palace heart

Chapter 94 Behind the Miscarriage Case (4)
"This kind of place is very filthy, the servant let the madman inside enter the room, so as not to scare the empress!" The hunchbacked eunuch turned and went in, and after a while, he turned and came out to meet Li Qianlan.

Li Qianlan picked up the clean place under his feet and walked in slowly. He saw many trees planted outside the cold palace, but inside there was only one old tree that had eaten away its heart. It's not peaceful, shouting, scolding, crying... came from all over the wing room, she followed the sound and looked around, and saw five old maids chasing two old women with fluttering white hair, throwing them Press and hold them one by one, and then escort them back to the room.

There were also three gray-haired old women sitting in front of the wing room, one of them had dull eyes and moved lips, not knowing what to say.One was stripped naked and was picking lice there, while the other was sitting on the toilet outside the door, crying and laughing for a while.

Looking at these old women, Li Qianlan can think of the boring and crazily aging Fengyue, but these are the abandoned concubines of Emperor Ying?
Li Qianlan continued to look around, and she found that the doors and windows of the wing room were dilapidated, and there were no decorations inside, as simple as a folk slum.

"These are all the concubines of the former emperor who were thrown into the cold palace. The emperor didn't deal with it after he ascended the throne. Let them fend for themselves here." The hunchbacked eunuch seemed to have eyes on the back of his head and could see through Li Qianlan's mind. While trotting forward, he revealed the identities of these old women.

The former emperor was temperamental by nature, and countless concubines were thrown into the cold palace, but when he came to Emperor Ying, Li Qianlan only heard of Lan Baolin.Li Qianlan looked at the concubines of the previous dynasty and thought, if they could achieve a good result, wouldn't they all be high-ranking empress dowagers who could compete with empress dowager Gao.

The hunchbacked eunuch led Li Qianlan to a doorless wing on the west side, stopped, turned around and said respectfully to Li Qianlan: "My lady, please wait a moment! This slave will call Lan Baolin out!"

The hunchbacked eunuch went in, screamed loudly, and after a while pulled out a woman with disheveled hair, drowsiness, and dirty, old and disheveled clothes.

"What's the noise, don't you know that this palace is resting and waiting to serve the emperor at night?" Lan Baolin broke free from the hunchbacked eunuch's hand, yelled wildly with disheveled hair, and turned back to the room with a yawn after the yelling.

At the same time, Li Qianlan looked at Lan Baolin, and saw that she was only in her early thirties. Although her hair was messy, there were still traces of smoothness, and it was not as dry and frizzy as the hair of other abandoned concubines. .

Moreover, although Lan Baolin's hair covered most of her face, Li Qianlan could still see her beautiful face at a glance. It was clean and rosy, and her eyes were clearly black and white, and there was no sign of madness. The signs of crucifixion formed an inharmonious contrast with the dilapidated clothes on her body.

Li Qianlan was puzzled, as if she had thought of something!
The hunchbacked eunuch saw Li Qianlan who frowned slightly and was thinking calmly, and saw Lan Baolin yawning with his head up. He couldn't help being angry, stretched his legs and kicked: "Don't kneel down to pay respects to Concubine Shu!"

Lan Baolin immediately fell to the ground, brushed her loose hair, not only didn't greet Li Qianlan, but got up quickly from the ground, spat at Li Qianlan, then turned to tear the hunchbacked eunuch, cursing: "Bastard!" Raised bastard, I think back when I was in glory, why didn’t I see you so fierce, bah~ I don’t know what concubine Shu is!”

The hunchbacked eunuch was old and short, and after being beaten twice by Lan Baolin, he fell to the ground, swearing but couldn't get up to resist.

Seeing that the hunchbacked eunuch was subdued, Lan Baolin rushed towards Li Qianlan with his backhand. Before she could reach out her hands, Chen Jinghua had already reached out and clasped her wrists: "Bold slave, you dare to be presumptuous in front of Concubine Shu. If you don't know it is good……"

"They're all from the palace, why bother to be aggressive." Li Qianlan waved her hand to stop Chen Jinghua's insults, but only stopped him from insulting, and didn't let him let go.

