Volume Four: The Blue Butterfly Chapter 205: Madness and Sorrow in the Cold Palace
The moment the voice spread, the old woman suddenly rushed towards Gongsun Shengxue.
This is just an ordinary old man who is half-depressed in the cold palace and cannot find relief. Although her attack is fierce, it is nothing in front of Gongsun Shengxue.
Gongsun Shengxue got out of the way of the old woman, and just at this moment, a middle-aged woman came out from behind: "Madam, Madam, please come back, Your Majesty is not here! Your Majesty passed away many years ago!"
This is obviously the palace maid who was demoted as a concubine in the cold palace. Listening to her words and looking at her appearance, she is obviously a figure from Chen Junmo's father's generation.
When the middle-aged woman saw Gongsun Shengxue, she was suddenly stunned and asked, "Who are you?"
Gongsun Shengxue did not answer. At this time, the old woman looked at Gongsun Shengxue carefully: "You are so beautiful. When I was young, I was as good-looking as you!"
For a moment, Gongsun Shengxue didn't know what to say. Half of the women in the world hoped to enter the palace and become the emperor's concubines, so that they could fly up the branches and become phoenixes.
But the palace has three palaces and six courtyards. Even if you are selected in the draft and enter the palace, you may not actually be able to see the emperor.
This is still a good thing. If you make a mistake and are thrown into the cold palace, the bitterness of the scene in front of you will be really sad.
Gongsun Shengxue has always been an extremely independent person. She never envies anyone, she just does her best.
But when I saw such a scene today, I couldn't help but feel sad.
"You are so beautiful, so beautiful. I know it. It must be you, a bitch, who seduced His Majesty. That's why Your Majesty doesn't want to see me. I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you..."
···”
The old woman went completely crazy, her eyes were blood red, and there was an indescribable aura of violence on her body. She saved several times in a row, but she didn't even touch the corner of Gongsun Shengxue's clothes.
There was a big commotion, and at this time, all the concubines who were locked in the cold palace came out.
Among them, more than half were lunatics, and they all rushed towards Gongsun Shengxue.
Gongsun Shengxue didn't want to hurt them, but he also didn't want to be entangled by them. He gathered strength in his palms and pressed lightly into the void.
In an instant, these crazy concubines were suddenly shaken and flew backwards, making way for them.
Gongsun Shengxue ducked away and went deep into the cold palace.
The resentment gathered here is much stronger than that in an ordinary prison cell. It is not difficult for ghosts to breed.
However, this is a palace, and naturally there is luck to suppress it. In this way, even if there are any real ghosts, under normal circumstances, they will be instantly wiped out.
But there are no absolutes in the world, and Na Mei was the one who fled here just now, so Gongsun Shengxue naturally wanted to take a closer look.
As expected of a cold palace, the further he walked toward Hemian, the darker the energy became. Gongsun Shengxue would touch his sleeves from time to time to disperse the strong resentment.
When we arrived at the uninhabited abandoned house at the back, we were basically at the end of the cold palace.
But Gongsun Shengxue still couldn't find any aura about the charm just now.
At this moment, a sharp look flashed in Gongsun Shengxue's eyes. She turned around and the long sword in her hand lit up.
Then there was a woman's scream, and Gongsun Shengxue saw clearly that this person was the middle-aged woman who ran out just now. What was she doing here?
"Who are you? Why are you here in this cold palace?" the middle-aged woman asked.
The light of the sword in Gongsun Shengxue's hand dimmed and he asked: "Who are you?"
"Lin Xia, a slave, has lived in this cold palace for twenty years!" said the middle-aged woman.
"Twenty years is indeed a long time. Is that old woman just now the late emperor's concubine?" Gongsun Shengxue asked.
Lin Xia nodded: "Yes, he was the late emperor's favorite concubine. Later, he made a mistake and was demoted to the cold palace. Twenty years have passed in a flash!"
"The people in the cold palace seem a little crazy!" Gongsun Shengxue said.
Lin Xia said: "Which of these empresses was not like a flower and was favored by thousands of people in the past? Now she has ended up like this, and the girl is as beautiful as a fairy. If she is not crazy, it would be strange. She has been locked up in this place for decades and eaten.
If they don’t have enough to eat and don’t have warm clothes, what do you think they can do?”
"Could it be that he hopes that one day he can be pardoned and return to his former peak?" Gongsun Shengxue said.
Lin Xia nodded: "Although this is unrealistic, it is the reason and hope for all the concubines here to live. When we have nothing to do, everyone sits together and when they are conscious, who is not talking about how beautiful they were back then?
"
"They have some of the late emperor's concubines, and they probably don't even know that the late emperor has been gone for twenty years!" Gongsun Shengxue said.
Lin Xia sighed and nodded, obviously Gongsun Shengxue was right.
"What mistake did Concubine Shu make back then to be demoted?" Gongsun Shengxue asked.
"This involves a lot. I really dare not say who the girl is and why she is here?" Lin Xia asked Gongsun Shengxue's identity again.
Gongsun Shengxue said: "I came in to handle the case. You haven't heard about what happened in the palace recently, right?"
"We are in the cold palace here, and we don't have the chance to go out. What can we hear?" Lin Xia said.
Gongsun Shengxue glanced at Lin Xia. Lin Xia couldn't bear the sharp gaze and lowered her head.
When Lin Xia raised her head again, Gongsun Shengxue had disappeared. At this time, the old concubine Shu was roaring again.
After coming out of Leng Palace, Gongsun Shengxue took another look at the palace. It was really strange that the ghost had clearly come here, but disappeared without a trace.
But at the moment, he didn't have any clue. He was afraid that something might happen to the queen, so Gongsun Shengxue hurried back.
Hang Tianyi and three others were guarding outside the palace gate. When they saw Gongsun Shengxue coming back, they stepped forward. Li Chunlai asked, "Boss, have you caught the ghost?"
"No, he disappeared suddenly after chasing him to Leng Gong!" Gongsun Shengxue did not hide anything. She knew that Hang Tianyi and the other three were working as detectives in Kyoto Prefecture and were good at handling cases. Maybe they would see something.
"There is a problem in Leng Palace!" Zhang Chenyu said.
"I went in to check, and found nothing!" Gongsun Shengxue recalled the crazy concubines in the letter, and for a moment he secretly sighed.
Zhang Chenyu said: "Since he disappeared for no reason in the cold palace, the question is not that he is in the cold palace, where could it be?"
"Twelve, are you suspicious of the commander?" When Li Chun came, he felt a little needy.
"I..." Zhang Chenyu was speechless for a moment. Li Chunlai's words were a bit unreasonable.
Hang Tianyi looked at the sky and said, "It will be dawn in less than an hour, and it's time to leave the palace!"
Gongsun Shengxue nodded. After she went in to report to the Queen, she came out and took Hang Tianyi and three others out of the palace together.
After a busy night, Hang Tianyi had to go back to Liu's house. After all, he went home last night.
In the Liu family, he knew Liu Ying's identity, and Liu Ying also knew his identity, but others didn't know it, so it couldn't be exposed.
