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

Time flies and life never stops. Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

There has been unrest in the court in the past two months, and everyone is in a state of uncertainty and anxiety.

Emperor Jingmu's half-brother, Prince Chang'an, colluded with foreign races to plot a rebellion. The strange thing was that as soon as Prince Chang'an had the idea and finished writing the letter, he was arrested by Emperor Jingmu and taken to Yuncheng.

This is not an isolated case. Lord Mu from the Ministry of Revenue was trying to embezzle some of the disaster relief money, but was caught by someone sent by Emperor Jingmu! Lord Qiao from the Ministry of Rites...

One after another, the whole government was shocked. Could it be that Emperor Jingmu had spies around everyone? !

In the harem without their noticing, Mei Baolin jumped four ranks and became the second-rank Concubine Zhaoyi. She still lived in Emperor Jingmu's Guangming Palace, which made the concubines in the harem uneasy.

Empress He discussed with Emperor Jingmu several times about moving Concubine Mei out of Guangming Palace, but was clearly rejected each time.

"Empress, Concubine Mei will not be favored by the emperor and will not get pregnant. Please do not disturb her." Emperor Jingmu spoke coldly. What he was twisting in his hand was no longer a Taoist bead, but one engraved with strange runes, which had the same feeling as the beads around Concubine Mei's neck.

As a staunch supporter of the Crown Prince, the Southern Prince was extremely anxious and paced back and forth in the study of Changxin Palace, muttering, "Something is wrong! It's very wrong!"

He threw away his noble attitude and the roughness cultivated by military training emerged. "Damn it! Where did Emperor Jingmu get such a strong spy? Could it be that everyone's confidant is his man?"

The affairs of Prince Chang'an and the ministers are just like the fact that Guanzi has always been a secret spy beside His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It is so absurd that it is unbelievable.

"I do not deny that Emperor Jingmu was once a wise ruler with extraordinary means." King Nan slammed his hand on the chair, "But if he has always had such terrifying abilities, I don't believe it! Why would he need the help of the He and Duan families when he ascended the throne?"

Emperor Jingmu's ascension to the throne was not smooth sailing. Prince Chang'an was a strong rival, and the He family and the Duan family, the two major families, worked together to put him firmly on the throne. Now he has easily found evidence of Prince Chang'an's crimes and punished him, making all the hardships he had gone through in the past look like a huge joke!

The more the Southern King thought about it, the angrier he became. He almost blurted out what he was saying. He was very angry, "I fought hard at the border and almost escaped death. Most of my family members died. How can he be so easy now?!"

Ning Rusong listened quietly, his eyes were as cold as a painting, and when he saw King Nan's face flushed with anger, he opened his mouth, "Uncle, don't be angry, Consort Mei is my person."

What would it change if Mei Zhaoyi was the Crown Prince's person? The Southern Prince was stunned for a moment. He was not stupid. He could earn the title of king with military merits at the border, and he could firmly support the He Mansion in Yuncheng. He was very sensitive to the court and the harem.

"You mean." Prince Nan swallowed his saliva and looked at Ning Rusong with disbelief. "You told Emperor Jingmu these things through Mei Zhaoyi. Why did you do that? How did you know these things, Your Highness?"

Wow! This is too creepy!

…………

The New Year's Eve Spring Banquet is approaching, and the whole palace is busy. He Yue has another booklet in her hand, let's call it "How to be a cold and noble Crown Princess in front of envoys from various countries."

It was time to prepare gifts for the Chinese New Year, but He Yue didn't know what to give Chi Jue. She had already given him many embroidery items, and it felt perfunctory and not serious enough to give him another one.

This is their first New Year as a married couple! She needs to think about this carefully.

He Yue passed by the West Palace Road. He Yue saw the emperor's guard of honor and hurriedly got off the sedan chair and retreated to the side with the palace servants, "Your son pays homage to the emperor! May the emperor be well!"

It doesn’t matter if you are safe or not, just leave now!

She was vaguely afraid of Emperor Jingmu. Every time she saw him, she would think of that bloody and horrific night.

She has always been well protected by Ning Rushong, who never shows off his power as the crown prince in front of her. On the contrary, Emperor Jingmu has the aura of an emperor, deep and majestic, and extremely terrifying!

He Yue believes that she is not popular, so it is normal for some people to dislike her. She will not rush to please Emperor Jingmu, she just wants to leave quickly.

Emperor Jingmu sat high on the imperial sedan chair, looking down at her with a chilling coldness, "As the Crown Princess, you are out of the palace every day. The Crown Prince is too indulgent towards you."

The prince treated this unfaithful woman like a treasure and protected her.

The name 'He Yue' has been entangled with three people for nearly twenty years. It has become a very mysterious word that is taboo and cannot be mentioned.

Duan Qidai has been infatuated with He Yue all his life, and the Royal Concubine Yue loses miserably in front of someone who has never appeared before.

Emperor Jingmu sometimes wondered what kind of person He Yue was. After twenty years of twists and turns, she strangely appeared in a very young appearance, which further confirmed that there were indeed supernatural people in the world.

He checked and found that when she was in Lijia Village, she called herself a widow and clearly stated the date of Duan Qidai's death. She knew it and chose this time to appear.

She married someone else three months later and became the Crown Princess. The bewitched Crown Prince never agreed to take a concubine. What a good trick, really a good trick!

He Yue knelt silently, lowered his head and said nothing, playing the role of a wooden man to the extreme. The palace servant at the end had already run to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when he saw the emperor's procession.

"I order you to answer." Emperor Jingmu twirled his bracelet. "Prince, you hid your identity as a widow very well, but I still found out. Don't you feel sorry for your late husband?"

He Yue was puzzled and held her breath. Why do you care about me? She was only targeting me, but she had to reply respectfully, "Father, people should always look forward. I believe I have done nothing wrong to my late husband!"

Where did the late husband come from? It was just a fabrication. There is nothing to be sorry about.

"Very good!" Emperor Jingmu sneered and looked away, feeling disgusted just by looking at him.

The Imperial Noble Consort Yue was gone, Duan Qidai was gone, and it was inevitable that Emperor Jingmu would vent his anger on such an "old person".

The happier you are, the more you hate it!

Emperor Jingmu waved his hand, and the imperial sedan began to move. Passing He Yue, He Yue breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Nuan helped He Yue up and whispered to comfort her, "Crown Princess, don't take His Majesty's words to heart. You are angry only for yourself, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be worried."

Widow or not, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cared, he would not have married the Crown Princess as his principal wife. As for covering up the news, it is only to prevent others from looking down on the Crown Princess.

After Emperor Jingmu's sedan chair had gone far away, he tapped the armrest with his fingers and said after thinking for a while, "Liu Lin, seal the letter in the box and don't let it see the light of day again."

He thought that He Yue was a heartless person, and that the letter in her hands would only waste Duan Qidai's good intentions.
