Chapter 47: Don’t suffer in vain



The woman on the other side of the wall spoke in a hurried voice, and Zhao Yunzhu pondered secretly in her heart.

Suddenly, an idea came to me.

"I work in the Empress's palace. I made a mistake and was punished to come here to copy Buddhist scriptures."

Suddenly, a soft snort came from the other end. "It seems that Queen Liu hasn't changed in all these years. She is still a masked Bodhisattva."

"What? Do you know each other?"

"Not only do I know her, I've lived with her for decades. In this palace, no one knows Empress Liu better than I do."

There was a hint of pride in the woman's voice.

"Then why are you here?"

Judging from the woman's tone, she seemed to be very familiar with Queen Liu, and her heart was filled with curiosity.

But all she got in response was an endless silence.

"are you still there?"

She called softly toward the wall.

But the only response she got was silence.

Maybe gone.

Zhao Yunzhu thought so in her heart, turned around and was about to leave.

Suddenly, the voice came from behind again.

"Don't go, I'm still here."

Zhao Yunzhu stopped and walked back to her previous seat.

But this time, she chose to squat at the foot of the wall.

She was not anxious. She just waited quietly for the woman to speak again.

Heavy sighs were heard one after another.

From it, one can vaguely hear the lost and low voice of a woman on the other side of the wall.

"They all said I was crazy. Hahaha. They said I was a lunatic."

"They are all bad people. When I get out, I will kill them all, hahahaha."

"Kill them all, kill them all!"

The woman was sometimes lucid and sometimes crazy, making it difficult to tell whether she was really crazy.

Zhao Yunzhu was already prepared in her heart, and now she just squatted quietly aside.

"I'm telling you, I'm not crazy. I'm just pretending, otherwise my elder sister would kill me."

The woman smiled sadly.

"Sister?"

"Yes, my elder sister, Queen Liu."

Zhao Yunzhu was stunned. She had never heard that there was a concubine's daughter of the Liu family in the cold palace.

"Which daughter of the Liu family are you? How come I've never heard of you?"

In the generation of Queen Liu, the Liu family had three daughters. The eldest daughter entered the palace and became the queen, the second daughter married to Shuzhou, and the third daughter was said to have contracted a serious illness at the age of five and died overnight.

Except for Queen Liu, who was born of a legitimate wife, the other two were born of concubines.

But there is definitely no one like the one in the cold palace.

Zhao Yunzhu asked casually, not holding out much hope that she would answer.

I thought the woman would not answer, but the next second, the woman's voice came again.

"Oh, the Liu family is full of black-hearted people. I'm talking about the third young lady of the Liu family who was said to have died early."

Zhao Yunzhu frowned and was shocked.

I didn't expect that this woman turned out to be the third daughter of the Liu family. I'm afraid there is some secret hidden in her.

Just as she was thinking secretly in her heart, the voice sounded again.

"Back then, my eldest sister hadn't entered the palace yet, but my family had already made arrangements. We only needed to wait for my eldest sister to reach the age of marriage, and then she would be sent to the palace."

"It's the legitimate mother."

Miss Liu San suddenly spoke angrily. "When my aunt was favored, my mother suffered a lot of bullying. When I was five, my aunt died in childbirth, leaving me without support in the Liu family. My mother, in preparation for my sister's entry into the palace, made me her maid, waiting for her to enter the palace and assist her wholeheartedly."

"Then how can you be willing?"

As soon as she said it, she regretted it. Miss Liu San was only five years old at that time. What else could she do?

"I can't help it, for my brother."

In the end, her aunt risked her life to give birth to a bastard son for the Liu family.

"Is it Mr. Liu?"

"Um."

Then it all makes sense.

"Then why are you in the cold palace?"

"That's strange. Why am I telling you this?"

Miss Liu San laughed at herself.

It seems that she has been trapped in the cold palace for too long, or she has not acted like a normal person for too long.

So she cherishes this opportunity especially.

"Because my elder sister doesn't want to see me, she wants to kill me. In order to survive, I can only pretend to be crazy."

Miss Liu San slowly sat down against the wall.

She looked up, her gaze drifting into the distance.

It seemed as if he hoped to pass through the high palace walls and take a look at the sky outside.

"Why does Queen Liu want to kill you?"

Zhao Yunzhu has always been confused about this point. From Miss Liu San's tone, she can clearly sense that Miss Liu San is sincere when she says she wants to kill Queen Liu, and it is not just a rumor.

But this time, her only response was silence.

"are you still there?"

Zhao Yunzhu asked tentatively and waited for a long time, but still no response.

Miss Liu San had left at some point.

The dark night finally returned to peace.

She looked up at the starry sky and sighed softly.

The cold wind blew on his body, making him feel chilly. Zhao Yunzhu raised his hand to tighten his collar and quickly ran back into the house.

The next day, when someone came from the Queen's Palace to inspect, Zhao Yunzhu was carefully copying scriptures.

The housekeeper saw the huge pile of scriptures and found that Concubine Yun had only copied one.

Frowning, "Concubine Yun, the Empress has instructed that she must come to retrieve it in three days. Concubine Yun should be more attentive."

Zhao Yunzhu looked at the housekeeper's attitude, which was not very respectful.

He slowly stopped copying the scriptures, placed the brush on the inkstone, raised his eyebrows and glanced at the aunt in charge, "Aunt, I have been copying the scriptures carefully. If you are not satisfied, then aunt will come?"

She stood up and pointed to the chair she was sitting on.
