Chapter 43 Reversal Anger Kiss

it gets too late to visit the palace, Prince Seven doesn’t need to rush to pay his respects and can rest at home.""Prince Seven’s mansion" Rong Jing's voice remained indifferent."It means for him to r...Chapter 43: A Kiss to Turn the Tables in Anger

After Night Tianyi finished speaking, everyone saw Rong Jing standing at the door. Everyone held their breath for a moment, making it seem as though no one was present inside the room.

"Tianyi is right. Your arrival here is timely, Prince Consort Jing! Please come over and have a look!" The old emperor also looked towards Rong Jing, his keen gaze shining through his aged eyes. "If you can save Little Marquis Rao and prevent Prince Gong from losing his son in the twilight of life, I will rest easier."

"Prince Consort Jing, this old minister begs of you!" Prince Gong forcefully pushed the Great Rebirth Pill into Leng Shaozhuo's mouth several times before succeeding. He then turned to beg Rong Jing with a pleading face.

Rong Jing seemed not to have heard what anyone said; his gaze remained fixed on Yun Qianmo quietly and steadily.

Yun Qianmo also looked at Rong Jing. She admitted that she was greedy for the beauty of being with Rong Jing now, and did not want to regain her memories so as not to be plagued by past events. She thought that she had already been very heartless in rejecting Night Tianyi's proposal, and they had both petitioned for their engagement together clearly enough. She never imagined that Night Tianyi would refuse to give up on it. Underestimating this man’s determination led to them being put into a ridiculous situation. Her lips were tightly pursed; the more calm Rong Jing appeared, the more restless she felt in her heart. After all, she knew him better than anyone else after such a long time. His current appearance of calmness suggested that he was actually agitated inside! She could no longer bear to look at his gaze and tried to break away from Night Tianyi’s hand to go towards Rong Jing.

Night Tianyi held her hand tightly, not letting it go.

Yun Qianmo turned around angrily, glaring at Night Tianyi. Before she could blow up, she heard him say with a smile behind Rong Jing: "When Tianyi entered the palace, I saw Prince Consort Jing being糾纏by my sixth sister! I never expected her to follow here as well. If Prince Consort Jing had arrived earlier, it might have been possible to save Little Marquis Rao without having to use Yue’s Great Rebirth Pill!"

Yun Qianmo immediately stopped herself from speaking and turned around. She only then noticed that the Sixth Princess was standing not far behind Rong Jing. Today she did not wear her usual gorgeous princess gown, but instead a plain robe with no hairpins or decorations on her head. Her forehead was wrapped in a thin gauze to cover the wound inflicted by Yun Qianmo yesterday. She had lost her previous domineering air, and now her little face was streaked with unshed tears, making her look even more delicate and sorrowful. This was such an endearing sight that any man would feel pity for her. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat; the anger towards Night Tianyi was sealed in her throat, and she could only stare at the Sixth Princess with darkened eyes.

"Sixth Sister is too irresponsible! How can you obstruct Prince Consort Jing now" The old emperor also looked towards the Sixth Princess. Although his expression showed anger, there was no trace of it in his voice. "Fortunately Tianyi arrived on time and found Yue’s Great Rebirth Pill. It’s not too late for Prince Consort Jing to arrive now either. Whether Little Marquis Rao can be saved still depends on Prince Consort Jing; the Great Rebirth Pill is not enough."

"Prince Consort Jing, please come over and save my son! This old minister has offended you before, but Your Excellency does not dwell on minor transgressions. I only have this one son; if he’s gone, what will become of me" Prince Gong saw that Rong Jing didn’t move for a long time and rose to his feet, about to kneel down in front of him. Today, regardless of his status as a prince, he would not hesitate to beg on bended knee if it could save his son.

"Prince Gong need not bow so deeply; doctors have the heart of parents. If I am capable of saving Little Marquis Rao, Rong Jing will certainly do my utmost." Rong Jing lightly waved his sleeve and stopped Prince Gong from kneeling down. He turned away from Yun Qianmo and Night Tianyi who were standing at the bedside and looked at Leng Shaozhuo lying on it calmly.

