Hearing this, Su Man, who was assigned the room, smiled and said, "Why would you need a sister? You'll know once you go in and take a look."
After hearing Suman's words, the concubines walked into the room curiously.
Then, screams were heard one after another.
"Hey, why is my pillow in here?"
"Ah! My favorite silk quilt is here too."
"Could it be that the Snail Girl helped us get it?"
Su Man laughed and shook her head, muttering, "Maybe that snail girl is called Su Man."
Even though I have to live in the cold palace, I want to live in the cold palace with the best conditions, yeah.
-
At night, the ladies who had been making a fuss all day went to sleep.
Su Man walked alone to the northwest corner of the cold palace, where there was a small dog hole.
She pulled out the straw that was blocking the room, and immediately a voice came from outside, "Empress?"
"Yeah, it's me. How's the situation out there?"
Qi Bai heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Su Man's voice. "The Emperor ordered that all the palace maids who had served the Empress be locked up in their own palaces, hoping to suppress the news. However, the court officials outside still knew that the Emperor had banished all the concubines to the cold palace, and they are clamoring to report it to the emperor."
Su Man smiled and said, "The emperor must be very anxious now."
"Yes, but what worries the Emperor most is the princess's escape. The Keyi envoys who came to fetch the princess have already arrived. They were very angry when they heard about the princess's escape, saying that our dynasty does not respect them. The original eight cities are no longer enough, and they want fifteen."
"Shameless." Su Man cursed, "What did the emperor say?"
"It seems that the Emperor wants to agree."
Su Man was not surprised. Now that the former dynasty and the harem had made him overwhelmed, he must want to keep things peaceful.
But what you don’t know is that the more you want to calm down some things, the harder it is to calm them down.
"The banquet for the envoys will be held the day after tomorrow."
"yes."
Su Man chuckled and said, "Get ready."
"Swords have no eyes, my queen, please be careful."
...
The moonlight shines through the tree branches and onto the ground.
The dog hole was located in the northwest corner, where the ground was cold, damp, and without sunlight. Although it was summer, Su Man shivered with cold.
Just as they were about to return to their residence in the south, a scream was heard not far away.
"Ah! Don't hit me, I know I'm wrong, please stop."
Su Man felt the voice was familiar, so she walked towards the room where the lights were on.
The closer you get, the louder the crying becomes.
The house was in great disrepair, with most of the window paper falling off and covered in a black mass of mold mixed with moss, a dark and green color that made one nauseous.
There was only one lamp burning in the room, which looked unreal.
Through the gap, Su Man saw the scene inside.
A thin woman was being bullied by two others and was crying pitifully.
The woman had disheveled hair and ragged clothes, but Su Man still recognized her; she was Concubine Shu.
