Dongfang Run hummed and looked back at her, but saw that her eyes were blazing with fire, and he couldn't help but frowned: "I know what you want to say, but I don't want to say anything now."
"Okay! Okay..." Lou Wanyue said two "Okay" words in a row, her heart broken.
With what happened before and this incident, how much love is left in her heart?
Who will tell her?
Until they returned to the palace, the two of them didn't say another word, and Lou Wanyue didn't look at Dongfang Run again. There was a weird atmosphere between the two of them, and they went back to their respective rooms, just like before, when they had just got married, except that this time, there was a little more hatred between the two of them than then.
Lou Wanyue looked into the west. The sun had already set and the red clouds in the sky looked infinitely brilliant, like spring flowers in full bloom. It was a pity that her mood was as bleak as autumn. The sun set in the west but would rise again tomorrow, but would her spring ever come back?

Lian Mansion.
Back garden.
The city is prosperous and the grass is green.
A woman in white was sitting on the swing, lost in thought. The maid beside her did not dare to speak, and could only stand there quietly, with a worried look in her eyes. At this moment, a young man in plain clothes, tall and handsome, came over from a path in the garden.
Before he even got close, he spoke worriedly, "Ruoxue..."
The woman was Dongfang Ruoxue. When she saw Lian Muchan's figure, she couldn't help but look up, but did not answer.
Lian Muhan came closer, with worry in his eyes: "Ruoxue, I heard that you have been sitting here for a whole morning. Are you hungry?"
Lian Muhan's voice was very gentle.
Dongfang Ruoxue twitched the corner of her mouth: "Any news about them?"
Lian Muhan hummed, "There has been no fighting for ten days... The prince has found evidence to prove that Emperor Yunqi is also the biological son of the late emperor. Many hesitant ministers in the court have made up their minds and stood on the side of the prince. So now, the power of the two sides is very balanced. If it continues, I'm afraid..."
Lian Muhan didn't say it, but Dongfang Ruoxue's eyes were already red: "You are sure that my father and the others will lose, right?"
Lian Muhan curled the corner of his mouth and nodded slightly.
Dongfang Ruoxue's tears began to fall: "Is there no way? Is there no way for me to see them?"
"Do you want to leave me?" Lian Muhan was very nervous.
Now she wanted to see them, and there was only one way, which was to leave here. However, the Lian Mansion had been controlled, and this was already a favor from Dongfang Jin. Logically speaking, a traitorous daughter like Dongfang Ruoxue should have been locked up long ago, but now she was only guarded and not allowed to leave the house. If she really wanted to see Dongfang Bo and others, it would be tantamount to treason...
Dongfang Ruoxue shook her head: "Why would I want to leave you? I'm just so worried about them..."
"I know." Lian Muhan held Dongfang Ruoxue in his arms and sighed softly, "You can write a letter and I will take it out for you..."
"Is it okay?" Dongfang Ruoxue's eyes were filled with hope.
"But this letter needs to be reviewed by others before it can be sent out. It is still unclear whether it will reach Prince Shou's hands. The world is so chaotic now..." Lian Muhan sighed. Now his mansion was also under surveillance. Dongfang Jin had already warned him openly and trusted him, so he could not let him down when he was employing him. Of course, it would be best if this filling letter was enough to persuade the king to surrender.
But he knew that Dongfang Ruoxue would not write that kind of letter.
So don't force it.
When Dongfang Ruoxue heard that she could write a letter, she couldn't help but smile with joy. She looked very excited. Lian Muhan couldn't help but stare at her so hard that he couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead. The maids smiled and turned their faces away.
Dongfang Ruoxue blushed with shame: "You are so bad."
"Good, I'm bad."
"What if my father is defeated?" Dongfang Ruo became worried again.
"Don't worry, the emperor and the prince are both kind-hearted people..." Lian Muhan stopped here.
Dongfang Ruoxue nodded after hearing this: "I didn't expect that they would rebel and abandon me..."
It doesn't feel good to be abandoned.
***********
Villa.
An Qingran was changing the child's clothes. The baby kept crying for some reason, and An Qingran felt a little uneasy because of his crying.
She had a vague feeling that something was going to happen.
Sure enough, before she could wrap the baby, there was a commotion outside. She looked up and saw a group of men in black rushing in. They knocked down all the guards outside and then rushed out. All this happened in the blink of an eye. An Qingran only had time to hold the child in her arms.
She hoped that these people came to rescue her and her child, but as soon as she looked into their eyes, she knew she was wrong.
They are not from Dongfang Jin.
The sword was pointed at An Qingran and the child.
Honeysuckle screamed and tried to rush forward, but was knocked to the bed by a punch from the man in black. Honeysuckle almost fainted.
