After speaking, Du Xiang'er wiped her sweat for Concubine Shu with a silk handkerchief, and said in a comforting voice: "Niangniang, even if you are reluctant to concubine Niangniang, you have to take care of yourself, besides, Concubine Niangniang is sacrificing for our dynasty, there can be such a virtuous woman in the harem, Niangniang should be happy for the emperor."

Du Xiang'er's words were not finished, Concubine De's face was already half dark, she stared at Concubine Shu and Du Xiang'er, a little, before taking a deep breath, the jade hand hidden in her sleeve became a fist, and said forbearantly: "This girl next to Concubine Shuniang is clever and lovely, maybe one day she can be like Qin Zhaoyi's girl and the winter moon promoted by Concubine De back then, maybe she can be promoted to a royal maid", said, Allure's delicate face smiled sarcastically, pinched the silk handkerchief to cover her lips, and pretended to be unintentionally speechless

"You" Concubine Shu was really annoyed, but before she finished speaking, she was stopped by Du Xiang'er again, and when the two sides were arguing, they heard a messy but neat footsteps in the main hall of 'Chongyang Palace', and then everyone saw about eighteen monks and nuns dressed in gray robes, each holding a basin of cold water in their hands, hurriedly stepping down the stone steps, and standing on both sides of the front of the hall in nine people

The anger in Concubine Shu's heart suddenly dissipated at this time, she glanced at the golden basin in the hands of those nuns with some trembling, couldn't help but take a step back, held Du Xiang'er's hand, and said, "Xiang'er, this, it's very cold, they"

"Niangniang, this is the rule of the harem code, and it cannot be changed" Du Xiang'er glanced coldly at the city and Xiao Min who were standing aside, as if she was a little caught in the clouds, and said with a sneer on her lips, "Wait a minute, Concubine De Niangniang will definitely know, why my family is so worried about Concubine Xian"

Allure was stunned, her beautiful eyes swept towards Du Xiang'er, her red lips pursed, she wanted to say something, but she suppressed it, she really didn't know the code of the harem of the Celestial Empire, but at this moment, she could faintly detect a trace of unusual aura, because the self-proclaimed concubine Ruyue didn't say a word at this time, and her expression was as nervous as that of the concubine. So, Allure took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at the empty hall with the others, waiting for Ouyang Hongyu to appear

In the main hall, Ouyang Hongyu was only wearing a thin plain clothes, her pale face was not powdered, and the whole person knelt in the center of the hall, and behind her, an elderly nun was combing her long hair with a comb, and there were words in her mouth, but no one could understand it.

Qinglan knelt on the side, crying so much that she had lost her strength, she looked at Ouyang Hongyu with red eyes, who was expressionless, like a dead silence, and sobbed: "Miss, why are you doing this, even if the emperor no longer cares about the love between husband and wife, you don't have to... You don't have to spoil yourself like this", what happened yesterday in the 'Heart Palace', Miss didn't mention a word, the whole person seemed to have lost his life, and this morning... but to cut his hair and become a nun

Ouyang Hongyu closed her eyes, as if she didn't want to see anything anymore, a little, she slowly opened them, looking at the haggard and sad face in the mirror because of the love word, but she chuckled, and murmured: "A little lovesickness, three thousand troubles", and then turned her head to look at Qinglan, stretched out her hand to hold her cold hand, and said slowly: "Love can't wake up... Qinglan, go out of the palace and marry a good man"

I can't wake up... In her obsession, she was able to say a word-breaking word, Qinglan's already exhausted tears fell again, she grabbed Ouyang Hongyu's hand tightly, shook her head incessantly, and cried: "Love can't wake up... But if you cut off these three thousand green silks, will the love be gone? Can you forget it after becoming a nun? Miss, don't... Don't do such stupid things, don't"

Ouyang Hongyu looked at Qinglan's tear-stained face, but closed her eyes, and then said calmly: "Master, let's start"

A pair of scissors, broken hair like silk, have landed, the gray-robed woman picked up the wisp of green silk, picked up the red thread held by the palace maid on the side and tied it, and then put it in the red cotton plate, put her hands together, and said: "A knife to break grace, get rid of the red dust, please give this thing to the emperor, the law name of the virtuous concubine is 'broken dust', when she dies in the future, she can only bury the green silk in the imperial mausoleum"

The palace maid looked at the green silk in the brocade plate, her hands couldn't help but tremble a little, but she bowed her head and said, "The slave and maid obey the order, and the slave and maid retire", as she spoke, she hurriedly walked out of the hall with this strand of red thread and green silk, stepped down the stone steps, walked in front of the concubines, and then ran in the direction of the 'Imperial Garden'

Concubine Shu opened her eyes wide, looked at the distant figure of the little palace maid, clenched her hands tightly, and muttered: "Cut it really cut", and then hurriedly turned to Du Xiang'er, and said with some reluctance: "Qingsi is broken, kindness, Xiang'er, is it at this time, even if Concubine Xian regrets it, she can't be buried in the imperial mausoleum after death?" ", really see... Ouyang Hongyu was actually serious

Du Xiang'er looked at the figure of the palace maid who disappeared in a hurry, and her heart was also stunned, and then she nodded, and said softly: "Back to Niangniang's words, according to the records in the harem code, once the harem concubine is left by the monks and nuns to 'cut off her hair', she will no longer be the emperor's person, and after the death of the immortal in the future, she can only be buried in the imperial mausoleum with 'red thread and green silk', and the virtuous concubine Niangniang... As far as the emperor is concerned, he is a stranger from now on."

