The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!

Wei Shi could not see the mockery in King Ning's eyes.

Several days of torture had blurred his vision, and he used his fingernail-less hands to take out an old handkerchief from his bosom.

Because it is kept close to the body, the handkerchief is now stained with blood.

There were no windows in the prison, only a small firefly light on the wall. Wei Shi raised his handkerchief towards the light.

As if trying to see something through it.

After a while, he murmured:

"In this life, this is the only thought that the young lady left me!"

"Everything she had was destroyed by the emperor, by you, and by this filthy palace! There is not even a trace left..."

"How can I not hate this?!"

Because of the severe pain, Wei Shi's fingers had already become weak and he couldn't grab anything at all.

The handkerchief fell and landed on the dirty ground.

Prince Ning bent down and picked up the handkerchief without caring about the blood stains on it.

The originally pure white silk handkerchief had lost its smooth texture and had become wrinkled. Only from the few green lotus flowers embroidered on it could one tell that it was made by a young girl.

He asked in a deep voice: "Where did you get this handkerchief?"

When he asked, Wei Shi's eyes suddenly became a little blurred.

He seemed to have returned to that afternoon, when the sun was shining under the eaves and the eldest lady was getting ready to go out. She was sitting on the flower bench under the porch, waiting for her sister with a smile on her face.

As he was passing by with sundries in his arms, the eldest lady called him.

He bent down, picked up the thing that fell from his arms and handed it to him, saying with some regret that since he could read, there was no need to stay at home and do odd jobs, he might as well go to work in his uncle's shop.

As she spoke, she covered her face with a handkerchief and smiled, her eyebrows and eyes curved like the warm sunshine.

He remembered that he refused because he wanted to stay in this yard and be as close to her as possible.

He would never dare to have such extravagant hopes. With his status, no matter what he did, he would never be worthy of her. So he might as well stay with her as a slave for the rest of his life.

When he came to his senses, the eldest lady had already left the house with her younger sister.

The handkerchief that fell beside the door was the one she had just used to cover her face and smile.

From then on, the handkerchief was kept firmly close to his chest.

King Ning lowered his eyes and listened quietly to what Wei Shi had to say.

That was the young man’s most beautiful memory. That short moment in the afternoon supported him in traveling thousands of miles to the capital, supported him in guarding her alone in the capital, and supported his blind and contradictory belief in revenge.

King Ning returned the handkerchief to Wei Shi.

Then turned and left.

"Prince... I... I'm sorry." There was a hint of tears in Wei Shi's voice.

Because of his obsession, he betrayed the only child left by his beloved woman.

But he had no choice. All these years after she left, he was supported by the belief in revenge.

"You are the one who is sorry for yourself." Prince Ning paused for a moment, without turning his head, "That is not my mother's handkerchief."

Wei Shi was stunned.

Prince Ning turned around and said, "After leaving the palace and setting up my own residence, my aunt would send me a robe that she had sewn herself on every birthday. If you look closely, you will know that the stitching on this handkerchief is exactly the same as my aunt's."

The wooden door in the prison creaked, followed by the sound of an iron chain locking the door.

Prince Ning's back disappeared at the end of the passage.

Wei Shi remained where he was, stunned.

The handkerchief slipped from his palm and this time fell completely to the ground.

……

After returning home, Prince Ning was in a very bad mood.

He respected and hated Wei Shi, but now he felt even more pity for him.

Mu Qianyin has already gone to bed. Even though she was just cooperating in the fake show on the third day of the baby's birth, it was very tiring. She was weak after giving birth and had been feeling listless for the past few days.

Prince Ning went to the wet nurse to take a look at Liang Ge'er. In the past few days, he had been sleeping after eating, and now he was sleeping soundly.

Perhaps it was because of the candlelight, King Ning frowned: "Why does he look more and more yellow?"

The nurse hurriedly said, "This is what happens to newborn babies. Just let them get some sun during the day. Your Majesty, don't worry."

Seeing that their expressions did not seem fake, King Ning felt a little relieved.

But when he returned to his own yard, he still ordered someone to invite Shu Qing the next morning.

Although it was late at night, King Ning was not sleepy at all.

He placed some wine in the yard and drank by himself.

Suddenly, there was another person beside him: "Your Highness, why are you drinking alone?"

Mu Lu came up with a grin on his face. These days, the emperor's men were keeping a close eye on him, so Mu Rong was unable to enter or leave Prince Ning's mansion, so Mu Lu was left to stay here and cooperate with Prince Ning.

At first he was well-behaved, but after getting familiar with the situation, he returned to his carefree nature.

Prince Ning squinted at him and said, "Your master didn't tell you that you would be so presumptuous in this palace."

"Of course I wouldn't dare to do that on normal days, but today the blue and white wine from Fanlou is so tempting that I couldn't help myself." Mu Lu came over with a smile, "It's not fun to drink alone, why don't I drink with you, Your Majesty?"

Prince Ning looked at him, thoughtfully.

After a moment, he put down the wine cup and said, "Pour the wine."

"Okay, okay!" Mu Lu was as attentive as a waiter in a tavern.

After a few drinks, he licked his lips with satisfaction: "It's better here, Your Majesty. When I was working in the Marquis' Mansion, the Marquis did not allow his subordinates to drink."

Prince Ning sneered: "So you came here to satisfy your drinking addiction?"

"How dare I...how dare I...Aren't I here to accompany the prince?" After saying that, Mu Lu poured himself another glass.

King Ning did not say anything. He gently turned the wine glass with his fingers and let Mu Lu drink one cup after another.

"Why doesn't Your Majesty drink?" Mu Lu was slightly tipsy.

"I am thinking about a question."

"What's the matter? See if I know anything?"

"Is Imperial Doctor Chen the Marquis's man?" Prince Ning looked at Mu Lu.

"Yes... yes..." If it weren't for the proper cooperation between Doctor Chen and Mr. Shu, how could the third day of the bath be hidden from Eunuch Yao?

"Then, did your Lordship plant this person in the office a long time ago?" King Ning narrowed his eyes.

"Yeah." Mu Lu nodded.

The Imperial Medical Bureau treats His Majesty and members of the royal family, and if they are not careful, they may overthrow the government.

Therefore, this has always been the most strictly inspected place in the palace. Every three months, the emperor's guards and the imperial guards would jointly investigate the background of each imperial physician. If anything wrong was found, they would be immediately kicked out of the Imperial Hospital.

Only imperial physicians who have passed at least six examinations are qualified to diagnose the emperor and royal family members in close proximity.

The situation in the palace was complicated, and it was common for people with ulterior motives to place people in the Imperial Medical Bureau, but they were usually placed in the departments of surgery and pharmacology.

Doctor Chen specializes in gynecology. Why did Mu Rong place this person in the hospital?

Could it be... just for today? !

King Ning had planned this matter a year and a half in advance. He didn't believe that this was an unintentional act by Mu Rong, so why did he do that?

He looked at Mu Lu: "Why would the Marquis place someone in the gynecology department?"

Mu Lu paused. This blue and white wine...is not fragrant anymore.
