Zhonggong Order GL

——After all, Sangzhi's family was originally a slave in clothes.There is only so much written in the slave book, and Sangzhi has no way of inquiring about other situations.

Now hearing what Sangu said, Sang Zhi thought, could it be the younger brother whom he has never seen before?However, Sangu just waved her hands and said repeatedly, "I don't know, I don't know."

"Male?" If it's really Sangzhi's younger brother, it's normal not to know him.

Only then did Sangu come over and whispered, "Girl, she's already dead."

Sang Zhi was taken aback, and his heart skipped a beat, "What?"

"To put it bluntly, it seems to be strangled to death." The third aunt had a look of unbearable expression, "I went to Baiyun Temple to offer incense yesterday, and I saw it when I passed by the back mountain. I don't know whose girl was killed by someone. The poisonous hand scared me. I went up to her and patted her on the face, but she didn't die. She dragged me to death, um..." He paused, didn't say that the man gave her all the bank notes, and said, "Then I tore up half of the bank note and drew some ghostly symbols." The third aunt said, "Sangzhi, do you know him? The girl may have seen the basket in my hand and knew that I was from the palace, so let me give it to you , and said nothing wrong with you."

Hearing this, Sangzhi was terrified, fearing that he would be in trouble again, and wished he could burn the bank notes in his hand immediately.But who is that person?What do the symbols on the bank note mean?Why give it to yourself?What is not responsible for yourself?Sangzhi was in a cloud of fog, and his mind was in a mess.Thinking to himself, could it be someone from Yuan Sangzhi?According to Sang Zhi's current unlucky situation, she absolutely doesn't want to make trouble out of it.But I couldn't help but think, who is that girl?If it was someone from Yuan Sangzhi, it would be inappropriate for him to burn the things in his hand so recklessly.After all, people are dead.Thinking of this, Sang Zhi sighed, and suddenly frowned, picked up the bank note and put it under his nose to smell it. There was a faint fishy smell, and Sang Zhi's eyebrows twitched, "Blood book?!"

The third aunt nodded in embarrassment, "Although the girl looks like she was strangled to death, her face and hands are covered with blood, which is really scary. I didn't dare to meddle in other people's business, and she lost her temper after she finished speaking."

"..." Sang Zhi was speechless for a long time, and was extremely shocked.Woman, tragic death, blood book, did not blame him... These keywords can be combined to make up countless injustice cases.Sangzhi's heart fluttered, and he suddenly felt that the blood book in his hand had turned into a hot potato, no, no, it should be a fixed/timed//exploded// bomb, and it exploded at some point.Must burn!Sang Zhi gritted her teeth and made up her mind, she can't take care of herself now, so how can she care about other people's affairs!So I thanked Sangu and prepared to burn the things in my hand.

However, when I really wanted to burn it, I hesitated, and I still copied the ghost drawing on the small half of the crumpled bank note. I don't know what it means, but maybe I will have a chance to find out in the future.Sangzhi prayed in a low voice, "Girl, I don't know who you are, but I'm in danger now, and I really don't dare to make more troubles. I'm sorry!" Holding the small half of the bank note, she gritted her teeth and put it on the brazier. Handed it over, "You trust me so much, you gave it to me before you died. If you have a chance to find out why, I will give you an explanation." After saying that, half of the bank note was engulfed by flames and instantly in flames.

The outer courtyard of the Compassionate Palace is too far away from the center of the harem.This is the lowest level of the entire harem, no one cares about what happened above, and it is impossible to know what happened above, at most they spread some specious gossip.Sangzhi really can't find a way out here, the only straw she can hold on to now is the person in charge of the outer court, that is, the old palace lady who was coaxed by Sangzhi. I don't know her name, so Sangzhi followed everyone and called her old elder sister.

Sangu never came to work since the second day she delivered the letter to Sangzhi.Sangzhi was a little worried, and asked casually while combing the old sister's hair at night, "It seems that I haven't seen Sangu for a few days."

The old palace maid snorted, "Third Aunt is lucky, I don't know why she suddenly became rich, and she brought the whole family back to her hometown."

"Get rich?" Sang Zhi frowned, then said again, "Sangu is really lucky."

The old maid said disdainfully, "What good luck does a dead man have, and he is not afraid of retribution."

