The spring day was slightly chilly, and a drop of lake water slowly flowed down his forehead. He couldn't help but shiver from the cold.
Shangguan Qingyue opened his big innocent eyes, with a hint of regret in them.
[Well, my uncle can swim, so this method won't work. What a pity.]
She comforted Shao Yihui and said, "Uncle, don't worry. Yue'er will think of another way for you."
Shao Yihui: ...
Shao Yihui handed Shangguan Qingyue back to Wu Yonggui as if he had thrown away a hot potato, and asked him to take her to change clothes. He then returned to the side hall of Kunning Palace to change clothes.
Behind him, Shangguan Qingyue was reluctant to leave, "Uncle, come and play with Yue'er when you have time!"
Shao Yihui's pace quickened.
However, as if it weren't raining, the ship was late and encountered headwinds.
After taking a few steps, he met Shangguan Qiyou who was strolling with Nanny Li.
Shao Yihui learned his lesson and selfishly didn't want to confront these five kids. When he saw Shangguan Qiyou, he subconsciously wanted to take a detour.
There really was a small path, and Shao Yihui went in without thinking.
Across from him, Shangguan Qiyou saw him and raised his hand to stop him as he entered. "Fake uncle, don't go in. That's..."
However, Shao Yihui had disappeared.
Shangguan Qiyou looked up at Madam Li and asked, "Madam Li, why did my fake uncle go to the cold palace?"
Nanny Li looked bewildered. Why did the young master call Mr. Shao his fake uncle, and why did Mr. Shao go to the cold palace?
"I don't know..."
Shangguan Qiyou suddenly remembered something and hid behind Li Mama in fear. "Mama, mother said there's a monster in the cold palace. Should we go find someone to save our fake uncle?"
Nanny Li couldn't help but doze off, thinking that if the young lady said the five words "save the fake uncle", she would definitely cry...
Back to the point, if she was asked to find someone to rescue the people, she could only report to the princess.
Nanny Li picked up Shangguan Qiyou and said, "Then my dear, come with me to find the princess!"
"Okay! Hurry up! Don't let the fake uncle get eaten by the monster!"
Upon hearing this, Nanny Li curled the corners of her mouth inexplicably.
After eating... it's not that bad...
Just... forget it, she should just go find the princess!
On the other side, Shao Yihui realized something was wrong as he was walking.
There was no one around, it was damp and dark, with dead branches and leaves and even feces on the ground. In front was a dilapidated courtyard with peeling paint on the brick-red door. It was obvious that no one came here, no one cleaned up, and no one was on duty.
Cold Palace?
Since it is the cold palace, it is where his grandfather, the emperor's concubine, is imprisoned. There is nothing to be afraid of.
If I go back now, I will lose face.
Shao Yihui continued walking forward. Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed before his eyes. It came and went so quickly that he suspected he had misjudged it. Why did he suspect he had misjudged it, not be certain? Because the next second, it pounced on his face.
"Ahhh@#￥%%￥##@..."
The monster screamed and attacked frantically.
Shao Yihui stretched out his hand to block, but he was no match for the opponent's hand speed. He was scratched several times and was caught off guard.
After he calmed down, he grabbed the thing, which was still furry... Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, the thing slipped out of his hand with a deft pull. At the same time, the pressure on his face disappeared. Shao Yihui looked carefully and it was gone.
What the hell?
Shao Yihui looked at the bloodstains on his body, didn't dare to go any further, and turned around to walk back.
As soon as he walked out of the alley, he ran into Zhao Ying, Shangguan Shu, and Shangguan Qiyou.
Shao Yihui: ...
Zhao Ying looked at him with a complicated expression. She blinked, feeling a little guilty. After a while, she said to Nanny Li, "Go call the imperial physician."
Kunning Palace.
Queen Hyomin hasn't returned yet.
The imperial physician applied medicine to Shao Yihui, but remained silent and knew nothing about anything.
Shangguan Qingyue had changed into clean clothes and was also sent over. The family of four watched Shao Yihui apply medicine.
Halfway up, Zhao Ying said, "I blame you for not telling you that you can't go to the cold palace..."
Shangguan Qingyue nodded in agreement, "Yes, there is a monster in the cold palace!"
Shangguan Qiyou said, "Uncle, you left so quickly that I didn't have time to tell you."
Shao Yihui finally couldn't help it. There was a monster in the palace, and no one was doing anything about it? Isn't that absurd?
He asked, "What kind of monster is this? If it's a monster, why didn't you find a way to get rid of it sooner?"
What he didn't say was that with such a thing, people in the palace could really live there!
Shangguan Shu also had an impression of this monster. It was a childhood trauma, but as time went by, he forgot about it. Now, when he saw it, he realized it really existed!
He looked at Zhao Ying, also full of doubts.
Zhao Ying said seriously, "I don't know either. Don't ask me. Just remember not to go there again."
Zhao Ying was obviously unwilling to say it, and Shao Yihui didn't force her, but Shangguan Shu smelled an unusual smell and planned to go back and ask his father.
Zhao Ying and the others left after seeing that the medicine had been taken. After they left, Shao Yihui asked a few palace maids if they knew what kind of monster was imprisoned in the cold palace. However, the palace maids shook their heads and said they didn't know, only that no one in the palace cared and no one asked.
The monster has been happening for many years, and some old people in the palace should know about it, but the Kunning Palace is newly built and there are no old people in the palace anymore.
Shao Yihui then waited in doubt until Empress Xiaomin returned. Empress Xiaomin discussed with Emperor Jianxi in the Yangxin Palace that since he had returned, he should change his name and surname and be included in the royal jade book, and also go through some red tape such as the title of nobility, the granting of a mansion, etc.
Queen Hyomin also said that she would cook dinner for him herself to welcome him.
After he finished speaking, Queen Hyomin noticed the scratches on his face. She angrily asked, "Who bullied you?"
