And after listening to Xiaoxi's story, she became more and more suspicious that Yue Nanchen had come prepared. She had put drugs in the wine and food, so why did she have problems after eating, but Yue Nanchen was fine? And she could have carefully arranged such a beautiful trap...

She didn't dare to think about it anymore. No, absolutely not. He hadn't forgotten her in the past three years, so how could he treat her like this? It must be that Lan Shuiyao, it must be!

The more Dong Qing'er thought about Lan Shuiyao, the more she felt that she was not a simple person.

"Qing'er, say something. Do you want to leave with Prince Changning or..." Dong Wenhua had no idea and kept urging her.

"Dad, I won't leave. The suburbs are too desolate. I like the hustle and bustle. Besides, Cheng Ning is no longer the original Cheng Ning. He has no feelings for me. I..."

Dong Qing'er struggled to sit up, "Dad, I have brought shame upon you. I thought I could make you the father-in-law of the emperor, but I never expected..."

Upon hearing this, Dong Wenhua couldn't help but feel sad. It seemed that he should have listened to the prime minister's words a long time ago. Although the late emperor was harsh to Prince Yongnan and did not like him, perhaps he really just wanted to give him experience.

So what if he relied on Prince Changning? Didn't the last imperial edict strip him of his military power, making him a nominal prince with a title? Moreover, he had fallen out with Prince Changning because of Qing'er's matter, so I'm afraid...

"Qing'er, don't say that. It's Dad who has harmed you. If I had seen the situation clearly earlier, I wouldn't have... Never mind. Anyway, Prince Changning doesn't cherish you. He rarely comes back to the palace, but he insists on marrying a concubine and making a big fuss. So, write a letter of divorce, and Dad will send someone to deliver it to Prince Changning before dawn. From now on, you will be completely separated!"

Dong Qing'er nodded, and Dong Wenhua ordered someone to bring paper and ink.

Xiaoxi ground the ink, handed the brush to Dong Qing'er, and spread the paper in front of her. She couldn't help but say, "Miss, please think about it. Do you really not love the prince anymore?

"

Dong Qing'er's hand holding the pen froze. She slowly raised her head and looked at the dark night. Every detail of the past thousand days and nights with Yue Chengning popped into her mind.

Although the days in the suburbs were depressing, they were not difficult because of his company. Now she suddenly understood Yue Nanchen's painstaking efforts. If she had to choose, she would rather choose not to return to the palace this time.

Although she knew that what happened between her and Yue Chengning was just a bubble.

The ink dripped from the tip of the pen onto the fine rice paper, spreading out like everyone's emotions, floating and boundless...

On the pine tree outside the room, Lan Shuiyao, dressed in red, was leaning lazily on a branch, her legs swinging, thinking about how to get Dong Qing'er and Prince Changning to leave together.

Will Dong Qing'er write the divorce letter?

As she was thinking, the sudden murderous aura made Lan Shuiyao alert and steady her body. She leaned over to look and saw more than a dozen figures whizzing on the high wall. The one leading them was Li Yong who had ambushed her on the bridge.

Is he Prince Changning's man? Is he so desperate to stay in Yuecheng that he wants to kill Dong Qing'er himself?

Lan Shuiyao was just thinking about it when she saw a dozen black shadows whizzing into the Dong Mansion and suddenly broke into Dong Qing'er's room.

The voices of Dong Wenhua and Dong Qing'er were heard shouting, and soon, the guards and servants of the Dong Mansion rushed over here.

Li Yong quickly rushed out of the room, carrying a human figure wrapped in a quilt on his shoulders. Behind him, the screams of Dong Wenhua and the maid could be heard.

It turned out to be an old story! As long as Dong Qing'er was not safe, Prince Changning had a reason to stay in Yuecheng. This was better than Dong Qing'er dying and ending everything!

Great move! Lan Shuiyao raised her eyebrows in admiration and followed silently.

Qianhun and Bairen landed silently on the city guard bridge.

"Master, where are the people?" Qianhun asked, turning his head back and forth.

"I only saw a back!"

Nan Chen spoke coldly, gazing at the sky, which was red and about to dawn.

"Just a silhouette? Why don't I chase it?" Qian Hun was like a curious baby, asking questions endlessly.

"Have you forgotten that Prince Changning left Yuecheng this morning? I have more important things to do. There is plenty of time for the matter of Red Rose!" Yue Nanchen lowered his eyelids, with an unpredictable light flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, Master!" Qian Hun responded and followed Yue Nanchen obediently.

Dawn finally arrived.

Outside the palace gate, Yue Chengning was wearing an elegant silver-white robe with a black coat on the outside, his black hair was tied up high, and his expression was depressed. Behind him was a ceremonial carriage and a red sedan chair. He had only five or six followers, and it was a deserted place.

The ground was still a little damp from last night's dew, and the carriage had left clear marks on it.

On the palace wall, the empress dowager, dressed in palace attire, looked formal and majestic, silently staring at the white figure in front of the city gate.

