One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

The door to the study room was shut tight. The moment Shen Ninghua stepped inside, she felt a wave of low and heavy pressure.

Baili Junyi sat expressionlessly behind his desk, holding a brush that had already been broken. Seeing Shen Ninghua enter, his expression eased up slightly. He threw the brush to the side and asked, "Ninghua, you know about it?"

"En, do you want to enter the palace now?" Shen Ninghua looked at him, his expression extremely serious.

"Royal father must be exceptionally angry right now. If I enter the palace now, it will be like pouring a ladle of boiling oil over my head. When that time comes, no matter how much you plan to do, it will all be in vain."

Having known each other for such a long time, Shen Ninghua was able to discern the helplessness and hesitation in his tone. "If you don't enter the palace, will you regret it?"

"Father is the one who misses the past the most. Zhao Huiying has been crippled and is now dead, so everything that she did in the past will disappear along with her. Father will only remember her well and then use the rest of the time to reminisce. Furthermore, the crown prince is in control of the situation and the mufei is in extreme danger. "

It was as if he was reminiscing about her mother's wife, Xia Jingyan. It wasn't so much about the emperor's love, but about his love. She was a woman that he, a monarch, couldn't ask for. She was his life's greatest regret. Therefore, that regret was something he couldn't allow to be desecrated.

Shen Ninghua walked up to him and gently massaged his shoulder with her fingers. "Since you understand, why don't you dare move?"

Baili Junyi's body stiffened. "But if we go right now, my royal father will definitely be suspicious. Our plans …"

Shen Ninghua chuckled.

"We have painstakingly set up all this time to fight for the supreme authority so that we could live a good life and protect what we care about. Is mufei not the person you care about? She suffered so much, and now that she has finally returned to the palace, is she going to put her life and death at risk for the sake of some arrangement? "

Baili Junyi grasped her hand and squeezed it tightly. "I understand. Thank you, Qinghua."

"I'll go with you." Husband and wife should have shared the same hardships and hardships.

After changing their clothes, the two of them arrived at the palace at a brisk pace. When they found out that the emperor was in the southern study, the two of them went up to seek an audience, but were rejected by the attendant.

"Prince Yi, Princess Consort, the emperor has just passed down an order saying he won't meet with anyone. Please go back. "

"Honorable Manager, please inform me. Whether or not Imperial Father sees it or not, this king accepts your kindness."

The steward was a little hesitant. Prince Yi's favor was something he had done quite a while ago, "This … "Alright, then this servant will inform the two of you. Please wait a moment."

The study was very dark, but Baili Qingfeng did not allow anyone to turn on the lights. He only sat behind the imperial desk, making it hard to see his expression.

"Your Majesty, Prince Yi and Princess Princess Yi have arrived. They've come to request a meeting with you."

"They have arrived quite quickly …" Baili Qingfeng's expression turned colder and colder, "Let them go back. In two days, the empress's funeral will arrive. At home, you should properly copy the Book of filial piety."

"Yes."

After listening to the attendant, Baili Junyi's face turned ugly. The two of them respectfully kowtowed to the study room in the south, then slowly left with each other.

Bu Yun stood unmoving by the window inside the Hall of Sesame. He had maintained this posture for a long time already. She felt as if her heart was heavier than the heavy rain outside.

The maidservant walked in quietly and reported, "Empress, Prince Yi and Princess Consort have just entered the palace to seek an audience with the emperor. It's a pity that the emperor hasn't seen them yet and has chased them out, saying that he wants them to go back and write down their dutiful scriptures."

Bu Yunqing finally made her move. She slightly turned her head and with a fierce and cold look in her eyes, she asked, "What did you say? Copying the Sutra of filial piety?"

"Yes." The palace maid trembled as she reported.

"Heh," Bu Yunqing coldly laughed, "My filial piety? My proper mother is not dead yet, and what have they copied? Could it be for that bitch Zhao Hui Ying? The number of people who died in her hands was countless, just their blood alone was enough to cover the entirety of Ning Kun Palace, and they were even filial? Pui! She deserves it! "

"Please calm your anger, Empress." The ladies knelt down.

Bu Yun could not suppress his laughter and his voice was filled with desolation. After standing here for a long time, she finally understood what that smile that Zhao Hui Ying gave her meant. She had long since planned everything out.

This move of hers was a complete defeat. She could have just watched from the sidelines, but instead, she insisted on stepping into the quagmire. Now, even if she wanted to wash, she was unable to clean herself.

"I have a letter for you. Have someone deliver it to the prince's mansion." Bu Yun quickly walked behind the table. He suddenly stopped when he wanted to make a move. No, there might be more nails in the Sesame seed palace right now. If this letter was given out to someone else, it would be worth it.

"You can leave first. Without my order, no one is to enter." Bu Yun suppressed all his anxiety and sat on the bed. At this point, she could only wait. Jun Yi was a filial child, and he wouldn't make her wait. He would find a way to pass the message to her.

