I'm really suffering. This hemoptysis, why is it that it's so powerful? If it was me, I would have been able to last in the cold palace for eight years and still be sick like this. I really can't stand it.

"Chu Xue, you should go back first. It's so late." Senior Servant Chen frowned. "This rain will cool down a bit more."

I knew that she was worried about Ning Fei's health again. I walked closer and smiled lightly. "She's better now. It'll be fine."

"I hope so. If it rains tomorrow, you shouldn't come so early. Ning Xiaoyao will be sleeping late." You don't even have an umbrella here, but you should go back in the rain. "

I liked to hear her talk like that, like my nurse, and I nodded. "It's all right, Mammy, the first snow isn't afraid of the rain."

I went out softly. The white flowers in the courtyard were like black shadows, emitting a fragrant smell in the rain, but I couldn't see clearly.

I shielded my hands from the rain and headed straight for the entrance of the cold palace. The next rain was very hot and stuffy, and the heat on the ground was burning hot.

On a moonless night, the cold palace was even darker, and the occasional wail was like the wailing of a ghost.

Ai I do not know, why women always cry, tears do not redeem what for them?

But I was no longer afraid. At first I would have been frightened by such a sound, and I would have been uneasy. However, I'm not afraid anymore. Humans are just a habit. As long as I get used to it, everything will be fine.

When I walked out of the cold palace, it was raining heavily, and I could not see the road. There was no light, no umbrella. I used the lightning to flash for a split-second before I rushed towards the autumn chrysanthemum courtyard.

The guards at the entrance to the cold palace were laughing at me in the little room, and I couldn't care less.

When he returned to the hospital, his entire body was drenched. Only then did he realize that he had become cold. Even after changing his clothes, he didn't see the pear fragrance.

I whispered to a palace maid, "Where's the pear blossom? "Why haven't you come back so late today?" She came back early in those days.

The palace maid laughed softly, "Yin pear-shaped incense, I'm afraid you'll be kneeling in the laundry pool."

I was shocked. "What happened?"

"How long has it been since a palace maid entered the palace? She's learned how to be lazy and how to talk back. How can the mama not punish her? Stay away from me, you have the scent of the cold palace on you, that's bad luck, don't touch me. " She covered her nose in annoyance and ran away.

I sat down on the bed. For someone as smart as Riko, punishing her in the palace would be alright. However, she would whip him whenever she wanted to. How could he bear it?

I looked around at the palace maids who were chatting with each other. No one cared about the pear blossoms.

I am somewhat sad, in the palace, even the people who work together, will add insult to injury, let alone care. But I don't have any qualifications, what right do I have to blame them? I'm also selfish, I only care about the people I care about. If it wasn't for Pear Blossom, I probably wouldn't have known who wouldn't return tonight.

I stood up, hurriedly grabbed two steamed buns and went out. I was met by Lian Qiuchi.

I nod at her, and her eyes twinkle as she glances at my empty bunk and smiles sideways.

Fortunately, there was still an oil umbrella in the palace maid's room, so she picked up an oil-paper lantern and walked out into the rain. Fortunately, there was still an oil umbrella in the palace maid's room, and took out an oil-paper lantern and walked out into the rain.

The wind dragged the rain long, and my clothes suddenly got wet.

As he headed toward the laundry pool in the dim light, he heard the sound of thunder above his head.

Sadly, I used to be most afraid of thunder, but I can't be afraid of it now.

It was as if it wanted to cut a hole in the sky. The long silver snake was waving it, letting out muffled thumping sounds. The crisp bang sound made the harem feel quiet. There were no sounds of singing or dancing, and there were no lights anywhere.

As he walked, his hair was actually wet. His clothes were sticking tightly to his body, making him feel very uncomfortable.

The laundry room was quiet, with only the sound of rain.

I shouted, "Pear fragrance! Pear fragrance!"

I looked around for her, but I didn't see her. She was in the laundry room, where the laundry was kept.

This was because many of the concubines' clothes were incomparably precious, so they had to be kept inside. There were also people guarding them.

I don't enter. Every palace has its own rules.

I know, but I don't know what happened to her in there. Would he be whipped, or what? A single set of clothes was sometimes even more precious than the life of a palace maid.

When a palace maid died, no one would say. It was just that the concubine's clothes were all gone. The one to suffer would still be the palace maid.

I mustered up my courage and stepped forward to look at the two eunuchs. I respectfully said, "This servant greets eunuch."

"Why are you here so late?" a high-pitched voice shouted.

I took a deep breath. "This servant's sister, Riko, works in the laundry room. It's just that I didn't see her back this late. This servant came over to take a look, but didn't see anything."