Sang Zhi pretended to be shocked, "Dead money?"

"I heard that it was a dream that a dead person gave her a sum of money. She woke up and went to dig, and said she found it. Bah, this is not a dead person's wealth!" I'm not afraid of bad luck." But his tone was full of jealousy.

However, Sangzhi knew the twists and turns.Thinking of the bank notes that were burned, I thought, most likely it was the dead girl's money.

The old lady said again, "We don't have any couplets for Chinese New Year yet, and I don't know if the superiors will distribute them this year. I looked at Xuan. In the past, when the imperial concubine was in charge, couplets were almost all down now. Now The queen is in charge, and my son has not moved until now."

Suddenly hearing the word "Queen", Sang Zhi couldn't help shaking his hands, and his heart beat unexpectedly.She was in a daze, as if this person had never appeared in her life.Queen—what a distant word, what an unreachable person.Bitterness rose from the bottom of my heart and spread to my whole body, a wry smile flashed across my lips, Sang Zhi blinked, and said with her usual downcast expression, "If we don't post it, we'll write it ourselves."

"No one can read." After the old maid finished speaking, she suddenly looked at Sang Zhi, "Do you know how? After all, you were served by the superiors."

Sang Zhi shook his head, "Me neither."

"That's right, if you could read and write, you wouldn't end up where you are now." The old court lady chatted, "The emperor, the empress, and the empress dowager went hunting, but the empress dowager came back first. Our emperor really has nothing to say about the imperial concubine and empress. I'm just on my way back." He said again, "It's getting colder and colder. Although our place looks useless, the outer courtyard is indispensable everywhere in the palace. Especially when charcoal is sent from our place to the palaces, it is also How many people can see the people from the palace above." The charcoal was placed in the outer courtyard, and each palace sent people to collect it according to the grade and share.The old maid looked at Sang Zhi, "You've been here for a while, and your hands and feet are quite nimble. Let's go to distribute charcoal tomorrow." Distributing charcoal is relatively easy work, but the responsibility is heavier.You have to know how many essentials each palace has.But there are also quite a few palace people who are full of private pockets when they come to collect charcoal, wishing to get more for their own use, this depends on the ability of the charcoal man.You can neither offend them—after all, the outer courtyard is the lowest level where anyone can be bullied, and you can’t let things be less—those who lack charcoal will be punished.But fortunately, I don’t need to wash clothes in the cold weather, and I don’t need to carry charcoal exhaustingly and dirty every day. I just go to watch the case of getting charcoal.

"Thank you, old sister, for taking care of me." Sang Zhi said softly, "It's getting cold, old sister, take care of yourself."

The old maid smiled, "It is impossible to go out again after coming to this outer courtyard. But as long as you are loyal to me, I will not let you suffer." Then, the old palace lady gave her a sign, "If you can't read, you can remember Alright, you have to remember exactly how much charcoal each palace needs, if something goes wrong, I can't protect you either."

"I will definitely not embarrass my old sister." Sang Zhi glanced at the sign, and suddenly stopped. There was a symbol on the sign that was somewhat similar to the one she copied down.Sangzhi picked up the sign, "Old sister, what's on it?"

The old maid glanced at it, "Manchu, I don't know it. It was held by Guan Tan."

Sangzhi's heart suddenly brightened, could it be that the symbol is also in Manchu?She hesitated for a while, and chatted, "Is there anyone here who can read Manchu?"

"I don't know. But the people in the Fourteenth Yamen may know it. You can learn from them when you manage charcoal tomorrow. The people in the Fourteenth Yamen will come to check the amount of charcoal sooner or later. How much is brought in in the morning and how much is left in the evening? They have to write down how much each palace takes away. It’s better to be able to read and memorize things than to rely entirely on the brain.”

Sure enough, early the next morning, the Fourteenth Yamen sent people to count the amount of charcoal.They often deal with people from the outer court, so although their attitude can't be said to be very good, it's not bad.Sangzhi personally brought hot water to people, and asked them how they were, making them feel very comfortable.Sang Zhi saw that the person who came to memorize things was using a mixture of Manchu and Chinese characters, so he felt relieved, took out a piece of paper, and pretended to copy the words written by others, "Old sister asked the servant to learn a few words from you. I can’t write well.”

