Chapter 58: Daring to Destroy the Imperial Decree

  Ye Tianyi also saw Yun Qianyue and stopped in his tracks, standing at the palace gate looking at her.

  At this time, the sunlight was fierce, and the golden sunlight illuminated the entire Ronghua Palace, adding another layer of gold to the already magnificent Ronghua Palace. The flowers, grass, and trees in Ronghua Palace were all basking in the sunlight, with golden light flashing on the leaves and branches.

  Clouds shallow moon looked at Ye Tianyi, her gaze moved away from the imperial edict in his hand, and her slightly changed complexion was withdrawn without a trace. She quietly looked at him. It was here that they first met that year, he and Concubine Lan came to pay respects to the Empress Dowager, she pulled him out of Ronghua Palace. That year she was three years old, now she is almost fifteen years old, about twelve years have passed. He changed from a handsome little boy to a refined and elegant young man, the little boy who listened to her words that year has become a man who knows what he wants. No, maybe he was never one to listen to her words, maybe he always knew what he wanted, it's just that she misunderstood him, she should have understood five years ago. She withdrew her gaze, looked up at the sky, and saw that there were no clouds in the sky, the blue sky was spotless, she looked at the azure sky, and her heart suddenly became clear as a mirror.

  Her heart is small and can only hold one person!

  That person is Rong Jing!

  He had a crush on her from the moment they met, and even after she regained her memory, he still had a crush on her! But she was trapped in his cage, willing to be imprisoned by him, with no room for anyone else in her heart.

  Ye Tianyi stood still, gazing at Yun Qianyue. His handsome face was shrouded in the shadow cast by the door canopy, his expression enigmatic for a moment before he suddenly took a step forward. His footsteps were heavy, each one landing on the golden bricks of the Ronghua Palace's path, producing an almost unbearable faint sound that echoed clearly in the silent palace.

  Yun Qian Yue suddenly smiled and withdrew her gaze from the sky, looking at Ye Tian Yi who was walking towards her.

  Ye Tianyi arrived in front of Yun Qianyue, stopped his footsteps, opened the yellow scroll in his hand, and spoke in a low voice without looking at Yun Qianyue, "Yun Qianyue, accept the edict!"

  Yun Shallow Moon stood still, saying nothing, just looking at him.

  "Clouds are shallow and the moon is near!" Ye Tianyi said again in a low voice.

  The cloud is shallow and the moon is still standing still.

  "Yun Qianyue, do you want to defy the imperial edict?" Ye Tianyi raised his head and looked at Yun Qianyue, his eyes slightly dim.

  "Yè Tiān Yì, what are you trying to get me to accept with this blank imperial edict?" Yún Qiǎn Yuè raised an eyebrow at Yè Tiān Yì.

  "A blank imperial edict can hold many contents!" Ye Tianyi suddenly spread out the edict, and indeed saw that it was completely blank. He stretched out his hand to point at the empty space, saying in a deep voice: "Here can be written 'Granting you as my imperial son's consort'!"

  Yun Qian Yue suddenly smiled lightly, and after a moment, she withdrew her smile and looked at Ye Tian Yi seriously: "Ye Tian Yi, you should understand that the person I truly like in my heart is Rong Jing."

  "What am I then? Have I been your plaything all these years?" Night Sky raised an eyebrow.

  Yun Shallow Moon didn't respond to his words, and continued: "In the past, I've always been avoiding him. It's just that I'm too clear-headed and rational, knowing what it would mean if I were to like or fall in love with him. So, I controlled my emotions within reason, burying them deep down. But one day, I suddenly realized that my feelings for him had been buried too deeply, and accumulated too much, until they couldn't be contained anymore, overflowing when I finally came to my senses, faced reality, and was forced to bring these emotions out into the open."

  Ye Tianyi no longer spoke, staring fixedly at Yun Qianyue.

  "I initiated the Phoenix Tribulation, wanting to give him and me a chance. But did you know, this opportunity is not only for him and me, but also for you and me. The day before I initiated the Phoenix Tribulation, I didn't say a word to him, but I sent a letter to you, asking you to return to the capital as soon as possible. It was the same letter that Sixth Princess handed over to Rong Jing two days ago." Yun Shang Yue looked at Ye Tian Yi's gaze with a smile, but her tone was melancholic, "If there is even a slight possibility, the person I least want to fall in love with is Rong Jing. The person I most want to like is you. But how can I say it? We are ultimately fated to be shallow in affection."