"Intense pear fragrance?" A person also shouted with a high-pitched voice.

I nodded. "Yes, have the two of you seen each other before?"

One of them said fiercely, "Aren't we just going to lock him up in there? When the mama from the laundry room wakes up, we'll punish her and leave the two of us here without food. "

I hastily scooped up a steamed bun wrapped in oily paper and said, "This is your servant's dinner. I don't mind eating a little bit of it."

"Two steamed buns and you want to send us away?" Some sneered.

I hastily shook my head. "No, eunuch. This servant doesn't dare to say that. This servant wishes to meet my younger sister. I hope that the two eunuchs can agree to our request." Sloth and punishment, such a huge punishment. However, she would never go to the Cold Palace no matter what, otherwise it would have been a bit freer there. She had suffered a lot in the laundry room.

The two eunuchs looked at each other, and the other one sucked in a breath and said, "Fine, kneel down and kowtow to this eunuch, then go wash the clothes outside, I'll let you have a look." With one hand, he still took the two steamed buns from me.

They were only dressed in the lowest of the eunuchs. With such a difficult situation, everyone was a servant.

I sighed and knelt down. I kowtowed respectfully and kowtowed all the way. "Eunuch, please be lenient."

This is my first kowtow since entering the palace. I didn't see it at Consort Ning's place, nor did the emperor, nor did any of my concubines see it. This is the first time I've kowtowed to these two young eunuchs.

They waved their hands and took big bites of the steamed buns, "Go and wash your clothes before letting you see them."

The rain was much lighter, and I didn't bother to hold any more umbrellas. I hung the lantern on the tree, which was piled high with dirty clothes. I brought the rain and sat on the laundress's stool, rubbing and wiping my clothes.

Slowly the rain stopped and the moon came out. It really came fast, but it also disappeared fast.

Such a heavy storm, I thought, would last a whole night?

The moon, after the rain, was round and bright and gave off a white glow. It was so pure that it seemed as if it could make the night shine. The moonlight reflected the water and shone a layer of silver.

I wiped my sweat and glanced around the room, where the two little ones seemed to be asleep.

I'm really worried. It doesn't matter if I lock her up now, what I'm most afraid of is what kind of punishment there will be tomorrow. Maybe after I finish washing all the clothes here, once they are happy, they will stop punishing her severely.

I was doing my best to wash. I didn't even hear the footsteps approaching me.

"Qing Qing?" an unhappy voice cried.

I saw a pair of large feet in front of me, and I suddenly remembered what happened that night. Could it have been him? It must be, otherwise it wouldn't be Qing Qing. I didn't dare to raise my head.

He came closer and put his hand under my chin and looked at me. He had his back to the moon and I couldn't see his eyes, but they were sharp and almost made me shiver.

"Your servant is not Qing Qing." Under his gaze, I admire myself for being able to say this quietly.

He smirked, and the pressure on his fingers increased so much that I almost burst into tears.

"Even the palace maids have learned how to lie to others. Truly, I deserve to die. I hate others who have lied to me the most." He said this coldly, with a hint of anger.

"My name is Ni Chuxue." I didn't dare lie to him anymore.

He looked me in the face. "Really?"

"I would never dare to lie to you again." I mean it.

He studied me for a moment before letting me go. "No salt," he said.

No salt, what is no salt? There is no such thing as a beauty. In the palace, there are too many beauties.

Who is a man who appears late at night in the laundry room? This kind of boldness was not something that they were afraid of being discovered by others.

Did I do something wrong? Let him find me like this.

I murmured, "I'm sorry, it's this servant's fault."

He exhaled heavily as if he was slightly disappointed. "How dare you not kneel when you see this crown prince."

My legs softened as I kneeled down. "This servant greets the crown prince. The crown prince, Jin An."

Heavens, it was actually the crown prince. Such an illustrious identity was truly unbelievable.

"You're not from the laundry?"

I know, he must have investigated. If not for the punishment for Pear Fragrance tonight, I wouldn't be here. He would never be able to find me.

I nodded my head, "This servant is a palace maid from the Cold Palace. This servant's sister is in the laundry room, but she made a small mistake. This servant will wash her sister's clothes." I spoke calmly. "I did not make a mistake. Although he is a high and mighty man, he is not an unreasonable man.

He gave a cold snort and didn't let me get up. He looked at me for a long time, and I felt my scalp go numb.

Only after some time did he speak. "You're quite smart. What mistake did you commit when you stood up?"

Since he appeared here in the middle of the night, it should be extremely boring. Thus, he will definitely listen to what I just said. Therefore, I am actually quite smart.

"This servant doesn't know either."
