Zhonggong Order GL

"

Lu Ying smiled coldly in her eyes, "Of course?" She looked noncommittal.

Sang Zhi's heart was beating wildly, looking at Lu Ying's eyes, she suddenly felt that she had seen through her.In the blink of an eye, a terrible thought flashed in Sang Zhi's mind. She murmured, "The money bag...you and Sang Zhi buried the money bag here, and you took Sang Zhi to Chengqian Palace to follow you. You gave Sangzhi’s purse to Tong’er when Prince Rong’s case happened, and you—” Sangzhi opened his eyes wide and looked at Luying in disbelief, “It’s you! You want to let Sangzhi Be a scapegoat!"

Lu Ying's face turned pale, and immediately became gloomy, "So what if it's me, the Queen Mother doesn't want him to live, so I can only follow orders."

"...that's still a child..." Sang Zhi felt cold, "You..."

"Blame his own bad life." Lu Ying said coldly, "I just made him sick, and it was the imperial doctor who didn't do his best to treat the disease who wanted his life."

I see!Prince Rong is still in his infancy, it is too easy for him to get sick.Coupled with the Empress Dowager's instruction to rely on the hands of the imperial physician, is it difficult to deal with minor ailments and serious illnesses?It is said to be a cure, but in fact it is harmful.No wonder Concubine Dong E never wanted the imperial doctor to treat her since then.Sangzhi felt sad in his heart.

"You...you don't regard Sangzhi as your good sister at all. Sangzhi is pure and kind and trusts you very much, but you use her from the beginning to the end! Even...even after killing Prince Rong's life, you still Put this huge crime on her head! Lu Ying, Lu Ying, you are so vicious!"

"I will save her! Only Tong'er will die!" After Luying squeezed out the words emotionally, she gritted her teeth and said, "But who are you? Where is my sister Sangzhi?" , pinching the neck of the mulberry branch.

Sang Zhi broke free quickly, and firmly held Luying's hands, "Whether you will save her or not, you are just using her. What to say to save her, it's good if you can save her. According to the emperor's temper, can you save her? Young To be hypocritical, even without me, Sangzhi is just a pawn destined to die in your hands!"

There is no good reason, especially in this deep palace.Yuan Sangzhi is probably unique, Luying doesn't bully her like other palace maids, but treats her a little better, she wishes she could give her whole heart to Luying.

But since the day Lu Ying entered the palace, to be precise, she had been ordered by Aunt Su Ma since she was selected—she was different from those court ladies.Sang Zhi, who has devoted his heart and soul to her, is simply an excellent pawn in Prince Rong's plan.Just as Aunt Su Ma chose her because she was innocent and intelligent, and could not see the slightest relationship with the Palace of Compassion, Luying chose Sangzhi because she was innocent and easy to manipulate.It's a pity that she is too young after all. She only knows that Aunt Su Ma told her that the strategy should not be based on emotion, but she doesn't know that the most rare thing is Sang Zhi's unreserved feelings for her, the pure dependence and devotion that have nothing to do with love.She abandoned feelings, but feelings never abandoned her.Sangzhi became less and less Sangzhi, and Lu Ying was worried, not knowing what happened, thinking that Sangzhi had discovered her secret.Until one day, Aunt Su Ma asked her about Sang Zhi's original situation, and told her that there was a requiem talisman on Sang Zhi's body. suspect. The three words "requiem" are too imaginative. Luying silently pays attention to the mulberry branch, and gradually realizes that this completely unfamiliar mulberry branch is not her mulberry branch at all.She didn't know this person, and she didn't understand at all. Everything that "Sangzhi" did refreshed Green Warbler's cognition again and again.This completely unfamiliar person whose heart is only in Kunning Palace makes Lu Ying suddenly realize that she has completely lost the mulberry branch, her mulberry branch.

But there is no chance to regret it.

And she didn't even know when she lost her mulberry branch.How can she not hate it!

Sang Zhi wrestled with her, and found that the red-eyed Lu Ying really wanted to kill herself, so she broke away from Lu Ying and got up and ran.However, the green warbler chased after him.Sangzhi's life is in the hands of Luying, who has been ordered by Aunt Su Ma to keep Sangzhi if it is available, and solve the problem as soon as possible if it is not.Now that Sangzhi has moved Xin Zheku's idea, Luying has no reason to keep her!She could have had many ways to make Sang Zhi die quietly, but the hatred in her heart—remorse and resentment made her want to kill this extremely familiar yet completely strange person.