  "Is our bond deep, but our love shallow?" Ye Tianyi sneered, "Moon, it was he who stopped me from returning to the capital! It was he who used all his cunning and clever means to make you treat him differently during your amnesia. Otherwise, if I had returned to the capital, you would have naturally treated me differently."

  "But you didn't come back, did you?" Yun Shangyue raised an eyebrow, looking at Ye Tianyi. "Tianyi, I've known you since childhood, and I know what kind of person you are. You think you're very important to me, so important that you can't lose me, but is that really true? Is it really like that?"

  "It's natural!" Yè Tiān Yì said without hesitation.

  "Think carefully again, think with your heart." Yun Qianyue looked at him and said softly: "Is it really like that?"

  "Don't think about it, it's only natural! I can fulfill the empress dowager's choice for you and be willing to be greatly unfilial. Moon, I clearly know how important you are in my heart." Ye Tian's eyebrows were firm and determined.

  "Wrong! I once thought I was important to you too. But facts always triumph over eloquence. In your heart, I am not as important as the throne, nor as important as the northern border you worked hard to establish, and not even as important as that Imperial Guard in your hand." Yun Shangyue smiled slightly.

  "Yue'er, I didn't expect you to distrust me so much? How have I treated you all these years? You actually still doubt my heart towards you? Is it just because you're now being misled by Rong Jing that you want to erase me?" Ye Tianyi looked at Yun Shangyue with a solemn face.

  "I don't distrust you, it's just that I understand you too well." Yun Shang Yue suddenly let out a long sigh, and it seemed like something in her heart was entwining and dissolving at the same time. After a moment, she continued: "Rong Jing indeed used clever schemes and cunning methods, even resorting to underhanded tactics. But why did you fall into his trap? It's because you couldn't bear to part with Beijiang, couldn't bear to give up the hard-won Beijiang that you had wrapped in your arms. You trusted too much in your position in my heart, were overly confident, thinking that even if you cleaned up the mess Rong Jing made in Beijiang and came back, I would still be waiting for you. But unexpectedly, you were two months late, which was an opportunity for Rong Jing."

  "What does this mean? Moon, the Northern Territory is not just mine alone, it's what we've worked hard for together. If I stopped Yong Jing from causing trouble in the Northern Territory, what's wrong with that? Do you want me to return empty-handed? All these years of effort, destroyed in an instant?" Ye Tianyi suddenly became somewhat agitated, his tone rising, a bit intense.

  "You should know what I want since you understand me!" Yun Shangyue looked at Ye Tianyi, her tone calm. "What I want is nothing but freedom and ease, unbound and unrestricted. I yearn for the vast world, the snow of Tianshan Mountain, the sunrise of Qixia Mountain, the lush cypress of Jiuhuan Mountain, the misty maze of Yunwu Mountain, Nanjiang, Beijiang, Nanliang, Xiyuan... I am not willing to be cooped up in the palace like a bird in a gilded cage. The powers of Beijiang, even the entire Beijiang, are nothing but fleeting clouds to me. What you value, I do not."

  "I protected the entire northern border, I became stronger, so you can be free and unrestrained under my wings." Ye Tianyi looked at Yun Qianyue with a heavy gaze, "Yue'er, you're just making excuses, looking for an excuse to leave me."

  "Even if I'm making excuses!" Yun Shang's smile turned into a sneer, "But Ye Tianyi, I've never easily let you return to the capital. If I did, it must be because something has happened. But you're being held back by Beijiang, not that you can't come back, but that you don't want to give up on Beijiang and return empty-handed. Have you ever thought, if I were dead, even if you became stronger, even if you owned the entire Beijiang, I would already be a handful of yellow earth, how could I still be free and unrestrained under your wings?"

  "How could you possibly die?" Ye Tianyi's face turned pale.

