74, [1 more] Abandoned concubine in the cold palace (1)
Chu Xiang left the previous world and arrived at a new place in the blink of an eye.
Thirsty, hunger, and hot all over her body made her very uncomfortable. She heard the sobs next to her, opened her eyes slightly, and turned her head to look over.
A little palace maid in rags immediately said in surprise: "Empress! Empress, are you awake? Are you getting better?"
Chu Xiang opened his mouth, his throat was too dry and he didn't say anything.
The little palace maid hurriedly said, "Empress, wait, I will get the water." After that, she got up and ran out. After a while, she brought some water with a broken half gourd ladle, and struggled to help Chu Xiang raise his head and feed the water to her mouth.
Chu Xiang saw the calm soil in the water and subconsciously frowned. The little palace maid choked and said, "Empress, this is... the rainwater received by me. You, bear it a little. Those bastards are unwilling to send water. I really can't find the water."
Chu Xiang turned his head and drank the rainwater simply. What is a little rainwater? What has she not experienced?
She likes to enjoy it, but when there is no condition, she can bear any sin, otherwise how could she live for so long?
The rain relieved the pain in Chu Xiang's throat. The little palace maid took out a veil that was wet by the rain, folded it neatly and carefully placed it on her forehead, and asked softly: "Empress, are you getting better? You scared me after you let me go. They don't allow me to hire an imperial physician. I am incompetent and can only watch the empress suffer. I can't do anything, Empress..."
Chu Xiang raised his hand and said weakly: "It's okay, I feel much better. I want to sleep for a while, so you can rest."
Seeing her so haggard and weak, the little palace maid kept falling tears and nodding while tucking her quilt, "Empress, sleep, I am waiting for you next to me. If you feel uncomfortable, call me, don't bear it yourself."
Chu Xiang closed her eyes, and the broken quilt emitted a strong smell of mold, filling her nose. She endured and focused on absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. It took almost half an hour to lure the energy into her body, making herself feel better.
This world still cannot be cultivated. There is a little more spiritual energy than the first two worlds, but it is only a little more. It is of no use except that it can make the body healthier and have a better appearance and figure.
Fortunately, this little spiritual energy solved her urgent need. Otherwise, as her identity as a abandoned concubine in the cold palace, someone maliciously made things difficult for her and was not allowed to heal her, she might not have survived tonight.
After the spiritual energy entered the body, Chu Xiang guided the spiritual energy to circulate in the body and carefully nourished her body. Her fever gradually subsided. The little palace maid was extremely surprised when she found out. She gently took off the wet veil from her forehead, then changed the wet clothes on her body and hung them on the torn table. Of course, the newly changed clothes were also torn, and each of them only had two sets of clothes.
After finishing all this, the little palace maid slowly sat on the small wooden stool beside the bed, leaned against the bed and looked at Chu Xiang's situation. She couldn't hold on anymore, so she lay down and closed her eyes.
When Chu Xiang heard her movements, he slowly merged with the original owner's memory. This is a dynasty that she had never heard of, the Daxia Dynasty.
The Daxia Dynasty unified the territory of the seven countries three hundred years ago, and its national strength was very strong. However, it was passed down from generation to generation and the court was already in a state of great difficulty. Several rebel troops emerged from this emperor, openly opposing the emperor, which made the people live a very uneasy life.
Emperor Li Xiao was a foolish monarch who did not love the court and only liked to squander the wealth left by his ancestors. He sat on the dragon throne high above, watching everything in the world as if it were fun. Even the war between the rebels and the court made him laugh.
He was still a tyrant, and he had all the loyal and unpleasant ministers who were advised to the court. The ministers left behind either kept silent or completely obeyed him, which made the court very ridiculous and corrupt officials everywhere.
The original owner was the daughter of the prime minister, with a beautiful face. He was the leader of the four concubines when he entered the palace and was quite favored by the emperor. She had been in the palace for a year, and nothing unexpected happened. A few days later, the emperor should have named her the imperial concubine.
But an accident happened in the palace. Huiyun, the close-fitting palace maid next to the original owner, seduced the emperor. He didn't know how to win the emperor's favor and severely suppressed the original owner.
This emperor is a person who likes to be able to praise people to heaven, but does not like to throw them into the military camp as a military prostitute. His new love hates the original owner, and the emperor is happy to coax the new lover. He followed Huiyun's wishes and punished the original owner several times and then drove her into the cold palace.
The prime minister naturally had to stop him, but when did the emperor hear the words of his ministers? He asked someone to randomly fabricate several serious crimes and directly put the prime minister's family in prison, and only waited for the New Year to be exiled.
Huiyun was named Hui Concubine, and asked the palace servants to make things difficult for the original owner. They did not give food, water, ragged clothes, and moldy quilts were specially invited to humiliate the original owner. Hui Concubine turned over and regarded the past as a shame, and enjoyed bullying the original owner.
Concubine Hui is now favored, and no one in the palace dares to make her unhappy. The original owner only had an incompetent palace maid Zi Yu, who was tortured in the cold palace a few days later. Chu Xiang happened to take this body and sent her soul away. Before leaving, the original owner begged her to save her family. It is unfair that she will suffer this inexplicable disaster, so why does it still implicate her whole family?