An Qingran perked up and asked loudly, "Who are you?"
"Don't worry about who we are, just follow us, otherwise we will not be polite to you." The man in black said coldly.
"Okay." An Qingran had some idea in his mind.
Rendong fell to the ground and tried to stop them, but An Qingran gave her a look. Rendong's leg was injured and she didn't know any martial arts. After seeing An Qingran's look, she understood.
Fortunately, those people didn't take her seriously at all, but took An Qingran away.
She limped behind them. The maids were knocked to the ground. The door was open, and she followed them out. At this moment, she felt like a lost soul, not knowing what to do. Seeing those people putting An Qingran and her son on the carriage, she wanted to run a few steps quickly, but suddenly fell to the ground and watched a trail of dust go away. She got up unwillingly and chased after them, but she could no longer see them.
On the mountain road, Jindong looked around blankly, and suddenly squatted on the ground and burst into tears. Her cry could be heard far away, but no one came to call her...
An Qingran sat in the carriage, the child was still crying. An Qingran put her head close to the child's face and whispered, "What's wrong? Do you feel the danger too? Is that right? But now we are on the road, and mother can't save you. Please don't cry, okay?"
The baby seemed to be able to sense her uneasiness and seemed to understand what she said. Slowly, it stopped crying, and the carriage stopped at this time.
An Qingran got off the car and found that it was a large courtyard. She was led in through the corner door and into a room with luxurious furnishings. After she sat down, she looked at the man in black who brought her in and said, "Now, can you let me see your master?"
The man in black said coldly: "Why are you in such a hurry? You will see it when the time comes."
After saying that, he locked the door from the outside.
An Qingran looked at everything in the room. These people would not harm her, and they knew that she was in Dongfang Run’s territory. So, who could they be?
King of longevity?
Thinking of this, she sighed and hugged the child in her arms. He was her only support now. The baby woke up and uttered twice. He stretched out his little hand and scratched unconsciously. He grabbed An Qingran's finger and was about to put it into his mouth. An Qingran smiled lightly and looked at the baby: "Mom will be strong. Mom will protect you."
At this moment, the door opened.
An Qingran looked over and saw a graceful and elegant woman walking in.
An Qingran stood up. The baby was a little dissatisfied when he saw his finger being pulled out suddenly. He babbled twice and started crying.
"Greetings... Queen Mother, may your majesty be blessed." An Qingran bowed.
The Queen Mother walked in slowly, looking at her and the child in her arms. She took a few steps, sat on the rattan chair, and nodded slightly: "You call me Queen Mother, I guess you recognize the legitimate identity of Prince Shou?"
An Qingran smiled: "You have always been the Queen Mother, whether it is Emperor Yunqi in power or Prince Shou, there is no difference."
"There is no difference. You are also a person who gave birth to a son, so you should understand my feelings, right?" The Queen Mother smiled and asked the people around her to step back. She said, "But you have to say this. Aren't you confused again?"
"The Queen Mother is a wise person." An Qingran said sarcastically, then smiled, "The Queen Mother invited me here, does Dongfang Run know?"
"Why? Can't I make the decision about my grandson? Also, you live in the other courtyard and have a child. It seems that you have a good relationship with my grandson... Speaking of which, I actually like you very much. You are smart and sensible. You know how to choose a good tree to live in. It's also Run'er who is suspicious. If he had told us about your relationship earlier, I would support it, even if she was Dongfang Jin's woman."
The Queen Mother spoke very fluently, expressing all that was on her mind.
An Qingran smiled bitterly and couldn't help but say, "Things are not as the Queen Mother thinks..."
The Queen Mother said, "What's going on? Didn't you come here to seek refuge with Run'er? I invited you here, but did I invite the wrong person?"
"I have been unable to explain this matter clearly. If the Queen Mother wants to know the truth, you might as well ask Dongfang Run." An Qingran knew in her heart that the Queen Mother was not aware of the things Dongfang Run had done, and the only ones who could save her now, besides Dongfang Jin, was Dongfang Run.
The Queen Mother will definitely use them, mother and son, as a threat.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother understood after hearing this. In fact, how could she not understand? The main purpose was to test the waters first.
"Well, then I understand. Your heart is still with Dongfang Jin. My poor Run'er, why bother?" Seeing An Qingran like this, the Queen Mother was not polite at all. She smiled coldly and stood up: "Then I'm leaving. Take care of yourself. I will take care of you because you have called me the Imperial Grandmother for a year."
The Queen Mother stood up and took a deep look at the swaddling baby in her arms. Her eyes were so complicated that An Qingran couldn't help but shiver.
Seeing the Queen Mother leave in such a majestic manner, An Qingran sat down dejectedly. The baby in her arms had stopped crying. He was sucking his fingers with a satisfied expression.
