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

The atmosphere in the study room had become extremely depressing at some point.

Bai Huixian was so choked up that he couldn't speak for several times, but he still spoke stumblingly, "The Mandarin Duck Gu needs to be taken willingly. I don't know when Xia knew about the existence of the Mandarin Duck Gu, and she definitely won't be willing to take it. So even if I find this Gu, I can't use it."

"Your Majesty, if you are worried, you can send someone to investigate. I have been looking for him three years ago, and you will surely be able to find his whereabouts." Bai Huixian pointed to Cha Yi beside him and said urgently, "You can also send someone to investigate Cha Yi's identity."

After a long silence, Bai Huixian heard the answer he expected and got the ending he wanted.

"Leave the things and people here. Xia, you can take them back to the mansion yourself."

Regardless of whether His Majesty will use it or not, His Majesty will definitely keep it. Bai Hui clearly knows the answer.

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace!" Bai Huixian's joy was beyond words.

Sometimes he would feel guilty towards He Yue. He and He Yue had only met a few times, but he always took advantage of her.

This kind of guilt is so despicable and mean that even Bai Huixian himself often feels ridiculous and disgusting. Since he has done it, he should just go through it calmly to the end. Why pretend to be compassionate and regretful?

Ning Rushong handed the box to Xiao Guanzi beside him, lowered his eyelids, and his voice was emotionless. "Put it aside for now."

Xiao Guanzi didn't dare to peek at Ning Rushong's expression at this moment. He took the box carefully. It was obviously very light, but Xiao Guanzi felt it was too heavy.

He Yue felt a little better today. The weather outside was not too hot and remained at a comfortable level.

She sat lazily on a hidden swing, with Xiaobi and Huiqing watching over her.

She did not ask anyone to push the swing, but just swung her legs gently, and the hem of her pure blue palace dress also swayed slightly, and the red glazed pendants under the golden and jade hairpin touched each other lightly, making a crisp sound.

Although the place is secluded, it is close to the West Third Hall and belongs to the West Garden of the West Third Hall. It is a rare place for the concubines who are bored in the West Third Hall all day to relieve their boredom. They cannot go anywhere else at will.

So it is normal to meet them in West Garden.

The He sisters were walking together and they met the queen who had come back from the dead.

There was no way to avoid it, so they could only greet her and pay their respects, "Your servants pay their respects to Her Majesty the Queen!"

The status of the court ladies was really low, and they had long since lost their arrogance and learned to bend down and be humble over the course of day.

The exquisite embroidered shoes tapped the ground lightly, and the swing stopped. He Yue did not put on airs, but raised her eyes and said, "Get up, do whatever you want, I'll leave soon."

My self-proclaimed identity was particularly conspicuous and discordant in the ears of the He sisters. They looked at the palace maids behind the Queen and found them very calm. They must have gotten used to it.

Isn't it strange?

The younger sister of the He sisters, Little He, thought for a moment and spoke carefully, "Your Majesty, when will the ceremony of paying respects to the Queen be reopened?"

After the reopening of the greetings, they can at least leave the West Three Halls sometime and maybe even see His Majesty. Naturally, they don't have any thoughts about His Majesty. His Majesty's heart is harder than stone, but such a gloomy life is too depressing, there will always be other concubines who have thoughts about him, so they might as well watch for fun.

"It won't reopen." Seeing the Queen, who was very easy to talk to, speak so bluntly, her still graceful and elegant face was even more indifferent and silent than before, like a deep spring that could not withstand ripples. They could no longer see through it.

He Yue didn't want to cause trouble for herself, so she asked for her well-being. But who would wish her well-being?

She didn't want to see or deal with the noise, the fighting, the scheming.

"I regret it." Xiao He continued regardless of her sister's dissuasion.

He Yue did not ask any questions. She sat calmly on the swing and listened quietly.

"I regret entering the palace, and I regret paying such a painful price for my momentary girlish mentality." Little He finished her words, and at the end she looked at He Yue with envy, "Your Majesty never favored the harem for the sake of the Empress, and repeatedly broke the existing rules, ignoring the opposition and dissuasion of the previous dynasty, and let you live in Yongding Palace. You called yourself "me", I guess it was also tacitly approved by His Majesty."

"They really look like an ordinary loving couple."

After Xiao He finished speaking, she took her sister away. She had been holding these words in for too long, and now that she had gotten them out, she felt relieved.

It would have been great if she had not been so arrogant and married a gentle and ordinary man.

"Being loved by His Majesty is not something that everyone envies." He Yue lost interest and stood up with the help of Xiaobi.

Xiaobi and Huiqing listened to the Queen's words but pretended not to hear them and would not mention them to anyone else.

…………

Within the country of Lan.

The Crown Prince of Lan was sitting in front of a desk with a frown on his handsome brows. After a while, he angrily put the secret letter from Dayun Dynasty on the lamp beside him and burned it.

"Liar!" The Crown Prince of Lan gnashed his teeth, anger surging on his handsome, jade-white face.

He Yue lied to him and fooled him in the beginning! And now she is still alive and well!

All his previous good intentions became a joke. He even tried every means to save her and take her away from Dayun Dynasty!

Mo'er, or rather, Shu Mo, the Crown Prince of Lan, was extremely angry at this moment. People always blame others. He seemed to have forgotten that he also had a hidden identity and had never told anyone. In fact, he was the real Second Prince of Lan and now the Crown Prince of Lan. The assassination incident was nothing more than an internal strife in the struggle for royal power in Lan.

His desire to save He Yue was not purely out of kindness, but was motivated by the desire to plunder a woman as a man would have it, and he was taking an unconventional approach in his attempt to defeat Ning Rushong.

The guard took out another secret letter and handed it over. This secret letter was different. It was stamped with the secret seal of an official from the Dayun Dynasty.

Shu Mo suppressed his anger, opened the secret letter, and his face gradually became heavy.

"The officials of Dayun Dynasty asked us to secretly send several Gu Masters over." Shu Mo read every word on the secret letter, "What are they going to do?"

"Prince, should we refuse?" the guard asked.

Shu Mo sneered and put away the secret letter. "Who do you think this official was instructed by? The emperor of Dayun Dynasty is very strict with his subordinates. They all want to hide their tails and live in secrecy!"

"We must send, and we must send the best." Shu Mo stood up and looked to the east. He seemed to see the palace of Dayun Dynasty and the emperor and empress torturing each other. "We are a vassal state. How can we refuse?"

Lan State was subordinate to Dayun Dynasty. Dayun Dynasty could do without Lan State, but Lan State could not leave Dayun Dynasty. It could only survive by relying on Dayun Dynasty. Whether Shu Mogan was unwilling or not, he had to admit this fact.

But what exactly does a Gu Master want to do? He immediately thought of He Yue for no reason. Could it be related to her?
