Zhao Yue likes quietness, and she has a cold relationship with her mother Yang Guifei and intends to be alienated. So early on, she took the initiative to ask to live in a remote palace, that is, the cold palace. After the coup, many people were hit. Zhao Yue survived and lived in the cold palace again. She didn't need to go to make a living, and no one paid attention to her, and there was almost no sense of existence.

Li Xun walked into the deserted palace and looked at the surrounding environment. He sighed for a moment. He was very familiar with this place. During the years he studied in the palace, he often came here to secretly date Zhao Yue and told her stories. More than ten years have passed, and time has passed so quickly!

In the yard, Zhao Yue squatted on the ground, cleaning vegetables, and a basin of water was placed on the side, containing cleaned rice. On the other side, a palace maid who was one or two years younger than Zhao Yue and wearing a thick gray dress was walking towards the kitchen with difficulty, holding a big bucket of water. The palace maid was named Xiaoqiu. She is Zhao Yue’s favorite and closest palace maid, and the only one here today.

Xiaoqiu did not walk smoothly, as if there was a wound on her legs and a hideous scar on her face, which spanned the entire face. The scar was red and swollen, which was obviously a recent injury.

After the coup, Zhao Yue's mother Yang Guifei and the emperor's brother Zhao Shuo were both arrested and strictly prohibited from being kept in charge. The two were killed one after another. Since then, Zhao Yue's life suddenly became extremely difficult. Although Zhao Xun finally let Zhao Yue go because of Li Xun and Li Yi's plea, the eunuchs and palace maids who were inclined to be insulted and persecuted Zhao Yue frequently. Fortunately, Xiaoqiu was loyal and fought to protect her, so that she could save her life.

Xiao Lezi knew that Li Xun and Zhao Yue were very close. After hearing this, he simply transferred all the eunuchs and maids in the palace where Zhao Yue lived? It seemed to be ugly for Zhao Yue, but in fact, without those eunuchs, Zhao Yue didn't have to worry about being ridiculed and bullied by people around him.

Zhao Yue couldn't see her eyes? But her ears were very sensitive? She heard Li Xun walking? She raised her head and asked softly, "Who is here?"

Li Xun looked at Zhao Yue? His heart was full of stinginess and pain, but he was powerless to do something and could not get involved at all. After walking around for many times, he finally told Li Yi to plead for Zhao Yue. It was Li Xun who could do his best.

Li Xun walked to Zhao Yue, squatted down, put his hands into the basin.

"I'll help you."

Hearing this familiar voice, Zhao Yue's eyes turned red, but after experiencing some things, she was obviously much stronger than before. In just a moment, Zhao Yue smiled: "Brother Li Xun, you haven't been here for a long time. I'll cook today, you must stay."

Li Xun nodded: "I won't leave."

Li Xun and Zhao Yue were washing vegetables while talking. Zhao Yue’s face was full of smiles. She was obviously very happy with Li Xun’s arrival.

Afterwards, Zhao Yue went to the kitchen to cook fire and Li Xun helped. The two of them worked hard for most of the day, but they only cooked two dishes, all of which were vegetables, without any oil and water, and the clear soup was not because Zhao Yue didn't know how to cook, but because she only had these things here.

Looking at the two green vegetables on the table, Li Xun looked at Xiao Lezi. The latter smiled bitterly and shook his head, stretched out his finger and pointed to the sky. The meaning was very clear. It was not that he was unwilling to take care of Zhao Yue, but that was Zhao Xun's intention, and he could do nothing.

Xiaoqiu took out an egg from his arms and put it in Zhao Yue's hand: "Princess, this is what Pingchun secretly gave me, you can eat it."

Zhao Yue handed it to Li Xun with an egg and said sweetly: "Brother Li Xun, I'll give it to you."

Li Xun looked at Zhao Yue and saw something from her smile, so she smiled, but did not refuse, took the egg, peeled it and ate it.

Xiao Lezi didn't eat this meal, Xiao Qiu didn't eat either, Zhao Yue just ate a little, but Li Xun finished all the rice and dishes, and didn't even leave the soup.

"I'm so full, Princess Yue, the dishes you cook are still so delicious."

Li Xun patted his stomach and said with a smile.

Zhao Yue said happily: "It's good that you like to eat."

Li Xun looked at Xiaoqiu and smiled and said, "Sorry, I let me finish it alone, which makes you hungry. In this way, I'll ask someone to send some food to you later, which is to compensate you."

Xiaoqiu looked at Li Xun with emotion, nodded and said, "Thank you, Li Xiangguo."

Li Xun waved his hand and said to Xiao Lezi: "I am a prime minister, why don't you give me this little face?"

"I'll ask someone to send it later."

Xiao Lezi was also quite moved in this situation. True love was revealed in times of adversity. How could Li Xun's temperament not be admired or moved? I am willing to help with such a busy life.

Zhao Yue whispered: "Brother Li Xun, it's been a long time since I heard you tell Yue'er a story!"

Li Xun said softly: "I'll tell you."

Then, Li Xun helped Zhao Yue to the study room. When he arrived at the door, Li Xun turned around and smiled at Xiao Lezi, "Do you want to come in and listen?"

Xiao Lezi smiled and said, "I'll go find someone to send something."

Xiaoqiu also said quickly: "I'll go wash the dishes."

The two made excuses and left one after another.

Li Xun helped Zhao Yue into the study, turned around and closed the door, behind him was Zhao Yue hugged him hard.

Li Xun held the door with both hands, motionless.

"Brother Li Xun, I'm so scared, I'm really scared. My mother died, Brother Chu King died, and my father died. Although I can't see it, I can feel that everyone has a deep malice towards me. This malice has made me feel chilled all over."

Zhao Yue cried bitterly: "Brother Li Xun, would you please take Yue'er away from here? I like you. I have always liked you since the day you told Yue'er a story."

Li Xun closed his eyes and clenched his fists tightly. He did not have no good feelings for Zhao Yue. That kind of feeling was something that Li Xun had never experienced in his life. It was very hazy, but beautiful and innocent. Until Yang Guifei noticed the closeness between Li Xun and Zhao Yue, the meeting between Li Xun and Zhao Yue began to become difficult, and even Li Yi heard the wind and said a lot to him. Although the words were gentle, Li Xun understood the meaning. Some people were destined to be two worlds.

Over the years, Li Xun and Zhao Yue have met very few times, but Li Xun has never forgotten Zhao Yue. It’s not that he doesn’t want to see him, but that he can’t see him and dares not see him. He can only bury some things deeply in his heart.

Zhao Yue cried for a long time, her voice getting smaller and smaller. Finally, she stopped crying, slowly let go of Li Xun, stepped back, and slowly sat down.
