Zhao Yin walks silently forward .

Ah Zhao follows behind . After a few steps, Zhao Yin stops, looks at her and says: “My Princess, now that you've decided to share both the honor and the disgrace with me, don't regret it afterwards . ”

Ah Zhao snorts lightly: “Let's wait and see . ”

The two of them are seen to Palace of Happiness by heavily armed imperial guards .

When they arrive at Palace of Happiness, it is already dark, only a bit of gloomy shadow of the sun lingers by the end of the sky .

The imperial guard lights the torches and stands by the door without any intention to go inside .

“Please go in by yourselves . ”

Advertis.e.m.e.ntZhao Yin raises his eyes and glances at him, then he lifts his legs and gets inside .

Ah Zhao follows him in silence .

With a crack, the door mottled with blocks of falling paints closes behind them .

It's dark inside the cold palace . No one lived in Palace of Happiness before and naturally n.o.body will light the candles in the night .

Thank G.o.d that Zhao Yin has a torch in his hand, which saves them from being completely blind .

Even so, the visibility from the torch is very limited . The cold palace is all tattered and worn out . The light of the torch s.h.i.+nes on something a bit far away from them, and the things that looms there are quite scary .

Ah Zhao feels very nervous .

She does not know whether the previous Qin Zhao is afraid of the dark or the ghost, but she is .

Zhao Yin, who's walking in front of her, is not talking to her . She could only speak to Cotton candy to cheer herself up, which works as a distraction and makes her less scared .

However, the result of a distraction is that she stumps on something hard and round, and she slips forward immediately .

“Ah!” Ah Zhao screams and she is totally thrown toward the ground . A hand catches her firmly just in time .

“Watch your steps . What are you screaming for?” Zhao Yin frowns in disdain .

Ah Zhao is about to thank him, but after hearing that, her mouth twitches and she keeps her mouth shut .

Zhao Yin keeps walking forward . After a few steps, he suddenly stops and reaches out his hands: “Grab my sleeve . ”

Ah Zhao is dumbfounded .

Zhao Yin says impatiently: “Come on, it's very late . Or do you wish to stand in this open yard for the night, my Princess?”

Ah Zhao says: “Can you speak nicely for at least once?”

He is clearly a tender soul . How come what he says always gets people mad?

If it was Qin Zhao, she would have talked back directly . But at the moment, Ah Zhao feels quite insecure and just wants to leave and find somewhere to rest .

So she follows her heart and grabs Zhao Yin's sleeve quietly .

Zhao Yin does not notice that she's not like her usual self . After all, anyone who goes through such a sudden and unforeseen event wouldn't be able to adapt .

Luckily, all the palaces are similar in structure and Zhao Yin finds the sleeping chamber in a short amount of time .

However, the sleeping chamber which Ah Zhao looks forwards to is a mess wherever the torch light goes . On the ground, there are broken pieces of ceramics, rotten fabrics and unknown liquid everywhere . And the place that could pa.s.s as a bed is also dirty and messy .

Zhao Yin is silent for a moment .

Born a n.o.ble and growing up in luxury, it is already very hard for him to keep calm till now considering the horrible incident he went through today .

However, reality always finds a way to go beyond one's bottom lines . Looking at all this, which he has never imagined for the past 21 years of his life, he is struck dumb .

His mind goes blank and he does not know what to do .

Ah Zhao is also dumbfounded .

But since she knows that she's in a mission, she's better at accepting the reality .

With a sigh, Ah Zhao imitates Qin Zhao and snorts: “What are you standing there for? Do you actually want to stand in this chamber for the night?”

She throws back what Zhao Yin said earlier right back at him .
