Chapter 251: Going to the Cold Palace



But she was just a maid and had only followed Qiao Yege for a few days.

She didn't think she could help Qiao Yuge make any decision right now.

Besides, let’s talk about that maid. Even if she had some ideas in her heart, who would listen to her?

Everyone in the harem was older than her. Even though she was Qiao Yege's maid, Qiao Yege was not the queen yet, so she couldn't use Qiao Yege's fame to bully others.

So she nodded and then stepped back.

That night, Qiao Yuge stayed in Qinyan Palace. She had planned to go find Xiao Yun by herself, but it was always Xiao Yun who came to find her.

The two stayed in Qinyan Palace for a while and then returned to Taixing Palace.

Walking this journey together is also a journey of ten feet of beautiful scenery.

Qiao Yege waited for a long time, but Xiao Yun still did not show up.

This made Qiao Yege suddenly a little nervous.

Xiao Yun would not ignore her.

Besides, the harem is so small, even if Xiao Yun wanted to, where could he go?

Qiao Yege sat there for a long time, but Xiao Yun still didn't come.

She was about to get up and go to Taixing Palace to find out what was going on when Chun Xing ran in from outside in a hurry. She knelt on the ground and said to Qiao Yuge, "Miss Qiao, I heard from the maid in the front yard that the emperor went to the cold palace to look for Concubine An last night, and even spent the night with Eunuch Li. I heard that His Highness is planning to release Concubine An from the cold palace. Why don't you go and see what the emperor is thinking and why he made such a decision?"

At this moment, Qiao Yege's heart sank, and then he frowned.

Qiao Yege didn't even realize that he pressed his hand hard at that time, as if to calm himself down.

But how could she not concentrate?

The expression on her face was extremely bad, and she didn't even know what was going on.

She just felt that her mind was confused. She wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, all the words came to her lips, but she finally swallowed them down.

She was a little angry, but she felt like she was really angry. What was she angry about?

And why did Xiao Yun have to make such a decision?

The impact of Chun Xing's words was so great that Qiao Yuge pursed her lips and it took her a long time to calm down.

According to Qiao Yege's personality, if Xiao Yun really released Concubine An from the cold palace, it must be that something went wrong in the previous dynasty, or the An family counterattacked.

Or was he using Concubine An as a threat?

Otherwise, according to Xiao Yun's attitude, he would never let Concubine An go.

Xiao Yun has always been a very open and honest person, and he has never had the intention of playing tricks. It is impossible for him to show that he hates Concubine An in front of Qiao Yuge, but in fact, he has feelings for Concubine An in private.

He didn't have to do that.

So what is the purpose of him doing this?

Although Qiao Yege couldn't help but want to run away, he chose to leave and stay far away.

But she thought that after what happened last time, she should trust Xiao Yun, or at least listen to his reasons before making a decision.

Otherwise, not only would Xiao Yun's heart be hurt, but also the feelings of both of them.

So Qiao Yege stood up and said to Chun Xing, "Let's go over and take a look."

After Chun Xing went out of the door, she saw a maid waiting there.

This maid looked unfamiliar and it was obvious that she was not from Qiao Yuge's courtyard.

However, Qiao Yuge didn't know many of the maids in the harem. The few she knew followed her around all day, and she had long been accustomed to them.

When the maid Ru'e saw them coming out, she hurriedly stood in front and led them to the cold palace in a hurry.

The cold palace is ten feet away from the harem.

They held a lamp and walked slowly across the room.

We passed through many dark courtyards. After all, there were very few people in the entire harem, and many courtyards were uninhabited. This huge harem now looked a bit desolate, which made people a little scared.

But Qiao Yege has gotten used to it.

A man of integrity has nothing to fear. Even now, facing so many dark courtyards, Qiao Yege did not react at all.

Chun Xing, on the other hand, was a little cautious. She grabbed Qiao Yege's clothes and found him a little funny.

Qiao Yege reached out and patted her, saying to her, "How dare you be so timid? What's so scary about this? Look at yourself."

Chun Xing took a breath and said to Qiao Yege, "Isn't this scary? Girl, you are so brave. Although many women in the past thought that even if they were banished to the cold palace, they would still have food, drink, clothes and shelter, and their lives would not be bad. If you think about it again, this is probably the most frustrating thing, right?"

"It was so scary around her. There was no light at all. She felt like she was the only one in the world. No one came to see her. She seemed to have been forgotten. It was also very lonely. That's probably how it felt."

Qiao Yege's eyes flickered and he looked around.

But there was too little light around, there was no moonlight at night, and the sky was filled with layers of dark clouds, making it hard to breathe.

Qiao Yuge looked at the little girl and said to her, "So, you are a little bit sentimental towards Concubine An? Do you think it's a bit pitiful that she was banished to the cold palace?"

Chun Xing then realized that she seemed to have said something wrong, so she immediately shook her head and said to Qiao Yege, "I don't feel sorry for her. I even think she deserves it. But if she was sent to the cold palace just because she didn't get the emperor's favor, that kind of person would still make people feel a little pitiful."

Qiao Yege didn't continue talking.

It was too dark, and Qiao Yege did not see the maid in front of him clench her hands tightly, and a glimmer of hope and a cold light flashed in her eyes!

The maid in front was also very timid and looked carefully at the surrounding buildings.

She seemed to be identifying it carefully.

This cold palace is at the deepest part of the harem.

In front of them was a huge yard. When they entered the yard, they saw a row of houses in front of them. In the middle of the houses was a corridor, and behind the corridor was another row of houses.

There are three rows in total.

The walls here are very high, about two meters high.

There were all kinds of sharp knife tips stuck on the top of the wall, as if they were afraid that the people in the cold palace would jump over the wall and escape.

This cold palace is a place of torment for women. It is designed to make women suffer here, not to let them enjoy happiness here.
