"Uh! I said I was kicked in, do you believe me?"

Yan He was a little embarrassed. His butt still hurt. It showed how hard Jiang Ciyuan’s kick had hit him!

"Do you believe it yourself?" Xie Zhiyuan pulled out the dagger and put it not against Yan He, but against her own neck, with a resolute look in her eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't get excited, big sister! I'm not a bad person. I just want to come in and take a look. Think about it, I came in here many years ago, and I left when I heard some noise!"

"Think about it carefully, it's me!"

Yan He was totally confused. What kind of person was this? He would draw his knife just because of a disagreement, and he would draw his knife on himself. He had been wandering around the world for so many years, but he had never encountered such a person.

Xie Zhiyuan didn't believe Yan He at all. Just half a month ago, that bastard Helian Xiuhan had used this trick to test her. Now she didn't trust anyone but herself.

If he dared to come closer, she would commit suicide. She didn't want to live anymore. If she didn't want to see her sister and children again, she would have died long ago.

She was really tired of living like a walking corpse for so many years! She wanted to see Liang Qi as soon as possible, the handsome young man who was always as gentle as jade and looked at her with a smile.

"Don't get excited! I was asked by someone to come in and see you. Do you know Song Lingyun and Zhou Sisi? They asked me to come in and see you!"

"Be prepared. They will find a chance to come in and rescue you in the next few days!"

"By the way, they dug out two iron boxes at the Xie family's old house today. I saw that they seemed to be black iron boxes with mechanical mechanisms. I guess you should know about this!"

"I've said so much, but I don't know if you believe me or not. Anyway, I'm leaving now. You'll know when you see them!"

Yan He didn't want to say more. He could see that the woman in front of him was very emotional. If he kept talking, she might have a mental breakdown and stab him.

He later heard that this woman was Queen Liang Xia, but he really didn't know the specific reason why she was imprisoned in the cold palace.

Never mind, there’s no point in saying more. Let’s just wait for Zhou Sisi and the others to come in!

"wait!"

Seeing that Yan He was about to leave, Xie Zhiyuan quickly called out to him. Yes, she inexplicably felt that the name Song Lingyun was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere!

Then she thought of a letter her sister had written to her a long time ago, in which she said that she now had a daughter named Xiao Yun'er, whose real name seemed to be Song Lingyun. She also asked her to come to Dayu to play, saying that the little girl was very pretty and that she would definitely like her when she met her.

She was the only one who knew about this matter, and she had never told anyone else about it, so the man in black in front of her must not be someone sent by that bastard Helian Xiuhan.

There was also the matter of the two iron boxes. She had overheard this matter when she was a little girl. The ancestors of the Xie family were from the Northern Dynasty, but later came to Liangxia for some unknown reason.

The two iron boxes seemed to contain some drawings. She had only seen a little bit of them through the window. She only remembered that her grandfather and father said that the things inside were very important. She didn't know what else was inside.

But there were indeed two iron boxes, and that bastard Helian Xiu Han had forced her to tell him the whereabouts of the things. Unfortunately, she had no idea at all. Even if he forced her to death, she would still not know where the things were hidden!

"What's wrong? Sister, have you figured it out?" Yan He stopped and asked in confusion.

"Are the Song Lingyun you mentioned the princess of Dayu? Is that so?" Xie Zhiyuan asked with trembling lips. In fact, the turmoil in her heart was about to swallow her up, and now the hand holding the knife was shaking.

"Yes! It's her!" Yan He had just finished speaking when he heard birds singing outside.

It was obvious that this was the signal from Jiang Laosi. Otherwise, why would there be any bird calls at night when all the birds would have gone back to their nests to sleep? This was not the call of an owl!

"No more talking, someone is coming. Big sister, I'm leaving first!" Yan He raised his foot and was about to climb out the window and leave.

"Hero, wait a minute. This is for you. Please give it to Song Lingyun for me!" Xie Zhiyuan threw down the knife, pulled a pendant from her neck, ran to Yan He in two steps, and handed the pendant to him.

"Okay! I'll definitely bring it to her for you. I'm leaving now!"

Immediately afterwards, Yan He disappeared from the window, leaving only Xie Zhiyuan standing by the window, crying silently.

In less than a moment, the door of the cold palace was kicked open from the outside with a clang, and Helian Xiu Han, reeking of alcohol, walked in!

"What? Can't I even have a cup of tea at your place now?"

Helian Xiuhan looked at Xie Zhiyuan standing at the window, then sat down at the table, looking up and down at the woman whose eyes were still red.

After so many years, no matter what means he used, even giving the position of queen to this woman, he still couldn't warm her heart.

"This palace is yours. If you want to have a cup of tea, there are many people rushing to pour it for you. Why make yourself uncomfortable here?" Xie Zhiyuan's cold words came as expected, which did not surprise Helian Xiuhan at all.

"You haven't changed at all." Helian Xiuhan's words seemed to be talking about her, but also seemed to be talking about himself.

"Thanks to you! It's just as you wish!" Xie Zhiyuan lowered her eyes and didn't want to look at him, she looked up at the moonlight outside the window.

She was thinking that the man in black who had just called her "big sister" must leave the palace safely and give the pendant to Song Lingyun. Thinking of this, Xie Zhiyuan secretly clenched her fists.

"boom!"

Xie Zhiyuan's chin was pinched, and her whole body was pressed against the windowsill by Helian Xiuhan. Her back hit the corner of the windowsill, which was really painful, but she absolutely could not show weakness in front of this bastard, so she bit her lips tightly.

"So many years have passed, the dead are dead, who are you holding on for? Why can't you just look at me!"

Helian Xiuhan's hand couldn't help but move down, tightly pinching Xie Zhiyuan's neck, his eyes fixed on the woman who slowly closed her eyes and was ready to die.

Seeing her like this, Helian Xiuhan felt like a failure! He was so angry that he threw Xie Zhiyuan away, threw her to the ground, and hit her head on the cold wall.

Xie Zhiyuan gritted his teeth, endured the pain and slowly sat up. He touched the back of his head and found his fingers were sticky. It was blood!

She couldn't die now, she wanted to see her sister, she was about to see her sister, she couldn't die! But as she thought about it, her vision became more and more blurred, as if she saw Liang Qi, and as if she saw her sister smiling at her. At the last moment before she closed her eyes, she seemed to see Helian Xiuhan's panicked face.