Yun Qianmo suddenly lowered her head.

Everyone stared at Rong Jing, feeling a heavy atmosphere in the room that made them hold their breaths.

A moment later, Rong Jing turned to look at the old emperor and said, "Jing can save Little Marquis Rao."

"Really Prince Consort Jing… this old minister… as long as you save my son… I would be forever grateful…" Before the old emperor could speak, Prince Gong rushed over with a face full of excitement. He looked at Rong Jing incoherently.

"I knew that Prince Consort Jing can bring him back to life! In our Heavenly Sheng Kingdom, there’s no one else who can do what Prince Consort Jing does!" The old emperor was also overjoyed.

“But I’ll have to perform acupuncture for about a month.” Rong Jing changed the subject and glanced indifferently at Night Tianyi. “The Great Rebirth Pill is indeed precious medicine, but its nature is too strong; it’s meant for martial artists in critical condition, worth millions of gold pieces, able to bring back life and preserve their vital signs after taking it. However, for ordinary people with no martial skills whatsoever, they cannot withstand the excessively potent properties of this drug. Hence, while administering the medicine, I also need to perform acupuncture to help him resist the strong reaction from the aftermath of the Great Rebirth Pill; otherwise, even if he recovers, he might become an idiot.”

“Prince Consort Jing was delayed due to being held up by my sixth sister earlier. It’s no fault of Tianyi that we had to use Yue’s Great Rebirth Pill,” Night Tianyi said with a slight smile.

"No matter what, as long as Little Marquis Rao can be saved, it's fine! After all, getting a month's worth of acupuncture is still better than losing his breath." He then looked at Prince Gong and asked, "Uncle Cold, do you agree"

“Yes, yes. Seventh Prince is right! Please go ahead with the acupuncture, Prince Consort Jing; as long as my son can be saved,” Prince Gong nodded repeatedly.

"Alright!" Rong Jing nodded and said to the old emperor: "Rong Jing will start the acupuncture for Little Marquis Rao now. I prefer to do it alone. Please allow me a moment, Your Majesty and everyone."

"Prince Jing, you have been working hard!" The old emperor nodded and walked out of the room.

The imperial physician inside the palace originally wanted to see how Prince Rong would save Cold Young王爺, but also knew that they wouldn't be able to witness it. Thus, he stood up and hurriedly followed behind the old emperor as he left.

King Xiaoqin remained still, looking at Rong Jing with anticipation.

Rong Jing said coolly, "King Xiaoqin, please also go outside and wait for a moment."

Although King Xiaoqin did not want to leave, he knew Rong Jing's rules. He could only walk out of the room.

"Moon兒, let’s go out and wait as well!" Ye Tianyi pulled Yun Qianyue and walked out.

"The seventh prince can go out, but she needs to stay behind." Without looking at them, Rong Jing reached into his chest, took out a small brocade box, opened it, revealing an array of golden needles. The needles were as thin as cow hairs. He picked up one with his hand and said coolly.

"Oh Why is that, Prince Jing" Ye Tianyi stopped in his tracks and raised his eyebrows.

The old emperor and others who had walked to the doorway also paused and looked back at Rong Jing.

"Her blood can help me with acupuncture. Seventh Prince, is this reason enough" Rong Jing looked at Ye Tianyi, "If it's not enough, I can change my reason." After speaking, he looked at Yun Qianyue, his voice cool and calm, "Tell the seventh prince whether your request for a marriage order yesterday was sincere or fake. Was it because you were angry with him or did you truly intend to act on your feelings Clear up who is the person you like so that the seventh prince won't misunderstand."

Ye Tianyi tightened his grip on Yun Qianyue's hand, "Why does Prince Jing say this Moon兒 merely got upset because I returned late. Moreover, the earrings she wears now are not fake; they were ones I asked my mother for her."

