Outside the Cold Palace
Empress Xian was paying respects to the eunuchs who were guarding the imperial concubine's sisters.
"My two eunuchs, you can use this money as tea money. I will go in and talk to the two sisters of the Chu family and come out soon. It won't interfere with your work. Besides you two and me and my servant, no one else knows about this. Please be kind."
The two eunuchs guarding the cold palace looked at each other.
Although they felt a little embarrassed, they also felt that what she said made sense. Moreover, this person was the Concubine Xian in the palace. Now that the Imperial Concubine was gone, the concubines in the palace were the most powerful. If they offended her, they were afraid that they could not afford to offend her.
He immediately took her money and let her in, but she could only stay there for a quarter of an hour.
But Empress Xian felt that a quarter of an hour was enough. Now that she had caught the two eunuchs with something to hold against them, it would not be difficult to get them to give way next time.
So he immediately went in with his personal maid.
The cold palace was desolate.
There were weeds everywhere, and spider webs covered the eaves, window sills and door cracks.
After looking around, Empress Xian did not see the two sisters of the Imperial Concubine outside, so she walked to the door and prepared to push it open to go in.
"Ah, Ye Jinyun, go to hell!"
Suddenly a shrill female voice rang out.
The door was knocked open from the inside.
A dirty woman rushed out, scaring Concubine Xian, who quickly turned sideways to avoid her attack.
The woman didn't knock anyone down, but she herself fell to the ground due to inertia.
He fell head over heels on the ground, and a familiar face emerged from his messy hair.
"Imperial Concubine".
Empress Xian exclaimed,
She didn't expect that in just a few months, the imperial concubine who was originally arrogant would fall into such a state.
The imperial concubine fell to the ground and was a little dazed when she heard someone calling her imperial concubine.
She hadn't heard this name for a long time, and she shed tears unconsciously, regaining some of her sanity.
She raised her head and looked at the two people standing not far away, and said hoarsely: "It's you, Concubine Xian."
Empress Xian did not forget that she had only been in there for a quarter of an hour and that she had her own purpose, so she asked her maid to quickly come forward, help her up, and take her to the room.
After entering the room, Empress Xian saw Chu Mingrou sitting on the bed and talking nonsense.
I thought to myself that it seemed that these two sisters had some problems with their brains after being locked up in this cold palace.
…
Empress Xian asked the maid to help the imperial concubine sit on the stool. She also wiped the stool in front of her with a handkerchief and sat down.
"Sister Guifei, how did you become like this? I feel so sad seeing you."
The imperial concubine had regained some consciousness now, and after hearing this she said self-deprecatingly:
"Empress Xian, you came here to see the jokes about us two sisters, right? Now that you've seen it, are you happy?"
Concubine Xian immediately stepped forward, took her hand, and pretended to be very sad and said:
"Noble Concubine, what are you talking about? How could I be that kind of person? I was just worried about you and came to visit you. I never thought you would suffer so much in this cold palace."
As he said this, he pretended to wipe away the tears he had squeezed out, and then he said:
"Sister Noble Concubine, I know it was Ye Jinyun who caused you two sisters to be banished to the cold palace by the Emperor, and caused the entire Chu family to be executed. But now Sister Noble Concubine is all alone and helpless in this cold palace, while she is deeply favored by the Emperor and is even pregnant with the heir. This really makes me feel even more unfair for you."
Upon hearing this, the imperial concubine's face twisted instantly.
"What, she's actually pregnant?
Ha ha ha ha……
Why, why is God so unfair? No, I can’t let her go. I will curse her to death and curse her and the emperor to have no descendants."
When Chu Mingrou heard this, she trembled on the bed and turned to look over here, but she said nothing, looking even more creepy than the imperial concubine.
Empress Xian was a little frightened by the sisters' reaction, so she waited until they calmed down before continuing:
"Sister Noble Concubine, Ye Jinyun has harmed you and your sister to such an extent. Naturally, we cannot let her go. However, it is useless for you to curse her like this. Why don't you help me and get rid of Ye Jinyun? What do you think?"
The imperial concubine listened quietly.
She already knew the purpose of the imperial concubine's coming here, but it didn't matter. She didn't care what her purpose was.
Because she also wanted to kill Ye Jinyun, but now that she and her sisters were imprisoned in this cold palace, how could they have the chance to get rid of Ye Jinyun.
"Empress Xian, it's not that we two sisters won't help you, but we can't even leave this cold palace, so killing her is not easy."
Concubine Xian smiled, glanced at Chu Mingrou who was looking at the two of them, and said softly: "As long as the Concubine is willing, I have my own ideas."
He whispered a few words in her ear and asked her to wait for his good news.
…
Later, Concubine Xian began to sneak in and out of the cold palace and visit the imperial concubine sisters in private.
At first, the two eunuchs guarding the cold palace did not let her in.
But Empress Xian said that they had let her in secretly when they were on duty before, and if they were to stop her this time, she would report the matter to the emperor.
When the emperor finds out, he will just reprimand her, but they will be sent to the Ministry of Punishment for dereliction of duty.
When the two eunuchs heard her say this, they were afraid that they would be discovered and would be killed, so they had no choice but to let her in. They turned a blind eye to her frequent visits to the cold palace afterwards and pretended not to know anything.
…
Late at night, somewhere in the palace.
