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

Dozens of booklets were piled on the desk in Yongding Palace. Ning Rushong's fingers were on the cover of the book, and his voice was steady but contained some obscurity.

"I can't find it, so where did this bracelet come from?"

The fool just woke up, and the sky suddenly brightened!

Ning Rushong stepped out of the hideous and deep quagmire. He could finally think rationally about the abnormality that had occurred.

Ning Rushong was stroking the jade bracelet in his hand. He lowered his head, his long eyelashes casting a misty shadow. Yes, ever since Yueyue put on the bracelet, her health has deteriorated. It was also after she wore the bracelet that she was diagnosed with a congenital disease.

He knew Yueyue's personality; she was not the kind of person who would commit suicide.

The first thought that came to his mind was not anger at being fooled, but joy at seeing the light of day.

If everything was just Yueyue's plan to escape, it means she is still alive. As long as she is alive, everything can be discussed!

At this moment, Xiao Guanzi received an imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital. "Your Majesty, the imperial physician is here."

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!" The imperial physician knelt down and saluted.

"Take a look at this bracelet to see if there is any problem?" Ning Rushong let go of the jade bracelet and put it back on the table.

"Yes!" the imperial physician replied loudly, his heart beating very fast. The mission that His Majesty urgently summoned him for in the dead of night must be an extremely secret and important matter!

Xiao Guanzi took it with both hands respectfully and then handed it to the imperial physician, who looked at it carefully and even sniffed it.

After a few sticks of incense, the imperial physician stammered, "Your Majesty! This is a perfectly normal bracelet, there is nothing wrong with it!"

"No problem." Ning Rushong clenched his right hand violently, veins popped out, and Qingyong's face was dark.

This was the time he most hoped there would be problems, but things did not always go as he wished!

"Xiao Taozi." Ning Rushong suddenly called Xiao Taozi's name.

Xiao Taozi shuddered. She knelt on the ground and rested her head on her folded hands. "Your Majesty!"

Ning Rusong raised his eyes, his phoenix eyes were full of unspeakable paranoia, he still refused to let go of the rare hope, "You have been with Yueyue the longest, so you go and investigate, you must find out where this bracelet came from!"

"I obey your command!" Xiao Taozi groaned inwardly. If the truth was not found out, she would be punished even if she didn't die!

Xiao Guanzi lowered his head and was secretly happy. It turned out that it was the right choice to bring Xiao Taozi with him, otherwise this task would have fallen on his head.

…………

As the sky was about to brighten, the rooster crowed.

He Yue was wearing an outer coat and leaning against the bed. He felt a throbbing pain in his forehead and was sweating all over. His wet black hair stuck to his cheeks and his face was pale and cold.

Hui Qing used a wrung-out brocade handkerchief to wipe He Yue's neck, where she was sweating the most. "Madam, the hot soup is ready. You will be alert and can wash yourself anytime."

"I dreamed of the person I least wanted to dream of." He Yue raised her eyes and looked at Hui Qing and said word by word.

Huiqing's raised hand stopped in mid-air. She naturally knew who that person was. She turned around and glanced at Xiaobi who was holding the basin of water. Xiaobi bowed and retreated.

"It's just a vain dream. The mistress is safe in the Duan family, so don't worry." Hui Qing bent down and patted He Yue's back, "Don't worry."

He Yue raised her hand absentmindedly and placed it on Hui Qing's wrist. The cold touch made Hui Qing shudder. Her pupils dilated a little, and she spoke to herself, "I have almost forgotten what I dreamed about, but I remember those sinister eyes clearly."

She had been married to Ning Rushong for a year, and during that year, she only felt fear and disgust towards him.

And what she feared most every time was Ning Rushong's eyes. She had never seen them clearly before. They were majestic and cold, as deep as the ocean. Sometimes she would timidly be thankful that he would put on a gentle mask in front of her.

"There will never be a day when we meet again." Hui Qing sat sideways on the bed, holding He Yuexu in her arms, and put a wet handkerchief on her forehead to wake her up.

When the emperor was still the crown prince, he was an unpredictable and feared heir apparent. Now he is the king who holds all the power in the world. It is normal for the mistress to be afraid.

He Yue bent down and put her head on Hui Qing's shoulder, saying in a sullen tone, "Hui Qing, I promise, if he knew I was not dead, he would torture me in every possible way. He would never tolerate someone deceiving him so deeply."

In the end, He Yue still couldn't figure out Ning Rushong's feelings for her. He buried them too deeply and was too ashamed to say them out loud. His genuine and fake gentleness, his vague and tyrannical nature, everything made it hard for her to tell.

"It's been a year. You should have known it a long time ago. It's okay, Madam." Hui Qing spoke soothingly.

This is the only time in a year that the mistress is in this state. She hasn't felt so vulnerable and helpless for a long time.

After about half an incense stick of time, He Yue finally came back to his senses.

"Today is the day that Zan'er is leaving the house, right?" He Yue asked slowly.

Hui Qing let go of her hand and stood up straight, "Yes, the young master is leaving the house for Yuncheng today."

The money and servants are adequately provided, and the young master will not suffer on the road. Even if he is not the head of the family in the future, he is still a direct descendant of the clan.

He Yue placed her hand on Hui Qing's arm, slowly stood up and walked towards the bathroom. Her body was very sticky and she needed to wash.

"Has the clan told him everything?" He Yue asked as they walked.

Hui Qing smiled and said, "Madam, please relax. The clan has already given us many instructions."

Duan Zan was told not to talk about the mistress outside, and not to reveal the mistress's appearance. After all, Duan Zan was a young master trained by the clan, so he would naturally weigh the severity of the matter in his heart.

I have walked into the bathroom. It is called a room, but it is actually a large courtyard. As soon as I enter, I can see a huge screen embroidered with flower patterns, and the hot water in the bath is steaming.

He Yue walked around the screen, took off her clothes, and soaked in hot water. Her limbs, which had been cold since the moment she opened her eyes, now became warm.

Huiqing left after asking for permission, and Xiaobi took over the service. After all, she was the palace doctor and had her own things to do every day, so she couldn't serve the mistress all the time.

There are many maids in the inner three houses, but the mistress privately does not like a large group of maids surrounding her, so she only has Xiaobi as her personal maid.

Outside the Duan residence, a luxurious carriage was parked, followed by seven other carriages for servants and other items.

Duan Zan paced back and forth, his pretty and feminine face revealing his unwillingness.

"Mother, are you really not going to come and see me off?" Duan Zan stopped and looked at Manager Ma in front of him and asked with an anxious and disappointed tone.

Steward Ma shook his head and bowed, "The mistress only learned yesterday that you were leaving, young master, and you are still doing important things elsewhere."

"Young Master, you know that the mistress's body cannot stand too much running around, so she sent someone to ride a horse as fast as possible and asked me to take care of her."
