Every move, every gesture is full of noble and atmospheric princess demeanor, this person ...... Who the hell is it?

The "eldest princess" left without hesitation, leaving a room of silence, silent. After a while, Yun Xiu smiled and said, "Well, if you hear too much, you will get tired of it, what does the emperor think?" ”

Zheng Yu's face sank and he waved his hand. Duan Ye raised his voice and shouted: "The emperor is tired, let's go down today." ”

Ning Yan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, bowed with her eyes and nose, and bent down to withdraw from the hall.

At this time, it was already the middle of the moon, and the cold moonlight cast a layer of sadness on the whole palace. As soon as the cold wind blew, she suddenly felt that her back was soaked. Once upon a time, the world-famous princess of Donghe Protector would end up like this, and she needed to become another person to escape this cage-like place. She smiled bitterly and stared blankly at the brightly lit Chengqing Palace.

When he was out of his mind, a sharp voice sounded behind him: "What kind of god?" Why don't you hurry up and go with the miscellaneous family? ”

Ning Yan was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed to salute, but the afterglow swept Duan Ye's dark purple eunuch robe.

Duan Ye walked briskly in front, and she had to follow behind. She didn't have the ability to change that person's voice, and she was afraid that she would be recognized by Duan Ye as soon as she spoke, so she had no choice but to endure her doubts and follow all the way.

Strangely, Duan Ye gradually became more and more remote, turning all the way to a dilapidated palace that was inaccessible. Ning Yan frowned and thought for a long time, before she remembered that this place was called "Cold Palace", and it was the location of the Cold Palace for generations. When the first emperor was alive, there were not many concubines, and the cold hall was always vacant. Until the twenty-second year of Chengjia, a major event happened in the palace.

A court maid was found to be five months pregnant. There are no eunuchs in the palace, and the others are only the emperor's guards. It is a capital offense for the guards and the palace maids to give and accept each other. Moreover, the guards are generally in the outer palace, and they cannot enter the inner palace where the palace ladies and concubines are located. So this kid ...... Whose is it exactly? There are rumors in the palace that this is the illegitimate son of the emperor after he is drunk. At that time, Queen Duanyi had already left the palace, and the harem was dominated by the more noble concubines.

Immediately, Concubine Yue ordered her to be imprisoned in the Cold Secluded Palace until the truth was discovered. In the cold winter, the cold wind in the cold hall is swishing, cold to the bones, no warm soup and food, no bedding and cold clothes. The pregnant palace maid was frozen and fainted several times, and there was an old palace man who couldn't go down anymore, so he sent in a few worn-out quilts. As a result, the next day, the old palace people were killed by the rod outside the cold and secluded hall in full view of everyone. Since then, no one has dared to take a step closer to the Cold Shadow Palace.

At that time, Empress Duanyi left the palace in anger, and Emperor Xiaoyuan was depressed and ignored the affairs of the harem, and the more noble concubines did whatever they wanted.

Ten days later, Concubine Yue's personal palace was ordered to check, but found that the poor woman had frozen to death, and her face was hideous and stiff with extreme pain. There was a pool of black blood underneath him, and a mass of unknown things.

Since then, the Cold Secluded Hall has been deserted, and no one dares to set foot in it.

She had never been here before, only passing outside in a sedan chair from afar. Now when I enter the inside, I find that the inside has fallen into disrepair and is dilapidated. Unknown weeds grew through the cracks in the bricks and tiles into the once prosperous palace, and a sense of desolation and gloom arose.

But...... What did Duan Ye do when he brought a servant to this place? Don't...... She has also heard a little about the palace maids and eunuchs, but they are just idle and boring to be each other's companions. Many old eunuchs have been sent to the palace since they were young, and they have stayed in this slap-sized place all their lives, which is extremely pitiful.

She stopped suddenly, and Duan Ye in front heard that there was no movement behind her, and also stopped.

Ning Yan suddenly smiled and said softly, "Grandpa Duan, what's the matter...... Not leaving? She spoke casually, and her words revealed the majesty and domineering that she had been in a high position for a long time.

Duan Ye trembled, and fell to his knees with a "poof": "The old slave visited the eldest princess, and asked the eldest princess to forgive the crime of disrespect just now." ”

It is a strange thing to be bowed down in such a desolate courtyard.

However, she couldn't care much more, and she frowned: "It seems that ...... You know that? ”

Duan Ye kowtowed three times in a row: "Please forgive the eldest princess, the noble man said that there is a secret passage under the cold and secluded palace here, and the princess can leave quietly from the secret passage without being discovered by the emperor." ”

Ning Yan pondered for a long time and said in a deep voice: "What else do you know? ”

"The noble man only commanded and brought you here, and I don't know anything else." Duan Ye replied tremblingly, not daring to raise his head.

Ning Yan suddenly laughed: "What? Am I scary? ”

Duan Ye shook his head, still not daring to raise his head.

"It seems that this cold hall is the only place where there is no dark whistle. Anyway, let's go back first when my father-in-law's business is over, be careful on the road, don't be discovered. Hongu ...... I will remember my father-in-law's kindness today. Ning Yan smiled, her eyes were still deep, and the smile obviously did not reach the bottom of her heart.

By the faint light of a little candle, the shadows in the cold and secluded hall were full of shadows, flickering and dimming. Duan Ye bowed respectfully, handed the candle to her hand, and slowly walked out of the hall. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, as if he wanted to say something. But in the end he didn't say anything, but sighed, "The princess is gone...... It's better not to come back. He shook his head and walked out of the hall.

The back looks very old in the night.

Ning Yan stared at it for a long time before taking a deep breath, turning around and walking towards the center of the hall. At this point, she can't turn back, and she can't turn back. It won't be the other side, it may be a cliff back.

When Master touched her bones back then, did he already expect this day? So he repeatedly held her hand with tears in his eyes and said to her, Yan'er, Master doesn't know if this will hurt you? If you settle down, you should withdraw as soon as possible, find a good family, and live an ordinary life with peace of mind.

But who can blame it? The road after that was chosen by herself, even if she knelt, she had to finish it.

The cold hall was covered with cobwebs and dust. She held a candle in one hand and a long stick in the other. Broken tables, chairs and benches are scattered all over the place, and there are many broken porcelain on the floor. She frowned and walked inside. It's not that she's not afraid, but at this time she has no energy to be afraid. Where will the mechanism that is full of secret passages be?

This was once a cold palace, and it stands to reason that there should not be a secret passage. If so, where?

Inadvertently, she saw a painting hanging on the wall of the inner room, showing a beautiful woman with washed lead and heavy makeup. Dressed in a moon-white gorgeous palace dress, the inky green silk combs a delicate bun.
