This night is the eve of the winter solstice, extremely cold, early in the morning the palace people opened the door, only to find that the thick snow had stopped outside, he let out a breath of white air, turned around and met the big palace maid who was waiting for Concubine Xi to wash, the two exchanged glances, and then separated.

In the inner hall of Yukun Palace, incense is burned in the beast head furnace, a thick blanket is spread, and the feet are silent, and the palace maids stand in two columns with toiletries, staring with bated breath, waiting for the nobles to wake up.

A snow-white jade arm stretched out from the smoke veil, and the originally static palace people moved in an orderly manner.

Concubine Xi sat in front of the mercury mirror, and the palace people put on big makeup in turn, and a palace maid stepped forward and whispered a few times in her ear.

The palace maid stood up straight, and Concubine Xi fiddled with the hairpin ring for a moment, "Got it." ”

Since the Empress of the Wind Emperor was relegated to the cold palace more than ten years ago, the harem is the dominant concubine Xi Yan's family, and she is the same as the deputy queen.

Chaowu covered the red palace wall with a light veil, and after the palace concubines packed up, they went to Yukun Palace to ask for peace.

After saying goodbye, the palace concubines said goodbye and left, and Concubine Shu was about to get up and leave, but was stopped by Concubine Xi's henchman and palace maid, saying that the concubine invited her to the apse.

Hearing this, Concubine Shu's heart jumped, she looked at the palace maid carefully, took off the jade bracelet on her wrist, stuffed it into the palace maid's hand, and said softly: "Does the girl know why the maiden was suddenly summoned?" ”

The palace maid pushed back, but didn't dare to accept her bracelet, and said, "Niangniang, you will know when you go in." ”

Seeing that she refused to even accept the bracelet, Concubine Shu was even more worried in her heart, and followed her all the way into the apse of Yukun Palace.

"Mother is well." Concubine Shu saluted.

The hall was very silent, the needle drop could be heard, Concubine Shu stuck in the salute and didn't dare to move, Concubine Xi didn't call up, she didn't dare to move.

The sound of tea cups colliding came clearly, and Concubine Shu subconsciously clenched her handkerchief, her eyes full of unease.

Since she gave birth to the eldest prince, Concubine Xi has never humiliated her like this, why do you want to behave like this today?

Concubine Shu's mind kept recalling what had happened in the recent days, and when she thought of something, her eyelashes fluttered.

Don't......

She gritted her teeth, bent her knees, and fell to her knees, "Guifei Niangniang, the concubine went to the cold palace yesterday and found something terrible. ”

Concubine Xi's voice came, "Oh? What was found? Let's hear it. ”

Seeing that Concubine Xi didn't ask you about the purpose of her going to the cold palace, Concubine Shu kicked even more in her heart, it seems that the matter of her going to the cold palace yesterday seems to be a secret, I'm afraid Xi Yu already knew, she said in her heart: Hua Long, Hua Long, even if I don't poke this thing out, sooner or later it will be discovered, don't blame me!

She touched the ground with her head and said, "Niangniang, the concubine saw a woman in the cold palace. ”

"Woman? There are more women in the cold palace, I thought you saw something terrible, such a fuss. Concubine Xi said lightly.

But Concubine Shu said: "I don't know, this woman is upright and cardamom." ”

Concubine Xi's original casual appearance suddenly disappeared, her eyes were firmly fixed on Concubine Shu's figure, and her breathing was rapid for a moment, "What did you say?" ”

Concubine Shu clung to the carpet, "The concubine can see clearly, this woman's face is as expensive as flowers...... Hua Long's appearance is eight points similar. ”

A long silence followed, and Concubine Shu knelt motionless on the ground until Concubine Xi's voice came, "Get up." ”

Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the low stool beside her, and watched her nose and nose and heart no longer make a sound.

Her quail-like appearance fell in the eyes of Concubine Xi, she felt bored, she sneered, "I know about this matter, I called you here today, but I paid tribute to a batch of fine Changbai ginseng outside the palace, so that you can take it back to make up for Xu'er." ”

Even if she knew that what Concubine Shu said was false, Concubine Shu still had to make a grateful appearance, and saluted with sincere fear: "Thank you Niangniang for your thoughts, the concubine and Xu'er are grateful." ”

Concubine Xi waved her hand and said, "Okay, you go, I have a headache." ”

Concubine Shu's footsteps were far away, and Concubine Xi opened her eyes, her eyes full of ice cubes, "Go and check with me, what's going on with that woman!" The palace people came out in response.

Concubine Xi narrowed her eyes dangerously, she originally just wanted to knock and knock Concubine Shu, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen.

After the queen was demoted to the cold palace, more than ten years have passed, and there are only a handful of people in the palace, and in recent years, there have never been even newcomers, where did the woman of the cardamom year come from?

She remembered the strange noise she heard in Hualong's house when there was a fire in the cold palace a few days ago, it seems that what was hidden in the house at that time was not a "concubine", but this girl?!
