Chen Ruhui fell on the road paved with blue bricks. She anxiously chased Nangong Ao, tripped by a small stone on the road, and rushed forward and fell to the ground. Fortunately, it was a cold weather, and the clothes she wore were all cotton coats, and she did not fall out of the broken skin, but her cheeks were scratched and her palms were cut.

"Empress Concubine!" Qiuxiang shouted with a sad face as she looked at Chen Ruhui who fell to the ground.

Chen Ruhui lay on the ground in a mess. Qiuxiang reached out to help her. She shook Qiuxiang and touched her hand, and started crying.

Nangong Ao, who had gotten out of the dragon chariot, stood not far away and looked at Chen Ruhui who was lying on the ground crying, but his mind was Chen Ruhui's smiling face in the past.

Nangong Ao knew Shen Ruhui when she was twelve years old. At that time, Chen Ruhui combed two small braids, and her black eyes would turn when she looked at people. When she looked at him, her eyes would shine. He would deliberately pull her braids, and she would raise her head, look at him cutely and smile, calling him, "Brother Ao!" her voice was sweet and glutinous.

So many years have passed, and the innocent and cute little girl who called him Brother Ao disappeared. In front of him, there was only a jealous and scheming Concubine Hui. He didn't like it, and didn't like her at all.

Nangong Ao stood in the biting cold wind, his dragon robe was filled with wind, and he could even hear the whirring sound of the wind blowing his clothes, and the sounds were as sharp as the crying sound of the deep and wise.

Standing there for a long time, his body was numb by the cold wind, and his mind began to become confused. He raised his feet unknowingly and took a step toward Chen Ruhui.

The devil came to Chen Ruhui's side, reached out and pulled Chen Ruhui, who was sitting on the ground crying, and said violently, "You are crazy, the frozen sky is sitting on this cold ground."

Listening to the domineering and angry voice in his ear, Chen Ruhui raised her face full of tears and shouted to Nangong Ao, "You don't care anymore, what else do I care about? You don't want me anymore, what's the point of living?"

Looking at Chen Ruhui who was making trouble in front of her, Nangong Ao shouted, "Go back to Yongshou Palace!"

When Chen Ruhui heard this, Gong Ao gritted her teeth and knocked her away. She immediately hugged Nangong Ao's arms with both hands, holding them pitifully, no longer the tantrum she had just made, and she didn't even dare to breathe.

Nangong Ao frowned and glanced at his arm that was wrapped around his hands like a branch. He looked at Chen Ruhui, who was trembling in the cold wind and said, "Let me go, go back to the palace first, don't make me angry anymore."

Chen Ruhui not only did not let go after hearing this, but instead tightened her arms holding him.

So many servants were watching. Even if Nangong Ao wanted to comfort Chen Ruhui, he would not be able to give her gentle words at this critical moment. If she made such a fuss, he would compromise. If all the concubines in the harem followed her, the harem would not be messed up. If that were the case, he would be completely majestic.

Seeing that Chen Ruhui was still moving, Nangong Ao swept his sharp eyes and said to Qiu Xiang, "Take your master back."

"Yes." Qiuxiang heard Leng Rubingshuang's order and immediately reached out to hold Chen Ruhui's arm, trying to pull her hand off Nangong Ao's arm.

"Don't make the emperor angry, so many people are there." Qiuxiang whispered in Shen Ruhui's ear.

Chen Ruhui remained silent, and looked at Nangong Ao with tears in her eyes. Her eyes were filled with sadness, and she choked softly, "Your Majesty, do you want Hui'er?"

The cold wind whistled past, and with this soft murmur from Chen Ruhui, it rushed into Nangong Ao's clothes, pierced his skin, pierced into his heart, and pulled it up with heartache. He once said that he would rather let the world down than let you down.

He remembered the vows clearly and did not want to violate them, but Chen Ruhui now forced him, which made him feel annoyed.

He reached out and wiped Shen Ruhui hard with her hand. He walked forward silently, leaving Chen Ruhui with a cold and frost-like back.

Chen Ruhui watched Nangong Ao strode forward, not caring about her standing in the cold wind, and she burst into tears.

Chen Ruhui stood there and watched Nangong Ao get on the dragon chariot. As the dragon chariot gradually moves in the cold wind, she clearly realized that Nangong Ao really didn't care about her back then. She really didn't understand why Nangong Ao suddenly became so ruthless to her.

Although she hated Ye Wange in her heart recently, she gritted her teeth, but she did nothing. Why was she so cold and ruthless towards her suddenly? Why did something happen to Nangong Ao Wen suspect that it was the ghost behind her that fell without asking.

At that time, Nangong Ao made a vow to her that even if he had to lose the world, he would not have to let her down Chen Ruhui in the end. But now, not only did he not let the world down, but he also let her down Chen Ruhui because of other women.

On that day, Chen Ruhui fell ill when she returned. The servant of Yongshou Palace went to Yangxin Palace to let Zhang Fugui report to the emperor that Concubine Hui fell ill.