  "Is that so! In your eyes, I've always been invincible. How could I die? I lost my memory, and if Rong Jing hadn't intervened that day, I would have ended up in the Ministry of Justice's prison. I wouldn't have died, but suffering was a certainty." Yun Shangyue sneered coldly, unsure whether she was mocking herself or someone else. She looked at Ye Tianyi, her words dripping with sarcasm: "Ye Tianyi, I'm human too!"

  The night sky shook with a sudden movement of his body.

  "Is that so! I won't die! But I'll just lose my memory, it's not a big deal for you, is it? As long as I'm still alive, you naturally think I should be kept for you, right? Kept until the day you return." Yun Qianyue smiled lightly, "I've been exchanging letters with you for five years, mentioning all of Tian Sheng City and even people we know throughout the land, but never once mentioning Rong Jing. Did you ever wonder why? All these years, your heart has been set on bringing the Northern Territory under your control, how much weight do I truly hold in your heart? Is it so negligible that when you need me, I'll immediately appear? When you don't need me, you won't investigate anything about me? Are you so certain that I, Yun Qianyue, was born to devote myself to you, Ye Tianyi?"

  Yitian's face turned pale.

  "You might say that Rong Jing, who has been bedridden for ten years and hasn't stepped out of the house, is an unimportant person not worth mentioning. But is he really not worth mentioning? Or did you notice something unusual but didn't have time to consider me? Pretending not to know? If so, Ye Tianyi, can you still say without hesitation that I am important in your heart?" Yun Shangyue raised her eyebrows.

  Yitian's face was pale and her lips were pursed, she didn't say a word.

  "Actually, you know, I knew ten years ago that we were impossible! So, even if I was willing to help you with all my heart, I never had any intention of doing so." Yun Shangyue suddenly changed the subject.

  "Ten years ago?" Ye Tianyi looked at Yun Qianyue, narrowing his eyes.

  "Yes, ten years ago!" Yun Qianyue nodded and said lightly: "Ten years ago, I secretly replaced the residence of the Emperor that was originally arranged for you in the Chancellor's mansion with the one next to the Cloud King's mansion. At that time, I already knew that the next generation heir chosen by the Emperor was you, and the next generation empress was Qin Yuxin."

  Ye Tianyi was shocked and stared at Yun Qianyue in disbelief.

  Yun Shallow Moon slightly raised an eyebrow, "What? You don't believe me? But this is really true!"

  Yitian Yi withdrew his astonished expression and remained silent.

  "Your qualifications are the best among all the princes, like a piece of unblemished jade. Whether small or large, it will always shine with the most dazzling light among many jades. What kind of person is the Emperor? How can he not know which of his sons is the best? The Crown Prince Ye Tianqing did his best, but unfortunately, he was not destined for greatness. It's not that he didn't listen to the Emperor, nor that he didn't follow the rules, nor that he didn't guard his position as Crown Prince. It's just that his qualifications were not good enough. Even if he had done better, it would have been useless."

  Yun Shuoyue suddenly looked towards the gate of Ronghua Palace, her expression calm and collected, continuing: "Even if I was better, I am the legitimate daughter of Yunwangfu. This one identity alone has already determined that I am not suitable. So, at that time, I knew that Ye Tianqing and I were both abandoned children."

  Ye Tian's thin lips were tightly pursed.

  "At that time, I wanted to survive, so I had to give myself a protective umbrella. The Emperor would wait for you to grow up and train you into a qualified person to take over his throne, which takes time. So, Ye Tianqing will be stable as the crown prince for a long time, so he is my protective umbrella. The more he dislikes me, the more I follow him, letting everyone in the capital and even the whole world watch the show, including the Emperor. He enjoys watching it, thinking that I won't become a great talent and won't affect his plans. However, he was wrong about one thing - he didn't expect that I had been communicating with his most beloved son under his nose for five years."

  Yun Shueman suddenly smiled and continued: "Although I know we are impossible, it's not ruled out that one day this impossibility might become possible! But what really makes me think we're impossible is five years ago."

  "Five years ago?" Ye Tianyi looked at Yun Qianyue, and his fist in his sleeve suddenly clenched.

  "It was five years ago." Yun Qian Yue nodded, saying lightly: "Five years ago, you and I saw that scene in the hidden passage. Your choice made me realize that we couldn't be together. There wasn't a moment clearer than that one."

