"From where?" What surprised her even more was this.

As for where it came from, I thought, it would be better not to say, but to control the whole body as soon as it was moved. I don't want so much trouble, so good deception would be better.

Laughing softly, "Grandma, I found it outside the door. It was probably delivered last night. I'll plant it quickly, and it'll look even better than that one. "

"Who sent it?" Chen mama asked in a low voice. Looking at my expression, she suddenly sank. With a dark face, he looked at me and said, "Ni Chuxue, don't move first. Tell me honestly, how did you get this Heavenly Jewel?"

Startled by her appearance, I blinked my sleepy eyes and said, "I found it at the door."

"Hmph." She sneered, her gaze as sharp as a knife. Ever since I entered the cold palace, this is the first time I've seen her expression. "Ni Chuxue, I thought you were different. So that's how you were. Tell me honestly, did you want to kill esteemed Ning Xiaoyao?"

I opened my mouth. I was a little surprised. Why did I want to kill Esteemed Empress Ning just like that? If it wasn't for me thinking about her, I wouldn't have begged for help and made the crown prince laugh. I even said that I owed him a favor.

"You're trying to lie to me. Ni Chu Xue is still too young. Don't even think about hitting Ning Fei's principles in front of me." She spread open her wings, wanting to protect Ning Xiaoyao so that not a drop of water would touch her.

I had a rough idea of what she meant, and I could only sigh. Senior Servant Chen really didn't care and had insufficient strength. Her wings were already useless, wanting to protect her, but she was already old.

I shook my head. "Chen mama, Chu Xue swears that she didn't mean it that way, and she never thought about it that way."

She laughed coldly: "Then where did this Heavenly Jewel come from, do you think I don't know? There are only three stalks in the palace, and I know clearly where they are. "

"Are you still not telling the truth? Who instigated you to take it, and when that time comes, you will be convicted of stealing from another Heavenly Jewel?" She spoke a little breathlessly and sharply.

The reason why she said all these angry words was for the sake of Ning Concubine. There's too much trouble in the palace, and even collecting things requires endless thoughts. I never thought that I'd be able to think of that. Otherwise, Senior Servant Chen would not have told me to plant it here, even I would have driven it away. I looked at her and whispered, "Senior, it's not someone who put it at the door. It's … I asked the crown prince for it."

She stood there for a long time without saying a word.

I took a deep breath and said softly: "Chu Xue knows the crown prince, so when I went to fetch water yesterday morning, I met the crown prince. Chu Xue asked him to help me find a Heavenly Jewel. "Mammy, you can find a maid and find out why the Crown Prince came to find me the night before yesterday. In fact, Chu Xue doesn't know why the Crown Prince came to find me either. I know him well and he has many twists and turns." "I said gently, and it was really hard for me to tell him what happened that night." I don't know where to start, but it's really amazing that a palace maid like me knows the crown prince, so I just thought that it was someone else who left it at the entrance. "

Seeing that there was still disbelief on her face, I raised my hand. "If I, Ni Chu Xue, am to lie, I am willing to be beaten by the heavens …" Before I could finish, Senior Servant Chen stopped me.

"Mammy, do you believe me?" I didn't think she would believe me that quickly.

She sighed and said: "If it wasn't for him, who else could have gotten this Heavenly Jewel? "There are only three stalks in the palace. One belongs to Imperial Concubine Ning, one to Imperial Concubine Ping, and the other to the Emperor. Anyone who dares to ask for one will get one from Imperial Concubine Ping, and I spent the entire day kowtowing outside Imperial Concubine Ping's palace. If it wasn't for the crown prince, no one would want it."

I was surprised. "Grandma, I don't know about such a precious item." Why would Ning Fei from the Cold Palace also have one?

"There are some things that you don't understand. Alright, I was wrong about you. Chu Xue, wake up with this kind of thing and pour some water over it."

We worked together to dig the pit in the same place, pushing the soil down with our hands. There was a kind of deep and comfortable feeling coming from the pit. It was good that we didn't have to worry about anything in the future.

"Momo, don't you ask me why I know the crown prince?" I think anyone else would have asked.

I probably treated her as a family member, and I didn't feel any respect for her when I spoke.

She smiled lightly and said, "Ah, Chu Xue, you are an intelligent woman. You have your limits."

I smiled. "Why did Grandma praise me?"

"Girl, the salt I eat is more than the rice you eat." She smiled and spoke happily.

I nodded. She was very easy-going, getting better and better, so people have to communicate with each other before they can be harmonious. If you treat people well, they will naturally treat you well.

When the sun rose, a golden light that was thirty thousand feet long pierced my eyes so hard that I couldn't open them.

Senior Servant Chen looked at my flushed face and touched my forehead with the back of her hand. I'm afraid I've gotten chills. "

I nodded. "Maybe. A little headache."

