Yue Ye rubbed her still aching chest, quietly sitting back on her chair. He had come back last night and ordered the search for the woman who dared to oppose the court. So far, there had been no news of her at all. Somehow, he suddenly thought of Xue Fei, Xue Fei had always loved Bai Yining and always carried a faint fragrance of pear blossoms. This made him suspicious. However, logically speaking, Xue Fei was just a Miss of Deep Interference, she shouldn't have such skills. Yue Ye rubbed her temples with her hands, looking extremely tired.

It was at this moment that the faint voice of the yufei came from outside the hall. "Where are you going in such a hurry, Eunuch Li?"

"To reply esteemed Empress, the emperor is recruiting for esteemed imperial concubine. This servant is preparing to send someone to the Cloud Palace to invite her in." Eunuch Li's voice was as respectful as ever. After a slight pause, he said, "Xue Fei had caught a cold last night and is currently resting right now. I don't know if Your Majesty will be able to receive me another day?" It was hard to conceal the jealousy in his tone.

"This …" When the Eunuch Li was in trouble, Xue Fei was unable to see him with a illness, but with the emperor's orders, he couldn't disobey. The yufei did not speak much with him, but led Nian'er into the hall, bowing gracefully in front of Yue Ye, "Your concubine pays her respects to Your Majesty. When your concubine heard that Your Majesty was unwell, she immediately ordered a special kitchen to be served with some nourishing soup."

"Rise." Yue Ye's tone could still be considered gentle, swinging her hand and straightening her posture, she started to clear up the drawing paper on the table. When yufei carried the stew in Nian'er's hands and presented it to Yue Ye, his gaze swept across the painting that he hadn't had the time to retrieve completely, with just a glance, he was able to confirm that the girl in the painting was Xue Fu!

His heart felt as if it had been pricked with an embroidery needle. It faintly hurt before transforming into a trace of jealousy. There were three thousand beauties in the harem, so she shouldn't have this kind of heart. However, who could really have a heart as calm as water? If he could really do it, then he would be a woman like Empress Xie, with a different heart and an entirely different personality. She would no longer have any expectations in regards to Royal pampered.

The stew stopped in midair for a moment and was gently placed at the corner of the table. yufei's body was like a peony as he walked around the table. Walking to Yue Ye's side, she gave him a concerned look and asked, "Is His Majesty feeling better?"

"The news from the yufei is rather well-informed. I've already heard that my body has been harmed." Yue Ye's tone was full of ridicule, and yufei's heart tensed up, as he was thinking about how to reply. Yue Ye replied once again, "I thank my beloved concubine for her concern." The voice returned to its new gentleness.

He did not have any special favors for the yufei, and the yufei was usually quiet and protected his own safety. Due to the arrival of yufei, the atmosphere of the hall subtly changed. The originally elegant fragrance of the jade was stealthily replaced by the fragrance of yufei's makeup.

A weak spring breeze blew in from outside the hall, mixing with the sweet fragrance of yufei's body, swirling around his nose. But Yue Ye was always able to resist at this crucial moment. For him, gentleness was a perfunctory thing. He would never care for anyone, nor would he yearn for a woman outside of the large bed.

Only when yufei saw that his face was completely calm did he relax. His gaze was as gentle as water and his little hands were gently pinching his shoulders. Love words were endless: "Your majesty, chenqie was worried about your health and health, so she kept a close eye. If your majesty doesn't like chenqie to be like this, chenqie will try her best not to be heartfelt with you and express her true feelings."

Who wouldn't like the care of others? Yue Ye smiled wryly in her heart. Ever since he was young, this was the thing he needed the most. When he ascended to the throne, he was already used to that care, whether it was sincere or faked. Raising his head slightly, Yue Ye saw the Eunuch Li poking his head out of the hall, and his gaze trembled as he scolded that huge head, "Li Tu! "I've said this several times, speak frankly if you have anything to say. If you continue to be so subservient and make mistakes, I'll definitely not forgive you!"

"Your Majesty, have mercy …" Eunuch Li practically fell into the palace hall and directly laid on the ground to greet him. yufei was so amused by his funny appearance that he covered his mouth and chuckled. That beautiful and enchanting smile was even more beautiful than the fake smile he usually had. It was a pity that Yue Ye, who was only preoccupied with her anger, didn't see it, and stared straight at Eunuch Li.

Eunuch Li, who was lying on the ground, sneakily glanced at yufei, hesitating whether he should speak up in front of her. He steeled his heart and said, "Reporting to the Emperor, the woman that the Emperor wanted me to find is no longer in Miaofeng Temple. It was said that she left the monastery a few days ago."

Yue Ye was startled, the anger on her face faded as she abruptly stood up from her chair, staring at him as she asked, "Why would she disappear? Has anyone been sent to look for him? "

The Eunuch Li hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please forgive us, but many people have gone to find her. However, the people in Miao Feng monastery are unwilling to divulge her name and where she went, so this servant is unable to find her. "Your majesty, please give this servant a few more days. This servant will definitely find her and bring her back."