When both of them returned to the prince's mansion, they felt extremely uncomfortable. Shen Ninghua was still alright. Although Baili Junyi was in a terrible mood, she subconsciously protected her from the rain. Most of his body was drenched.

Shen Ninghua instructed Bai Yu to prepare the water before turning around to personally help Baili Junyi take off her drenched clothes. "It's useless to rush now. Imperial Father has banned Imperial Mother and no one is allowed to enter the Palace. This can be considered a form of protection for her. Take a bath and change your clothes. I'll have the cyan sparrow take a look at the Hall of Spring to hear what Imperial Mother has to say."

"Alright." Baili Junyi nodded. All of his subordinates were men, and the goal of entering the harem was simply too big. The cyan sparrow was very familiar with the palace, so it was only right for her to go.

After making the arrangements, Shen Ninghua went to the inner room to see the two children. It was unknown whether or not they sensed their mother's arrival, but the two children woke up one after the other. Their small hands were clenched into fists as they rubbed their eyes. Their small steamed bun like faces were flushed red.

"Ah …"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

While speaking in a language that normal people would not understand, the two little bun said hello to their mother.

Shen Ninghua couldn't help smiling as she patted them gently to play with the two children.

Baili Junyi changed his clothes and walked in. He looked much more relaxed when he saw this scene. He sat to the side and looked at the three of them, gradually calming down from his restlessness.

About half an hour later, the black clothed, drenched cyan sparrow finally came back.

"My prince, my lady, the imperial concubine said she was only going to make a fool of her and give her some medicine to torture her after she was crippled. It's a pity that the mama and the two palace maids by her side betrayed her and switched to poison. After drinking the medicine, they committed suicide. The crown prince also rushed over with the emperor.

Hearing that the bluebird had finished her report, Shen Ninghua nodded and said, "Alright, I got it. You can go down and change now."

Baili Junyi frowned, "Crown Prince …" It seems like he wants to use this opportunity to make a comeback. "

Shen Ninghua nodded, pondering in her heart, "What a timely death, even though we investigated to the Jade Cloud Pavilion and the Clear Sky Pavilion, we did not find the empress. The Zhao Family!"

Shen Ninghua suddenly raised his head and said, "We'll go to the prison to see the Zhao Family. We can't let anything happen to the Zhao Family members at this time."

Baili Junyi quickly got up and walked outside. As he did so, he instructed some people to prepare horses for him. Just as he reached the entrance, Ye Yi also rushed over.

"Mistress, the Sky Prison just sent news that all the people from the Zhao Family who were imprisoned in the Sky Prison were poisoned. Not a single one survived."

Baili Junyi's expression was tense, and the aura around him suddenly changed. His oppressive aura forced Ye Yi to take a step back and respectfully kneel on the ground.

Shen Ninghua pried open his clenched fist and gently held it, "Everything has yet to be decided. There's still time. If we mess up, that will be the beginning of the disaster."

Baili Junyi turned abruptly, holding Shen Ninghua tightly in her arms. The strength behind the punch was so strong that it made it hard for Shen Ninghua to breathe. However, she did not push him away. Instead, she gently patted his back to let him completely relax.

It didn't take long for Baili Junyi to regain her composure and calm. It was as if her weakness from before hadn't existed at all.

"It's natural for the crown prince to want to save himself, but he chose the wrong pedal! Xiao Hua, let's start copying the Book of Filial filial piety right now. "

Seeing that he had regained his spirit, Shen Ninghua smiled and nodded, "Alright."

It rained heavily the entire night, only stopping early the next morning. Shen Ninghua pushed open the window and smelled the pungent smell of earth. The hot sun rays made people feel uncomfortable, giving them the illusion that their stomachs were filled with blood.

Since the emperor had said that the empress's standard for mourning ceremonies would be that of the empress, Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua would have to change into mourning attire. The empress was the mother and son of all princes.

Before the refurbished and refurbished Ning Kun Palace even had time to welcome its next owner, it had already welcomed a funeral. Zhao Hui Ying's mourning hall was not known to be here.

When Shen Ninghua arrived, she saw Baili Ang kneeling on the floor with his stomach held high and his face extremely pale. She asked in a low voice, "An Ran, how long have you been kneeling for?"

Upon seeing Shen Ninghua, Baili An almost burst into tears, "Just now, a concubine was disrespectful to my Imperial Father, and was seen by my Imperial Father's men. They directly dragged her down to beat up thirty of her staffs, causing her to be badly mutilated."

Shen Ninghua's heart sank. The moment he got close to her, he softly said one word, "Faint."

After a moment, he nodded his head and sat down on his knees by the side for a short while. Then, his eyes rolled back and he fainted. The palace maids by his side were completely flustered and only quietened down after a long while.

Seeing that Baili An was being helped down to rest, Shen Ninghua finally had time to look around. This time, all the titled women had come. The huge Ning Kun Palace was completely quiet, without a single hint of brilliance in them.

Ten thousand people paid their respects to him before he died, and after that, the heavens and the earth mourned together. This life of his was worth it.
