On New Year's Eve night, it snowed heavily.

The eunuchs in the house lit a brazier, and this hut was the only warmth in this space.Bai Ze was sitting by the eaves, snowflakes were falling on his body, almost blending into the boundless white.

He was frozen and stiff, very tired, his eyelids were half raised, and he was groggy.

Maybe he won't make it this year.

In a trance, I saw a fire in the distance getting closer.

A woman came slowly, holding a torch and a food box.Bai Ze tried his best to open his eyes wide, and his vision gradually became clear. After staying here for so long, it was the first time he saw someone from outside coming.

Her face was wrinkled, her hair was silvery white, her clothes were worn out but well-groomed, and she walked neither fast nor slow.

After a while, she came to the door of the house. She knocked on the door, and the door opened after a while.Eunuch Liu looked at her strangely and asked, "Who are you?"

"The old slave's surname is Jia. Today is New Year's Eve. With the grace of the Empress, she rewarded people in the palaces with delicious food." Nanny Jia smiled slightly, "This old slave brought it to you. It's still hot. Take it in and eat."

Eunuch Liu's eyes lit up. He had been in the cold palace for a long time. Whenever there was any reward in the palace, he would ignore it, and he was used to being forgotten.I didn't expect to receive something today, what a surprise!He was so excited that he quickly took the food box and said politely: "Mama has worked hard, it's so cold, come in and have a seat to warm up."

Nanny Jia was also polite, and followed into the room, saying: "I'm getting old, and my legs and feet are inconvenient, so the old slave will bother me, sit down for a while and then go back."

"Please come in." Eunuch Liu made a gesture of invitation, and went to pour water for Grandma Jia.

Grandma Jia smiled, "You guys, don't be so busy, eat quickly, it won't be good if it gets cold later."

The two eunuchs were waiting for this sentence, and opened the food box to see that there were chicken, duck and fish meat, complete in color, fragrance, and hot aroma.They are in this cold palace, and they usually don't have any oil or water. What they eat is simple, and they haven't even had the smell of oil for a long time. At this moment, their saliva is about to flow down.

Eunuch Liu and Eunuch Hu were a little reserved at first, but slowly they began to gobble it up, wishing they could swallow their tongues too.

Nanny Jia sat on the side, watching them eat with a smile.

Seeing them eating, they suddenly fell to the ground, motionless.

Grandma Jia didn't show the slightest surprise, she seemed to be waiting for this moment, she stood up and patted the folds of her clothes, took out the key from Eunuch Liu's arms, and walked out slowly with calm steps.

Bai Ze was outside the window, seeing everything in his eyes.He quietly followed behind Nanny Jia.

Nanny Jia's purpose was very clear. She walked directly to a locked courtyard in the innermost part of Lenggong, opened the courtyard door with the key she found from Eunuch Liu, and walked in.

Bai Ze stood outside the door with hesitation in his eyes.

A voice in his heart told him, don't meddle in other people's business, let's go, this woman has a heart like a snake and a scorpion, you have already decided that her life has nothing to do with you.But another voice said again, are you really not curious at all?Don't you really want to go in and have a look?That's your real mother...you hate her so much, don't you want to know what the hell she's up to?

He approached step by step, the heavy door was half open, leaving a gap, revealing a faint light.

It seems to be a kind of bewitchment, making him keep getting closer...

Bai Ze walked over slowly, slowly.

He stepped through that door, as if he had stepped into another world.

The narrow courtyard is overgrown with weeds and emits an unpleasant stench.The small windowless house exudes a decadent atmosphere... such a dirty and dilapidated place.

The door of the room was half open, and Bai Ze was standing at the door.

He finally saw her.

Her hair was loose, because it hadn't been combed for a long time, and it was a messy knot. It fell down and covered most of her face, only her chin was exposed, and there were bruises on it.She was wearing a loose robe, which was so dirty that the color could not be seen.But even so, it couldn't cover the thin skeleton, and the hands exposed outside the sleeves were covered with chilblains, and pus flowed from the wounds.