It provoked people to look at it, and laughed, "What are you copying, where did I write the word 'green', and 'charcoal' is not written in this way."

"Qing?" Sang Zhi paused, "I wrote 'Qing' not 'Charcoal'? Which Qing?"

"Of course not!" The visitor said proudly, "You are cyan, which is far from charcoal. I think you should stop imitating it, and you have all gone to your hometown."

Sang Zhi accepted it shyly, "That's right, it's no wonder. You're busy, you're busy!" She hurriedly backed away, but her doubts became even more serious.It turned out that it was the word "green"!However, what does the word "green" represent?

☆, 003

From all the palaces to the outer courtyard, the charcoal servants are the rough envoys, but there are exceptions, such as the Yongshou Palace.Yongshou Palace is an existence with an embarrassing status. After abolishing the queen as a concubine, she enjoys the treatment of a concubine on the surface, but in fact it is only slightly better than the Lenggong.More importantly, Concubine Jing was deeply disliked by the emperor, and she would never have a chance to stand up. Everyone in the palace knew everyone, so it was hard for the palace people to have a good look at Yongshou Palace.They didn't dare to show concubine Jing's face, but which of the maids in Yongshou Palace didn't get bullied?Even when receiving charcoal, it is inevitable to be run on by people from other palaces, and even the charcoal cases that are received will be snatched away.Therefore, things in Yongshou Palace are often short.Concubine Jing has a high temper, Jinxiu dared not let her know about these humiliations, and never told Concubine Jing how much she had been wronged in secret, but Concubine Jing was not ignorant of everything, and later she simply refused to let others take it.Fortunately, Concubine Dong E was considerate in dealing with the world. When Chengqian Palace was in charge of the harem, she took the share of Yongshou Palace and sent someone to deliver it in person, which made the life of Yongshou Palace easier.For these favors from Concubine Dong E, Jinxiu is grateful.But Meng Guqing didn't, the favor of Concubine Dong E was even more humiliating to Meng Guqing, she was someone who would rather die than bow down.

Now that the power has returned to the empress, the Chengqian Palace no longer holds it on her behalf.The empress has just taken over, and everything in the harem is complicated, not to mention, the empress herself still has a lot of things on her mind, so how could she care about these small details!Sangzhi watched the charcoal all morning, and the palaces came to register for the charcoal collection in an orderly manner, but there were indeed many cases where they were not reported.Sang Zhi had a good voice with a smile on his face, his mouth was dry after talking all morning, and when it was over, his whole body was tired as if he had finished a battle.But when it was finally sorted out, there were still a lot of things that I took but didn't put back.Sangzhi sighed, helpless.After reconciling the amount, it was discovered that the Yongshou Palace's share was not claimed, and it was the Yongshou Palace's share that was taken away. Now there is only a small half of the Yongshou Palace's charcoal bill left.Sang Zhi was in a complicated mood, worried about how to explain to the people from Yongshou Palace.But she waited until the sun was about to set, but she didn't see anyone from Yongshou Palace.Sang Zhi felt very strange, didn't the people from Yongshou Palace not come?She specifically asked the person who was looking at the charcoal together, only to find out that the share of Yongshou Palace was received on behalf of her.So he figured out the joints in an instant, and couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart, the world is hot and cold, and the warmth and warmth of people are really nowhere more distinct than in the palace.

Now it is mid-winter in December, and the New Year is coming soon in the palace, needless to say it is freezing cold.The Yongshou Palace is also empty and cold, if there is no charcoal to keep warm, I am afraid that this winter will be difficult.After thinking about it, Sang Zhi decided to send it there in person, hoping to atone for his crime.Otherwise, she will be punished if the share of the charcoal regulation is not matched.

The outer courtyard is on the westernmost side of the city wall. If you walk north along the Shoukang Palace on the west side of the Compassionate Palace, you will soon reach the Shouan Gate.Shou'an Gate and Yongshou Gate are on the same line, far is not too far, and close is not close, but it is still many times closer than going around from Chengqian Palace to Yongshou Palace.Sang Zhi sighed again while carrying the charcoal basket.I didn't expect to go around and go around, and in the end I was still a charcoal giver.She lowered her eyes and smiled wryly, carrying the charcoal basket to Yongshou Palace step by step.

