Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Empty Valley (Part 1)

In the claustrophobic palace garden, it seems to be raining every day.Although I knew that someone was living with me, there was always no sound, as if I stayed for a long time, and the person became a ghost, and there was no movement. Ruyi and Xin were busy cleaning the handkerchiefs. Although they were pampered and did not work hard since they were young, they forced themselves to do it, and they could do it slowly.She and Xing Xin hurried in and out, obviously feeling that there were eyes watching them, but when they turned around suddenly, there was no one there. Ji Xin was a little scared: "My lord, is the person living here a human or a ghost?"

Ruyi forced herself to calm down, and said in a deep voice, "Of course it's a human being. How can there be ghosts in this world?" Xing Xin flipped through the bundle with some unease: "I should have prepared more candles if I knew it earlier. It's so dark here regardless of day or night, it's frightening to see." At night, the two finally cleaned up and stayed.Since there were only two candles given each day, the two of them saved them up like treasures. In addition to being tired, they fell asleep as soon as it got dark.Not long after I lay down, I felt that the quilt on my body was getting colder and colder after another, as if the wind was blowing.The wind passed freely between the beams and columns of the corridor, blowing the dilapidated window paper, creaking and shaking the window lattice, making a piercing sound that almost scratched the eardrums, snapped, and tapped again, as if knocking out of nowhere Humans are inherently uneasy.

The light of lightning suddenly lit up, and outside the broken paper window, there was a clear figure of a person passing by.Sing Xin was so frightened that she screamed repeatedly: "There are ghosts—there are ghosts—" Ruyi didn't have time to put on her clothes, so she lit a candle and suddenly opened the door, rushing outside.The fragile flame struggled weakly for a few times in the whirling wind before being extinguished.It was dark all around, only a few dilapidated palace lanterns flickering faintly, and occasional lightning across the sky, illuminating the dilapidated courtyard.

Ruyi simply threw the candlestick in her hand, and there was a piercing sound of metal rolling on the ground.Ruyi said loudly: "It doesn't matter if you are humans or ghosts, since I'm here and I can't leave, I want to stay with you even if I'm a human or a ghost. Come out and show me if you have the ability, pretending to be a ghost , do abandoned women only do such things?" Then Xin rushed out and put a coat on her body: "My lord, my lord, it's windy and it's going to rain, be careful of catching cold!" Ruyi tore off her clothes and threw them into her hands, and said sharply: "Come out if you have the ability, there is nothing to be scary! If I die here immediately, I will be better than you people who pretend to be ghosts and only watch secretly! If you want to scare me, Even if you are a ghost, you will only dodge and avoid me when you see me!"

Where the lightning flashed, several old and broken faces loomed.Ruyi had a plan in mind, turned around and went to the room to get the cakes in the package, and threw them one by one to the faces that appeared.Soon, several elderly women turned out from behind the pillars, grabbed the pastries one after another, laughed and left contentedly. Ruyi calmed down a little, and said anxiously: "My lord..." Ruyi said: "Even if it's a ghost, it's greedy for food and drink, so what's there to be afraid of?" A stern sneer slowly came out from behind the beams and pillars, Ruyi looked through the dim palace lantern, but it was an elderly woman walking slowly.Her dress is a little cleaner and more relaxed than the others, but her hair is gray, her face is wrinkled, and she looks old. She looks sixty or seventy years old.

Ruyi saw that she walked in calmly, she didn't seem to be greedy for pastries like others, and knew that this person must be unusual, so she bowed first and said, "Junior Ulanara Ruyi, greeting senior?" "Senior?" The old woman touched her face and said solemnly, "I'm the youngest?" Seeing her gloomy mood, Ruyi couldn't help but feel fearful, so he said calmly, "Since we're here, what's the use of being young and beautiful? On the contrary, we can survive through old age and longevity." "Long old age?" The woman sneered again and again, "Living in such a dark place, living would be better than dying."

