Bab 206: 205 Cold Palace Abandoned Concubine (3) First Watch of the Night

The Cold Palace was nestled in the most remote corner of the Imperial Palace, seldom visited by anyone.

Even Yuwen Jing felt a chill at the bottom of his heart when he thought of his childhood there, and his body instinctively resisted the place.

He came today for two reasons: firstly, to see for himself what Ye Shaohua really looked like. He had imagined she would be withered and close to death, but to his surprise, although her complexion wasn't great, she was leisurely reading a book and drinking tea, an image of utter relaxation.

An executioner with exceptional martial arts skills was exactly what Yuwen Jing needed the most.
