Chapter 30 The Emperor has been childless for ten years (30)
  Concubine Xian, dressed in dirty palace clothes and with disheveled hair, walked to the door of the hall and looked at the door to see who was coming.

Nowadays, she looks so embarrassed that she doesn't look like a noble girl from a noble family, but like a refugee. That's not right. Her clothes are not something that a refugee can afford. At most, she looks better than a refugee.

The abandoned concubine was relegated to the cold palace, not because there was no one to take care of her, but because no one was willing to take care of her. If her personal maid comes along voluntarily, she can also serve her.

It's a pity that Ling'er, whom she trusted the most, was killed for helping her take the blame. The other maids had already run away, and it was better to find a better job than to stay in the cold palace. Anyway, the emperor did not say that everyone should go to the cold palace.

The Cold Palace is indeed a cold palace. The sun is shining brightly, and it is very cold here. It's like putting a lot of ice cubes in this hot weather. It doesn't relieve the heat, but is a bit eerie.

No one was clearing the weeds in the yard. Fortunately, there was a stone road, otherwise I wouldn't know where to go. It's not clear whether there are snakes and insects hidden in these weeds. After all, this place is backed by a mountain.

The woman in black robe stood on the stone road, seeming to dislike the desolation of this place. However, looking at the woman at the door of the palace, she could only move forward in disgust.

Concubine Xian crossed her arms and looked at the visitor calmly, "Is there anyone in this cold palace who comes to visit me? Who do you belong to? Please tell me your name."

"You have already reached such a situation, and you are still so arrogant? Are you not afraid that I am here for revenge?"

The concubines in the palace have all sinned more or less. After all, they have done this countless times by relying on their power to bully others. The only fun in this palace is this.

"A mere bastard wants to take revenge on me? Although I have been relegated to the cold palace, my father is not a vegetarian!"

Now she is just down and out, not dead. As long as her family survives, she still has a chance to make a comeback.

Unexpectedly, the woman seemed to have heard a big joke and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Are you still here dreaming about being favored again? The emperor has abandoned you. No matter how hard you struggle, you will only die of old age. Life in the cold palace!"

It may not necessarily be death from old age, but may also be death from illness, suicide, or various accidental deaths. Only death from old age is the least likely.

The chance is even smaller, that is, he left the cold palace.

"Shut up! You damn bastard, no matter what I do, I am better than a bastard like you! Someone, drag her out and behead her, behead her!" Concubine Xian did not dare to face this reality. , she was still thinking about the day when her father would appear in front of her and tell her with a smile that everything was settled.

Just like the year she entered the palace, her father had arranged everything, and she just had to follow the plan. In fact, this is the case. This road is very smooth and there are basically no setbacks.

But this time, she lost miserably.

"Xian Fei, there is no need to be so arrogant in front of me. Don't you know it yourself? You have no way to save yourself. The cold palace is your real destiny. You are so proud that you were defeated by a palace maid. How ridiculous ah."

The face hidden in the black scarf could not be seen clearly, but the laughter from her could be heard. As soon as the sound reached my ears, the words were like countless ants, biting densely on Concubine Xian's body.

That kind of unbearability, that kind of unwillingness, that kind of reluctance made her instantly feel like she was in an abyss, and would be swallowed up if she wasn't careful.

"How do you know this?" Concubine Xian calmed down. Those things that happened clearly happened in Fengwu Palace. The palace servants in Fengwu Palace were carefully selected and could not easily betray the queen. So how did this woman know that she was defeated by a palace maid?
  "My queen, you don't need to know this. Tell me everything you know. Maybe I can make your life in this cold palace better. For example, I won't let you eat those bad meals again."

"I thought you were so capable, but now you want to bribe me, but you are very arrogant!" Concubine Xian sneered, laughing at her overestimation of her abilities.

The woman in black robe was not annoyed, "I don't think you think I can help you get out of the cold palace, do you? I don't even know what mistakes you have made, so how can you get this favor? What's more, don't you want to take revenge and go back?" She's just a palace maid, you don't want her to continue to live happily, right?"

Her voice was very soft, and her whispering voice was like a spell, making people fall into it unconsciously. It seems that you can see the future from the words, and see the miserable ending of the palace maid.

Concubine Xian couldn't help but clenched her fists. She was naturally unwilling to give in. All her efforts were destroyed by a palace maid. How could she be willing to give in?
  But how could she be willing to be used by another cheap maid?

Seemingly sensing her hesitation, the woman in black robe sneered, "Do you have any other choice now? Is there anyone who can help you?"

"That's enough, I tell you everything!"

In the court hall, Chu Jin looked at the noisy ministers below and couldn't help but put her hand on her forehead. In fact, there haven't been any major events in recent years. They are basically all issues related to the imperial examination and some minor private matters.

With the country and the people in peace, his workload is not very large, but he has to deal with some trivial things every day. For example, Yushitai often impeaches certain officials. After he has verified them, he will punish those who deserve to be punished, beat those who deserve to be beaten, and demote those who deserve to be demoted.

In addition, every month these ministers have to sort out some performance for him to deal with. Some local officials can be promoted after a certain period of time or after achieving outstanding results.

Some ministers are quite funny. When there is nothing to report, they have to suppress something. This includes, but is not limited to, a minister taking a brush from his home, or a minister's grandson being disobedient and picking his family's precious chrysanthemums, etc.

He not only has to deal with major national affairs, but also these trivial matters.

But this is good, at least it means that his country is peaceful and not disturbed by war. If the country is peaceful and the people are safe, there will be no problem in handling these small matters.

After hearing that the people below finally calmed down, he knew that it was almost time to enter the next stage, so he raised his head and glanced at Ming Fu.

Mingfu understood and said, "If there is no problem, we will retreat from the court!"

The next second, an old man with a gray beard stepped forward and said, "I have something to report!"

"Say it." Chu Jin resisted the urge to leave, and sat on the dragon chair with a fake smile, quietly waiting for the next step.

"Your Majesty, just as a country cannot be without a master for a day, it cannot be without a prince for a day! The prince is related to the survival of the Chu family. I hope the emperor will think twice!"
