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

In the bedroom stood a gold-lacquered incense burner with dragon and phoenix patterns, and a faint fragrance filled the air.

It was late at night, the moon had disappeared, and the bright light shone on He Yue's beautiful face. She lowered her eyes, as if lost in thought, and was silent for a long while.

"Yueyue." Ning Rusong, who was standing next to her, put his arm around her shoulders and gently persuaded her, "If you can't bear to watch, then don't watch."

Although his words sounded tender, his heart was as cold and indifferent as a frozen snowy mountain. Li Xiaoshu's current fate was all her own fault.

Because of saving his life, he gave Li Xiaoshu a lot of things. The money and status were enough for her to live a worry-free life. But he didn't manage it well and made a wrong move at the beginning, which led to the complete loss of everything.

He Yue didn't reply to him and unfolded the letter.

Dear Mr. He:

I know I no longer have the face to address you like that, and I also know this letter may not reach your hands, but I still wrote it.

When I first arrived in Lijia Village, I regarded you as a blessing bestowed upon me by God. You saved me from suffering and gave me a stable life. You were the celestial dew hanging from the willow bottle in the hand of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.

Human beings have endless jealousy. I hate you, and I think I have always hated you, but until today I still want to ask for your forgiveness. I am a vicious and despicable person who wants to drag you into the quagmire and mix you with me.

……

The letter was folded. He Yue did not finish reading it. The whole letter was asking for repentance and forgiveness. Why did everything seem to disappear after death?

He opened the cloth bag and took a look. It contained some children's clothes, and judging from the stitching, they were sewn by Li Xiaoshu himself.

"Put it away." He Yue stretched out her hand to cover the wooden box, her faint willow-leaf eyes half closed, "Hui Qing, put it away."

Hui Qing, who had been quietly staying in a corner of the palace, walked forward lightly, picked up the wooden box and retreated silently. Only the emperor and the empress were left in the bedroom.

He Yue leaned in Ning Rusong's arms. She was a little sad at first, but Ning Rusong's cold mood also affected her. "She said she hated me."

"But she is the one who has no right to hate me. I have never done anything wrong to her."

"Yueyue." Ning Rusong held her tighter, almost coaxing her, "She is not important."

No one else mattered. Ning Rusong's graceful face was full of tenderness. He put his arm around her and stroked her black hair. "It's most harmful to your body to be hurt at night. Yueyue, go to sleep. Don't hurt yourself for someone who's not worth it."

He Yue's mind kept replaying the past with Li Xiaoshu. She grabbed Ning Rushong's sleeve with her hand. She slept a lot during pregnancy, so gradually she fell asleep.

Ning Rushong stood there like this, and after she fell asleep, he gently picked her up and laid her on the inside of the bed. He lay on the outside, holding her in his arms, with the curtains lowered and closed.

Yueyue, let’s just cut off the old past.

…………

The next day, Ning Rushong went to court. Before leaving, he closed the quilt tightly, fearing that He Yue would catch a cold.

Sitting on the imperial sedan chair, Ning Rusong raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at the small secret below, "How is the progress over there, Guard Zhang?"

His tone was flat, but contained the condescending majesty of an emperor, solemn and dignified and no one could disobey him.

"Nothing." Xiao Guanzi was secretly happy, fortunately it was not our family that was asked.

Ning Rusong's voice was low and slightly cold, "Useless guy, where are you?"

The useless Guanzi said with an embarrassed look, "I have gained nothing. I have tried every trick, but I still get the same old words."

Of course there are people who can cover up the matter tightly, but it definitely won't be Duan Chuanhe now, so it can only be the backup plan left by Duan Qidai.

Ning Rusong had become more open-minded these days because of He Yue's consolation. He sneered, "Let Guard Zhang come back. I'm afraid that the things that the head of the Duan family wanted to cover up during his lifetime have been covered up thoroughly. There will be nothing to find out if we investigate further."

His handsome face was calm and emotionless, but his heart was filled with pure hostility. So what if he had all sorts of tricks left?

The relationship between Yueyue and I has become a foregone conclusion. We will love each other and become a pair of mandarin ducks and phoenixes.

In Yongding Palace, He Yue had a tasteless breakfast. After finishing her breakfast, she took the teacup to rinse her mouth. She looked at Hui Qing and asked her blankly, "Have I ever asked you to keep any letters?"

Her face, like a lotus in the distant mountains, contained a look of anticipation that she herself was not aware of.

Hui Qing had been keeping her eyelashes down since the beginning. She frowned and thought carefully, then replied respectfully, "I have no impression that Your Majesty has never asked me to keep any letters. Or are you referring to the one from Madam Bai last night?"

"It's okay, I was confused." He Yue raised her hand and pinched her nose bridge, shaking her head slightly.

Hui Qing stepped back with the teacup, then quickly returned to the ear room. After looking around, she closed the door tightly and took out a purse that she had never opened from a secret place.

She touched it gently and it indeed felt like paper.

Pursing her lips, Hui Qing opened the letter with trembling hands, gently pulled out a corner of the paper, and saw the six words "Personally written by my wife He Yue"!

The Queen Mother forgot about the letter, the Queen Mother forgot about the head of the family!

Hui Qing collapsed to the ground instantly, thinking about the medicinal food that she had personally served to the Queen Mother. How could she, who was so proficient in medicine, not notice the weirdness in it?

And of course His Majesty knew that she would find out that this was a conspiracy to take advantage of her loyalty!

Whether to pretend not to know or to watch the empress gradually become seriously ill and die, it all depends on Huiqing's thoughts!