Bai Ze's heart trembled, and complex emotions appeared in his eyes.

Ji Xuan hated her so much.

Grandma Jia held Ye Shi's hand, and she couldn't help but shed tears. She was no longer calm, her voice was choked up, "Your Majesty, you have suffered."

But Mrs. Ye didn't respond, just sat there numbly.

"He tortured you like this! Madam, Madam, you have to say something!" Jia Nanny noticed something wrong with Mrs. Ye, and said in a shrill voice, "Madam... let's go, let's get out of here!"

Grandma Jia grabbed Ship Ye and was about to take her out of here, but Shih Ye suddenly resisted, making an 'ahhh' sound, and refused to leave no matter what!

Although Nanny Jia could forcefully hold her back, after all, Mrs. Ye was extremely weak, so how much resistance could she have?But this is not an option, I'm afraid he will be caught if he can't get out of the limbo.Grandma Jia tried for a long time, but she couldn't calm the frightened Ye Shi.Suddenly she cried loudly, "Why don't you want to leave, why do you punish yourself like this, why?"

"It's all their fault. They used this to deceive you and lost your child." Nanny Jia knelt on the ground, "Even if you did something wrong, you have already been punished, why do you still have to suffer like this?" Bitter! God is so unfair!"

"Why does the emperor treat you like this! If you really wanted to take his life back then, how could he have had the chance to live to this day. Why do you treat you like this now? Is it all your fault?!"

Grandma Jia hugged Ship Ye, she couldn't stop crying.

Bai Ze was shocked when he heard the words, he, was he thrown away by others?His mother, didn't want to abandon him?

"Niang Niang, you have paid too much for the Ye family. You have done so many things for the Ye family with all your conscience... I just ask the Ye family to do one thing for you, so that your child can grow up well. Big. But they are afraid, they think that child is a monster, and they even discarded such a small baby, and kept it from you for 20 years!" Mother Jia murmured, "The Ye family is devoid of conscience, it deserves such retribution, But why is it only you who suffer in the end."

"Your Majesty, can you leave with this old slave? Let's go to a place where no one will be found."

"Mother, wake up, he's gone...he's really gone this time." Nanny Jia held Ye Shi's hand and begged bitterly.

But Ye Shi seemed to be angry, she pushed Nanny Jia away forcefully, her voice was blunt, "He's still here!"

Mother Jia hugged her and cried, "Madam, let's go with this old slave, please."

"He's still here." Mrs. Ye just repeated this sentence.

Nanny Jia also realized that forcing is not advisable, she coaxed, "Yes, yes, let's go out and find him, shall we?"

Ye Shi waved her hand away, "I, I want to be, here, wait for him."

This is the longest sentence she said.

Jia Nanny looked at her, with sadness spreading in her eyes, and said slowly, "Why do you stay here, the emperor hates you so much, your life would be worse than death."

"Are you sure you won't leave?"

Grandma Jia wiped away her tears, stopped crying, her eyes were filled with cold hatred, "The emperor is so decisive, he will have retribution! Originally, this old slave didn't want to say it, but this old slave just wanted to take you out of this place." A place of right and wrong. But..."

"Today is New Year's Eve, and there is a grand banquet in the palace. They will not let go of such a good opportunity... If the emperor can't survive tonight, you don't have to stay here to suffer anymore. If the emperor survives. Madam, no matter you Wherever you go, this old slave will accompany you."

"The old slave will never leave you."

Nanny Jia bowed her head three times respectfully at Mrs. Ye, then got up and left silently.

Bai Ze looked at the woman in the room who looked like a lonely ghost, and felt something wet dripping from the corner of her eyes.

Because of his ignorance, he ruined the last hope of this woman.Why did he do that?He is the one who should be punished the most.

For more than ten years, they lived in the same palace, but they didn't know each other.

He always stood silently behind Ji Xuan, occasionally watching her arrogance and domineering, and gradually became hostile.

Later, he finally found out about his life experience, but the hatred didn't decrease at all, instead it increased.He hated why she abandoned him, why she ignored him, why she forced him to turn against Ji Xuan at the last moment.He felt that she was so selfish and disgusting.So he didn't want to see her.

