Chapter 52
As soon as Chen Fan left, a palace servant came to pack up and carried Ye Huan to the cold palace.
The cold palace has been abandoned for many years. Chen Fan sent two in in the early years, but they both died soon. Now that Ye Huan came in, she was the only concubine.
The weeds in the yard were taller than people, and the bedding in the house was cold and damp. As soon as Ye Huan was lifted to the bed, she felt uncomfortably cold.
The maid who brought her here said with shame and arrogance, "Now you are not the mistress, and the things you used before are not suitable, so the slaves took away your clothes and jewelry. Someone is sent in through the small window of the palace gate, you can ask Bai Tao to pick it up. The servant will not disturb your rest, so I will retire." The
maid took the others away, leaving only one white peach.
In this huge palace, there are only Ye Huan and Bai Tao.
I didn't give them any candles or other clothes. As autumn was about to begin, I was afraid it would be hard at night.
The original owner lived in this environment for ten years, and he was covered in wind and cold. On a windy and rainy day, his whole body hurt so much that his bones were rattling.
Bai Tao squatted on the edge of the bed, her eyes swollen from crying, "Niang Niang, why didn't you beg the emperor, there is nothing here, how can we survive?"
Ye Huan lay on the bed, barely showing a smile, "Silly girl , don't cry, it's useless even if I beg him. He didn't really want to punish me because of Concubine Zhang, but to target the Jiang family, take advantage of me, and let the Jiang family rebel, so as to solve the Jiang family."
Bai Tao was startled, "Then what should I do? You have only one daughter, the other sons are not as favored as you. If the master knows that you have been deposed, I am afraid that the emperor will attack the emperor right away.
" Secretly stuffed a bottle of gold sore medicine for the servant, and the servant will help you apply it first."
Ye Huan was beaten 20 times.
When Bai Tao helped her with the medicine, the pain made her grit her teeth to hold back.
Sooner or later, she will find Chen Fan to settle this hatred.
After Bai Tao finished her medicine, Ye Huan took off the jade bracelet on her wrist, "Bai Tao, when someone comes at night, give this bracelet to her and let her help change the bedding, pots and bowls, and candles. We are here. , but also to live well."
Married to Chen Fan for ten years, Ye Huan has been the queen for five years, although she was abolished, it is not that she has nothing. The Jiang family is a family of military generals, and the fine work they have cultivated can be said to be unparalleled.
When Ye Huan got married, the Jiang family gave Ye Huan ten detailed works. Now there are six left, four in the palace and two outside the palace. They have been helping Ye Huan in the past few years.
"Also, the matter of my being abolished must be passed on to Saibei." Ye Huan was so painful that he closed his eyes and said, "But don't pass it on in two days, and then pass it on in two days.
" The mind is in a mess, what the master says is what it is.
When Ye Huan made arrangements here, Chen Fan went to Zhang Susu's palace.
There were only Chen Fan and Guowan Zhang Susu in the inner hall.
Zhang Susu was lying in Chen Fan's arms with a pale face and said weakly, "Your Majesty, have you taken care of everything?"
Chen Fan looked at Zhang Susu tenderly, gently brushing aside the strands of hair that fell in front of Zhang Susu's cheeks, "I have already taken Jiang Yun has been sent to the cold palace, Susu, I have wronged you this time, and I will definitely have a healthier child with you in the future." Zhang Susu's child
could not be saved, but it was Chen Fan who wanted to abolish Ye Huan. This queen, and Zhang Susu deliberately raised a scene.
"Your Majesty." Zhang Susu was moved to tears, "As long as it is for the good of the Emperor, let the concubines do whatever they want."
She put one hand on her flat stomach, and a killing intent flashed across her eyes, "But Your Majesty, you still Leave Jiang Yun alive, what if she does something else?"
"Don't worry, she has been beaten 20 times, 80% of the time she won't be able to live. Even if she survives, in a place like the cold palace, she will become a waste. Chen Fan said, "I didn't kill him because I wanted to make people feel that I was kind, but she would always die. Jiang Yun, a person so proud, would never live in a cold palace."
Zhang Susu nodded lightly, "You are still the most powerful."
"Haha, that's natural." If you are not powerful, how can you endure for ten years.
In the past ten years, because of fear of Jiang's military power, Chen Fan gave Ye Huan everywhere.
Now that he has supported the Zhang family and can compete with the Jiang family, he is waiting for Jiang He and his son to receive the news of Jiang Yun's dismissal.
When Chen Fan appeased Zhang Susu, Ye Huan got the food for tonight, but it was all leftovers that were sour and could not be eaten at all.