In the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Aunt Su Ma received a letter and burned it after scanning it.She walked up to the Empress Dowager, fiddled with the charcoal stove to warm the Empress Dowager, and said softly, "The matter is settled."

The Empress Dowager lowered her eyebrows and only asked, "Where is the Empress?"

"It's time for the queen to find out." Aunt Su Mala said, "Thanks to the wise queen mother, she sent someone to deal with it immediately after receiving the letter in the palace. Otherwise, if she really waited until she returned to the palace to investigate, these ten days or so would be enough for the servant to escape incognito. "

The Empress Dowager sighed, "It's just Concubine Jing's tricks." She was a little bit disdainful of hating iron for being weak.

"Concubine Jing's reaction is fast enough. If you hadn't let the Queen Mother know about this incident by chance, I'm afraid it would have been passed by if you put it in the Queen's hands." Aunt Su Ma said, "The empress is benevolent and righteous."

"The benevolence of a lady." The queen mother shook her head, "Is there anyone in this palace with really clean hands? She is the queen, and she can't be cruel, let alone Chengqian Palace, and someone with a means will come here later. , can put her to death. The mother of a country is so easy to do!"

Aunt Su Ma laughed, "Didn't the Empress Dowager just value the benevolence and righteousness of the Empress Dowager?"

"The Ai family is alive, and her benevolence and righteousness are left to her. If the Ai family leaves—" the queen mother paused, "This harem of the Qing Dynasty cannot fall into the hands of others. My Horqin family has shed blood for the glory of the Qing Dynasty. Half of it should belong to Horqin."

Aunt Su Ma hurriedly said, "Bah, bah, bah, you are blessed, Queen Mother, why are you talking about frustration?"

"Alas!" The queen mother sighed, "Concubine Jing is a one-sided person. Originally, she should be the best candidate for the middle palace. Tell me about her," the queen mother said angrily, "this kind of ignorance is already chilling, how dare you put that Let the servants out! If you live to open your mouth, if Jinxiu lives to speak out, what will be the face of my Qing Dynasty?! How does the emperor behave? Wouldn't he become the laughing stock of the world? If you really let the emperor know, don't say she is quiet Concubine, I am afraid that the whole of Horqin will be implicated. When the emperor asks questions, the Ai family will have no face to fight. It will be too late for regret."

Aunt Su Ma comforted, "Don't worry about the Queen Mother, Jinxiu won't speak again."

The queen mother was silent for a while, "She was a good girl, but she did such a disgraceful thing in the hands of Concubine Jing, and now she has a well-deserved death. Su Ma, please go on, these two days you will accompany Ai's family to eat fast and chant Buddha. , and leave other matters to the queen.”

"Yes." Aunt Su Mala said, "Come to report below. The queen has found out that Jinxiu was killed by bandits, and the bandits can't find her. Jinxiu went out of the palace without permission, which is a serious crime. Now it's about It's about time, I'm afraid Concubine Jing will cause trouble."

The Queen Mother frowned, and pondered for a while, "The Ai family wants to see how the Queen handles this matter."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Su Ma understood immediately, and kept silent.

In Kunning Palace, the Empress did find out the whereabouts of Jinxiu, but it was a pity that she found a corpse.

In the extremely cold weather, Jinxiu's body was not decomposed, but his face was black and blue, his body was dirty, and his death was miserable.The queen only took one look, but couldn't take it any longer.

The person in charge said that it had been verified that a gang of bandits on the run did the work.

The queen said with a cold face, "at the feet of the emperor, why are there bandits!"

"Yes...it's Baiyun Temple," the servant reported, "Baiyun Temple has a wide range of visitors, everyone. There was a case of the murder of the Taoist priest of Baiyun Temple earlier. I don't know if it is the same group of people this time... ..." He said boldly again, "The case of the bandits can only be handed over to the Fourteenth Yamen..."

The queen's eyes were deep, and she let out a long breath and said, "Bury him well."

"Empress..." Cai Wanyun carefully handed the empress a cup of hot tea, "If Empress Jing knows about this—"

The queen paused, rubbed the hand holding the teacup, pursed her lips for a while and said, "Concubine Jing must not know."

Cai Wanyun showed surprise on her face, but she heard the queen say, "Concubine Jing must not let Jingxiu know about Jinxiu. Otherwise, I'm afraid things will get worse and get out of hand."

