When she heard that Su Yan'er was going to visit Sophie in the cold palace, the maid next to her immediately said: "Miss, it's so late at night, let's go tomorrow."

This is her personal maid, named Qingcao.

Su Yan'er sighed and said: "Today is my first day in the palace, so I should go and see my sister."

This shows that she values ​​love and justice, knows etiquette and observes etiquette.

What's more, there are hints from the emperor.

The eunuchs knew that the mistress was favored, so they naturally had no complaints and sent her to the cold palace.

The cold palace is inherently gloomy and filled with innocent souls, and it is especially spooky and terrifying at night.

Su Yan'er shuddered and gathered her cloak.

The little eunuch carried a lantern and walked in front, bowing, "Empress Su, Concubine Hui has a strange disease and is contagious. The emperor asked her to live in a separate courtyard and sent someone to look after her."

In fact, the emperor felt that Sophie was old and strange, so he imprisoned her first in Ganquan Palace and then in the Cold Palace to avoid causing panic in the palace.

"Miss, let's not go in, right? It won't be good if we get over the illness." Qingcao was a little worried and looked at the gloomy and terrifying palace around him with fear.

Suddenly, an owl hooted from the eaves.

At this time, Su Yaner was also trembling with fright.

But I still had to bite the bullet and let Qingcao knock on the door.

Qingcao glanced erratically in the direction of the owl's hoot, and boldly knocked on the door.

The door creaked open, and an old eunuch with white hair stuck his head out and asked in a rough and high-pitched voice: "Who called the door late at night?"

The old eunuch's unique voice was particularly terrifying in this gloomy environment.

"Bold!" The eunuch who followed Su Yan'er immediately stepped forward and said arrogantly: "This is the new concubine Su who has just entered the palace. Why don't you kneel down to salute?!"

The old eunuch looked confused, tilted his ears and said loudly: "What? Give a gift?"

Obviously, this person is deaf.

Su Yan'er didn't want to waste time, so she waved her hand, "That's it, stop him, I'll go in and see my sister!"

"Hey..." The old eunuch guarding the door wanted to stop him, but was held down by the two eunuchs following Sophie.

The rest of the guards had secretly received the emperor's order and did not come out to stop him.

Su Yaner boldly stepped into the cold palace, holding Qingcao's hand tightly and trying to stay calm.

Qingcao was more scared than Su Yaner, and her hand holding the lantern was shaking.

The group of people walked through the weed-covered Lenggong courtyard and walked to the door of the house, where they startled the birds nesting under the eaves.

There was a burst of "Puff..." that made everyone stiffen, and the roots of their hair exploded.

Green Grass trembled as he pushed open the door, and a stinky smell rushed towards him.

Through the dim light of the lantern, you can see a thin and hunched figure huddled in the straw pile on the ground.

Su Yan'er raised her hand slightly, leaving all the followers outside the door, and she walked into the house with Qingcao.

Su Yaner signaled Qingcao to close the door. Although Qingcao was scared, she still obeyed her master's order.

Su Yan'er walked up to that person and whispered: "Sister Sophie?"

Sophie stiffened, as if she thought she was hearing something.

"Sister Sophie?" Su Yaner took the lantern in Qingcao's hand and moved closer to Sophie.

This sight really shocked me.

I saw that Sophie was already very old, her face was full of wrinkles, and although her hair was dirty, it could be seen that it was all white.

This man looks to be in his eighties.

Su Yan'er suspected that she had recognized the wrong person for a moment, and then hesitantly called out: "Sister Sophie?"

Sophie was now sure that she was not dreaming. She sat up immediately, her cloudy eyes sparkled, and said in disbelief: "Yan'er?"

Su Yan'er was now sure that this person was really Sophie, and she also knew the hidden meaning of the emperor's words.

A flash of disgust flashed in her eyes, she took a step back, frowned and said, "Why is sister Sophie like this?"

Sophie's expression suddenly changed from disbelief to ecstasy. She threw herself at Su Yan'er's feet and tried to grab her skirt, "Yan'er, you came to save me, didn't you?"

Su Yan'er shrank back in disgust, causing her to jump away.

Sophie didn't care and said eagerly: "Take me out quickly and find a man for me. Man, I want a man!"

Su Yan'er sneered and gave Qing Cao a look.

Qingcao is her personal slave, and you can understand what Su Yaner means by looking at her eyes.

He straightened his back and showed a fierce look in his eyes. At this time, he no longer acted like a timid mouse in the yard.

Qingcao walked over quickly, bent down and picked up the tattered quilt on the side, and covered Sophie's head.

"Ugh!" Sophie thought that the family members were coming to save her, but she didn't expect this to happen, so she struggled hard at the moment.

But she was old and weak after all. After struggling for a while, she stretched out her legs and stopped moving.

Qingcao persisted for a while, then pulled away the quilt, tested Sophie's breath with her fingers, and said, "It's so clear."

At this time, a gust of wind blew in from the broken window, frightening the green grass to tremble.

Some people are like this. They are not afraid of killing or harming others, but they are afraid of ghosts and gods.

No one cares about the life and death of a prisoner in the cold palace. Sophie died like this, at the hands of her concubine sister.

The emperor was concerned about the power and possessions of the Su family and did not kill Sophie. Now that Su Yan'er is here, it is most appropriate to let the Su family clean up the family on their own.

The news of Sophie's death was known to many people in the palace early. It was not that they valued Sophie, but they were paying attention to Su Yan'er's movements.

The queen sat on the main seat and looked down at Su Yan'er who was kneeling on the ground to greet her.

There was a gentle and virtuous smile on her face, and there was no expression in her cold eyes, "Get up. Concubine Su is tired from the journey. It must have been very hard for her to serve the emperor last night, so she'd better not kneel down."

"Thank you, Queen Mother. It is my blessing to be able to serve the Emperor. I dare not say it lightly." Su Yaner responded to the situation with ease, neither humble nor overbearing.

Li Lanxin stroked her belly, which was not yet showing her pregnancy, and a coldness flashed in her eyes.

She was promoted to the concubine position only after she was pregnant with a child, but this concubine of the Su family actually made her a concubine as soon as she entered the palace!

Not only Li Lanxin thought so, but the other concubines who came to pay their respects to the queen also thought so.

The queen was obviously not interested. She chatted with the concubines for a few words and then asked them to leave.

The queen has been very depressed recently. The emperor was almost unable to hold on anymore, but he is getting better day by day.

She was very upset that she was cowardly, so she should have used more poison.

It was also my fault that I didn't think carefully, and I didn't expect that the emperor would send someone to secretly respond to the delegation from the Su family in Beiling, and first bring back the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus and Thousand-Year Cynomorium.

This wasn't what made her angry the most. The most hateful thing was that just this morning, Ruhua escaped!

If I had known earlier, I should have tied him with an iron chain!

If he is caught by someone who is interested, then her own life may not be safe, let alone her position as queen.
