There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 294

"You are the concubine Xian?" Dong Xianglan opened her eyes and looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.

I saw that this person was haggard, with a stooped figure, and her gray hair was covered with wind and frost, but her face did not look like a person in her twenties and thirties, but her eyes were empty and stiff, like a pool of stagnant water.

She doesn't look like a woman in her prime in her 30s or [-]s,
"Who... are you?" She seemed to be very afraid of light, and she quickly used her arms to block the dark light outside after the painted rich door opened.

Dong Xianglan looked at the gloomy weather outside in shock, and then at the woman who looked like she came out of the gutter, the expression on her face became more and more frightened.

"Today is cloudy, and you are so afraid of light."

"Are you Concubine Xian? Have you been locked up here for many years?"

The woman looked at the person in front of her with blank and empty eyes, and nodded numbly for a long time.

"Who are you? Why did you come to see me?" She looked very serious.

After a while, she suddenly laughed: "You are wearing the clothes of a female official, are you here to pass the decree, is the emperor begging to summon me? Are you willing to let the Meng family go?"

Dong Xianglan's eyes widened, and before she could react, the woman spoke proudly and arrogantly.

"That's right, I was originally the empress chosen by the emperor, but that bastard from the Tang family used some trick to get the emperor to marry me and take away my position as the concubine. I am actually the empress." Suddenly it lit up, his back straightened, and he even smoothed out the colorless clothes with his own hands.

"Let's go, I've already dressed up, take me to see the emperor..."

When Dong Xianglan came to her senses, she had already been taken out by Concubine Xian, she was startled and quickly took a step back, looking at Concubine Xian coldly.

"I'm not a female officer, let alone someone who came to pass orders, I'm..."

She looked around, gritted her teeth and dragged Concubine Xian into the palace, then stared at Concubine Xian again.

"It's no wonder that the side branch of your Meng family will find me, and it's no wonder that your Meng family hates the emperor so much." Who would have thought that such a big family would become the emperor's thorn in the side overnight and be dealt with completely.

How could they not hate, this is probably why they spent a lot of money to invite themselves to approach the emperor to avenge them.

"It's also fortunate that you met me, so stop pretending to be crazy." Dong Xianglan took off her black cloak, took out a delicate jade pendant from her sleeve, and passed it in front of Meng's eyes.

"Did you see clearly?"

Meng's eyes staring at the jade pendant became clear immediately, she lowered her head and pressed her lips tightly, and it took a long time before she sneered.

"How do you know I'm faking it?"

Dong Xianglan laughed instantly: "Haha, if you didn't pretend, who would your Meng family work for? What are they trying their best for?"

Concubine Xian stared at the jade pendant for a few more times, then sighed lightly.

"That's it!"

"It's good that I'm pretending to be crazy, but it's all for living. I'm like this, so why is it worth serving? I'm just waiting to die."

She was a little discouraged, a little unwilling, and a little bit resentful, but so what, the Meng family was gone, and only her relatives were left, so what hope could she have?
Dong Xianglan smiled brightly: "Your Majesty, don't say that, I'm here to give you hope?"

Originally, she didn't want to agree to the conditions proposed by the Meng family. Since she has a relationship with the emperor, why didn't she take the position herself?Why not be a concubine safely in the palace, maybe give birth to a prince and be a master for a lifetime.

It's a pity that the emperor never took her seriously, and he didn't even have any intention of accepting her. Instead, he assigned himself to Fengyang Palace and watched those maids clean the courtyard.

She worked so hard to get into the palace, but she didn't come to clean the courtyard, so, I'm sorry, the emperor, you gave up on me first.

"What do you mean?" Concubine Xian narrowed her eyes and looked at her suspiciously.

"Concubine Xian, do you want to take revenge? Or should I ask if you want to sit on this world?"

Concubine Xian was startled: "What do you mean, what do you mean by sitting on the world?"

Dong Xianglan smiled coldly, and whispered in his ear for a while, Concubine Xian's complexion went from white to blue to black, and after several cycles, she finally revealed a few traces of ferocity.

"You mean there are still people in our Meng family? They will help me avenge me behind my back?"

"good."

The two of them didn't speak any more, when suddenly heavy snow fell outside, Dong Xianglan opened the window and let the north wind carry large flakes of snow to fly in, the two of them were shivering but sober.

"Did you see it? The outside world is so cruel. If you don't fight, I won't fight. Even if we freeze to death in this dark night, no one cares."

Concubine Xian looked at Goose Feather Snow with cold eyes: "Of course I saw it. I've lived here for so many years without human beings or ghosts. What else do I not know and can't let go of?"

The man who once regarded her as a treasure has turned his attention to other women. They are loving and tender, but they put themselves in such a place to suffer.

It's over, it's all over.

……

A dark conspiracy is brewing in the cold palace, and the Jinhua Palace has also got wind.

"Empress, Miss Dong has gone to the cold palace, and it took a long time to come out!"

"What is she going to the Leng Palace for?" Tang Wanning didn't care at first, but when she thought that Meng Yuyao was still living in the Leng Palace, her face became vigilant.

"It's fine, who would go to see the cold palace, there must be no conspiracy?"

"Did they know each other before? Impossible." One was from the capital city and the other was from the south of the Yangtze River.

Wait, Jiangnan?Meng family?

While thinking wildly, Xia Houjue suddenly received an expedited [-]-mile letter from Jiangnan.

It is said that the emperor has sealed the imperial pen and will no longer review the papers as the Chinese New Year is approaching, but the expedited [-]-mile rush is often an exception.

Before the case, Xia Houjue opened the urgent letter, and after reading it for a moment, his face became gloomy.

"What's going on?" Tang Wanning put down her messy embroidery work with her stomach in her arms, and came to him.

"There seems to be a change in the south of the Yangtze River. There are many anti-poetry among those literati. It seems that someone is instigating and slandering behind the scenes."

Just when Tang Waning thought this was just the freedom of speech that the ancients liked to restrict?She suddenly caught a glimpse of an anti-poetry on the letter, and her expression changed drastically in fright.

"Openly slandering the court, this..."

Xia Houjue's face suddenly turned cold, and he narrowed his eyes and called a hidden guard beside him to come in.

"Come on, go to Jiangnan to thoroughly investigate this matter. Where is the source of these anti-poems? What is the purpose behind these organizers?"

It was snowing heavily outside, the hidden guard folded his fists and bowed his head, then quickly left.

Xia Houjue lit the letter on a candle and burned it to ashes, his eyes were colder than ever.
