Allure Ugly Concubine

Chapter 252 The Woman Locked in the Cold Palace
Lin Zijiang didn't expect that the Aunt Xue that Xiaoxuan was talking about... lived in Lenggong!
This peeling and mottled old vermilion lacquer gate seems to indicate the depression and dilapidation of the scene inside, and also reflects the fate of the people inside the gate!

Just looking outside makes one feel depressed, no wonder people in the palace regard this place as an ominous place, no one wants to set foot here!
"Boss, let's not go in! This is unlucky!" Xiao Lingzi frowned at the door and said.

But Lin Zijiang didn't seem to hear him, so he just pushed open the door and stepped in with Xiaoxuan.I don't know if it's from her heart, but when she pushed the door open, she really felt a chill rushing towards her face, no wonder she was called Leng Gong!
"Hey! Boss! Wait for the slave!" Seeing that he couldn't stop her, Xiao Lingzi had no choice but to follow her.

As soon as he stepped in, several figures immediately surrounded Lin Zijiang.Few people set foot here, let alone such a beautiful woman dressed so brightly.When those people saw her, their eyes immediately became unfriendly.

Lin Zijiang raised his eyes and looked over, only to see that the facial features of the women in front of him were quite correct, even their faces were sallow and their hair was messy.The clothes on his body were more or less stained with various stains, and they also faintly exuded an unpleasant smell.

"Go! They're all dirty! Don't rush us nobles!" Xiao Lingzi hurriedly stood in front of Lin Zijiang, waving his hands to drive the group of girls away.

Being chased away by Xiao Lingzi's yelling and cursing, the women immediately backed away with their heads in their hands, only daring to watch them secretly from a distance.

Lin Zijiang saw that some of the women were of good quality, so they must have had some status in the palace before.It turned out that after the emperor's woman was thrown into the cold palace, could even a little eunuch like Xiao Lingzi be bluffed?
Then, Xiao Lingzi quickly took out a handkerchief and covered Lin Zijiang's mouth and nose: "Boss, most of the people in the cold palace died of illness, you have to be careful!"

As if to echo his words, there were indeed several coughing sounds from the opposite room.

"Big sister... Aunt Xue!" As he said, Xiaoxuan had already pulled Lin Zijiang up and walked to the left.

After bypassing the houses in front, Lin Zijiang discovered that there was a small house behind.This room seems to be hiding here on purpose. If ordinary people come here, they will definitely not notice it.

When the closed door was opened, a stench came immediately.I can't tell what it smells like, I just feel that there is a musty and rotten smell in it, which is so unpleasant that people are about to suffocate.Although Xiao Lingzi covered his nose, he couldn't help retching twice, but seeing that Lin Zijiang's expression remained unchanged, he couldn't say anything more.

Xiaoxuan seemed to have gotten used to the smell inside, so he rushed in with the food box in his hand.

"Aunt Xue...has...something to eat!"

"Yeah..." An ugly and hoarse female voice came from the corner of the room.

The light in the room was very dark, Lin Zijiang got used to it for a while, only to find that there was a woman with disheveled hair leaning on the side where Xiaoxuan was squatting.The woman's filthy clothes couldn't see the original color, and her messy hair blocked her face. Only when she moved occasionally, she could see two flickering black eyes.

As soon as the man saw Lin Zijiang and Xiao Lingzi coming in, he immediately became nervous.The whole person retreated to the corner of the wall, shrank his legs, trembled uncontrollably, and made an incomprehensible 'Yah Yah' sound.

As she moved back, Lin Zijiang heard the sound of metal colliding.Upon closer inspection, she discovered that this person's hands and feet were actually chained.

"Big...sister, she is... a good person! Don't be afraid!" Xiaoxuan comforted the woman trembling in the corner by patting her.

Seeing how flustered she was, Lin Zijiang pulled Xiao Lingzi back a step, lowered his tone and said to the man: "I won't hurt you! Don't be afraid!"

The person squatting in the corner seemed to be hiding behind her withered hair and looked at Lin Zijiang for a while, and finally gradually stopped trembling.

Seeing this, Xiaoxuan took a piece of pastry from the food box and stuffed it into the man's mouth: "Eat...eat..."

"Xiao Lingzi, do you know her?" Lin Zijiang asked softly, turning his head.

"She is so dirty, who would know her!" Xiao Lingzi looked at the person with disgust, "But even though the clothes on her body are so dirty, the servant can still tell that it is the maid's regulation! "

Lin Zijiang continued to ask: "Is there such a punishment in the palace? What did the maid do wrong that she will be locked here?"

"No! Boss, this is the cold palace, and on the other side is the property of the concubine who made a mistake. The palace people make mistakes, and they are usually either punished to do hard labor or tortured. But this is not necessarily the case, many palaces have their own little rules. , it may be that this court lady has offended some powerful master, so she should be secretly punished here!"

Saying that, Xiao Lingzi looked at Lin Zijiang worriedly again: "Boss, everyone in this deep palace has their own fate, don't just look at her as a pity and want to fight against injustice! The masters of each palace have different situations. , the water inside is very deep, so don't go into it!"

"Understood!" Lin Zijiang nodded.Now she has a lot of troubles on her body, how can she have time to meddle in these nosy things!
But for some reason, she always felt a little weird!

At this time, the person in the corner was devouring the pastry that Xiaoxuan gave her, and it seemed that he must have been hungry for a long time.

However, it was Xiaoxuan who made Lin Zijiang feel relieved!It's not easy for this child to be so kind when he grows up in such an environment!It's much better than that rude and perverted bastard Chu Yue!Thinking of Chu Yue, Lin Zijiang couldn't help but gritted his teeth bitterly.

"Okay, boss! There's nothing to see here, it stinks to death! Let's go back quickly!" Xiao Lingzi said with a wrinkled face.If he stayed here any longer, he would really be suffocating.

"I don't want to go back! I'd rather stay here than go back and face that guy Chu Yue!" Lin Zijiang pouted.

But as soon as she said this, the person in the corner was shocked as if he had been hit by something, and then rushed towards Lin Zijiang with a 'Yahah'.The hoarse and unpleasant voice combined with the sound of the iron chain, coupled with the movement of the man's teeth and claws, made the man look like a ghost, which made people jump.

"Ah! Boss, be careful!" Xiao Lingzi screamed in fright.

However, Lin Zijiang had already taken a quick step back to avoid it, with a calm expression on his face.

The man wanted to continue to rush towards her, but the iron chain behind her made her stagger and fall to the ground.But she still didn't give up, and stretched out her hand vigorously, wanting to pull Lin Zijiang's skirt.

Xiao Lingzi calmed down, kicked the man away, and quickly protected Lin Zijiang behind him.

"Go away! It's so dirty! Don't touch our princess!"

Seeing that Lin Zijiang could not be caught, the man seemed very anxious.Struggling to look at her, he kept saying 'babbling'.

"Is she dumb?" Lin Zijiang saw that the woman's black hole-like eyes were looking at him sadly from under the messy hair, as if she wanted to say something.

Little Lingzi didn't know either, he was about to shake his head when he heard a voice coming from the door.

"She should have been made dumb! Ever since the servant and Xuan'er came here, she has been locked in this cold palace! The servant sees her pity, and occasionally helps her with the food. It's considered acquaintance! Although she can't speak, she has a very docile personality, and I don't know why she went crazy today!"

Turning around and seeing Yun Rong, Lin Zijiang slightly hooked his lips: "Have you made up your mind?"

Yun Rong nodded: "Princess, I have something to tell you!"
