Chapter 371 (1/2)
Xue ronghua gently breathed the moist air in the cold palace, which seemed to be mixed with a musty smell, which made people frown. Wave your handkerchief between your nose and breath. Trying to get rid of the unpleasant smell.
The eunuch smiled and said, ”inside is Zhao's room. Just go in, Miss Xue, and the servant is waiting outside.”
”You don't have to wait. I'm quite clear about the route in the palace. Go back to your own residence to serve the master first. I don't need you to worry about it here.”
The eunuch was stunned. Some people said, ”but is miss here alone? Does miss want to see Zhao alone?”
”Or I'll take you,” Xue ronghua chuckled. ”You don't have to worry about me. I think you're still afraid of such a gloomy place as the cold palace. If you're afraid, go back first. I won't tell others you'll go first.”
The eunuch wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. ”Be careful, miss. The cold palace is the most haunted place in the imperial palace. Many people have heard the voice of women crying inside. Besides, Zhao is crazy. I'm afraid she will hurt miss if she goes crazy.”
”Don't worry. I can't even control a weak woman,” Xue ronghua waved impatiently. ”Just go down. If you're by my side, I can't take care of two people if she hurts you.”
When the eunuch entered the cold palace, he was already shaking all over. When I heard her say this, I wanted to leave this damn place for a long time. ”What the young lady said is, thank you for your understanding. The servant will leave right away.”
”Go.”
Xue ronghua tilted his mouth and saw a red figure in the inner room. It must be Zhao's wandering in the room. She estimated that she walked quietly, and suddenly heard a burst of silver bell like laughter, ”princess to be, how did you come here? I thought you were becoming a queen and didn't have much time to talk to the palace.”
Xue ronghua's eyes darkened and slowly saw Zhao Qingyao standing at the door with a sad face. She took a deep breath and was almost choked by the musty smell. She still gave her a gift. ”My daughter paid a visit to the imperial concubine.”
”Your ceremony is a little strange. Now the palace is just a prisoner of the new emperor. There is no meaning for the queen to salute me,” Zhao Qingyao said with a smile. ”It should be the palace for you.”
Xue ronghua looked at her pale cheeks and hesitated: ”my mother seems to be in good spirits. I thought she was really crazy.”
”If the palace were not crazy, it would have been killed by the first emperor and could still live in the cold palace?” Zhao Qingyao snorted coldly. ”The palace can't escape the first emperor, but also the new emperor. In short, the identity of the palace is just a dead word.”
”The empress doesn't have to worry. It's smart to pretend to be crazy to avoid the responsibility of the former Emperor,” Xue ronghua narrowed his eyes slightly. ”But the new emperor really can't accommodate the empress. What the empress has done is too strange. The new emperor can't rest assured of the empress anyway.”
”So did the new emperor send you to kill the palace?” Zhao Qingyao gave her a faint look. ”In the final analysis, the palace is ready, and I'm not afraid you'll call me dead. Come on, is it poison wine or white Ling or dagger? The palace asks for a pleasure.”
Xue ronghua didn't expect her to look indifferent. Zhao Qingyao saw through her mind and raised a sad smile on her lips. ”Since entering the palace, the palace has long put life and death aside. It's just a life. Only the emperor's life is the most valuable in this harem. His harem like me has 3000, which is nothing.”
”You know the new emperor has a beloved, Mrs. Heyi. I'm afraid her life is more valuable than the emperor's life,” sighed Xue ronghua. ”But it still depends on the emperor's eyes. Although they are women in the harem, there is always a level.”
Zhao Qingyao stared at her with cold eyes for a while, ”why, is the new emperor bad for you?”
”It's not bad. It's just that they are all women in the harem. It's hard to avoid some rabbit death and fox sorrow when they see you now,” Xue ronghua said with a low eyebrow. ”I'm not a queen yet, and you don't have to call me queen. If you were bent on us and wouldn't raise the prince and move crooked thoughts, the new emperor wouldn't kill you now.”
”In any case, he will kill me. It has nothing to do with what's facing you,” said Zhao Qingyao hissing. ”You know, settling accounts after autumn is what every emperor will do. I'm just his sum in the liquidation.”