  "Why?" Ye Tianyi stared tightly at Yun Qianyue, "Because I'm cold-blooded and ruthless, didn't rush out to stop it? Watching the empress dowager and the entire Blue Clan die for me? You think I'm heartless and disappointed in me?"

  "That was Blue Concubine's own choice, a mother's expectation for her child is naturally to hope that they reach great heights. This can't be considered a reason. It's just that I know you aren't being forced or helpless on the path arranged by Blue Concubine, but rather your heart has always wanted that position. Regardless of Blue Concubine, whether she agrees or not, you still want it." Yun Shangyue shook her head and said.

  "Yes, you're not wrong. I do want that position. All I've ever wanted is to ascend to the throne one day and have you as my empress!" Ye Tianyi gazed at Yun Shangyue, "I've always wanted it to be you! Even if it means abandoning my mother, the queen!"

  "Even now, you still don't understand? What you want is imperial power. I'm just an important ornament on your path to imperial power. All these years, didn't you realize that the Emperor has been wanting to abolish Cloud King Manor, abolish me? We are impossible." Yun Shangyue shook her head.

  "How can it be impossible! As long as I become stronger, I want you, and even the Emperor cannot stop me! If I wholeheartedly like you, why can't the Rong Wang Fu prosper for another hundred years?" Ye Tianyi coldly snorted, "In short, you're just making excuses to leave me. But I'm telling you, it's impossible. My feelings for you are clear, no need for you to take them out and hurt me! Rong Jing is good to you, but that doesn't mean I'm worse than him!"

  Yun Shallow Moon suddenly stopped talking, she found that she had nothing more to say!

  "Bang, bang, bang", at this time, the gate of Ronghua Palace suddenly rang out three applause. Ye Tianyi quickly turned his head to look over. He saw Ye Tianqing standing at the door, his face gloomy, his eyes accumulating anger, his eyes narrowed, his handsome face restored its color, and he looked at him indifferently.

  "Seventh Brother and Moon Sister's words are truly brilliant! I came to Japan today to pay respects to Mother, but unexpectedly gained this unexpected harvest!" Ye Tianqing raised his steps and walked towards Ye Tianyi, his tone seemingly suppressing something from his chest, coldly saying: "Is Seventh Brother trying to get all the beauties of Jiangshan into his arms? Getting both fish and bear's paw at the same time? I didn't know that these years Father Emperor was actually paving the way for Seventh Brother as a stepping stone!"

  Ye Tian Yi didn't speak, his eyes gazing calmly at Ye Tian Qing.

  Yun Qian glanced at Ye Tianqing with a shallow moon, her eyes looking towards the purple bamboo in the corner of the wall. When Ye Tianqing came, she naturally knew it, but Ye Tianyi was confused by her words and didn't notice.

  "The Emperor surprisingly doted on Seventh Brother, and even gave him a blank imperial edict to fill in at will!" Ye Tian Qing looked at the imperial edict in Ye Tian Yi's hand, coldly smiling: "Seventh Brother wants to write what? Wanting Eldest Sister to marry you as an Imperial Princess Consort?"

  The night sky is silent and speechless.

  "Seventh brother, think carefully! Moon sister likes Jing Shizi, and her relationship with Jing Shizi is known to everyone under the sky. Can you bear the consequences of inserting yourself into this situation?" Ye Tianqing said again.

  "What else can't I bear?" Ye Tian's eyebrows rose, his tone indifferent. "The empress dowager was given a death sentence, the imperial clan was uprooted, and in these years, the crown prince has not sent fewer people to the northern border, with assassinations one after another. I dare not say that if the sky falls, I can hold it up, but this trivial edict, I can still bear it."

  "Who would have thought that Seventh Brother was so confident! Alright, I, the Crown Prince, will be a witness today. Seventh Brother, go ahead and read out the imperial edict! Since there is no one else present to listen in, it's best if Seventh Brother reads out this blank imperial edict, otherwise, none of you would believe it." Night Sky smiled slightly and stepped aside with his hands in his sleeves.

