In the middle of July in Mobei, the weather has turned cooler.

Especially the wind after the rain disperses the last trace of heat and is refreshing.

After the baptism of rain, strings of water drops hung on the grass teeth, making it even more green. The fragrance of earth mixed with the smell of green grass is extremely refreshing.

On the vast Mobei grassland, a silver figure sat astride a maroon horse and looked north.

Not far away is Northern Xinjiang.

At this moment, an urgent sound of horse hooves resounded throughout the sky.

Jingzhe came on a fast horse, "Your Majesty, there is news from Shengjing that the princess found out about the metallurgy of Qixia Mountain through Liuxiang. Do you think my subordinates should ask someone to stop it?"

He was a little worried. Now that the prince was not in Shengjing, it would be terrible if something happened to the princess.

Just as He Lianxiao was about to nod, he suddenly thought of what the girl said that day. He frowned and said after a long time: "Protect in secret, don't interfere."

After Jingzhe left, the group set off north again.

Two days later.

The sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly.

Although the weather is not hot, the sun is scorching like fire, making people uncomfortable.

Looking at the yurt not far away, He Lianxiao loosened the reins, picked up the whip, and whipped the horse.

"Axiao, be careful of fraud." Ouyang Yu warned.

"Now that we are here, why be afraid?" He Lianxiao not only did not stop, but also accelerated his speed.

Not long after the group set out, a cold arrow suddenly shot through the sky.

"No, there's an ambush!" Ouyang Yu exclaimed and subconsciously looked at He Lianxiao, "Axiao, be careful!"

"My lord, it's not good!" Jingzhe came on a fast horse, his voice unable to conceal his anxiety, "I have news that the princess has been imprisoned in the palace by the emperor!"

When He Lianxiao heard this, his movements froze and his whole body froze in place.

At this moment, the prairie man opposite him raised his scimitar high and slashed at his knees.

Cold light flashed and blood was everywhere.

…

Royal palace, royal garden.

The weather at the end of July is crisp and clear, with clear skies and clear clouds.

After the autumn rain, the stagnation of summer heat dissipated from the heart, and everyone suddenly felt relaxed and happy.

Shen Zhiyi has been seriously ill since his birthday. Not only did he avoid the concubine's greetings, but he also closed the door of Ju Palace and lingered on the bed all day long. He didn't come out for some days.

During this period, the emperor, who always doted on her, had never been there even once.

He didn't even ask a question.

Everyone is speculating that Shen Zhiyi has most likely fallen out of favor.

In fact, as early as the day of the dance performance, her reputation as the most beloved concubine of East Vietnam was in jeopardy.

After taking the medicine for half a month, Shen Zhiyi's cold was finally better. She was fed up with the oppressive atmosphere of Guanju Palace. She was able to walk a little, so she went for a walk in the Imperial Garden with the help of the palace attendants. She couldn't wait to go out to take a breath.

After taking a few steps, she heard a burst of whispers.

"The Imperial Concubine has been ill for half a month, why haven't she recovered yet?"

"Who knows, the imperial doctor goes there every day and delivers precious medicinal materials to Guanju Palace. Not to mention the cold, even typhoid should be cured. In my opinion, the imperial concubine is probably suffering from a heart disease."

"No, the emperor has not been to Guanju Palace for half a month."

"Sure enough, flowers don't last forever, and no matter how beautiful a woman is, there will be a time when she gets tired of looking at them."

"Have you heard that the emperor got a new beauty from outside the palace a few days ago. With her appearance and figure, she is much more beautiful than the imperial concubine!"

"I know that she lives in Weiyang Palace next to Qianqing Palace, and it is the dormitory that our sisters went to clean up."

"No wonder, with a beautiful woman as his companion, how could the Emperor still remember the Imperial Concubine?"

Shen Zhiyi's face instantly darkened.