Sangzhi wanted to run to Kunning Palace, but as soon as he arrived at the gate of Jiangxuexuan, Luying rushed over, especially when Sangzhi saw the flash of the knife in Luying's hand.Sangzhi can't run forward any more, she can only go backwards, she has to go to a place with people as soon as possible, as soon as possible!Turning around and seeing Jiang Xuexuan, Sang Zhi didn't care and plunged in.

The green warbler was startled, hid the dagger in her sleeve and continued to chase.

Jiangxuexuan is next to Zhongcui Palace, which is often the place where Concubine Zhen rests alone.Lvying was afraid of getting into trouble, so she carefully restrained her expression and went in.Even if she saw Concubine Zhen, she would not be afraid, and she would just put the blame on Sang Zhi.

Sangzhi panicked and ran away in Jiangxuexuan.Although Jiangxuexuan is not as large as the palaces, there are rooms, pavilions and water after all. What's more, Sangzhi hasn't come here in the middle of the night, so I feel that Jiangxuexuan has nowhere to escape.She was in a mess, sweating profusely as she walked forward, she didn't dare to be careless if she couldn't see the figure behind her, she just walked lightly for fear of being discovered.Not knowing where she was fleeing to, she tiptoed to find a place to hide, when suddenly she heard the sound of water in front of her, Sang Zhi thought, if there is water, there must be a pavilion, it would be even better if there were people.She quickened her pace, but she still didn't dare to make a loud noise, for fear of attracting green warblers.

The sound of water approaching.It is a rockery waterfall, the water flow is not urgent, it flows slowly like a stream, and there is a small pavilion next to it.

Vaguely, Sang Zhi saw someone in the pavilion.She was overjoyed, but when she approached with light hands and feet, she froze.

The person in the pavilion...is Concubine Zhen.

It's Concubine Zhen, which should have been a good thing.After all, she and Concubine Zhen knew each other a little bit.

But the bad thing was that there was a strong smell of alcohol, obviously, Concubine Zhen was drinking.Now it is almost Haishi, and the night is heavy with dew.Concubine Zhen was alone in the solitary pavilion of Jiangxuexuan, drinking to soothe her sorrows.Wearing an outer shirt, she must have come out by herself while the palace people were asleep.

Being drunk is not a big deal, but what's worse, Sang Zhi heard her... groaning//groaning.

Concubine Zhen is on the solitary pavilion, wearing only a thin shirt with the neckline wide open.While drinking, she touched her body, muttering over and over again, "Sister..." and even moaned emotionally, as if it was Concubine Dong E touching her.

Sangzhi hid in the shadows, only feeling cold all over.If Concubine Zhen finds out about this—even if Lu Ying doesn't kill her, Concubine Zhen must kill her to silence her.

Must leave immediately!She turned around and left, but because she was too frightened, she stepped on the ground and sprained her ankle.Worse than the sprain, she kicked a rock into the water as she slipped, making a sound.

"Who!" Concubine Zhen on the lonely pavilion was already very nervous, and the sound of stones falling into the water could not escape her ears.

Sang Zhi was so frightened that her heart almost stopped, and she wanted to run away, but her ankle hurt so badly that she couldn't walk at all.So she didn't say a word, but still heard Zhenfei's footsteps getting closer.

"It's you." After all, Concubine Zhen came to her, squatting down, "You're really unlucky." She grabbed Sang Zhi's neck, silently began to exert force.

Sang Zhi held her hand tightly, and forced out a voice with great difficulty, "...if I die, will the queen...let it go?"

Concubine Zhen's eyes paused, but her face was expressionless, and her hands didn't stop.

"You...will...injure Concubine Dong E..." Sang Zhi was almost out of breath.At this moment, the strength in Concubine Zhen's hands stopped increasing, and Sang Zhi quickly took the opportunity to say, "With the empress's love for me, if I die... here, the empress will definitely... thoroughly investigate." She gasped In a tone, "Jiang Xuexuan is your territory. Even if you won't be punished because of a slave, won't the queen hate Concubine Dong E for it? Or, just in case, if you find out what you think about Concubine Dong E, Concubine Dong E will how to think?"

