Chapter 2: Extraordinary Excitement

e heard familiar footsteps approaching outside. She thought that Yun Meng, the chief steward, truly had a hard time; he started his day early and worked until late at night, walking over one hundred m...Chapter 2: Extraordinarily Interesting

Yun Qianyue looked somewhat speechless at Rong Jing. Was this the reason Not allowing her to get involved with him She didn't know whether she should laugh or cry. Indeed, a person's thoughts are shaped by who they are; it must be said that Rong Jing’s way of thinking is truly formidable.

"Yun Qianyue, what expression is that on your face Did you hear what I just said" Rong Jing frowned upon seeing Yun Qianyue's small face change expressions several times.

"I heard it! Mr. Rong! Do you not want me to get involved with you Fine then, if you don't want my involvement, that’s fine too. Keep your precious body all tense and uncomfortable!" Yun Qianyue lay down, stretched out her voice as she spoke, and closed her eyes. She never imagined that one day she would offer herself only for them to reject her in various ways, acting like virtuous gentlemen while making it seem like she was a licentious woman. That man!

"It's good then if you heard it!" Rong Jing seemed relieved and asked hesitantly as he looked at Yun Qianyue’s closed eyes, "So are you not angry anymore"

"Nope! It’s more practical to sleep than be angry with you." Yun Qianyue yawned. The previous day's emperor's birthday banquet had been exhausting, and she spent the night in an intellectual battle with that dead array. Then after returning, they argued for a long time; although it didn’t result in any resolution, it was still mentally taxing, so now she really felt sleepy. "Then let’s sleep." Rong Jing pulled Yun Qianyue's soft body closer.

Yun Qianyue fell asleep the moment she said she would. She quickly slipped into a deep sleep.

Rong Jing, however, with his eyes closed, couldn't fall asleep. Only Heaven knew how close he was to losing control. Seeing her beneath him, becoming passionate due to him and revealing her gentle side, he nearly wanted to crush her body against his own, tear her apart, chew her up, swallow her whole; but he couldn’t do that. He felt it wasn't enough, not because there wasn't enough physical desire, but because she hadn’t fully given herself over in her heart yet. So, he would gladly endure the craving for her, making her anxious and annoyed, with a drooling desire for him, until one day she would think only of him, without anyone else; until his heart was hers and no one could take it away from him. He was willing to wait for that day.

Inside the room was quiet, the two sharing warm breaths in a spring-like atmosphere.

Just before falling asleep, Yun Qianyue’s mind suddenly popped up with something, instantly chasing away her sleepiness. She abruptly opened her eyes to look at Rong Jing, "You still haven't explained what happened"

"What's there to explain" Rong Jing also opened his eyes.

"The matter of the banquet yesterday." Yun Qianyue asked, "Was Three Leaf Fragrance your handiwork"

Rong Jing shook his head, "It wasn’t me!"

"Huh" Yun Qianyue raised her eyebrows. She thought he must have set it up since he was well-prepared.

"It was the Emperor." Rong Jing met Yun Qianyue's gaze and explained calmly, "The Emperor laid a trap to use Night Tianyi’s feelings for you and your concern for me to lure you into danger. That is, the Jade Maiden Pool and the poison needles. He calculated that you would seek out the Nine-Turns Love Elixir Cauldron in his Holy Yang Hall and see the mural of the Jade Maiden Pool there. If you destroyed those murals, it would activate the mechanism; at that time, all four walls would simultaneously release hidden weapons, making it impossible for you to dodge them."

Yun Qianyue nodded, remembering how she had wanted to destroy the mural out of anger.

"Night Tianyi probably guessed the Emperor’s trap and went to Holy Yang Hall to stop you from going there. He brought you to the Golden Hall instead. But he thought the Emperor's target was either the Southern Liang State Tutor or me, wanting to help you and gain favor in your eyes. However, it turned out that the Emperor wanted to kill you, setting up poison needles with no return path in the Golden Hall." Rong Jing continued, "So when he discovered this, under urgent circumstances, he protected you. From this perspective, there’s indeed something for him regarding you."

