"Empress." At this moment, a soft call came from behind Qiao Qiao to bring her back from her thoughts. She turned around and saw that it was the young palace maid that had served her in the palace this morning.

"What's your name?" Qiao still had a smile on his lips. Somehow, every time he saw this little girl, he would unexpectedly think of Yingyue.

"Your servant's name is Die'er." "Your servant was sent by the Emperor to serve the Empress specially."

"Hmm, do you know that there is a girl called Ying Yue in this palace?" Qiao Qiao couldn't help but ask. In this trip, she had neglected Ying Yue, but Ying Yue had become an idiot. Yan Mo would definitely not do anything to her.

Die'er frowned as if she were deep in thought. However, after thinking for a long time, she still didn't know who the bright moon was.

"This servant doesn't know." Die'er shook her head.

"She's a bit crazy and silly, from time to time she rambles a little." Qiao Qiao described with a serious face.

"Oh ~!" Die'er was suddenly enlightened. "Empress, you're talking about a foolish aunt, right?"

"Silly aunt?!" Qiao Qiao was still stunned. He didn't expect that no one in the palace knew his first aunt, Ying Yue. The one who called her 'foolish nun' was actually a foolish nun.

"That's right, the lunatic that the Empress spoke of may be the only person in this palace who is a foolish nun." Die'er nodded. "Empress knows foolish aunt?"

"Where is she?" Qiao Qiao's brows were still knit together. In the end, she had already promised Xiyue that she wouldn't be able to take good care of Yingyue.

"The foolish aunt is in the cold palace. For some reason, the emperor is exceptionally angry every time he sees the foolish aunt, but no one is allowed to kick her out of the palace. So, he ordered someone to throw her into the cold palace and destroy herself." Die'er answered truthfully.

"Alright, let's go take a look." Qiao Qiao still had a face full of nervousness as he raised his foot and walked towards the direction of the Cold Palace.

On the way, Joe walked quickly, and saw that the palace opposite the glazed green tiles and gorgeous palaces was the cold palace of the past.

There were no guards at the entrance, but a heavy iron chain was placed across the beam. Qiao Qiao's eyes were still cold. He never thought that the once competitive Yingyue would be locked up in a place like this.

Without thinking, Qiao Qiao still untied the rope on the door and rushed into the cold palace.

"Empress!" Die'er called out worriedly. This palace was a forbidden area of the imperial palace that the emperor forbade anyone from visiting. If the empress barged in like this, she would be blamed by the emperor.

Qiao Qiao still looked inside. The scene within the cold palace was in stark contrast to the golden splendor of the palace. Here, white muslin coiled around, making the place exceptionally quiet.

"Wuwuwu ~" Suddenly, the sound of someone crying came from within the Cold Palace. Die'er couldn't help but shiver in fear. She held onto Qiao yet another arm and said softly:

"Niangniang, let's go back. Dia'er usually hears a lot of mama say that this place is haunted."

Qiao Qiao still had a smile in her eyes. She had always avoided speaking of ghosts and gods. She didn't believe it.

"Wuwuwu ~"

As Joe continued to approach, the crying grew louder.

"Empress, let's go back. This servant heard that there was a very favoured aunt of the First Order who died in the cold palace. I heard that her entire body was skinned alive and died miserably. Many people said that aunt had come back to claim her life …" Die'er's face was pale, her legs trembling as she listened to this indistinct cry. She didn't even notice that Qiao's face was becoming colder and colder as she spoke.

That's right, Die'er wasn't wrong. Back then, she had also thought that Xiyue had died tragically here.

"Empress …" Die'er saw that Qiao Qiao still had not stopped moving, she could only shakily follow him.

Joe slowly pushed open the door to the palace.

"It wasn't me, it wasn't me, it really wasn't me …" A white shadow passed by Qiao Qiao while muttering to himself.

Ah!" Die'er cried out in alarm.

"Yingyue?!" Qiao Qiao continued to stare at the flashing white figure as he called out.

"Empress, let's go. This place is too terrifying!" Die'er's eyes were tightly shut and her face was deathly pale. She tightly grabbed Qiao Qiao's hand as she pleaded.

"You can leave." Qiao Qiao still turned her head. Seeing that Die'er was indeed extremely scared, she slowly said.

"How can that be? How can this servant let the Empress stay in this terrifying place by herself." Hearing Qiao Qiao's words, Die'er actually opened her eyes and spoke to Qiao Qiao with righteous indignation.

Qiao Qiao still gave a faint smile. She was indeed a girl who was loyal to her friends.

"Elder sister …" Elder sister … Did you come back to see me? "It wasn't me, I didn't mean to …" It was another white shadow that flashed by, and the crazy words that came out of his mouth never stopped for a moment.

With this sentence, Qiao Qiao was still certain that this crazy girl was Ying Yue.

"Yingyue, is that me, Yingyue?" Joe was still calling out slowly, afraid of scaring her.

