On the forth day the gate of capital city opened all the refugees get up from ground as they saw lot of soldiers coming out of the capital city the group of soldiers were lead by a man on horse he has tan face with muscular body.
"everyone on the order of the emperor we are here to take you all to the old palace not only you will get food to eat but best imperial doctor will take care of you all till the problem of flood is solved" all the refugees cherrs in joy now they don't have to worry about dying of starvation. "
"everyone please gather your things we will start moving in half hour" all those refugees start packing whatever remaining things they have since they had fled long time away lot of people has died due to illnes, dehydration and lack of food some kids were even sold for just mouthful of food.
soon all the solider start shouting that it's time to go they all form a line and start entering the city luckily they don't need household registration or else they has no chance to enter the city but while entering they has to give there name to the solider before entering the city.

"xiou hua" it's the common name so she is not worried if someone find anything suspicious after the solider has write her name he give her token and told her to not lost it she walk forward and the solider on the other side of the gate ask for the token after checking the token.
she follow his instructions and follow the line which is going toward the capital city currently the whole city is silent rather then the refugees and soldiers no one is out probably they are worried to catch any illness from them once that happens death will be the only stop and no one want that this is the main reason why the emperor didn't let these people enter.
it took them walk on feets for an hour before they reach the old palace although it has been eight years since the fall of old emperor the palace is still luxurious and beautiful as it used to be with no damage to it all those refugees were farmers and small merchant they had never seen the palace much less staying here.
but other has mixed emotion for some it was their home and for some it was the place which they used to worship but now it has become place for refugees yefeng can see jie clinch her hand into fist in anger she thought for a sec before reaching out to hold her hand.
this make jie to look at her she give her small smile which yefeng return with much more wide and bright one this makeher feel more relax and calm she look at the palace when the leader of guards said that it's time to enter the palace everyone slowly enter it.
it was beautiful every single corner of the palace shout beauty she has never seen the palace so she was very excited to roam around the palace but right now this is not right time to do so silently walk inside while looking around she was just another child looking around the palace which she never has seen in her life.
everyone around her were in same position like her they has never enter something this beautiful the palace is only old it still has the glamour and beauty that it used to have but the garden those beautiful flower has become wither since no one is here to take care of them but the river which the old emperor specially made for his empress is still there.
they were arranged to live in the servant cotter of the palace which is suitable for the refugees like them the leader of guards told them to not move out from the cotter only in evening they can get out for two hour before going back this is to prevent everyone to go around the palace.
refugees didn't create any fuss over it infact they were enjoying living in palace after all this is something worth boasting among their relatives and family after everyone settle down the guards told them that they will get there food after an hour everyone were overjoyed.
but those people don't know that this joy is for brief moment once it get known that they has catch any strange illness they will be killed here without any knowlegde and the emperor is quite intelligent to arrange them in servant cotter even if fire catch here the palace will remain unharmed from the fire unless there's strong wind to provoke the fire.