She sighed, "What a pity, this is the palace. The palace maids aren't qualified to be seen by the imperial physicians even if they are ill. In the palace, don't think too much. Just think of the safety of your body."

I nodded my head. Her words made a lot of sense, as well as being the vicissitudes of life that she had been serving as a servant in the palace for decades.

"Since you've caught a cold, don't wait inside. Rest for now, there's nothing to do today. I'll fry some Wind Medicine for you."

"Grandma, this way, it's not good." I shook my head.

She smiled. "This is the cold palace. There's no one watching over it. There's still some typhoid medicine that Ning Fei left behind. I'll fry some for you later."

"Thank you, mama." My heart was warm.

Since the palace maids were ill, they could only find a few medicine women with low medical skills. Moreover, the medicine they gave were all bad. If the quantity of medicine was heavy, then they could only blame their own fate.

Moments later, as Mammy was brewing the medicine, I became more and more accustomed to the smell of it, and I felt very satisfied.

"Chu Xue, are you alright?"

I smiled and shook my head. "It's nothing, just a bit chilly. Thank you for your concern."

"Then I won't be able to see you today." Her voice was filled with disappointment.

"Empress, Chu Xue is better tomorrow, and will be able to accompany the Empress tomorrow. The Empress must be happier today, and as the first snow is outside, she looks at the beautiful opening of the Heavenly Jewels, so the Empress can take a look tomorrow."

"Is that so?" she cried happily.

Chen mama's voice rose again. "That's right, esteemed Ning. The weather will turn cold in a few days, so the esteemed Empress won't be able to look at it. Tomorrow, we'll go out and take a look."

In the room, she heard Ning Xiaoyao's happy laughter.

I would rather, forever guard her simple and beautiful laughter, how beautiful, how sweet, how pure.

After a while, Senior Servant Chen brought the medicine for me to drink. Looking at my listless appearance, she said with concern, "Chu Xue, you should go back and rest for a while." There was no bed in the small room, so he couldn't even sit.

I shook my head. "Momo, you can't. A palace maid is not allowed to go back and rest. I'll go to the woods at the back. Momo has something to call me."

"Go." she said lovingly.

Esteemed Empress Ning's voice rang out again. One hand pushed open the window, the other held onto a piece of clothing. "First Snow, you have to wear more clothes."

"Aiya, my good mistress, why did you push open the window?" Chen mama cried out.

"Hehehe …" Ning Xiaoyao giggled, her clothes falling off as she closed the window.

I sucked in the faint medicinal fragrance from my clothes and my eyes started to moisten. Who said that the cold palace was so cold? Who knew how warm it was?

He found a clean place to sit down and leaned against the tree, listening to the birds singing and the wind carrying the autumn.

When I opened my eyes, a face appeared in front of me. I cried out in fear, and standing in front of me was a woman, a woman who seemed to have withered away like a ghost. Her eyes were sunken in deep, dark circles, and her eyes were blurred as she opened her bloody mouth and laughed, "Hehe.

I was panting with fear, I had nowhere to run to, and I was leaning against a tree. Her eyes widened as she looked at her. In her hand, she was holding a thick wooden stick, and her face was covered with red patches. She was so close to me that I wanted to scream.

This was definitely not a palace maid. If this was the case with a palace maid, she would be hanged or thrown out …

"Hur hur." She looked at me, still smiling.

That tree stick, once, without once tapping my head, the threat of death, dancing on top of the head.

I gritted my teeth and lightly called out to her, "Concubine Hong."

She frowned. "Do you know my name? My name is Hong Shi. "

She looked at my face again. "Why is there nothing on your face?"

She was surprisingly strong. She had one hand around my neck and the other around my neck. She had a stick in one hand and her hand was full of things that were red, swollen, and rotten.

"Not fair, not fair." She burst into tears and clutched at my neck with one hand.

It hurt so much that my mouth dropped open. Tears streamed down his face, "My concubine, I am just a palace maid."

She released some of her strength. "You are a palace maid."

I vigorously nodded my head. "Yes, I am just a palace maid. I am a palace maid that serves Imperial Concubine Ning."

Don't take me for anything, her mind is all muddled.

"When did Ning Fei get into the cold palace? She really has a companion. Say, did you break in that night? Say, did you? Under the heavy rain, you sneaked in. I saw you, I saw you." "Hehe."

I was so afraid of her. I was even more afraid of the red sores on her face. She looked like she was neither human nor ghost.

That stick struck my head. It hurt so much. I endured it. I can't say that I can't provoke her, or else, with a little force from her, I'll die in this small forest.

"No, I didn't." I said softly. I didn't even dare to look into her eyes. It was like looking at a ghost. I am looking forward to someone coming, called the red concubine.