A trace of hardness flashed in Ruyi's heart: "Although I said that, if the senior didn't seek death, he knew that ants are greedy for life." Although the old woman was old, there was a gleam in her eyes: "Yes, few people who came to the cold palace can survive, the ones you saw just now are already crazy, those you can't see, They couldn’t bear it and hanged themselves. There are many dead souls in the cold palace, aren’t you afraid?” Ruyi said sadly: "Sooner or later, I will become one of the dead souls. Thinking about it this way, there is nothing to be afraid of."

The woman smiled noncommittally: "Finally, something strange has happened to this cold palace." After she finished speaking, she left in a misty way. Ruyi took a step back, only to feel that the pajamas on the vest were soaked in cold sweat.Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, patted Xin's hand and said, "I've seen it, so I can sleep in peace." Ruyi stuck to Ruyi fearfully, and Ruyi smiled and said, "You can sleep with me." It was a night of heavy wind and rain, and it was also a gloomy weather.Sing Xin followed Ruyi step by step, and asked cautiously, "Does the young master really want to see it?"

Ruyi changed into a more simple robe, and deliberately dressed in a dusty way: "They couldn't help but came to see me last night, why shouldn't I go to see them?" In fact, the place where she lived was separated from other people by a courtyard, and there were many winding corridors to turn around, but there were rustling sounds in front of her, as if many people were watching something around there.She hurried over to take a look, and took a step back in fright. It turned out that in an empty palace, a woman hung herself high on the beam, with only a pair of feet dangling, and every movement scattered a little dust. Come.

Xing Xin screamed in fright, pointed and said: "My lord, my lord, someone hanged to death." The women who were watching just looked at the two of them indifferently, then at the hanged woman, and dispersed without any surprise.Someone laughed enviously: "It's great, she went to see the late emperor. The late emperor will definitely favor her when he sees her. What a blessing." Last night, the slightly tidy old woman came out after the crowd, and looked at Ji Xin indifferently: "Don't make a fuss, there are people who can't bear to commit suicide every day, and you will know it after you live for a long time."

