Chu Xin knew that doing so would kill someone. Her mother had told her when she was still alive that if she wanted to light a charcoal fire for heating, she must leave a vent. If the vent was blocked, it would be dangerous. It's life-threatening!
So is Xie Ruling taking revenge for herself?
After this thought came to her mind, she was shocked. It was obvious that Xie Ruling had always hit or scolded her. She could not say a good word all day long. It was so cold at night that she couldn't sleep. So she came here to avenge her. !
After realizing this, I suddenly felt warm in my heart, and the injuries I got when I went to get charcoal during the day didn't seem to hurt that much anymore.
Thinking of those days when she lived in the cold palace, apart from her mother protecting her, it seemed that there was always Concubine Xie by her side.
Chu Xin clenched her fists, stopped looking at this place, turned around and ran back. After running back, she slipped onto the bed and covered her body with the quilt tightly, as if she hadn't seen the incident.
After lying on the bed, I felt that it was very cold around me. Normally, I would sleep with Xie Ruling. The two of them could absorb each other's warmth by hugging each other. Now, I really feel a little uncomfortable sleeping alone.
Thinking about the scene I just saw, I couldn't sleep. In fact, it's easy to kill people in this palace, right?
While I was thinking wildly, I felt someone lying down behind me. It was Xie Ruling.
"You haven't fallen asleep yet?"
Xie Ruling's tone was cold.
"I miss my mother, but I just can't sleep. The charcoal fire here is about to run out. How can I sleep when it's so cold?"
Chu Xin muttered aggrievedly, it would be fine if there was no charcoal fire all the time, but she had clearly felt the warmth of charcoal fire in the past few days, and now she really couldn't stand the cold anymore.
"You don't really think of yourself as a princess, do you? A real princess has endless charcoal fire, and you are not one!"
Xie Ruling laughed loudly and mockingly, but she didn't know whether the mocking was laughing at Chu Xin or herself.
Chu Xin didn't speak, and the room fell into a brief silence.
Chu Xin suddenly thought that when she went to get the charcoal fire that day, she saw the little princess sitting on the sedan chair. That was the real princess, and the real concubine.
They were sitting high on the sedan chair, and all the palace people had to kneel down when they saw them. They all had endless charcoal fires, and the skirts they wore were so exquisite and beautiful.
It's really unfair. Isn't she His Majesty's daughter? Her mother is still the Queen. Isn't the Queen older than the imperial concubine?
"Isn't my mother a queen? I am the legitimate princess. Why do I have to be in the cold palace? My mother never said anything when I asked her in the past. Do you know why?"
Chu Xin turned over and looked at Xie Ruling lying on the bed, her eyes full of aggrieved pleading.
She really wants to know her life experience, what happened in the first place, why her mother was deposed and relegated to the cold palace, and why the entire Mu clan was wiped out.
If her mother was still the queen, if the Mu clan still existed, how could she live a miserable life in the cold palace? Maybe her life would be better than that of the little princess!
The scene I saw just now is obviously not as important as the problem at the moment. The death of a person in this palace is not a big deal at all. My mother was once a queen. Doesn't it mean that she died in the cold palace?
At this moment, she really wanted to know what happened to her mother, what happened?
"What if I tell you the truth and you get mad?"
Xie Ruling thought about it carefully and suddenly burst into laughter, as if she had thought of something very funny.
"Tell me quickly," Chu Xin blinked in confusion, not knowing what she was laughing at, and stretched out her little hand to tug on Xie Ruling's sleeve and said coquettishly.
"Then you are my mother now. When I grow up, I will definitely take care of you until the end of my life!"
Chu Xin's dark eyes rolled. She knew that everyone in this cold palace wanted to survive. If they couldn't survive, they would have hanged themselves.
From the moment she can remember, Xie Ruling in her eyes has always been as warm as a ball of fire. If he wants to survive, he will definitely need her to support him when he gets old.
"You're such a sweet girl," Xie Ruling stopped laughing and pinched Chu Xin's skinny cheek, while Chu Xin took the opportunity to lie in Xie Ruling's arms.
"Your mother comes from a wealthy family. The Mu family was the largest family in the world at that time. If the glory of the past is still there, you will be a true princess. Then you can have as much charcoal as you want and wear whatever you want. You’ve got beautiful clothes!”
Listening to Xie Ruling's clear voice, Chu Xin couldn't help but yearn for her. After staying in the cold palace for so long, she also knew the rules of the palace.
Obviously the queen is the biggest master in the harem, but why doesn't the mother look like a queen at all?
Later, it was said that her mother was deposed and her entire maternal family was killed, so she and her mother were reduced to this situation. But since they were obviously from a wealthy family, why did they become so miserable in the end?
"His Majesty was able to win the throne thanks to the help of the Mu clan. But do you think His Majesty will honor the Mu clan as great heroes?"
