First of all, the timing doesn't match.

Another thing is that Zhao Ji could clearly see that the woman was very young.

She is the kind of young and immature woman. How could such a woman be favored by the emperor fifteen years ago?

A bold idea suddenly came to Zhao Ji's mind.

"Were you born in the cold palace?"

As soon as Zhao Ji said this, the naive girl showed an uneasy look on her face.

"This is a secret. I can't tell you."

The woman's voice was like a silver bell. Perhaps no one had ever taught her about the intrigues in the palace, so she had no idea that this sentence was no different from confessing one's guilt.

Zhao Ji figured out the doubts in his heart and couldn't help but sigh: "Are you living here alone now?"

The woman's clear eyes, like those of a deer, seemed to be remembering something she didn't want to recall, and revealed a hint of sadness.

"After Am passed away, I was really alone, but it was good to be alone. There was food left by Am here, and the aunts from outside would come to visit me sometimes!"

"I used to keep a cat here, but then the cat ran away, and I haven't kept anything since!"

Maybe it was the first time the little girl saw someone outside the cold palace, so she was a little wary at first, but now she has let down her guard a little.

"I want to go out and play, but the aunts all say I can't go out. If I go out, I might die like Am!"

The little girl looked at Zhao Ji very sadly: "The aunts all said that it's dangerous outside, but I think you must have come in from outside. If you can come in from outside, it means there is no danger outside, so why can't I go out?"

The question in the little girl's eyes was too sincere, and Zhao Ji suddenly understood for a moment. Why didn't the concubines in the harem and the cold palace tell the truth to this little girl?

Looking at such a pair of eyes as clear as a deer's, who would like to see them filled with tears?

No one would have the heart to burst the fantasies and hopes of a girl who was destined to have no freedom from birth.

At such a prime time, she is trapped in the harem. It is never the woman's fault.

Zhao Ji was silent for a long time and said: "Are you willing to go out with me? If you are willing to go out with me to see the outside world, I can take you away and let you go out without getting hurt, but there is only one thing..."

The little girl's eyes became brighter and brighter with every word Zhao Ji said, until she heard this, but.

"But there's just one thing... If you choose to go out with me, you'll have to say goodbye to your aunts. It's very likely that you'll never see them again in your life!"

Hearing this, the light in the little girl's eyes suddenly went out.

"Why can't we take the aunts with us?"

She has an extremely beautiful face, but she uses her most innocent and clear eyes to ask the most unanswerable questions.

Zhao Ji pondered for a moment and said, "Because they want to stay here. Only if they stay here will their families be better off!"

Although the little girl still didn't understand, she was not as confused as before.

"Can I think about it for two days? When Am died, she told me that I might never be able to go out, but if I had the chance to go out one day, Am hoped that I could use my eyes to help her see the scenery that she hadn't seen..."

Zhao Ji nodded, stood up, and said to the woman, "Do you have a name?"

The woman thought for a moment and shook her head: "My aunts all have names, but I don't. My mother didn't give me one either. She said that without a name there is no hope, and without hope here is the safest place!"

Zhao Ji looked at the woman in front of him and couldn't help but recall the records he saw in the file.

Fifteen years ago, Princess Lingxi from Southern Xinjiang, who was presented to the emperor by the Southern Xinjiang government, was banished to the cold palace for practicing witchcraft in the harem.

The emperor was afraid of the mysterious witchcraft in Southern Xinjiang and did not dare to execute Princess Lingxi of Southern Xinjiang. He only ordered her to be detained in the cold palace and not allowed to take a step out for the rest of her life.

It was because of this incident that the conflict between the Celestial Empire and Southern Xinjiang occurred. The relationship has been bad over the years. There are constant frictions on weekdays.

It is said that Princess Lingxi of Southern Xinjiang was the saint of Southern Xinjiang. Southern Xinjiang originally sent the saint to marry the emperor in the hope of maintaining permanent friendship with the Celestial Empire.

Unexpectedly, in the harem struggle, the emperor finally believed others.

At that time, Princess Lingxi of Southern Xinjiang did not explain, but obediently entered the cold palace of the harem.

No news from then on.

Now it seems that she probably never left the cold palace until her death.

The woman in front of him should be Lingxi's daughter.

I guess she looks like her mother. You should know that Lingxi was the most outstanding and beautiful woman in the whole southern Xinjiang at that time.

Because of Lingxi's beauty, the emperor once made her a noble concubine.

At that time, we were really pampered and blessed.

Unfortunately, in this harem, using your beauty to serve others is not a long-term solution.

How could a saint from the mountains of southern Xinjiang know how dirty the methods of the women in the harem are?

In fact, Zhao Ji didn't even need to think about who was right or wrong at that time. He just needed to look at the description in the file and the description of the evidence in the file.

Zhao Ji knew very well that this saintly lady from Miao was at a disadvantage.

No one would hide a witchcraft doll under their pillow so openly.

You should know that the imperial concubine's pillows and quilts are tidied and cleaned every day.

Everything, everything, is just a dirty trick of the harem.

Zhao Ji guessed that the reason why the Saint of Southern Xinjiang who was banished to the cold palace at that time did not make a big fuss or did not argue was because of this.

You should also feel the other life inside your body.

Compared to continuing to fight in the harem, at least the cold palace is very quiet, and naturally there are fewer dirty tricks to harm people.

In this way, Lingxi gave birth to her daughter here. It can be seen that the environment in the cold palace is indeed much simpler.

I guess Lingxi's daughter should be a little comfort to the women waiting to die in this cold palace.

So these women tried their best to be nice to the girl. Because of this, when the girl grew up, she was so naturally happy when getting along with these aunts.

But Zhao Ji was a little surprised that Lingxi didn't give his daughter a name.

"Has your mother never given you a name?" Zhao Ji asked again without giving up.

The beautiful woman frowned slightly and shook her head: "Amu said that names are not necessary, so don't worry about it. The aunts all call me girl, and I'm used to it. Do I have to have a name in the outside world?"

Zhao Ji was somewhat envious of this girl's simple world.