Yun Qianyue recalled those perilous moments and Night Tianyi's protection of her. She nodded, “You knew about the Emperor's trap beforehand Otherwise, how could you appear so timely to catch those poison needles in the Golden Hall.”

"I also learned it from the letter you gave Nanyingrui. After discussing with the Southern Liang State Tutor, I understood the Emperor’s intentions. We went straight to the Golden Hall upon entering the palace because that was the only place where the Emperor could set up a trap during the banquet. The tutor and I discovered the traps and hidden weapons in the hall after arriving there, so we adjusted their placement before leaving. The tutor went to the Imperial Garden while I rushed to Holy Yang Hall and overheard Night Tianyi speaking those words to you." Rong Jing's tone turned somewhat sour when he said this.

Yun Qianyue thought it was indeed that way; after she sent a message through Linglian to Nanyingrui, she lingered at the Empress’s place for quite some time. After the empress left with Mingfei and others, she went to the Upper Study, only then arriving at Holy Yang Hall where the delay was ample time for Rong Jing and the Southern Liang State Tutor to set up traps in the Golden Hall. She smiled, "I didn’t listen to him."

"Yes, you did not follow his advice; however, you were a bit distracted back then." Rong Jing remarked irritably.

Yun Qianyue rubbed her nose and thought that it was better not to delve into this matter. She immediately changed the subject, "How did you set up those traps"

"They were arranged just as you saw them later on. Didn’t you notice how the poison needles had a no-return path though they were aimed at the tutor’s seat and actually targeted the Emperor’s seat Think about where you stood." Rong Jing explained.

Yun Qianyue recalled that her position along with Night Tianyi's retreat was indeed towards the emperor's seat. She nodded, "Yes, that’s right!"

"The same setup went for Three Leaf Fragrance," Rong Jing added.

"When Ye Qian brought a mirror out, I knew there were three leaves of fragrance in the hall. So Ye Qian must have known too" Yun Qianyue raised her eyebrows.

"The Princess Ye is naturally not simple." Rong Jing did not give an opinion either way.

Yun Qianyue thought that Ye Qian was indeed someone from the Southern Frontier royal family; even though she prided herself on being sharp-witted, when compared to those who grew up in the center of power and knew how to scheme behind the scenes, her mind seemed too naive. She paused for a moment before asking again, "Since the poison darts I received are fake now, does that mean Southern Liang State Tutor’s poison darts are also fake

"Hmm!" Rong Jing nodded.

"Then, what about the poison dart the old emperor was hit with" Yun Qianyue raised her eyebrows.

"It's true," Rong Jing said.

"Does the old emperor’s poison dart have any venom" Yun Qianyue asked again.

"There is, but it’s not fatal." Rong Jing shook his head.

"Why didn’t you make it a lethal dose Just kill him off!" Yun Qianyue thought of the old emperor and hated him to death. She had originally believed that she had escaped her family’s traditions and the constraints of the royal family. Although Ye Tianyi was persistent towards her, making her feel burdened, she still felt in her heart that it wouldn’t cause too much trouble at least for now. However, now that her mother's Green Jade Flute had appeared, she actually turned out to have an engagement with the royal family since childhood, not with the Crown Prince, but Ye Tianyi. This was different from just Ye Tianyi’s one-sided persistence; in ancient times, engagements were taken very seriously. At least publicly, this was a bargaining chip to shut up everyone who would gossip. Unless both parties agreed to terminate their engagement, if she broke it off, she would be seen as untrustworthy and faithless.

"He still can't die!" Rong Jing sighed.

"Why not I think he should have died long ago!" Yun Qianyue's tone was rather sharp.