"But—" Cai Wanyun didn't finish her sentence, but was interrupted by the queen, "There is no but. If the order continues, if there is any news about this matter, the relevant people will be severely punished."

Cai Wanyun shivered in fright, she didn't dare to say more, she hurriedly replied, "Yes, this old slave obeys." Then she said slowly, "Empress Empress, Concubine Jing is still waiting for news, if there is no news, I'm afraid I won't be able to justify it. "

The queen sighed heavily, "I will go and tell her in person."

It was nearly dusk, the Empress put on her cloak, and accompanied by Cai Wanyun to Yongshou Palace.

Concubine Jing had already waited with great anxiety. After so many days, there was no news at all, so how could she rest assured.Even if she knew that Jin Xiu had already escaped, it would be better than no news at all. Now she only wanted news of Jin Xiu.

"Eleven days, Jinxiu, eleven days is enough for you to leave the capital." Concubine Jing murmured with complicated eyes, "Did you do what I said?" for eleven days.She gave Jinxiu enough silver and left a letter for Jinxiu.Although Jinxiu didn't know many words, she still knew a little bit.She wants Jinxiu to leave, not to go back to Horqin, to the grasslands, and not to stay in the capital, she wants Jinxiu to go south, the farther the better.She ordered Jinxiu to leave the Forbidden City.Jinxiu has always been obedient to her and never dared to disobey her wishes, Concubine Jing felt that if she let Jinxiu go, Jinxiu dared not leave.As for Eleven Days, even if Jinxiu couldn't escape completely, at least Jinxiu could be out of danger.But when she thought that Jinxiu had really left, her heart was filled with pain and torment.How could she be willing to let Jinxiu go, but how could she be willing to let Jinxiu stay and die?Whether it is life or death, it is painful.But she, Meng Guqing, had no choice.Even, it's not that she never thought of dying in love with Jinxiu, but seeing Jinxiu's obedient tenderness, she was reluctant to let Jinxiu die no matter what.She couldn't do it, she couldn't do it at all.She had to make a choice, although Meng Guqing would only be left with pain no matter what choice she made, but at least if Jinxiu was alive, she would still have something in her heart.

When the queen arrived, Concubine Jing was shocked and stood up abruptly, "Any news?!"

The queen looked as usual, took off her coat and handed it to Cai Wanyun, who wisely went to guard the door.The queen then walked up to Concubine Jing, showing a slight smile, "Yeah."

Concubine Jing was overjoyed, "Really? How is she? Where is she?"

"I don't know exactly," the queen said with an impeccable expression, "I found out about the Baiyun Temple, and only said that a palace lady left after waking up. Later, it was found that she got into a carriage. Because it was dark at that time, no one paid attention to the carriage. Where did you go?"

Concubine Jing let out a long breath, "It's good to go, it's good to go." She was talking, but stared at the empty Yongshou Palace in a daze.

The queen lowered her eyes to get rid of her emotions, and then looked up, Concubine Jing's face was full of tears.The queen's heart tightened, "Auntie..."

"She actually left..." Concubine Jing's eyes were red, and she choked up, "She listened to me, it's very good. Very good..."

The queen was stunned, and suddenly felt her throat was blocked by something.

"Let's go, let's go," Concubine Jing slumped back to the chair and sat down, crying and laughing, "Let's go..."

"..." The queen opened her mouth, trying to comfort her, but couldn't say anything.Just looking at Concubine Jing with a dull expression, I felt distressed for a while, and felt very uncomfortable.Concubine Jing didn't speak anymore, but the tears kept falling, the queen couldn't bear to watch it any longer, she turned her head and looked around, and suddenly said, "Auntie, haven't you got the winter charcoal here?"

Concubine Jing doesn't care about Dong Tan!He just said, "It's good to go. If you leave, you don't have to be wronged in the palace, you don't have to be looked down upon, and you don't have to be bullied anymore. She never told me, but how can I not know. What is going on in this palace?" How could I not know the place. Jinxiu...you are so obedient, so...listen to me..." She muttered to herself with a wry smile, and after talking for a while, she got up and went back to the bed to lie down, lingering so much in love, It was as if Jinxiu was right beside her.

