After he swallowed dryly and finished eating, he carefully took out a dirty and old book from his chest.

This is the book that his mother and concubine kept in the palace during his lifetime. After the defeat, those servants didn't need it, and they didn't look down on it, so the book was kept.

He didn't have a teacher, only the nanny taught him, but she didn't know much, and she only barely taught him how to read.

When he moved into the cold palace, he only brought a few books with him in a hurry. These days, apart from digging up tree roots for storage, he spends other time flipping through these books.

Ming Yi picked off a leaf and wiped the mud on his hands, then carefully opened the first page.

Suddenly, his eyes moved and his eyes fixed on the wall.

Subtle footsteps came.

"Miss?"

With a blank expression on his face, he lowered his head and returned his attention to the book.

Father's concubine...

He thought of his concubine.

Mingyi's fingers holding the paper clenched tightly.

Then he let go again, and his eyes returned to calm.

It's the first time here.

Stopped at the hole in the wall, did they want to let snakes in like those people?

He was disgusted.

Ming Yi narrowed his eyes and fluttered his eyelashes.

But, you can eat it.

"nothing."

A soft voice came from outside the wall, as sweet as a piece of sugar shortbread that his nanny secretly hid for him when he was a child.

Ming Yi felt palpitations inexplicably, his eyes widened and his eyelashes trembled, his dark eyes stared at the wall.

He likes the sound.

He wants to hear more.

The next second, a soft voice sounded: "Let's go."

Ming Yi stared blankly at the hole in the wall, there were no snakes or insects crawling in there, only a delicate pink flower, as delicate as that voice.

He didn't know what kind of flower it was.

His heart was beating fast.

Footsteps leave.

Ming Yi was inexplicably disappointed.

He stretched out his hand slowly, then suddenly withdrew it back suddenly, then put the book aside, got up and ran out in big strides.

After washing his hands in a small muddy puddle, the dirt came off, revealing his skinny little hands, he shook them in satisfaction.

He can't wash his body, and he needs to drink clean water, which can't be used to wash clothes.

Back to the hole in the wall, he cautiously stretched out his hand and squeezed the flower in.

His heart was pounding with tension.

A complete delicate flower appeared in front of his eyes, Ming Yi's pupils dilated slightly, and his fingers trembled.

……

Wen Qi who returned to the bedroom was a little bored.

She was going to bring Ming Yi out of the cold palace.

But Ming Xuanyi probably wouldn't agree, he personally made an order to throw Ming Yi into the cold palace, if she wanted to bring him out, it would be tantamount to making him withdraw his order.

She needs time.

Wen Qi pursed her lips, her eyes slightly dazed.

Immediately, she shook her head to get rid of her thoughts.

Bending his eyes, he reached out and took a small bite of the soft plum cake on the plate. The rich aroma of plum blossom spread in his mouth, and Wen Qi took another bite in satisfaction.

-

Two days went by without any saltiness, during these two days Wen Qi put food in front of the hole in the wall several times, guessing that Ming Yi would not be hungry.

Ming Xuanyi didn't come here even once, and Jin Yan said that he was resting in Concubine Li's Palace.

Wen Qi didn't care too much, biting the freshly made pastry in the kitchen.

Suddenly, I felt something was in my mouth.

Wen Qi blinked and said softly, "You go out first."

Jin Yan withdrew.

Wen Qi stretched out his hands and squeezed out what was in his mouth. It was a miniature porcelain bottle, no more than the height of his index finger, and the thin mouth of the bottle was blocked by a wooden cork.

Frowning, she threw the bottle into the tea and washed it, then took it out and wiped it clean with a handkerchief.

With bright eyes, Wen Qiliang pulled out the plug, and inside was a rolled up note.

She read the note carefully.

It was a note from her father who was far away in the frontier. It seemed that she had written it and delivered it when she returned home on the third day, but it was only delivered to her on the tenth day.
