My face is a little paler, which is the trace left by Pei Yuanhao last night. He had no scruples at all, but he made the whole room full of water. Although it is summer and the weather is hot, the cold palace is surrounded by water.

It is very humid, so the water stains on the ground have not dried up yet.

Shen Rou lowered her head and glanced at the water on the ground, her red lips pursed slightly, and she smiled.

Although grandma reminded her, she walked over the water without any care. Her image reflected in the water was shattered and slightly distorted, and she leaned down to look at me.

She has a beautiful face, and a very charming smile on her face, but she is still stunningly beautiful.

I seemed to be deceived by the beauty, and I didn't react for a moment. Instead, the nun behind her pointed at me and cursed: "What a bold slave, how dare you lie still when the imperial concubine is here? I see.

There is no imperial concubine in your eyes!"

"Ah? Ah!"

I suddenly woke up. During these days in the cold palace, apart from being tortured and humiliated, I almost never saw outsiders. I also lost the consciousness of interacting with others, and even forgot about etiquette and dignity. I hurriedly wanted to get up.

But after a night of fever, I had already lost all my strength. As soon as I stood up, I felt my eyes spinning, and then I fell back softly.

When Grandma Qian saw her, she didn't care much. She hurriedly came over and helped me out of bed, and knelt down in front of Shen Rou tremblingly: "Slave, please pay my respects to the noble concubine."

Shen Rou stood in front of me calmly and looked at me condescendingly.

I knelt in front of her, but my body was so weak that I felt like I was about to fall down at any time. My head was spinning. Shen Rou slowly stepped forward and stretched out her delicate jade fingers dyed with red cinnamon to hold up my chin.

, looking at me with a smile.

Her smile is really beautiful, almost as beautiful as the fairy in the painting, but maybe because she is seriously ill now, maybe because she is weak, her eyes and smile actually make me feel shuddering.

It seems, like being stared at by a snake.

After looking at me for a while, Shen Rou said slowly and leisurely: "Yue Qingying, the last time I saw you, you were the red palace maid beside the emperor. You were inseparable from him even when it was important to go south to Yangzhou. Why are you here in the cold palace now?"

"..."

I couldn't say anything, I just lowered my eyelids sadly.

Not to mention that I can’t answer this kind of question.

If you really answer, you will be dead.

The nun behind her had probably never seen a slave as bold as me. She was already in a place like the cold palace. Facing the imperial concubine, she not only did not flatter her, but instead had a look of "ignorance" on her face. She immediately became angry.

He said in a hurry: "My queen is asking you something, but you still haven't answered me!"

Shen Rou smiled and waved her hand. She immediately fell silent. Shen Rou said again: "Yesterday was the emperor's conferment hall, but the emperor was nowhere to be found the whole night. It was just like the night when the crown prince was conferred.

Same. Do you know what the emperor did last night?"

When it comes to the night when the crown princess was crowned, the wound in my heart felt more like it was being torn open with blood.

His throat was slightly choked, and then he managed to speak: "Slave, I don't know."

"Then do you know where the emperor has gone?"

"I don't know."

Shen Rou smiled and said: "I heard from the people who served in Taiji Hall that the emperor went back to Shangyang Palace last night and stayed there until after midnight. He was very drunk. Do you know what the emperor went back to Shangyang Palace for?"

/p>

Before I spoke, she smiled and said, "Don't let me hear the third sentence, 'I don't know.'"

Although she said it with a smile, these words made people feel more uneasy than any threats.

My sentence "I don't know" was stuck in my throat. After thinking for a long time, I said softly: "The emperor probably went back to see Mrs. Jin Qiao."

As soon as I finished speaking, I cursed myself for being so sick and stupid.

Pei Yuanhao has ascended the throne as emperor, and even Liu Ningyan, who was still suffering in the cold palace, can find a female attendant to do it, not to mention Yang Jinqiao, no matter how bad her background is, she will share the joys and sorrows with him.

She came here, and she had an older brother, Yang Yunhui, who fought for Pei Yuanhao through life and death in the battle for the heir apparent. She was qualified to be a concubine, so how could she still stay in Shangyang Palace?

Sure enough, after hearing what I said, Shen Rou also laughed.

However, what she said next made me stunned - "It seems that this cold palace is really a place with no information. You don't even know that Yang Jinqiao is dead."

When I heard this, I suddenly lost my voice and said: "What?!"

Yang Jinqiao is dead?!

She's dead?!

That dignified and beautiful face suddenly flashed before my eyes. She always had a tough aura, no gentle expression, and her words were never sweet, but I could feel that she had the softest heart!
p>

It was she who told me not to get stuck in Shangyang Palace! It was she who told me that I should go on my own path!

