For the next ten days, Xi Helan went to Changle Palace on time after lunch every day, made shaved ice under the scorching sun, and went back until dinner time with his hands and feet stiff and drenched.
I don't know if it was because I wanted to torture her on purpose. The ice cubes were frozen so hard, but the tool given to her was just a small shovel. In addition, under the sun, the ice melted very fast. She needed a moment. She kept moving, as long as she was a little slack or the ice cubes turned into ice water, she would be slapped by sandalwood.
However, the sandalwood only stayed with her for two days and became impatient. After all, standing outside the house on a hot day was no better than standing in the cool hall, even though the place where she was standing didn't get any sun at all, so she put This matter was handed over to the second-class maid Liu Yun, who was always unpleasant to her eyes.
Liu Yun is an embroidery girl who just entered the palace this year. She was favored by Gao Baoxi because of her outstanding embroidery work and exquisite mind. She came to Changle Palace as an exclusive embroidery girl, but it didn’t take long for her kindness, enthusiasm, intelligence and sensitivity to capture a In the hearts of all the people in the palace, even Xiangyun, who has a very high vision, likes her very much, and finally became a second-class palace maid in less than two months.
However, Liu Yun and Xiangtan are very different from each other. The reason is that Xiangtan is very mean and unkind, loves to take advantage of small things, and is very harsh to all the maids in Changle Palace. However, she was arguing endlessly with her. Under the anger of Xiangtan, when she found an opportunity, she would harass Liuyun, but her mind was not flexible enough, and she was always seen and corrected. She was even more angry, and she wanted to put Liuyun to death. Liu Yun was not to be outdone in his counterattack. Gradually, the two became deadly enemies.
On this day, Xi Helan returned to his dormitory from Changle Palace as usual. After eating something hastily, he washed up and went to bed, and fell asleep shortly after touching the pillow.
[Ding! The host has not progressed on the mission for 60 days. The first stage of punishment is executed: lightning strikes 5 times, and the execution starts after the countdown to five breaths. ]
In the middle of the night, Xi Helan, who was in a daze, suddenly heard a familiar voice ringing in her ear, but she was too tired to open her eyes, she snorted in dissatisfaction, turned over and went back to sleep.
Who knew that in the next moment, she felt a sudden electric current spread all over her body, hitting her limbs and bones, and she couldn't help curling up tremblingly in pain.
She wanted to open her mouth and shout in pain, but her throat was numb for a while, and then she felt a cold air with a thorn-like pain rushing up to her forehead, and her scalp was numb, as if using a human The silver needle pierced the acupuncture point, and her facial features were twisted in pain. She held both hands tightly, and the sharp nails stabbed into the palm of her hand, and bright red blood slowly flowed out, but she seemed to feel no pain. squeeze tighter...
[Preparation for the second lightning strike, 3, 2… ]
Xi Helan listened to the countdown, and her heart suddenly raised high. The only reason she had left told her that no one should find out about this. When the lightning strike came, her heart was ruthless, and she closed her eyes and bit her quilt.
A sharp pain hit the whole body, the pain pierced into the bone marrow like a silver needle, her body twitched under the quilt, as if there was a raging fire in her body, and a burning like hot water poured from her throat. Feeling that, under the splitting headache, Xi Helan held her hands and tapped her head vigorously. If she hadn't been completely weak, she even wanted to slam her head into the wall.
Wenqing and Zhener, who were vigilant outside the house, heard the sound and ran in quickly. Seeing their master's crazy behavior, they were frightened.
Xihelan was enduring the last lightning strike, and she was in extreme pain. The voices of the two of them made her roll in pain on the bed like a magic sound, and her throat made a muffled sound like an animal dying.
Wenqing and Zhen'er were in a hurry and didn't know what to do. Just when the two of them could not help crying and went to the imperial doctor, the punishment was finally executed. Xi Helan gasped and grabbed Zhen'er, her lips trembling With a broken voice: "No, don't go... Otherwise, I will never go around you."
When she said this, her eyes were flushed, but her face was pale. Those fierce eyes were like a ghost, and Wen Qing and Wen Qing felt infinite fear in their hearts, and knelt down with trembling all over.
Although the punishment was over, Xi Helan was still trembling with pain all over her body. The beads of sweat on her forehead continued to fall, soaking her clothes and quilt cover, and cold air permeated through her stiff skin. Spreading it into her body, she couldn't help thinking of the lightning strike Hanmang just now.
After resting for a while, she endured the discomfort and let Wenqing and Wenqing bring hot water in to wash and change her clothes, and then lay back on the bed. , only the head still seems to be aching.
Xi Helan waved his hand to let the two go down, frowned and called out the system. She lost consciousness because of the pain before, and she couldn't hear what it said at all. She only vaguely remembered that a bullet box jumped out after the punishment was over.
[The first stage of punishment is over. If there is no mission progress within the next 30 days, the second stage of punishment will be carried out: 8 times of thunder and lightning. ]
Xi Helan sighed deeply, staring at the top of the bed with red bloodshot eyes, and began to calculate in his heart.
