() Hearing the helplessness in the eunuch's words, Jin Qing stopped asking further questions, and got into the carriage with King Xin and went straight to the palace.
The carriage walked in twists and turns in the palace for a long time before finally stopping in front of a mottled and rusty iron gate.
This is the Cold Palace, where all the concubines of previous emperors who were demoted for their mistakes lived.
The number of concubines who have been demoted has decreased a lot in the past two years. A dozen years ago, crazy concubines would often rush out and call everyone "Your Majesty."
And every midnight, women's cries would come from the cold palace.
Therefore, the concubines were very taboo about this place and did not even dare to pass by the entrance of Leng Palace when walking.
On weekdays, except for the eunuchs and palace maids who come to deliver meals, basically no one comes here.
Slowly, even the Ministry of Internal Affairs seems to have forgotten the existence of this place, allowing these courtyard walls to become increasingly dilapidated and not repaired.
Therefore, the cold palace looks more and more desolate...
Jin Qing got off the carriage and looked at the courtyard wall, which was covered with weeds and in ruins at the door: "..." This place was like two different worlds from the Imperial City Banquet Hall she had been to before.
While Jin Qing was observing the slums in the imperial city, King Xin had already opened the corner door of the cold palace and walked in.
Jin Qing blinked and walked into the cold palace: she thought there was a story in it!
Seeing King Xin and Jin Qing walking into the cold palace together, the eunuch who delivered the order hurried to the imperial study room to reply: His mission was finally completed.
The scope of the Cold Palace is very large. The palace that the Queen pointed out to An Bin is located closest to the entrance of the Cold Palace.
King Xin grew up here and was very familiar with the terrain of Leng Palace.
I saw him taking Jin Qing, stepping on the dead branches and leaves that no one had cleaned on the ground, and walked around to the entrance of An Bin's palace.
An Bin's palace door was ajar, but King Xin didn't knock on the door, but pushed it open directly and went in.
Compared with the corridor that Jin Qing just walked through, An Bin's yard is neat and clean. It can be seen that the hostess here is a diligent one.
Several rows of ropes were pulled up on the pillars in the aisle, and all kinds of dried vegetables were hung on them.
The land on both sides of the aisle has been turned into ridges, and vegetable shelves have been installed. There are still traces of melons and vines climbing on the walls.
Although it is already late autumn, the grass on the ground has been treated.
But it is not difficult to see that this yard should have been full of fruits and vegetables.
If you ignore that this is the palace's business, An Bin's yard looks like an ordinary farmyard.
At the end of the corridor, there was a stone table and two stone benches. A woman in coarse cloth was eating with her back to Jin Qing and the others.
Hearing the noise behind her, the woman turned around in confusion, and unexpectedly she happened to see Jin Qing and King Xin.
Putting down her rice bowl, the woman stood up in surprise and asked King Xin, "Jue'er, why are you here?" This woman was King Xin's mother, An Bin.
Hearing the woman's voice, King Xin grinned and called the woman affectionately, "Mom!"
Jin Qing: "e
As a senior gossip lover, Jin Qing is full of curiosity about An Bin, a legendary woman.
He even imagined countless bloody love stories for Concubine An and the Emperor in his mind.
But after meeting An Bin herself, Jin Qing finally understood why the emperor tried so hard to deny the existence of An Bin after he became immoral after drinking.
Why did the queen not only not bear any grudge against Concubine An, but also take the initiative to upgrade her status to Concubine An.
It turned out that it was because of An Bin's appearance that she was too uncompetitive.
The palace has very high requirements for the appearance of palace maids, and An Bin definitely entered the palace by meeting the qualifications.
Although she is not ugly, her appearance is so ordinary that she would be unrecognizable in a crowd.
Jin Qing turned his attention to King Xin again: I'm afraid this coward was not picked up!
Putting aside his timidity and wretchedness, King Xin's appearance should be regarded as the more outstanding one among the many princes.
In terms of looks alone, these two people really don't look like mother and son.
And... Jin Qing frowned in confusion. For some reason, this concubine An always gave her a feeling of déjà vu.
King Xin and An Bin stood aside and talked, but An Bin's eyes fell on Jin Qing from time to time, as if to confirm something.
Seeing the expectation in An Bin's eyes, King Xin reached out to pull Jin Qing: "Princess, this is my mother. Come and call me mother."
Jin Qing: "..." Have you lived enough? Find me a wife.
Who would have thought that An Bin would wave her hands nervously: "I can't do it, I can't do it..."
King Xin looked at Concubine An's loss of composure in confusion: "Mother?" Wasn't his mother looking forward to seeing him get a wife? Why didn't he want to hear her daughter-in-law call her mother now?
Jin Qing said nothing, but narrowed her eyes and looked at An Bin: she smelled gossip.
Feeling that her reaction just now was a bit excessive, An Bin cleared her throat and explained to King Xin: "Your daughter-in-law just got married and is not familiar with things in the palace. Don't frighten her and tell others about this." There’s no rush, you can take your time.”
King Xin: "..." Such a blunt explanation, he didn't believe a word of it.
Jin Qing: "..." This girl knows her, the confirmation is complete.
Seeing the suspicious looks in King Xin's and Jin Qing's eyes, An Bin turned around and wanted to leave: "You must be hungry. Mom will go get you something to eat. I still have a lot of fruits I planted this year..."
Who would have thought that after she had just taken a few steps, she was blocked by Jin Qing.
Looking at Jin Qing who suddenly appeared in front of her, An Bi was so frightened that she quickly took two steps back: "Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, why are you stopping me..."
Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, Jin Qing grabbed her neck on the spot: "Yin Lingzi, why are you here!"
King Xin, who was standing aside, was frightened by Jin Qing's sudden attack and hurried forward, trying to pull Jin Qing's hand away.
But before taking a few steps, he was trapped behind an invisible wall.
King Xin slapped the wall in front of him in astonishment, and shouted loudly to Jin Qing: "Princess, please wake up, that is my mother, you must not hurt her..."
Before King Xin could finish his words, Ji Qing had slowly turned her head towards him: "Ant." A mere cub from the Winged Clan joined her in speaking to Ji Qing.
King Xin immediately stopped what he was doing, his intuition telling him that the princess in front of him was very dangerous.
Seeing that King Xin's side was no longer noisy, Jin Qing looked back at An Bin, who was in his hand. Then countless black threads came out of Jin Qing's hands and wrapped around An Bin's body.
These black silk threads frightened Concubine An to the point where she immediately screamed: "Lord, please let me go!"
As the only woman among the ten ancient demon gods, Escape God Yin Lingzi knew very well the means of restraining love: once this black silk wrapped around her body, she would really not even have any scum left.
Hearing Yin Lingzi's begging for mercy, Ji Qing didn't say anything. He just opened his fingers and let the Yin Lingzi fall to the ground: "Say." Tell me what you know.
