Ivan's confession in front of him uniformly pointed out that the plot was Princess Alina.

It's just that Ivan didn't want to believe that such a quiet woman could do such a thing. But the unified tone made Ivan hesitate.

The confession was so well-founded that Ivan couldn't tell whether it was true or false. The dead said that they were the secret guards trained by the former Principality of Tianlin, and almost no one knew about their existence.

Originally, they had been lurking quietly, but some time ago, they suddenly received a summons from Princess Alina, asking them to find a way to enter the palace of the Silver Moon Empire.

In the following days, under the leadership of the boss, they managed to get some of the palace's standard armor and standard swords, and disguised themselves as palace guards to infiltrate the palace.

After secretly contacting Princess Alina, they learned that Princess Alina wanted them to get rid of Princess Catherine, the Thirteenth.

Because Catherine's talent is so good, if she grows up, then Catherine will be a big obstacle on the road to Princess Alina's revenge.

Instead of regretting it later, it is better to get rid of it now.

This argument is also reasonable, after all, Ivan sent troops to destroy the Tianlin Principality in order to get Alina. Alina's father and mother were all imprisoned in the secret rooms of the former Tianlin Palace.

In order not to make her parents suffer, Alina had to agree to marry Ivan as a last resort. This is also the reason why Alina, as Ivan's concubine, ignores Ivan.

"Well," Ivan said with a sudden sigh, getting up from his seat, "someone is here to get ready to drive, Bendi, to Alina's." ”

After sitting in a daze for several hours, Ivan finally couldn't let go of the mustard in his heart, and planned to go to Alina to ask for clarification in person.

As soon as Ivan walked out of the temple gate, he saw Tina and Catherine rushing over. Tina had received the news not long ago, and she knew that the dead were actually Alina's people, and she immediately wanted to find Alina. But he was persuaded by the people below.

Although Tina did not go directly to Alina to settle the score, she turned to find Ivan, hoping that Ivan could treat Alina with death for Catherine's sake.

Tina trotted all the way to Ivan, "Your Excellency, you must punish Alina severely, she wants to kill your most outstanding daughter." ”

Tina wept and pleaded. Ivan was upset, even more upset by Tina's crying.

Hearing this, he just snorted coldly and said, "This emperor will deal with it." ”

With that, Ivan walked straight away.

Tina was stunned, the bastard was still thinking about that slut.

But after thinking about it, Tina immediately followed.

The group hurried towards Alina's dormitory.

Alina's dormitory was originally rarely visited, and since she knew that Xue Xi was a demon martial artist, even Ivan came a lot less often, of course, these Alina and Xue Xi didn't care.

But today, the peace of Alina's dormitory was suddenly shattered. Alina and Xuexi were eating dinner when the door was violently pushed open.

Alina and Xue Xi both looked indifferently at Ivan and the group of people who came in.

When Ivan and Tina entered the room, the door was closed by the guards again.

Ivan walked to the seat opposite Alina and sat down, looked at Alina quietly for a while, and then sighed and said, "Alina, I know you hate me. But why did you send someone to assassinate Catherine?"

Alina didn't know what Ivan was doing with so many people, but she could see the hatred in Tina's eyes.

Alina was a little confused, she rarely even went out of the palace, and she never talked about other imperial concubines, so naturally she never offended this imperial concubine.

Hearing Ivan say this, Alina also understood, but she also felt a little helpless, she didn't offend others, but someone wanted to harm herself. Who could it be? Forget it, it doesn't matter.

"Your Excellency, you must punish this murderer severely, Catherine still has nightmares a lot. Tina cried as soon as Ivan finished speaking.

Ivan frowned, "Shut up, this emperor has his own measure, how can you talk too much." Alina, won't you say a word?" saw that Alina didn't say anything, just sat quietly. Ivan urged a little anxiously.

"No, I have nothing to say. Alina said lightly.

"You!" Ivan sighed again, "Well, that's the case. Then don't blame Bendi. Someone is coming, and now it is said that Alina will be sent into the cold palace. You will not be allowed to leave the palace for the rest of your life. No one can disagree!"

After speaking, Ivan brushed his sleeves and left. After all, Ivan still couldn't let go of the love for Alina in his heart, and couldn't bear to kill her, so he put Alina under house arrest in another way.

Tina was clearly unhappy with the previous ruling, but Ivan's last sentence, which no one could dispute, was clearly said to her. Although Tina was not convinced, she had no choice but to look at Alina hatefully, stomped her foot and followed Ivan out of Alina's dormitory.

Xue Xi looked at Alina, who seemed so calm from beginning to end, and suddenly said, "Mother, why don't you refute it?" I think if you are willing to refute it, Ivan will definitely choose to believe you. And the maids and guards in the palace can prove that you are innocent. ”

Alina gently touched Xue Xi's head, "There are some things you don't understand now, but you'll understand when you grow up." It's just that it's going to hurt you. ”

Xue Xi shrugged her shoulders and said indifferently, "It's okay, there's no difference between being here and being in the Cold Palace." And there are only two people in the cold palace, my mother and me, and I must be happier than now. ”

When Alina heard her daughter say this, she couldn't help but smile and touched Xue Xi's head again. This action has become Alina's habit. Alina and Xuexi continued to finish their dinner, and then went back to their room to rest, today would be their last night here.

