Su Man was a little surprised. Although Shu Guiren was banished to the cold palace, if Murong Hong had cared for her, she would not have ended up in such a situation.
The beating and scolding continued inside. The stronger woman spat at her, "Now you know how to beg for mercy. Why didn't you think about the consequences when you humiliated me? I just soiled your skirt, and you made me eat mud. A vicious woman like you will never leave the cold palace!"
The person next to him also joined in, "That's right, if we didn't think you could one day fly up to the royal family, we would have taught you a lesson long ago. Now the emperor might not even remember who you are, let's see how rampant you can be."
The double torture of body and mind made Shu Guiren break down and cry, "No, the emperor has not forgotten me. He will take me out of the cold palace. He promised!"
“…”
After just a few words, Su Man understood Shu Guiren's situation.
When she first entered the cold palace, Murong Hong took care of her, so she took advantage of her power to bully others and dominate the place.
But Murong Hong is the king of a country after all, and there have been too many things happening in the court and harem recently, so he has no time to take care of her after a long time.
The people in the harem have always been good at judging the situation and bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Seeing that the emperor had forgotten about her, they turned around and humiliated her.
Those who harm others must first harm themselves, and those who harbor evil thoughts will be punished by God.
...
The two men vented their anger and left cursing.
The open door made a "clang-clang" sound when blown by the wind. Shu Guiren looked at the figure that suddenly appeared at the door, thinking that it was the two people who came back, and shrank back in fear.
But when she saw who it was, her expression turned into surprise, "Queen?"
Su Man said regretfully, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't want my sister to look so haggard."
Concubine Shu was so thin that her face was almost gone, and her once-proud white skin had become old. She was filthy all over, and her eyes were full of hatred, like a demon crawling out of hell.
"Are you here to see me laugh? Are you satisfied with my fall from grace?"
Su Man was surprised. "Falling out of favor? At this point, you actually think that you ended up like this because you fell out of favor? Oh, it really makes my sister sad."
"You don't need to sow discord. If it weren't for you, if you hadn't brought that slave girl's child back to life, I would have been the queen by now!"
Because she had been crying for too long, Shu Mei'er's voice had become rough and unpleasant.
At this moment, her face was filled with longing. "The Emperor said that I am the only one in the harem who can help him. He said that as long as I can help him to remove those who have ulterior motives, he will make me the Queen."
...
Su Man shook her head. "Shu Mei'er, you are smart. But because you are too smart, your cleverness backfires. You think you are a hunter like Murong Hong, but you don't know that you, like me and the concubines in the harem, are just chess pieces. A chess piece with a little bit of sincerity."
"I don't believe it! I have done so much for the emperor, he will not let me down!" Shu Meir shouted at the top of her lungs.
"Then why were you left here without seeing the light of day?"
“…”
"Shu Mei'er, you will never be able to escape from this cold palace in your lifetime."
When Suman left, it seemed as if she took away the last light in the house.
In the darkness, Shu Meir huddled by the bed, crying and laughing at the same time.
"No, the Emperor won't forget me. He promised me that as long as he gets rid of those who have ulterior motives, he will take me back."
"The Emperor will definitely take me back, back to Fenfang Palace. No, it's Kunning Palace. I'll be the Empress soon, hahahahahaha."
Shu Meier laughed loudly. She seemed to see herself wearing the queen's uniform and being worshipped by thousands of people.
"I'm the Queen! I'm the Queen!"
Under the moonlight, a crazy woman kept circling in the yard, "Kneel down, all of you, kneel down, kneel down!"
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty, you are here. Are you here to take me away? Are you here to pick me up?"
Shu Meier stretched out her hand towards the void, "Your Majesty, please take me away quickly. I can't live like this for another day."
"Your Majesty! Don't leave!"
Shu Meir kept chasing, trying to grasp the non-existent hope.
Until she fell into a dry well and shattered the illusion.
-
"Sister, look, there are potatoes planted here." Rong Fei said excitedly, pointing to a spot on the ground.
Concubine Song became excited and said, "It's just right to dig it out and have it as dinner."
"Yeah, dinner for tonight is settled."
Su Man, who was not far away, looked at them with a speechless expression, "Didn't Qi Bai just deliver the food? Isn't the fat chicken, fat duck, and braised pork trotters enough for you guys?"
Concubine Li, who had just joined the potato-digging team, turned back in her busy schedule and said, "It's just like any other day in the palace. Now that we're here, we should follow the local customs."
Looking at the concubines searching for wild vegetables everywhere, Su Man shook her head helplessly. It seemed that these concubines treated the cold palace as a farm stay.
After digging the potatoes, they found some wild vegetables from somewhere and ran to the open space to make a fire, intending to roast the potatoes.
Seeing Concubine Li getting angry, Su Man finally couldn't help but pull her up, "Sister, you should also take care of your body."
Concubine Li finally realized that she was pregnant with another baby. She looked at the smoking fire reluctantly, "But it will soon catch fire."
Su Man looked at her quietly without saying a word.
After a while, Concubine Li was defeated. She clapped her hands and said, "Alright, alright, I won't play anymore."
