Empress Li frowned and canceled her original plan. She whispered a few words to her maid, who then relayed them to the other concubines.

Yun Shuyan didn’t expect the crisis to be resolved so easily. She watched the dancers gracefully perform in the hall, still contemplating what kind of conspiracy awaited her.

However, after the group dance ended, Empress Li didn’t make any further moves.

Since Empress Yun’s incident, no one in the palace dared to target Pan Liu’er, and no concubine dared to bully her. They were all too busy flattering her.

All the concubines in the palace became much more docile, it was a clear case of making an example of someone.

The Moon Festival banquet ended peacefully. Yun Shuyan followed the other concubines out of the hall, and only when she stepped out of the Banquet Hall did she dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

Although she didn’t know why Empress Li had backed down, she was safe for now.

The concubines automatically parted a path for Yun Shuyan as she walked, afraid of being implicated in any way.

Yun Shuyan couldn’t wait for them to be far away from her. On the way back to the cold palace, there was no eunuch to lead the way.

As she walked, she slowly stopped and looked around with a confused expression. Had she taken a wrong turn?

There was no one around, she couldn’t even ask for directions.

Yun Shuyan could only continue walking, hoping to encounter a palace maid or eunuch to ask for directions.

She walked past the long palace wall and the small path, suddenly her vision became wider, there were artificial mountains and flowing water, and a small path paved with pebbles, it looked like a place for leisurely walks in the back garden.

She heard voices coming from the end of the path, she quickly walked towards it.

Yun Shuyan thought, finally, she encountered someone. She walked towards them in a hurry, but when she saw the people walking ahead, her steps suddenly stopped.

Up close, a tall figure in a bright golden robe, graceful and elegant, his face was extremely handsome, very eye-catching, and he was accompanied by a young man in a court robe.

Two eunuchs followed behind them.

Yun Shuyan felt a sudden tingling sensation on her scalp, she knew that she had inadvertently entered a place she shouldn’t have entered. She subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave, but then she thought that this action would cause trouble, so she stopped turning around and stiffly turned back.

Under the bright sunshine, withered yellow leaves fell around her, her stiffness and restraint were clearly seen by the cold and sharp gaze.

Leng Jun had been practicing martial arts since he was young, he had discovered her as soon as she appeared.

His black and deep pupils stopped their conversation with the others, looking at the woman who was in a “difficult situation” not far away.

“Your Majesty…” The court official in an official robe didn’t hear the emperor’s response, his heart was filled with anxiety, he thought he had said something wrong.

Eunuch Chen saw the concubine standing opposite, he took a closer look and realized that it was Empress Yun, who had been thrown into the cold palace.

He was extremely unhappy in his heart, he blamed Empress Yun for not being able to see reality and still running to pester the emperor.

Eunuch Chen gave the eunuch beside him a look, the eunuch immediately understood and walked towards Empress Yun.

“Your Majesty, that’s Empress Yun, I’ll have someone drive her away.” Eunuch Chen said respectfully to Leng Jun.

Leng Jun remained silent, as if he agreed with his actions.

Yun Shuyan stood still, not daring to move. This wasn’t modern times, one careless move and she would be playing for real.

She watched as a eunuch walked towards her, although the eunuch looked down on her, but since the emperor was standing not far away, his attitude was relatively polite.

Before the eunuch could speak, Yun Shuyan asked him first, “Which way is the cold palace?”

The eunuch didn’t expect her to ask that, he was stunned for a moment, seeing her unable to hide her anxious expression, “Please follow me, Empress Yun, I’ll lead the way.”

Yun Shuyan quickly nodded, “Thank you.”

She didn’t dare to look in any direction, she didn’t even dare to glance in that direction, her body was extremely stiff as she bowed slightly towards the emperor, she walked quickly at first, but after a few steps, her feet felt like they were on fire, she couldn’t wait to leave the emperor’s sight.

Leng Jun saw her fear of him, his eyes remained unmoved, cold enough to suffocate.

Eunuch Chen, who was standing beside him, watched Empress Yun leave in a hurry, it seemed like she wasn’t pestering the emperor, but… she was lost.

Eunuch Chen remembered Empress Yun’s actions before she was thrown into the cold palace, he was sure that she was trying to play hard to get with the emperor, it was a pity for such an appearance.

At this time, Yun Shuyan quickly walked back to the palace wall and the small path, the eunuch was about to catch up with her.

The eunuch secretly wiped his sweat, looking at Empress Yun who was walking quickly, she was indeed the daughter of the general’s mansion, after being thrown into the cold palace, her spirit was still so good.

With the eunuch leading the way, Yun Shuyan smoothly returned to the cold palace. She discovered that the cold palace wasn’t scary at all, the outside of the cold palace was much scarier.

She politely thanked the eunuch before entering the cold palace.

The eunuch was originally very disgusted with her, but… he couldn’t be disgusted anymore. Seeing her walk into the desolate cold palace, he couldn’t help but sigh, such a beautiful and lively woman was going to spend the rest of her life in the cold palace, who told her to touch the emperor’s bottom line, Empress Yun… you’re so foolish.

Yun Shuyan walked into the cold palace with a lingering fear, the cold palace door behind her was locked, she didn’t look back.

She thought that the Moon Festival banquet would be the crisis, but the crisis was hidden after the banquet, fortunately, it was all safe in the end.

She narrowed her eyes and looked at the sun above her head, she quickly ran back to the palace and took out the dried fish she had hidden, she couldn’t waste this sunshine.

She held the dried fish that had been drying for half a month, and walked out of the palace leisurely.

Qi Posheng passed by the door of her palace, his figure was as graceful as a crane, even the cold wind seemed to favor him, his long black hair and robe were perfectly flowing, every part of him was extremely pleasing to the eye.

Yun Shuyan saw that it was her beautiful neighbor, she happily ran towards him with the dried fish.

“Sister!”

Her soft call made Qi Posheng stop, he frowned and looked towards the source of the sound.

He saw a dazzling and graceful figure running towards him, the sunlight gave her a thin layer of halo.
