Shi Wuxia glanced at the words on the table, her expression cold, "Those who bully my Shi family deserve to die."

Ye Wantang suddenly felt that she had found someone to rely on, and wrote, "The emperor and empress are heartless and ungrateful, they are accomplices."

She heard that Shi Wuxia had given the Emperor and Empress benefits in exchange for her release.

It's really too good for the Emperor and Empress. Ye Jinghong died in battle for them, yet they don't even care about her past achievements and have tortured her to this extent.

If Shi Wuxia had arrived any later, she might have died in the cold palace.

Looking at the newly grown chilblains on her hands, Ye Wantang gritted her teeth in hatred. As the legitimate daughter of a first-rank general's mansion, her hands were as precious as jade, and now several places were festering and turning black.

Because the tendons in his hands and feet were severed and he did not receive timely medical treatment and care, his condition is now extremely unsightly.

Will my father come to pick me up?

If Shi Yan comes, she will make him avenge her, kill Ye Zhen, kill the Crown Prince, kill the Empress, and kill all those who have bullied her.

Wasn't the Great Wei a powerful nation? She let Shi Yan seize the Great Yuan, and she wanted the people of the Great Yuan to submit to her.

"I don't know what my godfather is thinking."

He had no time to look at her, but said, "If you want your godfather to do anything, you can tell me."

When Ye Wantang met Shi Wuxia in the Cold Palace, Shi Wuxia briefly explained that she was Shi Yan's adopted daughter and the deal she made with the Emperor and Empress.

But that's all I said for now.

Ye Wantang didn't understand her and didn't dare to express her true thoughts. She just shook her head sadly and wrote, "I was born without a father and I miss him very much."

How do you know your godfather is your father?

Ye Wantang lied, "My mother kept a diary, but Ye Zhen stole it."

She didn't actually know whether Ye Zhen had stolen the diary and the family property, but since Ye Zhen already knew about her background, he would definitely try to find Shi Yan.

Ye Wantang didn't want Shi Yan's identity as his daughter to be taken away, so she could only push everything onto Ye Zhen.

She also wrote, "Ye Zhen is jealous and wants to take my identity."

Shi Wuxia's eyes were calm and unwavering. She nodded slightly and said, "I know everything you said. Alright, your hand is injured, so it's not convenient for you to use it too much. Take good care of yourself first, and I will take care of the rest."

Ye Wantang cried.

For the first time, I felt grateful to Shi Wuxia.

Her hands were indeed in a lot of pain; she could only write by pressing her wrists together, and every time she put pen to paper, it was extremely painful.

Hearing that Shi Wuxia said this, he put down his pen and gestured for Tan Ge to go and fetch a doctor.

Health is the most important thing; she needs to get better as soon as possible.

Life in the cold palace was unbearable. Ye Wantang was severely weakened and fell asleep shortly afterward.

Shi Wuxiao had no time to stroll around the general's mansion before returning to the post station.

As night fell, she changed into her night clothes and went out for only a short while before returning.

Huo Zhan sat cross-legged, chanting a calming mantra. Hearing the noise, he opened his eyes slightly and said, "Ye Zhen and Yin Jiu Niang are both quite skilled. I advise you to give up the idea of ​​sneaking into the Marquis's mansion at night."

He noticed it yesterday when the daytime had passed; the Marquis's residence was heavily guarded.

Shi Wuxia pulled down the black cloth covering her face, "Thanks to you."

She did intend to sneak into Ye Zhen's courtyard, but she was almost discovered as soon as she entered the outer courtyard.

They had no choice but to turn back.

The Marquis's residence is so strict; isn't it just that Huo Zhan has alerted the enemy?

When will you visit the Marquis's residence again?

Huo Zhan closed his eyes again. "I'm not going."

He hadn't fully grasped what the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage had said, nor had he figured out the heart of that stone. He didn't want to meet him again, lest he say something even more hurtful.

Shi Wuxia raised an eyebrow. "The person you've been longing for is right in front of you. Can you resist?"

I've heard that Yin Jiuniang returned to Xuanyin Pavilion a while ago, and many people there advised her to marry into the Yin family and have more children. I've even heard that some suitors have come to propose marriage.

Unable to continue chanting the Heart-Cleansing Mantra, Huo Zhan casually tossed a nearby ornament over, saying, "How can a young lady treat her elders so disrespectfully? You used to treat your godfather the same way."

“My godfather would never be as reckless as you, which has made it difficult for me to even enter the Marquis’s mansion now.”

Shi Wuxiao caught what he threw at her, placed it on the table, and felt quite depressed.

Her adoptive father refused to marry for many years; she was adopted by her great-grandmother and brought to live with him.

Everyone in the family was curious about why their adoptive father didn't get married, but no one knew the reason.

She learned by chance from her great-grandmother that her godfather was destined to face a love tribulation.

She was ordered to go to Dongwu to help Huo Zhan pacify Dongwu, but suddenly received a letter from her adoptive father asking her to come to Dayuan.

Only then did she realize that the tribulation in her godfather's life was Ye Jinghong. As soon as Ye Wantang mentioned the diary, she wanted to sneak into Ye Zhen's room and borrow the diary to find out what was going on with her godfather's love affair.

I thought it would be easy, but to my surprise, I couldn't even get into the other person's yard.

Unbeknownst to her, after she left, a shadowy figure, like a ghost, moved into Ye Zhen's room.

Ye Zhen seemed to sense something, but before he could open his eyes, he fell into a deep sleep.

The visitor stood before the bed, gazing at Ye Zhen with a calm expression on his chiseled face.

This calm lasted only a moment before a dark undercurrent surged in his deep phoenix eyes.

Unable to resist, she slowly bent down, her slender, fair fingers gently brushing the stray hairs that had fallen across Ye Zhen's face onto the pillow.

The movements were exceptionally careful, as if afraid of waking the person from a dream, or as if the person lying on the bed was a treasure of the world.

Seeing that her face was smaller than his own palm, the person frowned slightly, and then, glancing at her size, his frown deepened.

But as she looked at it, she unconsciously raised her lips slightly.

I don't know how long I stood there before I started to look around the room. Finally, my gaze fell on a hidden compartment at the foot of the bed. I pried it open and saw a blue brick.

The inscription on the blue brick reads, "Shi Yan Ye Jing Hong".
