In the cold palace, the cool night breeze made the dilapidated door panels creak. In the old spider web-like gauze tent, there was a beauty lying on her side, curled up and desolate.
Concubine Shu frowned and rubbed her body, feeling increasingly cold and biting.
His proud phoenix eyes couldn't help but fall on the dirty quilt covered with lice in the corner. He felt sick in his heart and tightened his grip even more.
The dignity of being a noble girl made her unable to give up on herself. Even if she froze to death here, she must keep herself clean and not contaminated with any dirt.
"Squeak..."
The door was pushed open, and two old eunuchs walked in with an old quilt and a bowl of hot soup, smiling evilly.
"Shu Fei, you have suffered. The servants will come over to serve you."
"Don't worry, Madam. In this cold palace, as long as you coax the slaves well, nothing will be left of you."
As the older eunuch spoke, he walked toward Concubine Shu with a smile on his face, carrying hot soup. His wrinkled face opened in a scary arc, as if a hungry wild boar suddenly saw her. Food is the same.
Concubine Shu almost vomited it out. A cold feeling enveloped her instantly. Her eyes narrowed tightly and she said with authority, "Stop!"
"If you dare to take one step closer to me, I will kill you!"
"Hey, hey." The two old eunuchs looked at each other and became even more arrogant, "You have been relegated to the cold palace, why are you still showing off as a queen here?"
"That's right! I'm talking about Concubine Shu, do you know that once a woman in this palace enters the cold palace, no one can get out alive. Soon you will be stripped of your title, and your family will also be implicated. "
Concubine Shu's eyes were cold and determined, and a sense of death filled her heart. Even if she was killed by a collision, she would never let the eunuch here taint her!
But these eunuchs certainly didn't deserve to die with her, and she would make them pay a more painful price.
Concubine Shu quietly pulled out the golden hairpin and held it tightly in her hand. Her phoenix eyes were filled with coldness as she stared at the hot soup in the old eunuch's hand.
"My dear Concubine Shu, I will feed you the soup myself right now..."
The old eunuch laughed evilly, lowered his head and took a sip of soup to feed Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu's whole body trembled, and an invisible majesty and murderous intent were slowly released. Taking this opportunity, she immediately raised her hand and knocked over the soup bowl, pouring all the hot soup on the old eunuch's face.
Immediately afterwards, Concubine Shu waved the phoenix hairpin in her hand and stabbed the old eunuch in the eye without hesitation.
"Ahhhh..."
Suddenly, there was a muffled explosion, and the old eunuch covered his eyes and rolled to the ground. Blood flowed from his eyes. The panic on his face was even more terrifying than the blood.
Concubine Shu did not give up, but held the phoenix hairpin tightly with all her strength and stepped forward. Her phoenix eyes were tightened, and her delicate body was full of majesty and the stern punishment power of a goddess.
Raising her hand, Concubine Shu thrust Feng Chai into the old eunuch's throat with cold eyes.
"Uh..." The old eunuch let out an inaudible groan, tilted his head, opened his eyes and lost his breath.
The eunuchs on the side were so frightened that they fell to the ground with their legs weak, their bodies trembling, and they retreated towards the door tremblingly.
Outside the door, the little eunuchs who were waiting to watch the show were all paralyzed with fear. No one expected that this weak and noble woman would dare to be so decisive.
Concubine Shu coldly dropped the bloody phoenix hairpin in her hand, her majestic eyes scanned the crowd, her thin lips were slightly parted. At this moment, there was no joy or sadness in her eyes, and she just asked calmly: "Is there anyone else who wants to come?"
The other old eunuch was so frightened that he opened the door at this moment.
All the eunuchs were shocked on the spot. Out of instinct, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. Not to mention offending, they did not dare to say another word to Concubine Shu.
"Put it off, I'm exhausted."
Concubine Shu quietly turned around and walked back to the dilapidated bed.
No one saw that the moment she turned around, the sadness in her eyes seemed to give up the entire dirty world.
Fortunately, after this incident, no one of the eunuchs in the cold palace dared to offend her. For several days, Concubine Shu was able to live a peaceful life in the small room of the cold palace.
Although what she received every day was only sewage and rotten food, she was still alive and she no longer expected anyone to save her.
This deep palace is so lonely. There seems to be no difference whether in Shuya Palace or in this cold palace. As for the man who once made him a promise, Xiao Chen...
Concubine Shu picked up the sour soup in front of her and shook her head bitterly.
There is no true love in the palace, not to mention that he knows the secret of Xiao Chen's fake eunuch.
In Xiao Chen's opinion, it would be safer if she died. It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Xiao Chen would not come to save her, and she never expected him to.
…
Outside the palace, Xiao Chen has been busy with Concubine Shu's affairs.
After five days of busy work, all methods were exhausted, but there was no flaw on Concubine Rong's side. With no other choice, Xiao Chen could only make an appointment with Zhang Dongyang to see if he could think of a way for himself.
In the thatched cottage late at night, Zhang Dongyang warmed a glass of wine, but Xiao Chen was no longer in the mood for small talk. He knew that Zhang Dongyang was a smart man, so he didn't hide it and directly told his current situation, "All roads are blocked. This time, Concubine Rong and the Zhou family not only did a thorough job, but even I The way to seek help and reverse the case has also been blocked.”
"Until today, I didn't know how powerful Concubine Rong and the Zhou family are. Brother Dongyang, I can only ask you to help me come up with an idea now."
"I don't have much time. In two days at most, I will have to go south. If I can't rescue Concubine Shu during this period..."
Xiao Chen shook his head and said no more.
If he couldn't rescue Concubine Shu, he didn't know what choice he would make.
Zhang Dongyang couldn't help but frown, and looked at Xiao Chen inquiringly, "Master Xiao, with all due respect, this is not your usual temperament. No matter how Concubine Shu is your old master, she is first and foremost a concubine. Concubine."
"For a concubine, what you have done in the past few days, including coming to beg me, isn't it...somewhat inappropriate?"
Xiao Chen's brows were condensed, full of melancholy. He picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it down in one gulp. He smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Dongyang, just tell me, is there any way? I'm being polite."
Standing up, Xiao Chen gave a solemn salute, swallowing up all the pride he had in the past. There was only a firm request between his furrowed brows.
Zhang Dongyang looked at him solemnly, and after a long while, he sighed helplessly, "Brother Xiao, it's not that I don't want to help you, but this matter is really unsolvable."
"To tell you the truth, before you made an appointment with me, I had already thought about many possibilities on this matter, but unfortunately, there is no way to go. If you want to rescue Concubine Shu, your Majesty can only open the mouth of the golden mouth. .”
Xiao Chen's heart sank, and a look of despair flashed across his eyes. He raised his head feebly, "Brother Dongyang, you know, this is impossible."
"So," Zhang Dongyang sighed and stood up, patted his shoulder, and said bluntly, "Master Xiao, you really have to think about it. Do you really want to sacrifice the future you have worked so hard for for a concubine? ?”
"She is the emperor's woman after all. Compared with your future, which one is more important?"
