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

In the study, Prince Nan reported his mission and then sipped his tea leisurely.

He and Ning Rusong have always had a closer relationship than ordinary people. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Ning Rusong, "But which blind servant has angered His Majesty?"

Ning Rusong shook his head, stroking the wall of the cup with his fingers, his brows and eyes were somewhat gloomy. After a while, he asked the Southern King, "What kind of person is Duan Qidai?"

Ning Rusong kept the Queen and the Duan family's affairs secret, even the Southern King didn't know, so he replied casually, "A talented man who died young, if he hadn't retired from officialdom so early, he would have achieved great things."

"Today, a palace maid overstepped her bounds and said in private that I looked a bit like him. Someone heard it and reported it to Xiao Guanzi." Ning Rushong put down the cup with a gloomy expression.

Prince Nan was skeptical about whether there was such a daring palace maid in the palace, but he still pondered Duan Qidai's appearance carefully. His eyes moved around Ning Rusong's face again, then he clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Your Majesty! To be honest, the former head of the Duan family really looks a bit like you!"

The Southern King was such a cunning person that he didn't care about seniority and age at all and just said that Duan Qidai looked like Ning Rushong.

It's just a few points, similar in appearance but not in spirit. The former head of the Duan family was gentle and warm, a perfect smiling tiger, while Your Majesty is cold and reserved. Except in front of the Empress, he is not tender at all. Normally, no one connects the two of them together.

Fortunately, Ning Rushong was extremely cunning and scheming. The jealousy in his heart was like a knife cutting his flesh, but his face only became a little more gloomy.

He even forced out a sarcastic laugh, and said with his thin lips slightly parted, "Ridiculous! Okay, King Nan, you can leave now."

The Southern King's sharp nerves were giving him a warning. He felt a storm coming, and he hurriedly stood up and said goodbye. "I'll take my leave!"

He turned around and strode away, closing the study door tightly. The emperor's excitement was not something that ordinary people could bear to see, so it was more important to keep his life and enjoy it!

Xiao Guanzi, who was serving at one side of the study, cursed in his heart, how quick the Prince of Nan was to slip away, and the damn guard Zhang didn't show up for duty today, leaving him alone to face the wrath of His Majesty!

The Prince of the South doesn't know, but Xiao Guanzi does know that Duan Qidai is the Empress's late husband!

No wonder! No wonder something seemed wrong when His Majesty came out of the West Pavilion this afternoon.

"Bang! Bang!"

The fine white porcelain cup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. Ning Rushong's face was terrifyingly gloomy, and the fingers that were supporting the table were twitching and shaking unconsciously!

He hated her so much! But he couldn't bear to hate He Yue, so he could only feel jealousy towards the dead Duan Qidai!

If Duan Qidai appeared in front of Ning Rushong at this moment, he would skin him alive without hesitation!

He was so angry that he couldn't help but half bent over and retched. His shoulders were shaking and his eyes were bloodshot.

He had never been so angry before. This was the most heart-wrenching pain he had ever felt. His body was also in pain, and his abdomen was churning. He wanted to find a knife to stab it in to make it feel better!

Xiao Guanzi half-knelt on the ground, presented the handkerchief, and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself! Duan Qidai, a man who has long been buried in the earth, is not worth hurting yourself like this!"

Ning Rushong's mind was on fire, so he couldn't hear what Xiao Guanzi was saying. He just kept recalling what He Yue had said to him.

"Chijue, you have such beautiful eyebrows and eyes. It would be better if you could be gentler in your daily life."

"A little softer would be just right."

"Just call me Yueyue. That's how my family used to call me. We've been calling me that since I was little."

"Please be gentler with me, gentler."

It turned out that everything had been foreshadowed! He stood up, sat on the chair, half tilted his head back, took Xiao Guanzi's handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose tightly.

The fingers covering the silk handkerchief were tense, showing that she had been cruel to herself.

Maybe he was in too much pain, his eyes were misty, but his eyes were full of hostility and he didn't look weak at all, but rather very cruel.

The lingering feeling of suffocation finally made Ning Rusong clear his mind. He let go of her hand and said, "Bring that maid from the Duan family to me."

The sound was flat, but it was like a bottomless pool, making people feel creepy at first glance.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xiao Guanzi obeyed the order.

Xiaobi has already left the palace, so His Majesty can only be referring to Huiqing.

When Xiao Guanzi turned to leave, Ning Rusong stopped him again, "Do it quietly, don't let Yueyue find out, and don't hurt the maid of the Duan family."

"Yes!" Xiao Guanzi responded quickly.

He was shocked but also understood that His Majesty really could not escape the bondage of this love affair. He had to swallow this great humiliation secretly and did not dare to question the Queen at all!

Xiao Guanzi entered the palace late, and Duan Qidai was no longer an official at that time, so Xiao Guanzi had never met him. At this moment, he was wondering who he was and why he had caused two emperors to suffer so much at his hands.

Tsk! It's a good thing he died early, otherwise neither Emperor Jingmu nor Your Majesty would let him live.
