The path, winding as if without end, was impossibly large in Plum Garden, and the sweeping snow hurt my hands so much that I could hear my bones crunching in the cold.

"Hey, it's snowing so heavily, stop sweeping here." A clear male voice shouted from behind him.

I turned to see a guard. He must have heard something and came to see.

Ignoring him, I still had to sweep. I don't know how long this trip will take, but it's not like I'm the only one who didn't follow the palace rules when Madame Li punished me.

The person behind ran up and stepped on my bamboo blade. He looked at me and said, "Hey, I said, stop sweeping, it's snowing so heavily, don't let the palace maids freeze your body and ruin it. Why are you only wearing this little bit, and you're even drenched, are you really courting death?" he cried out.

"Oi, don't cry. Come, put these clothes on first." He got anxious and quickly took off his outer clothes and covered me with them. "Which palace's maid are you from, why did you send you to this Plum Garden? Who do I think it is? " He robbed me of my bamboo sweep.

She touched my cold hand and shouted again, "Your maid, is it true, is there something wrong with your head? Is there something wrong with your body? There's so much snow on top of it, and your feet are on the ground again. What are you trying so hard for?" He tossed the bamboo aside and took out something small from his waist and placed it in my hand. "Warm it up."

When I touched my hand, the pain made me flinch.

He grabbed my hand and gasped. "Blisters."

I quickly pulled back and looked at him with tears in my eyes. He was an unfamiliar man, but he had an air of grandeur.

"Which palace's maid are you from? Mistress is really too much, go back first, your thin and snowy clothes are so big, how can your weak body withstand the cold? Although you will suffer some grievances in the palace, your life is still more important, let me sweep for you."

He didn't say anything else. He picked up the bamboo sweep and vigorously swept it. The strength of a man and woman were different. I need a long time to sweep away the snow. He swept it in just a few swishes.

"Thank you." I said softly.

"Thank me for what." He raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Go back quickly. This isn't what a woman should do."

He took two steps and looked back at him. His heart was very moved, there were also good people in the palace.

He thought that I was a palace maid and that everyone else had similar statuses, but my identity, even if I was inferior to a palace maid, I still wouldn't be able to escape.

I went back to the palace to soak in the hot water, still feeling the chill, and when I went to sleep in the middle of the night, my body was so hot that I was sweating. I think I was sick. Hugging the quilt tightly, no matter how hot it is, I won't let myself feel the chill outside the quilt. I have no right to be sick.

I didn't want to be unable to make it through the winter, so I pulled the quilt away while I was still in a daze. Then, with a cold snort, I said, "Did you sleep well?"

A dense coldness rolled over as he breathed heavily and looked at Yun Zhi Qiu who should not have appeared. His eyes were filled with sternness: "Yun Zhi Qiu, what exactly do you want? "Are you satisfied only because you want to force me to kill you?"

I grabbed the covers and wrapped myself in them.

He flew into a rage, "Yun Zhiqiu, do you think I don't dare to kill you? "I'll let you have your way with my battle spirit. Seeing how arrogant you are, you shouldn't have gotten covered by Imperial Concubine Li. If it's a chance for the prince, he can even slay a few of your clans, there's no way to quell the hatred in my heart."

His eyelids weighed a thousand pounds. Looking at him, he only felt annoyed. He coldly said, "Scram, or you can just kill me." I'm sick of it, I've lived enough, so I don't have to go through this.

I wanted to live, maybe to wait for Xia Junxiang to come back, but I was so tired from living that I almost didn't know my name. Before Li Fei finished bullying me, he came again.

If the palace doesn't tolerate me, then kill me.

His face contorted at once, and he covered me with the covers and held me tight.

I had a relaxed feeling that if I killed me like this, it would be the end of my bitter journey.

His hands were so strong that he didn't allow me to struggle at all. My breathing became more and more rapid, but he didn't struggle at all. It wasn't an injustice for him to die in his hands, after all, he was the Emperor.

After all, he had appeared in my dreams. If he killed me with his own hands, I would never have a dream about him again for the rest of my life.

It's a pity that Xia Junchang and I won't be able to wait for your return. I really want to play another song with you, to listen to your lily-lithe zither music, and to listen to my gentle and gentle playing with you.

I've heard that there is such a thing as a soul. If I die, my soul will go to the northwest, and your voice will definitely lead me there.

So hot, so hot, almost suffocating, why didn't he just put in a little more effort, then he could strangle me, always like this slowly torturing me, not even giving me a quick death.
