Chapter 312 Unexpected Gain
Chapter 312 Unexpected Harvest
The cold palace is far away from the palace where the concubine lives, and it is a corner forgotten by everyone. Once you enter the cold palace, it is like heaven and hell. There is no one to serve you. Without gorgeous food, it is difficult to see a few people all year round.
Therefore, many deposed concubines and nobles can't stand the miserable palace life after being abolished, or go crazy or committed suicide.
Everyone thinks that the resentment in the cold palace is too deep and the yin is too heavy, which is the place with the deepest resentment in the whole harem. It is wise to stay away.
The house where Mo Ziyao lives is a separate courtyard, which may be in disrepair and no one lives there. The palace tiles are dilapidated, and the carved columns are covered with thick dust and messy and dense cobwebs. You can't see the gold drawings once painted on it.
In the room, the light is dim, and there is a smell of decay and mold everywhere. There is a window in the west, but the window paper on it has long been dilapidated and can't shelter from the wind and rain.
Because she was sent in in a coma last night, she woke up sad and desperate. Although some people came in and simply cleaned it up, those people knew that they were just a disgraced concubine, and no one would try their best to clean it up.
After putting down the cup, Mo Ziyao got up to sit down, and then sat down. The bed board under her made a "squeaky" sound. Although the maidservants in charge of cleaning added another quilt to her in the morning, it was still thin and did not play much work.
She looked up and waved to Gu Qinger, signaling her to come and sit here. Although it is only a thin layer, it is better than that bench.
Gu Qinger glanced at her and then looked at the wooden bed under her. She did not move and said with a blank face, "It seems that the emperor is really affectionate. With a new person, he doesn't care about the life or death of the old man." With that, she stood up and stretched herself, "Now the temperature is starting to warm up. Although there is no need to light the stove, it is still cold at night." After saying that, he gently twisted his waist and disappeared into Mo Ziyao's vision.
Mo Ziyao looked at her faraway back and sighed. In fact, she and Gu Qinger did not have a deep hatred. Now in this cold palace, they naturally have no desire to fight.
No one can be seen here. There are weeds in the empty and desolate courtyard, and occasionally a few birds fall down to forage and sing in the yard. In such an environment, what's the point of competing for victory?
It was already evening after Gu Qinger left. Thick clouds linger in the sky, dark and depressing. When the sunset finally finished the last afterglow, the world gradually darkened.
And Mo Ziyao sat on the threshold and looked at the afterglow falling to the horizon. The bats no longer hid and began to go out for food, spinning over the yard. In the weeds on the ground, I don't know what birds are hiding, whining in a hoarse voice, and I don't know what shocked I was. Suddenly, I screamed and dragged the sound and flew away...
Mo Ziyao heard the sound of footsteps approaching. She raised her eyes and saw Qinger go back. Surprised, seeing that she was still holding a quilt in her hand, she quickly came over. As soon as she stood up, she saw that Qinger had thrown the bedding in her hand and heard her say, "Don't thank me. You brushed me at that time. Now, it's just returning your favor." He left quickly without waiting for what Mo Ziyao said.
Mo Ziyao tightened the bedding in her hand with tears and laughing, and thought to himself: Is this a good cause and a good result?
This night, she slept soundly and never dreamed that Yuzhi looked at her crying with blood all over her body. Nowadays, you don't have to ask anyone to comfort you, and you don't have to worry about who to plan for whom.
Get up and found a food box on the table. She knew that the maidservant who delivered the food had come. Maybe she was still asleep, so she didn't wake up.
After eating, she is going to find Suti. Fortunately, the cold palace is not big, so it is easy to find Suti's residence. She actually lives in the same courtyard with Qing'er.
When I saw her, she was sitting under the window of the room as a red woman.
The arrival of Mo Ziyao almost pierced her finger in shock. At that moment, he quickly put down the work in his hand, greeted him, hugged her, and shed tears without saying a word.
After a while, their mood gradually stabilized. Suti pulled her to sit on the couch, held her hand, gritted her teeth and said, "I didn't expect that the emperor would be so ruthless. He used to love you in every way, but now he has put you into the cold palace with a wave of his hand. Sure enough, the emperor is loveless.
Suti's words made Mo Ziyao feel sad again. Emperor, is it really ruthless? She gently withdrew her hand and pulled up the corners of her lips and tried to show a smile. "That's it. What's the use of saying it?" Why don't you think about what will happen in the future?
Su Ti said, "I'm used to the life here. Although it's bitter, I'm at least at home." Turning her eyes and looking at Mo Ziyao, she shook her head and said regretfully, "But Sister Jinger is different from me. You love the emperor and have paid so much for him. It shouldn't be like this."
"Oh, so what?" Mo Ziyao only felt that her heart was ashes and said feebly.
Suti's eyes flashed inexplicably, "You should cheer up, find a way out of here, and take back everything that belongs to you."
Mo Ziyao's fingertips trembled and looked up at Suti in surprise. Her beautiful eyes were wide, and her eyes were cold, firm and full of fighting spirit.
In a trance, Mo Ziyao remembered the scene when she persuaded her to live a good life, and suddenly felt that Suti had changed, became strange and did not look like her. However, her words, like a lonely lamp in the dark, instantly showed her the way forward.
Yuzhi's miserable appearance full of blood jumped into her mind, and her helpless eyes stared straight at her, which made her angina pectoris.