Concubine Zhen froze.She was afraid that Concubine Dong E would know her thoughts, but she couldn't help getting close to Concubine Dong E.Of course she knew that her sister, imperial concubine Dong Eshi, only had the emperor in her heart.Only, Your Majesty!Concubine Zhen pinched Sangzhi's neck again, "If you keep you, wouldn't it be even more of a disaster."

"We...have the same...secret," Sang Zhi blushed, "I...you know..."

Hearing what she said, Concubine Zhen let go of her hand suddenly, still looking down at her, "I still can't believe you."

"Speaking out won't do me any good," Sang Zhi seized the opportunity to pant, "I don't want to die, and I'm not that stupid."

Concubine Zhen frowned, thinking of what she was doing just now, she couldn't help but feel hot all of a sudden.She braced herself to stand still, her eyes flashed, and she suddenly grabbed Sangzhi's collar, "You just..."

"I didn't see anything." Sang Zhi said hastily.

Concubine Zhen sneered, "I have a safer way." A strange light flashed in her eyes, before Sang Zhi could react, the collar of Concubine Zhen was torn apart by Concubine Zhen, and before she even had time to exclaim, she felt Concubine Zhen's cold palm Stick it on your skin, "What are you doing!"

Concubine Zhen didn't answer, and ignored Sang Zhi's struggle, she tore off her belt. Sang Zhi struggled, but suddenly felt a gust of cold wind pouring into her body, and Concubine Zhen had already lifted her top to her shoulders.Sang Zhi was so frightened that her pupils opened wide, but at this moment Concubine Zhen tore her neckline, grabbed Sang Zhi's hand and put it on her shoulder, approached her and whispered, "Bold slave, you dare to insult me! "

Sangzhi's mushy mind instantly understood.What Concubine Zhen means is that even if Sang Zhi turns against him in the future, she can still beat him up, "What a shameless and skinny slave, who dares to molest Bengong while I'm drunk, he deserves death!" Concubine Zhen said, grabbing The fingers holding Sangzhi grasped hard on his shoulder, gasping for air in pain.

Although Sangzhi didn't leave any nails, Concubine Zhen's strength was enough to leave scars.

Just then, there was another footstep.Sang Zhi suddenly woke up, it was the Green Warbler!

Standing not far away, Lu Ying saw the disheveled mulberry branch lying on the ground, and the concubine Zhen who was half kneeling in front of her, and froze for a moment.

"It's the Green Warbler." Sang Zhi whispered, Concubine Zhen frowned, stood up slowly, and said to the Green Warbler, "Green Warbler, come here."

Luying secretly screamed in her heart that something was wrong, she didn't know what happened here, Concubine Zhen called her but she had to go, so she went forward respectfully and saluted, "I have seen Concubine Zhen."

Just as she was saluting, Concubine Zhen suddenly pushed her down to the ground, and grabbed Luying's throat with both hands.Green Warbler struggled desperately and grabbed the dagger in her hand.

Concubine Zhen's eyes were sharp, and when she saw the dagger, she quickly dodged it, and Luying got up and ran away.Concubine Zhen shouted anxiously, "What are you still doing in a daze!" The voice was not loud, but it brought back Sang Zhi's sanity.Can't let the green warbler go, the green warbler knows too much.

Although she was still on the ground, she stretched out her foot and tripped the green warbler, who staggered and fell to the ground, and the dagger in her hand was thrown into the stream.She began to wrestle with Sang Zhi, but this time Sang Zhi had the upper hand and strangled Green Warbler's neck tightly.When Lu Ying was struggling, Sang Zhi began to tremble, Zhen Fei rushed up, "If she doesn't die, we will die!"

Sang Zhi's heart trembled, and her lips trembled, "I'm sorry..." She almost exerted all her strength to strangle Lu Ying's throat, and Concubine Zhen tightly covered her mouth and nose to prevent Lu Ying from making a sound.

The green warbler struggled, struggled, like a fish thrown on the shore, after struggling hard, finally exerted force in all four limbs, and could no longer move.

The body also gradually loses temperature.

But Sang Zhi kept her hands stiff and strangled Luying's neck, and didn't even hear Concubine Zhen say, "She's dead."

died.

