156 Solucary Confinement
The Hail Snow Palace was indeed as heavily guarded as rumored, and there were more than a dozen guards with expressionless faces and long swords at the door alone. They stood upright at the gate like bronze statues, and did not even roll their eyes when they saw the carriage stopped outside the door.
With her previous experience, Shen Yan'er could now tell from their attire that they were members of the Imperial Front Team. Perhaps affected by the solemn and solemn atmosphere of the scene, Shen Yan'er couldn't help but swallow her saliva and finally became nervous.
"Miss Yan'er, please forgive the old slave for being rude." Grandpa An's voice drew Shen Yan'er's attention back to the carriage. He took out a piece of black square cloth from his pocket, folded it lightly a few times unhurriedly, folded the square cloth into a long strip, and got closer to Shen Yan'er with both hands, saying, "According to the emperor's orders, you must be blindfolded next." β
Shen Yan'er did not resist, obediently closed her eyes and sat back in her place. When she saw Grandpa An take out the black cloth, she had already guessed that there would be such a procedure. This just proves that there are indeed important people living in the Hail Snow Palace that the emperor does not want to be seen by others.
Does he not want to see Baoyin himself, or does he not want to see the emperor himself? Or is it ......
Thinking of this, Shen Yan'er's heart trembled. She came up with a bold guess. Did he not want to let himself see Yu'er? Is Yu'er really locked up here?
This is the most heavily guarded place in the entire palace, and it is also a forbidden place strictly guarded by the imperial team directly under the orders of the emperor. Shen Yan'er knew in her heart that the reason why the emperor locked her up here was because he was afraid that the poison of the walking corpse on her body would suddenly explode without warning and cause irreparable bloody disasters in the palace.
It's really hard to get through the iron shoes, and it's nowhere to go. Shen Yan'er was worried that she couldn't find a way to sneak into the Hail Snow Palace to investigate intelligence, so the emperor locked herself in "empatheticly". Shen Yan'er was not only not afraid, but also excited.
After being blindfolded, Shen Yan'er gently put her hand on the back of his hand according to Grandpa An's instructions, and then Grandpa An led her up the steps, crossed the threshold, and walked up the "twists and turns" corridor of the Hailsnow Palace.
Such "twists and turns" should be artificial, and Shen Yan'er had expected it a long time ago. Father-in-law An deliberately took her around the palace in a circle, just to prevent her from secretly remembering the way.
Not only that, Grandpa An also talked to Shen Yan'er while walking, further disturbing her memory. "Miss Yan'er, I don't know if you've heard of the place of the Hailyuki Palace from Izumo? The old slave must advise you that you must not move around at will unless you have the permission of the emperor here. The Imperial Front Team has the right to kill you. β
Hearing this, Shen Yan'er suddenly "chuckled" in her heart. She had long seen the ruthlessness of the Imperial Front Team, so she had no doubt about Grandpa An's words. Feeling that An Gonggong was waiting for her response, Shen Yan'er nodded obediently.
Then, Gonggong An continued: "There is another thing, which the emperor specially instructed me to sue you. If you figure it out, he's always ready to tell him the secret of the poison of the walking dead. He will surely come to see you as quickly as possible. β
It turned out that the emperor did not plan to torture himself to extract a confession, but instead took the route of overcoming rigidity with softness. Shen Yan'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she had no intention of opening her mouth at all, for fear that she would disappoint the emperor.
After walking for a while, Father-in-law An suddenly stopped and said, "Miss Yan'er, we have arrived, this is your room." As he spoke, Shen Yan'er heard him push open the door. Immediately afterwards, an unexpected voice came from the room that Shen Yan'er had not expected: "Miss! β
Shen Yan'er immediately heard that it was a quiet voice, and she was immediately frightened. Without waiting for Grandpa An to slowly untie the black cloth for her, she tore the black cloth off her eyes herself.
"It's quiet!" Shen Yan'er also screamed, staring at Jing Hao who was facing her in disbelief. Jing Hao grabbed Shen Yan'er's arm, looked Shen Yan'er's whole body up and down, frowned worriedly and asked, "Miss, are you okay?" β
Yesterday, Shen Yan'er was forcibly taken out of the room by the iron-faced Sima Guo and two arrogant and rude guards, and Jing Hao was probably frightened. Jing Hao's face now also looks very pale, her eyes are slightly red, and there are black marks hanging under her eye sockets, Shen Yan'er knows at a glance that she definitely didn't sleep well last night.
Shen Yan'er, who was distressed and quiet, patted her hand lightly and said gently, "Don't worry, I'm fine." "Anyway, Jing Hao can't help much, and Shen Yan'er doesn't want her to be in danger because she knows too much, so she decides to hide everything. In order to divert Jing Hao's attention, Shen Yan'er then asked, "Why are you here?" β
"Grandpa An brought me here." As he spoke, Jing Hao subconsciously moved his gaze to Gonggong An on the side. Only then did he suddenly remember that he had forgotten the rules, and hurriedly bowed his head to Grandpa An.
Father-in-law An didn't bother with her, but said to Shen Yan'er: "From now on, she will still serve you." Rest well, the old slave has taken his leave. After speaking, he saluted Shen Yan'er and turned around to leave.
"Grandpa An!" Shen Yan'er hurriedly stopped him, "Where does the emperor allow me to move?" β
Hearing this, Father-in-law An turned his head to look at Shen Yan'er, pointed to the courtyard outside, and said, "Now you can only move in this courtyard." Look thereβ" He said, pointing to the entrance of the courtyard, where two unsmiling guards stood. "You can't get out of that door, you know?"
"Is there anyone else here besides me?" Shen Yan'er asked with deep meaning, staring nervously at Grandpa An's eyes. I thought to myself, even if he didn't answer, maybe I could see some clues in his gaze.
However, Grandpa An hesitated for a while, but still answered Shen Yan'er's question positively: "Of course there is." But without the emperor's permission, you won't be able to see you for the time being. β

In this way, Shen Yan'er lived in the Hail Snow Palace. Every day, apart from Jing Hao and the guards, she never saw anyone else. Three meals a day were delivered by the guards, and even Jinghao couldn't get out of this courtyard. Such a day is no different from being in prison, one day or two days is fine, but by the third day, Shen Yan'er was about to collapse.
She didn't know anything about the outside world, she couldn't hear anything from the outside world, as if there was only one master and three servants left in the whole world, and even the cats and dogs were dead.
Phoenix Ke never appeared again, as if he no longer cared about the wound in Shen Yan'er's neck socket. Every day was almost eerily calm, and Shen Yan'er had to suspect that Feng Feng Ke wanted to use such a method to drive herself crazy and let herself tell her secrets.
There's only one way to turn things around. Shen Yan'er couldn't help but recall over and over what Grandpa An told herself three days ago: "If you figure it out, you can sue Emperor SΓΉ at any time, and he will come to see you as quickly as possible." β
