The Cold Palace has always been used to imprison concubines who made mistakes. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, countless beauties have died here, and every one of them is a lonely and sad soul.
After the emperor ascended the throne, he treated the harem more generously, so no one lived in the cold palace for a long time, and no one came to clean it.
The head chamberlain carefully opened the door of the cold palace, and a cold wind came to his face, with a biting chill.
The weeds in the yard were already as tall as half a person, and under the dim moonlight, the mottled tree shadows became a bit cold and eerie.
Concubine Liu walked into the main hall of Leng Palace. When she opened the door, dust fell and her eyes were blinded.
She looked around, and in every dark corner, there seemed to be a special power that could swallow her up.
Concubine Liu felt a little guilty. She took a deep breath, caressed her chest and murmured, "Why doesn't he come?"
The head chamberlain walked to the door and looked around. He was a little anxious, but he still comforted him: "This is a deep palace garden after all. It is not easy for the Tutor to come here after dark. There are many guards outside. Don't worry.
, let’s wait.”
After saying that, the head chamberlain walked aside, took out his handkerchief and wiped the tables and chairs. "My dear concubine, please sit down and rest for a while."
Concubine Liu Guifei sat down with deep thoughts.
Time passed little by little, and there was silence all around. Concubine Liu clenched her fists nervously from time to time.
Vaguely, she felt something was wrong, and a thought flashed through her mind.
"Let's go, go back immediately."
The head chamberlain didn't know why, but when he saw Concubine Liu striding out, he hurriedly followed her footsteps.
The two walked to the door, only to find that the door was locked and could not be opened at all.
Concubine Liu was shocked and immediately panicked.
"Sure enough, I fell into a trap."
On the other side, Taifu Sun kept pacing back and forth in the study room, feeling uneasy.
He received a letter from the palace, and Concubine Liu asked him to meet in the cold palace tonight.
Taifu Sun had been crawling around in the court for so many years, and he could tell at a glance that someone was setting a trap to harm him.
Therefore, he never planned to keep the appointment.
However, he could not accurately know the situation on Concubine Liu's side. If she went, he didn't know what kind of situation would be waiting for her.
He could only pray secretly that Concubine Liu would be able to return to the palace without waiting for him.
"who?"
From the corner of his eye, Taifu Sun saw a slender figure standing there. He broke into a cold sweat and subconsciously took a few steps back.
When did this person stand there?
It was so quiet and terrible.
"Taifu Sun is indeed a smart man. I originally thought that I was going to the cold palace to find you." The voice of the man in black was cold, as if coming from an ice cellar, empty and hollow, making people fearful.
Taifu Sun snorted coldly. "I stopped playing with such trivial skills more than ten years ago. Are you very disappointed?"
The man in black shook his head.
All this was within their expectations.
"I will be really disappointed if you go to the appointment." The man in black changed the topic and said, "However, Concubine Liu is not as smart as you. Master Sun, she is still staying in the cold palace."
Taifu Sun's heart sank, but he still remained calm.
"Concubine Liu? Where is she and what does she have to do with me?"
"Is it really okay?" The man in black refused to accept this, "I can tell you first, if I don't get what I want after half an hour, then Concubine Liu Guifei, who is trapped in the cold palace...
I’m afraid it will be very troublesome.”
Taifu Sun did not speak, his mind was spinning rapidly.
His eyes met the man in black, and there was a feeling of déjà vu.
"For example, I can throw a few young and strong guards into the cold palace and give them some medicine. Concubine Liu Guifei is very beautiful and charming... Then, I can notify the emperor to go to the rescue. In this way..."
Taifu Sun's fists were clenched, and a fierce and angry light flashed in his eyes.
"Despicable!" Taifu Sun's voice trembled angrily, "Do you think I will be afraid of you? I will let you be buried with you first."
After saying that, Taifu Sun was about to call for someone.
"Well……"
Taifu Sun only felt a figure passing by in front of him, and his throat was pinched tightly by several fingers. Just when he was about to suffocate, the man in black relaxed his grip.
"If you want to call someone, I will give you a chance. However, you will definitely die before me. But on the road to hell, maybe you will be grateful to me. I will take your sweetheart with me to hell."
The man in black's deep eyes turned cold, and this look finally made Sun Taifu compromise.
He can die calmly without being threatened, then...
What should she do if she is trapped in the cold palace?
"what do you want?"
The man in black let go of Taifu Sun and said bluntly: "I want the evidence of the salt and iron transfer envoy and the list of officials involved in the case with him."
Taifu Sun's expression softened.
"Oh I got it."
He immediately understood that the other party was from Prince Xiao Yujue.
"Okay, I'll give it to you."
Taifu Sun walked to the bookshelf, took out a box from the secret compartment in front of the man in black, and took out the evidence and list inside.
The man in black flipped through it and closed the box after making sure it was correct.
"I know that Mr. Sun has a photographic memory. Since you have read the list, you will remember who they are. If anything happens to the people on the list, then... this sad and lingering love story between you and Concubine Liu will...
Spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital."
"Are you threatening me?" Taifu Sun's expression changed suddenly, and his vicissitudes of life was covered with murderous intent. "If you really have evidence, go and accuse us in front of the emperor."
"There is no evidence, but..." the man in black chuckled, "people's words are scary, Taifu Sun should understand."
As soon as the man in black finished speaking, he jumped out of the window and left.
Taifu Sun watched him leave helplessly, not daring to alert the patrolling guards in the mansion.
He clenched his fist and hit the desk hard, gritting his teeth in hatred.
The man in black climbed over the wall and left the Taifu's Mansion, using Qinggong to gallop along the way, and unknowingly arrived at the gate of the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He slowly took off his black mask and looked at the high wall in a daze.
At this time, is Shangguan Wan Ning asleep?
The reason why the plan went so smoothly was because everything was planned and arranged by Shangguan Wan Ning. He did not expect that Shangguan Wan Ning, who had been cared for and cared for since childhood, would have such a scheming mind.
I don't know why, but at this moment, Mu Jingrui really wanted to see Shangguan Wan Ning.
perhaps……
He was about to climb over the wall and enter when suddenly, Shangguan Wan Ning's clear eyes appeared in his mind. He gave up the idea in an instant.
Even if they are still engaged, they are not officially married yet. Him sneaking into her boudoir late at night will only tarnish her reputation.
Mu Jingrui breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around and left.
