, the emperor went to the morning court, and the eunuch Fuquan sent to greet Xiao Jieyu had already returned. Xiao Jun heard that Qi'er's condition did not recur, so she went to the morning court with peace of mind.

The weather was fine in the afternoon, Qingchen asked Yunlan: "How is Qin Wanrong doing in the cold palace?"

Yun Lan sneered and said: "I heard that they are still crying. This person's temperament is really different from person to person. He has also been wronged. Lin Guiyi made that choice at the beginning, but Qin Wanrong turned upside down in the cold palace. She probably still counted on The Queen Mother can rescue her out."

Qingchen thought for a while and said: "Get ready, let's go and see her. She is always making such a fuss, and if the emperor hears it, it will inevitably make her feel idle again. It's time for her to see the reality clearly."

Yun Lan hurriedly took the cloak and put it on for her, after thinking about it, she said, "Your Majesty, why don't you let Jinxiu follow?"

"Alright." Qingchen responded lightly, knowing what Yun Lan was worried about, she was afraid that Qin Wanrong's temper would jump over the wall recklessly and hurt her.

This is the second time for Qingchen to go to Lenggong. The first time was because she went to visit Xin Chongrong. She wanted to save others. Those who entered there were always desperate and unwilling, especially those with a backer like Qin Wanrong.

No matter how good the sun is, it will be late autumn after all. After the rain, the wind is filled with damp water vapor, making people feel even colder, but no matter how cold it is outside, it is still not as cold as Leng Gong.

Qingchen actually doesn't like this kind of feeling very much. If possible, she would rather never set foot in this place, but there is no way, if some things don't come, she will never know the truth.

The old door panel creaked, and the door panel seemed to be about to fall when it was pushed open.This place is different from the Leng Palace of the Imperial Palace. The Leng Palace of the Imperial Palace and the House of Internal Affairs will at least repair the houses there, even if it is just to maintain the majesty of the royal family.But the emperor only came to live here for a few months every year, and the mothers in the cold palace only wanted to survive starvation, and no one cared about them at ordinary times, so the dilapidated house was a bit out of shape.

The palace has beautiful mountains and rivers, pavilions, towers, pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings. The places that can be seen are indescribably luxurious and rich, but in the places that cannot be seen, they are indescribably dilapidated and desolate.

As soon as the door was pushed open, a cloud of dust fell from it and landed on Qingchen's shoulders, causing her to cough. Yun Lan hurriedly took a handkerchief to help her wipe it clean and said, "This place is rarely visited by people, and there is dust everywhere. , Your Majesty, please be patient."

"It's okay." Qingchen told Jinxiu, "Call out the nanny who is in charge here, and ask her which room Qin Wanrong lives in?"

Jinxiu took a few steps forward, and seeing that the door of one of the rooms was still clean, she raised her hand and knocked on the door and asked, "Is anyone there? Is anyone there?"

The door of the room was opened with a loud sound, and a tall and thin woman with a greasy face leaned out half of her body, looked at Jinxiu and asked angrily, "Who are you, am I not human? These two days have been really lively, Why are you new here too?"

"Bah, bah, what nonsense are you talking about? Concubine Chen wants to come and see Qin Wanrong. Tell me where she lives." Jinxiu was obviously very dissatisfied with this woman's attitude. In a place like Japan, the personality and disposition are all distorted, even the expressions on people's faces are distorted.

Hearing that Concubine Chen was coming, the nun obviously didn't know who the concubine Chen was talking about, but she came out in a hurry, stroking her hair on her temples and ran over to greet her, "Young maidservant, Qinggu, see Concubine Chen, your lady is auspicious. "

It seemed to be a very respectful movement, but there was a coldness in the voice.

Qingchen didn't care, and just ordered lightly: "Get up, I just came to visit Qin Wanrong, but why didn't I see her?" Didn't it mean that Qin Wanrong didn't stop, but the courtyard was very quiet, a little There was no movement, could it be that she was tired?
Sister Qing sneered and said: "Well, she is so good at making troubles that we have a headache, so the servant sent her to live in the backyard. There is no one there, she can make as much trouble as she likes, anyway, the servant can't hear her." It will be clean."

Yun Lan saw that she was extremely disrespectful in her speech and didn't know how to be polite, maybe she felt that it couldn't be worse to be in this place, so she wasn't afraid of offending noble people.

Reaching out and handing her a piece of silver, Yun Lan ordered: "You lead the way, the empress wants to see her."

Sister Qing unceremoniously took it and tucked it into her sleeves, taking the benefits of others as if it was a matter of course, she still had no smile on her face, and said coldly: "Your Majesty, please."

Qingchen followed her to the backyard. The front yard was already dilapidated and unremarkable, but the situation in the backyard was even worse. The roofs of several houses had collapsed. It was sunken, covered with broken tiles, and it was not far from collapsing.

The backyard is full of towering ancient trees. This season, the yard is full of dead branches and leaves, and the air is filled with a musty and rotten smell. Even though the leaves have fallen, there is still not much sunlight. Feeling cold and unbearable.
