"Chu Xia, I don't dare to expect too much. I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do. I just hope that you can help me realize this dream of life and marry me and be my wife. Even if it's only for a day? Or an hour...

…”

The rest of the words were blocked by Chu Xia. When she heard him say these words, her heart suddenly felt sour. She couldn't help but moved her lips to meet him and blocked his next words with her kiss. Her eyes felt sour and tears poured out.

, she felt a salty bitterness between their kissing lips and tongues.

Jing Yuan's back suddenly stiffened, and it took him a long time to react. He didn't expect Chu Xia to kiss him back. This was the first time she took the initiative to kiss him. After the shock, there was endless ecstasy, and she hugged him tightly with both hands.

Her petite body kissed her back passionately. At this moment, nothing mattered, only each other. Even if tomorrow was the end of the world, they would hold each other's hands tightly and never let go.

Is this love? Why is her heart beating so fast? Now that she thinks of that lingering kiss, she can't help but feel a fever on her face and her heart beats faster.

When she opened her eyes in the morning, she couldn't see him by her side. She felt a little lost inexplicably. It seemed like she was getting used to having him by her side. It turned out that it wasn't just him who couldn't bear to part with her, but she seemed to be stuck in it too. Is this feeling good?

After getting up, Qiu Ju and the others dressed her up briefly. Seeing that the weather outside was nice, Chu Xia wanted to go out for a walk.

Seeing that the master was about to go out, Qiu Ju hurriedly followed her and asked, "Madam, where are you going? The emperor will come over soon after finishing his work. Seeing that you are not here, I should worry again."

Chu Xia thought that they were afraid of her, afraid that she would run away again.

"Don't worry, I'm just strolling around the Royal Garden, I won't run away."

"Well, Xia He and I will accompany you. Chuntao and Dongmei will stay here. If the emperor comes, we will rush to report it." Qiu Ju arranged all this, walked to Chu Xia's side, and reached out to support her.

.Decided to follow her no matter what this time. This was also arranged by the emperor. If another accident happens this time, I'm afraid they won't have it so easy.

Chu Xia naturally understood what they were thinking and let them follow her. She wouldn't run away again anyway.

This harem is indeed much more deserted than the bustling place before. Without those warblings and swallows, the people in the palace are performing their duties, as if everyone is surrounding her. This kind of gathering of three thousand people's love and affection

The feeling didn't seem to be very good. She thought that if she married in the future, she would marry an ordinary person. She didn't need to be rich, just enough money. The important thing was to love each other and stay together for a lifetime.

But she never expected that she would meet the emperor now, and a man from ancient times.

Unknowingly, I arrived at Ximeng Palace. This place used to be so prosperous. I was the only one in the harem. Who didn't look up to her? She probably never dreamed that she would be where she is today. How many days would the emperor's favor last?

Suddenly I thought of Zhao Menger. She was not bad in the first place, but was she forced by the environment, or turned into hatred because of love? It was jealousy that blinded her eyes, causing her to step into the endless abyss, and she was ultimately doomed. If she hadn't met him at the beginning,

Maybe her life will be happy.

"Qiu Ju, do you know where Zhao Meng'er is being held?"

Qiu Ju was startled and asked with a puzzled face: "Master, why are you asking her? Is she in the cold palace now?"

"I want to go see her." Chu Xia's tone suddenly became a little heavy.

Qiu Ju and Xia He both looked disapproving and said displeasedly: "Master, why are you seeing her? Besides, you and the emperor are getting married now. It's unlucky to go to a place like that."

"That's right, that kind of person should fend for herself. I feel uncomfortable when I see her."

Chu Xia naturally understood their feelings. It was not that they were adding insult to injury, but that they were really resentful.

"Human beings are inherently kind in the beginning. She couldn't help herself to become what she is today. She only blames herself for falling in love with someone else. If you go get more bedding and supplies, I guess that place won't be much better."

Xia He was about to speak angrily, but Qiu Ju stopped him. The two of them obeyed the order and went about their business.

The so-called Cold Palace has only been seen on TV. I have traveled through time twice, but I have never really seen it. Standing here now, it really feels eerie.

Xiao Dezi hurriedly opened the door for his master from behind, and a strange smell suddenly hit his nostrils. Chu Xia choked and almost turned around and walked away.

That's not all. There was just a buzzing sound, like a swarm of giant wasps, and a group of people sprang out from it. To be precise, they were a group of crazy women. All of them had disheveled hair, tattered clothes, and the dirt on their faces had already been covered.

His true face.

This group of people rushed toward Chu Xia in a swarm, calling the emperor in a whisper. Fortunately, she hid quickly, otherwise these women would have pounced on her.

