Demon King and Concubine

Chapter 197
After hearing what her son said, she smiled lightly, shook her head and said, "It's an unexpected joy to be able to send that woman to the cold palace this time. The married family has been in the court for many years, and it has already been deeply rooted. It is not so difficult to uproot and completely bring it down." It's easy, your father will not allow such things that will cause turmoil in the court to happen."

"The queen mother means..."

"After this change, the family is weak, and I am grateful for the emperor's kindness. I will be loyal to the emperor, and I will be more humble and cautious. This is a good opportunity to control the income of the time. The emperor is wise, how can you do it again? To use that unnecessary murderous intent? What’s more, with today’s incident, all the evidence shows that Concubine Naide did what she did, and the right prime minister was ordered by the emperor to contemplate behind closed doors, even the door has not been opened for several days.”

In another luxurious palace, there was an old lady with a benevolent smile and a friendly smile, and said softly: "If you start a family, it will definitely affect the current balance between the various forces. Once this balance is broken, the court will be in turmoil. Unless You can have stronger and more serious evidence, otherwise you will still be married, and it may not be long before you will completely fall under the control of the emperor."

The pair of mother and son who have lived reclusively for many years are sitting together in the dim palace at this moment, someone softly asked: "Qi'er, how are you doing recently?"

"It's still the same, it's okay."

"Hey, it's all caused by my concubine, you have to endure so much torture."

"Mother and concubine don't say such things anymore. There are too many monsters in this palace. It's a blessing that the son and minister only suffer a little bit. It's better than the fourth brother who died not long after he was born."

"The jade ganoderma, is there any news?"

"No."

"Hey, I'm afraid this day will change again."

"Mother and concubine, don't worry, father and emperor will not allow it."

Vaguely, a noise could be heard from a distance, Concubine Chi frowned, the fifth prince smiled coldly, and said, "I don't know what will happen to this spoiled and domineering sixth princess."

"Isn't there still the third prince?"

"The concubine was joking."

The deeper part of the palace, which is already the most corner of the harem, is remote and dark, and inaccessible all year round.

Empress Defei is now in this quiet and deserted place.

Although this is a cold palace, it is still within the palace compound after all. It doesn't look dilapidated, but the palace gates are closed, the palace walls are high and dark, and it seems that a few ghosts can float out at any time.

A room, a bed, a cabinet, a table and two stools, there is nothing else, and these are all the things that will accompany this concubine for the rest of her life.

From then on, she will be accompanied by loneliness and emptiness, no rich clothes, no food, no slaves, no hope, no thoughts, and no future.

She stood in the center of the room, with a small bag at her feet containing a simple change of clothes, and on the table was the dinner she hadn't had time to enjoy: a bowl of porridge and a stack of side dishes.

The only candle in the room was about to be extinguished, but this one candle was a full ten days' share.

She stood there, looking at the phantom flickering in the dim candlelight, this small but still empty room made her tremble uncontrollably, and the surroundings were so dark and quiet, it seemed that there was not even a living creature.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, which made her jump up almost screaming, and suddenly turned to look in the direction of the door.

There were two lanterns hanging under the corridor, the light was cold and gloomy, and when they shone, they cast a shadow on her door, it seemed to be a person, and also like a ghost.

Of course, it is impossible for her to be the only one in this cold palace. The emperor has been on the throne for 22 years, no matter how kind he is, and he doesn't punish people easily, in the 22 years, there are still several former empresses living in this cold palace.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

The person outside the door knocked on the door again, Concubine De regained her composure. At this moment, she still couldn't forget her pride, walked to the door with her head held high and a proud expression, and opened the door.

Open the door?
Just this action made her heart tremble uncontrollably.In the past few decades, she hasn't even opened the door herself, it's all done by minions!
The door opened, and before she had time to ask "what's the matter" arrogantly, she was startled first, her eyes widened and her mouth opened suddenly, and she wanted to scream, she quickly stretched out her hand to cover herself, and it was nothing more than a sob.

There was a person standing outside the door, dressed in white, with disheveled hair, behind was a pitch-black night, and the two lanterns under the corridor shone with a cold light, shining on this person, making her look like a ghost even more.

"Hee hee hee!" The person laughed lightly, as if she had encountered something that made her very happy, but in this cold night and gloomy cold palace, this voice that should have been light and melodious also came with it. A bit ghostly.

"Who are you?"

Concubine De finally came to her senses, stretched out her hand to gently stroke her heart to suppress her frantic heartbeat, and stared at the woman who came to knock her in the middle of the night.

The woman continued to laugh, and the light laughter floated in the night sky, becoming more and more frightening.

She smiled, and then began to dance uncontrollably. Her white clothes fluttered, her long hair became more and more disheveled, and she kept chanting: "I found it! Hehe, are you coming to accompany me too?"

Seeing her like this, Concubine De was relieved, and guessed that this should be a crazy woman, and the most common in this cold palace are crazy women.

Which of these women wasn't originally a noble woman?Once she fell into this cold palace, she was lonely and empty, full of sadness and nothing to say, and drove herself crazy.

The woman danced and danced on her own for a while, seeing that Concubine De was just looking at her without any reaction, she couldn't help but stop, looked at her sideways, then suddenly moved closer, and said with a smile: "Don't you know me? ? Cheng Peilan!"

Concubine De's eyes widened sharply, looking at this crazy concubine who had said her boudoir name in one breath, she finally felt that the voice was familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.

Then she watched helplessly as the woman stretched out her hand, and slowly lifted the messy hair covering her face, revealing the alluring face in the past, she finally couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and leaned back All of a sudden fell to the ground.

"you you……"

The woman blinked at her innocently, then stepped in with a smile, and said with a smile like a child: "Cheng Peilan, you are here to accompany me too!"

Concubine De was terrified, and couldn't help but retreat as she approached, as if she was terrified of this woman.

"Cheng Peilan, do you think I'm dead?" She stretched out her finger and tapped her own cheeks, her appearance was very cute, even in her dress like a female ghost, there was a sense of cleanliness. transparent feeling.
