Du Yuqing could not hear anything clearly. She could only hug Du Xue instinctively, unwilling to return to the palace.

But suddenly, a sharp pain came from her recently healed buttocks. The pain made her arms lose their strength. Just as she let go of her hands, her body went numb and she collapsed limply to the ground.

"Hua Xiujin!" Because she was being held by Du Yuqing, Du Xue didn't have the time to stop Hua Xiujin's quick and fierce slap. Immediately, her face turned ashen as she ruthlessly sent a palm strike towards Hua Xiujin.

"Alright." Lan Yi's figure flashed as he opened Du Xue's palm, "Fight for the sake of a sinner's daughter. Du Xue, restrain yourself!"

Lili stood behind Lan Yi and innocently said, "Xue Hou, I just want Master Lan Yi to report back to me as soon as possible. After all, Xiaoxiao is with me, so if the king blames anyone, the Marquis Jin Mansion will bear the responsibility."

"Lan Yi, Xiaoxiao, she …" Could you immediately summon the royal doctor to treat her once you return to the palace? " Du Xue didn't want to talk to Hua Xiujin anymore. Afraid that she would be angered again, she immediately asked the man in front of her.

"Du Xue, take care of yourself. The matters of the palace are not things that you and I can take care of." Lan Yi slightly frowned and reminded him, "Also, if Wang knew that you were at the Wu Steel Manor tonight …" "Anyway, you better pray for yourself."

"But, Xiaoxiao's injuries are not light. If she isn't treated soon, I'm afraid …"

"Those whom the King does not wish to keep, will definitely not live another moment." Lan Yi interrupted Du Xue's words and said calmly, "How can we let someone who has been left behind die without permission? "Du Xue, as expected, you are so worried."

Du Xue turned around with a pale face, looking at Du Yuqing who was taken out of the cave by Palace Maid.

Yes, he was confused.

It was as if she was still hugging her waist tightly. A few tears were still on her clothes, her palms were still hot from the heat …

He couldn't help but want to rush over and hug her again to give her a warm and quiet life.

But... He could become enemies with the world, but he could not become enemies with that man.

Du Yuxi... They were the deities of this world, and no one dared to hold the heads of the nine clans against them.

"Du Xue, you're not staying for breakfast?" Hua Xiujin asked enthusiastically when she saw Du Xue walking out without a word.

"Old Master Jin, you should calm down. Du Xue will be leaving tomorrow. The one who worries the most is Su Xiaoxiao. But you, you tormented the little girl the whole night until she couldn't take it anymore." Lan Yi turned around and scolded Hua Xiujin. He didn't even put Marquis Jin, who was favored by the empress dowager, on a high seat as he scolded her.

They were the eight great imperial guards. Aside from the King, there was no one else in their eyes.

"It's not all because of me. Xue Hou just randomly pointed out her acupoints and the poison attacked her heart. The physicians of Marquis Jin's residence were busy all night too. How pitiful." Hua Xiujin pointed at her watery peach blossom eyes in grievance. "Look, I didn't sleep well either …"

"I can't be bothered with you!" Lan Yi shook his head, then turned around and walked out as well, "I'm going back to report. You better take care of yourself."

"You don't need to order breakfast?" Hua Xiujin pursed her lips into a smile and raised her voice, "This marquis won't be sending you off anymore. I often bring your brother to Marquis Jin's residence, so I miss Lan Feng and Zi Yuan. When they return to the palace, you have to inform me …"

Under the bright yellow glazed roof tiles, there was only one corner that was dusky and without any signs of life.

This was Du Yuqing's palace.

Lying on the bed, she was feeling dizzy and feverish as she randomly called out for her parents and grandparents. Her skin was burning hot and she had managed to ruin two of her maids and attendants.

"Xiuju, do you want to … Should I report this to Big Palace Maid and invite the royal doctors to treat it? " Mei Xin worriedly wiped Du Yuqing's forehead with a handkerchief soaked in cold water.

She couldn't turn her body. Her butt was injured, so she could only lie on the bed and mumble nonsense. Her appearance was as pitiful as it could be.

"You want to be punished again?" "This morning, the two aunts sent their mistress back. How could they not know that she was injured? But the two aunts didn't say anything, and you still dared to report to her ladyship?"

