The next day, Pan Chenghui was hastily buried as a criminal without even a special tombstone.

He Yue was stunned for a moment when she heard the news in Changxin Hall. She glanced at Ning Rusong who was holding her in his arms and said in a flat voice, "Why is it so sudden? Why was she buried as a criminal?"

Ning Rusong took He Yue's hand and let her nail-painted fingers tap on the back of his hand. He spoke calmly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter. "Hanging yourself is a serious crime. Yueyue doesn't have to care. Since she did this, she already knew what her fate would be."

People have to pay for their actions. Death cannot solve everything, it only leaves resentment.

In the final analysis, Pan Chenghui's suicide letter was an expression of her resentment to the prince that she dared not say in normal times. She had held these words in her heart for too long, but as she said, the prince was a naturally cold and indifferent person, and he did not care at all about her reluctance before her death.

He Yue stopped talking and snuggled in his arms, flipping through the storybook in her hands, while Ning Rushong looked at the memorials presented by the subordinates. The two of them were very close to each other, like a perfect couple made in heaven.

After a while, He Yue straightened up, broke away from Ning Rushong's arms, opened the stained glass window, and looked at the colorful flowers outside that were competing with each other for beauty. She leaned on the window, with her beautiful and white right hand stretched out, and the notebook in her hand was dangling in the air, almost out of her control.

"It's already March, and the vernal equinox will be in a few days. Time flies." He Yue's voice was soft and tender.

Get well soon, six months will be over soon.

Ning Rusong put down the memorial in his hand, his handsome face showing warmth and gentleness. He looked up at He Yue and said, "Hurry up, the Ministry of Rites is already working on the rules. Our wedding will be here in winter."

This wedding needs to be made up. He, Yueyue, Ning Rushong and He Yue should spend the weekend together.

In a spacious room, Xiao Guanzi sat in the head seat, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, drinking it slowly, with a comfortable expression on his handsome face. A young eunuch half-knelt on the ground and massaged his legs.

"Eunuch Guan, we have brought you the palace maids you requested!" A shrill voice came from the doorway, "They are all well-behaved and stable."

Although the Crown Princess does not live in the Bi Courtyard now, the Bi Courtyard still needs a large number of palace servants to take care of daily cleaning and arrangements. The Crown Princess brought Xiao Taozi and Moli with her to Changxin Palace, and Xiao Guanzi had to add some more palace servants. The Crown Princess is a noble person who needs meticulous service and cannot be sloppy.

"Come in and let us see." Xiao Guanzi raised his leg and gently kicked the young eunuch who was kneeling on the ground massaging his legs. The young eunuch quickly stood up and stood aside.

The eunuch in charge led in a row of palace maids, all of whom bowed their heads respectfully.

"Lift your face up." Xiao Guanzi took a sip of tea slowly. He didn't want the ones that were too pretty, and he certainly didn't want the ones that were too ugly either.

"Yes, Eunuch Guan." The palace maids all raised their fresh faces, looking quite young.

Xiao Guanzi raised his eyebrows and said in a puzzled tone, "Hey, why is there another one so young? Can he serve people?"

He put the cup aside and came to the shortest palace maid. He lifted her face with the handle of the whisk. She looked no more than thirteen years old.

The eunuch in charge bowed his waist and said flatteringly, "This is a maid who just entered the Eastern Palace. She has not been to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and has only been learning the rules in the Eastern Palace for half a month."

"She was presented to us by Lord Bai's mansion. They said she was a poor person who knew the Crown Princess, so we accepted her."

"Which family are you from?" Xiao Guanzi asked the palace maid in front of him. Ha! Poor people, who are slaves are all miserable people, but since they are involved with the Crown Princess, he must ask clearly.

"I am from Lijia Village in Min County." Li Momo replied tremblingly. She didn't know any Crown Princess at all. How could such an honorable person have even the slightest relationship with her?

But Lord Bai said she knew him, and Li Xiaoshu, who had become an official's wife, also said she knew him, so they sent her into the East Palace.

Xiao Guanzi glanced at the eunuch in charge, and the eunuch nodded repeatedly, "We have checked our family, and our family affairs are innocent."

"Yes, that's the one I want." Xiao Guanzi put away his whisk and selected four more palace maids, making a total of five people.

"Alas!" The eunuch in charge kept the person Xiao Guanzi pointed out and took the rest away.

The remaining four palace maids were taken by the young eunuch to Changxin Palace to serve. Only Li Momo was left alone to face Xiao Guanzi. Her young face could not hide her worries. Fear was about to overflow and her hands were shaking.

Xiao Guanzi sneered, sat back down, put his hand on the armrest and nonchalantly tapped the whisk, "Do you know a boss who sells rouge?"

He was certainly not worthy of addressing the Crown Princess by her name.

Li Momo nodded hurriedly, clasping her hands together. She knew the owner of the rouge shop, "I know a boss named He."

"How is the relationship?" Xiao Guanzi asked.

Li Momo replied in a dry voice, "Boss He is very kind to me. I treat her as my sister."

She was a miserable person. She had a sick brother, so she started earning money early by selling embroidery and herbal medicines. Boss He always helped her. He was a kind-hearted man with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

"Sister, you are not worthy." Xiao Guanzi sneered and glanced at her, "Come on, come with us to see the Crown Princess."

"A slave is a slave. You must know your duty."
