After this happened, Helian Xuan was in no mood to stay in the imperial farm, but returned to the palace that day.
After all, the prison not only held Duan Xilou, but also many people who were not allowed to see the light. The location of the prison was exposed, and Helian Xuan was in a state of panic for a while.
Eunuch Zhou came and said to Xiao Wuji, "You don't need to guard this place, Princess. His Majesty has something to ask the commander."
Xiao Wuji nodded and left quickly.
Eunuch Zhou said respectfully to Jiang Xue Ning, "His Majesty asked me to tell you a message - if you dare to run, I will kill everyone you care about."
"Your Majesty's intention is to let the princess recover from her injuries and prepare for her marriage."
After all, the wedding day was approaching, and she was under house arrest as the future queen, which inevitably aroused speculation. Moreover, a group of old playboys headed by Master Meng were originally opposed to this marriage.
In order to avoid complications, Helian Xuan swallowed his anger, gave her freedom, and lifted her house arrest.
Jiang Xue Ning said gently, "I understand."
Eunuch Zhou stepped down. This man was not someone to be trifled with. To get an answer of these three words, he had accomplished his mission.
The emperor left, and the others followed suit.
Qing He asked, "Princess, are we going back to the palace?"
"No, go back to Meilong Temple."
She did not plan to take any action until her wedding, and simply retreated to Meilon Temple to cultivate her body and mind.
As for Duan Xilou, she had already planned an escape route for him and would be responsible for the arrangement and execution.
After returning to Meilong Temple, he lay down for a day. That night, Ji Ci came in the dark, still looking like a scholar and pilgrim.
Because the Meilon Temple was well-known, there were many literati and pilgrims living in the temple, and he blended in with them without attracting any attention.
He said, "Congratulations, Princess, for getting what you wished for."
"I see your prince's sincerity." She glanced at the woman following him, "I wonder how the prince wants me to cooperate?"
Ji Ci sat down and said softly, "According to the rules, the queen can bring four maids into the palace. The prince's request is very simple, please ask the princess to bring her into the palace."
The woman he pointed at stood up and whispered, "My name is Ci Tang, and I'm good at imitating and disguising myself."
Relying on his strong ability to imitate and superb disguise, he often pretends to be someone else to carry out tasks.
Jiang Xue Ning understood instantly and cooperated, "The maids around me, Qing He and Cai Yue, often follow me in and out of the palace. It's easy to reveal flaws if I imitate them. I also have two other maids, Yun Ni and Que Ling."
Ci Tang said, "I will stay by the princess' side during this period and observe her carefully."
A consensus was reached quickly on this matter. Ci Tang stayed by her side as a little maid serving tea and water. When the time came, she would dress up as her big maid and follow her into the palace.
Jiang Xue Ning ordered Qing He, "Take her down to live in the same room with Que Ling."
Yun Ni is her chief steward, managing the palace's properties and farms for her. Recently, she has been busy selling them to make money and has no time to observe her.
Que Ling is a good cook and has learned some medical skills, so she has always been in charge of her food and the small kitchen.
Seeing that she agreed so readily, Ji Ci said tactfully, "Then I won't disturb the princess' rest."
Jiang Xue Ning didn't ask about Helian Mu's plan, nor did she ask what he would do after bringing the person in.
It doesn't matter to her because she just needs to achieve her goal.
In the palace, the matter of the secret prison had not been dealt with yet, and Zhongqiu hurried to the imperial study to ask for a meeting.
Helian Xuan asked with a headache, "What happened again?"
Zhongqiu knelt down, "The concubine Yue has had her bleeding. I have already called the imperial physician. The situation is not good. She is crying to see His Majesty."
Helian Xuan was a little impatient, but thinking of the child in her belly, he still went to Yuehua Palace. The lack of offspring has always been a concern for him.
The atmosphere in Yuehua Palace was gloomy. As soon as he entered, the palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground. Basins of blood were brought out from the inner room.
Helian Xuan frowned, feeling uncomfortable with the smell of blood.
"Ah! Ah! Ah..."
The room was filled with shrill cries from a woman, which made people's scalps numb.
About half an hour later, the imperial physician came out and knelt down sweating, "I am incompetent. The child could not be saved."
Helian Xuan didn't have much emotional ups and downs. He had heard this kind of words too many times. He was sad at first, but then he gradually became numb.
He walked in and saw Rouge, whose face was as white as paper, lying on the bed. The moment she saw him, she burst into tears and said in pain, "Your Majesty, the child is gone... Our child is gone..."
Helian Xuan just looked at her calmly and comforted her, "You are still young, take good care of yourself, you will have children in the future."
He used to hug and comfort the concubines who had lost their children, but now his heart has become as hard as iron and he is unmoved.
Yanzhi's eyes dimmed little by little as she looked at him eagerly, and she bit her lips in grievance.
Helian Xuan had no intention of staying, so he gave her a bunch of gifts to appease her, said "Have a good rest" and left.
Yanzhi finally couldn't hold back her sobs, "So this is the love of an emperor."
Such coldness is fleeting.
Helian Xuan was in a bad mood after all. He took Zhongqiu's hand and walked in the yard, "Do you think this is my retribution?"
Zhong Qiu said softly, "This is normal in the harem."
"Hahahaha." Helian Xuan laughed sarcastically, "This is the fate of an emperor. It's lonely and lonely at the top."
The ones he loved had all left him long ago. His mother favored her youngest son, and his brother, who was born to the same mother, wanted to dethrone him.
He seemed to be an emperor who had everything, but there was no one around him.
No, there were people who fought for him and risked their lives for him.
But that person was no longer there, having been killed by him.
There are some things and some people that you cannot think about too deeply, because thinking about them too deeply will drive you crazy.
He shifted his thoughts and glanced at Zhongqiu's belly. "Speaking of pampering, I pamper you the most. How come there is no news at all?"
Zhongqiu smiled and said, "Maybe I am not that lucky."
She didn't want to discuss this topic with him in depth, so she said softly, "It's late outside and the dew is heavy. Your Majesty, please go back. I will go see Concubine Yue and arrange the follow-up matters."
After Helian Xuan left, Zhongqiu stood alone in the yard for a long time before he said softly, "Being born into an imperial family is not necessarily a good thing."
How could she possibly give birth to Helian Xuan's child? So while she was determined to become his concubine, she had already taken the abortion soup.
She thought sarcastically that he was indeed a lonely man. The women in the harem who seemed to love him all had their own agenda. They just wanted to use his power as an emperor to climb up the social ladder.
Including her, she stayed with him not because of love but because of hatred.
He deserved all of this, it was all his own fault. He was the one who forced those who once truly loved him to death.
