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

The wind was a bit strong, Hui Qing followed He Yue holding the cloak, but He Yue was running too fast and Hui Qing couldn't keep up for a while!

Hui Qing was anxious, and shouted to the palace maid who was leading the way, "Help the queen carefully!"

The palace maid who led the way hurriedly held He Yue's arm with both hands.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. His Majesty has already sent the imperial physicians over!"

Ning Rushong knew how much He Yue valued Xia Suling, so without waiting for Bai Huixian to ask for help, he called all the accompanying imperial physicians over. Together with the doctor Bai Huixian brought with him, the tent was almost packed with them.

The imperial physician said helplessly, "Master Bai, please accept my condolences. Madam Bai has passed away!"

The fact that he was still alive today already astonished the imperial physician. Why bother? Living any longer would be a torment.

Bai Huixian was no longer a decent person. He knelt in front of the bed and held Xia Suling's thin hand tightly with trembling hands, "Suling, Suling! Madam, Madam!"

He looked straight at a doctor with a gray beard, "Doctor Wu, you have always been the one prescribing Su Ling's medicine, and you have saved her many times. Please save her again! I beg you! Whatever herbs you need this time, no matter how expensive they are, I can get them!"

He cried out at the top of his lungs, begging non-stop! The deep sadness made everyone present feel a little uncomfortable. This Lord Bai was usually a prudent and calm person.

The old doctor who was called the Wu Shen Yi sighed and shook his head, "I am no longer capable!"

"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Xia Suling on the bed opened her eyes and reluctantly turned to Bai Huixian, "Go out, I want to talk to the Queen."

When the people around heard the word "Empress", they hurriedly looked towards the door of the tent, and saw the queen in riding clothes standing at the door with red eyes, obviously she had come in a hurry.

The imperial doctors were about to kneel down to pay their respects, but He Yue waved her hand and said in a weak voice, "Everyone, go out."

The imperial doctors quickly left, unable to believe that there could be such a close relationship between the two.

Only Bai Huixian stood motionless by the bed, like a stone statue solidified by sorrow.

"Go out." Xia Suling was still gentle even in such a situation. "You should give way to me in the end."

Wen Yanbai returned to the tent and staggered out, his soul lost. He did not shed tears, but spat out a mouthful of blood the moment he walked out of the tent, and the fishy and sticky blood fell to the ground!

"How unfortunate God is to her! How unfortunate God is to me!" Bai Huixian knelt on the ground, looking like a madman.

…………

Xia Suling leaned on He Yue's hand and barely half-leaned on the window couch. Her beautiful face looked sick and weak. "Your Majesty, there is no need to feel sad for me. The fact that I am still alive today is the result of Bai Huixian's fight with the sky."

It was Bai Huixian who wanted to fight, but Xia Suling didn't want to fight.

Her voice was so light that it seemed as if it would disappear from the world in the next second.

Xia Suling spoke softly, "I have been weak since childhood, so my parents kept me at home since I was young. Later, my parents passed away, and it was Bai Huixian who kept me at home."

Xia Suling smiled sincerely, raised her eyes and stared at He Yue, "So I have never had a close friend, Your Majesty... cough! cough!"

"Your Majesty, you are the first person I consider as my best friend!" Xia Suling laughed and started crying.

She was hunched over by the pain. "I was so scared at that time. Bai Huixian was like a madman trying to climb up the social ladder. He married Li Xiaoshu as his co-wife. I was confined to the small courtyard and could not leave!"

She was coughing uncontrollably, her body was shaking, her shoulders were trembling, and her slender sleeves were sliding off the bed.

"I was once a lady from a scholarly family. Respect and dignity are of the utmost importance to me! Bai Huixian keeps saying that he loves me, but he lets Li Xiaoshu spread those rumors. Even a gatekeeper can humiliate me."

"Your Majesty, you have given me dignity and respect. I am always grateful to you!"

He Yue gently pressed her handkerchief against her face, but the wetness wouldn't dry no matter what she did. Why wouldn't it dry?

There is so much sorrow to tell and so many tears to shed.

Tears soaked the handkerchief, and He Yue felt that her fingertips were trembling. "I also regard you as my good friend."

"Do you know my name?" He Yue forced a smile.

Xia Suling shook her head, "Who dares to speak out the Madam's maiden name?"

"My name is He Yue." He Yue held Xia Suling's hand, slowly bent down, and leaned her head against the head of the bed. It seemed that a chill went straight through her heart, and she could hardly bear it.

After a long silence, He Yue spoke again, "Others have always called me He Yue. Later, I met him. Some people called me Crown Princess, and some people called me He."

She half-lowered her eyes, "After that, they called me the Queen, and no one ever called me by my name again."

"He Yue." Xia Suling repeated, "Yue, the divine pearl bestowed by heaven, Madam, your name has a beautiful meaning."

"People like them are always unreasonable and suffocate others." Xia Suling said this sadly.

Even such a gentle and peaceful person like her was bold enough before her death and dragged the emperor down with her.

Xia Suling was too tired and had no strength left, so she leaned in He Yue's arms. She felt wet and salty tears dripping on her face, but she no longer had the strength to raise her head.

"You are not wrong, madam. Many people have let you down. Bai Huixian has let you down, Li Xiaoshu has let you down, and I thought I had let you down." Xia Suling's eyes were filled with desolation. "In the end, I found that I had let you down too."

Xia Suling claimed that she had never harmed anyone in her life, but the Mandarin Duck Gu that was supposed to be used on her was presented to the emperor by Bai Huixian against her will, and was finally used on the empress.

Mandarin ducks live and die together, what a terrible curse! If you don't want to live, why fear death!

She repeated He Yue’s name in her heart, Yue, the divine pearl bestowed by God to virtuous and wise rulers.

Everyone is a perpetrator, only the Empress and He Yue are victims!

"My queen, I have been stuck in the mud all my life and have never been able to break free. Only now can I feel truly free." After saying this, Xia Suling slowly closed her eyes in He Yue's arms.

He Yue stood up and gently laid Xia Suling in her arms flat on the bed, "You have done nothing to let me down."

He Yue looked outside the tent and heard Bai Huixian's sharp cry. It was the reefs in the deep sea that cut him all over.

But what about Xia Suling? She was innocent, she had done nothing wrong.

"Call the imperial physician!" He Yue said.

The imperial doctors rushed into the tent again, and Huiqing hurriedly tied the cloak on He Yue with an anxious look on her face.

"Your Majesty, please accept my condolences." Hui Qing helped He Yue out and observed He Yue's expression all the way, fearing that she would be too sad.

He Yue looked up at the sky. The clouds were getting thicker and thicker, and people's sorrows were also piling up layer by layer.

"Huiqing, Xia Suling said she is finally at ease." There was an indelible melancholy look on He Yue's elegant face.

“Where is my freedom?”

He Yue heard Hui Qing say, "No one dares to make the queen uncomfortable."
