Years of drama and become a concubine

Chapter 116 The Shocking Truth ([-])

Lan'er thought that this trip was to raise her eyebrows, and happened to save Nalan Rong, so she should be grateful to Dade, but unexpectedly, Nalan Rong's face was cold and unappreciative, and she couldn't help saying angrily: " I said I shouldn't go, right? We saved her life, and we didn't have a good word to say, so we just want to put our hot face on her cold ass!"

"How did you talk!" Han Dong nudged her and reminded her in a low voice.

Lan'er lowered her eyes, pouted and said: "This servant made a slip of the tongue, please punish me."

Qing Ge said sternly: "Lan'er, you have become more and more shameless recently. I treat you as sisters, but when outsiders are around, you should save some face for me. If you leave someone with something to say, you must say that you are disobedient and procrastinate." How can I protect you from the Punishment Division?!"

"Lan'er knew it was wrong." Lan'er sniffed, "I really knew it was wrong."

Qing Ge calmed down, and stretched out her hand to touch Lan'er's hand. The place where it was touched was icy cold, she quickly held it and said, "Put your hand in your sleeve and cover it for a while, Han Dong will replace it."

Hearing this, Han Dong came over to support Qing Ge and replaced Lan Er. Lan Er breathed hot air into her hands, rubbed her frozen red hands from time to time, and smiled obediently: "Thank you, empress! Thank you Handong!"

Qing Ge smiled: "You are too hot-tempered! This time we went to Lenggong to deliver dumplings. It was a waste of time... Fortunately, we have gained a lot. Since someone wants her life, it seems that there are still some things that have not been dug out. As long as we follow this It's very simple to touch the root vine."

Lan'er heard the words, although she half understood and half didn't understand, but in the end she was in a good mood, so she talked and laughed and went back to Qingyin Hall to prepare lunch.

There was no festive atmosphere in the Prayer Orchid Hall, Qiu Zhenzhen was wearing a satin dress and a fox cloak, pacing around the room, looking restless.But after a while, Han Xiang walked into the hall quickly with a dignified expression, looked around for a while, and closed the door after seeing no one followed.Seeing her coming back, Qiu Zhen Zhen showed joy on her face, caressing her heart and said: "Finally I'm back, but I'm so anxious, how is it?"

Han Xiang paused, then slowly shook her head: "It didn't work."

"It didn't work?" Qiu Zhenzhen's voice suddenly increased, her eyebrows were raised, and she couldn't believe it, "In the cold palace, there is a girl who hasn't made it yet? Could it be that the person you are looking for is someone who can't lift his hands or carry it on his shoulders?" The good-for-nothing?"

Han Xiang knelt down on the ground, her face flushed red, and she said in a crying voice: "Of course I know the seriousness of the matter, and I have found a reliable person, but...but...for some reason, the people in Qingyin Palace are broken. thing!"

"From the Voiceless Palace?" Qiu Zhenzhen's face was pale, and her gentle eyes were now full of horror, "Why did they go to the Leng Palace? They didn't find anything, did they?"

"Yan Qingge took two maidservants to visit the empress in the cold palace. The two people who were always incompatible, didn't know what kind of drama Yan Qingge was singing, but they happened to run into her, so they didn't succeed. There was no way of knowing what they said later. I see, I don’t know if the Empress has said anything or not, and how much she has said.” Han Xiang was worried and scared, “My Lady, if something really happens, will you keep the servant?”

Qiu Zhenzhen was confused, waved her hand absently, and said impatiently: "My life is hard to say now, how can I protect you? The mud bodhisattva can't protect himself when he crosses the river!"

Han Xiang was like a slap in the face, she froze on the spot, feeling precarious, the knife hanging on her neck was about to come down at any moment.The two were silent for a long while before Qiu Zhenzhen came back to her senses. She asked Han Xiang to get up, supported her arm and said, "My good sister! Now that things are up to now, we can't do it by ourselves. You go out of the palace and go to Find dad, tell him everything, let him help you think of a way, even if the situation is irreversible, just hope that we can save our lives after the matter is revealed!"

Han Xiang is now a grasshopper tied to the same boat as her, and saving her is saving herself. After hearing this, she nodded and said, "Your maidservant will leave the palace now and go to Prime Minister Qiu. Now, there must be a way to keep the empress safe."

Qiu Zhenzhen sent Hanxiang out the door, told her to go early and return early, and then turned around and sat down. For some reason, she already had a sense of despair that the building was about to collapse, and she was overwhelmed by this feeling Even though I sat in front of the brazier wearing a big cloak, I still felt chills all over my body and thorns on my back.Now she can only hope for the blessing of the Buddha, that woman Nalan Rong didn't say anything, after all, she has no good fruit to eat!

She didn't care about lunch, so she barely used some melons and fruits. She thought Han Xiang would be back in the afternoon, but she didn't turn back until dinner.She became more and more anxious, comforting herself that Hanxiang might have been delayed by something, but then she thought that if she was delayed, she would have to ask someone to bring a letter back, so it was really strange to suddenly disappear without a trace and no news.Until midnight, there was no sign of Han Xiang, Qiu Zhenzhen really panicked, restless, half leaning on the bed with cold hands and feet, gasping in a daze, the temperature dropped a little, she poked her head slightly to see Looking out of the dark window, it seemed that snow had fallen, and it was foggy, so she couldn't see clearly. She widened her eyes slightly, and suddenly saw a white figure passing by outside the window!
Her heart stopped for half a beat, and when she looked carefully again, it was still foggy and she couldn't see anything.Suspecting that her eyes were dazzled, she closed her eyes to calm her mind, but after a while, she heard rustling sounds, getting closer and closer, and she felt that her blood was congealed, so she couldn't help opening her eyes suddenly, and the sight that caught her eyes It turned out to be a little maid with disheveled hair and wearing a palace gown. Her hair was all glued to her face, and her face was not visible. Her embroidered shoes were dripping wet, and water stains appeared every step of the way. Her hair went up and down. Dripping water, tick, tick, tick, it is particularly harsh in the quiet night.

Qiu Zhenzhen couldn't believe it, her eyes widened, she hugged the quilt and moved to the depths of the bed, tremblingly said: "You...you are..."

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, the window squeaked open, and the candles were extinguished, only the faint light and the white snow came in from outside, Qiu Zhenzhen felt like her heart was going to explode, and she could only watch helplessly. The ghostly thing was getting closer and closer, and she leaned forward and put her hands on the edge of the bed. She closed her eyes and let out a cry of surprise. The first thing she thought of and called out in her panic was Han Xiang's name.However, after shouting a few times but no answer, she remembered that Hanxiang had not come back from the palace. Just when she lost her mind, she suddenly heard someone call "Mother"...

"Hanxiang?!" Qiu Zhenzhen opened her eyes in surprise, the maid who was drenched just now had disappeared, and only saw a shadow who looked very much like Hanxiang standing by the door with her hands hanging down. Turning her head upwards and looking at her from a distance, Qiu Zhenzhen couldn't see her face clearly, but she could see the whites of her eyes clearly. Her appearance made Qiu Zhenzhen terribly scared.

Qiu Zhenzhen hurriedly shouted: "Why did you come back? Are you tired or something? What are you doing so nicely? Let me tell you, I seemed to see Shuang'er's ghost just now, and it scared me to death... Okay, you're back..." She said so much in one breath, but found that Hanxiang didn't interrupt or answer, she froze for a moment, staring at Hanxiang as if staring at a stranger, after a while, Hanxiang Xiang suddenly laughed in a low voice, the laughter was particularly strange in the empty, dark room: "Mother... I am the same as Shuang'er..."
