Hearing the empress dowager's words, Bing Lanyue suddenly realized that this was fate from the palace banquet last time. Bing Lanyue had thought that Bing Ruolan had a good relationship with many people, and had the help of a palace maid the moment he entered the palace.

"Chenqie doesn't know anything, please forgive me esteemed empress dowager." Imperial Concubine Lan suddenly kneeled down, her face pale. She was afraid that her position would drop if she was careless.

Bing Lanyue helplessly looked at her. Bing Ruolan had just overestimated this, which was why it was so full of loopholes. Being worried about gains and losses, this personality, in the end, would only make a person retreat further and further away.

However, who in this person's life would not struggle between rights? Even he himself was quite greedy for wealth. Only with money could he live a good life and be a carefree worm. Otherwise, he wouldn't have starved to death in the ancient times.

"Imperial Mother, Imperial Concubine Lan was only joking with Bing Ling, I know about this matter as well." Just as the empress dowager wanted to punish Bing Ruolan, the emperor suddenly stood up and carried the burden of the matter, surprising Bing Lanyue.

Hey! This brat, the emperor, still knew how to protect his woman. How rare. Bing Lanyue could not help but have a good impression of the emperor, she secretly glanced at the emperor, her pale face showed that she was someone who had been in constant pain.

He silently cursed in his heart, "Forget it, it just looks like she has a short lifespan. It's not like I know what kind of illness she has."

Bing Lanyue was the only one left in a pitiful state. She was left at the palace by the empress dowager, who would wash him every day before dawn, kowtow three times to the empress dowager, and then silently roll into the small dark room to write a book.

The Little Black Room was named by Bing Lanyue, but it was actually very spacious and bright. The Buddha statues inside were all shining with a golden light, and even a single candle lit in the middle of the night felt brightly lit inside.

It was a red gemstone between the brows of the Buddha statue. The legend of the Thunder Pearl was that it would emit a peculiar radiance before the arrival of the thunderstorm. It was known as the omen of the birth of a god.

While Bing Lanyue was copying the scripture, she came in the midst of her boredom to size up the Thunder Pearl on the Buddha's forehead. The fist-sized bead was completely dark red, like human blood, and would only glow at night.

It looked like a pearl bracelet during the day, but at night, the brightness of the bracelet caused Bing Lanyue to be unable to sleep, and she could only put it away in the box.

He thought to himself, this Merman's Tears bracelet would definitely be very useful if I use it to walk the road at night, it would not be afraid of falling, and with the earrings that Monarch Moli gave him last time, I would be able to become a beacon from far away.

Unfortunately, when she went back into the water last time, Bing Lanyue didn't even have time to get something from Monarch Moli. Even if she wanted to, she couldn't leave the palace now.

"Are you so unwilling to let This Dowager ask you to copy a scripture?" Suddenly, the empress dowager's voice exploded by his ear, causing Bing Lanyue to jump out of her chair in fright. She raised her head and saw that the empress dowager had appeared in front of him without him knowing, while Chun Er, who was outside reporting, could only pitifully ask for her help.

Bing Lanyue secretly cursed, if a person was unlucky, they would be killed instantly.

"To reply Esteemed Empress Dowager, this subject misses home." Bing Lanyue lowered her eyes meekly. Everyone could understand this reason, a sixteen year old little girl was the one who was most reluctant to part with her family.

"We are all big girls, and have been around for a year already. Why haven't we seen anyone getting married yet!" The empress dowager reprimanded coldly, looking at Bing Lanyue's docile appearance.

Bing Lanyue had originally wanted to say that the empress dowager's back didn't hurt even when she stood there talking, if he let her try copying a scripture every day, it would probably be even more painful than her!

Seemingly seeing through Bing Lanyue's thoughts, the empress dowager continued slowly, "This Dowager knew that you were alone and lonely, so I specially decided to copy it with you."

Hearing this, Bing Lanyue's legs went soft again. This was clearly a rhythm that would not allow him to rest for even a moment. Before Bing Lanyue could reply, the empress dowager continued, "You should still copy one book every day. After that, I will send you out of the palace and return at the time of the palace's curfew."

"Are you serious, Empress Dowager?" Bing Lanyue had an expression of disbelief. If he followed Bing Lanyue's diligent progress, he would be able to write a copy of the scripture in half a day's time, and after calculating the time, it would only be 6 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. After that, he would have enough time to finish one book and leave the palace.

"This Dowager has always kept his word!" The empress dowager looked at Bing Lanyue as he blinked his innocent eyes.

Hearing the empress dowager's affirmation, Bing Lanyue started to mutter in her heart. Everyone said that the older the wiser, the more attention the empress dowager would give to him.