Bai Tao looked at the leftovers with a worried expression, "Miss, these meals are given to pigs, and pigs won't eat them. They are too bad for people.
" Well, if he has any conscience, he will bring clean meals tomorrow." Ye Huan was the queen before she was deposed, and although she was not allowed to bring other things, the jewelry Ye Huan was wearing at that time was still there, just like anything else. Can be invaluable.
Bai Tao's stomach was already rumbling with hunger, but the master didn't say that she was hungry, and she couldn't cry that she was hungry, otherwise the master would be even more sad.
Fortunately, after dark, their fine work came.
Hongye brought a load of things, and after turning into the cold palace, she took out a fire bag, squatted on the edge of the bed and said to Bai Tao, "I brought some medicines to ward off the cold, boilers, clothes, etc. You and Niangniang should respond to the emergency first. There are two guards guarding outside the cold palace, and I don’t dare to bring too many things at once. When the maiden’s injury is healed, we will go out of the palace to Saibei, and never stay in this ruined harem.”
Hongye several He grew up in Saibei, and his temperament brought some of the heartyness of Saibei people. If the master was not the queen, they would not come to the capital.
After Hong Ye left, Bai Tao took clean clothes and changed them with Ye Huan. "Niangniang, Hongye just said, when you are well, we will leave the palace, what do you think?" Bai Tao was a little worried, "It is not difficult for us to leave the palace, but if you leave, what will happen
to the general?"
If you enter the cold palace, even if you die, there will be a corpse in the cold palace. If he sneaked away, Chen Fan would have more reason to punish the Jiang family.
But if they don't leave, they will suffer in the cold palace.
After changing into clean clothes, Ye Huan felt a lot more comfortable, "Hong Ye said angry words. When he turned around and calmed down, he knew we couldn't leave."
In the dark hall, Ye Huan couldn't see Bai Tao's expression, but knew that Bai Tao must be frowning, "Bai Tao, I will have today's result, because I was blinded by love before. But from now on, I will no longer It's the queen, I'm just Jiang Yun. Don't frown, when I get better, there will be another way out."
Bai Tao wiped her tears in the dark, "Yes, you are right. As long as the general still guards Saibei, The emperor will not dare to touch you. As long as we are alive, we will have the opportunity to go out!"
After some encouragement, the two were also tired.
It was still cold in the cold palace, Ye Huan woke up several times during the night, and did not sleep peacefully.
After a month like this, Ye Huan was able to go down to the ground freely.
As soon as it was dawn, Ye Huan and Bai Tao got up.
Because of the money, the eunuch who delivered the meals did not send any more sour meals, but they only brought vegetables and rice every day, and there was no oil or water at all.
Fortunately, Hongye brought some bacon for them and fry them with their own small stove, and the taste is also very fragrant. And what was used for the fire was the bushes and weeds in the yard.
After washing, the little eunuch brought white porridge, Ye Huan and Bai Tao ate a little, and seeing that the sun was good today, they took out the bedding to dry.
With a "squeak" sound, the door of Leng Gong suddenly opened.
Ye Huan put down the quilt in her hand, turned her head to look in the direction of the door, and saw Zhang Susu brought someone in and walked to Bai Tao.
"Bold Jiang, don't you hurry up and salute when you see the noble concubine?" A palace maid came out and said sharply.
Ye Huan didn't move, "I'm sorry, the air in the cold palace is cloudy, my eyes are not very good, I don't know which empress is here?" The
palace maid wanted to speak, but was stopped by Zhang Susu.
After Zhang Susu had a miscarriage, her body was well conditioned.
To be honest, she used to be quite afraid of Ye Huan, because Ye Huan was not only the queen, but also had a breathtaking aura.
"I heard that my elder sister is having a hard time in the cold palace, and Ben Gong brought some clothes. I never thought that elder sister is not bad. It seems that I am over-hearted." Zhang Susu smiled lightly.
"It turned out to be Concubine Zhang Gui, then you are really over-hearted." Ye Huan said, "The emperor deliberately abandoned me, but you came to see me behind the emperor's back. I am really touched by such a good sisterhood. But if you do this, if the emperor knows I'm afraid I'll be dissatisfied with you, right?"
Zhang Susu couldn't smile anymore.
She was the one who caused Ye Huan to be deposed. These days, knowing that Ye Huan was still alive, she felt a little uneasy. When she passed by today, she couldn't help but want to come and have a look. Seeing that Ye Huan was back to normal and her mouth was still so sharp, she couldn't hold back.