Su Xin was so frightened that his face turned pale, trembling and unable to speak.The old woman said lightly: "What about you? When can't you bear it and hang yourself up?" Ruyi felt her body trembling uncontrollably, she pointed to the woman on the beam and said, "Then what should she do?" The old woman smiled strangely: "Later, the guards will come and drag her out, drag her to the incineration site, burn her, and bury her. It's great, she died, melted, and finally left this ghost place." Ji Xin was surprised and said, "There are also guards here?" The old woman gave her a disdainful look: "Of course. Otherwise, you can push the door and go out from here anytime and anywhere?" Sing Xin knocked on the door in a panic and exclaimed: "Is there anyone? Is there anyone? There is someone inside Hanged!" After a long time, a guard who looked like a boss came in lazily, took a look, waved his hand and said, "Ling Yunche, Zhao Jiuxiao, you two go clean up." It is clearly a person, but it seems to be treated as an object, and it does not even have dignity after death. It is just "cleaned up".Seeing that the two big men were reaching out to hug the woman's body, Ruyi hurriedly said, "You are two men, how could you reach out and touch the body of the former concubine to be so offensive and disrespectful?" Only then did Ling Yunche see Ruyi, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, as if slightly startled by her appearance, he held his breath for a moment, and then withdrew his hands, and stopped touching her. Zhao Jiuxiao smiled lazily and said, "Don't touch it, okay! Then we two brothers will stop doing it, please do it yourself." Ruyi was provoked by him, thinking of her fate in the future, she didn't feel sad when the rabbit died, so she pulled out the long knife from his waist and threw it into Yongxin's hand: "Xinxin, you stand on the stool and cut the rope. Hold her down there." The heart trembled a little, but seeing that Ruyi chose to hug the corpse, she had no choice but to stand on the stool and cut off the rope hanging from the beam. He stopped, staggered and fell to the ground with both the body and the body.She was so close to the corpse that she could almost touch the cold breath of death and the dry, cold skin that had completely lost its vitality. She threw away her hand and couldn't help but leaned over and retched a few times. Zhao Jiuxiao seemed to be watching an interesting commotion: "Since you are so frightened, why are you trying to be brave? Since you don't allow our brothers to touch it, we won't carry this corpse!" Ruyi looked up at him coldly and said: "If I enter the cold palace, I can still go out for half a step. Naturally, you don't need to move this corpse. Besides, I just want you not to touch it directly with your hands. You carry them out." Ling Yunche glanced at her strangely: "Then what do you say?" Ruyi turned around, trying to find a large piece of cloth to wrap the body around, but there was nowhere to be seen. The old woman was watching her coldly. Seeing her like this, she turned around and went to the next door to bring a large white cloth: "This original I kept it for myself, let her use it now. But before I leave in the future, you must take your clothes and stitch a shroud to send me away." Ruyi gratefully said: "Yes." She and Xin Xin wrapped the body in cloth, leaving room for both ends to carry it, and said, "I'm sorry for your trouble." Seeing that she was so troublesome, Zhao Jiuxiao was upset at first, and looked lazily at the sky, refusing to do anything.Ling Yunche couldn't see it, so he stretched out his hand and pushed him, saying: "Let's do it, there are other things after it's over." Zhao Jiuxiao understood, smiled and said: "Only you have other things, but I don't." Ling Yunche ignored it, and reached out to lift up one end of the corpse, Zhao Jiuxiao also gave his hand, and went out together. Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried back to the room to wash her face and hands desperately, and changed into clean clothes again, so that disgusting feeling was not so strong.The old woman walked into her room, as if she had entered no man's land, she found a clean teacup and poured some water to drink: "Since you are so afraid, don't touch it." Ruyi washed her hands clean: "One day, I will do the same, right?" The old woman ignored it and said, "Didn't you think of getting out alive?" Ruyi hesitated for a moment: "How many years have you been here, senior?" The old woman glanced at her: "Senior? Don't I have a name?" Seeing her strange temperament, Ruyi hurriedly said respectfully: "Please enlighten me, old man." The old woman brushed off her clothes: "I am the late emperor's lucky concubine." She laughed at herself, "But I have never been lucky in my life, and I still have a reputation, so I was imprisoned here." Ruyi hurriedly got up and said, "Your Ulanara family, Ruyi, met Jitai Concubine." "A concubine?" She smiled sadly, "Yes. Didn't I become a concubine when the late emperor passed away? It's a pity, she is a concubine in Shoukang Palace who has taken care of her for the rest of her life. She is as honorable as a phoenix in the sky; I am imprisoned here The concubine who has lived through the years is as cheap as an insect." She suddenly woke up, "You said you are Ulanara? Then who is the