After Li Qianlan finished speaking, she stepped forward to hold Lan Baolin's hands, and looked at them carefully. These extremely well-maintained hands have fair complexion, neatly trimmed nails, and no trace of dirt can be seen between the fingers.

Li Qianlan put it down, looked at Lan Baolin and smiled meaningfully: "Lan Baolin has been imprisoned here for six years and has seen nothing of the world, but his face is still the same as before, not pale, and ruddy, and even his hands are well maintained. The palace is a little bit self-deprecating. What kind of life have you lived in these years, which can keep you unsullied and perfect, just like yesterday. This palace is also very curious, guessing your dilapidated body Under the clothes, there must be a clean and beautiful dress hidden."

Lan Baolin's face darkened suddenly, and he couldn't dodge in time. The tattered clothes had been torn by Chen Jinghua's hand and fell off to the ground.Lan Baolin couldn't hide it, revealing a clean silk dress inside.

Li Qianlan reached out her hand to touch the texture of the clothes. She smiled confidently and curiously: "An abandoned concubine who has fallen into the cold palace is not only well-maintained, but also wearing expensive silk clothes. The more curious Gong is, the more he wants to know about your experiences over the years. Come with Ben Gong and tell me a good story, and if the words are good, I can consider asking the emperor to come and pick you up."

She stayed in this place for six years. If it wasn't for some kind of concern in her heart, she would have been driven crazy. She never thought that she would meet the noble person who redeemed her, so when she heard it now, she looked stunned, Full of self-confidence: "Is this true?"

"Bold..."

Li Qianlan waved her hand to stop Chen Jinghua, smiled at Lan Baolin, and nodded: "I think Lan Baolin doesn't know that Concubine Wu has been defeated by Ben Gong, and she is currently being grounded in Yuan Palace. If you can impress Ben Gong , you will be able to leave here, and this place will become the end point of Concubine Wu."

After coming out of the cold palace, Li Qianlan fell into silence. She didn't say a word all the way, because she was shocked by the story of Lan Baolin and Hui Jieyu. Such a shady scene.

Li Qianlan was silent all the way, only listening to the sound of her dress rubbing against her feet, the "suosuo" was very deserted and desolate.

Suddenly, she was full of pity for Emperor Ying!

What about the king of a country?So what if you can play with the world under the palm of your hand?What if there are three thousand beauties in the harem?He didn't even have anyone he could really love!It's hard to find someone who truly loves him!

When she returned to the Jingyang Palace, the sky was already dark. She had just turned out of the Lin Meng corridor when she saw Qiu Yun standing in front of the Jingyang Palace from a distance, looking around anxiously.

Seeing her appear, Qiuyun paused, then ran up to her in a hurry, and said with a panicked expression: "Your Majesty, you are back. Just now Lin Shanggong came over and told you to go to Dexuan Hall after you come back. The Empress Dowager gives the empress dinner!"

Food?Why?Doesn't Empress Dowager Gao know that her current diet is being monitored by Doctor Meng?When she did this, was the weasel uneasy and kind to the chicken, or the Hongmen banquet had other intentions, Li Qianlan couldn't help becoming vigilant: "Don't panic! In this harem, whoever can't calm down will be at a disadvantage. You are like this, and so is this palace." in this way!"

Qiuyun rubbed his hands, a little worried: "This servant knows, but in the afternoon, after the empress went out, the Empress Dowager Gao invited Imperial Physician Meng over, and specifically asked her about the ingredients that the empress should not eat, and left Imperial Physician Meng directly in Germany. The evening meal is monitored in the Xuan Palace, empress..."

"It's such an honor for the empress dowager to give you a banquet. Looking around, how many people in this harem can get it, so there's no reason for me not to go!" Li Qianlan knew Qiu Yun's worry, so she interrupted Qiu Yun's words: "She blatantly gave you a banquet!" Banquet, Imperial Physician Meng is there again, she dares to do something, so if anyone has trouble tonight, nothing will happen to me, don't worry!"
