Chapter 1123 Book Spirit (6)
For the queen in the cold palace, every day has begun to become meaningful since she woke up.
Because her life now had a new goal and expectation. Every day, the first thing she did after opening her eyes was to immediately summon the Snow Phoenix to help her return to the Kingdom of Eternal Life and get her things back. Apart from that, she had to survive with difficulty for the rest of the time.
See, the food in the cold palace is extremely unpalatable, and the queen, who works day and night and forgets to eat, doesn't have much time to fill her stomach properly. Of course, since the queen has a meaning of survival, Moer is in a daze every day, accompanying her master, living every day in a hurry and daze.
The queen had not even had time to take a bite of the morning meal before the greedy mouse snatched it away. However, because of its greed, the mouse lost its life. It ended its life gloriously and lay peacefully next to the bowl and chopsticks.
From this we can see that the poison on the food in the plate is not an ordinary poison, but a poison that will kill people immediately once it enters the mouth. The person who poisoned the food is extremely vicious, much more vicious than the poison in the bowl, because only a vicious person would poison the food so viciously.
The Queen was tired from practicing summoning and her stomach was empty. No matter how bad the food tasted, she still had to eat. So, she put her fingertips together, raised them to her chest, then turned her hands over and downward, took a deep breath, retracted her energy, and prepared to go to the dining table to eat. Moer also turned around and prepared the dining ceremony for the Queen.
Unfortunately, the moment she turned around, she was immediately frightened. She screamed loudly and said, "Oh no! It's bad, my lady, the mouse is dead, and it died next to the bowl and chopsticks!"
Upon hearing the noise, the Queen immediately ran over to check and asked, "What's going on? Could it be that the food is poisonous?"
Moer nodded fearfully and said, "Yeah, I'll try with the silver needle!"
Sure enough, when Moer inserted the silver needle into the food, before she could pull it out, the needle had already turned black. Moer was terrified and asked tremblingly, "Who wants to kill us all? We have already been sent to the cold palace, how could such a thing happen?"
The queen slapped the table, "Pah..." The corners of her mouth trembled slightly, and a hateful look flashed in her eyes. She said, "It seems that we have to be careful when eating such a disgusting meal."
Merle: “Yeah, that’s horrible!”
At this moment, in the Imperial Concubine's Palace, all the concubines were arranged in two rows, four on the left and four on the right, a total of eight concubines, all waiting for the Imperial Concubine to appear and start paying their respects.
At that time, the Imperial Noble Consort came out. With the help of Hua'er, she slowly sat on the Imperial Noble Consort's seat. When she sat down, the eight concubines knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Greetings to the Imperial Noble Consort. May the Empress live a thousand years!" Imperial Noble Consort: "Stand up, and be seated!"
The concubine bowed and thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Then, they stood up and took their seats according to their names. The first one was the seats of the four concubines, followed by the concubines of lower ranks.
The Imperial Concubine took a sip of tea from the teacup to moisten her throat, then asked, "Dear sisters, did you all sleep well last night? I wonder who was lucky enough to receive the favor of His Majesty last night?"
The concubines who were sitting facing each other looked at each other, then looked at the people around them. No one answered, they could only lower their heads and remain silent.
It must be that no one in this silent scene was favored by the emperor.
The Imperial Concubine continued, "No one is talking. It seems that everyone is alone in their empty rooms!"
Therefore, it was unacceptable for the emperor to ignore the harem like this, so the imperial concubine began to scold all the concubines, saying, "What are you doing? If you don't serve His Majesty well, you won't be able to expand the harem. You should be smarter and pay more attention to your appearance to win His Majesty's heart."
All the concubines lowered their heads in shame. They had no ability and dared not say a word. Besides, the words of the Imperial Noble Concubine were so insincere. If anyone was favored by her, he would become the public enemy of all the concubines.
No one dared to take this risk, especially in front of the jealous Imperial Concubine.
Then, the Imperial Concubine took out the records of the concubines in the harem, flipped through them, and said, "These records are almost a year old, and there is no new notebook ink. This is not a good thing!"
The Concubine Shu, who was sitting at the head of the right seat, couldn't help but said, "If Your Majesty doesn't come to the harem to walk around, there's nothing we can do!"
Walking, this word is very good. Taking this opportunity, the Imperial Concubine pretended to remember something and said, "Oh? Walking around the harem, how come I heard that His Majesty went to the cold palace?"
All the concubines could no longer hold back and held on to the armrests of their tables and chairs, questioning each other.
"How is this possible? How could she go to the cold palace, such a dirty place?"
"Impossible, how could it be..."
"I don't know, I don't know!"
Imperial Concubine: "Enough of the chattering, Hua'er, tell us what's going on."
Huaer followed the Imperial Concubine's words and told everyone what she had seen and heard in the corridor that morning. Now, all the concubines began to be afraid of the people in the cold palace. The Imperial Concubine's goal was achieved, and someone shared this unfair treatment with her.
Everyone agreed that the deposed queen was living in the cold palace, and she must be quite capable! Suddenly, Cao'er came out from the back room, looking a little hurried, ran to the Imperial Concubine's ear, and whispered something, which frightened the Imperial Concubine so much that she turned pale and said in surprise, "What, the cold palace is enjoying the scenery?"
