It's November in the palace, and the maids and eunuchs have to start making winter clothes. If they delay it any longer, they will be exposed to the cold when December arrives.
Jiang Xinyue has been keeping an eye on Shuangjiang for some time, but no suspicious person has appeared around her yet.
Magpie was impatient to wait: "My dear, that man is too calm. I bully Shuang Jiang every day, and I feel so guilty that I feel guilty."
Shuangjiang was crying during the day, and when she came back to Kunning Palace at night, the little eunuchs and maids in the palace who bullied her all brought her tea and water to make her smile.
Magpie was the first to move to Shuangjiang's house to brainwash her: "Shuang! Don't blame me, I really don't want to bully you, but that bad guy is too powerful. He didn't fall for it for so long. He deliberately wanted to see you get bullied." No matter how miserable it is, you still love me, right?"
Shuang Jiang patted her on the head every night: "Love, love, love... tell me! What cruel moves are you going to use against me tomorrow?"
"How about we come to Bo Da and force that person..."
It turns out that magpie's fierce female coquettishness is fatal.
The second day——
The female officials of the Shang Palace Bureau came to measure the clothes of the palace people, and they first started taking measurements in the palace of the emperor and the queen.
But Shuangjiang was locked in his room. When the female officials asked about it, some people said that Shuangjiang had been fasting and chanting Buddha recently, advocating frugality and not making new clothes.
Everyone in Kunning Palace knew that Shuangjiang's family was poor, and all her old clothes from previous years were sent home. Her parents and sisters all relied on her to support them in order to live a good life.
If she doesn't make a winter coat this year, she will freeze to death.
Several palace maids laughed and talked about how to tease Shuangsheng. There were many palace maids who came to have their bodies measured beside them, and they all listened to their words.
Some people think they have gone too far, but no one dares to stand up and accuse them.
The other party was from the Queen of Heaven's palace, and they were obviously ordered by Magpie. It was not easy to survive in the harem, and they didn't want to get angry.
In the palace, it is wise to protect oneself wisely.
"Get away!"
"Is this where you came from?"
Shuang Jiang was finally released from the room. By the time she arrived at the collective measurement location, the female officer from the Shang Palace Bureau had already left.
Groups of palace maids were hiding here. When they saw the frost coming, they all started yelling at each other: "Are you a traitor worthy of making new clothes?"
"My queen didn't beat you to death because she was blinded. You still slapped your nose and face. It seems that I can't do it without giving you a lesson."
Several palace maids held up Shuangsheng and dragged her to a secret corner. People around her did not dare to come forward, and some even left the scene quickly for fear of harming themselves.
"Pa bang bang..."
A palace maid took out the pigskin hidden on her chest and slapped it on the face.
Another maid stuffed cotton into Shuangjiang's mouth, and another took out red rouge and smeared it on her face.
"Where's the pigeon blood?"
"Here, here..."
After some tinkering, Shuangjiang's temples were messy, his cheeks were red and swollen, and there were bright blood stains hanging from the corners of his mouth.
In order to be realistic, Shuang Jiang used his own nails to scratch the corners of his mouth, making it look like it had been broken.
"Frost is so pitiful!"
Shuxiang often visits Kunning Palace, and her relationship with Shuangjiang is also good.
She sighed and sat with Mu Tan and complained: "Don't you think Magpie is going too far? The Queen of Heaven has already said that she believes Shuang Jiang is innocent, and our Queen has also said that it cannot be Shuang Jiang, but Magpie won't let him go. Yes, do you have to force Shuangsheng to death to be happy?"
Mu Tan also nodded: "So... could it be... In fact, Magpie is the mastermind of the Jin Kingdom? She wanted to kill the seventh prince and the third princess. Her plot failed, so she wanted to have the favor of the Queen of Heaven all to herself except Shuangsheng. , will it be easier to succeed in the future without frost getting in the way?"
Shuxiang's mouth was wide enough to fit two eggs in. She was so shocked by Mu Tan's reasoning that her jaw almost dropped: "No...impossible, right?"
Don't say this nonsense!
Magpie is the most trusted confidant of the Queen of Heaven. If she were a craftsman of the Kingdom of Jin, Mu Tan would not dare to imagine how much risk the young highnesses would face in the future.
There was no escape for Jian Shou.
"What are the two sisters talking about?"
Ye Guiren's maid came from the corridor and sat beside the two of them: "I saw it from all the way. It seems that you said something interesting?"
Mu Tan told Ye Guiren's maid Lu Xiu what he had just said to Shu Xiang: "Tell me, does my analysis make sense?"
Luxiu was almost scared to death. Her master often said that trouble comes from the mouth, and she didn't even dare to open her mouth easily.
"You girl, you are talking! Do what I say make sense?"
"this and that……"
One of them is a concubine Shu's eldest maid, and the other is a good concubine's eldest maid. Even if you get into trouble, their master can protect you.
She is just a little nobleman's maid!
How does she have the qualifications to express her position on this kind of matter?
Luxiu regretted it to death. She shouldn't have been curious about what they were talking about. As the old saying goes, curiosity killed the cat.
She smiled awkwardly and changed the subject: "I think Shuangsheng will definitely die this time. I went to get my body just now and saw several maids and sisters from Kunning Palace teaching Sister Shuangsheng a lesson! Tsk, tsk, tsk... blood was drawn from the mouth. Yes, I also heard them saying that they were going to throw Sister Shuangjiang into the dry well behind Leng Palace."
It was really scary.
How could the people in the palace be so ruthless?
Shuxiang and Mutan looked at each other, and both saw worry in each other's eyes.
If this continues, Shuangjiang will really be tortured to death.
The night is very quiet——
"Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu..."
The unknown black bird seems to be an ominous symbol, sounding the horn of death.
The cold wind of late autumn was particularly raging at night, and the sinners Shi and Tong in the cold palace started fighting again after they had a disagreement.
The screams and curses masked the movements of the cold queen.
When Shuangjiang woke up from his coma, he was eroded by a burst of cold air, and a figure vaguely appeared in front of his eyes.
There was the sound of wind and the curses between women. The top of the dry well was not covered, and a faint moonlight shone down.
"You bitch, if it weren't for you, would I have been thrown into the cold palace by the emperor?"
"You are the damn bitch. If you hadn't lured me into framing Jiang Xinyue, would I have ended up like this? How about my sisters? Are you tired of acting for so many years?"
"Who is a good sister to you? The daughter of a mere Western-grade official is worthy of being my sister. My father is the general of Zhenbei."
"Hahaha... It's so funny. Didn't you listen to the eunuch who came to deliver the meal today? The general of Zhenbei has been replaced. Your general father who can't handle things dares to threaten the emperor to let you out of the cold palace. He has been The emperor took off his armor and sent him back to his hometown. Now you are not even as good as me, just a commoner."
Even if the Tong family were dismissed from office, they would still be wealthy households in the capital. General Zhenbei only knew how to fight, but had no family background at all. He was now a commoner.
