eyebrows. That displeased look made Feng Aotian take the imperial decree back."The Emperor has sent me this time to request the Fourth Prince to attack the Heavenly Revelation Kingdom…""The military c...Huanyue looked at Dugu City with tears in her eyes. Her heartbreaking gaze made Dugu City's eyes turn red. He rushed forward and persuaded, "Yue'er, put down the hairpin. Whatever you want, this king will agree to it."

"Acheng, what are you doing"

Su Su glanced at Huan Yue, her figure flashed, she circled behind her, swiftly snatched the hairpin from her hand, waved to Dugu Cheng, and sneered at Huan Yue.

"If you truly wanted to die, just stab yourself directly. Holding back and not stabbing even when facing death, this act is too fake."

Su Su's words turned Huan Yue's face pale, watching Su Su's tears falling even more fiercely.

"Why would Madam Su slander Yue'er like this Doesn't Yue'er have the right to live"

After finishing his words, he sought death once more.

Dugu Cheng's eyes turned red with urgency. He rushed forward and hugged her, "Yue'er, you can't do this, what am I supposed to do I can't lose you."

Huanyue was held by Dugu City, crying even louder.

It sounded as if they had been deeply wronged, making it hard to bear listening to.

Shū Taifēi watched their performance, and ordered, "Go get me a stool, this play will probably take several more hours."

Dugu Cheng hurriedly pulled Huan Yue down to kneel.

"Mother, if you have any grievances against your son, please vent them to me directly. Don't make things difficult for Yue'er anymore. She is such a kind and gentle girl. Treating her this way will leave her with no courage to live."

"What have I done to her"

The Empress Dowager looked at Huan Yue, “You let her speak up, she’s here. When has this palace wronged her”

Huan Yue's tears fell harder, pretending to be scared and clutching Dugu City's arm tightly. That fearful and slightly trembling hand made Dugu City feel heartache and pity.

"Mother, I want to take Yue'er away."

"What's the reason"

The Empress Dowager looked at Huanyue, “She has suffered some wrongs here, I must have an explanation. Is it that you want to drive me out of the house for her sake”

Dugu City was about to speak, but Huan Yue grabbed his arm and shook her head.

"My lord, don't argue with Consort Shu. It's not worth it for the sake of Yue'er."

"You are not allowed to speak like that. In this way, Your Highness would be angry."

Shu Taifei looked at Huan Yue, "Just now you were seeking death and clinging to life, now this old woman will allow you. If you truly wish to die, then do it sooner."

At the sound of this, Huanyue's face grew even paler.

"Come, bring me some arsenic."

Huan Yue's face was no longer simply pale; her eyes were starting to show signs of panic.

Dugu Cheng was anxious, "Mother Empress, what are you doing You're making such a fuss. Do you only find happiness this way"

"I've never liked women who make a big fuss. Isn't she trying to die With this hairpin, if she doesn't die, her beauty might be marred, and then she'll probably cling to you even more. I gave her arsenic to drink. Arsenic is highly poisonous, death is quick, and painless."

Huanyue looked at Shutai, her lips trembling. As she saw the cup of arsenic being brought over, she could no longer hold on. She pretended to be unwell and fainted.

"Moon…"

獨孤城慌忙大喊，卻聽見淑太妃道，“昏過去更好，這砒霜入腹，很快就可以解脫了。”

獨孤城hurriedly shouted, but he heard Shu Taifei say, "It's better to faint. This arsenic in the stomach can release you very quickly."

Even pretending to be dead wouldn't work for Huanyue, she was burning with rage.

"Mother Empress, you've gone too far."

Dugu Cheng clenched his fist, "Even the moon is so saddened by this, and you still talk of arsenic. Must she truly die before my eyes"

"Didn't she herself desire death I merely provided her with a painless way to die."

Dugu City looked at Shu Taifei, his eyes full of disappointment in her words.

"Mother, when did you become a cold and ruthless woman of the palace"

"Bold!"

Shu Taifei roared, "Cheng'er, you say that your mother is cold and heartless, what about yourself What have you done for her, do you need your mother to remind you one by one Your mother really wants to slap you awake and make you more sober. This woman has been acting from beginning to end. You said she was weak, the doctor said she was fine, she only cried and fainted when she saw you. Tell me, mother, what did your mother do to her She looked like she had suffered a great injustice. Such a woman, are you blind or is your mother blind"

"Your Majesty, please refrain from speaking further."

The moon knelt, tears streaming down her face.

"The moon knows that everything the moon says is wrong. The moon knows her own body and heart. The moon has never complained in front of Empress Shu, she only cries when she wants to see the prince. The moon knows her own lowly status and is unworthy of the prince. Neither Empress Shu nor the prince need to make things difficult for her. The moon will leave, and she will never appear before the prince again."

Huanyue finished speaking, stood up and turned to leave. Dugu City rushed over and hugged her back, pleading, "Yue'er, don't go, this king said he wouldn't disappoint you, don't go."

"My lord, the moon doesn't want to leave either, but just as Shu Tai-fei said, the moon has caused you so much trouble. The moon truly doesn't want to make you go through such a difficult time any longer."

The moon's tears fell heavily, and the pain of separation in her cries made everyone who heard it heartbroken.

Dugu Cheng's eyes turned red.

"Moon."

With a choked voice, Shutai felt pity. However, she watched from the sidelines with cold eyes.

She wanted to see just how long this illusion of a moon could last.

"My lord, please let go of Yue'er."

Huan Yue pried open Dugu City's fingers, her tears falling even harder. She turned to face him, her eyes filled with tears, "Yue’er doesn't regret loving you, I hope Your Highness takes good care of yourself."

"Moon."

Dugu City clenched his fist, looked at Shu Taifei, and knelt down with a thud.

"Since mother can't accommodate Yue'er, then this son can only apologize to mother. This son is willing to leave with Yue'er."

"Okay."

The Shutai Concubine looked at Dugu City, her eyes showing no hint of reluctance.

"Since you insist on leaving, this imperial consort shall grant you your wish. With you gone, this imperial consort can bring Feng Lingxi back. This Fourth Prince's Manor can still function without you, but it will not be complete without her."

As soon as Shu Taifei's words fell, Huan Yue grabbed Dugu Cheng's arm and cried, "Your Highness, Yue'er won't implicate you, Yue'er will leave on her own."

After finishing, she pushed open Dugu City and wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes.

"The king said that the moon is your most beloved person. The moon knows the king's heart, and the moon will help you."

Huan Yue finished speaking and quickly ran out.

"Moon!"

Dugu Cheng saw this and sprinted after, but before he even got out the door, his body was frozen in place. Su Su gave him a tap on the back, and Dugu Cheng fell to the ground.

"Take the prince back to his room and take good care of him."

After giving her instructions, the Dowager Empress looked at Susu.

"You've really persevered through this play for so long."

Su Su smiled and said, "Sister, what are you talking about We're sisters. This is what I should do. I'll go see if that woman has gone out."

Shù Taifei responded, walking toward the main gate of the Prince's Mansion.

Huan Yue ran to the gate of the palace but did not hear any sound coming from behind. She stopped and turned around, but she didn't see Dugu Cheng's figure behind her. She was stunned. Dugu Cheng didn't come after her.

He couldn't possibly recover his memory, and she couldn't leave the Si Wangfu.por. They lay sprawled on the table. Feng Lingxi came down after finishing her work and saw Dugu Cheng lying on the table, her brows furrowed. She really meant it, huh"Xiao Li, tell the people to help...
