Return with you

On the evening of the second day, Concubine Chen waited in the palace for a long time, but the little girl from yesterday did not show up.

Putting the finished menstruation belt into the bag, Concubine Chen set up the window, put the tied bag on the window sill, blew out the candles, and went back to bed to sleep peacefully.

After waking up early in the morning, Concubine Chen looked at the window sill, and the burden of yesterday was gone.

The little girl really didn't dare to meet her face to face.

After seven days, the sunflower water finally stopped, and An Wu jumped up and down happily. There were many obstacles between his legs in the past few days, and he always felt that he was not used to it, and his movements were inconvenient.

After being stuck for seven days, Anwu sped up his groping for secret passages at night, but he only searched for a large circle of palaces around the imperial dining room, but he did not find a secret passage.

The days passed day by day, and soon the Mid-Autumn Festival came. The concubines in the harem did not have the honorable status like queens, so they went to the emperor's banquet. So, the concubine Zhen, who was very favored recently, blew some pillow wind, and the emperor agreed with her A small banquet is held in the imperial garden, and all concubines are invited to enjoy the full moon.

Concubine Zhen didn't have enough court ladies and eunuchs, so she borrowed some from the imperial dining room, and An Wu was one of them.

Although it was a small banquet for the concubines, it could not be sloppy, and three imperial chefs were assigned to organize this banquet.

The sky was getting dark, and Anwu had been busy since morning, so he had no time to spare.

Concubine Zhen, as the host, made sure to dress herself up to impress the crowd, and she came to the banquet earlier to see if there were any mistakes.

An Wu lowered his head, holding a bowl of soup in his hand, the time for the banquet was approaching, and his pace became a little anxious for a while.

At the corner of the corridor, An Wu, who was walking quickly, collided with Concubine Zhen who was walking from the other side. An Wu quickly held the soup bowl in his hand so that the soup would not fall to the ground, and he breathed a sigh of relief .

Just the next second, a slap on Anwu's face made a loud noise, and a bright red palm print with five distinct fingers immediately appeared on his cheek.

"You lowly servant girl, how dare you dirty my clothes. This is the emerald smoke Luoqiyun skirt bestowed by the emperor!" No matter how fast, some of the soup spilled on Concubine Zhen's skirt, and Concubine Zhen used the handkerchief He wiped hard but couldn't remove the filth, so he was so angry that he directly vented his anger on the culprit in front of him, "Nurse Chang, pull this lowly servant girl down and feed it to the dogs!"

"Wait a moment."

A voice came from behind, Anwu looked past Zhenfei and the others, and saw the person walking towards them slowly, the concubine Chen whom she was ashamed to face.

"Meet Sister Zhen."

"Why did Sister Chen come so early today?" Concubine Zhen used a handkerchief to block the filth in front of her belly, but she couldn't let anyone look at her embarrassment.

Concubine Chen glanced at An Wu, who was bowing her head, and then continued to look at Concubine Zhen, "Sister, are you teaching me a lesson?"

"Some slaves who don't know good or bad and don't know the rules will definitely be severely punished." Gritting her teeth, Zhen Fei felt very angry.

"It's natural to give a little warning, but it won't lead people to be fed to dogs. This is a reckless disregard for human life. I hope my sister will think twice." Although Chen Fei's words are reasonable, this concubine Zhen is arrogant and domineering, and she will not let people go easily. The concubine took a few steps forward, and whispered in Concubine Zhen's ear with a voice that only two people could hear, "There is a five-color brocade plate and gold embroidered satin skirt in my sister's palace, so I ordered someone to send it to my sister's palace. I hope my sister can let go of the servant who ran into you."

"Sister, are you really willing?" Concubine Zhen was skeptical. This five-color brocade and gold embroidered silk skirt was sewn together by five embroiderers with amazing craftsmanship. It is the only one in the world. Cheap slaves?

"My sister has the face of sinking fish and wild goose, and the appearance of closing the moon and shameful flowers. Only a character like sister is worthy of the five-color brocade plate and gold embroidered satin skirt."

Concubine Zhen beamed with joy at being touted, and got another rare treasure. She ordered Nanny Chang to let go of the dark guard, and take people back to her palace to change clothes before coming back to preside over the banquet.

