As soon as she opened her eyes, she was forcibly carried back to the East Palace by the paranoid pri

"Meow meow meow!"

In the courtyard of the Mushui Palace, Xiao Liu was crying restlessly and whirling around in circles. Xiao Taozi, who had just returned from outside the palace, bent down and held it in her arms, gently stroking its back, her voice gentle and warm, "Master cat, please don't cry. The queen is still asleep. I will find you a new maid to take care of you. The previous one was not good."

She placed her hand on the back of Xiaoliu's neck and said, "Be good, Master Cat. Don't make a fuss. Otherwise, if you disturb the peace, His Majesty will not let you go."

The cat didn't understand, but perhaps it was its animal instinct, it was unusually obedient, with its tail drooping listlessly.

In the bedroom of Mushui Palace, the maid on duty closed the stained glass window in confusion. She had clearly closed the windows last night. Could it be that the wind was too strong last night?

The palace maid looked back at the tightly drawn curtains and retreated quietly, not daring to make any sound. In her opinion, the Queen was like a precious glass piece held in the palm of His Majesty's hand. They had to put a hundred times more energy in looking after her all the time, otherwise, the Queen would die if they were not careful.

After another hour, the sky was already bright, and this luxurious and majestic palace was shrouded in light, with a faint sense of life.

He Yue had just "woken up" at this time. Xiao Taozi led a group of palace maids to help He Yue wash. She knelt on the ground respectfully and tidied the queen's clothes.

Xiao Taozi said softly, seemingly complaining, "I don't know where Mo'er has gone. It's already so late, and she hasn't come to work yet."

He Yue sat on a pear wood chair and looked down at Xiao Taozi's pretentious behavior. It was not the first time she discovered that Xiao Taozi's acting skills were surprisingly good, almost to the point of being natural. Her every move, including the frown on her eyebrows, was extremely natural, as if nothing had happened.

Damn it! She still has to act along, how aggrieved! She dropped her hands to the side of Xiao Taozi's face, and used her hands to turn Xiao Taozi's face toward the door. Her voice was indifferent and calm, "I guess something has happened. Go look for it, look carefully. If it's not in Mushui Palace, then look for it in the entire Ruihe Villa. I'm waiting for you."

I don't want to see Xiao Taozi for the time being. She has been feeling restless these past few days and can't spare much energy to join in a big drama.

Xiao Taozi's body froze for a moment. Ruihe Villa was so huge, with innumerable palaces and pavilions. The Queen Mother asked her to look for them, so she had to search each palace one by one!

The queen's cold fingers brushed across her cheek. She didn't dare look back at the queen, and could only keep looking at the door. She heard the queen's melancholy voice, "You are the most careful person around me. I wouldn't trust anyone else."

Yes, Lu Ma is gone, Xiao Lizi is dead, Li Momo has also left the palace, and now even the most favored Moer has drowned at the bottom of the well. She is the only one that the Queen Mother can use the most. Xiao Taozi can't help but feel ecstatic in her heart that there are no more annoying people!

"Thank you very much, Queen, for your trust!"

He Yue let go of her hand. Even though she was weak and thin, her elegant and graceful appearance remained the same. She opened her mouth and said, "Go."

So Xiao Taozi pretended to run around in Ruiheyuan all day long. She was exhausted physically but her heart was trembling with excitement.

In the warm room at night, He Yue's slender waist was embraced by a pair of hands. She nestled in Ning Rushong's arms. She was not wearing embroidered shoes, and her feet in silk stockings were covered tightly by the brocade blanket. She held an embroidery pattern book in her hand, but did not turn a page for a long time.

Ning Rushong held her waist, slowing down his force, and then slowing down again. He lowered his head and kissed her cheek. His long eyelashes hid the chaotic emotions in his eyes, leaving only tenderness towards his wife. This kiss did not contain the slightest lust. Yueyue's body was already weak, and she could not withstand the tossing and turning on the couch. He was reluctant to let her go.

The lights were warm, and a thought came to his mind. It seemed that if he could just do nothing and hold Yueyue in his arms all the time, it would be a desirable scene.

The new emperor, who made all the civil and military officials in the court tremble in fear, was so cruel and cold-blooded, but he was warm and tender in front of the queen. Love is a piercing steel knife, and Ning Rushong was just a mortal in front of this steel knife and could be easily stabbed all over.

"I can't rest with Yueyue tonight. The new year has just begun and there are too many things to do in the court. Tomorrow's morning court must be held as usual. I have to set off tonight." Ning Rushong sighed, and a rare look of reluctance appeared on his elegant and cold face.

He Yue took out a brocade handkerchief from the brocade box on the table, her eyes tired but gentle, "This afternoon, I was still in good spirits, so I embroidered a handkerchief. Your Majesty, take it away."

In fact, there are several embroidered ones, but this one is so ugly and weird. It is clearly a dragon pattern, but it looks like a fat worm crawling around.

Ning Rusong put the handkerchief in his sleeve with care and said several good words in a row, "Okay, okay."

…………

Ning Rushong didn't want to leave He Yue, but he left anyway. Weighing the pros and cons is a consideration that is ingrained in an emperor's bones.

Xiao Taozi returned to the Mushui Palace just as it was about to be locked. She knelt down in front of He Yue, crying bitterly, as if her heart was broken. "Empress! I mobilized a large number of palace servants to look for Mo'er, and finally found Mo'er's body in a well!"

The corpse was thrown down by Moer after she found someone of similar size. She pretended that the body had been hit by a rock and had its face broken. The face was unrecognizable and the body was swollen with water. Xiao Taozi almost felt sick when she saw it.

Little Taozi was crying so hard that she was inconsolable. The palace maids all knelt down and cried with their faces covered, knowing that the Queen Mother favored Moer the most.

"Aunt Mo'er, such a good person."

"Hey, how could this happen?!"

The stained glass window was still open at this time. He Yue looked outside, wondering why it had not rained yet.

The palace maids in the Mu Shui Palace were weeping incessantly, and it seemed as if even the air had become a little moist.

It was fitting that a hypocritical rain of tears was falling inside the palace and that a heavy downpour should also be taking place outside.
