She looked carefully at the person in front of her. Is this herself? Meng Xinzhu couldn't help but touch her face and was stunned. She could actually meet a woman with exactly the same facial features as herself here. Although she looked very similar, this woman
She is obviously a person who has been ill for a long time. Her cheeks are thin, her skin is sallow and lackluster, and she smells like medicine. When I carried her just now, I felt that she was too light. I guess the illness has consumed too much of her energy. "Can you tell me,
Who are you?"
The woman stared at Meng Xinzhu for a long time and said, "I am Concubine Zhu."
Bamboo Concubine? She is a concubine. Will this be a palace or a palace? Meng Xinzhu sat opposite her, "Where is this?"
The woman couldn't help but be stunned, "This is the palace, don't you know?"
It turned out that it was really the palace, and she had actually gone from modern society to ancient times, and even arrived in the palace. Meng Xinzhu was in a daze again. She was too easily dazed today.
The woman grabbed Meng Xinzhu's hand, "Who are you? Which palace are you from? How did you get here?"
Meng Xinzhu looked at the woman again, "I don't belong to any palace. Strictly speaking, I shouldn't belong here either. As for how I got here, I don't know."
The woman's eyes suddenly glowed, "I know that God must have heard my prayer and gave you to me."
"What?"
"I prayed to God to save Ru'er and the others, and you showed up. I think God must have sent you to save us."
Meng Xinzhu was confused. Who is Ru'er? Who are they? "What happened?"
"I believe you can see that I am a patient, right?" Meng Xinzhu nodded, and the woman continued, "I am not only a patient, but also a person who is about to die. I have been much better in the past two days. I can get out of bed and walk around.
, it seems that the disease is cured, but I know that this is just a flashback, and I know that my time is running out. In fact, I am a person who should have died long ago, but I have always been reluctant to let go of them, so I have persisted until now. Now I have come to the end.
.It doesn’t matter if I die, but it will harm Ru’er and the others.”
"Harm them? Why?"
The woman looked at her in surprise, "The rules of the harem of this dynasty are that if the concubine is gone and there are no heirs, the people who usually serve her will be buried with her."
"What? How can there be such a rule!"
"Since I entered the palace, I have been served by the three of them. They have suffered a lot with me on weekdays. But now, I am about to leave, but I can't do anything to help them. How can I feel at ease? So,
I have been praying to God to save them."
"What does this have to do with me..." Meng Xinzhu suddenly stopped. She suddenly understood what the woman meant.
"You understand." A smile appeared on the woman's pale face, "This is a good idea. You and I are destined to be destined. Even God doesn't want the three of them to be buried together, so he asked you to help them."
Meng Xinzhu couldn't help but feel her heart sink. Is this the so-called providence? Did she go back to ancient times from modern times for no reason just to help the bamboo concubine in another time and space? But this seems to be the only explanation, otherwise there is something wrong with her.
Go, have to end up in the palace, there are so many palaces, but come to her palace. However, this woman's idea has too many loopholes. Although they look similar and sound similar, they pretend to be concubines and do not know each other.
Their rules will definitely be full of loopholes in the future, and it will be a matter of time before they cause death. That may not save people, but may actually harm them. In addition, if there is a fake empress, what will the real empress do?
Seeing that Meng Xinzhu was silent, the woman asked: "Girl? Girl?"
Meng Xinzhu turned her head and looked at her, "I have a few questions, please answer me first."
"good."
"Which country's royal palace is this?"
"Moon Kingdom Palace." Concubine Zhu said inexplicably.
After searching through the official and unofficial history of China, I couldn't find a "Moon Kingdom". Maybe it is a forgotten part that needs to be discovered and verified, or it is a part of another time and space. Meng Xinzhu raised her eyebrows, and she remembered that if this was the imperial palace,
So could it be the two she met just now? It couldn't be such a coincidence!
"Are you the concubine of the current emperor?"
The Bamboo Concubine smiled sadly, "Yes, he has too many women. From the time I entered the palace to now, he has never been called once. I'm afraid he has forgotten that he has a concubine like me."
She rolled up her sleeves and said, "This palace sand, come and go with me."
Suddenly Meng Xinzhu felt that she was very lucky. Although she could not be with the person she loved, she at least knew that he liked her. However, the Concubine Zhu in this time and space... Oh, who asked her to marry the emperor?
Who is the most philanthropic and affectionate person in history? I am afraid that her illness was caused by herself.
"Girl!" Concubine Zhu suddenly knelt down, "Please, help me!"
"Do you want me to pretend to be you? But this may not necessarily be helping you. This idea has too many loopholes and will cause trouble."
"But I can't just watch Ru'er and the others in their great youth and just bury them with me."
Meng Xinzhu sighed, "Not to mention that I have to pretend to be a good bamboo concubine, first let me tell you how you want to deal with yourself?"
"You can send me to the cold palace. There are many people there, including the late emperor and ancestors. They are crazy and sick. People who die can only be carried out and buried in a thin coffin. I won't cause trouble there.
Note that no one will be held accountable even if I die, and no palace maids or eunuchs can be implicated. It is different here. I have been served by Ru'er and the others since I entered the palace. For the past ten years, they have been like my relatives.
They have suffered a lot, so how can I bear to have them buried with them after they die?" Concubine Zhu choked with sobs, "But I am weak and unable to save them, so now I have no choice but to beg the girl."
"Even if you arrange it yourself, I can't play you well. After all, we are two people. Whether it is habits or speech and behavior, we are too different. Besides, I don't understand the rules in your palace.
If you make a mistake, Ru'er and the others will be dead. Moreover," Meng Xinzhu thought of Zhu Fei's husband, "you are the emperor's concubine."
The Bamboo Concubine smiled sadly, "I'm afraid the emperor doesn't even remember that there is a concubine like me. This Bamboo Garden is the most remote back hall of the palace, next to the Cold Palace. There are many beautiful and beautiful concubines among the emperor's concubines.
I am just a person who has been ill for a long time and is about to die. I have been sick for ten years and everyone despises patients. There is no need to go to the Queen Mother or the noble concubine to pay their respects. I have basically never left the Bamboo Garden. Except for Ru'er and the others, everyone in the palace has
No one will know about me anymore."
Meng Xinzhu sighed again, "Your thoughts are like water flowing eastward. The sorrows you gain and the sorrows you lose lose them."
Concubine Zhu looked at Meng Xinzhu and said, "Girl is a close friend, please promise me. Ru'er and the others are all poor people. They came to this place where they never see the sun because of their family difficulties. If you are alone, just follow me, but
Their families still need their help, otherwise I would go alone and take several family members with me."
