After coming out of Qingning Palace, Gao Jieyu always felt that her whole body was stained with the smell of Qingning Palace.
Burning paper money, lighting incense, and the smoky smell, because the weather is not hot enough, Jin Fei Tingling also used a lot of ice and spices in Qingning Hall, so the inside of the hall is much colder than outside, and the smell is rich Although the smell is said to be fragrant, it makes people choke and feel uncomfortable.
It was a kind of coldness that could seep into the seams of a person's bones.
As soon as Gao Jieyu came out, she took several deep breaths, and then breathed out hard, as if she could exhale all the smoke and weird aroma that filled her nose and throat.
The people in the inner palace would cut corners, and they would not dare to go too far in such a funeral event.
Those spices should be good spices, but when she thought that these spices were used to preserve the body, Gao Jieyu felt that she had inhaled them.
Every breath is the breath of a corpse.
She had not been this uncomfortable in the past few visits to Qingning Palace.
Gao Jieyu and Concubine Jin had little friendship, and they did not talk to each other.
Gao Jieyu had a bad temper, and Concubine Jin was not a generous and cheerful person.
But it was an acquaintance after all.
Old acquaintances from the past passed away one after another.
Gao Jieyu didn't know who was next.
Gao Jieyu shuddered when she thought that one day all the people she knew would no longer be in this world and she would be the only one still holding on to the memories of the past.
Concubine Jin died today and she came to express condolences.
Who will come to pay homage to her in the future?
Danxia asked worriedly: "Master, is he feeling uncomfortable?"
Gao Jieyu's face was pale.
Of course no one would put makeup on her face on days like this, so her complexion could be seen at a glance.
"fine."
Gao Jieyu looked back at Qingning Palace.
The plaque on the palace door was shrouded in a layer of faint blue smoke.
She really didn't want to come to this place again.
After the death of the concubines in the palace, not all the concubines are qualified to be laid to rest in the Qingning Palace.
Like those low-level talented people in Houyuan who do not have their own palaces, if they die, they will be lucky that day.
Go out and bury it.
Gao Jieyu thought that whether she liked it or not, she would have to come to this place in the future.
If she wanted to wait for the end, she would have to wait until she was lying inside and being worshiped by others.
Thinking of this, Gao Jieyu couldn't help but look back.
This time she felt as if the dark door of Qingning Hall was trying to suck her in.
She held Danxia's hand and walked a few steps, as if in this way she could escape the unknown bad luck and the unknown when it would come. death.
"Master, let's go back and have a good rest.
It's been quite a long day today."
Gao Jieyu nodded: "Go back.
Let someone prepare hot water.
I have to wash myself well."
She wanted to wash away the smell quickly.
Danxia helped Gao Jieyu get on the chariot, and the two eunuchs lifted the chariot and walked forward steadily.
The wind was tighter than before.
Gao Jieyu raised her hands to cover her temples, thinking that it might be windy these days.
The wind in Beijing is very strong in spring and autumn.
If you are going to come back tomorrow, wear a hooded cloak.
Otherwise, if the Qingning Palace was so cold and she kept blowing the wind back and forth, she would be afraid that she would get sick before Concubine Jin's funeral was completed.
Gao Jieyu looked up and saw someone passing in front of her.
"Who is he?"

Danxia said: "It looks like Princess Yuyao."
"Is she going to Shoukang Palace?"
Danxia was not sure either, so she just said: "This is the same way back to Yong'an Palace."
Gao Jieyu paused slightly with her feet on the chariot: "Follow slowly and take a look."
The eunuch carrying the chariot turned around obediently.
Princess Yuyao had indeed gone to Shoukang Palace.
Gao Jieyu and the others saw Princess Yuyao leading people into the palace gate of Shoukang Palace.
Princess Yuyao of Shoukang Palace has only been here once or twice, and the impression is that the people here always look particularly frightened and cowed.
The Shoukang Palace in front of her was more lonely and desolate than she remembered.
The fallen leaves on the ground and some debris were missed by people who were cleaning.
Princess Yuyao didn't know that most of the people in Shoukang Palace had been detained.
She thought it was because Concubine Jin was gone and they were leaderless and couldn't even work properly.
Princess Yuyao actually didn't come here on a special trip, but when she walked nearby, she thought of Princess Yubin.
She was not familiar with this sister Princess Yuyao at all, and the two of them had not even spoken to each other.
Yubing was too young and sick, so Concubine Jin always protected the calf and wouldn't let anyone get close to her daughter.
Princess Yuyao did not admit that she was actually jealous of this sister.
Because her mother Shu Fei has long since died, but Yu Bin is still with her mother.
But now Yubing has become a motherless child.
She is about the same age as Princess Yuyao when she lost her mother.
Gan Xiyun persuaded her softly: "If the imperial concubine knew that the princess was coming, she would be worried."
According to what people often say, if there are people who have just died, this place is not clean and adults should avoid coming here, not to mention that Princess Yuyao is not very old yet.
"I'm not going to Concubine Jin's place."
Princess Yuyao casually asked a eunuch kneeling at the wall in front of her: "Does Princess Yubin still live in the original house?"
The little eunuch quickly replied and said he was still there.
They had just arrived at the door, and Liu Shanggong had already come out to greet them.
There was surprise on her face when she saluted: "Why is Your Highness coming here at this time?
Does your Majesty know?"
"I came back from Yunguang Tower and came to see sister Yubin."
Princess Yuyao acted like a sister: "She is in the house."
"Yes, yes, please come in, Your Highness.
But Princess Yubing just took medicine and fell asleep."
Yu Bin slept on the couch.
Because the windows were closed and the curtains were only half hung, the room seemed very dark.
She was so thin that at first glance it looked like there was no one on the couch.
The quilt seemed to be spread out flatly, with no movement visible at all.
Princess Yuyao walked closer with gentle steps.
Princess Yubing was thinner than she remembered, and she lay there motionless.
She doesn't look like she's asleep when she wakes up
Like, like a dummy that has no breathing, no life.
Princess Yuyao felt a sense of fear in her heart.
She couldn't tell what she was afraid of.
As if to cover up the panic at this moment, Princess Yuyao quickly backed away from the bed.
She handed the two hollow fragrant balls she brought to Liu Shanggong: "Keep them for my sister and let her play with them when she wakes up."
Liu Shanggong took over and thanked Princess Yubin.
He didn't dare to keep Princess Yuyao here any longer, so he quickly sent the little ancestor out.

It would not be a joke if Princess Yuyao got sick in Shoukang Palace.
Liu Shanggong was feeling weak right now.
It turned out that the agreement to take care of Princess Yubin was temporary, and she still had to go back to the eldest prince.
But now that Concubine Jin is dead, nothing is certain.
Now there are not many people left in Shoukang Palace, and the burden on Liu Shanggong's shoulders is even heavier
