In the middle of the night, the snow became heavier and the north wind blew, making the doors and windows roar.

The lantern in my hand can almost only illuminate the place of one person, and I don’t know where to go.

Madam Xi tightened her robe. She had been a native of northerners for generations. After decades, she never thought that she would come to such a wet and cold place.

Even the robe that was smelled of aromatics also had a scent of musty smell, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"Madam, why are you still going out with such heavy snow? Look at the snow, you won't stop at night." The maid who spoke shrank her neck and curled her hands in her sleeves. She was the eldest maid next to Wu, named Hu Ge.

Madam Xi collected the paper bag held in her left hand, "The eldest lady drank the medicine and went to bed. I heard that the third brother was coming back soon, and her spirit was much better. No matter how heavy the snow was, the medicine residue would always be poured."

"I'm not at ease to let others do this. In this city, I don't know how many eyes are staring at us, and I want to see the eldest lady jokes! According to me, there is a prince and a third brother here, and our eldest lady, good days are still coming."

Hu Ge smiled, "It's great to treat the eldest lady. Then mama, please take a closer look at her feet. The ground is wet and slippery, don't fall."

Madam Xi nodded, shook the lantern in her hand, and walked outside the door.

As soon as she left, Hu Ge snorted, stamped the snow on her feet, and walked towards the inner room.

Mrs. Hu Guogong was seriously ill. Almost all the matters in half of the border palace were decided by Madam Xi. She had to come out to pour out the medicine every night, and no one rushed to stop her along the way.

As soon as she left the corner door, she was filled with snow on her neck, and she shrank again and again.

It was already late at night, and as soon as the dai Gengren walked, a long string of footprints were left on the road. Madam Xi did not raise her head, but walked towards the entrance of the alley with a deep and shallow foot against the wind and snow.

She turned several turns and saw a carriage parked at the end of the road. She accelerated her pace and walked over.

"Cough cough cough..." A cough sounded from the carriage.

"Why did my wife come tonight in person? It was cold and I started coughing again." Madam Xi frowned, saluted at the carriage door, and asked softly.

The person in the carriage coughed a few more times.

"It's okay, you forgot that I like snow the most when I was a child. My mother led me to build snowmen with my brother. I took two longan cores and made the snowman's eyes. It was black and shiny, and it looked particularly beautiful."

"Recently, I always remembered what happened when I was a child. Alas..." The person in the carriage sighed softly.

Madam Xi shook her body and knelt down with a plop, "The old slave is useless, and she has let down her wife's trust. This time she met, she called the people over there to beat her down."

"A few days ago, I became famous in one battle and my prestige in the army soared. Although I didn't have military power,... but Enko, you don't have to worry. Although he studied day and night, it was difficult to get to the top of the imperial examination, and he failed the exam."

The people in the carriage didn't speak.

After a long time, she sighed, "Before he caught the third child, no one felt that he could do it. Madam Xi, we all called a child and cheated him."

A thin layer of sweat emerged from Madam Xi’s spine.

The person in the carriage started to cough again. Every time she coughed, Madam Xi frowned a little, "Girl... I deserve to die, Madam... It's cold, it's better to go back earlier."

"Now, the situation is chaotic and there is not necessarily a turning point. The old slave will definitely be able to realize his wish for his wife."

The carriage did not answer, and it took a long time to say, "If nothing big happens, I will not come again in the future."

Madam Xi looked stern, "Don't worry, madam."

There was no sound in the carriage. A white and tender hand reached out. Madam Xi respectfully handed over the paper bag in her sleeve. The hand put the paper bag in her hand, turned around and handed out a small porcelain bottle.

Madam Xi calmly put away the porcelain bottle without changing her expression, put it in her arms, and watched the carriage leave.

Fengxue was really big. Madam Xi wiped her face, and even her eyebrows were covered with ice, but she still didn't turn her back and let Fengxue hit her face.

It was not until the carriage disappeared that she turned around and shrank her neck and headed towards the Duke Hu's mansion.

"Why are you at the corner gate today? Where is Mrs. Qian?" Madam Xi shook the lantern and stamped her feet.

"That lazy woman was afraid of being very cold. She bought me wine and went to bed by herself. The house on my side was like an ice cellar, and there was no heartwarming person. I'm here now, and the charcoal fire can't be burned!"

"Madam, there are so many beautiful sisters in the eldest lady's house. You can talk about it for me!"

Madam Xi glanced at the gatekeeper, "Just like you who drink yellow soup every day, who can look down on you?"

The gatekeeper was immediately dissatisfied, "My grandma said, the people in the house are like serious people. They look down on me, and I look down on them. Who doesn't know that any more beautiful things are called the second young master..."

Before he finished speaking, Madam Xi stopped him, "I have put a few taels of yellow soup into my stomach, and I can't even find Bei. What maggots are chewing in the dog's mouth? If you are not awake and go to the snow to roll, you will know the severity."

The gatekeeper was shocked, grabbed a handful of snow, and blurred his face.

"I'm owed me, Madam, please spare me this time, so I can't say it out. By the way, you go and pour the medicine residue. The one in your family is here to find you. Look, it's so anxious, it seems that something is wrong."

"I don't know when you will come back, so I dare not keep her, but she refuses to leave. So I asked her to go to the corridor at the other end of the Moon Gate to hide from the snow."

When Madam Xi heard this, she looked around and slapped the gatekeeper's head, "You monkey grandson, if you hadn't been driving well, you would have driven you out. That place..."

The gatekeeper rubbed his head and said indifferently, "No one in the mansion knows that no ghosts will go there. Madam, hurry up, otherwise a good little girl will freeze into ice."

Madam Xi said that, she took out a small silver piece from her sleeve bag and stuffed it to the gatekeeper. She took two steps at a time and headed towards the Moon Gate.

He was right. In this mansion, the place where ghosts would not go is the Moon Gate. Because the second young master always sang music there for a while. He is now very irritable, who dares to go there to touch his eyebrows?

Because he was walking in a hurry, when he arrived at the Moon Gate, Madam Xi felt her feet getting hot, "Zhilan?"

She narrowed her eyes and called out to the figure standing in the corridor through the dense snow.

Chen Wangshu turned around and smiled at Madam Xi, "It's cold and cold. Do you want to go to my place to have a cup of hot tea?"
