Wan Yu was helped to stand in front of the cold palace gate.

She had dressed up, with golden cloud and dragon patterns woven on the water-colored tunic, and a lotus pattern embroidered with gold thread on the big red skirt. Her hair was full of pearls and jade, and she wore a phoenix crown on her forehead.Looking at it from a distance, I only feel that it is lively and extravagant.

Although Wan Yu's regular clothes are extravagant, they are simple.The attire of coming to Lenggong is intentional, otherwise how could it bring out the downfall of some acquaintances in Lenggong?

When the late emperor was still alive, Wan Yu never competed with anyone for favor, because it was unnecessary, and the heart of competing with the late emperor was all on her.Sometimes he even wished that the late emperor would spend more time with other concubines, instead of hanging around her all the time.Although she has no desire to compete for fame and fortune, she can't stand some people who take the initiative to provoke trouble.Some of those women were given to death, some committed suicide, some died incomprehensibly, and almost all those who were still alive were left in limbo.

"Don't you need to go in, empress? It's bad luck." Xian Qian could not help feeling a little chilly when she smelled the cool afternoon air here.The palace is full of yin and yang, and the Lenggong is an extremely cold place full of resentment. Xianqian thinks that the master has something to ask the servants to do it, and there is really no need to come here in person.

"When those women gained power, they still couldn't move Aijia. Could it be that after losing power, they developed their abilities? The same goes for ghosts, so why be afraid of them?" Wan Yu said to the maid serving beside her, "Open the door."

Because Wan Yu was coming, all the women in the Leng Palace were passed from the house to the yard, waiting to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager.But fearing that there would be people who would be overwhelmed and want to risk their lives to frighten them, the guards put up a wall between everyone in the cold palace and the queen mother, ready to take down anyone who wanted to plot against the queen mother at any time.

After all, there are so many women in this cold palace who were brought in by Wan Yu.It was there during the time of the first emperor, and it was also there during the time of Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as Wan Yu entered the courtyard, she saw a group of women huddled together at the corner of the palace wall, and walked over with a smile.Xianqian reminded: "Your Majesty, don't get too close. Those people are either crazy or crazy. I am afraid that they will hurt you."

"What's there to be afraid of across the human wall?" Wan Yu glanced at Xianqian angrily.Xianqian accompanied her through countless dangers in Ning'an Palace, why not only did she not become more courageous, but instead became less and less courageous?It's not a good thing that the servants around you are too timid. If they are really in danger, they might leave their master and run for their lives alone.

But her attention was quickly attracted by the group of women in the corner.

"They're all familiar faces!" Wan Yu looked at each of them from left to right. She didn't expect that some people lived a long time, at least ten years in the cold palace, and they were still alive.

Wan Yu took a step back, not because she was afraid, but because she couldn't stand the bad smell.What Xianxi said is right, these women are either crazy or crazy, and they have all entered the cold palace, so naturally there are no servants to serve them, so these beauties who used to show off in front of the emperor in the past, are all turned into unkempt, sloppy lunatics by the cold palace Son, I don't know how long I haven't bathed and changed clothes, there is a pungent smell of sweat and dirt.

It was also thanks to Wan Yu's good eyesight that she could still recognize her former enemies even though they had already changed beyond recognition.

It's just that among this group of crazy women, there is one who is particularly eye-catching.The stone-blue coarse cloth clothes are clean, there are no pearls on her head, but a broken wooden hairpin is used to tie her hair up, her face has no makeup, but it is not as dirty as the other women beside her. .

This one is not the only one that is clean, there are two women who have just been thrown into the cold palace and are looking forward to regaining grace, and they are much more colorfully dressed than that woman.But only that person is like a fairy among the goblin mountain monsters, resigned from the world and independent.

Wan Yu vaguely remembered that this person was a nobleman of Emperor Ming Cheng. He looked familiar, but couldn't remember the name for a while.She only looked at the woman twice, but didn't take it seriously.

Xianqian loudly conveyed the Empress Dowager's will to everyone at the side: "Your Majesty will be in the cold palace for a few days. During this period, everyone will make do with the room in the left courtyard. Without your Majesty's will, you are not allowed to leave the house." Then she told the guards The leader said: "Take everyone down! We must hurry up and make arrangements."

What to arrange?Nature is an organ.

Wan Yu is a very playful person, since she wanted to scare that Yao Xi, she wanted to do it to perfection, but how could it be enough to let the little eunuch spend an ordinary night in the cold palace?Wan Yu rushed over in the afternoon to prepare for tonight's show.

The woman in the cold palace was driven down by shouting and dragging. Seeing this scene, Wan Yu's face became ugly, and she yelled at the guards: "Stop! These people are the ones who made a big mistake. It is the late emperor and the current emperor." Woman, it's your turn to be unrestrained like dog slaves?"