Time passed by, Sang Zhi turned pale and trembled all over, Concubine Zhen looked at her with pity, "We have to deal with the corpse as soon as possible."

"Either she dies, or we die." Concubine Zhen said indifferently, "This palace is like this."

Sang Zhi panted, her hands trembling, "I know." She tried her best to stabilize her emotions.When you die, you die.

She had come this far, and she couldn't turn back.

"It can't be handled. She belongs to the Empress Dowager and is still in charge of Chengqian Palace. Her death cannot be concealed." At this moment, Sang Zhi's thinking was extremely clear, "This is Jiang Xuexuan, who died on your territory. You need Alibi, I need it too."

The two fell silent for a while, and Sangzhi couldn't die easily because there was a queen behind him.Not even the green warbler, behind the green warbler is Aunt Su Ma, the queen mother.

After a long time, Concubine Zhen became irritable, "Then what should I do!"

"We will return to the Qian Palace immediately." Although his voice was still trembling, Sang Zhi's thoughts were extremely clear, "You are with the imperial concubine tonight, and I have never been here before." Concubine Zhen's hairpin, "You gave it to me tonight. When I returned to Chengqian Palace from Xinzheku in the next year, Concubine Zhen gave it to me in person for my hard work. I'm going to sleep." Her throat was rough, "This matter, as long as the imperial concubine can testify for you, I can temporarily block it."

"I've already returned to Zhongcui Palace." Concubine Zhen's expression was extremely bad, "Everyone in the palace has seen it."

There was another dead silence.

"What time is it now?"

"Probably, ugly time."

"In half an hour, the people in Zhongcui Palace should wake up."

But at this moment, there was the sound of small footsteps, and someone came with a lantern.

"who is it?"

"Jiang Xuexuan's servant."

"Is there still someone to serve here?" Sang Zhi was surprised, Concubine Zhen dared to do such a thing here, and she dared to keep someone to serve.

Concubine Zhen gritted her teeth, "We must keep people, Jiang Xuexuan can't be empty. But only two or three maids live here, far away from the rockery."

"Here we come—" Sang Zhi lowered her voice, and Concubine Zhen immediately silenced her voice.

It's a court lady.There was a lantern shining on it, and Sangzhi recognized it as Yichun.

Yichun quietly woke up early.The water in Jiangxuexuan rockery waterfall flows outside the palace.Yichun looked at the people around him, and secretly took out an oilcloth from his arms. He didn't know what was wrapped in it. Yichun put the oilcloth on the folded boat and prayed, "Bless Brother Zhuzi to be successful as soon as possible, good people must wait for me go out."

Concubine Zhen who was hiding in the distance couldn't help frowning when she heard it, "So that's how it is." She narrowed her eyes and suddenly had an idea.

Before Sang Zhi could react, Concubine Zhen had already stood up and walked to Yichun not far away, "What are you doing?"

"Zhen... Concubine Zhen!" Yichun was so frightened that his soul almost went out of his body, and he immediately collapsed on the ground, unable to utter a word to beg for mercy.

Concubine Zhen looked at her quietly, picked up her boat, "To the lover?"

"Mother...forgive me..." Yichun's heart seemed to have jumped out, his head was buzzing, and his limbs were stiff.

"Secretly meeting a foreigner, he should be executed." Concubine Zhen uttered these words quietly, and Yichun almost passed out.

Concubine Zhen said again, "If your lover is found out, you will also be punished."

Yichun kowtowed and begged for mercy, the palace rules are the strictest for the servants of the lower ranks, she knew she had committed a big taboo, so she didn't dare to say more.

Concubine Zhen let her kowtow, but said nothing.Yichun was terribly frightened, seeing that Concubine Zhen didn't speak, she kowtowed vigorously, and in fright, she kowtowed herself to death.

Sangzhi sat where she was, with the cold corpse of the green warbler beside her.She was a little numb and cold, watching Concubine Zhen frighten people to death with cold eyes.

After a while, Concubine Zhen got up and dragged Yichun's body over, "Two maids fought in private and died." She said lightly.

Sangzhi looked at the corpses of the two people in front of him, as if he was the one who died.Her mind was blank, she was cold from inside to outside.

I saw Concubine Zhen stepping away from them with a blank face.

