Soul Orchid Hall.

Although the palace maids and eunuchs were nimble with their hands and feet, it had been many years since the Hall of Divine Orchids had been in a state of disarray. With a single move, it was already noon.

After they were done with their things and left, Shen Zhiqiao casually ate some food and returned to her room to sleep. Perhaps it was because he was too tired, so he slept all the way into the evening.

While she slept, she made a trip south to the Mausoleum of Zhou, which was the empress dowager's sleeping quarters. After she returned, she stayed outside Shen Zhiqiao's bedroom.

He didn't expect her to sleep so long. His legs were numb from standing, so he sat on the railing outside the room and unknowingly fell asleep as well.

After Shen Zhi Qiao woke up, her stomach began to growl in protest. She frowned as she looked around her room. It was a very elegant room. There weren't many things in the room, but it gave people a simple and generous feeling.

Rubbing her stomach, she got up and put on her clothes and shoes. She used her hands to smooth out her messy hair, then walked out.

The moment he stepped out of the door, he saw Xiang Nan drooling on the railing in front of the door. He raised his eyebrows in amusement and kicked his leg. "Xiang Nan, wake up …"

He moved his mouth towards the south, his body also moving to the side, avoiding the obstacles that disturbed his sleep.

Shen Zhi Qiao's mouth twitched, but he did not call out to him. Instead, he sat on the other side of the wooden pillar behind him, staring at the scene in the courtyard.

Compared to this morning, it was like the difference between heaven and earth. Other than the strange ancient tree, the rest of the place was completely new. There were a few potted plants on both sides of the path, and the flowers inside the potted plants were purple all the way to the door of her room.

On one side of the path, there was a purple wooden table on the other side of the azure tree. The purple wooden table was surrounded by a flower rack, and the flower rack was shaped like a cone, and the top of the head was also covered with flowers.

Shen Zhi Qiao's eyes lit up. He couldn't help but stand up and walk over.

After entering, he found that the interior of the flower racks was wrapped in a layer of red gauze, and the furnishings inside were very complete. There was a bed, a table, a stove, a desk, and even a bookshelf.

Standing inside, he felt like he was camping outside.

The fire in the furnace was very bright, and it covered the entire greenhouse with warmth. She couldn't help but worry if the temperature would burn the flowers on the flower racks.

He smiled and sat on the soft couch in the greenhouse, looking up at the ceiling. Suddenly, he felt like he had yet to wake up.

As her thoughts drifted away, she remembered that at this time yesterday, she was still in the Dragon's Nest Palace …

Ye Zichen frowned. They clearly … But this morning, he threw her out of the Dragon's Nest.

Sighing, Tuoba Yu … Just what kind of person was he?!

The first time he met him in the hunting ground, he was cold and fierce. Although he was facing a great enemy, he was still domineering and extremely handsome.

Afterwards, he was charming, he was flamboyant, he was presumptuous, he was arrogant, his temper was unpredictable, he often bullied her …

However, he seemed to be very good to her. In order to save her, he ignored his esteemed status and personally jumped into the ice lake. He flew into a rage and broke the hands of Imperial Concubine Hua's servant girl. In order to take revenge for her, he didn't hesitate to set up a trap for her birthday …

She knew about this. He should be doing this for her …

She did not dare to ask why he was doing this.

She clearly felt her heart changing bit by bit. Maybe, maybe this time he was going to send her out of the Dragon's Nest Palace was good, they could avoid seeing each other every day, they could avoid meeting each other every night, this way, her heart could recover bit by bit, that way, that would be good …

Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath.

After a while, she opened her eyes and looked out through the flower rack entrance.

At one glance, her body trembled and she almost fell off the soft couch.

From her position, she could see that it was the tree opposite her, and a woman in white was walking step by step towards it. Honestly speaking, it was just evening, but she felt that it couldn't be that kind of thing.

Her horrified gaze landed on the azure tree. She really hated her sight. She saw that the white silk on the azure tree was still hanging on it. The woman slowly lifted a large rock and stood on it. She slowly extended her hand to support the white silk …

Shen Zhiqiao was shocked. He thought that she was going to commit suicide and immediately jumped down from the bed and ran outside quickly.

However, something strange happened. The moment she ran out of the flower room, the woman miraculously disappeared, leaving only the white silk floating faintly on the tree.

His heart cooled down inch by inch.

Shen Zhi Qiao swallowed his saliva and blinked his eyes, but he still didn't say anything.

Could it be that she was seeing things?!

He opened his eyes wide for a second and turned to look at the room, only to discover that the door was open. He was shocked and immediately stood up to look around.

When he saw Shen Zhiqiao standing in the courtyard, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to her.

She did not react even when he walked up to her. Instead, she stared straight ahead, her eyes filled with shock and bewilderment.

Confused, she asked, "Miss, what are you looking at?!"

The voice heading towards the south was somewhat shrill, but it was also deliberately suppressed. As it traveled through the silent air, it was especially terrifying.

Shen Zhi Qiao broke out in a cold sweat. He turned his head and looked at Ye Xiu with fear in his eyes.

"Young lady, what, what, what happened?"

This place was already chilly to begin with, so could you not be so flustered?

He looked around, and when he saw the white silk hanging from the tree that he didn't want to see, his legs began to weaken.

"South, when did you wake up?" Shen Zhiqiao said and moved closer to him. "Did you see anyone?"

The corners of his mouth twitched towards the south. "Wha, who's there?"

"It, it's a woman wearing white. She just, she was just about to commit suicide …" "Right, it's right there …" Shen Zhi Qiao pointed at the location of the azure tree. Just as he extended his finger, a gust of cold wind blew past him, blowing the white silk into the air.

Shen Zhi Qiao and Nanhua looked at each other for a second. Without saying anything, they walked towards their rooms and quickly closed the door.

With their backs against the door, the two of them breathed heavily.

After calming down for a moment, Shen Zhi Qiao looked towards the south and asked, "South, tell me the truth, what kind of place is this?!"

He looked to the south and said, "Miss, this is the Soul Orchid Hall."

He really didn't want to mention the Hall of Soul and Orchid. As soon as he mentioned it, he couldn't help but recall the stories related to the Divine Orchid Hall that had been passed down in the palace.

I know this is the Soul Orchid Palace. I'm asking why nobody lives here and why we were empty for so long. What's the reason?" As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "Yes, no, yes ….