The guards were terrified, and said softly to everyone in the Leng Palace: "Everyone, please!" Only a few crazy ones couldn't be taken away without their hands. Take people down.

The woman in blue clothes followed the flow of people to the left courtyard, and before disappearing around the corner, she looked back at Wan Yu.

The two maids lifted the chairs to the middle of the yard, and put the canopy back on. Xian Qian supported Wan Yu to sit down in the shade under the canopy, and asked, "I brought everything, please tell me, Madam."

The cold palace in Daxing is the original Jingling Palace, a triple courtyard with two entrances, five main rooms in the front yard, a bath room in the east end, and three east and west wing rooms.There is a short verandah in the backyard, and there is a small pond in the yard.

Wan Yu was surrounded by people and walked around the Jingling Palace. She already knew how to arrange the organs in her heart, so she quickly ordered: "Dig a one-foot-deep hole behind the threshold of the main palace gate, fill it with cotton , covered with a thin layer of soil. All candles are replaced with oil lamps, and the lamp oil is gradually increased from the door to the backyard, but the longest is not allowed to exceed half an hour. By the way, the lamp in front of the big bronze mirror in the Xici room must be kept , sprinkle some chicken blood on the mirror."

While listening, Xianqian kept in mind that the quick-witted court lady had already started to make arrangements as instructed.

"Put a string of bells here, don't trip anyone up, as long as it rings." Wan Yu had already imagined in her mind Yao Xi's appearance of being scared to death, with a smile that couldn't be concealed from the corner of her mouth, and her thoughts surged with interest: "Here is a white dress, and the collar is made of a dummy with grapefruit hair inserted. There is a cat in the cabinet over there. It must be black. Make a rope on the old locust tree in the backyard. , and also put on a dummy made of grapefruit and white clothes. On the beam above the head, put ice cubes in a cloth towel and let the water drip slowly..."

Xianqian was terrified when she heard it, she felt that the servant named Yao Xi was dead and left Jingling Palace alive.

"Ai Jia remembers that there is a pavilion next to Jingling Palace?" Wan Yu asked suddenly.

"Hui Niangniang, there is a pavilion for viewing lotus."

"Okay. Let's listen to the news over there tonight. You ask someone to tell Yao Xi that the Ai family has hidden a painting in Jingling Palace, and there are red tassels tied on it. If he finds the painting overnight, Ai will be fine." The family will not punish him, and after guarding tonight, he will return to the Siyuan Bureau to work. If he can't find it after the hour, his life will be lost."

"The slaves obey the order."

***

Yao Xi slept outside the Ning'an Palace last night, and he wasn't sleepy at the moment. After tidying up the house, he wanted to find some errands to do.She thought that because of herself, everyone didn't sleep well last night, so she could share some of the affairs in the yamen.Ning'an Palace is not a place for her to stay. After all, she is still a member of the Siyuan Bureau, and she lives and eats here. Offending Liao Bing is a certainty, and she can't offend anyone else.

She picked up the pumpkin and was about to wipe it with a wet towel, when a little steward said to the busy people in a strange way: "Are you still in a daze? How dare you take over the work from Eunuch Yao, it made Eunuch Zheng feel distressed." Aren't we the unlucky ones?"

The crowd burst into laughter, and someone who spoke badly picked up a peach and pointed at Sang Huai and said: "Brothers, guess which piece of peach is the tastiest?"

Everyone said they didn't know.

The man laughed and said, "Of course it's a peach butt. It's not only delicious, but also expensive! Hahahahaha!"

Yao Xi let the pumpkin be snatched away, and ran away in embarrassment.She really regretted the fact of being stolen, she clearly knew that she had something to do with Liao Bing, and she clearly knew that Liao Bing was the nephew of the palm print eunuch.But think about it again, so what if you accept your fate and suffer from being dumb?The situation may not be better than it is now, maybe others will think that she is easy to bully even more.

I'm afraid that life in the Siyuan Bureau will be difficult in the future. Zheng Dayun does not ask for nothing from her, and he has made it clear that he cannot give what the other party wants. One day Zheng Dayun will have a new love or be annoyed by her, so I won't support her anymore.

Yao Xi looked at the sky, she had to enter the palace earlier today, so don't miss the time.The empress dowager's bad reputation is not groundless, it is already a miracle that she was able to recover her life from the empress dowager twice.

Yao Xi naively felt that it was too kind of the empress dowager to let her stay in the cold palace for three nights.

The kind and benevolent Wan Yu was standing in the Jingling Palace at this time, looking at the many traps she had personally set up and smiling happily.She was a little soft-hearted and wanted to remove some mechanisms, so as not to scare the little eunuch to death and have no more fun.

But thinking of the queen, Wan Yu suddenly felt relieved.If the little eunuch is scared to death, he will be scared to death. The queen's affairs can keep her busy for a long time.Besides, if the little eunuch was scared to death so easily, it wasn't worth her troubles.
