Everything strange and the fact that she was the only one left in the darkness that he had just realized made fear double suddenly, and a hand like a steely hand held her heart tightly.

Yongping is afraid of the dark.

Especially this kind of cold and quiet black that cannot find a trace of light...

The conversation in my ears disappeared, and the space was so quiet that she had always been the only one.

"Li Jue...Brother...Brother..." Yongping's call finally gradually lowered. She slowly squatted down against the stone wall, and her fear could not be controlled.

In the darkness, ghosts and monsters rushed forward, and memories of the past unraveled the dusty box door.

That winter, when she was ten years old, she was locked in the cellar for a day and a night, with cold, hungry and fear intertwined. When she was young, she shrank in the corner of the cellar and shivered.

Lian'er didn't know what method she used to ask the guards to open the door and find her in the corner. She took off her fur and coat and wrapped her around her. She called her for a long time before she could get a little bit of consciousness.

It is three miles away from the cold palace cellar to the Shuangxue Hall where she lives. The fourteen-year-old Lian'er carried her to move in the wind and snow with difficulty. She was weak and confused but did not notice the bright red and dazzling blood stains in the snow that Lian'er walked through.

She couldn't remember how long they had been going for the three miles. Later, the two of them were unconscious at the intersection outside the Shuangxue Hall, looking for her and Lian'er's unsuccessful return everywhere and saw that, and then took them back.

That night she couldn't sleep. As long as she closed her eyes, she couldn't help but tremble in fear. The wet nurse held her, called her nickname over and over again, and combined with the hypnotic incense, she finally let her fall asleep.

It was noon on the second day when she woke up. The wind and snow stopped, and a little sunlight shone in from the window. She called Lian'er, but the one who came in was a panicked wet nurse.

After her repeated questioning, the wet nurse who wanted to hide it finally told the truth: Lian'er was killed by Nangong Rui, and the charge was for seducing the palace guards and filthing the palace.

Of course she didn't believe that such a crime was accused of being punished, and she went to see Lian'er despite the obstruction of the wet nurse. Nangong Rui was also arrogant enough to turn Lian'er's body into broad daylight and outside the Shuangxue Palace.

Blood was dripping, blood was blurred.

She pounced on her and cried, but she could no longer get Lian'er's response.

Nangong Rui watched her in pain and despair not far away, and then asked the guards to take Lian'er's body away from her arms and throw it to the mass grave of the suburbs of Beijing.

She wanted to rush up and kill Nangong Rui. The wet nurse grabbed her tightly. When everyone left and there was no one outside the Shuangxue Palace, she staggered back to the hall.

Every inch of land in Qinhuang Palace made her feel cold and bone-absorbent, and even the air was suffocating. She wanted to escape and breathe, so she asked the wet nurse to watch out for the Shuangxue Palace and not let someone come in. She revealed the palace through the hall.

That was when my elder brother came to see her a year ago. She accidentally said that her father would not allow her to go out of the palace to play. The elder brother originally wanted to argue with his father, but she stopped him. Later, the elder brother secretly built this tunnel for her, and the dense forest leading directly to the back mountain of Qinhuang Palace was the outer edge of the forest where the elder brother fled from the palace with her back.

She just wanted to breathe, but she had no purpose or place to go, so she covered her hand stove and walked slowly on the mountain road, but she didn't want to be shocked by the little beast that came out for food, and her feet slid into the snow pit on the side of the road.

The snow pit was not high, but she injured her feet and couldn't climb up for a while. After the warmer in her hand gradually became cold, the fur coat on her body seemed to be unable to resist the cold. She was frozen in the snow pit, and when she was unconscious, she seemed to hear Lian'er calling her over and over again.

Just when she was about to lose consciousness, a young man in green carried her out of the snow pit. He smiled softly and beautifully, dispelling her anxiety. He took her to the house where he temporarily lived, and asked someone to buy fresh and warm clothes to change into her, and cook tea and chat with her in the bamboo house.

He went to Beixing City from other places with his elders to do business. He heard that the roe deer in the forest was particularly stupid in winter, so he took advantage of his spare time to go around. However, the roe deer was not beaten, but he saved a girl.

Having said that, he asked again why she appeared alone in the mountain during heavy snow.

She could not tell the truth, but her soulmate in calligraphy and painting music made her trust in him, and she wanted to find someone to talk to because of her depression.

She told him that her mother went early and that the heavy snowfall in winter affected the family business, so her father went out to deal with it personally. Her aunt never liked her and took the opportunity to make things difficult for her to lock her in the cellar. After she was rescued by her maid, her aunt found an excuse to beat her to death. She felt uncomfortable but helpless, so she came out alone to relax.

The boy was filled with righteous indignation, but because of inconvenience to control other people's affairs, he could only comfort her softly.

They had a great conversation that day.

After she asked him to send her to the snow forest, she agreed to see her the next day.

But she didn't expect that the father would suddenly return to the palace that afternoon. Nangong Rui didn't know what she said to make her father insist on seeing her. The wet nurse was punished for being blocked for twenty.

When the father asked where she went, she just said that it was her elder brother who took her out to relax and then passed by perfunctorily.

That night, she personally took care of the injured wet nurse and fell asleep in the middle of the night. When she woke up, the wet nurse was already hanging in the room, and her panic-faced face was facing her before her death.

Everyone said that the wet nurse committed suicide by hanging herself, but before she fell asleep, the wet nurse was still comforting her to be strong, and said that she would look at the day when Hongzhuang got married, how could she have the will to hang herself?

But who would believe her?

After a continuous blow, she finally fell ill. She had a high fever for several days, and it was a few days later when she woke up.

Although the condition was cured, she forgot everything that happened in those days, forgot the suffocation in the cellar, forgot Lian'er, forgot the wet nurse, and forgot the boy.

That boy...is Li Jue.

Sixteen-year-old Li Jue.

The father, who had the whole story, severely rebuked Nangong Rui, deprived her of the eldest princess of her jade seal for one year, and ordered her to be confined to half a year.

After that, Nangong Rui finally restrained her.

But she forgot everything, only knew that Lian'er and the wet nurse were killed by Nangong Rui. From then on, she never got close to anyone and continued to live alone in the deep palace. However, since then, she began to be afraid of the darkness and the cold. When she fell asleep at night, the lights in the bedroom would be lit all night, and she would no longer dare to go to any cold and dark place alone.

Until this spring, Nangong Rui pushed him into the water...

......

"Li Jue!...Li Jue!...Li Jue!"

Li Jue, who was walking carefully, suddenly heard Yongping's call. He turned around and saw that the girl who was still held in his hand just now was gone.

"Li Jue...Brother...Brother..."

Yongping's voice was still coming, but it gradually turned into a low cry.

He remembered that she was so scared of such darkness and coldness. At this moment, she was alone and didn't know where she was. I think she must be very scared.

But how should he find her?
