C59 Substitute

After a long while, she slowly recalled her words and sighed, "That's right, Leng Ning Palace. "But in this old servant's heart, this place will forever be a jade palace, a palace for the Empress. If the souls of the Empress return, this old servant will serve the Empress again."

"After the Empress's death, the Emperor was afraid of touching the surface, so he never came here again. Later on, ah. There were many new lords in the palace. They all had the same face. Hehe, but in the end, didn't they all come to this cold palace? " The old granny's smile was somewhat sorrowful, as if she was pitying those new lords in her mouth.

"New master? The same face? " Zhong Miao Yi was stunned.

When she was initially offered to the emperor by Su Zeyi, the emperor said that she was beautiful, and that she looked especially like a person.

The person the Emperor was referring to was naturally her matriarch.

So it turned out that she wasn't the first one. This palace had too many "Imperial Consort Zhong" before, that was why this old lady said that they all had the same face?!

"In this cold palace, there are those who are still alive and those who are already dead. All of them were once the emperor's concubines and concubines, but none of them survived." The old granny spoke slowly, as if she was telling a completely unrelated story, "Imperial Consort De said, this is a curse, hehe, a curse from the Empress."

"The emperor sent all these masters to Jade Palace. Every single one of them listened to this old servant's story, and this old servant told them the story of the Empress. They looked at each other's faces, and those that couldn't bear it any longer and went crazy first." The old granny's voice was still calm, but the Zhong Miao Yi felt goosebumps all over her body.

She had never known that such a cruel and disgusting story would happen in this palace.

"But. I didn't see that many people. " Zhong Miao Yi took a deep breath. Recalling about the woman just now, she suddenly felt pity for her.

"Princess naturally wouldn't see that. After they went crazy, they started to kill each other. They all believed that they were the real Imperial Consort Zhong and that others had come to harm them, to the end. Only one person remains. " When the old granny said these words in her hoarse and sinister voice, it was extremely shocking. Xiao Yao was already so scared that her face drained of blood.

Zhong Miao Yi also did not recover from her shock for a long time. The old granny said she was the most similar, which was what she meant.

The Zhong Miao Yi didn't know how to judge this matter. The Emperor sought out women who had similar appearances to the Imperial Consort Zhong and favored them into the palace, yet she couldn't tell whether this was a perverted infatuation or an unbridled selfishness.

How innocent were these women?! She had mysteriously become her replacement, and was even kept in the dark, thinking that she was a unique existence.

Lost a child. He was actually sent to the cold palace, to the palace of the real Imperial Consort Zhong, and knew how laughable and lamentable he was.

How cruel.

The Emperor probably never thought that he would one day find his daughter.

"But. Why did you get sent to the cold palace when you had no children? " Xiao Yao was almost unable to endure this kind of atmosphere, and could only speak to ease her fear.

The old granny's eyes flickered, raising her head to look at Zhong Miao Yi, "That's because of you, Princess."

"Me?" Zhong Miao Yi was confused. What did this have to do with her?

"Yes, it's because of you, Princess. Don't you know why you were sent out of the palace?" The grandma didn't laugh anymore. She suddenly became serious, looking like a strict aunt of etiquette.

"I don't know." Zhong Miao Yi also became nervous, exposing the past, especially a portion of the unhappy past. It was truly a type of torture.

"The avalanche after the birth of the Imperial Consort Zhong's Empress was deliberately planned by someone. The princess was carried out of the palace by Luhai. From then on, none of you have been heard of." The grandma was immersed in her memories, her eyes filled with hatred. "But God bless you. Princess, you've returned safely. As long as you're here, you'll get your revenge!"

Zhong Miao Yi was intimidated for a moment. The Luhai that the old granny spoke of should be the eunuch by her side.

"It's the Imperial Consort De." Zhong Miao Yi did not use a questioning tone. She was sure that it was Imperial Consort De, only she would do such a thing.

The old granny quickly covered Zhong Miao Yi's mouth with her hands, "This old servant knows his fate and it's not worth dying for, yet the princess wants to live well. Be careful of the walls and your ears.

When Zhong Miao Yi received her teachings, she immediately felt mixed emotions.

No wonder the Imperial Consort De hated her so much when she saw her. It was because there were too many "similar faces" in the palace already.

Imperial Consort De must have initially thought that if she had a child, she would let her have a mischievous fetus and enter the cold palace. This way, Imperial Consort Zhong's curses would continue endlessly.

It was a pity. The only thing that the Imperial Consort De did not expect was that not only was the Imperial Consort Zhong's flesh and blood not dead, they were even raised by the Su Family.

The Zhong Miao Yi sunk into silence. Too many things had happened in this day, the old granny suddenly stood up, said that she was going to take a look at the lady, and even told Xiao Yao where there was ointment.

Walking to the door, she seemed to recall something. "This old servant is old, my memory is no longer good, and I've always forgotten things. This old servant doesn't even remember many of the Empress's past."

This was the norm in life, and no one could avoid it.

"This old servant forgot to ask, how did the princess come to this place?!" The old woman frowned, her excitement subsiding. Only then did she remember that something was wrong.

Zhong Miao Yi gave a bitter smile and told the old granny everything that happened before and after, just leaving out most of his hard times. She was afraid that if she got old, she would still have to keep her in mind.

The Zhong Miao Yi did not understand, "I am just a servant, I just followed orders."

The old granny laughed, "Then just whose fate does she listen to? Whose job is it to do? "

Zhong Miao Yi blurted out, "Of course it's Old Madam Su."

After saying that, he paused for a moment. Even he felt that something was wrong, but what was wrong?

The old granny waved her hands. "The princess is wrong. Old Mistress Su and the empress dowager are incompatible like fire and water. This, I'm afraid, has long been swapped for the crown prince. It's not like that anymore!"
