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

It was past noon. He Yue looked out through the stained glass window, tapped her index finger on the storybook, and after a moment's deliberation, she said, "It's a little late today, so we have to hurry. Xia Suling isn't feeling well, so let's ask her to come tomorrow."

Xia Suling is a person who can be seen to be frail at first glance, but even so, she still has an appearance of being as beautiful as a sick beauty.

The light from outside poured into the hall through the stained glass windows. He Yue was dazzled for a moment and she half-closed her eyes and tears came out.

Nanny Lu hurried forward to close the stained glass window. When she saw He Yue raised her hand, she quickly helped her up. Xiao Lizi watched from the side, then lowered her head in grievance. She was obviously also a senior palace maid who served closely, but Nanny Lu always took the lead in serving.

"Meow~" Xiaoliu rubbed Xiaolizi's sleeve with his claws, hanging his tail lazily.

Xiao Lizi frowned. She had to call even a beast "master", and this beast had taken away almost all the attention and favor of the Crown Princess as soon as he arrived.

When she came back to work this time, she had an inexplicable feeling that the Crown Princess seemed more gentle and kind, but in fact she was much colder towards her.

He Yue walked around the screen and sat in front of the desk. Her slender back was naturally straightened. She looked up at Xiao Taozi and instructed, "Go to the warehouse and pick out some precious medicinal herbs and plain fabrics and send them to the Bai Mansion."

She spoke slowly, "Just give the reward in the name of the Crown Princess, and you can also warn them, so that the people in the Bai Mansion don't look down on and humiliate Xia Suling."

He Yue sighed slightly, with a hint of bitterness on her beautiful face. She tapped the table lightly with her fingers, "I hope Li Xiaoshu won't get stuck in a dead end and focus on dealing with Xia Suling. She has already received an imperial decree. Let's leave her a way out."

He Yue thinks she is not qualified to judge Li Xiaoshu's behavior. There is nothing wrong with her pursuing wealth and glory. In her eyes, Xia Suling is indeed a natural barrier, and it is natural for her to want to break it for her own benefit.

No one has to be kind. He Yue sincerely felt that if she opened her heart, it would not be in vain and would be a mess. Didn't she disregard the lives of all the palace maids in the East Palace for her own benefit?

The maid from the kitchen brought in a bowl of warm, fragrant glutinous soup. Madam Lu took it and carefully placed it on the table. "Crown Princess, the soup is ready."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not care about food, and the kitchen emphasizes neither merit nor demerit, but He Yue loves to eat, so they find new ways to cook every day. This fragrant glutinous rice soup is He Yue's favorite soup in recent days.

He Yue picked up the bowl, stirred the soup with a spoon for a few times, then scooped up a small spoonful and put it into her mouth. She frowned and said blankly, "I don't know why, but I feel a little nauseous."

The spoon was put down, and she picked up the teacup that Xiao Taozi had brought to her in time, took a sip, and her expression relaxed.

Nanny Lu was standing nearby, her mind racing, and a look of joy appeared on her face. She clapped her hands excitedly, "Oh! Crown Princess, your period is three days late!"

He Yue's menstruation has always been regular. The more Aunt Lu thinks about it, the more it makes sense. Could she be pregnant? !

"boom!"

When He Yue heard this, she stood up in shock, and her sleeve swept over the white porcelain bowl, which fell to the ground and splashed the hem of her dress.

"Be careful, Crown Princess!" Xiao Lizi put Xiao Liu in the arms of a second-class palace maid in horror, and quickly helped He Yue sit on the other side of the desk.

Xiao Taozi squatted down and picked up all the fragments and put them on the serving tray. She carefully checked and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that there were no fragments left. She signaled with her eyes to other palace maids to clean the place.

He Yue naturally understood the hidden meaning of Lu Ma's words. She did not feel the slightest joy, but only felt a chill on her back and was frightened and panicked. She covered her chest with a handkerchief and her face was pale.

She sat there, her head dizzy, her legs weak, and even her breathing was painful.

He Yue was so frightened that she forgot to disguise her expression. She looked not happy at all. Nanny Lu knelt on the ground and naturally restrained her joyful expression. She just held one of He Yue's hands.

He Yue's hands were extremely cold, and cold sweat oozed from her palms. Madam Lu stared at her panicked eyes and said earnestly, "Crown Princess, your period is three days late. Go call the imperial physician to check your pulse. If you are really pregnant, this will be a great joy!"

"I know my own body condition." He Yue closed her eyes in pain, her lips were pale and bloodless. She rubbed her forehead with her other free hand and said in a firm tone, "You don't need to call the imperial physician, and you don't need to tell His Highness. I am not pregnant."

Her voice was slightly tired. "In a few days, my period will come naturally. You are worrying too much."

Whenever she thought about being pregnant, she felt terrified, as if there was a knife against her abdomen, which could cause her great pain and panic without even having to go in.

She did not have any love for Ning Rushong. All her gentle behavior was due to her fear of his power. Moreover, she had no reason to like him at all.

She was originally going to marry someone else, and her life would be plain but warm. She wouldn't have to deal with women craving for favor all day long, and she wouldn't have to worry about Ning Rushong losing interest in her one day, leaving her to be swallowed up by the treacherous conspiracy in the backyard.

The He sisters and Pan Chenghui were born into noble families with pretty faces, but now they are in a miserable state. However, they have noble families behind them, and if they had not done anything wrong, Ning Rushong would not have taken their lives. Moreover, if Pan Chenghui did not have the Pan family behind him, Empress He would not have just punished Pan Chenghui to kneel for a few hours.

But what does He Yue have? She has nothing but a face that still has good color, but the color will fade and will gradually age with time.

While she was surrounded by enormous wealth and splendor, there was also a sharp dagger placed across her neck, making her feel uneasy all day long.

"Crown Princess..." Nanny Lu wanted to persuade her. If she was really pregnant, both the eldest son and daughter would be the Crown Prince's first child.

He Yue suddenly opened her eyes, her expression cold and indifferent, leaving no room for maneuver, "Is what I said useless in Madam's eyes?"

Her light words made Madam Lu shut up in time and kneel on the ground to plead guilty, "I dare not!"

He Yue looked listless the entire afternoon today. The palace maids in Biyuan did not dare to say much as they did in the past and were very cautious in everything they did.

At night, Ning Rushong, who was originally handling government affairs outside the palace, hurried to Biyuan in the wind and frost. The palace servants in Biyuan all knelt down in panic.

"See His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Xiao Guanzi lifted the curtain of the inner hall. He Yue looked at Ning Rushong, and his gaze shifted. He suddenly found him and then the imperial physician who was taking the medicine box.

He Yue thought that her words were really useless and only made people laugh.