"What can a pair of earrings prove" Rong Jing raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Tianyi, "Does Seventh Prince mean that mutual affection and private betrothal make these earrings tokens of love" As he finished speaking, without waiting for Ye Tianyi to speak, he said coolly, "Was it ten years ago when I was seriously ill At the time, she was barely five years old but already knew how to accept tokens from the seventh prince"

Ye Tianyi's eyes darkened.

"If something given to her at age five counts as a token of love, then these past years she must have received countless such items! How many people gave Miss Qianyue gifts on her birthday From childhood until now, it was not just the seventh prince who sent her earrings. The Crown Prince, Fourth Prince, Young Lord Ran, and all the princes in the palace, did none of them ever give her anything" Rong Jing looked at Ye Tianyi with a cool expression, "Not every item can be called a token of love. Only sachets and jade pendants count as tokens. Seventh Prince, these years you haven't been in the capital; do you think that Tian Sheng City is like Beijiang Can one pass feelings through a poplar leaf"

Ye Tianyi's eyes turned cold, his tone slightly heavy, "Although she was too young to count at five when I gave her something, we’ve been exchanging letters back and forth all these years in Beijiang. If there were no affection between us, why would we continue corresponding Prince Jing doesn’t understand; even if a man and woman exchange letters for years, that doesn't mean anything!"

"Seventh Prince’s mother passed away, leaving him alone in Beijiang. You two have always been close friends from childhood, it's natural for her to care about you as a friend. Exchanging letters over the years does not necessarily prove affection, right" Rong Jing raised his eyebrows and glanced at Yun Qianyue, saying coolly, "Show him my jade pendant! Oh, yes, also show him my handkerchief that you've always kept carefully; and the Crimson Beauty Brocade I gave you. Show all of them to the seventh prince so he knows what true tokens of love are. Don't make a laughingstock out of yourself!"

Ye Tianyi didn't expect Rong Jing would expose their connection with three sentences after finding an opportunity. He pursed his thin lips tightly, looking at Rong Jing with dim eyes.

Yun Qianyue also hadn’t expected that the awkward situation set up by Ye Tianyi would be overturned so easily in a few words from Rong Jing. While she felt relieved, the slight pain transmitted through her hand tightened her heart; it reminded her of when Little Seven had once squeezed her hand painfully. That time was during their selection into the Safety Bureau. Back then, she was overjoyed and didn't notice how painful it was. Today's sharp pain made her almost unbearable to bear. The pain helped her realize clearly that he wasn’t Little Seven.

She looked at Ye Tianyi; suddenly gritting her teeth, she controlled her inner energy to concentrate on her wrist, sending all of her internal energy there and instantly breaking free from his tight grip. She reached out for Rong Jing's jade pendant. Her feelings for Rong Jing were sincere, and their request for a marriage order was genuine. Of course, she couldn’t let him bear the brunt alone! Letting him be ridiculed!

Some things must come to an end; otherwise, they would cause chaos.

Ye Tianyi’s wrist went numb from Yun Qianyue's sudden burst of energy and he loosened his grip. He looked at her, withdrawing his gaze from Rong Jing. Seeing her reach into her chest, he narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Moon兒, don’t force me!"

Yun Qianyue paused in her movements but pretended not to hear him and continued searching for the jade pendant. That jade pendant she had taken from Rong Jing; if she hadn't known earlier that sachets, handkerchiefs, and jade pendants were commonly used as tokens of love between men and women, she would have learned after all this time. She liked this jade pendant very much, never intending to return it, nor did she plan to do so in the future!

"Moon兒, don't force me! You now only suffer from amnesia. I only ask for fairness. But you cannot use your amnesia as an excuse and deny me even a fair chance. If that's the case, don’t make me do something I would regret myself. Today is one thing. If you still remain stubborn tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after that, and every day thereafter, I will continue to do so until you change your mind." Ye Tianyi looked at Yun Qianyue while continuing to whisper in her ear; his clear voice entered her ears distinctly.

