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

A faint scent of incense was burning slowly in the incense burner in the warm room. Little Lizi fiddled with it to make it burn better.

Li Xiaoshu's expression remained gentle, and he managed to remain calm. "Sister Xia is not feeling well, and needs to rest."

"Oh." He Yue was a little exhausted by Ning Rusong's disturbance last night. She rubbed her head tiredly, "Li Xiaoshu, I don't want to interfere in your family affairs, but you have to remember that demoting your wife to a concubine is a serious crime."

She didn't want to be an accomplice to evil and help a later concubine to make the already pitiful first wife even more miserable. That would be a sin!

This was already a kind of admonition, and Li Xiaoshu was busy proving her innocence, "No, no, Sister Xia is still your wife, and I am just your co-wife!"

He Yue wanted to rest. She always had the habit of taking a nap at noon. She stretched out her hand. Xiao Taozi knelt beside the couch, took the jade fan and handed it to another palace maid to keep, and then carefully took off the armor set.

"I know about your wedding. Li Xiaoshu, you can go now." He Yue's voice was flat and indifferent.

She leaned lazily on the couch, her face looking stern.

Li Xiaoshu's words were full of mistakes and omissions. How could the concubine receive the imperial edict while the first wife was unknown? Not to mention the ridiculous wedding? I'm afraid that after the wedding, everyone in Yuncheng will only know that Mrs. Bai is Li Xiaoshu.

He Yue just said that she knew, but did not agree to anything. Li Xiaoshu became a little anxious and opened his mouth to say something, but was coldly interrupted by He Yue.

"I have been kind enough to you. Do you still remember the transfer document that you fooled me into signing? That should have become part of your husband's ladder to success."

"Don't be greedy, and don't always treat others as fools. Are you the only smart person in this world?!" He Yue's voice was cold, and he rested his hands on the edge of the couch, obviously a little impatient.

He Yue has always been a smart person, but she was very upset when she was taken to the Eastern Palace. As time went by, she naturally figured out where the marriage certificate that she said she had signed personally came from.

"Boom!"

Li Xiaoshu knelt on the ground in shock, not daring to say a word.

He Yue waved her hand and said, "Let's go."

Just as Li Xiaoshu was about to leave, he heard the sound of a servant bowing outside, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Ning Rushong was dressed in an ink-dyed robe, with a deep and majestic appearance and a lofty demeanor.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Li Xiaoshu and the palace maids knelt down and saluted.

When Li Xiaoshu saw Ning Rushong again after many months, she felt only fear and panic in her heart. Bai Huixian had told her more than once how terrifying the prince was.

He is a heartless, cruel and sinister person, and the cold and gorgeous appearance on his face is all just a disguise.

How can evil ghosts walk in the world if they are not covered with human skin?

He Yue saw that he did not salute her, but just turned her head away. She really suffered a lot last night. She had been sleeping peacefully, but she was held in his arms and made a fuss again.

She called for water again in the middle of the night, and she was so embarrassed when the palace maid entered the hall.

Ning Rushong seemed not to have noticed Li Xiaoshu and walked straight to He Yue's couch.

He stroked He Yue's back gently, and said in a clear voice, "I was too angry last night. Don't be angry, please look at me."

A few strands of He Yue's hair fell on Ning Rushong's wide sleeves. Li Xiaoshu looked at this scene. Ning Rushong's tall figure seemed to fit He Yue tightly in his arms.

He Yue rarely got angry and didn't even turn around to look at him. This was finally a legitimate reason to give him a cold shoulder, so of course she had to make good use of it. Otherwise, she would feel suffocated from being so submissive every day!

Ning Rusong lowered his voice slightly, and said tenderly, "Yueyue, look at me."

All the palace maids and Li Xiaoshu were shocked. Probably no one had expected that one day His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be able to call someone so gently.

He Yue stiffened slightly. This time, she turned her head and looked up at Ning Rushong, forcing a faint smile, "Your Highness actually still remembers what I said last night."

"Of course I'll remember what I promised." Ning Rushong felt a little happier when he saw He Yue's attitude soften.

He leaned forward slightly and raised his hand to stroke her cheek, "What's wrong? You look a little pale."

Is it because the subordinates didn't serve her attentively? But they shouldn't be that brave. Could it be that Li Xiaoshu said something she shouldn't have said and made her upset?

He Yue couldn't describe the feeling in her heart. She was yearning and reminiscing, while at the same time she was reflecting on herself and despising.

She shook her head slightly, and said softly in a gentle voice, "I'm just tired and want to take a nap."

Ning Rusong leaned over, picked up her legs, lifted her up and walked towards the inner hall, "It would be good to take a rest."

Looking from behind, one could only see the Crown Princess's slender, white hands wrapped around the Crown Prince's neck, which contrasted with the jade bracelet on her wrist, creating an eye-catching picture.

The pearl curtain was lowered, and the Crown Prince and Crown Princess disappeared. Only then did Li Xiaoshu and the others dare to stand up.

Xiao Taozi started to act like a senior palace maid again. She could tell that the Crown Princess didn't like Li Xiaoshu, so she spoke in a haughty voice, "Madam Bai, please leave the palace with me. This palace is not a place for outsiders to stay for long!"

Li Xiaoshu still smiled respectfully, as if he didn't feel embarrassed at all, "Please lead the way, Aunt Tao."

Before leaving, she looked back at the magnificent Biyuan again. It seemed that she would never be able to compare to He Yue in her life. How could she not feel jealous?

He Yue was born with a face like that, as if God's favor had fallen on her alone. Many powerful men were willing to bow down to her and give her an honorable position. It was just like the preference of a scholar in a storybook, who gave her everything she wanted.

Li Xiaoshu retracted her gaze and walked out of the palace step by step. She was different. She had finally gotten in touch with Bai Huixian by relying on her small life-saving grace to the prince. She would never let go!

She doesn't want to go back to Lijia Village and become the Li Xiaoshu who has nothing again!

…………

Inside the inner hall of Biyuan, He Yue sat in Ning Rushong's arms, her posture relaxed and natural.

She told Ning Rushong the purpose of Li Xiaoshu's visit to her.

Ning Rusong was silent for a moment, and then said calmly, "Don't worry about Yueyue. I will naturally give Bai Hui a decent show."

He Yue looked at him in confusion, "Bai Huixian already has a wife, so do we have to give him this kind of respect?"

Ning Rusong looked at He Yue in his arms and explained, "Bai Huixian is a man of means and talent. With his talent, if he had not been born in such a humble family, he would not have fallen to the point of becoming a county magistrate."

He stretched out his hand and smoothed He Yue's hair. "Bai Huixian was the top scholar in the 19th year of Xingyuan. He was such a noble and elegant scholar, but in the end he became a knife in my hand. He is very obedient. His character is no longer important in my eyes."

Ning Rushong's voice was filled with natural malice. He was happy to see such a noble Confucian scholar turned into a lackey who would do anything to gain power.

How interesting.

"Yueyue, go to sleep. Don't worry about that mediocre person. It was Li Xiaoshu who chose Bai Huixian himself. You can't blame anyone else."

He Yue sighed and closed her eyes. Ning Rushong coaxed her to sleep in a good mood.

She thought she couldn't fall asleep, but she finally fell asleep to the sound of "Yueyue".

Seeing that He Yue had fallen asleep, Ning Rushong put her on the bed and covered her with a quilt.

He gently stroked He Yue's delicate face, "You are the innocent and kind Crown Princess."