Zhang Fugui was in a state of striking his heart when he heard this, thinking that the emperor was angry about Concubine Hui’s affairs today. The emperor was in the queen’s house now. I wonder if the emperor would be angry if he heard about Concubine Hui’s news.

Because Ye Wange was pregnant, she felt very tired all day long, so she lay on the phoenix couch and stopped staying.

Nangong Ao sat next to the phoenix couch, and Ye Wange leaned against him. Nangong Ao reached out and held Ye Wange's hand, looked at her and said, "Queen, thank you for your hard work!"

Ye Wange lowered her eyes and said shyly, "It is my blessing to have children for the emperor. It is too late to be happy and I don't feel it is hard to be happy."

Nangong Ao was also deeply relieved when he heard this. All he wanted was an obedient woman who would not cause trouble for him, but the queen was always very quiet and obedient.

"The emperor has something to worry about?" Ye Wange asked as she looked at Nangong Aoheng's cold eyebrows and looked depressed.

Nangong Ao's black eyes flashed with a glimmer of light and said, "Empress, there have been many affairs in the court recently, and the harem has been repeatedly uneasy, which really makes me physically and mentally exhausted."

When Nangong Ao mentioned the matter in the harem, Ye Wange naturally knew that he was talking about Concubine Liang and the Empress Dowager's condition. These things were related to her improper management of the head of the harem. She had to be held accountable and she could not escape the blame, so she apologized, "I am in charge of the harem and ask the emperor to punish her."

When Nangong Ao heard Ye Wange apologizing for him and being punished, he added a little more to Ye Wange's good impression.

When something happened, Ye Wange always looked for the reasons from herself and never put the blame on others. This practice of self-examination first made Nangong Ao very appreciative of saying that people are wrong.

Nangong Ao believes that Ye Wange is generous in this way and has the style of being a mistress in the family. She handles things in a way that is not the right person. She never seeks personal fraud, but stands in a high position but never seeks benefits for herself.

When he came to her, she would say it every day. The other sisters in the palace were also waiting for the emperor. The emperor could not neglect other sisters and let him go to the palace to walk around, so that the concubines in each palace could get the emperor's hearts and care, so that there would be less conspiracy to fight for favor.

"Your Majesty, punish me!" Seeing that Nangong Ao did not speak, Ye Wange said again.

Nangong Ao held Ye Wange's hand tightly, looked at her recently thin chin and said, "I, how can I bear to punish you?"

Hearing Nangong Ao's tone of pampering and distressing towards her, Ye Wange lowered her eyes and hid the disdain in her black eyes.

"I am dereliction of duty and deserve to be punished." Ye Wange said lightly, paused, and she spoke again, "I respect and love these concubines in the harem as much as their sisters. I usually have no restrictions on their words and actions. Now there is such a thing that makes the emperor upset, and I am trusted by the emperor."

Ye Wange's blind self-blame made Nangong Ao feel unbearable when he heard it. He did not deliberately blame her for what happened in the harem, but just mentioned many things that troubled him. In his original intention, he did not want to blame her for negligence in the management of the harem.

"I don't mean to blame the queen. The queen is kind-hearted, I understand." Nangong Ao reached out and hugged Ye Wange, who was blaming himself, into his arms.

Ye Wange's face lay on his chest, and said in a choked voice, "It's my bad, it's my tolerance for them, and indulging them in the absence of their own moral integrity. I will definitely strictly control it in the future and will never let such indecent things happen in the harem again."

"Okay!" Nangong Ao responded lightly, and then said, "Sir, have you visited the queen recently?"

When Ye Wange heard Nangong Ao mention her father, she raised her head and left Nangong Ao's arms. Looking at Nangong Ao thinking about him, he saw his thoughts, but his calm face made her unable to see any thoughts.

Ye Wange did not see Nangong Ao's intention of mentioning Ye Changyu, so he replied indifferently, "I've been here! I heard that I'm pregnant, come and congratulate me!"

"The Prime Minister works hard for the country and for my royal family. He is determined." Nangong Ao said lightly.

Ye Wange listened to Nangong Ao's praises and thought carefully about the purpose of the words.

Before she could think about it, Nangong Ao spoke again, "The treasury has been empty recently. I ordered Lord Shen to collect taxes. Who knew that the tax could not be collected for a long time. The prefects of the cities below refused to pay it on the grounds that the tax could not be collected. Therefore, I will send Prime Minister Ye and Lord Shen to visit these cities recently and collect the taxes."

"Oh." Ye Wange responded faintly. Nangong Ao usually did not talk about affairs in the court. Today, he seemed to be deliberately guiding her to tell her about affairs in the court to listen to her. She didn't understand what he meant and what he was thinking.

Nangong Ao looked at Ye Wange and observed her thoughts. Seeing that she was indifferent and indifferent to the matter, he raised his mouth and said, "A total of fifteen cities have been confiscated. I will hand over the eight cities south of Eicheng to Prime Minister Ye and the seven cities north of Eicheng to Lord Shen."