I knew that even if I escaped to death, I would not escape a severe beating, but when Concubine Zhen and Concubine Chen smiled and left, suspicion suddenly arose in An Wu's heart, but Concubine Zhen let him go so easily, it must be this Concubine Chen Concubine's handwriting.

"Thank you... Thank you... Concubine Chen." Aside from being watched, An Wu felt that this concubine Chen really treated her very well, and it was the first time someone treated her so well.

"Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."

As if she didn't know the person in front of her, Concubine Chen casually said a word, walked around An Wu to the resting place of the banquet.

Looking at the back of Concubine Chen going away, An Wu felt that he couldn't see through Concubine Chen.

"Have you heard? Concubine Zhen's five-color brocade and gold embroidered satin skirt was brilliant at the moon banquet the day before. I took a look at it from a distance. It was so beautiful. The emperor also directly rewarded Concubine Zhen a lot." gold and silver jewels.”

"I found out that the five-color dress was originally owned by Concubine Chen, and I don't know how Concubine Zhen got it."

"It's not that you don't know Concubine Zhen's temperament, I'm afraid she used some improper means..."

After a day's tiring, An Wu lay on her bed, stretching her muscles and bones. She had good hearing, but she didn't miss a few maids in the same room chatting around the table and gossip about the concubines in the harem.

Could it be that that day, Concubine Chen exchanged five-color skirts with Concubine Zhen?

Unable to suppress the idea, Anwu decided not to explore the secret passage today, but to go to Huanchen Palace instead.

Before it was late at night, Huanchen Palace ushered in the emperor of Fu Kingdom and another concubine whom he didn't know.

It's just that the emperor didn't come to stay overnight, but came to Xingshi to question the crime.

The emperor threw the witchcraft doll with a needle in his hand in front of the concubine Chen. The concubine kept covering her face, obviously crying.

With an imperial decree, Concubine Chen was thrown into the cold palace, and even the plaque of Huanchen Palace was removed on the spot.

An Wu hid on the beam of the house, seeing everything clearly, the sneer on the concubine's face did not escape An Wu's eyes after hearing Concubine Chen's fate.

The concubine also did a great job, taking away all the maids around Concubine Chen, leaving her alone in that gloomy cold palace, the emperor was angry, and let the concubine act like this.

The guards took Concubine Chen to the cold palace and then went back to do business, Anwu followed all the way, and appeared in front of Concubine Chen the moment Concubine Chen entered the palace.

"You didn't make that witchcraft doll at all, why didn't you explain it?" An Wu really didn't understand why he had to acquiesce in something he hadn't done.

Concubine Chen was not surprised when she heard An Wu's voice, there was no candle in the hall, and nothing could be seen in the dark, "Do you have a fire book?"

Feeling in his bosom, pulled off the cover and blew, the fire came out, and Anwu handed the fire folder to Concubine Chen.

Concubine Chen walked around holding the fire folder, and the furnishings in this hall were similar to those in Huanchen Hall, except that dust had accumulated for a long time, there were spider webs, and a few tenacious weeds grew on the ground.

"If you don't explain, you are now reduced to living in such a broken place."

Concubine Chen walked back to An Wu's side, "In this harem, explaining is the most useless thing, it's fine to come to the Leng Palace, it will be clean."

An Wu didn't say anything anymore, he hugged Concubine Chen horizontally.

Concubine Chen consciously raised her arms, hooked An Wu's neck, and stabilized her body.

Sensing Concubine Chen's obedience, An Wu became more and more confused about Concubine Chen in her arms, "Don't you ask me why I picked you up?"

"Hug if you want."

Four words sent An Wu away, An Wu was discouraged, carried him out of the cold palace, walked two palaces to the left, and entered a side hall.

"Stay here for one night tonight, and it won't be too late until the cold palace is cleaned up tomorrow." Carrying the man to the bed and putting him down, An Wu looked at Concubine Chen's calm face, curled his lips, and said, " You are the first person who treated me well without asking for anything in return, you should be quite lonely in that palace by yourself, I will accompany you in the days to come."

After finishing speaking, Anwu closed the door and went out of the hall, and went back to the imperial dining room to get some things and do something while he was there.

Concubine Chen has never cared much about things and people since she was a child, and meeting this little girl is an exception.

I don't know how the days in the cold palace will be in the future, but at least it won't be difficult, after all, there is a little girl who can come and go freely in the palace although she doesn't know her origin.