But she quickly put on a smile again, "Sister, you don't have to worry about this palace, come here, bring in all the things you have prepared for this palace." As
soon as Zhang Susu finished speaking, a group of palace maids came in holding the things. In the main hall of the Cold Palace, after a while, the sound of "crackling" came from the hall.
Bai Tao took a step forward in anger, but was stopped by Ye Huan.
"Please don't mind my sister. Your things are too broken, and this palace is for the good of my sister, so I will help you deal with those things." Zhang Susu smiled and said authentically.
Ye Huan shook his head and said that it was okay, "The concubine is very kind, I have written it down. But the concubine is so kind, I hope you will have good rewards in the future, so that you can accumulate blessings for your child."
"When I was a child, I heard the witch in Saibei say that if a woman hits a child on purpose, the child cannot be reincarnated. He will resent his mother and will always be by his side. It's terrible to think about it. Oh, why did I say this, Concubine Concubine? Your child was an accident, and you didn't drop it yourself." Ye Huan turned around and took Bai Tao to the hall, "Thank you for your kindness today, the concubine, and if there is a chance in the future, I will thank you again.
" Ye Huan said with a pale face, until he left the cold palace, but he did not recover.
She has indeed often dreamed of unborn children recently, and thinking of Ye Huan's words made her feel horrified.
"Be careful, madam!"
Zhang Susu didn't notice the steps, and almost fell after stepping on the air. Although she was supported by the palace maid, she twisted her foot.
"Go... go to Baohua Hall, this palace is going to pray." Zhang Susu hurriedly said.
And in the cold palace, Bai Tao asked Ye Huan if what Ye Huan had just said was true or not, because she had never heard of it.
"Of course it's fake, she came to mock me on purpose, and of course I want to scare her." Ye Huan looked at the mess in the room. Except for the bedding she took out to dry, the rest of the pots and pans were all covered up. smashed.
"Concubine Zhang Gui is going too far!" Bai Tao said angrily, "The stove was smashed, the clothes were all torn up, and even the kettle we used to drink tea fell. She didn't even leave a good thing behind."
Ye Huan thought of Zhang Susu's proud face, and then looked at the destroyed things in the palace, and immediately noticed, "Bai Tao, when Hong Ye comes at night, you ask Hong Ye to prepare us two sets of maid's clothes."
"Niangniang, you What is this for?" Bai Tao asked.
"I still want to scare Zhang Susu again. She framed me for killing her child, and now she's trying to make trouble. If I don't teach her a lesson, I won't be named Jiang." Ye Huan said angrily.
The two cleaned up until the evening before they cleaned up the things in the hall.
And the little eunuch who sent it changed, and the food turned into stinky rice again. This time, no matter how much money Bai Tao put in, the other party refused to ask for it.
"It must be Concubine Zhang who made someone change the eunuch." Bai Tao rubbed her flat belly, "Niang Niang, she is really deceiving! This servant will hope that what you said is true, so that the child turns into a ghost and eats her. !"
Ye Huan was also hungry without having dinner.
It was not until after dark that Hongye brought the palace maid's clothes, and Ye Huan changed her clothes and went out.
The original owner grew up in the military camp since he was a child. Although he was not as hard as his brothers in martial arts at home, he also practiced a good kung fu. Later, she entered the palace and became a queen. She stopped practicing for a few years, but the foundation was still there.
During these days, Ye Huan would bring a piece of white peach to practice from time to time.
After changing into the maid's clothes, Ye Huan asked Bai Tao and her to split up, and asked Bai Tao to find daily necessities. She also went to Zhang Susu's palace.
When she turned into the courtyard of Zhang Susu's palace, it was already dark, and the little eunuch who was vigilant outside stood with eyes closed and dozing off.
She went around the back of the bedroom and found Zhang Susu taking a bath.
"Xiju, the master of Baohua Temple asked Ben Gong to copy the "Diamond Sutra" to cultivate tranquility, why does Ben Gong think it is useless?" Zhang Susu sat in the bathtub and frowned.
Xijuan gently wiped her body for her master. She also heard what Ye Huan said, and she was also a little scared, but she didn't dare to say, "The madam is worrying too much, since the master has said that it is useful, it must be useful. And the master didn't give you a string of Buddha beads, so evil things can't get close to you."
"You're right." Zhang Susu looked at the bead in his hand and sighed, "It would be nice if the emperor was here, but since the birth of Xiaoyue in this palace, the emperor has not come to see this palace, and I don't know about the emperor. Do you still have this palace in your heart?"
"You just came out of Xiaoyue, maybe the emperor will summon you tomorrow." Xijuan reassured.