As soon as these words came out, Concubine De Allure and Xiao Zhaoyi Xiao Min were both frightened, and the two looked at Concubine Shu and Du Xiang'er with wide eyes, and then, only to hear Xiao Zhaoyi Xiao Min stammered and asked: "'Broken Grace' Sister Xian Concubine wants to break off the relationship between husband and wife with the emperor?" Why... Why can't even the immortals enter the imperial tomb? The harem concubines fought all their lives, just to grab the favor in front of them, the historical fame and the place to live after death, how could the virtuous concubine be so smart, how could she cut herself off?

"This is the code of the harem, not all concubines and immortals can be buried in the imperial tomb after their death, it is nothing more than the second grade, or the concubines who are sealed after death, just like the noble person of the first emperor, although she is the emperor's biological mother, but because of her low status and can not be buried in the imperial tomb, or later when the emperor ascended the throne, she was crowned as the 'Holy Mother Mother' before moving into the imperial tomb, but it can only move into the Winter Tomb, and the first emperor buried in the Nanling Tomb is very separate" Du Xiang'er said softly, and then glanced at Xiao Min, who was full of innocence but shock, pursed her lips and said: "This is also the reason why the women of the harem have to be promoted"

It is indeed sad that she is a woman who is an emperor all her life, but after her death, she can't even touch a piece of soil in the imperial mausoleum, but there are too many women in the emperor's mausoleum, not all women are qualified to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, let alone the emperor's mausoleum, just like Taizu, after his death, he actually ordered to be buried only with Qingyi Guifei, and the other concubines were buried in the back mountain of the cold palace, and even the first queen He Qingwan could only be buried alone in another mausoleum

For a while, there was silence outside the main hall, and everyone's thoughts were difficult to argue, but the only similarity was that they had a relationship with the cruelty in the harem code, and even the arrogant Concubine De fell silent

A little, in front of the main hall, a summons sounded, and said: "The ritual of washing the dust begins"

All the concubines froze for a moment, and then they all looked up at the main hall, and Ouyang, who walked out slowly, had different complexions, as if they were staring with bated breath, and everyone's eyes were focused on Ouyang Hongyu's body, and then, I saw Ouyang Hongyu wearing thin clothes and white shoes stepping down, like an lifeless puppet, walking slowly under the leadership of the old nun

Ouyang Hongyu raised her head slightly, looking at the concubines outside the main hall, the emotion in her eyes seemed to be completely dead, she held her hands in front of her chest, the coldness in the air had frozen her lips purple, her gentle steps were not in a hurry, but she walked towards the two rows of standing nuns without flinching, and then, two basins of cold water splashed on Ouyang Hongyu's petite body

Concubine De's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but take a step back in fright, Xiao Min screamed even more, Concubine Shu and Ruyue's expressions were suddenly quite calm, but the hands holding the silk handkerchief began to tremble, just because although they had heard of this kind of ritual, they didn't expect that the real knowledge was so frightening, after all, this is the coldest part of the cold winter month

Ouyang Hongyu closed her eyes, her whole body was soaked, her long hair and clothes were attached to her body, the cold cold made her tremble, and her face was even more pale and bloodless, but she still moved, and then two basins of cold water fell like rain, and fell on Ouyang Hongyu's body with a bang, but she closed her eyes, slowly opened them, and then moved forward

The concubines standing outside the hall were so frightened that their faces were bloodless, and Xiao Zhaoyi Xiao Min barely collapsed on the ground, but fortunately, with the support of the palace maid, she did not make a fool of herself in public. Ruyue looked at Ouyang Hongyu's calm but stubborn expression, her heart was pinched, she closed her eyes and turned aside, she couldn't bear to look at it again. And Concubine Shu covered her lips, as if she was trying to restrain the urge to scream, as if she was the one who was splashed with cold water

Ouyang Hongyu's footsteps had staggered, and the cold water pierced her skin like ice, making her whole body numb with coldness, even if she looked at her thinking, she couldn't control it, and then, when the last two basins of water splashed down, she fainted to the ground, and her delicate body was like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, losing her vitality

"Ah" Concubine Shu couldn't help but cry out at the moment when Ouyang Hongyu fainted, and Concubine De staggered to hold the palace maid on the side, her eyes fixed on the white-clothed woman who fell on the cold and damp ground in front of her, and pointed at the monks and nuns who were standing there, not moving at all, trembling: "You... You still don't help the virtuous concubine up."

