Lin Yueying thought that everything would end with her being crippled. However, she never expected that the end in her eyes was just the beginning in the eyes of others.
Ever since she was deposed, the position of Empress was vacant and the happiest person was Shen Pan 'er.
Chu Huaijin had always been very restrained when it came to women. Ever since he took over the throne, he only had one empress and one concubine in the palace. Now that Lin Yueying had been deposed, the next successor was naturally Shen Pan 'er.
When Chu Huaijin was comparing the candidates for the Empress, he had a small struggle. For some reason, there was clearly no one more suitable to be the Empress than Shen Pan 'er in the Imperial Palace, but he could not give this imperial edict.
There seemed to be a shadow in a corner of his heart that kept hinting at him that the position of empress could not be given to anyone except Lin Yueying.
However, when he tried to get to the bottom of it, he realized that the voice had suddenly disappeared.
He finally made a decision after much hesitation, but Shen Pan 'er was already impatient.
She closed the palace door and smashed all the jade ornaments and porcelain bottles in Jingning Palace that day.
"It must be her... she's the one who made me unable to become the empress.”She thought that it was something that was within her reach, but it was so difficult for it to come. This almost made her go berserk.
She blamed all of this on the crippled Lin Yueying.
"Niangniang, does the emperor still remember the crippled empress? Last time, I heard a sister say that the emperor even sent the imperial physician to the Cold Palace to treat the crippled empress.”The palace maid, Lu E, had only risen to the position after Lu Zhi disappeared. She was completely unaware of Shen Pan 'er's previous masterpiece and was very enthusiastic in using schemes to show her loyalty.
" Hmph, I think so too…" Shen Pan 'er grabbed the silk handkerchief in her hand and crushed it into a ball. She gritted her teeth.
Lin Yueying, Lin Yueying…You're really good. Even though you're crippled, you still make the Emperor remember her. Hmph, since you're so persistent, don't blame her for being rude.
She called Lü E over and made some arrangements. Seeing Lü E nod repeatedly, Shen Pan 'er was slightly relieved.
As soon as he finished speaking, the imperial edict arrived.
It was the imperial edict that she had been looking forward to.
Ever since Shen Pan 'er entered the palace, she had been looking forward to this day. Now that it had finally come true, she was overjoyed. Lü E couldn't help but hesitate and secretly asked if the plan was still going to be carried out.
Shen Pan 'er rolled her eyes at her.”
Green calyx was frightened by the viciousness in her eyes and retreated, not daring to say a single word.
……
Lin Yueying counted with her fingers. She had successfully spent half a month in the Cold Palace. It was getting colder and colder outside. Last night, there was a strong wind blowing all night. When she woke up this morning, it was already a vast expanse of whiteness outside. The north wind was blowing, and the snowflakes piled up on the eaves were blown off.
"Hahaha, mother, come and chase me.”She couldn't help but think of her teenage self running in the snow. Her mother was wrapped in heavy clothes and held her snow-green cloak in her hand. She chased after her with difficulty and shouted at her,"Nan Nan, don't run around. Be careful of the snow holes in the snow. If you step on them, you'll be buried inside.”
However, she was still smiling and refused to listen to him. She ran even faster.
The scene changed. She had just run out of the courtyard when she bumped into someone's arms.
That person hugged her…
She couldn't remember that person's appearance clearly, and she forgot about it just like that.
When he was young, he had once made an appointment with someone to pick the first snow on the wintersweet flower. It was said that someone liked to drink tea made from the snow on the petals…
Snowflakes were flying everywhere, and the wintersweet, which had been neglected, was growing wildly outside the window. Branches extended into the dilapidated house, and when the wind blew, a faint fragrance wafted out.
At this moment, the plum blossom fragrance was there, and so was the snow water. Unfortunately, the current her had long lost her usual leisurely mood.
"Empress…it's time for you to drink your medicine." Qing Li came over with an old jar.
With just one glance, Lin Yueying immediately woke up from her broken dreams.
She was no longer the noble young miss of the prime minister's manor, but a forgotten abandoned concubine of the cold palace. Naturally, she would not remember her. This was normal.
"I'm no longer the Empress, don't call me that.”She felt disgusted. Since he said he would let go, then he didn't even need to leave a memory behind.
"You are the Empress in this servant's heart." Qing Li looked like a very obedient girl, but in fact, she was very stubborn.
Lin Yueying had told her that she had been crippled. As a high-ranking female official, she naturally did not need to follow her anymore. Why should she starve and suffer?
Moreover, based on what she had done for Chu Huaijin in the past, as long as she was determined to draw a clear line with her, he would not make things difficult for her.
However, she insisted on staying by her side. She even said that she would follow her even if she had to eat chaff and swallow vegetables or wear cotton clothes and iron quilts…
This silly girl. What she wanted to tell her was that she had never blamed her before. She was originally Chu Huaijin's palace maid and was given to her side. Other than giving her the virginity soup according to Chu Huaijin's request, she did not do anything harmful.
At that time, she was serving her own master. It was not wrong for her to be loyal to his master.
However, no matter what she said, she wouldn't listen. She felt like her ears were about to get calluses, so she gradually stopped talking.
The soup was very bitter. Lin Yueying pinched her nose and drank it. She put down the jar and laughed at herself."I'm just used to it."
In the past, as long as Chu Huaijin had doted on her at night, she would give him a bowl. That medicine was actually more bitter than this because her heart was bitter.
"Empress…"
"Yue Ying…"
Lin Yueying frowned and looked at Qing Li. She suspected that she was hallucinating. After Qing Li called her Empress, there seemed to be a man's voice calling her name.
However, when her gaze stopped on Qing Li's face, she knew that there was something wrong with her ears. This was the Cold Palace, and no one would come.
"Yue Ying." Bai Ze flew down from the roof and landed gently in front of Lin Yueying, staring at her with burning eyes.
"I finally found you." His lips curled up slightly, and his eyes were filled with surprise.
Lin Yueying was stunned. Qing Li was so scared that she covered her mouth and widened her eyes. This was the Cold Palace. Not to mention that there were few people here, one had to at least enter. The outside was also heavily guarded. How did he get in?
"How can a small Cold Palace stop me?”Bai Ze smiled lightly, his eyes full of disdain.
He untied the gourd on his waist and poured out the white pill inside.
"This is a pill to nourish the body. I refined the medicine you drank earlier into a pill. Take one a day and it's good for the body.”
Lin Yueying's throat moved forcefully. Before she could think of how to reply, she heard a series of neat footsteps coming from the door.
Qing Li had already retreated to the door to guard it.
Although Bai Ze's ability was extraordinary and he could come and go freely in the Cold Palace, they could not let their guard down.
She peeked through the gap outside the door and saw a familiar figure…She was so scared that her breathing stopped.#
