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

Water was dripping from the flying eaves. It rained heavily today and it lasted for a long time until it stopped at noon.

He Yue sat in the sedan chair and went towards the west gate of the palace. This time she brought Xiao Ye with her, intending to ask him to repeat what he said yesterday in front of Xia Suling. Time waits for no one, and Li Xiaoshu is good at bewitching people.

Li Xiaoshu seemed to have a great talent for making people feel pity for her. She had a tragic life experience, a pretty face, and a silver tongue. He Yue had felt pity for her when they were in Lijia Village. Fortunately, Aunt Fang's daughter took the initiative to ask her for a cooking job, thus cutting off any possible interactions between the two.

He Yue supported her chin with her hand. She was thinking about something, so her expression was not as gentle as before. The jade beads attached to her green agate and red gold hairpins swayed softly. The light from the sky shattered into golden light and dotted on her face. She was truly a noble person who was made out of gold, jade, and emerald brocade, gorgeous and peaceful.

She raised her eyes and glanced outside casually. To go to the west palace gate, one had to pass through the Xifu Garden. She didn't like coming here very much. Emperor Jingmu had quite a few concubines, and she met several of them every time she came here, such as Jieyi and Baolin, all of whom were full of sharp words.

"Who is that?" He Yue saw a woman in a spring-green palace dress kneeling on the palace path of Xifu Garden. Water was dripping from her clothes. She had obviously been kneeling for a long time. There was a nanny and a palace maid beside her. The nanny looked arrogant and indifferent, while the palace maid had her hands clenched tightly together and looked very anxious.

The sedan chair stopped. Xiao Ye looked at the woman and the maid and replied, "Crown Princess, it's Mei Baolin from Guangming Palace, and the maid beside her is Nanny Lin from Kunning Palace."

Nanny Lin saw the Crown Princess's procession from a distance. When the sedan stopped, Nanny Lin immediately restrained her expression and bowed respectfully in the direction of the Crown Princess. "This old servant pays respect to the Crown Princess. Greetings, Crown Princess!"

Everyone in the palace knew that Empress He disliked the Crown Princess. As someone close to Empress He, Nanny Lin didn't need to be so fawning. But what Nanny Lin was afraid of was not the Crown Princess but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was hovering behind her!

The most difficult job in Kunning Palace now is to pass on messages to the Crown Princess on behalf of Empress He. No one can actually see the Crown Princess. All of them were taken to the Ministry of Punishment, beaten and thrown back to Kunning Palace. Now many of them are bedridden and cannot even get up.

"Let's go." He Yue nodded and ordered the sedan to continue moving. She, a little Karami, would not participate in the fight between masters.

At this moment, Mei Baolin, who had been kneeling with her head lowered, suddenly looked up and looked back at the Crown Princess. She was worthy of being the new favorite of Emperor Jingmu, with a face as beautiful as the clouds, but too enchanting upon closer inspection. The outermost part of her pupils was golden, and one could vaguely see a string of beads engraved with runes on her neck.

He Yue looked at her and saw Mei Baolin smiling, a smile with her teeth showing, a joyful smile that was completely contrary to her current situation.

He Yue looked away and stopped looking at her, her fingers unconsciously stroking the red string of incense beads on her wrist. Fortunately, she saw it at dawn, if it was in the evening she would have been scared.

Little Leaf spoke in a low voice at the right time, "Mei Baolin is a princess presented by Qi State. Qi State is a small border country, and the power of the national teacher is greater than that of the royal family. This Mei Baolin is not the daughter of Emperor Qi, but the apprentice of the national teacher. Emperor Qi specially named her a princess."

"Don't underestimate Mei Baolin because he seems to be evil. He is actually no different from the Taoist priests in Guangming Palace. They all look mysterious but don't have any real skills." Xiao Ye's words revealed his disdain for the Taoist priests in Guangming Palace and Mei Baolin.

At the Huangzhuang He Mansion, Xiao Nuan personally welcomed Xia Suling in with a humble attitude. Xia Suling did not dare to be arrogant and hurriedly said, "Aunt Nuan, you can just send a little palace maid to come, why do you have to come in person?"

Xiao Nuan was the head maidservant of the Crown Princess. She had a dignity that others did not have. She pretended to glance at Li Xiaoshu behind Xia Suling and smiled and replied, "The Crown Princess was afraid that you would arrive first and there would be no one to serve you, so she asked me to wait here."

Xia Suling stepped into the backyard of the He Mansion and was taken to a pavilion. He Yue was reading a booklet. After the rain before winter, it was bitingly cold everywhere, and the pavilion was surrounded by thick tents.

In her mind, He Yue named this booklet "One, Two, Three Things on How to Act Like a Crown Princess" or "The Crown Princess' Ways to Be Lazy". Chi Jue's brain was really flexible. He asked Xiao Guanzi to compile this booklet for her, and she could just read from it in the future.

Xia Suling smiled and bowed, "Your Highness greets the Crown Princess."

He Yue pointed to the seat next to her on the couch and said, "Su Ling, sit down. I want to talk to you about something important today."

Her tone was serious, and Xia Suling became nervous. She sat down with her handkerchief in her hand, and asked in a panic, "But what happened to my husband?"

"That's not the case." He Yue explained hurriedly, giving Xiao Ye a look, "Su Ling, do you still remember what you told me about Xiao Shuang last time? I asked Xiao Ye to check it out, and he actually found something fishy."