late emperor's empress Ulanara?" Ruyi said: "The two empresses of the Ulanara family are both my aunts." "Two?" Concubine Ji sneered, "One is powerful enough. However, no matter how powerful you are, it is no match for the present Empress Dowager. Otherwise, how could even you have been left in the cold palace. But I am here in the cold palace. It has been more than two years, and I have never heard of anyone going out, so I really want to see if the daughter of the Ulanara family can go out." Ruyi was surprised and said: "You have only been in the cold palace for eight or nine years, so this year..." Concubine Ji stroked her face and said sadly: "You think I'm seventy or eighty? I was twenty-six years old when I was forced into this ghost place by that old queen mother, and I'm only thirty-five now. "Ruyi was so shocked that no sound came out of her throat, she could only stare at her in disbelief.Concubine Ji returned to the indifference just now: "The life here is like a year. Whether you can survive it or not is up to you." Ruyi watched her go out, and the panic in her heart finally turned into uneasiness and sorrow: "Xin Xin, I'm sorry. I let you come to such a place with me." Ji Xin was a little afraid, but still calm: "Where is the little master, so is the servant." Ruyi couldn't bear the pain in her heart anymore. The painful pain was originally just like insects and ants gnawing slowly. Under the various fears when she first entered the cold palace, she didn't feel how painful it was. How hard it is.But as if she was a person who had been numb for a long time, at this moment she suddenly lowered her head, only to realize that most of her body, hair, and skin had been eaten away by this tiny engulfment. The shock and pain made her unable to bear to look at it, nor could she bear to think about it. .It turned out that she had really lost so much, status, family, honor and his trust that she had always relied on.All gone. However, she couldn't help it.People in any situation have their own desires, such as the concubine Jia wishing to give birth to a prince; Concubine Hui wishing for the same grace as before;All she wanted was to learn to survive first, just to survive. As for Ling Yunche outside the door, after sending the body of the cold concubine to the incinerator, what did he wish for?With his reddish heroic face and his sparse sword eyebrows flying up, he stood on the remote corridor of the Leng Palace and the Cuiyun Pavilion, looking up at the bright girl rushing towards him, that was really boring and he had no future The most beautiful scene that the guards of the cold palace are most willing to see. The girl fluttered like a light butterfly on the narrow and deserted stone slab in front of the cold palace. Although she was only wearing the most common blue dress of a court lady, her delicate and beautiful face like a jade core Qiongying was still like the brightest color. Unstoppable into his eyes. Seeing her approaching, Yun Che hurriedly said with concern: "Yan Wan, run slower, and when I get tired from running, I will go to work again, and I will tire myself even more." Yan Wan supported her slender waist, panting slightly, "I just want to run faster so that I can see you for a while longer." Her face was coral-like because she ran too fast or was shy. With a delicate look, "Brother Yunche, have you been waiting for a long time?" Yun Che hurriedly said: "No. I just came a little earlier so that I can watch you come. I made an agreement with Jiuxiao, and he will stand for me for a while." Yan Wan was a little relieved, smiled like a flower and said: "That's good, I also took leave of absence from Aunt Fen, who is in charge of the fourth warehouse, and came out after saying that my stomach was uncomfortable." She looked around and sighed: "On weekdays, only It must be very hard for you and Zhao Jiuxiao to watch, right? The only thing we can do every day is to watch the sky at the door, or go in and carry the corpses for them. Brother Yunche, why are we all so miserable and have no bright future? " Yun Che said: "You still want to leave the Four Executive Treasury?" Yan Wan said dejectedly: "Although what I serve is the emperor's clothes, but I only deal with clothes every day. One day I can have a good future. Brother Yunche, I'm only fourteen years old. I don't want to spend my whole life being called by others Drink. If I go to a better palace to serve the favored young master, I can also pull you away from here. Then we..." Yun Che shook his head and said: "Why bother? There are many things wrong in the favored little lord palace. You don't know that the one who entered the cold palace yesterday is also the emperor's concubine Xian, and she is going to live in the cold palace for the rest of her life? Not to mention the little palace maid. , A person who is accidentally beaten to death by the master deserves it, it is better for the four executives to live in peace and quiet." Yan Wan pursed her lips, feeling a little wronged: "It's Qing Jing, it's An Sheng, but if I stay there after the age of twenty-five, I will be sent out of the palace. Although I was born in Zhenghuang Banner, But if I, Ama, hadn’t committed a crime a few years ago and lost my official position, even though the lintel of my family was low, I would still be in good standing. But