  The night sky is carefree and doesn't bother with worldly affairs, gazing at the shallow clouds and crescent moon.

  Yun Qian Yue no longer looked at him, but instead continued to gaze at the purple bamboo in the corner of the wall, thinking about what she should say and what she shouldn't. She had said things that she hadn't originally planned to say, but if she didn't reveal her true feelings, Ye Tian Yi would never understand and would only think that she had wronged him. If he really issued this blank imperial edict today, then the deep affection and mutual support they had shared over the years would all be for naught! If she could bring herself to be so ruthless, then she could also bring herself to be just as heartless.

  "Princess, if I were to issue this sacred decree, how would you react?" Ye Tianyi also followed Yun Qianyue's gaze towards the Purple Bamboo Forest, his eyes gloomy.

  "I'll destroy it!" Yun Qianyue said.

  "How dare you?" Ye Tianyi suddenly turned his head to look at Yun Shangyue, narrowing his eyes and saying in a deep voice: "The Emperor gave me this sacred decree, I can fill it out as I please, as long as I fill it out, it is the sacred decree. Do you know what crime it is to destroy the sacred decree?"

  "You dare to issue an imperial edict against me, I dare to destroy the imperial edict." Yun Qianyue looked at Zizhu, her voice clear and calm. "Destroying the imperial edict means annihilating nine clans? My nine clans seem to include my aunt and uncle too."

  "Moon, why are you forcing me?" Ye Tianyi suddenly took a step closer, standing one foot away from Yun Qianyue, his tall figure blocking the sunlight in front of her. His body was shrouded in dark clouds, his breath icy cold.

  "Yè Tiān Yì, it's you who forced me." Clouds Shallow Moon let out a soft sigh. "Must you really erase the friendship we've had since childhood and the years of supporting each other? I truly like Róng Jǐng, not just like, but love. I'm willing to give up all 15 years of memories and everything related to it for just one chance with him. If I liked you, I would have done so long ago, why wait this many years? Don't you really understand? Or do you not want to understand?"

  "I don't understand! Nor do I want to understand! Did you promise five years later that you would like me? Now, with just one sentence, 'I don't like' is enough?" Ye Tianyi suddenly slammed the imperial edict shut and shouted in anger.

  "I agreed with you, but liking is not equal to loving." Yun Qian said lightly.

  "What a liking is not equal to love!" Ye Tianyi suddenly swung his hand violently, and a gust of wind blew towards the purple bamboo in the corner of Ronghua Palace.

  Yun Shallow Moon stood still, she remembered that Rong Jing had said that the purple bamboo had gone through a hundred years, and had shed tears for many children of the Yun Wang Fu, it should be destroyed!

  "Seventh brother! This purple bamboo is Mother's beloved treasure, if you destroy it, Mother will be furious!" Night Sky Yi instantly reached out to stop Night Sky Yi. But his hand had just stretched out when it was opened by Night Sky Yi's swift and powerful aura, his face turned pale, and he retreated a step back.

  Even though Ye Tianyi was injured by Lao Dao's two kicks, he still wasn't a match for Ye Tianying. The purple bamboo in the corner was instantly wrapped in a strong gust of wind, and from the top of the bamboo pole, it turned black inch by inch. In an instant, the entire bamboo pole was black to its roots. A gust of wind came out, and the purple bamboo forest instantly turned into powder, blowing out of the Ronghua Palace.

  "Night Sky Leisure! You have a big nerve! How dare you destroy the purple bamboo in this palace!" The empress pushed open the door and rushed out, her face stern and slightly angry as she glared at Night Sky Leisure, shouting loudly.

  Yitian withdrew his hand, slowly turned around and saluted the empress with an expressionless face. "Mother, please calm down. I think that purple bamboo is too old, it's not good for the scenery of Ronghua Palace. Tomorrow, I'll order someone to plant a new one for you."

  The queen glared at him without saying a word.

  Yè Tiān Yì looked at Yuè Qiǎn Yuè, his face which had been gloomy all along suddenly changed, and he smiled, his voice warm, "Yuè ér, I'll keep this imperial edict for now. One day, you will willingly accept it from me. Or perhaps I will make you willing to accept this imperial edict!"

