He couldn’t believe that the one who caught the emperor’s attention was Empress Yun, who was thrown into the cold palace.

Yun Shuyan nodded to Eunuch Chen, “Thank you for making the trip.”

“Empress Yun, where are you talking about, it is my honor to deliver the emperor’s gifts to you.”

Eunuch Chen was extremely kind to her. The contempt he had for her at the Moon Festival banquet had disappeared the moment he saw her jump over the wall to catch fish. He admired this concubine who had such a tenacious will to live.

Yun Shuyan thought, as expected of the emperor’s personal eunuch, his way of dealing with people was different.

She bowed to Eunuch Chen and watched him and the palace maids leave the cold palace.

The cold palace returned to its usual desolation. She walked into the palace and carefully checked the quilts and thick clothes that had been sent.

She checked them over and over again. The quilts and thick clothes were obviously made of new fabric, she sniffed them closely and there was no strange smell.

Did the male lead… have a change of heart? Impossible, what kind of person is the male lead? He wouldn’t be able to be an emperor without being ruthless, and he stole the throne from others, his scheming and methods were not something an ordinary person like her could fathom.

Yun Shuyan was worried for a whole day because of the male lead’s sudden “concern.”

Until that day passed, the next morning, she talked to her beautiful neighbor about it.

In the cold and windy cold palace, Yun Shuyan squatted beside Qi Posheng’s rocking chair, muttering questions.

“Sister, can you help me analyze this.”

Qi Posheng didn’t even look at her, he continued to look at the book.

She didn’t care if he heard or not, she continued to ask.

“If someone takes all the family members of another person and exiles them to the frontier, and then confines that person to an abandoned courtyard, leaving them to fend for themselves.”

Yun Shuyan, of course, didn’t dare to say directly that it was the emperor, she could only use an analogy to tell her beautiful neighbor about it.

“Recently, the person who confined her to the abandoned courtyard suddenly sent her winter clothes and quilts, what do you think is the reason?”

Qi Posheng finally moved his gaze from the book to her face, he met her clear and bewildered eyes, there was no trace of showing off or pride.

He asked coldly, “What do you think is the reason?”

If Yun Shuyan knew, she wouldn’t have come to ask him. Facing his question, she sighed, “How would I know the reason, I’m like a helpless lamb, I can’t do anything except be slaughtered by others.”

Qi Posheng looked at her pouting with grievance, she was so beautiful and charming that it made him want to hold her in his arms and gently comfort her.

“Shouldn’t you be happy?”

Happy? Yun Shuyan was a little confused, she looked up and met Qi Posheng’s gaze, it took her a few seconds to understand what he meant.

“Well, I’m a discarded concubine who was thrown into the cold palace, and it was for such a crime, being able to survive is a huge blessing, I can still tell what I shouldn’t be thinking about.”

Not to mention that Yun Shuyan knew the plot of the story, just her crime of treason, she would never be able to leave the cold palace in this life, especially since she had touched the male lead’s “taboo.”

She never fantasized about being able to leave the cold palace one day, and the outside world was even scarier than the cold palace, it was safer to stay inside the cold palace.

Qi Posheng did look at her a little more.

Yun Shuyan leaned closer to him, her moist and full lips touched his ear, she whispered the question she was most worried about.

“Sister, do you think that person wants to take my life?”

She asked this question very quietly and cautiously, she didn’t notice that her lips touched her beautiful neighbor’s earlobe.

Yun Shuyan’s breath was like fragrant air, her warm breath and soft words seemed to be able to steal people’s souls, the tingling sensation spread from her ear to her whole body, straight to Qi Posheng’s heart.

Qi Posheng lowered his eyes, he didn’t respond to her.

Seeing that he didn’t say anything, Yun Shuyan could only deflate and squat aside, using a branch to idly poke at the ground.

“No, if he wanted your life, he wouldn’t need to bother.”

A clear and magnetic voice came from beside her, Yun Shuyan looked up, “Sister makes sense.”

Yes, there was no point in worrying about it. If something happened, it would be her luck if she could escape, and if she couldn’t, it was her destiny.

From early winter to deep winter, the doubts about this matter were forgotten in the corner, she hadn’t thought about it again.

The arrival of winter caught her off guard. There was no heating stove in the palace, and on the first day of the first snow, she huddled under the quilts to keep warm.

Fortunately, she had dried a few dried fish yesterday, she could just tear them apart and eat them when she was hungry.

She was lying in the quilts, half asleep, she didn’t even notice the footsteps in the palace.

Qi Posheng was wearing a moon-white cloak, his long black hair and cloak still had some unfallen snowflakes.

He was like a tall elf who had walked out of the snow, he carried a heating stove in one hand and stepped into Yun Shuyan’s palace.

The palace was desolate and empty, except for the bed, the old wardrobe and screen, and the dried fish hanging on the simple bamboo poles.

The quilt in the middle of the bed was slightly raised, Yun Shuyan’s black hair was a little messy, sticking to her snow-white, almost transparent skin. Her eyes, which usually sparkled with a smile when she saw him, were now closed, her beautiful face, like jade and like a painting, was filled with frailty, making people want to protect her.

Qi Posheng stopped in front of the bed, for some reason, he lowered his head and stared for a long time without saying anything.

Yun Shuyan opened her eyes in a daze, her beautiful neighbor’s figure came into view, she froze, thinking she was dreaming.

“Sister…”

Her soft voice was filled with confusion, she obviously hadn’t fully woken up from her dream.

“Put the heating stove here, the charcoal is by the door, don’t close the window completely.” He said coldly, placing the stove aside.

Yun Shuyan sat up from the bed, her black hair cascaded down, her fair face was full of surprise.

“Thank you for the stove, sister, I… I have nothing to repay you with.”

The only thing she had was dried fish, her beautiful neighbor obviously didn’t like that pile of dried fish.

Qi Posheng glanced at her lightly, “No need.”
