She didn’t even have bedding to sleep on. She was simply thrown into the cold palace, and those people never thought about giving her a chance to survive.
The beauty on the rocking chair remained indifferent. Yun Shuyan’s hopeful gaze gradually drooped.
She sighed faintly, almost imperceptibly, and stopped asking her “neighbor” for help. She turned and walked away.
Of course, how could there be extra clothes when they were both in the cold palace?
The “beauty” on the rocking chair blinked. He slowly raised his eyes, and the thin figure that came into view was filled with helplessness and loneliness. She seemed to be very cold, she kept hugging her arms.
He only glanced at her, then continued reading with a cold expression.
Yun Shuyan took advantage of the daylight to walk around the cold palace, hoping to find some discarded bedding.
Most of the cold palace had not been stepped on for a long time. The wind blew, and the doors creaked, adding to the desolate and empty palace, a perfect horror movie vibe.
Yun Shuyan endured her hunger and walked around the area. The cold palace was smaller than she imagined, and after walking around for a long time, she still came up empty-handed.
She could only return to her original spot, sitting on the stone pillar bathed in sunlight to conserve her already limited energy.
In her previous life, she accidentally fell off a cliff and lost her life. Now, she didn’t want to lose her life so quickly again.
But her current situation was too dire, Yun Shuyan was also very distressed, how could she get warm clothes and food?
She thought of the books she had read in her previous life, people who traveled through time usually had a system. She was also traveling through time, why didn’t she have one?
Yun Shuyan’s thoughts were in a mess, it seemed like every path was blocked.
She sat on the stone pillar until dusk, still helpless, and it seemed like she would have to leave it to fate.
The door of the cold palace made a sound. Yun Shuyan froze for two seconds, then immediately stood up from the stone pillar.
The door was opened from the outside, a eunuch in a blue-gray robe revealed a face with sparse eyebrows, furrowed brows, and a look of disgust.
He glared at Yun Shuyan, muttering some unpleasant words, and placed a broken bowl on the ground. The steamed bun inside the bowl shook.
“Eat it, it won’t kill you.” The eunuch finished speaking, backed out of the door, closed the door again and locked it, as if it was a cursed place, he was disgusted to stay for even a second longer.
Yun Shuyan frowned, walked over and picked up the bowl with a missing edge. The steamed bun inside had already gone cold and hard.
Something to eat was better than starving.
When the eunuch opened the door, a corner of the lake was visible not far away. She wondered if there were any fish in that lake…
Yun Shuyan was about to return to the palace with the steamed bun, her gaze fell on the empty rocking chair. She looked down at the steamed bun in the bowl, the eunuch had only given her one steamed bun.
She hesitated for a moment, then broke the steamed bun in half and walked slowly to the next palace.
The door was closed, she raised her hand and knocked a few times, the sound of “knock knock” was particularly clear in the empty cold palace.
There was no movement inside. Yun Shuyan said to the door, “Sister, I have half a steamed bun here, I’ll leave it at the door.”
She had just squatted down, ready to put the bowl on the ground, when the closed door creaked open.
The door opened, the setting sun shone on him, the beauty looked at her with indifferent eyes.
Yun Shuyan didn’t expect her neighbor to be so tall! It was already unbelievable that he was so beautiful, but his aura was also very imposing, making her unconsciously take a step back.
“Sister, this half a steamed bun…”
Before she could finish her sentence, the “beauty” spoke, his voice also androgynous.
“No need to give it to me.”
Hearing his cool and magnetic voice, Yun Shuyan realized that he might want to commit suicide, she wanted to persuade him, but her stomach beat her to it, making a “gurgling” sound of hunger.
She stood there awkwardly.
This neighbor seemed not to have heard, he asked her coldly, “Anything else?”
Yun Shuyan instinctively shook her head, as soon as she stopped shaking her head, the door in front of her closed again.
She looked at the closed door, this neighbor was much colder than she imagined.
Yun Shuyan carried the steamed bun back to her palace, she was worried about how to spend the cold night when she caught a glimpse of something.
She stopped and looked closely, she saw two pieces of clothing and a thick quilt placed on the stone pillar on the left.
Yun Shuyan stared at it in disbelief for a few seconds before running over to look left and right, was this… her neighbor lending it to her?
Yun Shuyan recovered from her surprise, she turned to look at the neighboring palace that had already sunk into darkness. She didn’t even know when the other party took these clothes and quilts over.
It turned out… the beautiful neighbor wasn’t cold, he was just a man of few words.
Yun Shuyan’s heart, which had been hanging, finally settled. It seemed like she could sleep well tonight, she wouldn’t have to freeze anymore.
She first put the steamed bun back in the palace, then carried the clothes and quilts from the pillar, and couldn’t wait to spread the quilts on the wooden bed.
The sky had already fallen into darkness, the already desolate cold palace was even more eerie and terrifying.
Yun Shuyan was already famished, she picked up the steamed bun in the bowl and ate it bite by bite. Although the steamed bun was dry and hard to swallow, she ate it with relish.
She only ate half, leaving the other half for tomorrow. Who knew if anyone would come to deliver food tomorrow.
After eating half a steamed bun, her stomach felt better.
At night, the omnipresent coldness intensified.
Yun Shuyan lay under the quilts to keep warm. Her current situation was no different from surviving in the wild, how could she survive on half a steamed bun every day, maybe she wouldn’t even have steamed buns to eat in the future.
She needed to save herself.
After lying in bed and thinking for a long time, Yun Shuyan decided to try her luck at the lake outside the cold palace, to see if she could catch some fish.
Moonlight spilled into the desolate palace, it was late at night, and it was even colder inside.
Fortunately, there were crickets chirping to keep her company, otherwise it would have been too quiet.
Yun Shuyan had been lost in thought all day, she was already tired and sleepy, and gradually fell asleep in the warmth.