"Why don't Ben Gong take the initiative to find the emperor tomorrow, Concubine Yu, that bitch, taking advantage of Ben Gong's Xiaoyue, seduces the emperor all day long. After Ben Gong regains his favor, she must suffer a little, so that... Cuckoo, did you hear anything?" Zhang Susu suddenly heard some choking sounds, softer and smaller, like a baby crying.
Xijuan stopped what she was doing and turned her ears to listen, "No, madam, did you hear something wrong?"
Zhang Susu held her breath and listened intently. After confirming that there was no sound, she breathed a sigh of relief.
After washing, Zhang Susu came out of the bathtub, but heard a whining cry, intermittently, "Xijuan, did you hear that?"
At this moment, goose bumps all over her body stood up.
Xijuan also vaguely heard some crying, so scared that she lost the water scoop in her hand, and said with a trembling voice, "Mother...Mother, it seems that a baby is crying."
Zhang Susu also heard it, she stepped back in a panic, But he fell because of the pain in his feet, and the baby's cry echoed in the house.
"Ah!" A scream cut through the sky above the bedroom.
Although Zhang Susu's arm hurts a lot, she has no time to think about it, she just shook her head and said, "No... don't blame me, you couldn't keep it!"
The palace maid who was waiting outside heard screams from inside, and hurriedly came in to ask what was wrong.
Zhang Susu asked them if they had heard anything, but the maids shook their heads.
"Waste, how could there not be, this palace can hear clearly!" Zhang Susu frantically patted his head, scaring the other palace maids to hurriedly call for the imperial doctor, and then let someone call the emperor.
And at this moment, Ye Huan had already left.
This scary thing has to be controlled.
When I went back, I stopped by Zhang Susu's small kitchen and got some food.
When Ye Huan arrived in the cold palace, Bai Tao and Hong Ye also stole all kinds of daily necessities.
Ye Huan took out the roast chicken and pig's trotters, "You guys also sit down and eat it. I've been vegetarian for a month, and I'll have a good meal today."
Hong Ye ate a chicken leg and left, while Bai Tao gulps down the chicken, "Niangniang, roast chicken is really fragrant. Ah, I used to think roast chicken was not unusual, but now it tastes delicious in the world."
Ye Huan also thought roast chicken was delicious, and after he was full, he wiped his mouth with satisfaction, seeing that Bai Tao also stole a stack of silver notes, he was busy. Ask, "Who did you steal that money from?"
"Ah?" Bai Tao swallowed the chicken in her mouth, looked back at the money on the bed, shook her head and said it wasn't stolen, "It was secretly sent by Shu Mo who was in front of Prince Mu, Shu Mo said that life was not easy in the cold palace, a few days ago The emperor is staring at the cold palace, and Prince Mu has no chance to send money. Today, I found an opportunity to send us 10,000 taels of silver notes."
"The slave was embarrassed to ask for it, but I thought that the eunuch who delivered the meal had changed. , we are afraid that it will be more difficult in the future, so we will accept it first. If you don't want it, we will find a chance to return it to Shumo in the future."
"By the way, Shumo also said that Prince Mu will find an opportunity to see you in a few days."
"Prince Mu?"
Ye Huan thought about the plot of the original novel, and after a while, he thought of who Prince Mu Chen Shuo was.
When Chen Shuo was born, his mother-in-law bleeded and died. He was not favored when he was young, but because he was too different in age from his brothers, he was not weak when his brothers won the heirloom, so he became the only prince after Chen Fan ascended the throne.
When Ye Huan first married Chen Fan, Chen Shuo was only twelve years old. He was obviously a prince, but he was thin and small, and the maids in the palace didn't even care about him.
After Ye Huan found out, he helped change the waiter, and told the late emperor that Chen Shuo hadn't entered Taixue yet, so Chen Shuo was able to start studying.
Later, Ye Huan was busy helping Chen Fan to win the heir, and didn't pay special attention to Chen Shuo, but Chen Shuo often went to her to ask for her peace.
Now that Chen Shuo sent 10,000 taels of silver notes, Ye Huan was very surprised.
"He is very generous, even if we are in the cold palace, we won't need that much money." Ye Huan murmured.
"The slaves said the same thing." Bai Tao nodded, "But Shumo said that you don't have to worry about money, so you can spend it, and when Prince Mu comes to see you next time, you will bring more."
"Niangniang, you said that Prince Mu What did I come to see you for?" Bai Tao was puzzled, although Niangniang had been kind to Prince Mu, but it was already very good to give 10,000 taels of charcoal in the snow, so why did she come to see her in person?
Ye Huan shook his head and said he didn't know, "I can't guess either. Wait for him to ask and see what he wants to do."