Xie Ruling stopped and couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing mockingly.
Chu Xin, on the other hand, was a little flustered. Although she didn't quite understand what happened back then, she felt a little uneasy listening to Xie Ruling's voice.
"But who would have thought that after His Majesty's throne was secure, he would turn around and start to deal with the Mu family. The Mu family was unprepared and thought that marrying their noble daughter to His Majesty gave them a way out.
But who would have thought that no matter whether it was the Mu family or the direct daughter of the Mu family, there would be no good end for them. All the Mu family were killed. Your mother picked up one because she was pregnant with you. His life was reduced to the cold palace.
To say that he was thrown into the cold palace is just a nice excuse for the world. How can a weak pregnant woman survive in the cold palace? He wants your mother to die in the cold palace, killing two people! "
Xie Ruling's voice was clear and cold, which was extremely heavy in Chu Xin's heart. She bit her lip hard, very hard.
It turns out that the truth is indeed like this. In fact, I just vaguely guessed that since my mother has a noble status, how could she fall into this situation so easily? This must be His Majesty's intention.
Although I knew very well in my heart that His Majesty was my father, I really couldn't say the words "father" out loud.
"At that time, I also wanted to see how the once glorious queen would survive in the cold palace, but I didn't expect that you two, mother and daughter, are very tough and could barely survive."
Xie Ruling snorted very arrogantly and never mentioned the help she had given Chu Xin and her daughter.
She was once a noble concubine. She only needed to know what she had done, so she didn't need to tell her one by one!
"I know you must have helped my mother. When I was very young, I remember that you brought all the food to my mother and me."
Chu Xin reached out and hugged Xie Ruling's waist, buried her head in her chest, and spoke in a muffled tone, as if she was crying.
"What do you know, you stinky girl? When I was a royal concubine, I danced the most stunningly. I have to keep in shape when dancing. I can't eat too much. I'll give you the food I don't eat!"
Xie Ruling laughed disdainfully, then stretched out her hands to pull Chu Xin into her arms and hug her tightly. It was still a bit chilly just now, but now the two of them were able to keep each other warm by hugging each other.
"So my mother is just a stepping stone for His Majesty's career. When she is needed, she is held high. When she is not needed, she is thrown aside and left to fend for herself."
Chu Xin sniffed, obviously she couldn't help crying anymore, but she didn't want to cry at all at this moment. Anyway, her mother was gone and her grandfather's family didn't have any relatives anymore. No one would feel bad if she cried again. .
"You're quite smart. You know the point of what I'm saying. It's true. Hold it in your hands when you need it, and throw it down when you don't!"
Xie Ruling's tone became extremely cold in an instant, and there was utter hatred in her eyes. Wasn't that the same thing in that incident?
She didn't believe that His Majesty couldn't understand such a clumsy trick, but his heart was no longer with her, but with that bitch.
So no matter what happens, I always favor that bitch. If I say she is relegated to the cold palace, she is really relegated to the cold palace. How callous!
So when she saw Mu Wan, who had also been abandoned, she couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for him, as if he was much more pitiful than her.
With a big belly in the cold palace, without her help, I really don't know how to survive.
She has already reached the stage of being in the cold palace. If she keeps getting angry and grabbing food, she will really starve to death. She just looked at Mu Wan and gave her his own food because she was really pitiful.
In fact, Mu Wan should be glad that she gave birth to a daughter. If she had given birth to a son, I am afraid that the mother and son would have been silenced long ago!
"What about you? I really want to know about you."
Chu Xin quietly stretched out her hand to wipe her nose and tears, and then hugged Xie Ruling's waist. Thinking of the scene just now, she still felt a little dazed.
It seems that the woman she is holding is the best person to her besides her mother. Although she always beats and scolds her, it seems that everything she does is for her good.
"Do you know why I can survive until now in the cold palace? In addition to my desperate temper, it's also because the Queen Mother is my aunt!"
Xie Ruling wiped away her tears and rolled her eyes impatiently.
"What?"
Chu Xin raised her head in shock and looked at Xie Ruling in disbelief, "You never told me about this!"
"What's there to say? What's there to say when you've already been relegated to the cold palace!"
Xie Ruling rolled her eyes impatiently and patted Chu Xin on the head.
"It doesn't matter if she's an aunt. She also has many other nieces. Who am I? I'm just a loser who was relegated to the cold palace!
Maybe she cared about me because of her pitiful blood relationship and didn't let me die in the cold palace. Perhaps it was her last act of kindness to linger on like this! "
Xie Ruling snorted disdainfully, so what if she was in the cold palace? As long as she knew she could survive, she had nothing to fear.
No matter what you grab, as long as you fight hard to grab it, you can always grab it. Other concubines who have been relegated to the cold palace can't grab it. If they freeze to death and starve to death, don't they mean they are useless?