But, how could she die?

Looking at my shocked look, Shen Rou just said calmly, as if she was not talking about a person's life or death, but just the weather outside, "The night the emperor entered the palace, the imperial city was in chaos, and the rebels fled in all directions.

There was a group of people who broke into Shangyang Palace. Although Yang Jinqiao was not easy to mess with, those people's swords didn't have eyes."

It turns out that Pei Yuanhao, who forced the palace to seize the throne that night, has now become the escort king; and the royal soldiers under the prince's command have now become rebels.

This means that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

But, Yang Jinqiao, I can't believe that she was actually killed by the imperial soldiers. Could it be that those people killed Pei Yuanhao's wife to vent their anger because he forced the palace to seize the throne?

"To say that the emperor is affectionate towards her, more than half a year has passed since this incident, and the emperor still hasn't forgotten it. He hunted down the people who were originally soldiers in the imperial camp one by one. All those who were caught were either exiled or sent to the army.

Behead." Shen Rou said, and suddenly smiled again: "However, yesterday was the ceremony for the conferment of the queen, and the emperor actually thought about a woman who is not the queen. Is that woman more important to the emperor than the queen?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

My heart suddenly sank.

Yesterday was the ceremony for his enthronement. Last night, it was supposed to be a happy moment between him and the queen, but he did not go to Taiji Hall or return to Shangyang Palace, but came here.

When I think of last night, how he tightly restrained me in his arms, pressed against my hot skin, and his lustful breathing seemed to be ringing in my ears all the time, I just felt like my brain was going to explode.

Just like that, I shook my head vigorously and threw away all the unbearable memories of last night.

No, that's not the case, he is taking revenge on me.

I will never forget what he did to me on the day I left the palace.

He hates me, and I also...

I lowered my head and knelt on the ground, and said calmly: "Heaven's heart is unpredictable, and I don't know what the emperor is thinking."

Shen Rou let go of her hand, stood up slowly, looked at me, and said with a smile, "What a smart girl."

After saying that, she turned around and walked to Nanny Qian and ordered: "Take good care of Yue Qingying and let her recover as soon as possible. This girl is very valuable."

What? I was stunned after hearing this. When I raised my head, Shen Rou had already walked away with a smile.

Aunt Qian agreed and kowtowed to her. She waited until Shen Rou's back was out of sight before she came over and helped me up.

"You damn girl, how can you cause such trouble?"

She had a bad temper, and I tolerated her swearing. But after kneeling on the ground for so long, I felt like I had lost all the strength I had in my body. I leaned against the bed and was sweating. Aunt Qian took it.

A thick towel came and wiped me hard twice. Suddenly, she seemed to see something, frowned, turned around and walked out with a complicated expression.

I was a little confused. I didn't know what happened to her, so I subconsciously glanced down.

This glance immediately made my eyes turn white.

I just moved so much that I didn’t even notice that my collar had slipped open. On my exposed neck, there was a large bruise between the collarbones. Anyone could see what happened to me last night.

I hurriedly reached out and grabbed the hem of my clothes with all my strength, covering up the traces of shame.

Did Shen Rou see these - these - just now?

No, she didn't see it, she definitely didn't see it. There was no way she wouldn't ask about such marks on a palace maid from a cold palace.

But, I don’t know why she came here today and what will happen.

My weak hands grasped the hem of my clothes, my fingertips were weak, but they were trembling slightly. I looked up at this simple hut - I once thought that this would be my peaceful place, but every night, Pei Yuanhao would

Transformed into a nightmare, I can't get relief, and now, Shen Rou is here again...

What should I do?

|

As a noble concubine, Shen Rou spoke, and Grandma Qian had nothing to say. She let me rest in the room for several days before I finally regained my strength.

During this period, all my work was given to others. Although they didn't say it and I was embarrassed, I started to work as my own assistant again after my body recovered. However, I was still a little top-heavy. When I carried water into the garden to water the flowers, I couldn't stand it.

I rested several times on the way.

I was leaning against the door, panting, when I heard a loud noise outside the door.

"Let me in!"

"Your Majesty, please don't embarrass me."

"I don't want to embarrass you, I just want to go in and take a look. I want to see if Qingying is inside!"

I could hear this reckless momentum and childish voice right away. I quickly turned around and through the dense clusters of flowers and leaves in front of me, I saw a familiar and vigorous figure standing outside the gate——

It’s Pei Yuanfeng!

At this time, Aunt Qian was standing in front of him, carefully persuading him, but Pei Yuanfeng looked angry: "I don't believe it. I heard from the gatekeeper that the emperor didn't let Qingying out of the palace at all. Did he put Qingying out of the palace?"