The queen couldn't bear to watch it any longer, turned around and left with her eyes burning.

After leaving the main hall of Yongshou Palace, a gust of cold wind blew in, which made the empress recover a little.Cai Wanyun hurriedly put the cloak on the queen, but she heard the queen ask, "Why is there no charcoal case in Yongshou Palace?"

Cai Wanyun paused, and then said, "Yongshou Palace has not sent anyone to collect the charcoal regulations for many years. In previous years, Chengqian Palace took it on its behalf. This year, without your order, this old servant dare not make a claim..."

Although Nanny Cai hesitated, the queen understood.She scolded, "Stupid! What I didn't think about, it was you who reminded me from the side. You didn't mention such things!"

Cai Wanyun was so frightened that she knelt down with a thud, "The old slave is seeing that you are tired and busy with your affairs, so I didn't dare to disturb you..."

"It's a one-sentence matter, if it were Sangzhi--" At this point, the empress's voice stopped abruptly.Sangzhi——When Sangzhi was here, although the queen hadn't fully controlled the harem, everything was in order.After all, Sangzhi is not as fearful as Cai Wanyun, and she loves the queen almost meticulously, which is naturally not comparable to Cai Wanyun.Cai Wanyun was taken aback when she heard Sang Zhi's name suddenly, feeling very uncomfortable for a moment.The queen was also stunned, and stopped talking, "I will also receive those from Yongshou Palace in the future."

Cai Wanyun hurriedly responded.

A gust of cold wind blew in, the queen tightened her collar, and suddenly said, "Is the case in the outer courtyard?"

"Return to the empress's words, yes." Cai Wanyun trembled.

After hearing this, the queen pursed her lips, her eyes flickered, but she didn't say any more, she just turned around and went back to the palace.Cai Wanyun hurriedly accompanied her and followed.

They came early, came in the evening, and saw the setting sun when they left.

Sangzhi was carrying the charcoal basket, because the clothes were too thin to keep out the cold, she felt that she was about to be turned into an iceman by the cold wind, and wished she could run.The light of the setting sun was so weak that it did not give any warmth to the body.Fortunately, the distance from the outer court to the Yongshou Palace was not too far, and soon she saw the Yongshou Gate from a distance, so she couldn't help but quicken her pace.Seeing that the distance to Yongshou Gate was getting closer and closer, suddenly there were two more people in his sight, and when he could see the figures of those two clearly, Sang Zhi froze immediately.

It was the queen and Cai Wanyun who was following her.

Long time no see.It seems that getting acquainted with Su Le is a matter of a previous life.Sangzhi's heart beat violently, making her feel like her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

I don't know if I miss you so much.

From beginning to end, she never blamed the queen.When he calmed down and rationalized, Sangzhi knew very well that the queen had done nothing wrong.It would be impossible for any concubine to forgive the things she did, let alone she herself has no way of explaining them.But who is to blame for everything I have encountered now?Sangzhi's heart was pounding, but he couldn't think about anything.All she knew was that the love went deeper and deeper without knowing where it started.Although that love is so far away and desperate, it is doomed to annihilation.

But the cold wind in midwinter is ignorant.At night, the weather was getting colder and colder, and Sang Zhi was blown back to her senses by the biting cold wind. She clenched her charcoal basket tightly and knelt down silently.According to the palace rules, when meeting someone of the master's level on the road, a slave like her should bow her head silently and kneel down to avoid them.

There are too many maids in the palace, the queen and Cai Wanyun have long been used to this.Cai Wanyun served the queen carefully, and did not even look at the maid at the side.The queen was not surprised by this, she walked unhurriedly, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the skinny and dirty court lady, but what's so strange about it?The empress did not pay attention.

Sangzhi was only a few steps away from her.However, she could only kneel on the ground, watching the queen walk past her in a dignified manner.She couldn't get up yet, and she could only get up and walk again when the queen walked a certain distance.

But when she knelt down and did not move, the cold wind seemed to wrap her in ice, which made her shiver.However, the coldness on her body couldn't resist the coldness gushing out of her heart, and she was so chilled that she went to hell.Hearing the footsteps behind him getting farther and farther away, Sang Zhi's nose was sour, and tears fell down.At this moment, she seemed to be unable to hold on any longer.

