"Mother, what are we doing in this cold palace?" Shun Yuan tugged at Ming Ruo's hand, looked up at her, his little face full of confusion, but he still obediently stayed with Ming Ruo.
Mingruo, of course, wouldn't tell him the reason, but forced a smile: "Mother just wanted to come and see. This palace is so big, and Mother hasn't been able to see it all yet."
"There's nothing fun here!" Shun Yuan scratched his head. "How about I take you out to play, Mother? I know there are lots of fun places in the palace!"
Seeing his boundless energy, Mingruo felt relieved. Shunyuan wasn't like her, which was good. He was always able to have fun anywhere and never seemed to feel out of place. Mingruo smiled slightly, took his little hand, and led him into the Cold Palace with practiced ease.
This was where her mother had lived for nearly thirty years. Mingruo stroked the cabinet, which was covered with a thin layer of dust, her eyes shimmering, but she refused to shed a tear. She only glanced at it a few times before turning to leave with Shunyuan, but as soon as she turned around, she was startled by the man who appeared before her like a ghost. It was none other than Duanmu Yun.
"Who are you?! How dare you trespass into the palace!" Shun Yuan reacted faster than Ming Ruo. He quickly spread his arms and stood in front of Ming Ruo in an extremely protective posture, looking at Duanmu Yun with full vigilance. He blinked his beautiful big eyes, wondering what kind of trick he was thinking.
Duanmu Yun chuckled and bent down. As he approached, Shun Yuan's wariness grew more pronounced. He was prepared to bite hard if this man reached for his mother. But who knew that this man... would actually touch his little face! "...He looks a lot like you." Duanmu Yun's voice was a little hoarse. He smiled slightly at Shun Yuan: "Hey, you don't need to be so wary of me. I won't hurt your mother."
Shun Yuan continued to stare at him, disbelieving.
"Don't even think about calling for help. Although Eunuch An is outside, he will never step into the Cold Palace. This place is considered forbidden territory." Especially after Mingruo became an imperial concubine, no one was allowed to enter or leave the Cold Palace, just to prevent anyone from seeing Consort Huai or leaking information about Mingruo.
"Hmph, my father will be here soon. If you don't want to die, you'd better leave now." Shun Yuan was very domineering despite his young age, and he was not afraid of Duanmu Yun at all.
His dark eyes were slightly unfocused. If they were still husband and wife, perhaps Shun Yuan would be their child.
"Ruo'er... I've come to take you away. Are you willing?"
Mingruo glanced at him expressionlessly, then shielded Shunyuan with both hands, pulling the struggling boy behind her. Seeing her actions, Duanmu Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Ruo'er, you know I wouldn't hurt him. He's your child, your blood flows in his veins, how could I harm him?"
Mingruo didn't answer, but after a while she said softly, "You can go now, I'm fine."
Duanmu Yun shook his head: "If you were so kind, why would you be here at this time? Ruo'er, come with me, let's live like before, okay? Didn't you say you wanted to live a carefree life, farming and growing flowers? Let's leave this place, what do you say?"
It was indeed a tempting suggestion, but Mingruo had already given up on it: "Don't talk nonsense. My son is still here. Don't ruin my reputation. Besides... I don't want that kind of life anymore. There's nothing wrong with being in the palace." She had dreamed countless times of a life of leisure, enjoying wine and straw mats, but as time went on, she realized that such a life was a luxury for her, something she could never have. It was a dream, and just a dream. Without that dream, she still had to live the same life.
"Ruo'er—"
"Stop talking and hurry up and leave, or I'll have to call for help."
Mingruo's face turned cold. She took Shunyuan's hand and tried to leave, but after only a few steps, she felt a numbness throughout her body, an overwhelming weariness washing over her, and she collapsed instantly. Shunyuan cried out in alarm and quickly reached out to catch her, but Duanmu Yun beat him to it. He gritted his teeth and glared at the man before him, who was taller and more powerful than him, vowing repeatedly in his heart to diligently practice martial arts and never let his mother be bullied again. But just as he was about to shout, his mouth opened but no words came out. His eyelids felt incredibly heavy, and all he could see was the man's gentle smile, warm and comforting, like a spring breeze.

When Mingruo opened her eyes, she was somewhat disoriented by what she saw. She sat up, clutching her forehead, only to realize that she wasn't covered by her usual brocade quilt, but by a thick fur blanket. This… wasn't the palace, but a military camp! She flinched, memories from before she fell unconscious flooding back: Duanmu Yun… it was Duanmu Yun! Her small hands clenched into fists. Mingruo didn't know how he had brought her out of the palace, but that didn't matter now. What mattered was, where was her Shunyuan? Where had Duanmu Yun taken her Shunyuan?!
She jumped out of bed abruptly, not even bothering to straighten her clothes, and ran towards the tent entrance. But she had only run a few steps when she collided head-on with a tall figure. Mingruo couldn't withstand such an impact and lay on the ground for a long time, feeling dizzy and seeing stars.
The man stood up and quickly came to help her. Mingruo looked closely and realized it was a woman—a very tall and athletic woman with dozens of small braids, dressed in heavy, patterned clothing, looking like a Wuhuan person. Mingruo took a deep breath. She saw that the woman seemed very excited to see her awake; she even put down the basin of water she was carrying, grasped her hand, and mumbled something incomprehensible. Mingruo couldn't understand it, nor did she want to. She only wanted to see Duanmu Yun, only wanted to ask him: Where was her Shun Yuan?!
Seeing Mingruo's expressionless face, the woman, in her anxiety, even began to gesticulate wildly. Mingruo then realized the woman seemed to be asking if she was hungry. She shook her head, about to speak, but then remembered the woman couldn't understand her, so she stopped, simply sitting back on the bed, her hands resting on her knees, a chill running through her body. What kind of fury would her father unleash upon discovering her absence? And why had Duanmu Yun brought her here? Lost in thought, the tent flap was lifted, and Duanmu Yun entered. Mingruo immediately stood up: "Where's Shunyuan? Where did you take Shunyuan?! And where is this?!"
Duanmu Yun patted her head, signaling the woman to leave, then pressed Mingruo's shoulder to calm her down: "Shunyuan is taking a nap next door. You're weak, Shunyuan woke up a long time ago, but you've been sleeping for three days and three nights."
Three days and three nights... She actually slept for three days and three nights! Mingruo waved away Duanmu Yun's hand: "I want to see Shunyuan."
"I will let you see me. Come, change your clothes first." Duanmu Yun chuckled, and Mingruo noticed that he was holding a set of exquisite clothes in his hands, still in the attire of the Wuhuan. She shook her head: "I won't change."
Duanmu Yun's smile deepened: "Then I'll change it for you again?" The implication was that this wasn't the first time.
Ming Ruo suddenly clutched her clothes, only then noticing that she was wearing Wuhuan clothing: "You, you took off my clothes?!" A strange feeling of humiliation swept over her, she clenched her fists, and pursed her lips tightly.
"We've done what husband and wife have done before, why are you still shy, Ruo'er?" Putting down the clothes in his hand, Duanmu Yun hooked his finger and opened her collar, his smile full of seduction: "Quickly, change your clothes, I'll take you to see Shun Yuan."
