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

He Yue sat upright, with no expression on her face, and her figure was thin and gaunt.

At this time Huiqing came in from outside and the curtains were opened. It was the time when the sun was at its brightest, and the light poured in.

Hui Qing hesitated, knelt beside He Yue, presented a letter with both hands, and said softly, "Your Majesty, this is from the Duan family. His Majesty asked Eunuch Guan to pass it to your Majesty for your review."

The empress was dressing up, so how could Eunuch Guan enter? So he asked Huiqing to bring her in from outside the tent.

He Yue was a little surprised. She turned her head slightly, and the pearls and jade on her head swayed slightly, reflecting light.

Duan family?

She raised her hand and waved it gently, and all the palace maids except Xiaobi and Huiqing retreated in an orderly manner.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I'm sure the Duan family won't do anything out of the ordinary." Hui Qing said with her eyebrows lowered.

"Get up." He Yue called Hui Qing to get up, then took the envelope and opened it.

There was indeed nothing out of the ordinary in this letter. It was a covert letter of flattery from a minister to the king.

He Yue read it word by word and felt pain on her forehead. She supported herself on the armrest of the chair with one hand and placed the letter upside down on the table with the other hand.

Her eyebrows knitted together, as if she was helpless, "Duan Chuanhe will bring Duan Shu to Yuncheng soon."

Duan Shu, the most outstanding woman in the Duan family's outer house, is eighteen years old and charming.

Xiao Bi was shallow-minded and didn't notice anything, but Hui Qing noticed something unusual. She stood behind He Yue and reached out to touch He Yue's forehead. "Ms. Duan Shu is already eighteen years old and is old enough to get married. Will the Duan family help her find a husband?"

A concubine's daughter, the Duan family mentioned her in the memorial submitted to the emperor, and her intentions were obvious.

"The Duan family wants to present Duan Shu to Your Majesty." He Yue spoke indifferently.

Aristocratic families mostly love the reputation of being clean and honest, and actually don't like to marry into the royal family.

The Duan family must have been very worried because they were disliked by the emperor because of He Yue's matter. Duan Chuanhe was still young after all and could not fully shoulder the responsibility of being the head of the Duan family. So he presented a concubine's daughter to show the world that the Duan family was submissive and submissive.

It's not about the woman, it's about the attitude.

He Yue had met Duan Shu several times when she was at Duan's house. She followed a group of people to pay her respects to her. Her natural beauty stood out among the crowd.

She still had a vague impression that although Duan Shu was beautiful, she was timid and gentle in character and was very easy to control. No wonder the Duan family pushed her forward.

"You should marry into a good family as your principal wife." He Yue closed her eyes, her tone somewhat sad.

It is no exaggeration to say that this palace is a den of dragons and tigers. It is an airtight prison.

There is a cause for every effect. After all, an innocent girl was implicated by her.

At this time, Ning Rushong had entered the tent at some point, glanced at Huiqing lightly, and Huiqing hurriedly retreated.

Needless to say, Xiaobi at the side hurried away. She had always been extremely afraid of this emperor. Staying next to him was like being in a cold ghost prison. She didn't know when she would be eaten up by the pouring ghosts!

Xiaobi murmured in her heart that perhaps the Queen was the only one in the world who was not afraid of His Majesty's majestic demeanor.

Ning Rushong took over Hui Qing's job. He pressed his jade-like fingers on He Yue's forehead and rubbed them lightly in circles.

He moved slowly and gently, his fingertips were calloused, and his force was moderate. He Yue's brows gradually relaxed.

She knew Ning Rusong was here. After a while, she opened her eyes, put her left hand on Ning Rusong's wrist to stop his movements, and tapped the letter on the table with her right hand. She asked in a puzzled tone, "What does your majesty mean?"

Why should I show her the memorial?

Ning Rusong lowered his eyebrows and said in a gentle voice, "I know your heart. You don't want the daughter of the Duan family to enter the palace. I have sent people to intercept them on the way and told them to go back home."

The girl from the Duan family, whose surname is Duan, if she really enters the palace, it will be like a thorn in the hearts of both him and He Yue.

Will He Yue often think of the Duan family and Duan Qidai because of this?

Whenever Ning Rushong thought about this, he would become furious. Although his jealousy would not kill him, it would definitely burn the Duan family girl to ashes!

In this case, it would be impossible to let her enter the palace and curry favor with He Yue.

He held He Yue's left wrist with his backhand and rubbed it gently. He Yue felt an uncomfortable tingling sensation.

"I won't vent my anger on the Duan family." Ning Rushong sighed slightly. He leaned over and kissed He Yue's neck, extending the kiss upwards.

He Yue couldn't stand this kind of ambiguity in broad daylight. She was a little panicked because there were palace servants outside.

Her fingers trembled slightly, and finally she grabbed Ning Rushong's clothes, wrapped her arms around his thin waist, and raised her head to let him do what he wanted.

She looked into Ning Rushong's deep and silent eyes, as if there was an unknown sea of ​​fire suppressed underneath.

What is this? What is she doing? Repaying?
