C652 The Land of the Far North

It's cold... Ye Xunxun shivered all over and opened her eyes in a daze. The scenery in front of her was blurry and overlapping.

After getting used to the light in front of her, Ye Xunxun stood up weakly and supported herself with her fingers on the cold wall to prevent herself from falling.

This was a dilapidated and cold house. There was only a hard bed beside the bed with a tattered quilt on it.

Looking at herself again, her entire body was dirty and there was not a single place that was clean.

"Is there anyone else?" Ye Xunxun's voice was hoarse as she walked with some difficulty. Cold... It was really cold. Where exactly was this place?

Looking around, there was no food and no water. Ye Xunxun bit her lower lip with all her might to prevent herself from fainting.

Her slender and beautiful fingers trembled as she opened the door. At the moment when it came into contact with the outside world, Ye Xunxun's entire body froze and she suddenly became petrified.

Heavens... Was she... In a dream...

It was a vast expanse of white snow. At a glance, it was boundless. It was a dazzling silvery white color. It looked so monotonous that it was terrifying.

Looking at the snow, there was not a single footprint. Could it be that there was no one here?

A wave of panic spread in her heart. Ye Xunxun held the door frame and softly muttered, "Where is this..."

Why was she here? Wasn't she still in the garden in the palace?

Just as she took a step, Ye Xunxun's body could not stop sinking. She was so scared that she screamed and quickly retracted her feet.

The snow was actually so thick that one of her feet was almost buried...

The bone-piercing cold wind blew with the snowflakes. Ye Xunxun's entire body was cold and could not help but tremble. She could only withdraw her gaze and quickly returned to the small room.

Tears could not stop falling. Ye Xunxun sat by the bed and a handsome man appeared in front of her. Karl, where are you... I am afraid...

It was obvious that he wanted to kill her. There was no food, no water, and the weather was cold. There was only a broken cotton blanket that could resist the cold.

Most importantly, it's snowing outside, she can't go out and ask for help...

Thinking of this, Ye Xunxun's heart was filled with endless sorrow, and her tears fell even more violently.

After a while, Ye Xunxun finally calmed down. No, she could not wait for death like this... She still had a son...

Her slender and fair fingers wiped away the tears from her lower jaw, but they touched a patch of coldness. Ye Xunxun was stunned for a moment before realizing that there was a necklace on her neck.

It was a flower carved from platinum. It was vivid and lifelike, layered over each other. The shape was perfect and the workmanship was exquisite.

This was the birthday present that Mimi gave to her before. If she remembered correctly, Mimi previously said that there was... a listening device and a locator inside...

Her finger reached to the back of her neck and slowly took off the necklace. Ye Xunxun softly said, "Mimi, I am older sister. Can you hear me?"

"Right now, I do not know where I am... Mimi... I am afraid..."

"This place is snow white. Karl should have also discovered that I am missing but I do not know if he can find me."

"If you hear what sister said, please send my location to him..."

Just as she was holding the necklace, the wooden door was suddenly pulled open. It made a creaking sound, scaring Ye Xunxun until her whole body trembled. She looked up at the door.

"This was sent over recently? Damn, why is it a woman!"

Ye Xunxun looked at the person at the door and was clearly stunned. The person at the door was dressed very thick. He wore a furry earthen hat on his head. His beard was untrimmed and his body was robust. He had a strong back and a strong waist.

"You... Who are you..." Ye Xunxun looked at the person at the door and could not help but shrink towards the corner of the bed.

"I brought you to the factory and thought that I had sent a workforce over. Who would have thought that it was a woman who was so weak that she could not stand the wind."

As the man spoke, he strode forward. The wooden floor was shaking as if it was going to collapse. It was very frightening.

"I... I am not a workforce. My name is Ye Xunxun. I am the Queen of Z Country." Ye Xunxun felt that the man did not have any ill intentions and gradually relaxed.

"I do not know who brought me here. Can you send me back to the capital?"

The brawny middle-aged man was stunned for a moment but he suddenly laughed loudly. His voice was loud and clear and it seemed like the roof was about to be lifted off.

"You are the queen? If you are the queen, then I am the king of Z Country. "

Ye Xunxun bit her lips, her almond eyes filled with sparkling liquid. "I am not lying to you. I am Prince Karl's wife, the queen of Country Z."

"Alright, stop making up stories. No matter who you are, once you come to Northen Lands, don't even think about going back."

Northen Lands... When these four words came out, Ye Xunxun was stunned...

It was not that she did not know about this place. It should be said that the place that everyone knew...

Northen Lands, the place with the worst environment in the entire Z Country. It was covered in ice and snow all year round. The cold wreaked havoc, and not a single blade of grass grew.

The people here were all demoted to this place because they had made mistakes... They basically had no chance to leave this place for the rest of their lives.

Unless they were pardoned, their children and grandchildren could only stay here...

But why did she come here? Ye Xunxun thought and her whole body trembled, "No, I don't believe it. You must be lying to me. Why would I come here?"

"It doesn't matter if I lied to you or not. Get up and come with me. There is still work in the factory." The tall man said and sneered, "However, with your small body, I estimate that you can only use it for a month."

Staying here, without food and water, you can only wait for death. It would be better to follow this tall man... then wait for an opportunity to escape...

Ye Xunxun thought as she obediently stood up from the bed and slowly walked towards the door...

"I want to know." Ye Xunxun looked at the tall guy and did not seem to have any ill intentions. She boldly opened her mouth and said, "Who sent me here?"

The tall man lowered his head and looked at Ye Xunxun. "There are many people like you. As long as you are demoted to a refugee and exiled, you will be thrown into this house."

"Then, we will be in charge of picking you up."

"Where are we going to pick them up?" Ye Xunxun's heart slowly calmed down. This person, based on intuition, should not be a bad person.

"Factory." The tall man opened the car door. "You are all laborers. If you perform well, you may be able to restore your identity as an ordinary person. However, you cannot leave this place."

"What if you perform badly?" Ye Xunxun sat on the seat and heaved a long sigh of relief. This car was much warmer than the inside of the small house...

"Not doing well? Hehe, not many of the people here can return to normal."

"Most of them either die of exhaustion, freeze to death, or... starve to death here."

Ye Xunxun used to live in an orphanage and had seen the dark and sinister nature of human nature. However, she did not expect that later on, what she saw was enough to cast a shadow over her for the rest of her life...
