Cold Palace

  "You despicable slaves, where have you gone to? The cold water that I want has not been brought yet." Jia Lian stood at the door of her small house, her clothes disheveled and her hair in a mess. At this moment, she was so hot that she couldn't bear it, and she didn't care about her clothes slipping off her shoulders as she shouted loudly.

  In the nearby woods, a group of old palace women gathered together. One of them showed a face full of disdain, spat to the side and said sarcastically: "She's like that but still dares to call herself 'this palace'. She's really gone mad."

  Aunt Xiang sighed: "Aunt Li, you're not unaware that since Madam Jia entered the Cold Palace, she's gone completely mad. She yells day and night, it's endless."

  "It's not, is it? Although our cold palace is a bit secluded, it's also a quiet place. But this Jia family is crazy all day long and makes us have a hard time." Lai Yaoyao complained again.

  "Yes. It's still better when it was like before. I don't know how she is doing now." said Aunt Rong with a sigh.

  "That girl must be living a good life and has probably forgotten about us." Old Lady Li said with a pout.

  Suddenly another palace maid beside her saw Jia's family approaching and exclaimed, "Oh no! The Jias have arrived!"

  As expected, Madam Jia has come looking for her. Old Shui's wife exclaimed in alarm: "What to do? That madwoman of hers has arrived."

  "What's the panic? Everyone calm down. Disperse quickly, would you? Next time we meet her, let's not provoke her. If she wants to be crazy, just let her be." As soon as An TaiTai finished speaking, several old palace maids hurriedly dispersed and vanished without a trace. It seems everyone is afraid of getting entangled with her.

  Auntie An shook her head and quickly left as well.

  Jia Lian walked along the small path in the Cold Palace, muttering to herself: "This palace is a noble master, the empress is a lowly person, Yan Xi Jun is a fox spirit. Have these lowly slaves all died?"

  "Get out of my sight! You damned slaves..."

  Jiang Fu was woken up by a loud and clear voice of scolding, she looked at the back of the person who was still scolding and sighed. What a pitiful person, once entered the cold palace, he went crazy. Now he's really like a madman, crazy and confused.

  Alas, it's not her turn to sympathize with others yet, she's still a pitiful person herself. She was framed by Zhou Yihuan out of the blue. As soon as she thought of Zhou Yihuan, Jiang Fu's eyes flashed with resentment again. If there's an opportunity to leave the Cold Palace, she must make her taste the flavor of being framed.

  In the afternoon, the cold and quiet palace welcomed several people dressed in bright clothes. Jiang Fu looked out through the low window and saw a few eunuchs supporting an old woman walking towards Jia Lian's small house.

  Jiang Fu recognized the old woman as Chu Guo Furen, the wet nurse of the Emperor and also the aunt of Jia Lian. What was she doing here? Was she here to visit Jia Lian?

  The Cold Palace isn't a place where outsiders are allowed to enter, is it? It seems that this Chu Guo Furen is indeed formidable. The guards outside have all been bribed by her.

  Only one palace maid was seen supporting the lady of Chu into the house, while the others remained outside.

  Jia Lian was lying on her wooden bed at this time, looking at the two people who suddenly walked in and asked cautiously: "Who are you? Why did you come into my palace?"

  Rong Min looked up and down at Jia Li in shock, exclaiming: "Miss Jia, you don't recognize us anymore."

  Jia Lian sat up straight on the bed, rolled her eyes and said: "How would I know you lowly slaves? I only recognize the Emperor."

  "Uh......" This time, Rong Min's eyes widened in surprise. He had heard about Miss Jia going crazy before he came, but he didn't expect it to be this severe.

  The lady of Chu state walked to the bedside, her old eyes shining brightly as she stared straight at Jia Lian and said: "Lian'er, you really don't recognize your aunt anymore."

  "Hehe, I was originally called Lier, no, you should call me Niangniang, I am already the Empress." said Jia Lianying.

  Rong Min and the Madam of Chu State exchanged a glance, both feeling helpless. Rong Min took another step forward and said: "Miss Jia, there are no outsiders here anymore, so you don't need to pretend to be crazy and foolish. This is Old Madam, can it be that you really don't remember?"

  In Rong Min's heart, she thought that Jia Miss was pretending to be crazy. It couldn't be so coincidental. As soon as she entered the Cold Palace, she went mad.

  "What are you old ladies doing in my palace? Are you sent by the Emperor to serve me? Come quickly and massage my back and shoulders." Jia Lian's wife shouted again.

  The lady of Chu State gave Rong Min a signal with her eyes, and Rong Min obediently went forward to help Jia Lian pinch his shoulders.

  "Li'er, your aunt is asking you. Do you still remember who told you to poison her?" asked the lady of Chu State, looking at Jia Liyan.

  As soon as it was mentioned that someone had been poisoned, Jia Lian's wife became agitated and twisted her body about, waving her hands and saying anxiously: "I didn't poison anyone! I didn't poison anyone!"

  The lady of Chu State grasped her hand and comforted her, "Auntie knows you didn't poison anyone. As long as you tell me who is behind this and instructing you, Auntie will avenge you."

  "Revenge." Jia Lian muttered to herself. Looking at the Chu Guo Furen, she asked, "Is what you said true?"

  "Auntie, when have I ever deceived you? This time I came to see you just to help you investigate this whole thing clearly. First, to clear your name. Second, to avenge you." said the Princess of Chu State, looking at her niece.

  In her heart, she knew this niece very well. Although the girl's temper was violent and her mind was small, she didn't have the wit to think of using poison to harm people. There must be someone behind her who plotted and schemed for her, and then she became a scapegoat for others.

  "Miss Jia, speak quickly! Who is behind your back, manipulating you? Tell us and we'll avenge you." Rong Min urged, seeing Jia Lixian remaining silent for a long time.

  "Revenge." Jia Lianxian read it again, her eyes suddenly turning fiery red. She said with hatred: "It's Yan Xikun. It was that fox spirit who harmed me. Help me kill her, and you will have avenged me."

  Rong Min didn't know what expression to use to show her shock. She said Miss Jia was crazy, but she clearly remembered the name of Yan De Fei. She said she wasn't crazy, but she answered irrelevantly.

  The lady of Chu state was very patient and comforted her, saying: "Okay, okay, I'll avenge you, auntie. Think again, is there anyone else who has wronged you?"

  Jia Li thought for a moment with her head tilted to one side, then suddenly exclaimed: "There is! And another demon girl... That's Yan Xijun's sister. What was her name again...?"

  The lady of Chu saw that she couldn't get anything else out of her, so she stood up and said: "Li'er, don't worry, Auntie knows about those two people you mentioned. Just stay here for a while and rest assured, Auntie will avenge you."

  Jia Lian did not respond to Madame Chiang's words and continued to reminisce in a daze: Yan something, Yan something...

  Out of the cold palace, Rong Min supported Madame Chou and walked carefully, saying: "Old lady, Miss Jia is now in this state, she should be really stimulated."
