The crabapple tree is fragrant in the tent, and the bright moon is in my arms

This sentence paused in Yan Yang's mind. After a long time, he finally reacted and grabbed Ning Ruxin's shoulders.

But she dodged away.

Ning Ruxin was standing in front of him, with traces of last night still on her body, but her expression was extremely cold.

She looked at him as if he were a stranger, and there was even some impatience in her eyes.

"Yan Yang, I am the concubine and you are the guard. We are destined not to be on the same path."

Yan Yang looked at her face carefully. Her eyes were red, but there was not a single tear.

He clenched his hands, the corners of his mouth curved in self-mockery: "It's not the same road, why didn't you say it last night, why didn't you say it before."

The voice became increasingly hoarse, with gnashing anger: "I lost my job! That's what you said?"

"Why, I was able to help you before, but now that I can't help you anymore, you can't wait to dump me?"

"We are not children anymore. We have to face reality. If I, as your consort, continue to get entangled with you, neither of us will have a good ending."

Ning Ruxin looked at him with a hint of pleading in her eyes: "I want to climb up, you can't be my handle, just treat it as helping me for the last time and forget about me, okay?"

This time, there was mist in her eyes and the corners of her eyes were moist.

She used her tears as a weapon to force him back.

Yan Yang's heart ached and his breathing became rapid. He couldn't wait to ask a question.

"You, have fallen in love with His Majesty."

Ning Ruxin's tears fell, and she wiped them away with a smile: "How could it be, I told you, I have always loved you."

However, her eyelashes kept fluttering and her eyes were looking elsewhere.

No need to ask anymore.

Yan Yang lost all his strength. He put on his clothes and turned his back to Ning Ruxin: "I smell the scent of passion."

Ning Ruxin looked at his back and said, "This is the last time. It's a good memory."

Yan Yang sneered, and instead of going through the window, he pushed open the door and walked out of her bedroom with dignity.

Ning Ruxin did not stop her, and the tears on her face completely disappeared.

Lan'er was startled and came in quickly to open the window to dissipate the smell.

Ning Ruxin lay down, looked at the carvings on the ceiling of the bed, and clenched her hands.

Yan Yang had never felt so embarrassed before. The distance to the backyard was only a dozen meters, but he walked with staggering steps. Men don't shed tears easily.

His tears kept flowing.

Crying for the dead Ning Ruxin in his heart.

For his childhood sweetheart's love, all he got in return was a sentence that he couldn't use it against her.

For her till the end, he was still deceiving him!

Yan Yang stopped at the foot of the wall, holding tightly the jade pendant that Ning Ruxin had given him before entering the palace.

Half for each, love remains unchanged.

The pain in my palms is nothing compared to the pain in my heart.

He pulled it off fiercely and threw it on the ground.

A voice came from behind: "You, who are you?"

Yan Yang turned around and saw a pretty face. He quickly raised his hand, knocked her out, and climbed over the wall to leave.

Pei'er fell to the ground, with the half of the jade pendant he had dropped next to her.

The bright daylight passed in a flash, and the servants who were sweeping the palace paths were so cold that their backs were hunched over. Those who were pruning flower branches in the imperial garden had even harder work. The branches were wet, and it became even colder when they placed their fingers on them.

A gust of wind blew by, and people's nose tips turned red. It seemed as if God did it on purpose. Without any warning, tears began to fall.

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Huang Quan presented the dinner: "Your Majesty, it's time to eat."

Zhu Dingyuan looked at the rain outside and the dark sky, frowning, "No news from Chuntang Palace yet?"

Huang Quan shook his head: "Xiao Xiazi is still guarding it."

"Didn't the imperial physician say it was nothing serious?" Zhu Dingyuan couldn't eat at all and stood up: "Go ask the imperial physician what's going on!"

Huang Quan quickly said, "Your Majesty, calm down. I will go right away."

As soon as he turned around, Xiao Xiazi came in from outside. His clothes were soaked and his hair was still dripping. He knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty! I have been waiting until now, but Concubine Zhao has closed the palace door and no one has come out. I really have no way to see you!"

"Close the palace door?" Zhu Dingyuan was stunned: "When?"

"Just an hour ago! I waited and waited until it was dark, and now I come to ask your Majesty for advice! Lady Zhao knows that I am your Majesty's servant, but she behaves like this. She simply doesn't take your Majesty seriously!"

Huang Quan slapped Xiao Xiazi fiercely and said, "Shut up! Do you think you can say anything about Concubine Zhao? You are such a lifeless dog slave."

Zhu Dingyuan's eyes darkened as he sat back on the couch: "She woke up an hour ago, but suddenly closed the palace door and ignored you... which means she ignored me..."

"What did you say at the door?"

Xiao Xiazi covered his face and said, "The servants were guarding the door, so naturally we didn't dare to say anything. Only a few eunuchs mentioned that Your Majesty went to Concubine Gao's place last night, and that Concubine Qi returned to the palace." His eyes lit up, "It happened that the maidservant beside the noble man passed by at that time!"

Huang Quan bent over: "Your Majesty..."

"So Yue'er can't see me..." Zhu Dingyuan didn't understand.

Xiao Xiazi lowered his head and said, "Your Excellency may have a grudge against Concubine Gao because of the birthday banquet. Your Majesty went to Yanxi Palace last night. I'm afraid he is not feeling well."

Zhu Dingyuan understood: "Quick! Prepare your carriage! I want to see Yue'er!"

Huang Quan quickly went to get his cloak and followed the man's steps: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please slow down! It's raining!"

He glared at Xiao Xiazi again: "Come on, hurry up!"

Chuntang Palace.

Zhaoyue drank the "special medicine" prescribed by Su Ziyun in one gulp.

This medicine can keep her from being poisoned for a few days.

After all, she had taken the Detoxification Pills and recovered so quickly.

You can't add sugar to this medicine, it's so bitter that it makes her dizzy.

Just when she was about to frown and stick out her tongue and cry out that the fruit was bitter, He Quan quickly put the sweet fruit into her mouth.

Zhao Yue chewed it, and the sweetness quickly overwhelmed the bitterness. She nodded to He Quan with satisfaction, indicating that he had done a good job.

He Quan chuckled as he opened the window and took down the tulle curtain to block the heavy rain from splashing in: "Xiao Xiazi has returned to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and Zhu Dingyuan is on the way."

"He was waiting in agony today, and he didn't dare to see you because of guilt, but in the end he couldn't resist the pain of missing you."

Zhao Yue understood his strange tone and threw the fruit to him: "Can I see him when he comes? How can it be so easy?"

She held out her hand: "Are you angry?"

He Quan put on a good face and hugged her in his arms: "He can't see you, but the servant can hug you and kiss you. He should be angry."

"childish."

Zhao Yue tapped his nose, stared at his pretty little mole, smiled, and said with a very bad intention: "Please ask someone to come in and make the bed. Make sure to lay out the white fox blanket that His Majesty gave me neatly..."

"As ordered."

He Quan stood up and said to Tao Xi who was leading several maids outside the door: "Young Master, there are too few people serving here."

He glanced at them calmly and said, "It's you. Look after Lingli and stay with the young master from now on."

The selected maid knelt down hurriedly and said, "I, Xiaonian, will serve you wholeheartedly!"

Tao Xi patted her shoulder and said, "Our young master is the kindest among the six palaces, don't be afraid."

He Quan motioned her to get up: "Go in, be quick and gentle, don't scare the young lady."

"Yes."