Yun Qianyue remained unmoved; she was least afraid of threats! Threats were useless to someone like her, who had cold blood and a cold heart!

"These years, you pretended to seek perfection for me, doing countless things. You have forgotten them, but I haven't. Opening mountains for water to alleviate the drought in Northern Frontier five years ago; using schemes to solve the chaos there; terraced fields, irrigation, transforming barren lands into fertile ones and making it prosperous. How many assassins sent by my Imperial Brother did you handle These things, don't force me to say them out loud. Once I say them, Your Majesty will definitely not let you leave Tian Family again. Perhaps soon, I can give you the wedding order!" Night Tianyi looked at Yun Qianyue and spoke calmly, enunciating each word clearly.

Yun Qianyue's hand suddenly stopped, raising her head to look at Night Tianyi.

"Moonie, just because of amnesia, are you completely excluding me from your memories Even if there is a chance for recovery Are you prepared to lock away all the memories related to me forever Make everything that happened non-existent Can you treat me fairly" Night Tianyi met Yun Qianyue's gaze and revealed a bitter smile on his lips, "I don't want to be ruthless towards you, but you're too ruthless! You didn't even leave any room for chance! These years, I've known you well. If I hadn't forced you, would you have planned to continue like this with Jing Shizi until our wedding day Until there's no place in your heart and eyes for me"

Yun Qianyue suddenly couldn't turn her head, not wanting to look at Night Tianyi.

"I tell you now, I can't do it! Not only now, but also in the future!" Night Tianyi's voice was slightly cold, "I can give up everything. Even if I leave the capital city and return to Northern Frontier permanently, I won’t come back to Tian Saint City. But for you, I will never let go!"

"Then what do you want" Yun Qianyue suddenly withdrew her hand from the jade pendant and looked at Night Tianyi.

"I only ask that you treat me fairly." Night Tianyi stared at Yun Qianyue, "Shizi Jing can gain your affection because of amnesia. If I wasn't around, you would like him. But if I returned to the capital earlier, you certainly..."

"I agree with you! Stop talking!" Yun Qianyue interrupted Night Tianyi’s words and said one by one, "Restore my memory!"

Night Tianyi suddenly stopped speaking.

Yun Qianyue didn't look at him again. She turned to walk towards Rong Jing.

What he said was right; if he hadn’t forced her today, she would have decided never to recover her memories for the rest of her life. The past is in the past and should remain there. But things didn't go as planned. Night Tianyi had too much involvement with her. If he announced publicly that all those events were accomplished by her, then the old emperor might really give a marriage order between them right on the spot, which would cause irreversible consequences!

Opening mountains for water, terracing fields and irrigation were not methods thought of by ancient people. The productivity in this world wasn’t advanced enough to do that! Therefore, she didn't doubt Night Tianyi's words just now at all; they were things she did for him before.

Therefore, she could only agree with him! There was no other choice!

The two of them talked in a secret voice transmission; everyone couldn't hear them. They only saw Yun Qianyue leave Night Tianyi and walked towards Rong Jing silently after looking at each other for some time. Meanwhile, Rong Jing hadn’t looked at the two people once since his earlier words to everyone. Everyone turned their gaze to the old emperor, thinking that Prince Jing's and Miss Shallow Moon’s request for a marriage order yesterday was shocking enough; today, the seventh prince added another thunderbolt on top of it, making everyone even more alarmed.

The old emperor’s eyes roamed between the three people, his deep gaze hidden under his sharp vision. Seeing Yun Qianyue walking towards Rong Jing, he looked at Night Tianyi and smiled, "Miss Moon is still a girl; she's shy about this matter. We can talk later. First, let's treat Cold XIAOZHUO’s illness with the acupuncture needles as soon as possible. Tianyi, since Prince Jing needs Miss Moon’s blood to do it, you can't help us. Come out and follow me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Night Tianyi nodded.