The advent of what love is.Sang Zhi kept silent, but couldn't stop crying.She was safe and sound only if she didn't see Su Le, and didn't hear about the queen.But the queen was her motivation to survive in the Qing Dynasty, her only support, and her happiness.Su Le is the softest weakness buried in the deepest part of her heart, untouchable.When touched, it seemed to be bleeding and being cut by a knife.She couldn't control the emotions related to Su Le at all.

The distance was getting farther and farther, but Sangzhi was almost frozen to death.She swallowed a choked sob to suppress her tears, struggled to get up from the ground, grabbed the charcoal basket again and got up to walk.

However, before he took two steps, a haunting voice suddenly came from behind, "Stop."

Sangzhi froze in place, forgetting to turn around.

The queen frowned, feeling a little strange.She just suddenly realized that the court lady kneeling aside was holding a charcoal basket in her hand, but Cai Wanyun clearly said that no one received the charcoal case from Yongshou Palace.So who sent this lady-in-waiting?As it was related to Yongshou Palace, she had to pay more attention.But at this moment, she was looking at that figure from afar, at the palace lady who froze and didn't even look back, her heart skipped a beat, and the queen was suddenly speechless.

Cai Wanyun didn't think so much, she couldn't help yelling loudly when she saw this, "Bold! The queen called you, why don't you come and kneel down!"

☆, 003

A hundred meters away, so close to the end of the world.To see or not to see is not Sangzhi's choice.Cai Wanyun's voice was so penetrating, fully showing the majesty of the nun in charge of Kunning Palace, that Sang Zhi couldn't help shaking.She smiled wryly, and she became a frightened bird.Life is like an ant, she already knows how humble it is to be the lowest-ranked slave in the harem.

There is no other choice.Sang Zhi lowered her head, turned around respectfully and walked in the direction of the queen.He stopped at a distance of three or five steps, and knelt down, "My servant has seen the empress."

Cai Wanyun didn't notice it at first, but when she heard the voice, she immediately became surprised, "Sang Zhi?!"

"I've seen Nanny Cai." Sang Zhi was very polite.Cai Wanyun was unhappy just now because the Queen's words revealed that she was not as good as Sang Zhi, but now seeing Sang Zhi in front of her is so humble and lowly, her heart immediately felt relieved.The dirty, smelly and emaciated person in front of him turned out to be the elegant and elegant mulberry branch!Cai Wanyun couldn't help sighing, she thought to herself that if she didn't die in the outer courtyard, she would have to shed her skin, but she didn't expect Sangzhi to become like this.She couldn't help looking at the queen, thinking, how can Sang Zhi in this appearance compare with herself?

However, the empress just stared blankly at the person kneeling on the ground, her eyes were full of shock and pity.A pair of eyes are full of incredible complex colors, but they don't say a word.

"Empress? Empress Empress?" Cai Wanyun had no choice but to remind her aloud, but the Empress still stood still and said nothing.Only his eyes were focused on Sang Zhi, but it seemed that he was looking at a stranger.

Sang Zhi, who had been kneeling with her head bowed, lost her heart completely with the Queen's silence.She couldn't help sobbing silently, did Su Le hate herself so much?

Can't wait any longer.All the fantasies and hopes I had before were completely shattered by the queen's wordless silence and scattered in the cold wind.

"The maidservant is delivering charcoal to the Yongshou Palace. It's getting late, so I don't dare to delay. I hope the empress will forgive me." She crawled up humbly, bowed her waist and backed away, never looking up.It wasn't until he backed away for a certain distance that he quickly turned around and ran towards Yongshou Palace, his steps getting faster and faster, almost staggering away.

This behavior was already out of order, after all the queen didn't speak, she dared to leave without authorization.But Cai Wanyun secretly looked at the Queen's expression, and the Queen didn't say anything, so Cai Wanyun naturally didn't dare to comment, she just watched Sang Zhi's frail back getting farther and farther away, and still couldn't help muttering, "It's still so unruly."

