Cold Palace
The Cold Palace, which had been uninhabited for years, was filled with chilling winds. Yunxin stood before the dilapidated gate, still in shock from just having received the news.
Her mind echoed with those words: She has returned! She has returned!
She never expected to encounter the Emperor! With his intelligence, he must have already known about the ** from back then. And what about her? Had she fallen into an irreversible predicament?
Yunxin tried hard to recall the expression on the Emperor's face when he delivered this news, hoping to glean some insight, but she found nothing! The thoughts of this ruler were difficult to decipher. You could never know what he was truly thinking. With this thought, her fear grew even more uncontrollable...
Hesitating, she slowly walked into the courtyard. The Cold Palace exuded a decaying odor; many Consorts who had been sent here had committed suicide, their fates unknown, while those in the palace allowed the bodies to rot.
Yunxin walked straight into the room. Upon entering, she saw that familiar face. At that moment, the person lay quietly on the bed, eyes closed, as if dead.
She widened her eyes in terror, unable to believe what she was seeing. Hesitantly extending her trembling hand, she slowly approached the bed and checked for a breath from the person lying there. She let out a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she was just asleep...
But soon after, her heart sank again!
A low sobbing sound reached her ears, growing clearer and clearer. It was so noisy! Gu Yuniang frowned and impatiently opened her eyes. As her vision gradually cleared, it finally focused on the tear-streaked face before her. She looked at this person as if in a dream...
"Miss... Miss, you finally woke up! That's great!" Yunxin exclaimed, holding her hand excitedly, tears of joy streaming down her face. She was almost jumping with happiness.
"Aqiao? Is it really you?" Gu Yuniang looked at her in disbelief, a wave of immense joy flooding through her.
Yunxin was momentarily stunned but nodded.
Before she could fully process what was happening, Gu Yuniang suddenly wrapped her arms around her tightly. All the grievances she had endured during these days and the strength she had pretended to show crumbled upon seeing her best friend. She began to cry loudly, mourning her father's disappearance, the fall of their country, Yun Shuyan's uncertain fate, and her own suffering. Scenes from the past flashed vividly in her mind.
Yunxin gently patted her shoulder, saying, "Miss, don't be afraid. From now on, I will always be by your side!" Growing up together, seeing her like this made Yunxin's heart ache as well.
Gu Yuniang slowly stopped crying. She released Aqiao from her embrace and said apologetically, "Aqiao, do you know? I always thought you were dead! At that time, the world was in chaos, and you were just a girl. I thought something terrible must have happened to you! Every time I thought of you, I felt so guilty! Now that I see you are alive and well, it's truly wonderful!"
Hearing this made Yunxin feel even more ashamed; her eyes reddened and tears fell down her cheeks. "Miss... I..."
Gu Yuniang suddenly remembered something; she had been sent here by that mysterious person. But Aqiao...
"Aqiao, how did you end up here? Where is this place?"
Yunxin took a deep breath, her pale face showing no emotion. After a long pause, she slowly replied, "This used to be the Cold Palace of the Great Zhou; now it belongs to Dayue! Also... my name is now Yunxin!"
