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

"Go to sleep, Yueyue."

Ning Rushong stood beside the bed and calmed down for a while before getting on the bed. He slept on the outside, put his arm around He Yue, and covered them both with the quilt.

"Okay." Although he had taken a nap at noon today, He Yue still fell asleep sleepily.

In the middle of the night, He Yue heard a slight noise. It was the sound of a curtain being opened, and Ning Rushong seemed to have woken up.

He Yue opened her eyes hazily. The curtain was not closed too tightly, leaving a small gap. Through the gap, she saw Ning Rushong drinking water in front of the table.

The figure was solemn, with long hair casually draped behind him. The dim light set off his clear and elegant face. He seemed to be in some discomfort, with fatigue evident between his brows and his pale knuckles pressed against his forehead.

His expression suddenly changed, and then he drank another cup of tea. In the end, he did not call the palace servants in to serve him.

After about an incense stick of time, Ning Rushong's complexion improved. He lifted the curtain and returned to the bed. He Yue had already closed her eyes again.

Ning Rushong carefully brought He Yue back into his arms, resting his hands on her waist to make her posture more comfortable.

…………

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, but He Yue's embroidered objects still looked half-dead.

In a pavilion in the Imperial Garden, He Yue felt a little melancholy. She recalled the "masterpieces" she had embroidered in the past. Could it be that she really didn't have the talent for it?

"The bamboo embroidered by the queen really has the rhythm of the solar terms!" Xiaobi acted as a competent supporting actor with a look of admiration on her face.

He Yue's eyes fell on her, Xiaobi was really making rapid progress, and now even her expression couldn't show any flaws.

How can this bamboo not have solar terms? It is so straight and eye-catching, without any life at all.

She was about to ask Huiqing to close the embroidery tent, but when she glanced casually, she saw thick smoke rising from the west of the palace!

"What's going on? Someone set the fire?!" He Yue Liuye's eyes flashed with shock and she hurriedly got off the bed.

Huiqing and Xiaobi were frightened but they did not forget to stand in front of the queen. The palace maids in the corridor also stood outside the pavilion with their nerves tense.

The fire spread very quickly, and the billowing smoke swirled in the sky, it was shocking!

"Put out the fire quickly!" Guard Zhang's voice came from the palace road.

The royal guards and palace servants carried water and ran quickly towards the west palace along the palace road.

There are many palaces to the west of the imperial palace. Not to mention those concubines, Empress Dowager He’s Cining Palace is also to the west!

The fire in the Cining Palace was finally put out after half an hour. But before the palace people could be happy, the fire started in another place. It turned out to be the three palaces where the concubines lived!

Guard Zhang rushed to the pavilion where He Yue was, sweating profusely, and half-knelt to salute, "Your Majesty, please ask the Queen to wait here. Don't worry, His Majesty will be here soon!"

He Yue nodded slightly and asked, "Where did this fire start?"

Guard Zhang choked up and said hoarsely, "The fire started in the back hall of the Cining Palace. It was the guilty daughter of the He family who set the fire and committed suicide. The Empress Dowager in the main hall is not seriously injured and has been rescued. Several palace maids were slightly injured, but fortunately no one died."

He Dacai had a miscarriage a few days ago and her position was taken away, but she was saved by Empress Dowager He and placed in the back hall of the Cining Palace.

Xiao Bi, who was standing by, frowned and cursed, "How can this be considered suicide? Isn't this just trying to drag others to die with her?"

The more Xiao Bi thought about it, the more indignant she became. "If you really want to commit suicide, why not just get a white silk scarf and hang it on the beam?"

It's rare for the palace people to like Xiaobi so much, isn't it just because of this? !

Guard Zhang did not stay for long before leaving to continue directing the fire-fighting.

He Yue patted Xiao Bi's hand in a soothing manner, her voice calm and clear, "Okay, His Majesty will be here soon, do you want to make a scene in front of him?"

Xiaobi suddenly became dispirited, she could never forget that day. If it weren't for the queen, she would have been ordered by His Majesty to be cut into pieces.

Later she realized that she had been tricked by someone, but the game was so perfect and everything was linked together that Xiaobi had no choice but to accept defeat.

Hui Qing was originally standing quietly aside, but suddenly she trembled all over. A mysterious warning made her push the Queen out!

"Zheng!"

An arrow whizzed past He Yue's arm! Obviously it wasn't aimed at her life.

"Empress!" Xiaobi was horrified.

Many secret guards rushed into the pavilion in an instant, holding swords to protect He Yue. A large number of people wearing eunuch clothes and masks on their faces suddenly appeared from nowhere, and they fought with the secret guards!

Some of the palace servants outside the pavilion were affected and fell in a pool of blood, while others fled in panic to seek help.

"Someone come! The queen has been assassinated!"

"Someone come quickly!"

He Yue was tightly protected by Huiqing and Xiaobi behind them. The incident happened too suddenly and she was caught off guard. She stroked her abdomen with her hand, her heart beating wildly. Her pretty face turned pale and sweat broke out on her forehead.

The number of assassins increased, and the secret guards had a hard time dealing with them. Moreover, one of the assassins was extremely skilled in martial arts and crushed everyone present.

"Bang! Crash!"

Huiqing and Xiaobi were thrown far away by a huge force, and fell onto the table, with the teacups shattered all over the floor!

The leader assassin flipped his hand and the dagger was across He Yue's neck!

The secret guards were afraid that the assassin would hurt the queen, so they stopped resisting and threw their swords to the ground.

The other assassins retreated with swords in hand behind the leader assassin and He Yue.

He Yue was forced to tilt her head slightly, a thin line of blood appeared on her fair neck, and her hands were tied firmly behind her back by the leader assassin, so she couldn't struggle at all!