"Little Six also come out!" The old emperor looked at the sixth princess for a moment before leaving the palace hall.

The sixth princess looked at Rong Jing and hesitated for a while but still walked out.

Night Tianyi glanced at Yun Qianyue, pursed his lips, and also left.

After the three people left, XIAOQIN Prince and all the physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau hurriedly followed them. In a short while, only Rong Jing, Yun Qianyue, and the unconscious Cold XIAOZHUO remained inside the hall.

Yun Qianyue stood in front of Rong Jing, not saying anything and offering her hand to him. Rong Jing didn’t look at Yun Qianyue once. He wiped all the acupuncture needles clean before picking one up and pricking his own finger with it.

Yun Qianyue was shocked, immediately reaching out to stop his hand, "Didn't we say using my blood What are you doing

Rong Jing didn't even lift his head to look at Yun Qianyue. His voice was faint, "Let go!"

Yun Qianyue held onto him without moving and pursed her lips as she looked at him. Should she blame herself today for not recovering her memory for his sake, hence being restrained by Ye Tianyi Or should she blame herself for seeing Ye Tianyi and inadvertently thinking of Little Seven, causing her to be constrained by him and allowing him to publicize their connection Or was it because she didn't loudly refute him at the time that he had been able to hold onto her despite not being able to defeat Ye Tianyi But why did he get delayed for so long due to Princess Six糾纏ing him

"Let go!" Rong Jing's voice grew a little deeper.

Yun Qianyue didn't let go, pressing her lips tightly together.

"I said let go. Didn’t you hear me" Rong Jing’s tone turned colder.

Yun Qianyue remained silent and did not budge an inch.

Suddenly, Rong Jing put down the needle and grabbed Yun Qianyue's body, pulling it into his embrace. He lowered his head to look at her intensely. After a moment, he leaned in closer and pressed his lips heavily on hers for a kiss.

Yun Qianyue smelled the familiar scent of snow and lotus flowers, pure and clear. Just short moments without it seemed like an eternity. She had just endured so much emotional turmoil that her heart felt as if it had been scorched repeatedly; now she was being returned to a warm spring bath. The pent-up breath dissipated instantly, and her tightly pressed lips loosened as she relaxed in his embrace.

She knew he was extremely angry!

He had every reason to be furious!

And so was she!

But with Ye Tianyi… even though she could be ruthless towards him, she couldn’t bring herself to do something drastic against him after his gentle words. Not only did he resemble Little Seven, but deep down in her heart, she just couldn't.

Rong Jing suddenly let go of her and looked at her with a grave expression; his voice was low and cold as he asked, "What did you promise him"

Yun Qianyue pressed her lips together and said softly, "To be fair to him!"

Rong Jing pushed her away forcefully, "Get out now!"

Yun Qianyue staggered back but managed to stand steadily. She looked at Rong Jing; he no longer paid attention to her and picked up the needle, plunging it into his ten fingers again. Yun Qianyue was about to step forward when she heard him say coldly, "Get out!"

Yun Qianyue’s steps halted as she saw Rong Jing insert several gold needles all over his hand in an instant. She pursed her lips and stood still.

"Get out!" Rong Jing said again.

A sudden wave of anger rose in Yun Qianyue's heart, and she turned around and walked out the door.

Upon hearing Yun Qianyue’s footsteps leave the room, Rong Jing suddenly closed his eyes. After a moment, several gold needles on his hand turned blood red before he opened his eyes again and pulled them off. He gently waved his hand as the needles were inserted into various acupoints around Leng Shaozhuo's body.

When Yun Qianyue stepped out of the door, sunlight hit her directly; she squinted uncomfortably.

"Little Moon, how did you manage to leave so quickly" The old emperor saw Yun Qianyue come out and asked.

"He said I'm no longer needed!" Yun Qianyue glanced at the old emperor but didn't say she hadn’t been used. Rong Jing had inserted all the needles into his own hands; it was unlikely he would need her assistance.