Both inside and outside the palace are about to wake up.

In mid-spring, everything flourishes.

Sang Zhi struggled to get up from the two dead bodies, she couldn't return to the Qian Palace now, she would definitely reveal her secrets when she went back.I can only go to Kunning Palace and find the queen.Her clothes were disheveled, she was in a state of embarrassment, dragging her excruciatingly painful ankle, she walked towards the scene and the door step by step before the palace servants woke up.You have to sneak in when the door is open, when the sky is not fully lit, and when you don't attract the attention of others.

Yinshi's morning bell has rung for the first time.

Kunning Palace woke up.The emperor got up from the queen's bed, very dissatisfied.This queen is no different from before.As long as it's like a log on the bed, it makes him very unhappy.One visit to the bed, and even the goodwill towards the queen that had been hard-won over the past few days was wiped out.The women in the harem are either too stupid or too stupid, and they are not as good as Concubine Dong E.The queen failed to make him happy, the emperor was furious when he opened his eyes, and felt that the queen was not pleasing to the eye anyway.Especially when he saw the queen's pale face, he was even more disturbed.Impatiently, he shook off the queen's trembling hands and called, "Wu Liangfu!" Wu Liangfu hurried over to change the emperor's clothes.

Seeing that the emperor was angry, the empress and the others could only kneel silently aside.Cai Wanyun didn't dare to come over and support the queen until the emperor shook her sleeves and left, "The empress..."

"Bath." The empress's voice trembled, she only uttered these two words, and said no more.It seems that if you say one more word, you will fall down.

☆, don't be afraid

Contrary to Sang Zhi's expectation, he could see from a distance that he could enter and exit the Kunning Palace and the gate was heavily guarded.She stopped in her tracks, stopped suspiciously, and planned to sneak in through the Yongxiang Gate next to Dongnuan Pavilion with a little hesitation.The East and West Nuan Pavilions on both sides of the Kunning Palace are always empty, but I am afraid that the emperor will rise up to rest here at some time. This risk is unavoidable if it is not a last resort.

Sang Zhi was in a state of confusion, when he saw the scene at the Jinghe gate, he couldn't understand why the guards at the Jinghe gate were so cautious and diligent today.In Yinshi in the past, eunuchs who change shifts often have a short period of time to go to Jinghemen. Although it is not long, it is not difficult for Sangzhi to slip in because the sky is not very bright.

"What's the matter today..." Sang Zhi murmured, she felt a severe headache, her eyes were swollen, and she was extremely depressed after a night of shock.

Surprisingly, however, the eunuch of Yongxiangmen's shift also arrived.Sang Zhi felt more and more strange, but fortunately Yongxiang Gate was far away from the Qianqing Palace, and the eunuchs here were quite idle.The gatekeeper eunuch didn't sleep well playing cards at night, and now he yawned sleepily.Sang Zhi hid behind the stone lion by the door, relying on his thin body, approached the door cautiously.The eunuch guarding the gate was still rubbing his eyes, Sang Zhi thought for a while, picked up a stone mixed with silver and threw it vigorously towards the middle of the road, making the sound of the stone hitting the ground.When the eunuch heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and vaguely saw a whitish object in front of him, and seeing that there was no one around, he couldn't help stepping forward to check it out of curiosity.When it was clear that it was a piece of silver, the eunuch regained his spirits immediately, Sangzhi had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and when the eunuch turned his back to him, he sprinted in through the Yongxiang Gate.The eunuch behind her hurriedly picked up the silver, bit it again with his teeth, and said cheerfully, "Hey, I picked up the money early in the morning. Fortunately, I came early." Otherwise, when another eunuch on duty also came over, this The silver would not be his own.He put the silver in his pocket, looked around and found nothing unusual, then happily squeezed the silver in his pocket and went back to guard the door.

When Sangzhi came in from the door, he had to quicken his pace and trot, and when he ran, he felt a sharp pain in his ankle.But she didn't dare to make a sound, she clenched her teeth and endured it, fearing that her tendons might be twisted.Time was running out, and she couldn't allow her to walk slowly, otherwise Kunning Palace would no longer be a safe place when the queen woke up and tidied up.The situation was threatening, and Sang Zhi had to quicken his pace, and the pain caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead.Fortunately, Yongxiang Gate is not far from Kunning Palace, and it is located at the back side of Kunning Palace, so it is not easy to be spotted by the busy people in front.To Kunning Palace, Sangzhi was familiar with the way, she managed to hide along the corner of the wall, and before she could stand still, she heard Wu Liangfu's voice, "Let's drive—"

——start driving? !Sang Zhi suddenly opened his eyes wide, didn't it? !

