Yun Shuyan’s dress fluttered as she ran down from the palace, her willow-like face was filled with a bright smile. Her smile collided with Qi Posheng’s pupils.

She stopped in front of Qi Posheng, holding up the dried fish and shaking it.

“Sister, I made dried fish. I’ll send you some to try in a few days.”

Qi Posheng’s gaze moved away from her radiant face, he coldly “hmm”ed and strode towards the neighboring palace.

Yun Shuyan knew that he liked quiet and didn’t like to interact with others, she didn’t mind his coldness, and continued to talk to herself.

“Sister, our lives will get better and better, there will be meat and vegetables.”

She planned to get some vegetable seeds and cultivate a vegetable patch in the cold palace. Before winter came, she would dry some vegetables and store them, so that she would have vegetables and meat in winter.

Yun Shuyan hadn’t eaten vegetables for a long time, she almost forgot what vegetables tasted like.

The sound of the door opening came from the neighboring palace. Qi Posheng didn’t respond to her, he pushed open the door and went inside.

Yun Shuyan was used to her neighbor disappearing when she was talking, she hung the dried fish on the bamboo poles to dry.

In the evening, the eunuch who delivered the steamed buns pushed open the door and entered the cold palace. He was still cold and indifferent, but he was no longer holding steamed buns, but a dark sandalwood food box.

The food box was placed on the ground, the eunuch said in a bad mood, “Today is the Moon Festival, let you have a good meal.”

Yun Shuyan just looked at him, she didn’t say anything.

After the eunuch left the cold palace, he didn’t want to stay for a second longer.

As soon as the eunuch left, Yun Shuyan couldn’t wait to pick up the food box, she could already smell the fragrance inside before she opened it.

But she didn’t eat immediately, mainly because she didn’t believe the eunuch would be so kind, to give her these good dishes.

She picked up the food box and went to find her beautiful neighbor, to eat with him, and by the way, ask him if he had a silver needle, to test if the food was poisoned.

Yun Shuyan knocked on the door of the neighboring palace, after a while, the door opened, her beautiful neighbor looked down at her with a cold expression.

“Sister, this was just delivered by the eunuch, do you have a silver needle? If it’s not poisoned after we test it, we’ll eat together, what do you think?”

Qi Posheng looked coldly at the food box in her hand, he reached into his sleeve and handed her a silver needle.

Yun Shuyan watched as he took a silver needle out of his sleeve, her black and watery eyes widened, he… he carried a silver needle with him?

She quickly lifted the lid of the food box, Qi Posheng lowered his head and used the silver needle to test the food, he tested all the dishes in the box with the silver needle, the silver needle didn’t change color.

It seemed like she was overthinking.

“Sister, since it’s not poisoned, let’s eat together.”

Yun Shuyan’s happy words were just spoken, she heard him reply, “No need.”

Then the door “bang”ed shut, Yun Shuyan was rejected again, she could only carry the food box back to her palace.

She opened the fragrant food box and enjoyed the delicious dishes by herself.

In the neighboring palace, Qi Posheng frowned, looking at the silver needle he was holding between his fingers, he walked into the palace and put it aside wrapped in a handkerchief, he would ask someone to bury it in the ground tomorrow.

After the Moon Festival, it was the beginning of autumn. Taking advantage of the fact that the weather wasn’t getting cold so fast, Yun Shuyan seized the opportunity to catch fish and dry them.

Because she couldn’t find vegetable seeds, she could only temporarily put the cultivation of the vegetable patch aside. The most important thing now was to stock up on enough dried fish for winter.

She watched as the dried fish piled up, Yun Shuyan sat on the pillar during the day and stared at the dried fish with a smile, she was very satisfied.

At night, when the wind was howling, Yun Shuyan carried her fishing net and jumped over the wall as usual, her movements were smooth and effortless, she had almost made it a muscle memory.

Not far from the cold palace’s quiet lake, a tall and handsome figure walked slowly in front.

Eunuch Chen looked anxiously towards the cold palace not far away, he said to persuade, “Your Majesty, the cold palace is not far away, you…”

Eunuch Chen’s words hadn’t been finished, a slender figure jumped over the high wall of the cold palace! Eunuch Chen was stunned.

The emperor’s personal guards surrounded him, they were about to send someone to capture the person who jumped over the wall.

Leng Jun raised his hand to stop them, he looked through the darkness at the figure who was swaggering, as if he was waiting to see what she would do.

The next moment, the frail figure did something that made them all stunned, the figure actually jumped into the quiet lake!

The moonlight illuminated the scene by the quiet lake clearly. After the figure entered the water, she skillfully took out her fishing net and “swish swish” a few times, she threw two fish from the lake to the ground.

She didn’t catch more, she left the lake, carrying the lively fish, she ran and jumped over the wall, the figure disappeared into the palace wall.

Eunuch Chen recognized that it was Empress Yun who had been thrown into the cold palace, he couldn’t help but sigh, she looked so weak, but she was really agile, no wonder she didn’t look haggard at all, she was actually going out to catch fish every night.

This…

He cautiously looked at the emperor, wondering if the emperor would kill her completely.

The personal guards were also waiting for the emperor’s instructions, Empress Yun’s fate depended on the emperor’s decision.

Leng Jun’s handsome face was unreadable, he looked at the empty palace wall with a cold and emotionless gaze.

“Return to the palace.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Eunuch Chen breathed a sigh of relief for Empress Yun, she was really lucky, she escaped a disaster.

Yun Shuyan carried two fish and jumped back into the cold palace, she had no idea that she was discovered while jumping over the wall to catch fish.

She cleaned the fish, and immediately boiled water to take a bath, this kind of life was still bearable.

Ever since Leng Jun discovered her jumping over the wall to catch fish, Eunuch Chen noticed that the emperor would occasionally walk to the cold palace, and then stand not far away waiting for Empress Yun to jump over the wall to catch fish.

The emperor didn’t expose her, he just quietly watched her perform her actions and disappear into the high wall, then the smoke from the cold palace rose into the night.