"Yun Qianyue, since you've been corresponding with Seventh Brother for years, why are you still trying to seduce Jing Shizi Aren't you acting shamelessly…" As soon as Princess Liu saw Yun Qianyue come out, her beautiful eyes glared at her in anger. "You... You're shameless!"

Yun Qianyue looked at Princess Liu and noticed that she was standing next to the old emperor with a thinner veil on her head. The sunlight shone through it faintly, revealing the scar on her forehead. She narrowed her eyes to look at the scar and leaned lazily against the door frame. "Princess Liu, is your forehead scar not deep enough Do you want me to hit you two more times"

Princess Liu's body trembled as she immediately became furious. "This princess hasn't even had a chance to confront you yet! Why did you dare to hit me"

"Just because of your mouth that deserves a beating!" Yun Qianyue looked at Princess Liu and said casually, "Today Cold Noble Consort's mouth deserved a beating so I taught her a lesson on behalf of my uncle the emperor. All it took was one slap from me to leave two marks on her face and knock out one tooth. Do you think your face is sturdier than Cold Noble Consort's"

Princess Liu's expression changed as she involuntarily stepped back, before remembering that the Emperor was present. Tears immediately welled up in her eyes. "Father, Yun Qianyue hit me yesterday and even slapped Your Majesty’s Noble Consort today. She is truly lawless and doesn't respect you at all! Look at her; she seduced Seventh Brother and now she's trying to seduce Jing Shizi. How shameless of her!"

"Princess Liu, stop talking nonsense!" Ye Tianyi frowned and interrupted.

"Seventh Brother, isn't what I said correct Why are you defending her Look at all the things she has done! What I'm saying is true!" Princess Liu looked at Ye Tianyi. "These years everyone knows that she followed behind Crown Prince Imperial Brother, but during this time she also wrote letters to you. After Crown Prince Imperial Brother rejected her, she started seducing Jing Shizi. Not only that, there's also Xiao Wangyao and Southern Liang’s Crown Prince; even my fourth brother is infatuated with her…"

"Princess Liu, maybe I should just say that I'm very talented at charming men all over the world!" Yun Qianyue sneered.

"Yun Qianyue, are you planning to charm every man in this world as well You really have no shame!" Princess Liu glared at Yun Qianyue angrily.

“Even if I were to charm all the men of the world, would that bother you, Princess Liu” Yun Qianyue raised an eyebrow and said sarcastically. “Oh right, it does affect you because you like Rong Jing! Am I shameless and you’re not Isn’t your behavior no different from mine every day running to Honor王府 (Rongwangfu) Don't be hypocritical. You only see others but can't see yourself.”

“You...” Princess Liu was speechless. She turned toward the old emperor, “Father, look at her…”

"Sixth Child, your seventh brother is right; stop talking nonsense. With all these ministers around, aren’t you afraid of being ridiculed if you fight with that girl" The old emperor scolded Princess Liu and asked sternly, "Tell me, why did you stop Jing Shizi just now"

Princess Liu didn't expect the old emperor to not punish Yun Qianyue. She lowered her head and replied softly: “Nothing!”

"Nothing" The old emperor looked at Princess Liu sternly, "Tell me the truth!"

Princess Liu's body trembled as she said through gritted teeth, “I don’t trust the physicians in the palace to treat my head wound so I wanted Jing Shizi to cure it.”

"For this reason" The old emperor clearly didn't believe her.

“Yes, for this reason!” Princess Liu nodded.

"Did Jing Shizi agree" The old emperor looked at Princess Liu and glanced inside the Imperial Medical Pavilion.

Princess Liu bit her lips tightly, suddenly looked up and nodded inside the pavilion with a very small voice, “He agreed!”

“Hmm, with Jing Shizi’s skills, your scar will definitely heal.” The old emperor nodded and no longer paid attention to Princess Liu. He turned to Ye Tianyi. "Tianyi, tell me about your letter correspondence with that girl over the years."