now I’m just a servant girl sent to the palace by a servant’s family. If I don’t have a good place to go, there is no A good master proposes a marriage for me, then you and I...you and I..." She was too shy to continue, she just looked into his eyes and asked, "Brother Yunche, have you changed your mind?" Yun Che earnestly said: "Of course not. Although I entered the palace three years earlier than you, and I am six years older than you, it is not easy to meet an old friend from my hometown. You and I... are in love with each other. will change." Yan Wan became happy, and a sweet smile bloomed on the corner of her lips again: "That's good. Yesterday was the day when Concubine Jia, Concubine Mei and Shen Chang were canonizing, and in a few days the House of Internal Affairs will soon choose maids to serve them. It would be great if I could serve the concubine Jia or Shen Chang, they are the most favored in the palace now." She pressed her cuff: "I have already saved a small amount of money, when the time comes, I just need to buy Tongfen Aunt, as long as she is willing to recommend me." She glanced at Yun Che in embarrassment: "It's just that I'm afraid the money is not enough..." Yun Che frowned in embarrassment, and said: "Don't worry, I still have a little salary, if it doesn't work, I will think of other ways." Yan Wan nodded happily, and a trace of stubborn tenacity flashed in her eyes: "Brother Yunche, I have no one else in the palace, I can only rely on you." She stretched out her hands, revealing the old and new scars on her fingers, and said sadly "Brother Yunche, I have been ironing and fuming clothes every day for two years. As long as the aunts in charge are upset, they can throw hot irons at me and splash me with ashes. I really do I don’t want to be a court lady of the Four Executive Treasury all your life, and I don’t want you to be trapped in the cold palace for the rest of your life. I know, you have always wanted to be an upright guard of the Shenwumen, and even work in front of the emperor. Don’t worry, as long as we catch you If you take the opportunity, you will definitely not be inferior to others." Yun Che nodded, caressed her hands carefully and said: "Compared to my empty ambitions and wasting years here in the cold palace, I feel more sorry for you being bullied. Don't worry, I will definitely find a way." Yan Wan was carefully held in his hands, her heart was as warm as cotton, as if the ten thousand feet of sunshine were falling together, and it couldn't compare to the warmth and warmth at this moment.She touched a dim ruby ​​ring on the finger of her left hand. It was made of ground ruby ​​powder. It was not worth much, but it was a gift from Ling Yunche.They were originally a poor couple in the Forbidden City, and it was warm enough to have such a heart.She said softly: "Sometimes no matter how hard and tired you are, looking at the ring you gave me makes me feel much more at ease." Yun Che's face flushed slightly, and he said after a moment of silence: "Yan Wan, I know I don't have much money, so I can only give you a gem powder ring. But I have the best one, and I will definitely give it to you, you trust me." Yan Wan blushed, lowered her head and kissed Yun Che's fingers, then ran away shyly. Long after Yan Wan left, Yun Che's gaze once again touched the closed and mottled door of the Leng Palace.He gradually understood that the reason he was willing to help that strange and stubborn woman in the cold palace was mostly because her face was so similar to the beautiful and graceful Yan Wan.Thinking of this, his heart became softer and softer, as if soaked in spring water, basking warmly under the bright spring sun.There is nothing more joyful than this. Ruyi washed her hands clean: "One day, I will do the same, right?" The old woman ignored it and said, "Didn't you think of getting out alive?" Ruyi hesitated for a moment: "How many years have you been here, senior?" The old woman glanced at her: "Senior? Don't I have a name?" Seeing her strange temperament, Ruyi hurriedly said respectfully: "Please enlighten me, old man." The old woman brushed off her clothes: "I am the late emperor's lucky concubine." She laughed at herself, "But I have never been lucky in my life, and I still have a reputation, so I was imprisoned here." Ruyi hurriedly got up and said, "Your Ulanara family, Ruyi, met Jitai Concubine." "A concubine?" She smiled sadly, "Yes. Didn't I become a concubine when the late emperor passed away? It's a pity, she is a concubine in Shoukang Palace who has taken care of her for the rest of her life.

Whether you can survive it or not is up to you." Ruyi watched her go out, and the panic in her heart finally turned into uneasiness and sorrow: "Xin Xin, I'm sorry. I let you come to such a place with me." Ji Xin was a little afraid, but still calm: "Where is the little master, so is the servant." Ruyi couldn't bear the pain in her heart anymore. The painful pain was originally just like insects and ants gnawing slowly. Under the various fears when she first entered the cold palace, she didn't feel how painful it was. How hard it is.But as if she was a person who had been numb for a long time, at this moment she suddenly lowered her head, only to realize that most of her body, hair, and skin had been eaten away by this tiny engulfment.