Chu Xiang's soul was very compatible with this body, and she agreed without hesitation. Now she had to find a way to go out of the cold palace and escape from the identity of the abandoned concubine to rescue the prime minister's family. It is difficult to accomplish this, and the first step is to solve the problem of hunger.
Chu Xiang carefully nourished her body with spiritual energy for an afternoon, and finally got up. When night fell, she held the bed and sat up. Zi Yu, who was dozing off, woke up and hurried over to help her, "Empress, you are much better, but what else is there to feel uncomfortable?"
Chu Xiang put on his shoes and waved his hand, "I'm much better. Don't call me Empress in the future. We will be punished if someone hears it."
"Yes, master." Zi Yu lowered her head, put on Chu Xiang's coat, and tears fell silently to the ground.
Chu Xiang smiled and said, "What are you doing? It's not until the time of despair, but our road is still long."
Zi Yu choked and said, "Master, Prime Minister... Who else can save you now? Otherwise, I will help you run out and stop the emperor and ask for mercy with the emperor. The emperor has always been very kind to you, and maybe he can get a glimmer of life?"
Chu Xiang thought of the emperor and sneered, asking her to make the dog emperor happy? Dreaming!
She can bend and stretch, but she is not interested in competing for favor and pleasing the dog emperor without any last resort. Try other methods first, but if it really doesn't work, she also needs to find a way to turn the emperor into a pug at her feet.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zi Yu thought she was upset, so she helped her dress and went to open the window to ventilate. Chu Xiang followed her to the window, looked at the dilapidated garden outside, and said, "Has the rain stopped?"
"Yes, Master, do you want to drink water? I took some rain."
Chu Xiang shook his head, "Go out for a walk and find out what you can eat."
Zi Yu quickly stopped him, "Master, you are just a little more healthy and should not be tired. You are resting in the house, so I will go out to find him."
"Let's go together. I don't know how long I will stay here. I always have to get used to these." Chu Xiang put his clothes together and walked out first.
There was a lot of water in the ground, and Zi Yu supported her with some concern, and walked around the puddle slowly in the yard.
The yard is large, but very desolate, with only a few trees and many weeds. The yard door is locked with chains outside, and a very small door is opened on the door to deliver food and clothing. However, no one even gave them these, so the small door was naturally locked.
Chu Xiang walked around the yard, searched carefully, and finally found a small wild fruit bush.
Zi Yu said in surprise: "Master, there are fruits here! I was blocked by the weeds, but I didn't notice it." She squatted on the ground and picked a fruit and put it in her mouth, "I will try it. If nothing happens, my master will not have to go hungry."
Chu Xiang took back the spiritual energy of the fruit. In fact, this spiritual energy is still useful. At least it can be used to try out whether the things are harmful. Feeling gentle is good, and feeling rejection is harmful. She already knew that the fruit was fine, and she said angrily: "Don't be so impulsive in the future. If something happens to you, wouldn't I be the only one left?"
Zi Yu smiled, "I'm just too anxious. Master, you haven't eaten for two days, so you must be hungry." She touched her stomach and said, "Master, this fruit seems to be fine. I don't feel uncomfortable at all, but the fruit is a little astringent."
Chu Xiang nodded, "Pick all the fruits, let's take them back and eat them."
"Yes." Zi Yu knelt on the ground, wrapped her skirt, and carefully picked the fruits.
Chu Xiang went elsewhere to look and found a broken place on the wall among the pile of weeds. The stones were loose. She pushed and a few stones fell down and became a hole that could climb out.
Chu Xiang squatted at the entrance of the cave to clean up the stones, and looked out. There was a small road outside, very remote, and there was no one. It was already dark and there was no lantern. She thought for a while, got up and helped Zi Yu take the fruit back together, and said, "I'll go outside to take a look late at night."
Zi Yu said in surprise: "How can this be done? If someone discovers it, Concubine Hui will take the opportunity to execute you! Master, what do you want to do when you go out? Just tell me to do it, and you must not take risks."
Chu Xiang ate a fruit and looked out the window and said, "I can't stay here and sit and wait for death. My father and mother are still waiting for me to save them. I want to go out and see if I can think of a solution. It is useless to let you go."
Zi Yu wanted to persuade her again. Chu Xiang raised his hand to stop her and looked at her and said, "At this point, we can't make a mistake. What I need is not a loyal and willing to die for me. I can't wait for God to favor her. I have to find a solution by myself. Do you understand?"
Zi Yu is just a palace maid. She is already desperate about the current situation and can't think of any possibility of turning the tables. She just feels that with her master's attitude as a celestial being, she may also make the emperor change his mind.
She didn't understand what Chu Xiang wanted to do, but she couldn't help and didn't want to cause trouble. She nodded quickly and promised: "I understand, I will only listen to your orders from my master."
"You stay here tonight. If someone comes, you will find a way to cover it up for me. I will come back as soon as possible."
“Yes, Master.”
Chu Xiang ate some fruits and drank some rain, and finally felt full. She asked Zi Yu to rest in the house. She crawled out of the hole in the wall, distinguished the direction from the starry sky, and walked towards the north in the dark.
