"good."

...

Recalling the scene of saying goodbye to him, her heart ached as if it were being torn apart: "I should have tried my best to stop you from going. Now, where can your mother find you?"

...

As Ye Liming stood by the window, he burned the note in his hand to ashes, and his furrowed brows relaxed.

Just then, a commotion arose outside the door. He frowned and asked, "Eunuch Song, what's going on outside?"

"Your Majesty, that is Juan'er, Consort Mo's personal maid. She's been insisting on seeing you!"

Ye Liming was startled, but his face remained angry: "I want to see what kind of trouble she'll cause!"

"yes!"

Juan'er was being trampled underfoot by several eunuchs. A bright yellow hem of her dress came into view. Juan'er struggled to lift her head, grabbed the hem of his dress, and pleaded, "Your Majesty, this servant begs you, may I ask you to go and see Consort Mo?"

"She has been locked in her room and crying for a long time. I'm afraid she'll ruin her eyes if she keeps crying."

Just as a hint of reluctance appeared in Ye Liming's eyes, he saw Su Wan'er walking towards him in the distance and stepped on the back of her hand.

"Does someone as lowly as you think you can order me around?"

"How dare you! Why don't you immediately apologize to the Emperor?" Su Wan'er shouted sternly.

Then, feigning concern, he pleaded on Juan'er's behalf, saying, "Your Majesty, you should go and see Consort Mo!"

"Although she did something wrong, and Prince Anyang talked back to you like that, even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. Consort Mo must be in great pain at this time after losing her loved one."

This wasn't persuasion at all; it was clearly kicking him while he was down!

"My beloved concubine is truly kind-hearted."

"Then I will go see her for your sake. You rest here for a while, and I will be back soon."

"yes!"

"Xiao Cui, you go with the Emperor and take the ginseng soup to Consort Mo while you're at it!"

"Yes, this servant will certainly deliver it!"

...

As soon as Ye Liming stepped into the courtyard, he saw all the maids being driven out, their faces filled with panic.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Where is Consort Mo?" he asked.

The palace maid pointed to a large, leaking water vat, and at that moment he already had a bad feeling.

He looked up and saw Consort Mo sitting on the ground with her hair disheveled and her face blank.

Her face was streaked with tears, and she looked extremely pitiful.

Juan'er knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Consort Mo just tried to commit suicide by jumping into the vat, but fortunately this servant reacted quickly!"

"Your Majesty, please save the Imperial Concubine!"

Ye Liming knelt down and gently brushed the hair away from her face, his movements extremely tender.

Looking at her, it seemed as if I had returned to the past, to that beautiful time.

He sighed, somewhat regretfully, "If only I had known this would happen!"

"We are no longer who we used to be."

While everyone else was completely bewildered, she understood. She raised her head, grabbed his collar with a look of resentment, and cried out as if she had gone mad, "How can you be so reckless!"

"Don't you have a heart? He's a piece of your own flesh and blood!"

Her expression was extremely fierce, as if she wanted to tear him to pieces.

"Consort Mo, this is unacceptable!" Eunuch Song ordered his men to pull her away, but she only tightened her grip, determined not to let go even at the cost of her life.

"You'll go to hell!"

"You'll go to hell!"

Ye Liming waved for them to let go, then took her hand and said with some self-reproach, "It is I who failed to take good care of Sheng'er."

"I will definitely apologize to him!"

Consort Mo sat on the ground, completely stunned, unable to stop crying: "Sheng'er, if only you were born into an ordinary family."

Juan'er pulled her up from the ground with heartache: "Your Highness, the Prince will worry if you are sick. How about I take you to change your clothes?"

Consort Mo glared fiercely at the spot where he had left and said, "I will definitely live well and watch you apologize to Sheng'er with a smile."

She stood up and said, "Juan'er, please boil some bath water for me."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

After leaving Consort Mo's place, Xiao Cui came to report to Su Wan'er!

"How is it?" she asked eagerly.
