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

Emperor Jingmu was extremely afraid of strangers and hid behind Prince Nan for a while before running away again, followed by several guards.

Ning Rushong did not ask anyone to bring Emperor Jingmu back. Regardless of whether Emperor Jingmu was really crazy or just pretending to be stupid, he would send spies to keep an eye on him until he really died.

When the Southern Prince saw Emperor Jingmu leave, he breathed a sigh of relief and changed the subject to Ning Rusong, "I heard that the eldest son of the Duan family, Duan Zan, is going to serve as an official in the court?"

The Duan family is a prominent family with generations of history. As a member of the He family, the Prince of Nan is of course paying attention to them.

"He asked for a post as a county magistrate in a remote area." Ning Rusong followed the words of the Southern King, his voice cold and lonely, his hands on the table, "But Bai Huixian secretly wanted to keep him in Yuncheng as an official. He wanted to win over Duan Zan to serve in his Ministry of Revenue."

"He was born in a humble family, but he thinks he is noble. At the same time, he wants to use the power of his family to wash away his cowardice." The Southern King raised his eyebrows, and there was sarcasm in his eyes. "The Duan family is not something he can calculate now. It's just that his official career has been too smooth in the past few years."

Duan Zan might be a fool, but the people in the Duan family mansion are so horrible. Tsk!

"I'll just wait and see what happens to him." Ning Rushong said this with a calm tone.

Bai Huixian is a very clichéd smart guy, very useful and not difficult to replace.

The two chatted about court affairs for a while, and Ning Rusong stood up to leave, his inky black robe hanging down, intricate and elegant, "Prince Nan, keep an eye on Emperor Jingmu and Empress Dowager He."

The Southern King bowed his head and saluted, "Yes! Your Majesty!"

From the day Ning Rushong took the throne, the titles of uncle and nephew naturally disappeared between the two.

The King of the South has a good grasp of the balance between the monarch and his subjects.

The snow was thick and the night was deep. Frost formed on the blue bricks. In the Yongding Palace, the incense of Chinese medicine rose from the gilded five-legged incense cauldron. This was what He Yue used to use a year ago.

Ning Rushong was dazed and could only see the soft and slender curve in front of him. His neck lowered and rested on her shoulder. He smelled the bitter fragrance of medicine. A tsunami rose in his heart and swept through his whole body.

Her eyes were like glass soaked in water, making it even more unclear for him to see. He looked up stupidly, trying his best to discern the features of the person in front of him, but he could only glimpse those willow-leaf eyes.

He raised his arm to his heart and pressed his chest with his hand, looking lost. His reserved and cold face seemed so fragile that it could break at the slightest touch.

"What's wrong?" The woman's lips opened and closed, and she rubbed Ning Rushong's forehead with her white fingers.

There was a ding-bell sound, and Ning Rushong looked over. On her soft and slender wrist were jade bracelets and red strings of incense ash beads. The incense ash beads and jade bracelet made a sound when they collided.

The woman in front of me smiled and softened her tone, "Why are you always paying attention to my wrist? Didn't you take away the bracelet, the incense ash beads and the red string? The red string is still tied around your wrist."

Ning Rushong lowered his head in astonishment. There was indeed a red string of incense ash beads tied around his wrist. He hurriedly tried to stand up, but the person in front of him lowered his head, held his face with his hands, and wiped the corners of his eyes with his fingers, "Ning Rushong."

He Yue! He Yue!

"He Yue!" Ning Rushong woke up suddenly and turned sideways to hold the edge of the bed.

He had inadvertently clenched his teeth too tightly and could already smell the smell of blood foam. His entire heart was soaked in salt water, and the wound that had not healed for so many years was filled with unbearable pain and sourness!

"Creaky!" The bedroom door was opened, and Xiao Guanzi walked into the hall holding a cup of warm tea in one hand and a lamp in the other.

The lamp dispelled the darkness, Xiao Guanzi placed it on the table, used a silver needle as a wick to light it a little brighter, and then he knelt at the foot of the couch.

"Your Majesty, you are having a nightmare. I heard you calling the Queen's name outside." Xiao Guanzi said with a worried look on his face.

Ning Rushong seemed to be still immersed in the dream just now. It was not a nightmare, but the floating sea in which he wished he could sink.

"I dreamed of Yueyue, but I couldn't see her clearly." Ning Rushong leaned on the bed in a daze, and his voice slowed down.

The lights illuminated Ning Rushong's face. His frightened face was mostly hidden by his messy black hair. He said, "It's so hard to have a dream like this. It's so hard..."

Tears welled up in Xiao Guanzi's eyes, and he wiped them away with his sleeves. He handed the warm tea to Ning Rusong, "Your Majesty, drink some tea to wake yourself up. I think the Queen must be thinking about you and sent you a dream just now."

Thinking about you?

Ning Rushong shook his head lightly and half closed his eyes. No, Yueyue would not miss him. She was finally free and escaped from his cage.

The loser always hopes that God will have mercy on him and give him another chance to start over. He has also thought countless times how great it would be if he could have another chance.

"Go and find the bracelet that Yueyue loved most when she was alive." Ning Rushong turned around and gave the order, then took the tea and drank it all.

"Yes!" Xiao Guanzi agreed and planned to ask Xiao Taozi who was still staying in the East Palace Biyuan later. She should know where it was.

At that time, His Majesty disliked the poor quality of this jade bracelet and asked him to find a better one for the Empress. He gave this poor quality one to Xiao Taozi and asked her to keep it. After all, it was the Empress's thing, and it would be unreasonable for him to keep it.

Alas! Things have changed, the queen is gone, and when you count carefully, there is only one Xiao Taozi left of the queen's capable maids. Li Momo has left the palace, and Lu Mama, Xiao Lizi, and Moer are all dead!
