That night, Qiao Qiao was still lying on his bed in the palace, his body still red and swollen, as he blabbered nonstop.

"Yan Mo Chen …"

She gently called out, causing Yan Mo Chen's frozen heart to melt a little.

"You bastard! You stole my mountains and rivers, killed my loyal subjects, and humiliated me! I can't wait to tear you into eight pieces!"

However, the following words made Yan Mo Chen's eyes turn even colder.

So it turned out that she hated him so much in her heart …

"But …" "But..." Qiao Qiao continued to sob softly. Her beautiful face was filled with grievance. "But I …"

Yan Mo Chen pricked up his ears and listened attentively to the chattering coming from the little girl on the bed. He was very curious in his heart, but what about her?

"I... "But to you …" Qiao Qiao's voice gradually faded and he couldn't help but turn around. After he smashed his lips together, there was no sound.

Yan Mo Chen's curious eyes could not help but darken. This little girl really knew how to keep people in suspense, she actually stopped midway.

"But what about me?" Yan Mo Chen could not help but lean down and whispered into Qiao Qiao's ear.

After saying so, he unconsciously looked down on himself in his heart. What was wrong with him? Didn't he already think about how he would treat this heartless woman coldly in the future when he saw her? Now, why did he have to wait for the answer like a child in the ears of a patient who was full of nonsense!

The warmth on Yan Mo Chen's face instantly disappeared and he frowned. It was definitely late in the night and he did not rest well because he did not have any good intentions towards this woman.

"Your majesty." A guard entered the palace from the outer palace.

"What is it?" He lowered his voice, afraid that he would disturb the sleeping woman on the bed.

"The cold palace maid, Die'er, requests an audience." The guard reported.

"In reply to her, tell her that this lady will not return to the cold palace tonight and ask her to come pick her up before noon tomorrow." Yan Mo Chen said coldly.

"Yes." The guard accepted the order and turned around to leave.

It seemed that she had already thought of her plan for tonight. Otherwise, her palace maids would not have come to pick her up at this hour.

Yan Mo Chen's eyes were locked onto Qiao Qiao's body with his brows tightly knitted together and his eyes shut …

"What are you suffering from? Even sleep is so restless. " Yan Mo Chen muttered softly. He could not help but reach out his hand to smooth the frown on Qiao's face.

"You have taken over my bed, how do you want me to rest?" Although Yan Mo Chen's mouth was full of complaints, there was a hint of happiness in his tone. He turned around and walked towards the palace.

Fortunately, there was a soft couch in the outer hall. Although it was a bit chilly, it was still okay to take care of it for one night.

After closing his eyes for only three to four hours, he heard a hustle and bustle at the entrance of the palace that disturbed Yan Mo Chen's sweet dreams.

"Who's making a ruckus outside?" Yan Mo Chen asked impatiently. When he accidentally turned his head and saw that the woman on the bed in the inner hall was still sleeping, he calmed down.

"To reply your majesty, it's esteemed imperial concubine Lan." Eunuch Zhao stood at the door and reported.

"What is it?" Yan Mo Chen could not help but frown.

"Esteemed Empress Lan said that Esteemed Empress Dowager Rou took care of the imperial court yesterday morning. It should have been her turn today." Eunuch Zhao replied with a head full of sweat.

Yan Mo Chen's face darkened, but he did not speak.

The doors of the palace slowly opened a crack. Jiang Lanxin twisted her slender waist and walked towards Yan Mo Chen with a smile on her face.

"Your majesty, why are you sleeping on a soft bed?" When Jiang Lanxin saw that the emperor had fallen asleep on the outer palace's soft ground, her smile instantly stiffened as she spoke with a face full of worry.

"It was a bit late for last night's review, so I slept here." If not for the fact that there was still that woman in the inner hall, Yan Mo Chen really couldn't be bothered to explain so much to this woman who didn't seem the same on the surface!

"Then your majesty must pay attention to your body." Lan Fei said with a worried expression. She then walked forward and took the dragon robe. She was about to throw it in front of Yan Mo Chen.

"No need, you can go now." Yan Mo Chen waved his hand and rejected indifferently.

"Your majesty, you can't be this unfair. Big Sister Rou came yesterday, it should be Chenqie's turn today …" Jiang Lanxin had a face of a spoiled child as she spoke and her tone couldn't help dragging a long tone.

"Shh!" Yan Mo Chen's face was cold as he stopped Su Yun with a stern voice.

Jiang Lan's heart skipped a beat. Seeing how cautious the emperor was, could it be that there were other people in this palace besides the two of them?

As she thought about this, she began to scan her surroundings.

"If you insist on making a ruckus here, don't blame me for not showing mercy and letting the Embroidered Uniform Guard enter the hall to drag you out!" For some reason, Jiang Lanxin's stubbornness did not anger him. On the other hand, the fact that she did not know how to restrain herself and was yelling made him feel deeply annoyed, afraid that he would disturb the woman in the inner hall.