However, no one paid attention to them, and those people stood there like statues, not asking Ouyang Hongyu, who was already dying. After a while, I saw the old nun in front of the main hall step forward and said to everyone: "After the baptism of eighteen basins of water, the dust has been washed away with the lead, and from then on, it will be isolated from the ten zhang red dust and take refuge in my Buddha."

After the words fell, the monks and nuns helped Ouyang Hongyu who had fainted up, but at this time, Ouyang Hongyu was like a puppet with a broken thread, her hands hanging in the cold air, glowing pure but as white as death, and her eyes were closed

The matter of Concubine Xian's acceptance of eighteen basins of water baptism spread throughout the palace, and for a while, the people of the entire harem were terrified, nothing more than rumors about whether to add oil and vinegar, but in the cold winter wax moon, with eighteen basins of cold water poured down, the feeling can be imagined, not to mention that Concubine Xian is still in a coma

In the 'Kunning Palace', the Queen Mother sat on the phoenix chair, as if she had aged all the years overnight, her eyes looked ahead, and when Gonggong Han came to serve tea, she trembled and couldn't hold it steadily, and splashed the hot tea on the ground, and the jade teacup fell everywhere with a bang

"Queen Mother" Han Gonggong hurriedly rushed forward, kept wiping the water on the Queen Mother's body with his sleeves, and said in fear: "The slave should die, the slave should die"

"You really deserve to die" Suddenly, there was a scolding at the door of the main hall, and Gonggong Han's body stiffened, and then he turned his head, but he saw the emperor walking in a bright yellow dragon robe, and his face was extremely terrifying

Han Gonggong's heart trembled, he knelt on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed in horror: "The slave deserves to die, please punish the emperor... Slaves should die, slaves should die", as he spoke, Grandpa Han's whole body began to tremble

Yu Haoxuan ignored Gonggong Han who was kneeling on the ground, stepped up the stone steps, walked in front of the Queen Mother, held the Queen Mother's hand, with worry in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Queen Mother, are you okay?" ”

When the queen mother heard the emperor's voice, her eyes fluctuated slightly, and the old man moved her hand for a moment, and then held Yu Haoxuan's hand, and said with a trembling voice: "The emperor's son"

Yu Haoxuan's eyes flashed a trace of unnaturalness, and then said in a low but gentle voice: "Zichen is fine, he has woken up."

"Awake?" The tears in the Queen Mother's eyes couldn't help but flow, she held Yu Haoxuan's hand, shook her head, and said in a trance: "What if you wake up?" She is no longer a harem concubine, and she can no longer be with the mourning family... Old man, the old man wants the foundation of the Ouyang clan to be ruined in the hands of the mourning family."

"Queen Mother" Yu Haoxuan looked at the Queen Mother's slightly excited expression worriedly, wanting to comfort something, but the Queen Mother said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, the mourning family is ashamed of the ancestors of the Ouyang family, and even more ashamed of the first emperor... Shame on Emperor Taizu..."

"The queen mother, it's the son's fault" Yu Haoxuan looked at the queen mother's sad look worriedly, and couldn't stop comforting, but the queen mother was even more hurt and couldn't stop crying. After a long time under the relief of the emperor, the Queen Mother gradually calmed down her excitement, but she said as if she had told her last words: "Your Majesty, the mourning family wants to see Xue'er, the mourning family... I'm afraid I won't be able to see Xue'er give birth to a dragon heir for the emperor."

"Queen Mother" Yu Haoxuan's tone was full of guilt, but the Queen Mother waved her hand and sighed: "Your Majesty, the mourning family doesn't blame you... It's all the fault of the mourning family, the mourning family shouldn't have taught you that, let alone ... Let your heart sink deep into Xue'er, these tragedies in the harem are the mistakes of the mourning family, they are all mourning families"

Yu Haoxuan closed his eyes, held the old hand of the Queen Mother tightly with his big hand, and then suddenly knelt in front of the Queen Mother, and said in a low but hoarse voice: "The Queen Mother and the Sons are sorry for you."

In front of the 'Cold Moon Palace', the emperor's dragon chariot drove in a hurry, rushing on the way to the 'Kunning Palace'

Qingyi sat in the chariot, looking at the palace maids and eunuchs who were avoiding outside the Luo Sha tent, and couldn't help but clench the silk handkerchief in his hand. She didn't know exactly what had happened overnight, but along the way she had heard some messy discussions, even if they were just a few words, she could piece together the slightest bit of them, because the name of Concubine Xian appeared repeatedly in these discussions

Closing her eyes and thinking about yesterday's events, Qingyi's heart was so suffocated that she couldn't breathe. She took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in her heart, but the more she saw what she meant

Yi Qingyi slowly opened her eyes, her eyes showed a trace of sadness, and then the corners of her lips overflowed with a bitter smile, she never knew that she cared so much about whether Yu Haoxuan had pampered Xiao Tong, and she cared so much that she remembered at this moment, and still wanted to escape from this place with red walls. It's just that last night, I forgot this concern because of the injury on my body, but I forgot it, but I still remembered it
