Fortunately, there was still some leftover firewood inside. She walked into the pitch-black small kitchen, found the flint and picked up some firewood, and quickly walked back to the well.

She gathered some dry grass to start a fire. In no time, she successfully ignited the dry grass with the flint, and she hurriedly covered it with firewood.

By the time she finished grilling the fish, her fair face was covered with charcoal dust, and she was covered in soot.

Yun Shuyan looked at the grilled fish, her eyes lit up. It was a little hot, but she didn’t care. She tore open the cooked fish and started to eat.

Even though the fish was a little burnt, she thought it was a delicacy.

“What are you doing?”

A clear, magnetic voice came from behind her. Yun Shuyan was startled by the sudden voice.

She jumped and turned around.

Her beautiful neighbor was dressed in a cool, moon-white robe, the night wind blew his black hair that was draped over his back, like a bright moon hanging in the night sky, beautiful enough to make people dare not defile it.

His emotionless eyes were fixed on her, Yun Shuyan felt inexplicably nervous.

“I… I’m making a fire and grilling fish.”

Qi Posheng looked down at her sooty face, silent.

Yun Shuyan felt a little embarrassed, she raised the grilled fish that was skewered with a branch in her hand and asked him, “Sister, would you like some fish?”

As soon as she asked the question, although her beautiful neighbor’s expression didn’t change, she could see a flash of disgust.

“No need.”

Qi Posheng looked at the equally black and burnt fish on the branch, he slowly took a step back.

Yun Shuyan saw his disgust and explained awkwardly, “This fish is from the lake outside…” It’s a delicious fish.

“Hmm, remember to put out the fire.”

Yun Shuyan nodded, “Thank you, sister, for lending me the clothes and quilts.”

Qi Posheng met her black, bright eyes, his turning movement paused slightly, then he indifferently looked away, his tall figure slowly left.

Yun Shuyan watched the figure walk into the neighboring palace, she had a strange sense of security with this beautiful neighbor around.

And he was so tall, he had to be over 185 cm tall, and he was also stunningly beautiful, no one in the entire palace could compare to her beautiful neighbor, except for the original owner.

She came back to her senses from her amazement and quickly finished the fish before it cooled down.

After finishing the fish, she washed her hands and feet by the well and went back to the palace to change out of her dirty clothes.

Her beautiful neighbor’s clothes were quite long, they were loose and baggy on her, and the clothes smelled faintly of cold plum blossoms.

Yun Shuyan fiddled with it for a while before the skirt stopped dragging on the ground.

She quickly carried the clothes she had changed out of and washed them by the well, then hung them on the bamboo poles.

She was exhausted from a whole day of activity, and Yun Shuyan fell asleep almost as soon as she covered herself with the quilts.

After the morning mist dissipated, dewdrops hung on the weeds that grew out of the cracks in the unkempt cold palace.

Yun Shuyan was afraid of rain, so she got up early to see if the clothes she had hung out to dry were dry.

She stood where she had hung the clothes, reached out and touched the clothes that were still slightly damp. They should be dry by noon.

The clothes her beautiful neighbor had lent her were comfortable, they also smelled faintly of fragrance, but they were too big and loose on her, and she had to lift up her skirt from time to time when she walked to avoid dragging it on the ground.

Once the clothes she had hung out to dry were dry, she immediately changed out of them, otherwise it would be inconvenient to move, especially at night when she had to climb the wall to catch fish.

Until noon, Yun Shuyan lazily sat on the pillar to bask in the sun.

Not far away, on the rocking chair, Qi Posheng raised his hand, holding a book, his expression focused, his pupils under the sunlight were amber, deep and mysterious.

The cold palace, which was always known for its “terror,” unexpectedly exuded a touch of warmth at this moment.

Yun Shuyan had eaten fish last night and half a steamed bun this morning, her stomach was full, and she had nothing to worry about for now.

It was only peaceful for a short time, in the afternoon, the cold palace, unusually, welcomed a “distinguished guest.”

Yun Shuyan woke up from her nap and had just walked out of her palace when she heard the door of the cold palace making a noise, someone seemed to be unlocking it outside.

After a series of clinking sounds, the door of the cold palace was opened.

The eunuch who had been so disgusted with her the past two days was now smiling obsequiously. He pushed open the door of the cold palace, making it easier for the person outside to come in.

“Empress He, please come in. Be careful where you step, don’t let the cursed things in this cold palace dirty your shoes.” The eunuch said, bowing.

He Fei picked up her embroidered handkerchief and covered the lower half of her delicate face, her brows and eyes were full of disgust. If it weren’t to anger Yun Shuyan, she wouldn’t come to this cursed place.

Yun Shuyan watched this group of people walk up to her with disgust, they were so disgusted yet they still walked up to her to show off, how much did this Empress He care about her?

In the neighboring palace, Qi Posheng heard the commotion, he raised his eyes with displeasure, a group of people were walking towards Yun Shuyan. His expression didn’t change, his brows and eyes were full of indifference.

“Empress Yun, it’s been a few days…” He Fei wanted to say something to hurt her, but after looking at her for a few moments, she couldn’t say the words “you look much more haggard.”

The woman in front of her was wearing the clothes she had been thrown into the cold palace in. Her black hair was scattered over her slender shoulders and back, her plain, beautiful face was filled with a delicate and pitiful beauty, her whole body was still beautiful enough to make people admire her.

“You seem to be living quite comfortably.” He Fei saw her appearance and immediately changed her tone, she had a murderous intent towards her again.

Yun Shuyan’s expression was very calm, “Comfortable? Empress He, why don’t you come and live in the cold palace for a few days?”

As soon as she said these outrageous words, He Fei didn’t rush, but the maid standing beside her was the first to blush.

“You’re talking nonsense…” The maid was too anxious to finish her sentence, and He Fei raised her hand to stop her.

He Fei looked her up and down again, carefully observing her for a few seconds before asking, “When you were thrown into the cold palace, this palace heard that you had gone mad, have you recovered now?”
