I don't know if it was unintentional, maybe it was intentional, Yun Zhi walked towards the uninhabited Xiyan Palace.

The beautiful girl in white in Xiyan Palace wanted to rest early, but it was obviously far away from the noisy and lively hall, but the sound of singing and dancing and frolicking also reached this courtyard, and it was not loud or even very light, but it was still a little noisy in this excessively quiet courtyard.

The little palace maid Yu'er had already slipped out to play, so that only the third princess of Naxi was left alone, but she was also used to quiet days, but such a noisy sound made her feel uncomfortable, quickly dressed and walked under the plane tree.

When she was nine years old, she lost her parents, her home, and her country, and her little princess Mercury was thrown into this palace with no temperature at all, and only an old woman took care of her food and clothing. Alone, she cried and made trouble, and her tears fell day and night, but no matter how desperately she screamed, her tears cried out, and her voice was hoarse, and the old woman would not look at her, and let her go crazy. It was her resistance without eating or drinking, that the old woman would forcibly pry open her mouth and pour food, just to ensure her life.

The little girl stayed in this uninhabited palace every day and every night, and the surroundings were empty, deserted, and miserable, like an ice vault without sunlight forever. The girl could only hold her body by herself, curled up in the corner of the bed, tears flowed, she couldn't cry anymore, her voice couldn't make a sound anymore, she was completely dumb, the clothes on her body were obviously not thin, but she was still so cold, a kind of biting cold from the heart to the outside, shivering all over her body, until she couldn't shake anymore, like a jade doll without a soul, a sculpture that would not move.

No one would really care about her anymore, and she would no longer have a father who loved her, a mother who loved her, everyone who loved her, and a country that protected her. Midnight dreams, all the sky is full of blood, the mountains of corpses piled up by the people of the water country, the high water country into the upper floor, her father and mother have closed their eyes forever, the cold touch, the heartbeat that is gone, like a nightmare, surround her, until her heart is numb.

After despair and disappointment again and again, she began to close her heart, no longer crying, unwilling to say another word, no longer had focus in her eyes, and only wore the white clothes that were the most similar to the color of shrouds every day, silently isolated from this ruthless world.

I don't know when, the old woman left this palace, and came this little palace maid Yu'er, who was not a few years older than her. Yu'er never treated her sincerely, she just dealt with her perfunctorily, and she didn't care, for her, there was nothing that could make her care, including her life.

Over the years, in this cold palace without a trace of temperature, she just got used to it, and there was not much left of her life, so it was slowly consumed. Under the plane tree is her favorite place to stand, when she was a child, in the palace of the water king in the residence of her mother, there is also such a plane tree, the direction she has been looking at is the direction of her hometown water country, only under this tree, her cold heart can still have a trace of temperature. She just waited stupidly, waiting for the moment when she lost her life, waiting for her to return to the embrace of her hometown as soon as possible, waiting for reuniting with her father, queen and mother under Jiuquan, for her, life is just boring.

Yun Zhi walked to this Xiyan Palace, but he didn't want to have a gatekeeper at the gate of this palace, it was like a forgotten and abandoned cold palace, no, there were more people in the cold palace than this. He sighed, he didn't know what kind of life she had lived over the years, and she would become the soulless jade doll she is now. It's not that he didn't want to come to see her, but he has been fighting all along, before destroying the Sky Country, and then suppressing the rebels everywhere, and he didn't really come back until today.

He gently pushed open the door and walked in, only to see under a plane tree in front of him, Yun Xi's empty eyes glanced at him, but quickly returned to her plane tree, for her, everything has nothing to do with her. But even if she was so silent and sluggish, she was obviously just standing under the tree, Xuanzhi felt that she didn't know much more beautiful than those warblers and warblers in the palace, and the lively palace was also a natural irony for him, but this quietness made him feel more comfortable, and he took the initiative to walk to the girl and stand.

"Xi'er, can I accompany you here? Xi'er, are you the only one here? Where's your little palace maid? Xi'er, what are you looking at, can you tell me? ••••••”

The man's whispered words continued, gentle and gentle like a warm current, but the girl would not answer any questions, let alone open any mouth, but continued to look at the plane tree.

Yun Zhi didn't care either, and continued: "Xi'er, do you know? I saw you when you were a child, and I really wanted to protect you, but unfortunately I really didn't have the ability at that time, and I will definitely protect you in the future. •••••• "How much he wants to tell her that he is the prince of Xuan, and he has the same hatred for Yun Guo as her, but he doesn't want her to worry about it, he just hopes that she will never have any more troubles, and he will definitely save her from this golden wire cage, stay away from the ruthless sacrifice, and make mercury beads."

It's just that these words may still be useful when the girl is nine years old, and at this time she doesn't dare to trust anyone easily, but Yunxi doesn't know that Yunzhi is really sincere. She didn't answer him, still looking in the direction of her hometown, as if her relatives were waving to her.

The two of them looked at the other in a daze, and the other was talking, just like that, there was still a slight harmony, compared to the false cheerful and lively hall, the quietness in this small courtyard was enjoyable for Yun Zhi.