Bing Lanyue squinted her eyes slightly, looking at the empress dowager with a complicated gaze. She wanted to ask her about it, but she decided against it, as she didn't want to bring disaster upon herself.

The next morning, Bing Lanyue saw the empress dowager seriously copying a scripture on the table beside him, and did not dare to be slow, as she copied and imitated her. Only then did she realise that her speed could actually be faster.

She then said, "This Dowager hasn't finished reading the scripture written by Bing Lanyue yesterday …"

Bing Lanyue's originally excited expression immediately fell. She knew that the empress dowager wouldn't be an easy-going existence, so she lowered her gaze and said, "What else does the empress dowager have to say?"

"This Dowager wants you to bring someone out for a look. Are you willing?" Her Majesty's eyes were full of inquiry, clearly asking if it was actually an order.

"This subject will naturally obey the empress dowager's orders." Bing Lanyue nodded, then saw a person walking in from outside. It was none other than the sickly little emperor, and he was wearing the clothes of a young eunuch.

"Esteemed empress dowager, don't say …" At this time, the empress dowager suddenly kneeled in front of Bing Lanyue, scaring Bing Lanyue to the point that he also knelt down.

The moment Bing Lanyue kneeled, the emperor was about to kneel as well. Bing Lanyue and the empress dowager shouted at the same time, "Don't kneel!

This almost identical voice caused Bing Lanyue and the empress dowager to look at each other. If it was a couple, then it could be understood that they were in love, but they were both women.

"Esteemed empress dowager, feel free to speak up if you have any orders. You're ruining my lifespan by doing this!" Bing Lanyue said very seriously as she personally helped the empress dowager up.

The empress dowager sighed, "Miss Lan Yue, I was forced to do this!"

"How many people in this palace are able to live their lives freely? Who isn't forced to live as they please?" Bing Lanyue sighed. She had never eaten pork before, nor seen a pig run. Ever since she crossed over, her daily life had not been easy.

Her Majesty sighed and said, "It's great that you can understand. This son of mine has been plotted against by someone since he was a child, and he had to beg for a lot of medicine from a doctor to save his life. But now the history is getting worse and worse, and I'm not afraid of losing the throne because I'm afraid that the white-haired man will send the black-haired man."

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, if you didn't insist on the throne, then naturally you wouldn't be surrounded by these plots. If you really want the emperor to be safe, then let him meditate on the throne." Bing Lanyue immediately expressed her thoughts, but was rejected by the empress dowager.

"If this meditation technique can solve this, why do I have to be so stubborn about fighting for power?" Do you know that as soon as we step back, more jackals and tigers will gather around us? You've heard of the words of the son of heaven, the lord of heaven, and the king of all kingdoms. Or have you ever heard of the victors and losers? If we fall into the hands of the victors, we will have a chance to live! " The empress dowager's eyes reddened, and Bing Lanyue knew that she was speaking the truth.

Bing Lanyue sighed and said, "Esteemed Empress Dowager, this subject's daughter doesn't want to participate in this battle. She only wants to live on."

The empress dowager's face immediately turned cold, like those nine cold winters. "Are you sure you'll be able to walk out alive after knowing the secrets of This Dowager and the Emperor?"

"Then, can the Empress Dowager answer a question of mine?" Bing Lanyue's gaze was filled with certainty. She completely treated the empress dowager's threats calmly, her gaze carrying a shrewd light.

"What do you want to ask?" The empress dowager's eyes were filled with a faint gentleness as she knew that Bing Lanyue had compromised.

Bing Lanyue took a deep breath and sat on the chair. Indeed, the empress dowager asking him to write a scripture was just a cover, her real goal was to use Bing Lanyue as a shield to escort the emperor out of the palace to treat his illness.

"Why did you choose me, Empress Dowager?" Bing Lanyue really wanted to know the reason why he had received the empress dowager's attention.

"Because both Prince Yi and Young Master National Duke’s Mansion like you, and it's even because of your Sky Tremor Bomb." The empress dowager's eyebrows twitched, as if she had seen through everything about Bing Lanyue.

"What Heaven-Shaking Cannon?" Bing Lanyue was confused, when did she get the Sky Shattering Cannon?

The empress dowager also sat across from Bing Lanyue, while the Yellow Emperor's forehead was already covered in sweat.

"You can't hide it from me. In the courtyard in Jun Family, a small thing blew the stone into pieces, and that heaven shaking sound shook the entire capital. This Dowager naturally knows that it was you who did it." Although she only heard the description of the groom, it was enough for the empress dowager.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, aren't you afraid that I'll inform the Prince Yi or the young master of National Duke’s Mansion?" Bing Lanyue squinted his eyes, with a crafty look in his eyes.