The next morning, the sun slowly rushed out from below the horizon, and the warm light instantly sprinkled all over the earth. Alina and Xuexi got up as always, freshened up, changed clothes, and ate under the service of the maids.

Although Alina and Xuexi were calm, the maids couldn't help crying. Alina and Xuexi can be said to be rare masters who are very good at serving, and they don't have much to do with these maids, and they get along very well, but now they have been inexplicably beaten into the cold palace.

This made the maids who knew Alina's surname feel very indignant and helpless at the same time. After all, this was Ivan's order, and they were just low-status maids.

After breakfast, Alina and Xuexi simply packed their bags and planned to leave here. The maids wept and sent them far away, but in the end, it was because in the cold palace, except for the degraded concubines, no one else was allowed to enter, so those maids stopped.

Alina took Xuexi's hand and was led by a guard. This is the most remote part of the palace. There was not even a ghost in the desert, let alone anyone else.

Although the cold palace is very large, the small courtyard assigned to Alina and Xuexi is not large, only a few hundred square meters.

Compared to the high walls and tiles of other places, it is very simple, with only a kitchen, a living room, a bedroom, a toilet and a yard overgrown with weeds.

Alina and Xue Xi looked at the small courtyard lightly, and then got busy together.

First, clean up the rooms, which have been left uninhabited for a long time, with a thick layer of dust and many cobwebs.

Alina has been pampered since she was a child, and she has never done such a job. It didn't take long for me to get tired. However, seeing that Xue Xi was still waving her arms and was busy, Alina couldn't bear to fall behind.

After cleaning the bedroom, the two cleaned the hall again. Seeing that the time was approaching noon, but the kitchen had not been cleaned up yet, Alina and Xuexi couldn't help but speed up.

In this way, the kitchen was finally cleaned before noon. A simple stove, but there is no firewood. Alina and Xuexi looked at each other, both helpless.

Xue Xi hasn't even finished the aquatic wood now, and she can't make a fire yet. Alina used to be a magician, but now she's just a wreck. What's more, she is just a magician with the surname Water. Even if you are not injured, you can't start a fire.

When Alina and Xue Xi looked at each other helplessly, several guards brought this month's rice grain and firewood these days. The guards just left these things by the door and left.

Alina had never cooked, and Xuexi couldn't do anything, so the kitchen was smoky for a Chinese meal. And the food made by Alina was really bad, and Xue Xi hesitated for a long time before she dared to eat it. Fortunately, the taste is not too bad, and Xuexi will be done.

In the afternoon, Alina and Xuexi cleaned up the small yard together. That's when it feels a little bit of home. The busyness of the day made Alina and Xuexi dirty.

Alina fetched water from the well in the courtyard and boiled some bath water, and the two of them washed up together. It wasn't until the sky was already full of stars that Alina and Xuexi rested.

There is only one bed in the bedroom, and Alina and Xuexi can only squeeze it.

Xue Xi's first day in the cold palace passed like this.

The next day, both Alina and Xuexi got up late. When they were in that place, Alina and Xue Xi couldn't sleep so late, after all, they still had to consider the impact.

Just like Xue Xi said, although the cold palace is lonely, it is very free, and although everything has to be done by yourself, it is very happy.

In her daily life, Alina gradually mastered the skills of cooking, washing clothes and cleaning.

Xue Xi followed behind and pretended to learn little by little, what made Alina feel inferior was that she didn't learn as fast as Xue Xi as a five-year-old child.

So a month later, Alina gave Xue Xi the cooking to do.

After all, Xuexi is a human being in two lives, and she has also learned to cook in her previous life, so the food she cooks is full of color, flavor, and flavor, and Alina is a little surprised by Xuexi's cleverness.

Anyway, Alina and Xue Xi can be regarded as living quietly in this cold palace.

Xue Xi still doesn't see anyone during the day every day, and Alina still has nothing to do every day. In the past, she could still read books, draw pictures, play the piano or something, but now, in this cold palace, there is nothing.

Alina is not like Xue Xi, she can run to cultivate every day, and now the only thing she can do every day besides eating and sleeping is to repair her demon source.

Alina's mentor back then was a special kind of water magician, and the cultivation techniques that Alina learned were very different from other water magicians.

If other magicians have a broken magic source, they will definitely not be able to re-cultivate, but Alina can rely on a special method to repair her own magic source, although it will take a long time, but this is definitely a miracle.

So although Alina has nothing to do every day, she doesn't get bored.

Time passed and the weather began to get cooler. Winter in the Starry Continent is approaching.

I wonder what will happen this winter?

Maybe it's still as calm as usual.

These days. Xue Xi didn't disappear anymore, because the power of water in her body had reached the point of black. This also means that the power of Xuexi's water has reached the point where it is about to break through.

What Xuexi lacks now is not just cultivation, it is a kind of comprehension, a little comprehension that can push the power of water to a higher peak.
