The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

"cold."

Zhou Shiyue thought for a long time and said this word.

Qinglin almost blurted out: "Prince, you knew that it was the cold palace, so you just made up a random word to cover it up?"

Fortunately, he didn't say it out loud.

If he really said this, he would probably be punished again.

Although he didn't say anything, Qing Feng still pulled him. Qing Feng was afraid that he would really say something inappropriate, after all, he saw Qing Lin's mouth open.

This kid has been punished so many times and finally he has learned his lesson.

Don't you think about who the prince is? How could he be talking nonsense when he said the word "cold"?

Sure enough, they heard Lu Zhaoling question Zhou Shiyue, "Is it colder inside the cold palace than outside? Is this the feeling you get the moment you step through the gates?"

Zhou Shiyue nodded, "Yes."

He was not very sure just now, but when Lu Zhaoling asked him this question, he thought about it carefully and was sure that he did have this feeling at that time.

"But at the time, I thought the cold palace was in a remote area, and the palace gate was rarely exposed to sunlight all year round, so it was normal for it to be a little cool, so I didn't think there was anything wrong with it."

Hearing the prince say this, Qinglin cried out in his heart, "My mother." It seems to be true!

He had thought so before this moment.

But it sounds like that's not the reason?

Lu Zhaoling reached out and gently tugged at Yin Changxing's sleeve, and asked softly, "Master, is this what Yin Taohua looks like?"

"Ah."

Yin Changxing nodded, his expression not looking very good.

When Zhou Shiyue heard the three words "Yin Taohua", his beautiful long eyebrows frowned.

He was in disbelief.

"Yin Peach Blossom? Isn't this something some ignorant people do? For example, arranging a Yin marriage for their children."

Logically speaking, this kind of thing should never happen to him.

Yin Changxing thought so at first.

If it were someone else in the royal family, there might be a slight possibility. But who is Zhou Shiyue?

With all his merits and virtues, who would dare to marry him to a Yin woman? How could any Yin peach blossom bloom on him?

Lu Zhaoling also found it hard to believe.

But no matter how she looked at it, the pink glow sandwiched between the golden glow on Zhou Shiyue's body did not fade.

Peach Blossom Tribulation is Peach Blossom Tribulation.

She didn't expect to encounter such a thing just after returning from the underworld, and she was somewhat angry.

"I'll tell you everything that happened in the cold palace in detail," Zhou Shiyue said, his body surging with murderous intent. He was even angrier than Lu Zhaoling. "Master, Aling, please help me find out how I got involved. If there are any problems with those abandoned concubines and palace maids in the cold palace..."

There was a flash of anger in his eyes.

If those people really had problems, he wouldn't mind cleaning up the cold palace for his father and brother. He wouldn't mind twisting those people's heads off!

Qinglin and Qingfeng also looked serious.

Yin Taohua, and it happened in the harem, this matter is too serious. If it is not handled properly, the harem will be in chaos.

But if this is true, they also think that even blood and rain are normal and should be the case!

How could the prince be infected with peach blossoms in the cold palace?

This is no small matter.

The emperor was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.

They went into the hall and sat down.

Yin Changxing signaled Zhou Shiyue to start speaking.

Zhou Shiyue explained it in great detail.

There are actually not many deposed concubines and palace maids in the cold palace now. From the generation of the retired emperor, there is only one Concubine Le left.

This Concubine Le lived in the cold palace for so many years, but she didn't go crazy and lived very well there. Nothing happened to her, and she didn't even get sick. She lived well in the cold palace.

Zhou Shiyue saw her.

In addition to Le Changzai, there was another palace maid. She was a little palace maid who had followed Le Changzai before. When Le Changzai was banished to the cold palace that year, that palace maid actually followed her in as well.

However, the little palace maid was not in good spirits and looked a little dazed. It took a long time for her to respond when asked a question.

Now it is hard to say who is serving whom, but they depend on each other and live well there.

In addition to this master-servant pair, there are two deposed concubines, who are the concubines of the current emperor. These two deposed concubines have really committed crimes.

One of them once framed the second prince, but because of her good family background, the emperor did not kill her, but only sent her to the cold palace.

In the first two years, Concubine Shu did not forget to let people bully her from time to time.

The other deposed concubine was sick and always had a bad smell on her body, which made the emperor very disgusted. On the night when she was called, she offended the emperor. He was very ashamed and angry at the time, and he sent her to the cold palace in a fit of rage.

Unexpectedly, the sick deposed concubine survived in the cold palace.

These people usually live in separate rooms and rarely interact with each other.

When Zhou Shiyue went to find Le Changzai, the two deposed concubines must have been eavesdropping and watching in the room, because he could sense their gazes.

But the two deposed concubines did not show up and did not come out to ask him to rescue them.

He made this very clear.

The cold palace is not very tidy and clean now, after all, there is really no one to clean it.

However, it is not as dirty and smelly as others imagine, and it is still habitable. It is just extremely cold in the winter, and no one sends enough charcoal.

There were also deposed concubines who died of illness or freezing in the cold palace.

"You met Concubine Le, what did you say to her?" Lu Zhaoling asked.

Yin Changxing spoke at the same time as her, asking, "Did you touch their bodies?"

Lu Zhaoling opened his eyes wide.

"Master, you care more about Zhou Shiyue's cleanliness than I do."

She had never thought of asking this question. Does the master care so much about it?

Yin Changxing glanced at her, reached out and tapped her forehead with a click.

"What the hell are you thinking about?"

Zhou Shiyue also glared at her.

"Master, I didn't touch her, but when I asked her a question, she dropped a piece of paper from her sleeve, and I..."

"Did you pick it up?" Yin Changxing asked.

"Yes."

At that time, Le Changzai didn't seem to notice that he had dropped a note, and he picked it up when she turned around.

"She talked about some of Aunt Yao's past in the palace, and it didn't sound wrong. However, the maidservant beside her suddenly changed her expression when she heard about my mother."

Zhou Shiyue felt a little strange and wanted to see what was written on the note.

"Have you brought it?" Yin Changxing asked.

Zhou Shiyue knew that he was asking about the note, so he took it out from his sleeve pocket.

Lu Zhaoling reached out, took it, and opened it.

Written on it were a string of unrelated words and a few ink spots that looked as if they had been accidentally stained.

"I have no idea what it means, so I wanted Qing Xiao to check it out." Zhou Shiyue said.

Yin Changxing took a look and sighed, "Why can't I see it?"