She suddenly suffocated, and hid herself stiffly behind the wall, and saw Wu Liangfu respectfully waiting for the emperor to come out of Kunning Palace.Vaguely, she also heard Su Le's extremely steady voice from the room, "The concubine sent the emperor respectfully."

Before dawn, Emperor Luan left Kunning Palace in a mighty car.

Sang Zhi froze in place, suffocating as if something had strangled her throat.She stared at the emperor and his party until their backs disappeared from sight, as if she was stabbed in the heart unexpectedly, the blood was dripping and couldn't be suppressed, making Sang Zhi's throat burst with a burst of fishy sweetness.When she came out of Jiangxuexuan, she was still holding on, only thinking about seeing Su Le, but she never expected that Sang Zhi collapsed to the ground in an instant, and her heart felt cold, so cold that her blood faded away. Can shrink in the corner and tremble all over.

What did she experience that night—a truth, a murder case, a palace secret that she shouldn't know, and an escape.Helplessness, panic, fear, all the suppressed emotions were torn apart by the embarrassment brought by the queen's bedtime. She was on the verge of collapse, her stomach churned uncontrollably, and she fell on the ground and couldn't stop crying. Vomit, as if wanting to spit out my heart.However, even the retching couldn't make a sound. She seemed to lose her voice, and cried silently on the ground.The mouth was wide open, but she couldn't take a breath of air, and she couldn't make a sound. Sang Zhi grabbed her heart with all her strength, and her fingertips were deeply embedded in the flesh, grabbing the distinct joints on the chest. She tried her best but still couldn't touch herself. heart.That place was so painful that she couldn't breathe, and she didn't feel the pain of flesh and blood at all.

The only sound was the creaking of her teeth, and the back teeth were almost crushed.

The severe pain and sorrow that almost completely reborn her pervaded silently.No one was disturbed, except the ground wet with tears and the heart scratched by Sang Zhi himself.At the corner of the Kunning Palace, there is a carved corridor blocking her figure. No one knows what is going on here. The only thing that witnesses a woman's heartbreaking, desperate pain is this cold and dark corner.

When Sangzhi's bloodshot eyes turned red, the sky was already bright.I don't know how long it has passed, but for Sang Zhi, a lifetime has passed.She finally raised her head, but her face was already shockingly cold.Those eyes seemed to have quenched poison and chiseled ice, which made people shudder.She looked at the palace, at the half-dark sky, and finally stood up.Her ankle was already hot and swollen, but she didn't seem to feel it at all. She limped step by step, but her steps were extremely steady.

Cai Wanyun sent someone to wait for the empress to take a bath, but she couldn't wait for the empress to come out for a long time.The breakfast had already been delivered, and it was almost getting cold, but the empress still didn't move at all, Cai Wanyun was worried, and asked through the screen, "Reporting to the empress, it's time for breakfast."

After a long time, I heard the Empress Empress inside say two words, "Withdraw."

Is that what you mean by not eating?Cai Wanyun looked embarrassed, and wanted to persuade her, "The empress..." But the empress did not respond.

It seems that the Empress has made up her mind that she will not eat any more.

Cai Wanyun was so worried that she had no choice but to withdraw the breakfast.She waited outside for a long time, but the empress hadn't come out yet!It's been almost half an hour!Cai Wanyun was a little anxious, "Empress Empress—"

Before the empress could respond, all the maids serving inside were kicked out.Cai Wanyun grabbed one of them and asked in a low voice, "How is the empress doing now?"

"Go back to Mammy, the mother has been soaking in the bathtub, and the servants have not come forward to serve for a while, and they were kicked out."

"Did the Empress say when she will come out?" Cai Wanyun sighed after finishing speaking, "Forget it, I'm confused, what's the use of asking you. Does the Empress have any other orders?"

"Back to Mammy, no. It's just..."

"Just what?" Cai Wanyun sternly said, seeing that no one was hesitant to speak, "Speak up if you have something to say!"