"Your Majesty …" Jiang Lanxin looked at Yan Mo Chen with an aggrieved expression on her face. When she saw that there was not a single trace of emotion in the emperor's eyes, she let out a breath of air and slowly turned around unwillingly. The moment she turned around, a pink robe on the bed attracted her attention.

Sure enough, the emperor had hidden a beautiful woman in the palace!

Her dark eyes kept flickering. Last night, she and Esteemed wangfei chatted until they were almost done before they both went back to the palace to sleep. As for Esteemed wangfei, she had entered Huijie Hall a long time ago, so the person inside the palace definitely wasn't the third concubine of the imperial harem.

However … Jiang Lanxin's eyes shined brightly as she rolled her eyes. In this harem, who would be so bold as to climb onto the dragon bed?

"Hurry up and leave!" Yan Mo Chen looked at Jiang Lanxin's pensive eyes and could not help but shout out coldly.

"Yes, chenqie will take her leave." Jiang Lanxin's body trembled as she quietly turned around and retreated.

Yan Mo Chen turned around and looked at her. Sure enough, that pig-like woman was still sleeping peacefully on the bed.

"Someone, come."

He gave a soft shout, and Eunuch Zhao hurried over.

"This old servant is here."

"I sent someone to escort this lady back to the cold palace after the imperial court." Yan Mo Yu said with an expressionless face.

Eunuch Zhao looked at the person sleeping peacefully in the inner hall and couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. It could be said that the empress had never dared to wake up after the emperor, and he was exceptionally concerned about this young lady. It seemed that moving out from the cold palace was just around the corner.

After Yan Mo Chen said this, he threw the dragon robe Jiang Lanxin took away earlier onto the ground and said coldly, "Bring me a new one."

"Yes." Eunuch Zhao nodded his head and bowed. After receiving the order, he immediately sent someone to deliver a new dragon robe.

"Take this and burn it." As for his obsession with cleanliness, he was always clear about it.

"Yes." Eunuch Zhao picked up the dragon robe with a bow and handed it over. After giving a few instructions, he watched as his emperor strode out of the palace.

Eunuch Zhao immediately ordered a few quick-witted people to send Qiao Qiao back to the cold palace quietly.

The Cold Palace.

Die'er looked at the unconscious girl on the bed with tears in her eyes, sobbing.

"Miss, your life is truly bitter. You are only going to sleep, how did you end up like this?"

"Miss, it's all my fault that I wasn't able to protect you. If I had brought you back when I was serving yesterday, you wouldn't have ended up like this."

"Miss, please wake up, Miss …"

Die'er's self-reproaching words, the continuous sobs of tears, disturbed Joe's still early morning dream.

Qiao Qiao still slowly opened her eyes. Looking at Die'er who was crying like she was about to cry, she couldn't help but frown. "I'm not dead yet. Why are you crying for me?"

"Miss, Miss, you're awake!" Hearing Qiao Qiao still speak, Die'er's mouth was full of excitement. She gently supported the still weak Qiao on the bed, but complained after her happiness had passed, "Miss, don't be so disheartened. Since the emperor is intentionally making things difficult for you, Miss can escape from the palace."

"Flee?" Qiao Qiao's eyes still flashed. Could it be that she really could escape?

"That's right, Miss. I finally managed to contact Big Brother yesterday." Die'er had an excited expression on her face. In any case, this cold palace was a place where everyone kept their distance, and even if people from the harem were to pass by, they would rather stay back than be tainted by any bad luck. Thus, Qiao Qiao and Die'er were not afraid of things like walls and ears.

"Really? Where is Master Shen now? " Qiao Qiao was still overjoyed. When Qingwu had obtained the note from the Demon Palace to tell Shen QianXun that he was in trouble, she had been worrying about it. She never thought that Shen QianXun would really be rescued!

"Yes!" Die'er nodded her head heavily before saying, "Big brother said in his letter that he and esteemed imperial concubine were in the same place. It was esteemed imperial concubine Yuan who saved him."

Qiao Qiao's heart was still full of joy. As she expected, Ji Mingyuan hadn't listened to her words to leave the capital ever since they parted ways in the Demon Palace. Instead, he had been secretly helping her.

"Great." Qiao Qiao said joyfully.

"That's right. With brother and concubine helping out from outside the palace, and the help of a servant and Sir Yan Mu from inside the palace, wouldn't it be easy for Miss to leave?" Die'er was even more elated. She had long tired of the palace's deceitful and cowardly affairs. If she could leave the palace with the young miss, she could be considered able to live the life she wanted to live.

Yan Mu … Joe's eyes still dimmed.

Speaking of Yan Mu, the last time he risked his life to enter the Sky Prison to save Qingwu was already a big taboo against Yan Mo Chen. Yan Mo Chen did not spare him even a little bit of mercy that time because Yan Mu had grown up with him, and instead punished him even more harshly than before.

In the future, she still needed to entrust Qingwu to him. How could she watch him walk into the pit of fire?

No matter what, even if she wanted to escape the Imperial Palace, she could not take advantage of even a single moment of Yumu's words. It would be best if she did not have any relationship with him while she was in the Cold Palace.