Ye Tianyi looked at Yun Qianyue upon hearing this.

Yun Qianyue didn't seem to hear anything and lazily leaned against the door frame while closing her eyes. In this situation, she would see what he could explain to the old emperor!

"Father, you know that my manor is located west of Yun Wangfu, so I often played with Yue when we were young. After my mother passed away, I went alone to Northern Frontier where it's extremely cold and barren. No one was there for me except Yue who always wrote letters encouraging me and sending clothes and other necessities. If not for her support, Your Majesty’s humble servant would have long fallen into despair and wouldn't have achieved any military merit these years!" Ye Tianyi replied respectfully.

"Oh Moon doesn't know how to read, yet she still writes letters" The old emperor looked at Ye Tiane.

"Those weren't written words but sketches." Ye Tiane glanced at Yun Qianmo and shook his head.

"Sketches Do you have them with you Show it to me!" The old emperor also looked at Yun Qianmo.

"Your son only brought one along, the rest are in Northern Border." Ye Tiane reached into his chest, took out a letter and handed it to the old emperor.

Yun Qianmo opened her eyes and looked at the letter. She saw that the envelope was extremely old but the paper inside was excellent, made from superior Xuan paper. Besides, there were no creases on the paper as if it had been preserved very well.

The emperor took the envelope and pulled out the letter which dropped a crabapple flower along with the paper. The petals of the crabapple flower had dried but remained intact. He lifted the flower to take a look at Ye Tiane and asked him with a smile, "Why is there also a flower in here"

"Your Highness, this was when Your Son first arrived in Northern Border, and there were no crabapple flowers there. It was precisely the time that Beijing crabapple trees were blooming. Moon cut one branch of a crabapple tree to send it with the letter." Ye Tiane said.

The old emperor nodded his head. He put away the flower and looked at the letters. There were seven or eight pages, which he flipped through but didn't understand. "What are all these Can you make sense of them"

"Your Highness, I can." Ye Tiane nodded.

"Come here, explain it to me too. Let's see what Moon has told you." The emperor handed the letter over to Ye Tiane but didn't hand him the crabapple flower.

Ye Tiane reached out and took the letters, then glanced at Yun Qianmo and saw that she was looking straight at him. He smiled warmly at her before bowing his head down to look at the letters. With a gentle smile on his face, he said, "The first page is about a wall. The wall connects Yunwang Manor with my residence, while this little bird叼著小草 (holding a blade of grass) and lying on top of an insect on that wall represents Moon herself. She was telling me that she felt rather lonely since I left."

"So it's like that!" The old emperor nodded.

"The second page is about two insects fighting, with another insect trying to break them up but failed and ended up beating both of the fighting insects. One insect represents Fourth Brother because its tail has four blades of grass." Ye Tiane glanced at Ye Tianyu who was staring wide-eyed at him before he continued smiling, "And the other insect is the Crown Prince in the Imperial Hospital now with a snowflake painted on its tail. The one that beat them both is holding a blade of grass in its mouth, which is Moon's lifelong habit—she used to hold a blade of grass every day and Your Highness had scolded her many times but she never changed."

"Mm-hmm, yes, I know about it." The old emperor nodded with a smile.

"The third page is about the Crown Prince being beaten up. When he saw that, Xianxiao Prince couldn't stand it anymore and rushed to you to complain. You punished her by making her kneel outside the palace but she lied on the ground looking at the stars instead. In the end, she got a cold and fell into an unconscious state for several days which frightened Old Yun王爺 (King). He went to Xianxiao Prince's Manor and beat him up." Ye Tiane glanced at Yun Qianmo who was listening attentively then continued smiling, "In Moon's heart, Old King is always the black-faced grandfather. He often beats or scolds her so this big insect has a black head. As for Xianxiao Prince, he always protects his daughter so there are two hands on its body…"

"Hahaha, that's how it was!" The old emperor burst out laughing, "Yes, I remember exactly what happened!"