As soon as Cai Wanyun finished speaking, the Empress Empress next to her suddenly let out a low, muffled snort, and she seemed to be about to faint for a while, which frightened Cai Wanyun, "Empress Empress!" She quickly stretched out her hand to support her, "Empress, Empress, what's wrong with you? ? Royal doctor! Hurry—"

The queen grabbed her hand, shook her head slightly, and signaled Cai Wanyun not to speak.Cai Wanyun obviously felt that the Queen's hands were trembling, and she was anxious to persuade her, when she suddenly heard the Queen's voice, "Sang... Zhi?" The Queen's voice seemed to be squeezed out of her heart and lungs, hoarse and dry, "Then... ...is it a mulberry branch?"

Cai Wanyun's heart trembled inexplicably, she supported the queen and said, "Go back to your mother's words, yes. Just now...it was a mulberry branch." In any case, Cai Wanyun was loyal to the queen, and her love for this little queen was not a lie.

The queen choked, her eyes flickered, but mist had already appeared.Seeing Sang Zhi rushing to the gate of Yongshou Palace, the queen pushed Cai Wanyun away, and said in a very soft voice, "You go back first."

"But ma'am, you—" How can Cai Wanyun feel relieved!The empress had been working day and night during this period, and she almost fainted just now. If something really went wrong, Cai Wanyun's 1 heads would not be enough to chop off.However--

"Go back." The empress's voice was soft, but her tone was extremely firm. Cai Wanyun opened her mouth and still did not dare to refute, so she could only bow her head and respond, "I obey." She turned her head three times to the empress who was standing alone in the cold wind, sighing from the bottom of her heart Again and again.

The queen stood there for a while, seeing that Sang Zhi was stopped at the entrance of Yongshou Palace, she took a deep breath and walked towards Sang Zhi step by step.

Sangzhi never thought that he would not be able to get in.The gatekeeper of Yongshou Palace has changed, and now it is heavily guarded, with a stern and selfless look, he said coldly, "No one can enter without the Queen's order."

Queen's orders?Where can Sangzhi get the Queen's order now!Seeing that the situation was not right, she said, "I won't go in, can I trouble the two father-in-laws to inform you and ask to see Aunt Jinxiu."

The guard looked impatient, and was about to explode, but suddenly stopped his expression, and knelt down respectfully.Sang Zhi was stunned for a moment, then heard the person behind him say, "Jinxiu is not feeling well, Concubine Jing misses her hard work, and bestows on her to go back to her hometown for treatment."

That's a voice I can't forget even if I turn into ashes.Sang Zhi reacted, and immediately turned around and knelt down towards her, but was pulled by a pair of hands, and a deliberately low voice came from beside her ear, "Don't kneel." Sang Zhi froze, and heard her say again, "Look I."

Maintaining the posture of kneeling or not, listening to the queen's words, he had mixed feelings for a moment, but lowered his head and said, "I dare not."

The queen didn't speak any more, neither did Sang Zhi, they were so deadlocked.After a long time, suddenly the back of his hand was hit by the cold liquid, Sang Zhi suddenly opened his eyes wide, his heart trembled, he couldn't help but look up, and saw the empress with a complicated expression, but the tears in her eyes dripped down uncontrollably.

"..." The tears seemed to have smashed a hole in Sang Zhi's heart, and Sang Zhi felt pain in his heart, "Su... Your Majesty, you..."

It's okay not to speak, but when the queen heard her forcefully change her words, she couldn't stop crying.She seemed to use all her strength to grasp the mulberry branches. The empress had never experienced such a strong pain in her heart. She had no choice but to grasp the mulberry branches.It seems that only Sang Zhi can relieve her uncontrollable heart.

Sang Zhi looked at her stubborn appearance, and she was still a soft-hearted compromise, so she stood up with the queen's strength, but still lowered her eyes and said, "My servant thanked the queen." Le grabbed her hand a little harder, but Sangzhi didn't hurt very much, she was frozen.

The kneeling guard didn't dare to look up at all, and didn't know what happened between the empress empress and this dirty maid.

The queen tore off her cloak with one hand and wrapped it around Sang Zhi, "Come back to the palace with me." But her right hand did not let go of Sang Zhi's wrist from the beginning to the end.

☆, 001

Sang Zhi was a little confused.She didn't understand what the empress was thinking for a while, but when she thought that there were outsiders around now, she would not dare to violate the rules at all, so she declined, "The empress has broken the slave!" She struggled and tried to break away, I just didn't expect that the empress looks gentle and gentle, but her hand strength is not small, especially Sangzhi has been hungry for more than a month.