"But, if something happens to Master and Long Yan gets angry, who can take responsibility?" Mei Xin asked as she waved her arm.

The other three went silent. This was not an easy matter to deal with, they did not want to be punished along with him.

The four of them were helpless and could only serve Du Yuqing wholeheartedly, hoping that her fever would soon subside.

After Du Yuxi finished handling government affairs, it was rare for him to have time to accompany the empress dowager on a tour of the imperial garden.

In the spring of April, the imperial garden was filled with flowers, which were exceptionally bright and beautiful.

As for the beauties of the different palaces, they all came out to admire the flower as well, each of them dressed meticulously. For a time, the beautiful scenery reflected in the sky lit up the entire imperial garden with an auspicious and auspicious aura.

"Your Majesty... "Look at the king …" A few beauties stood by the flowers with flushed cheeks. The handsome men who didn't dare approach the empress dowager's side stole glances at them one after another. They seemed to be admiring the flowers, but their eyes were all swaying in response to the man.

The imperial harem of Yuxuan's dynasty seemed free, but was filled with rules and regulations.

But as long as you remember the most basic rule, you will live a peaceful life.

Back Courtyard Beauty could freely enter and leave this enormous imperial garden. Aside from Imperial Study, Heaven and Earth Palace, Sun Moon Pavilion, and Zhaolu Palace, beauties could come and go freely within the palaces. The entire imperial harem was also quite lively.

It was just a matter of scheming and scheming. Du Yuxi must not see it, otherwise, regardless of whether the beauty was the daughter of a official or the general's niece, on the second day, she would definitely disappear.

It was not like the beauties had never seen Du Yuxi's ruthless and merciless methods before. Therefore, everyone was filled with deep reverence and adoration towards the king.

He wanted to catch his attention and gain his favor, but he didn't dare to do anything out of line to attract his attention.

One had to know that with just a casual sweep of his eyes, this beauty might have accepted the kindness from Zhaolu Palace tonight, or might even disappear the next day.

"The empress dowager is blessed and well! Long live the king!" Wherever Du Yuxi and the empress dowager went, all they could hear was the chirping of birds and the fragrant scent of flowers. Everything was peaceful and peaceful.

"Wang, This Dowager wants to summon a few High Monks to lecture on the scriptures." The empress dowager was supported by Old Palace Maid as she walked slowly.

"Today, I will send someone to welcome the High Monk and prepare a good place to stay." Du Yuxi's dark eyes casually swept over the corner of the long corridor.

"Let's stay in the buddhist hall. There is no need for outsiders to be too extravagant." The empress dowager smiled.

"Yes." Du Yuxi replied with a smile. He turned around and looked at Mo Yang, who was behind him.

With just a faint glance, Mo Yang immediately understood what was going on. He turned his head slightly without leaving a trace and whispered to the green jade beside him.

Hua Gai and Xiuju didn't expect their luck to be so bad. They wanted to get some medicine for their master, but before they reached the imperial dispensary, they saw the empress dowager and a large group of concubines all admiring the flowers in the imperial garden.

Seeing that there were so many people around, the two of them immediately hid and tried to slip away.

Just as he was about to leave, a familiar voice rang out from behind him. "This is Palace Maid from Chimu Palace. Why did she come here?"

Xiuju's face was downcast. This was bad, they had met one of the imperial palace's commanders, Qingyu.

"This servant pays her respect to Lady Qingyu." Xiuju hurriedly pulled Hua Dao along to bow to Qing Yu. Xiuju performed the proper etiquette; she was completely kneeling on the ground with her palm on the ground and her forehead pressed against the back of her hand.

The Chimu Palace had an unwritten palace rule: Palace Maid and her master were not allowed to take even half a step out of the palace without being summoned.

Because the Chimu Palace … It was because she was out of favour or had committed a grave mistake that she was able to "go free" here, just like a cold palace.

Hua Gai also knelt down obediently on the ground, but he heaved a sigh of relief inside. Luckily, he didn't meet Sir Mo Yang. Among these eight guards, Qing Yu, Lv Ying and Zi Yuan were a bit gentler.

"Answer my question." Qingyu looked at the two trembling Palace Maid and frowned. Could it be something had happened to her Chimu Palace?