  Yun Shallow Moon didn't speak, pursed her lips and stared at him.

  "The Emperor said that the Empress Dowager has not been feeling well lately and needs to rest, so you don't have to live in the palace anymore! From today on, return to your residence. I will still be teaching you. Oh, the Emperor also said that Miss Qin is currently in the palace, and both you and Miss Qin are of yin blood, so it's better for Jing Shizi to use Miss Qin's blood every day. You don't have to go to the Imperial Hospital anymore!" Night Sky Yi finished speaking and saw Yun Shang Yue's expressionless face. He gave a farewell salute to the Empress Dowager, "I've disturbed you today, Your Majesty! I bid farewell!"

  The queen remained silent with a gloomy face.

  Ye Tianyi didn't think much of it, slowly turned around, took a step out of the Ronghua Palace, and never looked back. The yellow scroll in his hand was emitting a golden light, and the sacred edict symbolizing imperial power was being held by him so casually.

  Ye Tian's face turned gloomy as he watched Ye Tian Yi leave, his fist clenched in his sleeve, but he didn't say another word.

  Yue saw the night sky as he walked out of Ronghua Palace, and turned back to Empress with a low voice: "Auntie, that purple bamboo has gone through a hundred years of wind and rain, it's ruined just like that, it doesn't represent anything!"

  "I'm not sympathizing with Zi Zhu!" The empress let out a solemn aura, sighed, "I'm worried about you! Seventh prince is really...". She paused for a moment, glanced at Ye Tian Qing and changed the subject: "Isn't the crown prince confined in the mansion for reflection? Has His Majesty allowed you to leave the mansion?"

  "I was originally in the palace, reflecting on my mistakes. Yesterday, I heard that Her Majesty's body is not feeling well, and she had even driven out the Emperor from Ronghua Palace. So, I asked for an imperial decree with the Emperor, and he granted it to me. That's why I came over to see you, Your Majesty. First, I went to the Imperial Study Room, where I coincidentally ran into Seventh Brother asking for a decree. Later, something happened at Xishan Military Camp, which delayed me for a moment. Otherwise, I would have come to see you earlier!"

  "Hmm!" The queen nodded, "I'm fine! You don't have to worry."

  "As long as Mother is fine, I can rest assured!" Yè Tiān Qīng glanced at Yún Qiǎn Yuè and said, "I'll take my leave now!"

  "Go!" The queen waved her hand.

  After bowing and taking his leave, he turned around and slowly walked out of the Ronghua Palace.

  The queen gazed at the darkening sky as the figure disappeared from the palace gate, and she sighed, "This child grew up by my side, always following rules and conventions. Today, after hearing your conversation with the Seventh Prince, I'm afraid it's a huge blow to him!"

  "Night Sky isn't a fool, although I dare not confirm it, but roughly understood some things early on! It's just that there is still a hint of indulgence. " Yun Shangyue withdrew her gaze and lightly spat out a mouthful of turbid air, she had never known that facing Night Sky would be so exhausting, enough to peel off a layer of skin.

  "The moon... " The empress looked at Yun Qianyue, her eyes falling on the slightly tired little face and said: "I'm afraid that Seventh Prince is another First Ancestor Emperor! If so, you..."

  "Don't worry about me, Aunt! Even if he becomes the founding emperor, I'm not Empress Zhenji." Yun Shang smiled faintly. The rights and wrongs of the grudges from a hundred years ago, as well as how Empress Zhenji liked Rong Wang but was forced to marry into the Tian family, whether Rong Wang resisted or gave up after resisting, she didn't want to investigate or understand. She only knew that if she didn't want to, no one could force her, not even Ye Tianyi.

  The queen sighed and said in a low voice, "As long as you have a plan in mind! I think the seventh prince is more capable than the current emperor. If you want to get married with Jing Shizi, Ji and Guan after the grand wedding, it won't be easy."

  "This matter is still early! Auntie doesn't have to worry, I know what to do!" Yun Shangyue looked at the Empress and saw that her complexion wasn't very good. She remembered that Sun Nainai said she hadn't slept all night, so she immediately said: "Auntie go rest! I still need to be filial to you in the future! You must take care of your body well, only then can you see me and Rong Jing get married."

