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

In the hottest days of summer, the sun is scorching, there is no wind, and the air seems to be frozen and sticky.

"Let's go." He Yue withdrew his gaze from the woman, his expression calm and his voice calm and cool.

This is the path Li Xiaoshu chose, and it is also what she wanted. He Yue will not comment on it. As long as a person can take care of himself, it is already an excellent ending.

Now that she had obtained the household registration documents, He Yue finally put her mind at ease with the last worry in her mind.

On the other side, Ning Rushong did not stay in Tongzhou for long, and hurried back to Yuncheng, the capital of Dayun Dynasty. His return heralded a bloody storm.

Inside the Queen’s Kunning Palace.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

"The prince has finally returned safely!" Empress He showed a look of joy and stood at the door of the palace herself, with the nanny beside her supporting him carefully.

Empress He has held the Phoenix Seal for many years. She has a dignified and elegant demeanor and a dignified and elegant appearance. She looked at Ning Rushong not far away, and her eyes were slightly red.

"Your son pays homage to your mother!" Ning Rushong bowed and greeted her, his handsome face still calm and steady.

"The prince has suffered." Empress He nodded slightly and her emotions gradually calmed down.

She looked at Ning Rushong carefully. After not seeing him for two and a half months, he looked even more cold and fierce. Dressed in the crown prince's robe, he looked even more majestic than the emperor.

"Please come in, my son." Empress He turned and walked into the hall, her voice no longer excited.

She sighed almost inaudibly. Her legitimate son had been extremely gifted since childhood, but he became less and less human as he grew older, and his temperament became so cold that it was difficult for people to approach him.

Inside the palace, calming incense was burning in the incense burner. Something had happened in the harem again, and Empress He had not been sleeping well these days.

In order to win the emperor's favor, the concubines used such despicable and vicious means.

The Crown Prince and Empress He sat opposite each other, and the tea-serving maid brought them two cups of the finest Tianchi tea.

Ning Rushong lowered his eyebrows and took a sip. The mist of the tea softened his sharp eyebrows and eyes. When he was silent, he looked even more noble and majestic.

"My son, do you have any plan for Prince Rong?" asked Queen He.

Ning Rushong stroked the smooth cups with his fingers. They were of very good quality, fired in a fine cave. They were completely different from the ones in He Yue's home. Such inferior cups could only be used for the most basic purposes.

He Yue.

Ning Rusong frowned and put down the cup, "Don't worry, mother. I have a plan for Prince Rong."

It's nothing more than fabricating charges and displaying true and false evidence. It doesn't matter whether Prince Rong falls into the trap or not, he has to sacrifice some officials.

"What a sin, brothers killing each other." Empress He hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, and only at this moment did she show a little fatigue.

Empress He held her forehead with one hand, obviously having a headache.

Empress He was a ruthless person, but everything has a process. When she first entered the palace, she was inevitably kind-hearted and allowed the birth of a prince before the legitimate son was born.

"The change of imperial power is bound to be bloody." The prince said this as a matter of course.

The blood of brothers is also blood. Ning Rusong raised his cold eyes and said, "Mother, Prince Rong is the eldest son of a concubine. His birth was a mistake."

This sentence undoubtedly reveals Ning Rushong's cold and aloof character. He was born wrong, how willful and arbitrary he is.

Ning Rushong was brought up in an environment of imperial power, and learned how to manipulate power while being supported by the He family and the King of Nan. No one taught him to have good intentions, so it seems likely that he would not be able to learn.

"I am tired."

The nanny helped Empress He to stand up, and she said to Ning Rusong, "My son, please go."

She thought, this was not a conversation between mother and son, it was clearly a conversation between the Queen and the Prince, and between the He family and the monarch they were loyal to.

"Your son will take his leave." Ning Rushong lightly lifted his robe and stood up in a calm and graceful manner.

After Ning Rushong left Kunning Palace, Empress He went into the bedroom. She needed to have a sleep as she was very tired. There were too many things weighing on her mind, including the harem, the previous court, her husband and son, the emperor and the crown prince.

Empress He raised her hand, and the nanny helped her take off her palace dress embroidered with gold and phoenixes.

"My son is truly fit to be the emperor. He is just as cold-blooded as his father."

Mammy didn't dare to answer.

…………

The prince returned to Yuncheng safely, and those court officials who had rashly joined Prince Rong's camp began to regret it.

Some even sent beauties to the Eastern Palace.

The chief eunuch of the Eastern Palace, Xiao Guanzi, stuffed all the beauties into an attic.

Xiao Guanzi asked Ning Rusong, "Your Highness, do you want to send them back, or send a nanny to teach them etiquette and then place them in the East Palace?"

Ning Rushong suddenly remembered that he once wanted to ask the teaching nanny to teach He Yue.

Ning Rusong stretched out his hand and rubbed his temple. Was he possessed by a demon? His voice was slightly irritable. "Repatriate."

Xiao Guanzi responded hurriedly, nodding several times, "Not every woman is worthy of entering the East Palace. Your Highness, I will have someone send them back right away."

Ning Rushong sat on the chair, tilting his head slightly. Under the light and darkness, his jawline looked even sharper, and his eyes were gloomy.

So many women want to enter the Eastern Palace, all for power, why doesn't He Yue want it? Is she just aloof?

She obviously loves money so much, but when she saw the jade pendant, her willow-leaf eyes widened.

He Yue has a very beautiful pair of eyes, with a charming and slender shape, but the pupils are black, bright and round.

"Hey, what is Mr. He doing?"

Her tone at that time was filled with uncontrollable joy, and her voice was slightly rising.

"He Yue." Ning Rushong called out softly the name that had appeared in his mind countless times.

"Who is your Highness the Crown Prince calling?" Xiao Guanzi asked puzzledly. It sounded like a woman's name.

"Who?" Ning Rusong was silent for a while, and suddenly a smile appeared on his handsome face, mixed with a bit of plundering blood, "Xiao Guanzi, go send someone to clean up Biyuan and prepare a teaching nanny."

"Everything is arranged according to the status of Liangdi."

Liangdi is the first rank below the Crown Princess, equivalent to the Crown Prince's concubine, and her title must also be engraved with the royal jade butterfly.

Ning Rushong did feel regretful. He let He Yue go, and he thought he should have the right to redeem himself.

Xiao Guanzi was so shocked when he heard this that his whisk almost dropped. He turned his astonished gaze to the guard Zhang who was standing beside the prince. Why didn't he tell him in advance?

But Xiao Guanzi found that there was no joy on Guard Zhang's face, but rather a bit of sadness.

Emotion is a magical thing. It can bring together two people of completely different identities and statuses. However, under the oppression of imperial power, people are divided into different classes, and love is also divided into high and low levels.

He Yue can escape for a while, but not for a lifetime.