Xiao Dezi saw that it was not good, so he hurriedly stepped forward and blocked the group of crazy women back, and Chu Xia walked inside smoothly.

"Who are these women? Why are there so many women in the cold palace?" It's like a hodgepodge. How did Jing Yuan make the harem like this? Didn't all the women get sent away by him? Chu Xia said she didn't understand.

.

"My dear, you don't know something. These women were once the concubines of the emperor's harem. I don't know how they offended the imperial concubine and got them here." Xiao Dezi had just settled the group of women and was sweating profusely.

, rushed over to report truthfully.

Xia He snorted coldly when he heard this, "She deserves it. She used to be arrogant and domineering, and brought others here just because she was afraid that they would threaten her status. But she didn't expect that one day she would fall to this point, right? This is retribution.

."

As soon as he finished talking about retribution, before Chu Xia could speak, a scream came from inside. The screams continued one after another, making people shudder.

I took two hurried steps towards the place where the sound came from. What I saw was really horrible. I saw several women surrounding one woman, and they were brutally abusing her. Some of them were pulling out hair, and some were stripping off clothes.

Some even punched and kicked her.

These women seemed to have a deep grudge against her and wanted to kill her. They also felt that letting her die happily would give her an advantage.

"Zhao Meng'er, I didn't expect you to be here today, right?"

"That's right, you are really doing your own thing. Where is your majesty? Where is your domineering power? Aren't you the one who wants to be the queen?"

"Is it just her? Back to the Queen, she is not even worthy of carrying the Queen's shoes."

Those people were beating and scolding, which was not enough. Chu Xia also heard from their words that the woman on the ground who was beaten so miserable that she was beyond recognition was Zhao Meng'er. Just as those people said, the wind and water change, sowing evil causes.

There will be bad consequences.

When Qiu Ju and Chuntao saw her like that, they gritted their teeth in hatred, but now they couldn't express their hatred anymore. The pain she endured today probably wouldn't be better if she died.

"Stop it all!" Xiao Dezi shouted in a sharp voice.

When the women heard this, they all paused. After all, in this cold palace, there were usually few outsiders coming, so of course they were curious when someone suddenly spoke.

I saw a woman in purple standing next to the father-in-law. She was wearing light palace clothes and had no complicated jewelry on her head. She looked pure and simple, but she gave people an approachable attitude.

"Who are you? Were you sent here too? Find a place by yourself?" A woman who looked like a big sister put one foot on Zhao Meng'er's back, put her hands on her hips, and glanced at them.

, based on her many years of experience here, who did this woman offend? She was sent here.

"Bold, this is the future empress, why don't you come over to see her?" Xiao Dezi scolded them as he was a little jealous of others.

When those people heard this, they were all startled, with disbelief written on their faces. They had been locked up here for a long time, and they didn't know much about the things outside. They just heard that the emperor was going to have a queen, but they didn't expect it to be her. caset

The woman who was lying on the ground like mud trembled when she heard these words. Her whole face was buried in the ground, and her expression could not be seen clearly. Only her bloody hands were tightly clenched into fists.

"Forget it, I'm not the queen yet, so I don't need to salute." Chu Xia was not one to abide by palace rules, and she didn't like those red tapes.

Those women looked at Chu Xia carefully from top to bottom. Suddenly, someone rushed over, knelt in front of Chu Xia, and shouted excitedly: "Mother, please help us out? We were all framed by this woman.

."

"Yes, empress, you are the future queen, and you will definitely win the emperor's heart. Please save us. We promise to stay safe after we leave and never dare to compete with you for favor."

"Your Majesty, we are all girls from good families. It's very sad to be sent to the palace and leave our hometown. This hateful woman has framed us in this place for her own selfish purposes. Please save us.

?We promise to be grateful to you for the rest of our lives.”

Seeing one kneel down, they all knelt down. This may be their only chance. They really don't want to stay in this expensive place for another quarter of an hour. They are all that hateful woman, so they hate her to the core.

.

Chu Xia saw that all of them were in their prime and had not made any big mistakes. If they were locked up here for the rest of their lives, wouldn't their lives be ruined?

After thinking about it, she softened her heart.

"Will you all get up first? I will tell the emperor about this and ask him to agree to let you go home. You will have to walk your own way from now on."

When they heard this, they were overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed to express their gratitude. "Thank you, empress. Thank you, empress. We will never forget your great kindness." They no longer had extravagant hopes of going back to be concubines. After experiencing so many things,

They have seen a lot and no longer have the expectations they had when they first entered the palace. Now, for them, being able to be free and go home to honor their parents is the greatest happiness. How can they not be moved by this and how can they not be grateful to Liu

Tears.

"You all go out first, I want to talk to her." Chu Xia looked at Zhao Meng'er on the ground and said lightly.