Slave like you, always working so slowly!" The disappointment in Yue Ye's heart turned into a faint flame of anger, and she started to vent it on Eunuch Li. He was furious that he hadn't personally gone to fetch her back to the palace earlier. Even if she hadn't cut her hair into a bun, she probably wouldn't have found a trace of her.

"Your Majesty's lesson is …" Eunuch Li felt wronged in his heart, but he could only endure it. The Emperor had only given him such a small clue, yet he was required to find a person and bring them back to the palace in a short period of time. Such a difficult problem could only be solved by a high and mighty Emperor.

After exiting the Hall, yufei hesitated for a moment before turning to look at Eunuch Li who was outside the Hall, and asked: "Eunuch, who is the Emperor looking for? "Why are you so anxious?"

Eunuch Li's head drooped, but he naturally did not dare to say too much, and even after mumbling for a long while, he did not manage to utter a complete sentence. In the end, she boldly said, "Empress, the Empress knows the character of the Emperor. This servant naturally doesn't dare to ask who he is."

"But how do you find them?" The yufei snorted. He understood that it was impossible to get anything out of the Eunuch Li's mouth, so he did not ask anymore. Surrounded by a group of eunuchs and princesses, he left with the obvious intention of bringing his servant fire with him.

In the tent inside Yun He Palace's Cabinet, Xue Fu's face was no longer as calm as before. In the blink of an eye, tears started to roll down her face. If it was yesterday, Liu Li would have stood outside the tent and chattered with all kinds of words to coax her to be happy. Now, even if she cried until her tears dried, no one would coax her.

When he thought of Liu Li, Xue Fu couldn't help but howl and cry, his shoulders shaking on the bed, causing him to be hurt. Xiang Er, who was waiting outside the tent, panicked and didn't know what to do. Although Xue Fu had always been depressed to the point that it made one's heart ache, she had never cried like this before.

Xiang Er hesitated for a moment, then patted Xue Fu's shoulders and comforted him: "Empress, what's wrong with you? Does your body hurt? So Imperial Physician An came … "

Xue Fu was ashamed and stopped crying. He took the silk handkerchief in Xiang Er's hands and wiped his tears away as he said dejectedly, "My body is fine, send Imperial Physician An back home."

Her body was in pain, but it was far from being bone-piercing like the pain in her heart. The pain in her heart was too healing. The pain on her body couldn't be cured, it was an internal injury caused by Yue Ye, and naturally, she couldn't let the imperial physician see any clues. yufei was already suspicious of her disappearance. If she found out that he was suffering from internal injuries, things would definitely get out of hand.

Xiang Er was just about to say something to console her, when Imperial Physician An arrived. Yun'er walked to the front of Xue Fu's bed and said, "Empress Dowager, Imperial Physician An has arrived." As he spoke, he pulled down the tent, preparing to ask Imperial Physician An for his pulse.

Xue Fu instead flipped over, sat up and angrily said: "Let him go, I do not need to ask for a pulse!"

"Empress …" Yun'er was stumped, Xiang Er immediately gave her a meaningful glance, telling her to leave. Yun-er could only withdraw from the cabinet and invite Imperial Physician An out of the palace. Xue Fu inhaled painfully, hugged her knees at the corner of the bed, and buried her face deep into the silk quilt. Tears seeped into the bed and soaked a large chunk.

"Esteemed Empress, you can't be sad anymore …" Xiang Er did not know what to do, and begged pitifully through the tent. Although Xue Fu was no longer crying, he was still hiding at the corner of the bed.

Xue Fu acted as if she had lost her soul, only after a long while did she finally move, and spoke with her red lips slightly parted: "I don't want to be sad too, Xiang Er, why are men's promises always so hard to bear through the test of time?"

"Ugh …" Xiang Er was at a loss for words, she did not expect Xue Fu to suddenly ask such a profound question, as she had never experienced such an emotional situation, how could she answer such a question?

Xue Fu was not waiting for her to answer his question. After pausing for a moment, he spoke again: "He once said that he would never leave his sister, and everyone was jealous that his elder sister had found a good marriage yet he gave up at such a critical juncture. He even did not care about his elder sister's life and death. Can you feel the pain when two lovers end up strangers? But big sister can't die yet. She must live a life worse than death … "

Xiang Er listened to her constantly spitting out words, and looked at her through the curtain. Although he could not understand, he could still feel her deep sorrow. However, she still couldn't find the appropriate words to say to comfort her. She could only stand quietly outside the tent and listen. Only when a tall and straight figure suddenly covered her did she suddenly come to her senses. Raising his head, he saw that the Emperor was clad in a blood-red robe. He was so frightened that Zhang Bai paled and could not make the slightest sound.

Why did the Emperor suddenly arrive? How could there be no sound, no footsteps? Xiang Er was startled, and immediately knelt down. However, she was stopped by Yue Ye's gesture, indicating that she could withdraw. Xiang Er peeked at Xue Fu who was hiding his face in the silk quilt and quietly walked out of the Cabinet with small steps. He was still a little worried when he walked away.
