The twilight was dim outside the stained glass window, with only a few palace lanterns still lit. He Yue put the embroidery stand aside, half straightened her body, the hem of her dress with gold embroidery patterns swaying, and she stretched out her white hands to close the stained glass window.

A ray of moonlight poured down on her fair neck and thin shoulders.

"Didn't anyone warn you?" He Yue's gentle and deep gaze rested on Mo'er's beautiful face.

The Crown Princess, who respected Hua Lin, did not show any expression he wanted to see. She asked calmly and gently, her voice peaceful.

"What?" Moli's voice was hoarse, his mind was rigid, and the tone of his voice was a little strange, which was the pronunciation commonly used by Lan Guo.

He Yue leaned down slightly and glanced at his dazed expression. He had a face that made people feel extremely pitiful, and he looked extremely timid.

"Little Guanzi or Little Taozi, didn't they warn you not to tell me?"

Princess He's face was calm, but her eyes were filled with deep compassion and weariness. Moer racked her brains to describe her accurately. She was like a clay Buddha crossing a river, with a helpless kindness.

"Aunt Tao said it before I gave me the wooden box, and Eunuch Guan said it again after I gave me the wooden box." Moer replied in a low voice.

He was somewhat disappointed that He was too calm, but he could not avoid being gripped by her heavy and dark eyes. She looked very tired.

"Yeah." He Yue was not surprised by his answer. She just reached out and stroked his hair. "Then why did you tell me? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Moer felt her gentle and soft palm, and this hand also held the knife and stabbed into his chest. He lowered his eyes to her gorgeous palace dress, "I don't want to hide it from the Crown Princess. I am the Crown Princess's servant, not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

His words were sincere. He Yue smiled lightly and withdrew her hand, not knowing how much she believed him.

She picked up the embroidery stand again, and placed one of her free hands on the embroidery book to compare the embroidery pattern. She said indifferently, "Mo'er, you must learn to pretend to be deaf and dumb in order to save your life in the East Palace. What's the point of being a loyal servant of mine? This East Palace is the prince's East Palace."

In a sense, the Crown Princess also belongs to the Crown Prince and is placed in a place in the East Palace.

He Yue suddenly felt a headache and her eyes became blurry. She couldn't even see the embroidery clearly. Xiao Lizi was dead. She was so young that she would still be a child in modern times. She didn't expect Ning Rushong to take Xiao Lizi's life.

Hatred creates sin, and she is the invisible executioner. She has to bear most of the karma.

Xiao Taozi came back with a ball of brand new embroidery thread. She knelt on the other side of He Yue and put the thread in the embroidery basket. She said with joy, "Crown Princess, it happens that we still have this color in the storeroom. We don't have to ask the eunuch in charge to get it. It saves a lot of trouble."

"I'm tired of embroidering, please put the items away." He Yue still couldn't see clearly, her head was buzzing, so she simply put down the embroidery frame in her hand without struggling.

"Yes, Princess." Xiao Taozi put the scattered things into the embroidery basket without any comment.

She was a palace maid who was more submissive than Mammy Lu and more respectful than Xiao Lizi, so among the one managing mammy and two senior palace maids, she was the only one who stayed safely in the Biyuan and became the only senior palace maid. From then on, there was no palace maid in the Biyuan who was more respectable than her.

"Squeak..." The stained glass window was propped up, and He Yue leaned against the window. The cold night wind made her mind clearer. She stretched her arm out of the window. There was enough moisture outside, and her sleeves were wet.

She missed Lijia Village. She missed Aunt Fang who owed her money, Uncle Li who pulled the ox cart at the entrance of the village, and even Li Xiaoshu.

She didn't want to embroider, she wanted to sell rouge and be a mercenary businessman.

He Yue has never had any big ambitions, and she cannot be or do well the role of Crown Princess He.

"Xiao Lizi is still young, and I feel a little regretful for sending her back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Xiao Taozi, please go visit her on my behalf tomorrow." He Yue whispered with her back to Xiao Taozi.

The cat over there started to make a fuss again, showing an attitude of being spoiled, but he was held tightly in Mo'er's arms and couldn't move. Stupid cat, he's not afraid even of a tiger.

Xiao Taozi's hands moved smoothly, and she put everything in order in a short while. She said respectfully, "Eunuch Guan knows that you, the Crown Princess, have always doted on Xiao Lizi, so he had already made arrangements and found a good place for her. He assigned her to Concubine Zhang in the palace outside the palace. Concubine Zhang is a very kind person."

He Yue closed her eyes, leaned her head against the window, and said in a gentle tone, "It would be nice to have a good place to go."

Xiao Taozi smiled, "Don't worry, Crown Princess."

Moer, who was kneeling in the corner and stroking the cat, suddenly felt that Crown Princess He was somewhat pitiful and sympathetic.

She is also pretending to be deaf and dumb, day after day, year after year. Wouldn't she feel depressed and melancholy?
