Murong Yue originally thought that the Queen Mother summoned her into the palace because of Yuwen Ran's matter, and she had already prepared an excuse in her mind, but after arriving at the palace, she found that something was wrong.
"Princess, have you been doing well these days?" The Queen Mother changed her attitude and said to Murong Yun with a smile.
Murong Yue didn't understand the Queen Mother's attitude, but nodded hesitantly with a smile on her face, "Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother. Ah Yue is doing well in the palace."
"That's good. I have been worried about Prince Xiang's affairs these past few days. I don't know what sin I have committed to give birth to such a troublesome son." The Queen Mother seemed to be complaining in a very bad mood, but in fact, she was staring at Murong Yue's expression from the corner of her eyes.
Why would he mention Prince Xiang for no reason? Murong Yue's heart was alarmed when she thought of this. She was also very alert when she spoke to the Queen Mother. "Don't worry, Queen Mother. You will surely have great fortune in the future."
"But if the princess is willing to help me, I may be blessed with great fortune." The Queen Mother looked at Murong Yue with eyes full of hope.
Could it be that she wanted to marry Prince Xiang? But the Queen Mother had just promised her to marry Yuwen Ran, and now she's changed her mind after just a few days. Murong Yue's face suddenly turned grim. "Thank you for your kindness, Queen Mother, but love can't be forced. I'm afraid that Ah Yue will let you down."
Murong Yue refused completely, but this would make the Queen Mother unhappy. If Murong Yue did not agree, Prince Xiang would definitely not give up, which would make the situation difficult.
"In fact, Prince Xiang was also raised by me. Although he does things a little inappropriately, he is still a good person." I hope you will not be ungrateful. The Queen Mother's eyes gradually became sharp, with a sense of coercion.
A surge of anger surged in Murong Yue's heart, but she was still in the Queen Mother's palace after all, so she had to suppress the anger in her heart, "Ayue understands, Ayue also hopes that the King of Xiang can find his true love as soon as possible."
The implicit meaning of the words was nothing more than a rejection of Prince Xiang. Prince Xiang, who had already left, did not know when he would return to the Queen Mother's bedroom.
As luck would have it, he happened to hear what Murong Yue said. He was immediately filled with anger and pushed the door open.
Seeing that it was Prince Xiang, Murong Yue shrank back and her expression became unnatural. "Since Prince Xiang has something to discuss with the Queen Mother, then A Yue will withdraw first."
"Why are you in such a hurry? I came here specifically to find you." King Xiang looked at Murong Yue's delicate face, and an evil thought arose in his mind.
The Queen Mother also turned a blind eye and pretended not to hear.
Seeing the obscenity in Prince Xiang's eyes, Murong Yue couldn't help but wrap her clothes tightly and took a step back. "Prince Xiang, you are joking. You two can chat first. I'm leaving first."
Murong Yue was about to run out the door, but she was pulled back by King Xiang. The door was completely closed by King Xiang. Murong Yue swallowed her saliva helplessly, with panic in her eyes, "You...what are you going to do? Queen Dowager, Queen Dowager!"
But the Queen Mother seemed not to hear anything. Instead, she was helped out by her servants, leaving the two of them alone in the room.
Murong Yue was desperate at this moment, crying out to heaven and earth but getting no response.
The Queen Mother was still lying on the chaise longue in the courtyard, guarding the door of the room.
At this moment, Gu Yanyue appeared in front of the Queen Mother's room, holding cinnamon tea in her hand. Seeing the Queen Mother lying on the chaise longue in the courtyard, she was still a little confused. "Greetings to the Queen Mother. I specially brewed cinnamon tea and brought it to you."
The Queen Mother opened her eyes and glanced at Gu Yanyue calmly, "Put it down. I'll drink it in a moment."
But she never let Gu Yanyue into the room. Gu Yanyue felt a little confused and her eyes unconsciously looked towards the door of the room, only to see that the door was closed.
Suddenly, there was a sound of something breaking inside. Gu Yanyue looked towards the room and asked the Queen Mother tentatively, "Is there anyone in the Queen Mother's room?"
"Maybe the cat broke the porcelain. It's not a big deal. If Madam Zhenguo is alright, please leave first!"
The more anxious the Queen Mother was about asking Gu Yanyue to leave, the more confused Gu Yanyue became. She always felt a little uneasy. She hesitated for a while, and while the Queen Mother wasn't paying attention, she quickly ran towards her room.
When the Queen Mother and the maid behind her found out, they hurried to stop them, but it was too late. Gu Yanyue had already opened the door to the room. Inside, Murong Yue, who was disheveled, was holding a piece of debris in her hand, trying to commit suicide.
Gu Yanyue didn't have time to think about it, and quickly stopped Murong Yue's behavior and pulled Murong Yue out. But how could the King of Xiang let her go? He tried to pull Murong Yue from Gu Yanyue's hand again, but Gu Yanyue slapped the King of Xiang in the face. "I thought the King of Xiang was just a little fickle, and if he corrected himself in the future, he could achieve something. But now it seems that the King of Xiang is really disgusting."
After saying this, Gu Yanyue pulled the dazed Murong Yue away. When passing by the empress dowager, Gu Yanyue looked at her thoughtfully.
Gu Yanyue took off an outer coat, carefully put it on Murong Yue, and led her back to her bedroom.
Murong Yue didn't say a word from beginning to end, as if she was frightened. Gu Yanyue could only hug her gently and comfort her in a gentle voice.
"It's all my fault. If I had gone a little earlier, maybe I could have taken you away first." Gu Yanyue actually felt a little guilty.
After hearing this, Murong Yue laughed at herself, "How can I blame you? If you hadn't rescued me, I would have fallen into the tiger's mouth now."
But even so, what's the point? In Murong Yue's country, women's behavior is extremely harsh. Even if the two are not actually husband and wife, as long as the woman's clothes are disheveled and she is seen by the man, she must marry the man.
Even though she was a princess, she could not escape such a fate. This was the secular rule and was not something she could control at all.
Murong Yue felt a chill in her heart, but she didn't tell Gu Yanyue about this, so Gu Yanyue naturally didn't know either.
After a while, Gu Yanyue saw that Murong Yue's condition had stabilized, so she thought of going to the small kitchen to make some food for Murong Yue to calm her down.
Just when Gu Yanyue happily carried the food to Murong Yue's room, she found Murong Yue lying in a pool of blood. She didn't care about the food and hurriedly sent someone to summon Qin Ruoruo into the palace.
Murong Yue's face had lost all color, and the bloodstain on his arm was extremely prominent. Gu Yanyue hurriedly pressed the bloody wound on Murong Yue's arm, anxiously waiting for Qin Ruoruo.
It's worthy of the phrase "heartbroken".
