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

There was a five-legged, eight-sided brazier in the house with fine warm charcoal burning on it. He Yue didn't feel cold physically, but her heart seemed to be immersed in a cold pond.

Outside the bedroom, Nanny Lu said softly, "Your Highness, Crown Prince, Crown Princess, the female doctor is here."

Originally, a royal physician was invited, but Xiao Guanzi changed his mind and thought, what if the injury was not just the hand, so he changed to a female doctor.

Ning Rusong lowered his head, tied up He Yue's inner belt, and tidied her messy hair in a soothing manner, "Come in."

The door of the bedroom opened, and the female doctor first bowed and greeted, then knelt on the ground respectfully without looking away.

People in the palace must always keep their eyes and mouths under control, otherwise they deserve to lose their lives at any time.

"Come and see the doctor." The prince's voice was cold.

The female doctor then stood up and walked around the ebony carved screen, came to the bed and knelt down, looking down at the ground, "Princess, where are you injured?"

"Hand." Ning Rushong answered for her, turning her hand over to reveal the back of her hand.

The female doctor raised her head and looked at the back of her hand where the skin was broken. It was just some abrasions. She could just apply some medicine. Even without applying any medicine, it would heal in a few days.

However, anything that belongs to a nobleman is naturally extremely valuable. The female doctor said respectfully, "I will prepare a few bottles of the best ointment and send it over. I guarantee that all the marks will be gone in a few days."

"Well, go out." The prince's voice was cold and indifferent.

The female doctor respectfully left with the medicine box. This time she did not dare to look up, so she only saw the Crown Princess's hands, which were white and delicate, with a few red marks on them, making them even more pitiful.

People are always curious, so she couldn't help but wonder what the Crown Princess looked like and whether she was as beautiful as the rumors said.

If the Crown Princess was alone today, she would naturally dare to raise her head. The Crown Princess's gentle character was known throughout the palace. As long as it was a trivial matter, the Crown Princess would not care. It was unique for such a noble master to have such a temperament.

But no one should think of stepping on the Crown Princess to gain the throne. The last person who thought so is already in a mass grave, waiting to be reincarnated. There are also some who did not abide by their duties, and they were all dealt with.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also issued an order that no one was allowed to gossip in front of the Crown Princess, otherwise they would be punished by having their tongues twisted. I'm afraid the Crown Princess still doesn't know how many palace maids died in her Biyuan in just a few days.

After the female doctor left, Aunt Lu sent Xiao Taozi to follow her to get the medicine.

Ning Rusong also took time out of his busy schedule to come here. He was about to leave. He stood up and said, "I am busy with official duties today, so I may not be able to accompany you. Yueyue, ask the palace maid to apply the medicine later."

"I'm gone alone."

He Yue nodded slowly, with a nasal tone, raised her eyes to look at him, and said timidly, "Your Highness, please go."

Seeing that he didn't leave, she added, "Your Highness, please take care of yourself and don't go to bed too late."

"Yeah." Ning Rushong nodded in agreement and left.

As the crisp woody scent faded away, He Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She covered her chest with one hand, only to find that her palms were covered in cold sweat. Her tense nerves relaxed and a huge panic swept over her.

Her acting skills are getting better and better, and she can even cry at will.

He Yue fell back and lay on her back on the bed, staring at the intricate and exquisite patterns on the bed curtains.

She raised her hand slightly, her pretty face turned pale. The longer she stayed in the East Palace, the more afraid she became of Ning Rushong.

The more you understand some things, the more terrifying they are. Ning Rushong is a fickle evil spirit inside, but you can't see it from his face.

"Since you asked me to travel through time, why didn't you give me a system?" He Yue couldn't help but murmured.

Then she laughed at her own words. She turned sideways, curled up slightly, and sighed, "Greedy."

Isn't this also her recognition of her inability to protect herself?

Cold sweat broke out on her back, and she pulled up the quilt to cover herself regardless, hoping to get some warmth.

Who doesn’t love wealth and splendor? He Yue loves it too. She is not aloof and can bend down to please others at the right time.

But this wealth and glory is like a sword hanging over one's head, which may fall at any time and chop He Yue into a pool of blood.

The heavy and complicated rules and regulations, and the punishments that could result in death, made He Yue even more afraid of this palace.

She can neither die for the so-called freedom nor integrate calmly and abandon the three views she has developed in the past twenty-one years. That is why she is even more depressed and barely survives in the cracks.

If only she were more aloof, if only she were more fawning.

That's just the way it is. That's exactly the way it is.

…………

The first heavy snow of winter fluttered down, and the white snow fell on the red tiles, as if they were wrapped in silver. The soft snow looked pure white.

This was a rare good sight for the master, but for the servants in the palace, it meant that life would become even more difficult.

Many roads in the palace were covered with ice. The palace servants poured hot water on them and then swept away the remaining ice with brooms. If they had no money or were not popular with their masters, they might not be able to use the hot water.

Biyuan reopened for greetings, and more than ten days later, the He sisters finally served the cup of tea that symbolized their status.

He Liangdi and He Liangyuan no longer had their previous arrogant look and looked much more haggard.

They knelt respectfully in front of He Yue and offered her tea with their hands stretched out.

"I pay my respects to the Crown Princess! Greetings, Crown Princess!"

The concubines of the Eastern Palace sitting on both sides were watching this great show. When the He sisters first came in, they looked so precious. With the Empress behind them and being the daughters of the He family, they were naturally very arrogant.

A few days ago, they were dissatisfied with the food allocated by the eunuch in charge and had a tantrum. That eunuch in charge was not someone to be trifled with. He and Eunuch Xiao Guanzi were from the same hometown, and they entered the palace together and supported each other. So the He sisters could only swallow their anger. Only they knew the taste of the food mixed with blood.

After being released from house arrest, Pan Chenghui snorted coldly and whispered, "What's the matter with He Shi? She's not as good as me, Chengwei."

She had been in the Eastern Palace for some years, so naturally she had her own team. Plus, she was the eldest daughter of the Pan family, so her life was not that difficult after being confined.

Only Pan Chenghui's personal maid heard this sentence. She was not surprised because the He family and the Pan family have always been mortal enemies.

He Yue took the tea from He Liangdi, the nail polish on her fingers was bright red, she still couldn't use the armor cover, so she simply didn't use it.

She tapped the cup with her fingers and said some polite words as usual, her tone steady and graceful, "After entering the East Palace, we are all sisters. We must support each other and serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wholeheartedly."

The concubines in the Eastern Palace, including the He sisters, were worried but served the prince wholeheartedly. They wanted to serve, but the prince would not go anywhere except the Bi Yuan. If the news in the Eastern Palace had not been strictly blocked and no one dared to spread it out of the palace, the censor would definitely have reported it.

He Yue took a sip of tea and put it down, "Get up."

She didn't want to make things difficult for him, as long as he didn't cause any trouble for her.