The maid was so frightened that she quickly knelt down, "The empress has injuries on her body, I'm afraid it can't get wet. But the empress has been rubbing her body vigorously, and the scars are getting worse..."

"Go down." Hearing this, Cai Wanyun was terrified. After she waved away the maid, she hesitated for a long time before she came to the screen, "The Empress..." She tentatively wanted to enter the room, but just as she made a move, she heard the cold voice of the Empress. , "Order down, no one is allowed to come in."

Cai Wanyun froze in place, moved her lips and silently retracted her feet.

Seeing the time passing by, the empress still had no intention of coming out, Cai Wanyun couldn't help feeling anxious.She was confused, walked up and down the door, couldn't help sighing again and again, but she couldn't think of anyone who could persuade the queen, except——

Mulberry branches.

Cai Wanyun's mood is extremely complicated. Her dislike for Sang Zhi is the disgust from the bottom of her heart. The disgust was born because Sang Zhi harmed the queen, and it was also born because Sang Zhi was vacillating as a house slave with two surnames, and it was also because Sang Zhi swayed her Cai Wanyun. Born in front of the empress of Kunning Palace.She wished she could let Sang Zhi disappear from her eyes for the rest of her life, but she couldn't help thinking about the queen.She is an excellent servant, and her loyalty to her master is engraved in her bone marrow, so her loyalty to the queen is not far behind Su Ma's loyalty to the queen mother.Moreover, the queen empress is kind and kind, and treats her well.It is the righteousness of master and servant that prevents Cai Wanyun from turning a blind eye to the empress's almost self-harming behavior. Besides, the empress is the master who can decide her honor and disgrace in this life.

Are you really going to find Sangzhi?Cai Wanyun felt sullen in her heart, and finally had to compromise, she was too worried about the queen, "Come on—"

"Mother Cai."

As soon as Cai Wanyun spoke, she heard someone calling herself in a low voice, she frowned, followed the sound, looked carefully and said in surprise, "Sang Zhi?!" She could hardly recognize the person in front of her.Sangzhi's face was dirty, he was in a mess, and his eyes were red, as if he had been robbed.However, there was a coldness in those eyes, and the voice was so deep that it made one's heart tremble, "It's me."

"You..." Cai Wanyun didn't know what to say, she was still hesitating whether to send someone to find Sang Zhi just now, at this moment, Sang Zhi appeared in front of her.But how dare Cai Wanyun let the empress see Sangzhi with this appearance!Cai Wanyun's intuition was not very good, and she quickly waved away the other court ladies.

"I need to take a shower and change clothes," Sang Zhi said with a blank expression, "Please help Madam Cai."

Although what she said was not very polite, Cai Wanyun's heart trembled inexplicably with Sangzhi's tone and eyes, especially Sangzhi's eyes, which seemed to have no sharpness, but always made Cai Wanyun feel that if she didn't agree, Sangzhi could kill her. own.Cai Wanyun couldn't help taking a small step back, her brows furrowed more and more, feeling that there was a lot of hostility hidden in Sang Zhi's seemingly calm eyes.The anger spread all over Sang Zhi's body, but it was contained very well, only the bloodthirsty and resentful anger in his eyes could not be completely hidden.Cai Wanyun was inexplicably frightened, she felt that she couldn't stimulate Sang Zhi at this time, so she said, "Okay, follow me." With so many years of experience in the court, Cai Wanyun clearly felt that Sang Zhi was afraid of something serious.She couldn't guess what happened, but at least there was no movement yet.

Sang Zhi's thin lips were drawn into a cold line, she moved her lips slightly and said, "Thank you."

Cai Wanyun didn't disturb the others, she led the way and took Sangzhi back to the room to take a shower and change clothes.As he was walking, he realized that Sang Zhi was limping.Cai Wanyun couldn't help but glance at Sang Zhi's feet, only then did she see Sang Zhi's swollen ankle, almost as thick as a calf.

"Hiss—" Cai Wanyun couldn't help gasping, thinking how painful that would be!She was about to speak, but when she raised her head, she saw Sang Zhi, who was expressionless, who seemed to be completely indifferent, and the words she wanted to say were swallowed back.However, there was a sense of fear for no reason in her heart, and Nanny Cai felt that if this pain could be endured, then Sang Zhi must have extraordinary strength.A person with extraordinary strength, strategy and the favor of the empress will not remain unknown all his life.For the first time, Cai Wanyun felt that it was impossible for her to beat Sang Zhi.