Separated by a wall, he was just outside, hating her.

But he made mistakes again and again, and the truth turned out to be different from what he thought.

No matter how many wrong things she did, how many people she hurt.But at least, she never thought of abandoning him or hurting him. She hoped that he could live a good and happy life.

This is what she hopes, she is not a competent mother, but she has a mother's heart.

why don't you tell meWhy do you have to bear all this alone? Have you ever blamed your son for doing something that broke your heart?

If I didn't send the messenger's head back that night, but came to see you... there would be no misunderstanding between us, and I could die with you, would we be happy then?Don't be teased by fate again in your next life.Instead of living in the hell of pain and regret for each other like now.

Mom, I'm sorry.

Sorry, I can't betray Ji Xuan, I can't hurt him, I can't watch him die.

I'm sorry I made you suffer like this.

Sorry for coming back so late.

I will never leave again, I will be here with you.I'm going out for a while now, and when I come back, I won't go anywhere...

Bai Ze backed away slowly, looking back every time he took a step.

Sorry, I can't watch Ji Hyun in danger and not care.Mother, don't blame me, okay?

I promise, this is the last time.

……

Bai Ze galloped in the night.

On New Year's Eve, Ji Xuan and the queen hold a banquet together, creating a festive atmosphere in the palace.When Bai Ze came to Fangtingyuan, the dinner party was just about to start.

The dancers under the stage dance lightly, their waists twisted and their long sleeves fluttering, so beautiful.

Ji Xuan and Empress Cui sat on the high platform, surrounded by officials and their relatives, and there was a happy atmosphere everywhere.

Empress Cui smiled at Ji Xuan: "Auspicious snow heralds a prosperous year, which is really a good sign."

Ji Xuan smiled lightly, "I only hope that the country will live in peace and the people will be safe."

"It will definitely get better and better to have a wise king like the emperor." Empress Cui smiled sweetly.

Bai Ze walked quietly in the snow, no one noticed a gray cat approaching.

A court lady behind Ji Xuan had a light blue flower on her chest. From an angle that no one could see, a petal quietly fell into the jug.

Bai Ze's pupils shrank, and he never forgot the appearance of that flower.

The maid shook the jug lightly, and passed it to a middle-aged eunuch in front of her as if nothing had happened. The eunuch held the jug and poured out a glass of wine.

The wine glass was taken by another eunuch in front of him, and he took out a silver needle to test it, making sure there was no problem.

Finally, the glass of wine was sent to Ji Xuan.

He stood up and said to the officials below: "My dear friends, I respect you for this glass of wine."

There was silence all around, Ji Xuan stretched out his hand, about to pick up the wine glass.But suddenly a gray light rushed out from the side, and before he picked up the wine glass, it knocked over the whole glass without warning.

Everyone was shocked by this scene.

At some point, a gray cat appeared on the table in front of Ji Xuan. It didn't seem to notice the embarrassment of the scene at all, and even stretched out its front paws to fiddle with the overturned wine glass.

Empress Cui covered her mouth, "This, isn't this the cat that your majesty lost..."

Ji Xuan's complexion quickly returned to normal. Instead of looking at the cat on the table, he waved to the people behind him, motioning for another glass of wine.

The gray cat seemed unwilling, biting Ji Xuan's sleeve and not letting go.Ji Xuan had no expression on her face, but she pulled the cat down firmly.

Bai Ze looked at the wine glass brought up again, and understood that Ji Xuan couldn't be stopped like this.

A decisive light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly lowered his head to lick the wine spilled on the table.The taste of the wine is very good, the slightest abnormality can not be detected.

But when it fell into the belly, it was like a stabbing pain.Then he felt liquid flow out from the corners of his eyes and mouth.

He suppressed the discomfort and bit Ji Xuan's sleeve again, Ji Xuan finally lowered his head.

Then, he saw the shock in Ji Xuan's eyes with satisfaction.Now, you will understand...

Alcohol is poisonous.
