Bai Nanyu sat beside the bed, gently holding Wan'er 's cold hand, his eyes full of heartache.

" Wan'er , it's okay. Take good care of yourself first. You will have children in the future."

Bai Nanyu stayed for a few minutes, said he had some unfinished government affairs, and left.

Wan'er lay on the bed, with a trace of loneliness on her pale face. Linglong gently tucked the corner of the quilt for her and comforted her softly, "Your Majesty, it's okay. Didn't the emperor say that he would investigate it thoroughly? You can relax and take care of yourself first.

Linglong finished speaking, Wan'er sneered, and the laughter was full of endless ridicule and bitterness. She turned her head slightly, looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, and murmured in a low voice, "Will he investigate? Even pigs can climb trees."

Although her voice was small, it revealed deep despair and anger. When Linglong saw this, her heart felt sad, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

Wan'er 's eyes shone with tears, but she held back the tears.

She knew that in this deep palace, there was no one she could truly rely on except herself.

And those so-called promises and investigations were just empty words made by the emperor to appease her.

Shen Nianwan struggled to sit up, with a hint of determination on her pale face.

She gently pushed away Linglong's hand that wanted to hold her, walked towards the window step by step, looked at the gloomy sky, and took a deep breath, as if she wanted to inhale all the bitterness and despair into her lungs, and then turn it into strength.

Linglong followed closely, her eyes full of worry, "Empress, are you going to..."

"Let's go out with me." Although Wan'er 's voice was soft, it was filled with unquestionable determination. She stood up slowly, put on her coat, and walked out of the palace.

Linglong hurriedly followed and saw that although Wan'er's steps were a little weak, every step she took was firm and powerful.

Shen Nianwan walked through the twists and turns of the corridor, and every step seemed to be stepping on broken ice, cold and firm.

Linglong followed closely, and her heart was even more worried. She caught a glimpse of the determination flashing in Shen Nianwan's eyes, and her heart tightened.

The wind blew gently, bringing a slight chill, and Wan'er 's hair fluttered gently in the wind, which further showed the perseverance on her pale face.

She looked up at the lonely cold palace in the distance, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

Seeing this, Linglong hurriedly took a step forward and whispered, "Madam, the Leng Palace is a cold and desolate place. You haven't recovered yet, so it's really not advisable to go there."

Shen Nianwan shook her head gently, with a bitter smile on her lips. She said lightly, "It doesn't matter, it's like this. I'm still afraid of this?"

Shen Nianwan stepped into the cold palace step by step, as if she had stepped into another world.

The cold palace is dilapidated and overgrown with grass, which is in sharp contrast to the magnificent palace outside.

"Sister, why are you here?" Shen Nianshu's voice was hoarse and a bit sad.

Shen Nianwan walked up to her, knelt down, and gently held her hand.

Shen Nianwan looked deeply at the former sister in front of her, with a hint of complicated emotions flashing in her eyes. She took a deep breath and whispered, " Shu'er , I know you are suffering in your heart, and so am I. In this deep palace, we are like duckweeds, helpless."

When Shen Nianshu heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then turned firm. She held Shen Nianwan's hand tightly and said with a slightly trembling voice, "Sister, are you really willing to believe me? Will you fight against those forces with me?"

Shen Nianwan nodded, with a firm light shining in his eyes, "No further words, I will cooperate with you. We must find out the truth together and make those who harmed us pay the price."

A trace of doubt flashed in Shen Nianshu's eyes. She frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "Sister, what are you talking about to harm us? Could it be..."

Shen Nianwan nodded slightly, a coldness flashed in his eyes, "Yes, the person who caused you and me to miscarry should be the same person. But I suspect that there is a bigger conspiracy behind this."

As she spoke, she stood up and looked around at the dilapidated cold palace. A trace of determination flashed in her eyes, "We can't sit still and wait for death. We must take the initiative. Shu'er , I know you are having a hard time in the cold palace, but please believe me. As long as Together we can uncover the truth behind this.”

Listening to Shen Nianwan's words, Shen Nianshu's eyes gradually glowed with light. She held Shen Nianwan's hand tightly and said firmly, "Sister, I believe you."

Shen Nianwan coughed slightly, her face looking even paler in the coldness of the cold palace.

Seeing this, Shen Nianshu said hurriedly, "Sister, please go back quickly. This place is cold and cold, and your body cannot bear it."

Shen Nianwan waved her hand and insisted, "It doesn't matter, I still have a few words to say to you." Although her voice was soft, there was a firmness to it.

" Shu'er , we must be careful and not let those people notice our movements." Shen Nianwan whispered, her voice trembling in the cold wind.

After Shen Nianwan left, silence returned to the cold palace.

Shen Nianshu sat on the dilapidated bed, with complicated emotions flashing in her eyes.

Caiwei walked up to her cautiously and asked in a low voice, "Empress, is what she said credible?"

Shen Nianshu was silent for a moment, then slowly raised her head, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes.

She whispered, "At least now, I believe her. We are in this deep palace, and the enemy of our enemy is our friend."

Caiwei nodded, with a trace of worry flashing in her eyes, "But empress, do we really want to join forces with her? What if..."

Shen Nianshu interrupted her words with a firm and powerful voice, "There is no such thing as a chance. We have been forced into a desperate situation, and only by taking the initiative can we find a chance of survival. I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to uncover the truth behind this , Let those who harmed us pay the price. Let’s talk about the rest later.”

Linglong carefully took out a letter and handed it into Shen Nianwan's hand.

Shen Nianwan took the letter and gently rubbed the paper with her fingertips, as if she could feel the warmth from the distance. She took a deep breath, slowly unfolded the letter paper, and the handwriting came into view.

Shen Nianwan opened the letter and read it, the expression on his face changing with the content of the letter. What the letter said was the latest news about Hua Xiangrong.

The letter described that there was an endless stream of people in front of Hua Xiangrong’s shop. The aroma of rouge and gouache in the store is overflowing, attracting the passing women to stop. The guys in the store were busy greeting customers, with joyful smiles on their faces.

Shen Nianwan seemed to be able to see the busy and lively scene through the letter paper. She smiled softly, a hint of appreciation flashing in her eyes.

"I didn't expect that Hua Xiangrong's business would be so booming." She whispered to herself, gently sliding her fingers over the letter paper.