My heart hurts. Those who framed and hurt her made her whole heart instantly replaced by hatred. Yuzhi's death is the knot in her heart. If she can't open it, she will not forgive herself for the rest of her life.
Reaching out and grabbing Suti's arm, gritting his teeth and saying, "You're right. I must cheer up." Whoever has harmed me to this point, I will definitely pay it back one by one in the future. So, now I have to get out of here first! Not only do I want to get out of here, but I also need to have supreme power as soon as possible!
Suti clapped her hand and showed a relieved smile. And Mo Ziyao's expression gradually cooled down. A voice sounded in her heart: "Xuefei, Yuzhi's life will be repaid with your blood!"
She knew that once she went out, she would face more than Xuefei. Hui Guifei and Yun Xianfei will also be their biggest enemies and stumbling stones. Moreover, Hui Guifei still has a grudge against herself. On that day, if she hadn't knocked herself down with a hidden weapon and made her fall down the hillside, nothing would have happened later.
And Yunxianfei, although she is not going to do it herself, she will not let her go easily. In the past, she secretly made so many troubles for herself and suffered so much. How could she not come back with interest?
As for Ruan Lingzheng, since he can do it so ruthlessly, he has nothing to estimate his feelings.
Seeing that Mo Ziyao's expression was constantly changing, Su Ti asked worriedly, "Sister Jinger, are you all right?"
Mo Ziyao shook her head slowly, "I'm fine. I'm just thinking about how to get out of here."
Suti pondered for a moment, and finally seemed to have made some kind of decision. He suddenly stood up and said, "I saw someone in this cold palace. Maybe she can help you get out."
Mo Ziyao looked at her in surprise. In addition to the three of them, Chen Shunyi and He Jing, who were beaten into the cold palace by Ruan Lingzheng for offending Xuefei a few days ago. Naturally, such a stupid person does not have the ability to help themselves, and the idea is eliminated in a flash. Is there anyone else? He couldn't help asking, "Who are you talking about?"
Suti did not answer immediately, but pulled her up and walked out. "You will know when you see it." After a few steps, she suddenly turned around with a smile and said to Mo Ziyao, "Maybe she can not only help you get out, but also defeat the empress dowager."
Su Ti's words made Mo Ziyao more and more surprised. Who is she talking about? A person suddenly popped up in my mind. Is it her?
The two walked along a winding path full of weeds for a while and saw a low and unrepaired house in a very remote corner.
Mo Ziyao is wondering why there are many attic rooms in the cold palace. Why does anyone live alone in such a remote and desolate corner? Thinking about it, Suti had stepped forward and reached out to push the door. Mo Ziyao clearly saw that the guard had rusted.
The door opened, and because there was no window in the room, it was very dark inside. A ray of light shone through the door, and the room gradually became clear.
When I walked in, I felt that the whole room smelled dead. This should be a hall. The things in the room were simple and messy, and it was a bleak scene.
"Xiaoying, Xiaoying..." Su Ti shouted a few times to the depths of the room.
After a while, she heard the sound of someone trotting out of the inner room. As she ran, she couldn't hide her excitement and asked, "Is Miss Su here? Miss Su, can you come to the imperial doctor? The Empress's illness is getting more and more serious..."
Su Ti was stunned for a moment, sighed, and shook his head gently.
The speaker has come out. Mo Ziyao just saw the person. The woman was not tall, combed with a bun, and wore a palace coat that could not see the original color clearly. When I approached, I saw that she was thin, pale and bloodless, and her lips were dry. At first glance, she was seriously deficient in nutrition.
When Xiaoying saw her shaking her head, her hopeful eyes suddenly dimmed and said with a wry smile, "It seems that the imperial concubine can't wait to see the emperor for the last time."
Mo Ziyao was shocked and strode to the inner room. Xiaoying saw that there were outsiders besides Su Ti. Then she realized it and cursed carelessly and shouted angrily, "Who are you? Stop!" He ran up and stopped Mo Ziyao and didn't let her enter the inner room.
Suti also followed and whispered, "Xiaoying, I'm sorry, I really can't find a doctor." With that, he looked at Mo Ziyao and said, "She is the emperor's favorite concubine, Yao, whom I once told you."
Xiaoying suffocated first, and then showed joy, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw in an instant. He quickly turned his eyes to Mo Ziyao. His eyes were full of tears in an instant. Suddenly, he knelt down in front of her and said, "Your Lady Yao, please, please save the imperial concubine!"
Mo Ziyao saw that the maidservant was so loyal, she couldn't help but think of several of her maidservants. She felt uncomfortable and quickly reached out to help her and said, "Let me see your imperial concubine first."
When I entered the door, I found that the light inside was even darker. Fortunately, candles are lit in the room and you can see the situation in the room.
I saw a man lying down and heard the footsteps, so I turned my head and looked this way and said, "Xiao Ying, is the emperor here?" Her voice was very weak, as if she could cut her breath at any time.
Xiaoyin stepped forward, took the hand of **'s hand, and said with a light smile, "Princess, it's Miss Su and the Noble Concubine Yao."
"Oh... it's not the emperor..." ** said slowly, with disappointment in his tone.
Mo Ziyao strode forward and saw the ** person's face through the candlelight. Although there were many speculations before, when she saw this familiar face, she was still stunned.
