The darkness that could not be seen was illuminated by the firelight, and Gu Zi'an led everyone to grope forward. In front of him was a heavy stone door, and he gently pushed it, and the stone door began to move to the side, and a faint light shone in.

The two volunteered to go up to investigate, and following the bright light, they saw several old and dilapidated palaces on the outside, the walls had begun to peel off, and there were no guards in the garden, only some dead branches and leaves, which looked very dilapidated.

Gu Zi'an walked from the steps to the ground and looked around at the dead silence. The lonely bald branch is still the same as when he was a child, and this place is the cold palace in the depths of memory.

He remembered that many black vipers had sprung up in the garden, moving slowly in front of him and his mother. The red letter hissed and pounced on the two of them. His mother stood in front of him, grabbed a wooden stick and slammed it down, splashing blood all over the ground. He also took the flower pot, and threw the stone violently, smashing the snake to pieces.

Gu Zi'an walked a few steps along the wall of the cold palace, and there were no guards walking outside. It was deserted, and the concubines who were beaten into the cold palace in the past were gone, leaving only an empty courtyard.

"Your Highness, this temple is sealed and nailed with wood. Only one opening was made in the door. One of the guards hurriedly ran over to report.

He looked at it calmly, smiling and sneering. "It's okay, let's just go in. The ice cellar is too cold, so let everyone come up and rest. "At the most, there were thirty concubines living here, so this cold palace courtyard is huge, and it is the exit that the secret passage led to back then. At that time, it was supposed to be able to accommodate a large number of soldiers. Behind the courtyard there was a row of small houses, cobwebs that had filled the windows. Inside, the bookshelves and wooden beds were covered with dust.

Gu Zi'an walked forward and entered the largest room, there seemed to be some kind of dispute inside, there were traces of fingernails scratching on the walls, and it seemed that the heart-rending roar of a woman could be heard, one or two big men saw the messy appearance in the house, and they were in a cold palace with excessive yin qi, and said with some worry: "What's wrong here?" What happened? ”

Gu Zi'an smiled, "It's okay, it's Zhao Hai's trouble." ”

He told everyone what he had heard on the way back to Beiyang. After the death of Gu Zhang, the king of Beiyang, Zhao Chai locked up a pregnant woman who had just entered the palace in the cold palace, and starved to death with wooden planks nailed on all sides. I heard that the woman was quite favored by Gu Zhang before, and her personality was also flamboyant, but there was no power in the family, and before Gu Zhang could promote her father, she had already died in the hands of Queen Zhao Chai. It can be seen how much Zhao Chai hates and resents this concubine, so much so that he came up with such a vicious method.

Everyone was scattered in various rooms to rest, and the rough men also went everywhere, but they could sleep leisurely. The people on duty quietly listened to the movement outside the courtyard.

Hongyue's eyes widened, and he didn't feel sleepy. Gu Zi'an walked to his side and said, "There is no more business for you here, and sure enough, Meng Yining did not choose the wrong person." You can go back the way you came, and help us find out what's going on outside. After all, no one will doubt your current identity. And this is what Hongyue wanted to volunteer just now. He nodded, and trotted away.

Gu Zi'an smiled, although this courtyard carried a lot of frightening memories, but when he stared at it seriously, he felt that everything suddenly became clear. I have experienced a lot of suffering, but I still stand here and stand tall.
