"Queen Bold, I don’t want to make progress. I will punish you for a month behind closed doors and not to step out of the palace. Concubine Liu, you and the eunuch’s private meeting has ruined the reputation of the royal family. You should immediately ask about it, thinking about your father’s merits. Beat you into the cold palace and never come out again!"

"The emperor... the emperor, the concubine is wronged, please ask the emperor to investigate it..." What is the place in Lenggong, full of gloom, and there are mice and strange cats everywhere. This is winter, and you can't freeze to death after you go. Liu Zijin didn't want to go.

Before she could finish speaking, Jing Shiye waved his sleeve and disappeared into the cold wind.

It was the same dynastic meeting again, and Jing Shiye found that these officials were more and more like to have nothing to do and talk about. He just wanted to sleep in this court.

After finally retreating, Jing Shiye turned around and left.

"The emperor, wait a minute." A voice remembered from behind, Jing Shiye turned around, and the hundreds of civil and military officials who had dispersed also turned their heads.

"I also ask the emperor to calm down his anger and release Liu Zijin, the daughter of the criminal minister." It was Concubine Liu's father Liu Taifu who spoke.

"Oh? Mrs. Liu, if it is to plead with your daughter, I don't think it is necessary. I will never regret what I have said and done. Otherwise, how can I say anything."

"Zijin is my only daughter..." Mrs. Liu began to play the sympathy card.

"After saying what I have said, is it possible that you still have some dissatisfaction?" Jing Shiye asked back.

"The emperor... the emperor calms down his anger."

After that, Jing Shiye turned around and left.No matter how Taifu Liu moved with love and reason, Jing Shiye still refused to let Concubine Liu take a half step out of the cold palace.

When something like this happened, all the ministers gathered around and discussed.Presumably, Mr. Liu personally asked Jingze to release his daughter at night and whispered for mercy would spread throughout the capital, and people would have a topic of chat after dinner.

From beginning to end, Jing Rongfeng just watched silently from the side, never said a word or made any expression.

Cold palace

Now Liu Zijin, who has been beaten into the cold palace, has only one portable maid beside him. The emperor is only allowed to bring a few close-fitting clothes, and even the headwear is completely clean.

After following the grandmother to most of the palace, Liu Zijin and the maid finally arrived at a place where ghosts were unwilling to come.The dilapidated houses, ventilated windows, dusty roofs, rickety door panels, and weed-streaked paths formed a stark contrast to the magnificent palace.

"Look what you see, let me go in!" While Liu Zijin thought about it, she became impatient and waited. As soon as the sharp voice sounded, Liu Zijin was pushed into the dark room along with the maid, and only heard The sound of locking the door.The mother had already sent in too many concubines and nobles, and at first she would comfort these poor people, but then she was used to the tricks of the concubines, even after entering this cold palace, she still looked down on people, so mother Also became insensitive.

Approaching this small courtyard, the entire muddy ground was covered with fallen leaves and pitch-black coverings, and the well on the side was already dry and smelly.Then enter the back room, here is a place to rest.

"Ah! There is someone in Rong'er!" As soon as he came in Liu Zijin saw that the bed and the quilt were black and mouldy, and there was a woman lying on the bed with disheveled hair and wrinkles.Following Liu Zijin's cry, the man raised his head and looked at her, which became even more scary.

"Hey, Huan...Welcome..." The woman spoke, and stretched out her cracked hand to greet Liu Zijin.

"I... I don't want to stay here!" screaming Liu Zijin ran out of the room, sitting alone next to the dry well.

"Mu Xunyi! You took my beloved Jing Rongfeng! I blame you! I will definitely make you restless!" Liu Zijin roared in the small courtyard alone, complaining about his dissatisfaction with the world.

When she stood up and looked at the dry well next to her, a woman in gray clothes with black hair hung on her face, and her whole body twisted and died inside...

Wangfuli

Jing Rongfeng, who had been in the early dynasty, returned to the palace, and saw Mu Xunyi talking with Zhuru from a distance.

"Rong Feng, you are back!" Seeing Jing Rongfeng walking towards him, Mu Xunyi quickly jumped over to look for him, Zhu Ru also walked away with interest.

"What are you discussing with Zhuru, I laughed so happy and a little secretive." Jing Rongfeng pulled Mu Xunyi and sat on the stone bench.

"We are discussing your old love Liu Zijin." Mu Xunyi was lying on the stone table playing with her hair, and Jing Rongfeng's words that seemed like a joke were suddenly speechless.

"Isn't she beaten into the cold palace? At first I thought that she was a bit gloat about her disrespect to me at the banquet. But then I thought that the place in the cold palace was not treated by ordinary people. A girl with a beautiful face and a beautiful appearance, so I feel sorry for her." Mu Xunyi put his head on his hand, tilted his head and looked at Jing Rongfeng."After all, she is not a poor person, there must be something hateful, Rong Feng, do you feel sorry for her?"

"As you said, poor people must be hateful, why do I feel bad?" Jing Rongfeng raised his eyebrows and looked at her funny.

At midday, the long-lost sun finally penetrated through the clouds and illuminated the entire palace.Jing Rongfeng still shut himself up in the study as usual, and Mu Xunyi took Mu Yao to wander around in the yard when he was free.

"Mother, you see this fish is almost out of hunger, come, take this fish food, let's put the food!"

Seeing Mu Xunyi so full of vitality, Mu Yao was also happy with her.

Take out the fish food in his hand and carefully take care of the group of small fish in front of him.Then Mu Yao squatted down, and a jade pendant fell from her pocket into the water.

"Ah! My jade pendant!" Mu Yao was panicked when she saw her jade pendant fell into the water.

Mu Xunyi saw her mother panic like this, knowing that it must be something unusual.Bend down, rolled up his sleeves and reached into the water to pick up the jade pendant.Several fishes were also startled, and fled quickly with their tails wagging.

"Wow, mother, your jade pendant is too good-looking! But why is it only half?" Mu Xunyi picked up the jade pendant and looked at the sun.The white jade pendant has the shape of a phoenix on the outside and half of the love in the middle.With some drops of water on it, it looks even more dazzling when placed in the sun.

"Because the other half is with your father, and his other half is in the shape of a dragon. Together, it means that the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, and it means that he will be stunned to death." Mu Yao took the jade pendant that Mu Xunyi picked up, and Mu Yao took Put the jade pendant on the palm of your hand, put your hands together on your chest.

"I really envy your love." Mu Xunyi looked at Mu Yao and said sincerely.

"Come on, Xunyi, I will give you this jade pendant now!" Mu Yao took Mu Xunyi's hand and placed the jade pendant tightly in her hand.