After making arrangements for Sang Zhi, when Cai Wanyun was about to go out, Sang Zhi suddenly asked, "Did the emperor stay in Kunning Palace last night?"

Cai Wanyun was taken aback for a moment, she pursed her lips and felt that there was no need to hide it, "Yes."

Sangzhi clenched her teeth a little more, and after a while, she asked again, "Empress Empress...how is it now?"

"It's not good." Cai Wanyun lowered her eyes, turned her face away from Sang Zhi, "The empress has been soaking in the bathtub for half an hour, and she hasn't come out yet. And..." She gritted her teeth and continued, " According to the serving maid, the empress has injuries and cannot stay in the water all the time."

Sang Zhi's heart twitched, "Hurt?" Cai Wanyun nodded with complicated eyes, everything was understood without words.

"..." Sang Zhi choked for breath, and the hatred was much stronger.She suppressed her sobs and said hoarsely, "I see."

Cai Wanyun sighed heavily, hesitated when she closed the door and went out, and still said to her, "I hope you... can go and persuade the Empress later."

Sang Zhi's eyes turned hot, she turned around and said, "Don't worry." She murmured, "I won't make her afraid anymore."

Cai Wanyun didn't hear the last sentence clearly, and left with a sigh.

Sangzhi's hands trembled again, she stripped herself naked, and when she entered the bathtub, she seemed to see the empress who was hiding in the bathtub and refused to come out, she felt a dull pain in her heart for a moment, and the tears could no longer be stopped, slap It all fell into the hot water.

However, she couldn't delay for too long.Missing that person all over his heart, Sang Zhi tidied himself up neatly, and when he got dressed, he saw the Dieda wine on the side.

It was sent to her by Cai Wanyun.

Sang Zhi stared at Dieda Jiu silently for a long time, with a faint invisible arc drawn on the corner of her lips.She pushed open the door and walked towards Kunning's palace with her wet hair.

☆, ah

The main hall of Kunning Palace was silent.

Seeing Sang Zhi coming in, Cai Wanyun pursed her lips, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and signaled, "The Empress has not come out yet. The water should be cold."

Sang Zhi frowned, and walked inward.

When the queen heard footsteps, her voice immediately dropped a few degrees. Without turning her head, she reprimanded coldly, "Get out." This was touching the queen's scales.

However, the footsteps behind him were just a pause, but they didn't stop.The queen suddenly became angry, just about to get angry but before she turned around, she suddenly froze—except for Sang Zhi, who else would dare to ignore her orders like this?She didn't even have to look back, she was already sure who it was.But for some reason, infinite grievances suddenly poured out of the originally numb heart, and tears burst out of his eyes.She wanted to hug Sang Zhi, but she had an inexplicable rejection of herself. She wanted to see Sang Zhi, but she dared not.

Sang Zhi couldn't walk fast because of her ankle.But just as she was about to walk to the tub, the Empress slipped into the water without saying a word.Sang Zhi hurriedly quickened his pace and reached out to catch her.But I heard the Queen cover her mouth and say in a muffled voice, "Go out."

"Come out." Sang Zhi felt distressed, grabbed her by the shoulders and tried to fish her out of the water, only to find that the water was already freezing.Sangzhi's heart twitched, and he couldn't help getting angry, "Come out!"

The posture is not very good, the queen is shrunk at the bottom of the water, and Sang Zhi is standing outside, it is inconvenient to force her out.

"You yell at me!" The queen emerged from the bottom of the water with red eyes.Tears and water stains mixed on his cheeks, and he stared at Sangzhi aggrievedly and angrily.

That appearance was so pitiful that it made Sang Zhi feel soft-hearted in an instant, so she became soft and called her, "Sule~" She leaned on the edge of the tub, looked at the queen with only her head exposed, and said, "It's me. Not good," she said, stretching out her hand towards the queen, "come out, the water is so cold, it's not good to catch a cold for a while."

"No." The queen lowered her head, "I want to be in the water."

Sangzhi felt a pain in his heart again.She suppressed her choked emotions,
