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

The moon set behind the treetops and the sky darkened.

Shu Mo was first drugged and unconscious for a long time, and then he was dragged into a hidden tent. His legs and hands were injured, and his body was covered in blood. He looked like he had been in a sea of ​​blood.

"Oh!"

He was thrown to the ground by the secret guard, curled up in pain, and his forehead was hit somewhere and bleeding. He shook his head as hard as he could and looked up at Ning Rushong who was sitting not far away. He thought of the past and it seemed to be the same scene.

The blood blurred his eyes and he couldn't see clearly.

"Are you going to kill me?" Shu Mo's voice was hoarse, accompanied by violent coughing. He thought he asked an extremely stupid question.

"I was just curious about Empress Yuanmu of the Dayun Dynasty, so I disguised myself as a palace maid to take a look." Shu Mo lay on the ground with her back hunched.

He was still resisting.

Ning Rushong stood up, but Xia Ran Yueyun's face showed an extremely cruel and brutal expression!

He raised his foot and stepped on Shu Mo's neck, slowly applying force and grinding, "Curious? Do you think I can't find out your identity? Prince of Lan Country, your subordinates are very anxious now."

Every word was laced with the cruel and cold smell of blood.

Half a day is enough to find out a lot of things.

"You are more familiar with Mo'er's identity. This is the first time that someone has hidden so deeply in front of me!" Ning Rushong sneered. The candlelight reflected on his cold face, making it difficult to see clearly.

"A man is hiding in my backyard, next to my wife." Ning Rushong was really angry, which was rare. Shu Mo was in so much pain that he could hardly breathe. His face had turned blue, but his hands were dislocated and the arrows in his legs were still there. He could not move, like a fish on the chopping board, waiting to be skinned alive!

"I...did not have any affair with Queen Yuanmu!" Shu Mo struggled to say this. He began to twitch uncontrollably.

Ning Rusong's eyebrows were filled with hostility. Seeing Shu Mo almost dying on the ground, he relaxed his strength a little and sneered, "I know."

Not to mention that Xiao Taozi in the Biyuan and all the servants in the palace were not blind. He slept with He Yue almost every night at that time. If there was really a so-called affair between a man and a woman, it could not be hidden from him.

"So what? Even if a prince of a vassal state died here, your father wouldn't even dare to investigate. He has so many sons." Ning Rushong kicked Shu Mo aside.

Shu Mo spat out a mouthful of blood, and the hideousness on her beautiful face was hard to conceal, "He... He Yue."

He suddenly said the queen's name, tilted his head and grinned, his eyes were cunning, and his voice was as hard to hear as torn cloth. "He Yue is very smart, smarter than you think. How many palace maids died in Biyuan? Do you really think she doesn't know?"

Shu Mo looked straight at Ning Rusong, "If I die in your hands, she will know it was you who did it sooner or later."

"And what is your purpose in wanting the Gu Master from Lan Country? Do you dare to let He Yue know?!" Shu Mo laughed heartily.

He intuitively grasped Ning Rushong's sore spot, which was the key to his life!

Does Ning Rushong dare to gamble?

"I really don't dare let Yueyue know." Ning Rushong did not deny it. His face was peaceful and calm, and no emotion could be seen.

"What about you?" Ning Rusong said slowly, "You have far more weaknesses than I imagined. Your subordinates who have been with you through thick and thin, your mentor in Lan Country, your mother, and your biological sister."

"I will not kill you for now, but after the autumn hunt, whether you can survive depends on your ability."

After saying that, Ning Rushong turned and left. Whether Shu Mo was alive or dead, he was not to be feared.

…………

Inside the imperial tent, He Yue seemed to hear some noise in her sleep. She wanted to get up, but the arm across her waist pulled her into his warm embrace.

Ning Rusong patted her back gently, his voice sounding weary, "I just came back, stay with me to sleep for a while."

"Something seems to have happened outside." He Yue reached out and slightly lifted the bed curtain. The sky was just getting light, and she blinked uncomfortably.

The noise outside seemed to be louder.

Hui Qing heard the noise, stepped into the tent, knelt beside the bed, and whispered, "Eunuch Guan told me that there were assassins who broke in, but they were all caught last night. Now it's just that the guards went to other tents for routine interrogation. It's nothing, Madam, go to sleep."

It was impossible for a routine interrogation to be conducted in the imperial tent, so Huiqing said it was no problem.

Huiqing closed the bed curtain again and carefully left the tent.

His large palm supported He Yue's waist, and he held her in his arms gently but without any objection.

He rested his head on He Yue's shoulder, their hair spread out and merged together, and their breath seemed to be entangled together.

"It's not yet daybreak, Yueyue, sleep a little longer." This is the whisper between lovers.

He Yue had been woken up by the noise outside and was still a little sleepy, so she followed his instructions, closed her eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, it was almost noon and Ning Rushong was nowhere to be seen.

He Yue sat on a stool, and the palace maid held a jade comb and combed her hair into a bun.

Xiaobi has always been talkative in front of He Yue. Although she was frightened yesterday, she actually returned to her normal state after a night.

"Your Majesty, you don't know that those assassins last night were targeting the envoys from the Lan Kingdom! The assassins were Lan people. Tsk, a small vassal state of Lan is really restless. I heard that two years ago, the envoys from Lan Kingdom came to our Dayun Dynasty and were assassinated by their own people!"

Xiaobi was mumbling to herself, and she didn't notice the Queen's gaze on her.

Xiaobi's emotions were always on her face, so He Yue didn't notice anything unusual, so she continued, "The envoy from Lan is their crown prince. It looks like things are going to get out of hand."

The palace maid who was combing her hair had already tied it into a bun. She took out a blue and gold-inlaid hairpin from a brocade box held by another palace maid to embellish it, and also took out two other jade hairpins to set it off.

The queen slept soundly this morning, and Huiqing was watching over her. Xiaobi listened to the gossip outside for a long time. Because of her status, the guards and eunuchs were willing to tell her some secrets that others didn't know.

Seeing that He Yue was somewhat interested, Xiao Bi hurriedly spoke respectfully, her tone unable to conceal her rising voice, "The Crown Prince of Lan Country was lucky. I don't know why he was not in the tent at the beginning. When he rushed back, most of his subordinates were killed or injured. Later, he was driven crazy and wanted to chase the assassin, so he was injured."

It seems that the injury is not serious, He Yue withdrew his attention and stopped caring about it.

At this time, the maid who was combing her hair put a coral, white jade and silver pendant necklace on He Yue's neck. She was a sweet talker, and although her words were flattering, they made people feel sincere. "The Queen is as beautiful as jade and as clear as the moon."

The maid holding the brocade box was not to be outdone, "Yes, Your Majesty is so charming and graceful that I am stunned!"

Compared with them, Xiaobi is actually not good at talking.

He Yue looked at the bronze mirror. She did not take the palace maid's exaggerated words to heart, but her complexion had indeed improved a lot recently and she was no longer sickly and weak.