Prince Changning stood there for an hour, and no one came to see him off. He recalled the year when he returned from the battle and his elder brother, the emperor, led the ministers to reward the troops on the city wall. Who would not have tried to curry favor with him and get close to him at that time?

And now... the faint sunlight cast a light haze on the side of his face. He slightly opened his thin lips, but his eyes seemed to be shrouded in mist and cold dew, so ethereal and bone-chillingly cold, as if it could condense the cold snow and frost of a winter night into a person's bone marrow.

He will keep a record of today's account, and one day in the future, he will make all those snobs kneel at his feet!

He raised his head, stared at the Queen Mother, suddenly knelt down and kowtowed three times.

The Queen Mother stood at the palace gate and stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to help him. There was a hint of melancholy in her eyes, and she felt a sense of loss lingering in her heart.

Yue Nanchen sat on the carriage, Bai Ren drove the car, Qian Hun followed, and the three of them came slowly.

Follow

The guard whispered something in Prince Changning's ear, and Prince Changning turned around to look.

Bai Ren stopped the carriage not far in front of him. Yue Nanchen did not get out of the carriage, but just looked at him indifferently.

Prince Changning sneered, "Is the nephew here to see his uncle off? Such a rare act of filial piety!"

Yue Nanchen was not to be outdone, "No, I'm not sending you off, I'm keeping an eye on you. I'm afraid that the Emperor's uncle will miss the beauty of Yuecheng and won't be able to leave!"

Prince Changning's eyes suddenly darkened, but soon they returned to their indifference. He smiled and said, "My nephew is really thoughtful. I am waiting for your aunt. When she arrives, I will go to the mountains and rivers with her like a fairy couple. Isn't that wonderful?"

Yue Nanchen smiled faintly and said, "I hope it is really as the emperor's uncle said. I wish the emperor's uncle and the emperor's aunt will grow old together and be together forever!"

Prince Changning gritted his teeth secretly. He didn't know when Yue Nanchen became so hard-hearted towards Dong Qing'er. Did he send people to monitor him for the past three years just to prevent him from rebelling? Wasn't it for Dong Qing'er?

For a moment, Yue Chengning, who was always in control of the situation, became a little confused.

The time to leave the city has come, but the person who went to pick up Dong Qing'er has not returned yet.

Suddenly, a horse came from a distance, carrying a guard on its back. The guard fell to the ground and shouted, "My Lord, this is bad. Someone broke into the Shangshu Mansion last night and kidnapped the princess. Now the Shangshu is frightened and is still lying in bed!"

Yue Nanchen's eyes darkened and he turned to look at Qian Hun. Qian Hun shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Yue Nanchen frowned coldly, revealing an irresistible strength and sinisterness. He had never expected that Prince Changning would do this. Once Dong Qing'er disappeared, Prince Changning would stay in Yuecheng!

The Queen Mother at the palace gate seemed to have heard something as well, and she hurried down.

"Master, look there!" Qianhun suddenly screamed, and saw a horse slowly swaying towards him, and the camel on the horse

The person on his back was Dong Qing'er. In the distance, a red shadow quickly disappeared around the corner.

He gave Qianhun a wink, stepped forward to pull Dong Qing'er off the horse, took a breath and nodded.

Yue Nanchen sneered, "Uncle Emperor, Aunt Emperor is here, please get on the road, it's getting late!"

The moment Dong Qing'er appeared, Prince Changning's face turned pale.

His pupils shrank, and a thin blood color suddenly filled his eyes. His thin chin was slightly raised like a blade, and a strange and gloomy expression appeared at the corners of his lips. He slowly said, "Thank you for your concern, nephew. I will leave with your aunt now!"

At the palace gate, the Queen Mother also stopped. She watched Prince Changning's carriage go away little by little... and her vision suddenly became blurry?

"Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager?" Suddenly the palace maid beside her shouted loudly, and the palace gate was in chaos.

Yue Nanchen's face darkened. What was his mother doing? Sure enough, the carriage that had been driving away suddenly rushed over here. Yue Chengning quickly jumped off the carriage and knelt in front of Yue Nanchen.

“Nephew, even if your uncle begs you, please let him take another look at the Queen Mother. Although the Queen Mother is the Emperor Chengning’s sister-in-law, she is like a mother…”

Yue Nanchen sneered, "My mother is so dizzy now!" He made a gesture to Bai Ren, who drove into the palace.

The guards helped Yue Chengning up.

Yue Chengning glanced coldly at the majestic palace gate and said calmly, "Please take down your things. I want to show my filial piety to the Queen Mother!"

In the emperor's study, Yue Nanchen sat aside angrily. Yue Nanxuan wanted to speak several times, but was pushed back by his sharp eyes.

"Royal brother, you also understand the temper of the Queen Mother. Perhaps she really can't bear to leave the Imperial Uncle, and she is not pretending to be sick. Don't worry, if the Imperial Uncle can't leave this time, there will be a next time. I have already sent the best imperial physician in the palace to see the Queen Mother. I believe that within ten days or half a month, the Queen Mother's illness will be cured!"
