Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

Holding a small red lantern, he walked slowly towards us step by step.

He even bent down and put the unconscious Xiao Hei into his pocket.

Shen Zhishu looked at the person in front of him with some surprise.

He looked to be about six or seven years old, with a pale face and thin body, but he had a pair of very dark eyes, which looked lifeless.

If you look closely, it looks like a puppet.

When he spoke, his tone was flat.

"Is this the snake you raised?"

How could there be such a young child in the cold palace?

Shen Zhishu was very surprised.

"No, they are wild. There are many poisonous snakes, insects, rats and ants here, so we usually don't go out at night."

The little boy shook his head, his tone calm.

Seeing that Shen Zhishu was still staring at his pocket, he took two steps back.

"This is what you threw away. I picked it up and it's mine."

Is that expression because he's afraid that Shen Zhishu will snatch the snake from him?

"So what did you mean just now? It's too late for us to get out now, so do you have any solution?"

The little boy looked at Shen Zhishu and saw that she was sitting in a wheelchair, with a puzzled look on his face.

He seemed very curious about her identity.

"If you have a way to help us detoxify, then this is for you."

Shen Zhishu took out some change from his pocket.

The little boy was slightly stunned, and there was some life in his lifeless eyes.

He stared at Shen Zhishu motionlessly for a long while.

Finally, he stretched out his hand and tentatively tried to grab the silver.

Shen Zhishu didn't move until he grabbed the silver and put it in his pocket.

"Then come with me."

For the sake of the silver, he led them to one of the small houses in front.

There was firewood burning in the house, making it very warm.

The place was small and shabby, with a lot of junk piled up in the corners, but otherwise it was clean and tidy.

The little boy locked the door after entering the house.

Then, someone handed over a piece of black and wrinkled rag, something he had found out of nowhere.

There is some black medicinal powder inside, which looks more like black charcoal.

"Give her some water to drink, and she'll be fine after she drinks it."

The little boy seemed confident.

Is it reliable? What if a child of only six or seven years old thinks this is a game for children?

Shen Zhishu was a little hesitant.

But Xiaodie reacted quickly. She filled a bowl in the house with water, pinched Bitao's nose, poured the medicine powder in, added water, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Scared half to death, Bitao didn't resist and still had the same expression after being fed.

Shen Zhishu immediately felt that he had been careless. How could he trust a child? It would be more reliable to go to the imperial physician.

"You were sent here because you offended the noble, right? I don't think you can get out, so why not wait here? If your maid dies in a while, I will give you my life as compensation."

The child actually knew what she was thinking.

Shen Zhishu was a little surprised and couldn't help but look at him twice more.

"She's just a maid, and she looks stupid. It would be better if she dies and is replaced by a smart one."

Then he said in an extremely mature tone, how does this tone sound like that of a six or seven-year-old child?

"Bi Tao and I grew up together. We have a deep bond as master and servant. Your life cannot compare to hers."

Hearing this, the little boy just glanced at her indifferently.

Then he sat down by the fire, took out the snake, picked up a knife and started to deal with it.

After a while, the little black snake was roasted on the fire.

The little boy had a blank expression on his face throughout the whole process, but it made Shen Zhishu's scalp tingle.

"What's your name? Why are you here?"

At this moment, there were really a lot of things she wanted to know.

"My mother called me Gou Wa, and I have been here since I was born."

So he doesn't even have a proper name.

"Then your mother..."

"My mother has also been living here. I've heard from other aunts that my mother is His Majesty's concubine."

"So you are..."

The little boy spoke of his life story calmly.

However, Shen Zhishu felt that it was a bolt of thunder, which made her dizzy.

"I'm not."

The little boy obviously knew what she meant and answered calmly and indifferently, as if he was talking about someone else's business.

The little prince in the cold palace?

Shen Zhishu didn't quite believe the identity of the man in front of him, because if he was really a prince, even if he was born to a concubine in the cold palace, even if he was not favored, he should have a decent place to live.

And how come no one knows about it and no one cares about it?

Is this cold palace usually guarded by guards and eunuchs?

Something isn't quite right.

I was led here by Concubine Yue's people, and then locked up here, and then I met this guy named Gou Wa.

Is it a bureau?

"What about your mother?"

What exactly did Concubine Yue mean by sending such a sensitive little boy to see her?

"Next door, she was mentally ill, so we lived separately."

The conversation we had that day was so natural.

Shen Zhishu couldn't help but look at Xiaodie who was taking care of Bitao. She felt that she needed help now.

It was getting very late.

Concubine Hui had just finished washing up and was waiting for the palace maid to lie down on the bed.

"Your Majesty, don't we really need to send someone to the cold palace to take a look? What if Concubine Yue is cruel and causes someone's death..."

"That's her own destiny."

Concubine Hui had a cold expression on her face, seeming indifferent. She was like two completely different people in front of Shen Zhishu.

"But how are we going to explain this to the Queen?"

"If the concubine of the King of Qin has only this ability, she is of no help to the King of Qin. She is not the King of Qin's sweetheart, nor is she as powerful as the King of Qin's wife. It's just that a concubine died, and another one can be replaced."

The tone was so cold as if he was talking about anyone.

"Besides, I have left her a surprise in the cold palace. If she has the ability, she can make Concubine Yue fall flat on her face."

As the subject changed, Concubine Hui's eyes were filled with a cold light.

In a short while, the snake meat was roasted.

Gou Wa cut the meat into two pieces, put one piece in a broken bowl, then moved the debris on the wall behind him, revealing a dog hole.

I saw him crawling through the dog hole and entering the next room.

That should be where his biological mother lived.

Within two seconds, he crawled back in again. His already dirty clothes were now covered with a layer of dust, making them even dirtier.

"If you want to survive here, you have to rely on yourself for everything. No one will send you food or money. But considering that we know each other, I can let you stay here tonight. You can find a house by yourself at dawn."

Gou Wa ate the snake meat in the bowl with no intention of sharing it with them. He even ate it voraciously, fearing that it would be snatched away.

Are they treating them as concubines sent to the cold palace?

But Shen Zhishu has always been worried that this was a trap set by Concubine Yue, and what Gou Wa said might not be the truth. Who knows, maybe this is a show?

"You said there would be no one to help you, so how did you grow up?"

Xiaodie suddenly asked.

Bitao looks much better now, and doesn't look like she's going to be poisoned.