  "You and Jing Shizi are getting married! I hope I can wait for it!" The empress's expression eased a bit, asking: "And you? I see your complexion isn't too good either. Were you exhausted last night?"

  "Now that the Emperor has said I don't have to live in the palace, that's great! I didn't want to live here anyway. I'll just go back to my estate and sleep soundly in my own place." Yun Shangyue said.

  "All right! I'll order someone to prepare a carriage to send you back to your residence!" The empress nodded.

  "No need! Now Rong Jing's carriage should be waiting at the palace gate, I'll take his carriage back!" Yun Shang Yue stepped out of the palace.

  "Yue'er, your brother is still in my palace..." The empress was about to say this, but then held back and changed her tone.

  "It's nothing! He has a thick skin and can withstand it for one or two days." Yun Shallow Moon didn't even turn her head, just waved her hand.

  The queen didn't say another word, watching as she left the Ronghua Palace. She stood at the door for a moment before turning around and entering the inner palace. Inside the palace, Nan Ling looked up at her with big, pitiful eyes. She let out a sigh and said: "It serves you right! Just bear with it!"

  Nan Lingrui looked at her with a wronged expression.

  The queen no longer looked at Nan Lingrui, but turned to the bed and saw that Ye Qian had woken up at some point, staring at her with a pair of big eyes. She composed herself and smiled: "Princess Ye is awake?"

  "It turns out that the Seventh Prince also likes Yun Shangyue!" Ye Qian blurted out.

  The queen thought that the words of Ye Tian and Yue Er just now were probably all heard by this Princess Ye! She looked at Ye Qian, not speaking. This little princess seemed to like playing, but wasn't a simple person either. Otherwise, how could the King of Nanjiang be at ease with her coming alone to the Heavenly Sacred City?

  "Nan Lingrui, you really deserve it! You should be beaten for a few more days!" Ye Qian turned to Nan Lingrui, seeing his face sink, she raised an eyebrow at him, and suddenly pushed open the quilt and got out of bed. She said to the Empress: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for letting me sleep on the bed, I had a good rest. I'm leaving, you rest!"

  "Where is Lord Ye mainly going?" The empress looked at Ye Qian and glanced at Nan Lingrui.

  "I heard that the Junji Barracks are on fire! How can I not go and take a look at such excitement? I'm going to the Junji Barracks! No need to see me off." As soon as Ye Qian finished speaking, she had already exited the inner palace, her toes lightly tapping, and flew out of the Ronghua Palace.

  Nan Lingrui gazed at the doorway with a mixture of anger and hatred, where the pearl curtain swayed back and forth with a rustling sound.

  The queen glared at him, "You can continue sleeping! Offending Jing Shizi is one thing, but you've also offended Yuer! That little girl has been keeping a distance from Yun Mocheng all these years, she must have been secretly investigating you. She misses you so much, yet you don't miss her. No wonder she's angry."

  Nan Lingrui's face fell, wanting to say something but being choked back, not a word could be uttered. After struggling for a while, he closed his eyes dejectedly and fell asleep in an instant.

  The emperor smiled and looked at Nan Lingrui, saying that if he could sleep like this, the moon would be right. He was indeed tolerant.

  Yun Piao Yue left the Ronghua Palace and instructed a small eunuch guarding the door, "Later if Jing Shizi comes or sends someone to deliver a message, tell him I won't be going to the Taiyi Hospital! Go wait for him in the carriage at the palace gate."

  The little eunuch immediately responded.

  Yun Shallow Moon stepped towards the palace gate. Thinking that she didn't know what the old emperor wanted to do, he actually let Qin Yuxin replace her. Didn't the old emperor know that Qin Yuxin liked Rong Jing? How was that possible? She sneered and no matter what the old emperor wanted, she and Rong Jing were not afraid anyway.

  She arrived at the palace gate unimpeded, and Yun Shang Yue saw Rong Jing's carriage stopped there. There was no music in front of the car, she walked over and just about to lift the curtain, suddenly a cold killing intent came through the curtain towards her. Her face changed, and she instantly retreated backwards. She retreated quickly, but that cold killing intent didn't slow down either, and in an instant it had reached her heart.
