king's concubine

Chapter 1 Cellar Playing Dead
It was the cold and snowy winter, and the north wind made the bare branches creak, and the wind in a low-lying cellar could not stop beating the cold stones as hard as ice.

The cellar is not big, and there is only a narrow room when you go down the stone stairs. The room is made of cold stones, and the door is made of cold wooden pillars. There is a fist-sized gap between every two wooden pillars , people outside the door along the gap can clearly observe the situation inside.

And there were two women standing outside the door at the moment, one of them supported the other, who was obviously older, and glanced at the cellar, motionless, her huddled back swallowed her mouth and said cautiously: "Ma'am, how is she?" If you don't move, will you... die?"

The older woman was dressed in a gorgeous silk dress, she narrowed her eyes when she heard this, and said flatly: "It's fine if you die, so I don't have to deliver dog food every now and then."

The young woman was dressed in a maidservant's attire, and she looked disgusted when she touched the surrounding environment. She took a breath before she could speak steadily, "But her grandfather is the servant of Zhongshu, who is a dignified third-rank in the court. If he asks the master for someone, wouldn't it be..."

"So what if he comes to ask for someone? No one in this capital knows that the eldest lady of the Rong Mansion is suffering from a serious illness, but she is pale and gray-haired at the age of fifteen, and can't see people?" I saw her sneer in the side room, and then said: "The servant in the family is very powerful, and his wives and concubines are rich and prosperous. I am afraid that he has long forgotten that his deceased pro-daughter had a daughter. Besides, even if he remembers having this What about the granddaughter, a granddaughter who is neither human nor ghost, I am afraid that it will be too late for him to get rid of the relationship in a hurry!"

"Even so, the young master..."

"That's not a problem. I've been raising the bastard that bastard gave birth to for a few years. If it's really an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, I'll wring his neck sooner or later!"

"Ma'am, I have to explain to the master. Although the master has never considered this daughter, she is the daughter of the Rong family. If the outside world knows that the master does not care about the daughter, I am afraid it will damage the reputation. It’s been a long time since I’ve been looking forward to a fourth-rank Zheng, so I can’t give it up.”

Mrs. Rong pondered for a while, "You, open the lock and go in to have a look. If you don't succeed in death, you should spend an extra portion of dog food. If you die, bury her here."

"Ah?" The servant girl was a little hesitant, it's unlucky to touch someone dead.

Mrs. Rong glared at her angrily, "Hurry up!"

The maid gritted her silver teeth and opened the lock that hadn't been opened for so many years.But, strange to say, this lock has not been opened for a long time, and it should be rusty and difficult to open, but who knows that it will open as soon as the key is inserted.She felt bad luck, but she didn't dare to resist Madam's words, so she shrank her body and slowly approached the motionless body...

The fingertips were close to the nose, and it was cold. "Ah, ma'am, she, she's out of breath!"

Madam Rong frowned, "Did you investigate carefully?"

The servant girl didn't want to bring bad luck to the dead again, so she nodded sharply, "Be careful!"

Madam Rong pursed her lips, thought for a while and decided to go in and check it out herself, but after taking two steps, she found that curled up body moved, and the maid screamed, "Ghost, ghost—"

Mrs. Rong thought of something, she was furious, raised her palm and walked towards her quickly, "Okay, you damn girl, how dare you pretend to be dead for this lady, see if I don't beat you to death, you bitch!"
