If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

The imperial physician gave Guangning some medicine, and finally after a day and a night, Guangning woke up.

Looking at the silver gauze curtain, the large pillow embroidered with ginger-yellow onion-green branches and flowers, and the warm and comfortable brocade quilt, her eyes moved.

She was rescued.

This is the palace.

She wanted to cry out loud, but she couldn't.

"Guangning..." Concubine Yao felt extremely distressed and went forward to hug her, "How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Guangning's eyes were lifeless and she couldn't utter a word.

The scenes of that day kept coming back to my mind.

Those men pressed on her, the stench, the yellow teeth, the saliva that made her want to vomit...

They were like wild beasts, wanting to tear her to pieces.

"Ugh..." Guangning began to dry heave.

Concubine Yao looked at her daughter who was vomiting all over the place, and her tears were almost dry.

Guangning hit himself hard, "Dirty, dirty!"

"Guangning!" Imperial Concubine Yao grabbed her hand, "It's over, it's all over. Your mother has washed you clean. You are not dirty. You are not dirty."

Do not!

Dirty!

Everything was dirty.

Guangning lifted the quilt, tore off her clothes, and when she saw the marks on her skin that had not yet disappeared, she went completely crazy.

She wanted to die.

Why not let her die.

Concubine Yao couldn't catch her alone, so she had to ask Qinghe and Chuzhi to help.

"Your Highness, you will hurt yourself if you do this." Qing He cried.

"Where is the prince consort?" Concubine Yao was sweating profusely.

Lu Heng, who was outside the palace, heard the noise and strode in, "Princess."

Guangning froze and looked at Lu Heng with fear in her eyes.

"Don't come here, don't come here."

Lu Heng paused.

"Guangning, that's the prince consort." Concubine Yao said softly.

"Don't touch me, don't touch me!" Guangning couldn't hear what anyone said. She seemed to be back to the moment that made her despair.

Those people stretched out their hands to her, and every inch of her skin felt like it was being torn apart.

When the emperor learned that Guangning had woken up, he immediately went to Zhaoxi Palace.

When he saw his daughter's pale face, he went forward with heartache.

"No, don't come over." Guangning cried out in horror.

She was afraid of any man approaching her, whether it was her husband or her father.

Imperial Concubine Yao cried, "Guangning, that's your father, the emperor."

Guangning couldn't listen, she couldn't recognize them.

In her eyes, they were all beasts.

"Ahhhhhhh..." Guangning let out a heart-wrenching scream, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted in Concubine Yao's arms.

Concubine Yao was heartbroken.

Only then did she realize that the damage caused to Guangning by this incident was not just the physical wounds, but also the indelible memories and pain in his heart.

"Your Majesty, our daughter...what should we do with our daughter?" Concubine Yao asked crying.

"I will definitely avenge her, I will!"

Lu Heng lifted his robe and knelt down, "Your Majesty, Madam Imperial Concubine, please allow me to leave the palace to find out the truth. The princess is my beloved, but now she has suffered such a disaster. If I cannot personally avenge her, I will not be able to rest in peace for the rest of my life."

Imperial Concubine Yao looked at him and said, "Prince Consort, Guangning needs your company and comfort the most right now. If you are here at this time..."

Lu Heng raised his head, his eyes firm and clear, "Guangning is my wife, and I will never leave her for the rest of my life."

"I'll remember what you said," said Concubine Yao.

"Lu Heng, don't let Guangning down, otherwise, I will never let you go."

The emperor just looked at Concubine Yao with pity in his eyes.

"Yes." Lu Heng kowtowed.

……

……

When Lu Yuan learned that Princess Guangning had woken up, he brought two female cavalrymen from the Pacification Office into the palace.

Concubine Yao didn't want them to go in and question her.

"Guangning is emotionally unstable right now. If you go and question her, it will remind her of those painful memories."

Lu Yuan said: "Your Majesty, only if we catch the criminals as soon as possible and bring them to justice can the princess untie the knot in her heart."

Of course, Concubine Yao knew that in order to catch the criminals, she must have Guangning's confession, as she was the only one who had seen those people.

"Your Majesty, these two are very experienced female cavalrymen from the Pacification Bureau. Why don't we let them give it a try? If the princess is in a bad mood, we will stop immediately." Lu Yuan said.

Concubine Yao finally agreed.

Lu Yuan asked her not to be at the scene and only let two female riders go in to question Guangning.

"If Guangning feels a little uncomfortable, stop asking her immediately." Concubine Yao said in a deep voice.

"Yes, your majesty." The two female Tiqi responded respectfully.

After the two female guards rode in, Concubine Yao became visibly anxious.

She looked towards the bedroom from time to time, and as long as Guangning cried, she would immediately go in to stop him.

Time passed little by little, and no sound came from the bedroom.

Concubine Yao frowned, "Why is there no sound?"

Lu Yuan: "My queen, it's a good thing that there is no sound. They can convince the princess to face it."

The second prince also rushed over after hearing the news.

Concubine Yao whispered about Guangning's excitement after he woke up.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to forget these experiences in a short period of time, and they will become a nightmare for my whole life," said Concubine Yao with heartache.

"Commander Lu, can you make Guangning forget those things?" The second prince looked at Lu Yuan.

He knew that there was a capable person in the Pacification Office who could make people forget certain things through hypnosis.

Lu Yuan said: "There are indeed such Tiqi who can hypnotize people, but they may not be able to completely forget things."

When Imperial Concubine Yao heard that there was someone with this ability, she immediately said, "You can give it a try. As long as you can forget a little bit, it will be fine."

"Your Majesty, if the injury Princess Guangning suffered was too severe, she would be eager to forget and might forget more memories."

“Maybe you’ll even forget the people around you.”

Imperial Concubine Yao said, "That's better than remembering those things. I agree that you can hypnotize Guangning."

Lu Yuan nodded, "I obey your orders."

After an hour, the two female Ti riders finally came out.

They bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, sir, I have done my best to fulfill your orders."

After that, they presented the portraits in their hands.

There are five photos in total, all of which are of men with hideous and ugly faces, and each of them has a dirty look on his face, looking like street thugs.

Concubine Yao closed her eyes and hated them in her heart.

"There must be someone behind them directing them. After we catch them, we must keep them alive and interrogate them." Concubine Yao said.

Lu Yuan cupped his hands, "Yes."

Concubine Yao turned and entered the bedroom. Seeing that Guangning had fallen asleep, she sat down gently beside the couch.

"Arrest him immediately." Lu Yuan ordered.

After a few days, these men might not still be alive, and the people behind them would definitely kill them to silence them.

However, as long as it is done, it will definitely leave traces.

Just as the Pacification Division quietly began arresting people in and around Shangjing City, a certain remote place was also keeping an eye on everything in the city.

"You're useless. You can't do anything good but you're always causing trouble! Who told you to feed her red flowers?" Angry curses were heard.
