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

The carriage was moving slowly on the steep road of Mo Village, and it was a bit bumpy. He Yue huddled in Ning Rushong's arms, feeling a little listless, and her beautiful face turned slightly pale.

She was feeling heavy-hearted and afraid of revealing any clues, so she closed her eyes and half-slept.

Ning Rusong put one hand around her waist and rubbed her hair with the other, and said slowly, "Are you feeling very uncomfortable?"

He was naturally stern and sharp in appearance, and even when he spoke softly, there was no hint of gentleness in his voice.

"The road was bumpy and my stomach felt a little uncomfortable." He Yue still didn't open her eyes and replied in a slightly weak voice.

In fact, it was a double pressure of psychological and physical pressure. She still didn't quite believe that Ning Rushong would let her go so easily.

"It's good to go back to the palace." Ning Rushong used his right index finger to lift up the loose hair that hung in front of He Yue and slowly hooked it behind her delicate ear.

He lowered his head and looked at He Yue Shuyan's face in his arms. She frowned pitifully.

Ning Rushong felt a little sarcastic in his heart. Why didn't she dare to look at him now? She was acting like an ostrich.

His slightly cold fingers were placed on He Yue's face, slowly moving downwards, and finally stopping at her slender neck. He looked at her shivering body with cold eyes. He suddenly felt that it was not a bad ending for He Yue to break apart in his arms.

He Yue felt the vague danger around her neck and her body trembled violently. She didn't dare to open her eyes and pretended not to notice anything.

In fact, everything has a traceable path. Ning Rushong felt the trembling under his fingers expressionlessly. He knew that he was a little out of control, but he did not want to and would not hurt He Yue. He just wanted to see He Yue's fearful expression. Only when she was afraid would she be obedient. Blind indulgence would only make her climb up the ladder, lose her sense of propriety and reverence.

His feelings towards He Yue could no longer be summed up as just a little bit of liking for him; things were heading in an unpredictable direction.

Ning Rushong has always maintained an indifferent attitude towards love. He doesn't want and is unwilling to be involved in it even a little bit. He has seen too many people who have changed for the so-called love.

My mother was such a proud person that for the sake of my father, she was willing to endure a palace maid becoming the Royal Concubine of Yue, and even tolerated the birth of the eldest son of the illegitimate emperor.

Bai Huixian was obsessed with power and threw away his conscience and dignity, but he was unwilling to divorce his useless wife. He spent most of the silver he earned on buying medicinal herbs.

It seems as if they cannot survive without the other person. Once they fall in love, they will tear off half of their own soul and offer it to the other person, regardless of whether the other person is willing or not, they will just get close to him/her, insisting on having their own way and being obsessed.

Ridiculous, absurd.

"Your Highness." He Yue pretended to be unaware and put her arms around Ning Rushong's neck, her warm breath falling on his skin.

Ning Rusong slid his fingers to the side, hooked the straps of the cloak, and slightly tightened it, wrapping He Yue tightly and airtightly. His voice was gentle, "It's cold in winter, don't catch a cold."

"Well, thank you, Your Highness." He Yue responded in a muffled voice.

She felt a slight chill on her back, only because she had just broken out in a cold sweat. She was afraid that Ning Rushong would grab her throat and then strangle her. She had no doubt that he would do such a thing!

The two most important things in her life are her life and money. Only with a life can she save money.

Yuncheng was very large, and the carriage traveled all night, returning to the East Palace at noon the next day.

Noon was when the sun was at its hottest. The snow began to dissipate, leaving water marks on the ground. The palace servants wiped them diligently with cloth. The land was more precious than them.

Recently, due to the disappearance of the Crown Princess, the entire Biyuan has been in an extremely depressing atmosphere. They don't want to find a new master. There is no master who is easier to serve than the Crown Princess. She never punishes anyone on her own initiative and her temperament is extremely peaceful.

A third-class palace maid was sweeping the floor. When she looked up, she saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming back with the Crown Princess. She quickly knelt down and said in a respectful and joyful voice, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Greetings to the Crown Princess!"

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Greetings to the Crown Princess!" The palace servants in the Biyuan all put down their work and knelt down to greet the emperor.

Aunt Lu was even more tearful. She couldn't eat or sleep well these days. The fate of a master and his personal servants are often linked. If something happens to the master, the personal servant will not have a good ending. Even if he finds a new master, he can only become an ordinary servant, not as glorious and respectable as he is now.

Ning Rushong put He Yue on the bed in the bedroom. She was worried and sad all night and only fell asleep in the morning. She didn't wake up yet.

He took off He Yue's shoes and socks, held her left foot in his hand, and looked down at the slightly hideous wound.

Nanny Lu stood by the bed and exclaimed, "What happened to the Crown Princess? How could she be injured so badly?"

"I'll call the female doctor, old slave."

Ning Rushong nodded, and Nanny Lu quickly walked out of the hall.

After a while, the female doctor came hurriedly with a medical box. She was wearing thick clothes and was sweating profusely. She wiped her sweat casually with her sleeves. Nanny Lu followed behind.

Before the female doctor could kneel down to pay her respects, she heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince order her to come over and see the patient.

"Yes!" The female doctor walked to the bedside and knelt down. This time she didn't need to ask, she could tell where the Crown Princess was injured.

She looked at the wound for a while, and the burden on her heart dropped. "It's not bad, it's not bad. The Crown Princess should have applied medicine before, so it hasn't gotten too bad. Next, bandage it, change the medicine frequently every day, and rest in bed for a few days. Don't move around too much."

The female doctor asked for a basin of clean water and gauze, took out medicine from the medicine box and re-bandaged the Crown Princess's wound.

"Madame Lu, please come out with me." Ning Rushong raised his eyes, stood up, and walked slowly out of the hall.

"Yes, Your Highness." With a terrified mood, Madam Lu followed Ning Rushong out of the hall with a hunched back.

No palace servant could remain calm in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the most common emotion was fear.

Ning Rusong sat on a sandalwood chair outside the palace, his fingers slowly twirling the jade ring on his thumb. He spoke slowly, "How are the two palace maids?"

He naturally knew that Empress He had issued an imperial decree to protect Bai Huixian and the others, and the two palace maids also saved their lives. It must be said that they were lucky.

Madam Lu knelt respectfully on the ground, thinking of the tragic scene of Xiao Taozi and Xiao Li being carried back to Biyuan with blood and wounds all over their bodies. She shuddered and answered honestly, "They can't walk for the time being. They are half dead."

Ning Rusong didn't even raise his eyelids, his cold and handsome face was expressionless. He said casually, "Your master is kind-hearted. Tell those two palace maids to go to her and cry miserably."

Ning Rusong then sneered and put the jade ring back on, "After all, she has truly softened her heart towards you. Your future life will be easier."

Ma Lu knelt on the ground and heard the Crown Prince say something that made her hair stand on end and she plunged into the icy pond.

"If those two maids developed resentment and disloyalty towards the Crown Princess because of the punishment they received, then you should have dealt with them secretly."

The tone was calm and unhurried.