"It's you?" Who are you? Who are you? Did you come back to claim your life? You want to kill me? " Yingyue's slightly trembling voice sounded from the side.

Joe continued to follow the source of the voice.

"Yingyue, where are you? "Come out, look at who I am." Qiao Qiao still called out slowly.

"You … Who are you! You're here to catch me. No, no. " Yingyue quickly got up from the water bucket and rushed to the other side of the inner hall.

"Yingyue!" cried Joe, still looking after her.

"Don't catch me, don't catch me. I know I was wrong, don't catch me." Yingyue shouted as she ran.

Qiao Qiao saw Yingyue lose control and immediately chased after her.

"Empress!" Die'er stood on the spot, looking at Qiao who was still running away, she shouted with a trembling voice.

Currently, she was the only person in the outer hall of the Cold Palace. She could neither enter nor leave as she stood there trembling on the spot, not even daring to raise her feet.

"Empress?" she whispered.

Ah!" Suddenly, a pale and large face appeared right in front of her. Die'er let out a miserable cry before fainting on the ground.

"Hehe …" Yingyue looked at Die'er who was lying on the ground and giggled.

"Yingyue!" Qiao Qiao was already standing behind her with a helpless look on his face as he grabbed her sleeve and shouted.

Ah!" Yingyue shouted loudly and turned her head back. When she saw Qiao Qiao's face, she suddenly kneeled on the ground in panic, "Your servant greets Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Your servant. Your servant knows that I was wrong. Her voice was trembling. She kept her head down and didn't dare to raise it.

Qiao Qiao still helplessly sighed. It seemed that Yingyue's shock was indeed not small and she indeed hated Yingyue in the past, but now that she looked at her, she was really pitiful. This kind of fate was enough to make up for all that had happened in the past.

"Get up." Joe still went forward and helped Yingyue up.

"Wuwu wuu ~" Yingyue suddenly started to cry again. Her face had a smile that was not a smile, and her voice sounded as if she was crying but not crying. Her expression was extremely terrifying.

"Did you suffer any grievances?" Joe still looked at her, and his heart tightened.

"Wuwuwu. Your majesty, Your Majesty, you have to save this servant." Yingyue wailed. Her actions were crazy and her expression was normal. Sometimes, even Qiao Qiao did not know if this Yingyue was truly crazy or just playing the fool.

"What happened?" Joe asked, still frowning.

"Shh ~ She's here again, she's here again. Run, I want to run …" Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Ying Yue looking around with a frightened face. She suddenly shouted and started running away from the inner hall.

"Yingyue!" Qiao Qiao stared helplessly at the departing figure of Yingyue and sighed deeply.

"It's you!" A light and arrogant voice sounded from behind Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Qiao was still shocked. He turned around and saw a person dressed in white. Her face was pretty and her hair was messy without any decorations. However, it could not hide the anger and worry in her eyes.

"Who are you?" Qiao Qiao raised his eyebrows slightly. In this cold palace, other than Yingyue, there was another woman?

"I am Jiang Lanxin." The woman in white snorted angrily.

Jiang Lanxin! Qiao Qiao was still shocked. She suddenly remembered that Yan Mo Chen had told her that the real Jiang Lanxin was in the Cold Palace. It seemed like he was right.

"I didn't expect that the Emperor would not hesitate to destroy me in order to fabricate a new identity for the late emperor." Jiang Lanxin suddenly smiled at the sky. Her eyes were blood-red, and her tone was filled with indignation.

"You actually know my identity!" Joe was still surprised.

"Of course, when you were the Emperor of Qiao and the Demon Palace attacked the Imperial Palace with their men, I was there with my father. I naturally recognized you, but unfortunately, you may not have glanced at me." Jiang Lanxin secretly frowned and gave a self-deprecating smile, "In the past you were so high and mighty, but now what?" Compared to a prisoner like me, it's probably not much better. "

Qiao still frowned and silently waited for Jiang Lanxin to continue speaking.

"Hur hur." Jiang Lanxin sneered coldly, and then said, "If the Emperor really had feelings for you, I'm afraid he wouldn't have robbed you of everything. He probably left you by his side just to humiliate you, hahahaha." Thinking of this, she also felt satisfied and burst out laughing.

"I did not intend to rob you of your identity. If I could, I would have immediately left the palace and never returned." Joe's voice was still deep and shining.

"Hehe, well said, you didn't mean it." Jiang Lanxin lowered her eyebrows and sneered, "You think you can let me live in this cold palace for the rest of my life just because you said it wasn't your intention? You want to spend a lifetime with this crazy fool? I am the distinguished daughter of the library, why would I sacrifice my life's happiness for a dead emperor like you! "

Qiao Qiao's lips were still parted, but she didn't know what to say to comfort the pitiful woman in front of her. She could understand her, if she were in her place, she would also not be bullied by others and help them, but on this matter, she was indeed powerless …
