Chapter 748 Midwinter

The deep palace is silent.

Fengzao Palace is as quiet as a tomb. Before the fire brazier was installed in the hall, the furnishings in the hall became more and more cold and bright, and even the air seemed to be frozen into ice.

The winter of this year came much earlier than in previous years. Although it is still September, the weather is already very cold. The flowers and plants in Fengzao Palace have withered in a mess early, and the yard is full of decay.

I heard that the chrysanthemums are blooming very well this year, and the gardeners in the palace have cultivated many new varieties, competing for beauty and beauty.

In other palaces, chrysanthemums had already been placed in a yard, and concubines and nobles from all walks of life, as well as palace maids and eunuchs from various palaces, all gathered around to appreciate chrysanthemums and talked and joked. Some of them were even very talented, and had already started to chant chrysanthemums and write poems.

But that was all about others. Fengzao Palace was still so deserted that it was scary. The vermilion palace gate was closed and I don’t know how many days it had never been pushed open. The yard was full of red and decaying grass. Fortunately, no one came. If someone really pushed the door in, I would probably think that he had walked into a deserted house.

Not only that, Fengzao Palace is now gone. The eunuchs and maids in the palace are about to leave. At this time, the palace maids are only Bao Qin and stand alone in the corridor and stare at the dead grass all over the yard. In addition, there is an ugly little eunuch who looks and has a lame leg left in the kitchen, and I don’t know what he is doing.

The Fengzao Palace Hall was even quiet and there was no sound. The outside was still colorful, and all the furnishings stood in their original place, with extremely cold colors.

The hall was also quiet, with the curtains hanging down, and behind the layers of curtains, there was a person lying flat on the white color, and his body was covered with several quilts.

Even so, the man was still shaking cold and his face turned pale and blue. If she hadn't been trembling by accident, she would have been like a dead person.

She looked too thin, and her body was exhausted, leaving only a piece of skin wrapped in bones, which made people scared when they saw it.

The woman who closed her eyes and remained motionless was Jia Yuanchun, the eldest lady of Rongguo Mansion.

If she wasn't lying in Fengzao Palace, and if she wasn't there was a zither beside her, no one would dare to recognize that the person who was hard to tell the difference between life and death was Jia Yuanchun!

I'm afraid even if her mother comes, she dares not recognize each other.

In just a few months, can one person consume this?!

It shouldn't be so. If her mother hadn't come to the palace to persuade her, coax her, and force her to be the inner responder of the Eastern Palace; if this wasn't what the palace maid heard and the palace maid told others, and the palace maid had spread it all over the palace, she wouldn't have lived a life worse than death.

What a courage!

Even Jia Yuanchun couldn't understand why his mother came to the palace to say these things, and why did her, her biological daughter, force her to die?

Life is worse than death!

Since those words were heard, the emperor has never entered the gate of Fengzao Palace. The first ones were the concubines who were usually dissatisfied with her. They ridiculed her, scared her, and scared her, and made her sick one after another.

Later, even the Empress came. The Empress stared at her for a while, then asked in surprise: "Concubine Xiande, the Emperor has appointed you Concubine Xiande. Who knew that you actually colluded with the rebellion and wanted to cooperate with the rebellion and harm the Emperor... Concubine Xiande, are you a ghost, or do you want to be the Queen?"

Jia Yuanchun couldn't argue, so he could only kneel on the ground and kowtow, begging the queen for help.

The conscience of heaven and earth, Jia Yuanchun decided not to have this plan. Although her mother persuaded her for half a day, she just said perfunctory words. But who knew that these words could be passed on to the Hegong Palace.

But now that things have come to this point, she is powerless to turn things around and can only lie on the bed and wait for death.

The wind blew as soon as it started.

Baoqin was so cold that he shivered, and then turned around and wanted to enter the hall. Although the inside and outside were as cold as it was, and it was still colder, fortunately there was no wind blowing.

Who would have thought that she would turn around and leave? The gate of Fengzao Palace opened a gap and two little palace maids sneaked in.

When they saw that it was the two of them, the two of them were so angry that they could not help but get angry. They waited until they entered the yard, and then they lowered their faces and asked, "Where are you two going?"

When the two little palace maids heard her question, they immediately smiled and said, "We went to the yard of Liang Guifei to see the chrysanthemums. My sister didn't see it. The big chrysanthemums were blooming so well, and the color was also good..."

Before the two little palace maids finished speaking, Bao Qin sneered, "Very good, you guys are going to have sex on your own. Who does the work in this palace? The water is cold and the soup is cold. If the empress wakes up for a moment, what should she drink and what to eat?"

The two palace maids were in high spirits, and they were scolded by Bao Qin. The two immediately changed their faces and stared at Bao Qin and asked, "Sister, what are you doing? Are you old or not smart? Can't you go to hot water? What are you doing to show us your face?"

Bao Qin was so angry that her face turned purple when she was snatched by this blow. She said angrily: "Is this what I should do? If I do it all, what do you two do..."

The two palace maids were even more unwilling to be outdone, and then they said hatefully: "Sister, I advise you to save some trouble. When is it now? If there is no daily today, what can you do so clearly? Besides, your eldest lady is not a concubine now! Who in the palace doesn't know that your eldest lady has already rebellious? The emperor is merciful and afraid that you will be embarrassed to death, so he just ignores you. Do you really think you are the queen? There is such an empress in this palace. There is no fire in this cold weather, and there is not a single chrysanthemum in the yard?"

Bao Qin was even more angry when the two of them snatched her from the white spots and was trembling all over, pointing at the two of them and couldn't speak.

The two little palace maids became more and more excited, and even said with a sneer: "I'm afraid you don't know yet, sister. Now the emperor is busy quelling the rebellion. I don't know how many families have been confiscated, and I'm afraid the next family will be the noble mansion? Then even my mother's family will be killed completely, so how can you be the queen?"

Bao Qin heard the two of them say this, and his heart sinks down. He hurriedly asked, "Nobody, where are these rumors coming from?"

It turned out that Jia Yuanchun had already broken off contact with the outside of the palace. She didn't know any rumors outside of the palace, and her news would not be spread at all, so she didn't know anything.

When the two little palace maids heard Baoqin ask, they immediately sneered and said, "It turns out that Sister Baoqin doesn't know anything. No wonder, now everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Xiande was regarded as a thorn in her eyes by the emperor, and will be killed sooner or later. Who except us is willing, and who dares to interact with her sister? But we have lived together for several years, and it's no big deal to tell her sister... You always know that you can't escape and die..."
