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

I spent a sleepless night filled with worry and anxiety.

It is true that He Yue has always been a person who can regulate her mood, but when one hardship after another piled up, her heartstrings were forced to tighten inch by inch, causing her to almost have a splitting headache.

From the beginning to the end, she was just an ordinary person who cherished her life and money, but Ning Rushong was an overly frightening and intimidating person in power. Power seeped into his bones and permeated his every move. It took too much effort to be hypocritical in front of such a person.

Ning Rushong had left early. He had to deal with too many things related to the Pan family. After this incident, the He family would become the only dominant family in the court. This was both good and bad. Before he ascended the throne, the He family was a help, but after he ascended the throne, they would become a hindrance. How to find a balance between the two still needed to be slowly discussed.

Blood and power are intertwined, and humanity and greed are blurred.

He Yue took a few bites of her breakfast before taking a nap in a recliner under the ancient tree in the Biyuan courtyard. She couldn't think about it anymore. Ning Rushong didn't deserve her like this.

Cursing the man a few more times in your heart will help you live longer and feel better. The turtle is a bastard and Ning Rushong is a dog.

Moer stopped in the corridor holding Xiaoliu, looking at He Yue under the ancient tree, regret was in her beautiful fox eyes. She had found out some things today. It turned out that He was forced to marry back to the East Palace by the prince. What was so special about her that made the crown prince lose his composure and disregard his dignity.

The gaze shifted, and under the ancient tree, there was He with her eyes closed. She was wearing a plain silk dress made of palace satin, with gorgeous pearls and jade on her temples. Her face was elegant and beautiful, and she was as cold as snow. She was a rare and precious beauty.

At the other end of the corridor, Xiao Taozi walked hurriedly with a heavy expression. Seeing Mo'er staring at the Crown Princess disrespectfully, she turned around and scolded softly, "How insolent! You have no manners."

Moer quickly lowered her head and said timidly, "Aunt Tao, I know I was wrong."

Rules, rules, rules! That's so frustrating!

Xiao Taozi obviously had something important to do. She cursed and left. She walked quickly to He Yue, calmed down for a few seconds, regulated her rapid breathing, and then knelt on the ground, bowed her head and said respectfully, "It is a capital crime for me to disturb the Crown Princess's rest, but the Queen has sent someone to invite the Crown Princess to Kunning Palace to discuss your wedding with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The wedding of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess is scheduled for this winter, but the specific time and rules have not been decided. It is reasonable for Empress He to ask the Crown Princess to discuss the matter.

He Yue frowned slightly, opened her eyes, and raised her arm. Xiao Taozi hurriedly stood up and bent over to support her. "The Crown Princess' sedan chair is already waiting at the palace gate."

"Send someone to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." He Yue's tone was flat and cold. It was troublesome. She just wanted to lie under the ancient tree for a day. When she was bored, she would ask Moer to dance for her. This was called making the best use of things. She couldn't let her years of dancing skills go to waste.

Xiao Taozi bowed her head and said, "Yes, Crown Princess."

"Ah!" Xiao Taozi had only taken a few steps and was about to send someone to pass the message when she was hit in the knee by a stone from nowhere. She staggered and fell to the ground, looking very miserable.

"Meow~Meow~" Xiao Liu called lazily in Mo'er's arms, his snow-white ears twitching.

Stupid cat! Moer stroked Xiaoliu as if nothing had to do with him, but when she raised her head, she looked into the elegant and cold eyes of the Crown Princess He, and his hand trembled slightly.

…………

The sedan chair was heading towards Kunning Palace. He Yue sat on it, the expensive pearls and jade in her hair swaying slightly.

She tapped the armrests with her nail polish-painted slender fingers and sighed softly, "Be more careful next time, or it will be too late to invite trouble. The people in the palace, especially the senior maids around the master, are almost all cunning people."

Xiao Taozi injured her leg, so He Yue asked Moer to follow her.

Moer knew she had been discovered, but she was not ashamed. She just said, "She always uses the rules to suppress me. I overstepped the boundaries because I was angry. I will never dare to do that again next time."

If you dare to do it again next time, he doesn’t believe that He will stand up for Xiao Taozi.

"Without rules, you will be the next little pear." He Yue said this and stopped talking to him.

The sedan chair stopped at the gate of Kunning Palace. Moer was about to help He Yue get off the sedan chair, but she dodged him.

Moer withdrew her arm, complaining in her heart, he doesn't even need help!

When He Yue entered the inner hall of Kunning Palace, Moer behind her was stopped by a eunuch.

"The Queen will only see you, the Crown Princess."

He Yue looked surprised. Queen He was going to cause trouble. "Why?"

The eunuch bent over with a humble attitude and answered the question irrelevantly, "Before the Crown Princess came, she must have sent someone to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so don't worry."

He Yue could only leave Moer outside and went into the inner hall of Kunning Palace alone.

She paused and looked at Emperor Jingmu who was sitting in front of the desk. Her eyes moved around but there was no sign of Empress He.

"Your Majesty, your son is here to pay his respects. I wonder what your Majesty means by this?" He Yue asked while kneeling down.

Why did Emperor Jingmu want to meet her in such a roundabout way, and why did Empress He agree to let him do so? At this moment, He Yue's mind was filled with great confusion.

On the table was a Taoist scripture with a few pages turned. Emperor Jingmu was fiddling with Taoist prayer beads in his hand. His brows were calm and calm. He looked at He Yue, stopped what he was doing, put the prayer beads back on his wrist, and said in a clear and gentle voice, "Sit down."

He Yue stared at Emperor Jingmu, unable to see anything, so she could only sit in front of him with dignity.

"The wedding is about to be put on the agenda, are you willing?" Emperor Jingmu asked her after closing the Taoist scripture.

Emperor Jingmu's tone was clear and graceful, and his expression was calm, as if there was still room for improvement.

He Yue's breathing gradually became heavier, her heartbeat slowly stagnated, she raised her eyes, "Is it okay if you don't want to?"

She felt as if an apple coated with poison was hanging in front of her, trapping her as the prey. The apple was within her reach, but it was fraught with hidden dangers.

"Of course you can." Emperor Jingmu picked up the teacup, wiped the rim of the cup with the lid, and his voice was pure and relaxed.