On the second day, Xi Helan didn't get up until near noon. After eating a little something to cushion her, she went to Changle Palace, but she suffered a great loss of spirit last night. After about 100 servings, she was dizzy. It was really ugly, so she quietly had someone give her a bowl of sugar water, and thought that the imperial concubine and the concubines had accompanied the queen mother to the Wanfo Temple in the suburbs yesterday to worship the Buddha, and it would take six days at the earliest to come back, so he handed her another message, Let her make about 200 servings and go back to rest.
Xi Helan smiled gratefully, but she planned to use her as a breakthrough, not only to earn points for the next arrangement, but also to take revenge on Xiangtan.
When she went back that night, she made a detailed plan, and then subconsciously began to find relatively simple people in Changle Palace to talk to, often telling interesting stories, and at the same time actively building a good relationship with Liuyun, which soon won everyone's attention. good feeling.
Even when Xiangtan accompanied Gao Baoxi back and kept looking for trouble for her, she still managed to create a strong and weak role of a poor little white lotus, which not only made everyone more sympathetic to her, but also deepened their hatred for Xiangtan. Liu Yun is also very protective of her, as if there is a tendency to regard her as a close friend.
Two days later, Xi Helan was making shaved ice in the yard, and when he looked up, he saw Liu Yun with a bitter face, and came out of the room with his brows furrowed. The pleasing thing was handed over to Liuyun. She rolled her eyes and smiled without a trace, and immediately returned to normal. She pulled Liuyun and asked suspiciously: "Sister Liuyun, why are you frowning? Exhibition, what's the trouble?"
Liu Yun lowered his eyes and looked at the food box in his hand, and said angrily: "Niangniang asked Xiangtan to send this farewell meal to the ladies on duty in the Lenggong, saying that the niangniang asked them for a token for leaving the palace, which is considered to be The last meal in the palace is consummation only if it has a beginning and an end, but Xiangtan pushed it to me."
"It's not difficult." Xi Helan said in a daze, seeing Liu Yun's shocked expression, she asked in confusion, "Sister Liu Yun, what kind of expression do you have? Is there something I don't know about?"
"That's a cold palace. It's the place where the ghosts of all dynasties gather. Now it's close to sunset, and the yin qi is gathering. I heard people say that there are wandering spirits at night. At this point, Liu Yun couldn't help but swayed, frowned and said in a panic, "It's terrifying."
"Really?" Xi Helan murmured, but flashed in his mind the words of the rough old women who restrained him that day. They seemed to be people from the cold palace. Thinking like this, she smiled silently. , looked up and said with a smile, "I'll help you, Sister Liuyun, I've never been afraid of these things since I was a child."
In comparison, the human mind is more sinister and unpredictable.
"And I've always been curious about what the cold palace looks like. You know I like these weird things the most."
And what I'm more curious about is how to give them back a hundred times the punishment they imposed on me.
Xi Helan smiled even more happily, she reached out and took the food box in Liu Yun's hand, and said with a smile: "Sister, just fulfill one of my sister's wishes, okay?"
"Is this okay?" Liu Yun said with some emotion, "Aren't you really afraid, didn't you do it to help me?"
"No, I'm really not afraid." Xi Helan patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, I will definitely appear in front of you tomorrow."
"Well then, I'll leave this to you." Liu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, finally smiled, leaned closer to her and whispered, "I'll prepare sour plum juice for you tomorrow."
…
Xi Helan slowly pushed open the door of the cold palace and walked in. A few old ladies, who she would never forget, were sitting around the small wooden table in front of the hall while eating and chatting. When she saw the visitor wearing a simple palace maid's uniform, a few The person shouted loudly: "Who are you? What are you doing here? Don't you know this is a forbidden place?"
"Hello, aunties, my servant Jinghui, I came here on the order of the noble concubine to send you the palace token and farewell meal. The lady said that this was specially ordered by the imperial kitchen to thank you for your help before." Xihe Lanchui He bowed his head obediently and put the token and food box on the table.
"It turned out to be Miss Jinghui, please take a seat." A few people looked at the token, and their joy was beyond words. They quickly got up and greeted her, poured her a cup of tea, and grabbed two silver bills and stuffed them into her arms. He smiled and said, "Thank you Miss Jinghui for this trip. There is nothing good to entertain you in the cold palace. If you don't have any respect, please thank the mother-in-law on behalf of the mother-in-law."
Xi Helan took the silver note with a smile, and said, "You're welcome, aunts, let's have dinner first, and the slaves can go back and answer."
"Yes yes yes." A few people opened the food box diligently, put the dishes on the table, and ate while tutting their tongues. past.
The author has something to say: The estimation failed~~ I thought that today I could have the male and female protagonists appear, but it turned out to be another chapter of the female supporting role. I seriously thought about it for a long time. The content of this chapter is really indispensable, so I still wrote it like this. Come out, if you don't see the hero and heroine that disappoints you, please forgive me~~
I know that there are many treasures just to watch the interaction between the male and female protagonists, but the supporting roles are also indispensable. The most important thing is that in this world I set, it is not the male and female protagonists who promote the changes in the female supporting roles, but Gao Guifei and her palace maids, so There are no male and female protagonists, I promise that the male and female protagonists will come out tomorrow to sprinkle candy, please don't give up on me! ! !
