It was night.
Close to the end of the year, the wind and snow in the palace grew stronger tonight, making the palace attendants unable to resist slacking off, and even the patrolling guards were less vigilant than usual.
A slender figure carried a palace lantern and quietly stepped into the towering Stone Palace standing in the wind and snow.
The underground dark river in the Stone Palace had not frozen; palace attendants rarely came here, so they hadn't noticed that the dark river was more than ten feet wider than three years ago, enough to allow a small boat to pass through.
At this moment, a small boat was docked by the dark river.
The young woman boarded the boat with the lantern, slowly removing her hood, revealing a face like a hibiscus flower in the dim firelight.
She said, "Let's go."
Yu Feng obeyed and quietly rowed the boat away.
Half an hour later, Shen Yinning appeared at the Seven Treasures Pavilion without anyone noticing.
