When Huan Yue woke up in the morning, he saw that it was drizzling.

The Eastern Palace is about to get busy again; that young lady from the Di family is coming.

However, this has nothing to do with Huan Yue; the Di family will handle it themselves. Huan Yue won't interfere.

It was raining, cold, and dark, so she could stay in bed for two days until the rain stopped before going out.

The room is very comfortable, and the quilt is quite nice.

The Pei family's dowry wasn't this good; the Eastern Palace didn't skimp on the expenses given to the Crown Princess.

Regardless of whether the Crown Prince's Palace is short of money, at least they did their job.

So the fake heiress was quite a handful, having to protect the Crown Prince on one hand, and dealing with the endless troubles from the Pei family on the other.

Huan Yue eagerly awaited General Lü's intervention. As long as it wasn't the Crown Prince who made the move, everything would be fine.

Even if the Pei family shamelessly comes looking for us, will the Crown Prince follow suit? That depends on whether the Pei family has that much face.

If it's a white moonlight, then it should exist.

Chaoyun came over and helped Huiqing dress up the lady, making her look beautiful and fragrant.

Huan Yue thought the palace was full of beauties, a feast for the eyes. The Eastern Palace was also quite nice, with women who were well-maintained and beautiful.

Does Huiqing think Chaoyun has something on her mind?

Chaoyun said to the Empress, "The Crown Prince previously had four imperial attendants bestowed by the Empress, but His Highness never paid any attention to them. They wish to come and pay their respects to Your Highness. How does Your Highness arrange for them?"

Huan Yue thought for a moment: "Is it absolutely necessary to meet him?"

Chaoyun nodded firmly, "Don't pretend to be sick: This is Your Highness's duty."

Huan Yue looked outside and saw that the wind was blowing. Fortunately, there was a corridor leading out from the back hall.

Chaoyun said, "Let's meet at Qing'e Palace. Change your clothes after breakfast."

Huan Yue said coquettishly, "You're such a busybody, managing everyone so perfectly."

Chao Yun was overjoyed: "Aren't we servants here to serve Your Highness?"

Huan Yue's voice was quite sweet when he acted out the scene: "Then you'll have to take good care of me, because my illness won't get better anytime soon."

Chaoyun, Huiqing, and the others were all looking at her. How long was she going to keep up this act of being sick?

Huan Yue held his head, thinking, "Can I pretend forever? Aside from her superhuman strength, she's probably best at being sick."

I didn't learn much else from the renowned physician, but I saw many patients and gained some insights into different treatment methods.

Of course, it doesn't matter what illness a beautiful woman has; beauty is all that matters.

The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment. Was Her Highness going to take this route? It wasn't like this when she was in the Pei family.

Could it be that if she were to move to the palace, she would choose this path? Feigning illness is certainly a good option, even though the Empress doesn't have to do many things, she still has a lot to do.

The palace maid didn't care. She pretended to be sick so as not to cause trouble for anyone.

If the patient is groaning or acting spoiled, then they still need to be taken care of.

Huan Yue plans to practice Baduanjin, but the venue is not ready yet.

She probably has no real talent for medicine, but she's quite good at practicing the Eight-Section Brocade exercises. (She was personally taught by a renowned physician.)

I'm feeling good right now and eating a lot, so I can train again in a few days.

The illness may have suddenly appeared in my past life, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't live a good life just because I might suddenly fall ill. That doesn't make sense.

Besides, the illness can be cured, although it can be very painful at times, so it's better to give a quick and painless treatment.

But people are never truly happy; they are destined to live like this.

Huan Yue was about to go out.

The palace maids quickly helped her put on a cloak. Although it was just a trip to the adjacent side room, the wind was indeed cold.

The light was dim, and when Huan Yue went outside, he was startled! What was that bastard doing here so early? Was he pretending to be a ghost?

Even if you're coming to eat, is it really necessary to come this early? Coming in the wind and rain, is there no food left up ahead? It's good that he brings his meals over every day. Perhaps eating alone isn't enjoyable?

He also had subordinate officials such as tutors, so he was never lonely.

I'd rather not have dinner with my white moonlight (my ideal woman), but coming here is a no-go.

Xie Zhou wore a cloak, but the cold weather didn't diminish his imposing presence. His deep eyes were fixed on his wife; there was plenty of drama to unfold this early in the morning.

Was it because his memories of his past life were truly hazy? He hadn't noticed this side of her.

Perhaps without the Pei family's suppression, this is how she would be.

Many people are forced into this situation, so his wife is letting loose here?

Ji came over and said tremblingly, "Qi didn't make it through last night."

Huan Yue said, "Didn't I show it to her yesterday?"

The young palace maid sighed, "She's too delicate."

Huan Yue said, "I was meddling in other people's business. If I hadn't interfered, she might have been alright."

The young palace maid sighed, "This is fate."

Xie Zhou didn't realize that this charming palace maid was also a master of drama.

Since the Qi family didn't survive, then they should be dealt with.

Huan Yue was surprised. This scoundrel was going to help her deal with it? She wondered if the Pei family would dare to argue with him.

Xie Zhou said, "If the Pei family were clever, they should be afraid."

Huan Yue said, "Does Your Highness still expect the Pei family to be clever?"

That makes perfect sense. Xie Zhou took the lead and went into the east wing.

It's not that bad now, but compared to the last days of my previous life, it's much better.

Yu Yan chimed in, "Could it be that the Dong family wants the Pei family's servants to make a big scene?"

Xie Zhou said coldly, "Given the way the Pei family operates, making a scene would only make things clearer for everyone. So if the Pei family had even a brain, they should have dealt with it. It was originally their business."

The Pei family should be most afraid of a conflict. How can they be so self-righteous about deceiving the emperor?

Even Chang Ziyu isn't enough.

So, the Pei family can continue to live a cowardly and treacherous life.

Xie Zhou looked at his wife. Was she clever enough to know how to get close to the Crown Prince?

Huan Yue said, "If all the servants of the Pei family dare to cause trouble, then everyone will know that someone is behind them."

Some people want to use a few lowly servants from the Pei family to deal with the Crown Prince. The key question is what the current emperor will think.

The decision to abolish or establish a new regime is ultimately made today.

Huan Yue might as well eat. Oh, and by the way, he asked that scoundrel, "What are you planning to do with those imperial attendants?"