"If he were to die, Ye Tianqin as the Crown Prince would reach his limit. Ye Tianqin isn't Ye Tianyi’s match; once Ye Tianyi ascends the throne, he wouldn’t be like the current emperor—he is too persistent towards you. The old emperor's being alive restrains him, but it also restrains Ye Tianyi in a way." Rong Jing spoke gently, his jade-like hand rubbing Yun Qianyue’s head affectionately. "So, he still can't die."

Yun Qianyue fell silent; indeed, looking at the current situation, it was better for the old emperor to be alive. Then let him live a bit longer.

"If I had known that your cold poison would one day be cured by you, I wouldn’t have allowed you and Ye Tianyi to get so close, leading him to never forget you." Rong Jing snorted.

Yun Qianyue tugged at the corner of her mouth. "Back then, I didn't know that I could cure you either. Who would’ve thought that starting the Phoenix Tribulation by accident ended up curing your cold poison. Can this be considered fate"

"It can!" Rong Jing also smiled.

Yun Qianyue recalled when she was in the underground Buddha hall of Lingtai Temple on Qingquan Mountain, where she had an inexplicable persistence to eliminate Rong Jing’s cold poison for him. In the end, it almost cost her life but eventually cured his incurable cold poison that even Master Ling Yin couldn’t treat. This really could be considered fate! She buried her head in Rong Jing's embrace and rubbed her forehead against his chest before suddenly whispering, "Rong Jing, are you sure you don't want me now"

Rong Jing’s body stiffened; he stopped smiling for a moment and then said with pursed lips: "I don’t!"

"Where does a man get so many twists and turns In such matters, women suffer more. You wouldn't suffer," Yun Qianyue grumbled unhappily. The palace should have been in chaos last night when the old emperor was injured; they were now resting in their estate, thinking it would be good to do something.

"I suffer!" Rong Jing said three words.

Yun Qianyue rolled her eyes. "Where do you suffer You’re a man! In such matters, men don’t suffer."

"I suffer," Rong Jing shook his head.

"You don't suffer!" Yun Qianyue emphasized. She had never heard of a situation where the man suffered in this kind of romantic affair. She wasn't some witch who would drain him dry of his essence.

"I suffer," Rong Jing said again.

"Rong Jing, I seriously emphasize that you truly don’t suffer!" Yun Qianyue felt she was just short of setting up a life-or-death oath. "Yun Qianyue, I truly suffer." He emphasized it once more and then added: “I won't let you have your way with me.”

Yun Qianyue was thoroughly speechless; closing her eyes, she said somewhat helplessly, "Alright, I won’t have my way with you. Mr. Rong, keep yourself around! It would be best to remain a perpetual bachelor. They say the longer wine is stored, the more fragrant it becomes. When the time comes, let me taste if this man becomes increasingly durable the longer he’s kept."

Rong Jing was silent for a moment and then affirmed resolutely: "It should be so!"

Yun Qianyue flipped her eyelids; she decided that discussing this with him wasn't worth it, better to sleep. She didn’t understand when did this selfish rascal start being so obtuse Was he trying to torment her to death Of course, she wouldn’t admit to herself that she was truly lingering over the feeling of his skin. With these thoughts in mind, her hand subconsciously reached for his brocade robe.

"Sleep," Rong Jing pressed down on Yun Qianyue's hand.

"No sleep!" Yun Qianyue switched to her other hand and tugged again.

Rong Jing held Yun Qianyue's other hand, his voice somewhat hoarse. "Be good and go to sleep!"

"Rong Jing, do you love me" Yun Qianyue raised her eyebrows. She recalled that in the streets of that world, such scenes often played out: a woman would ask a man if he loved her, the man would nod and say yes, and then everything would be fine. She decided to follow this script here.

Rong Jing's body stiffened as his eyes met Yun Qianyue’s; he nodded. "I love you!"

"Then that’s great! Since you love me, I also love you. So…," Yun Qianyue broke free from Rong Jing's hand and continued to pull at his clothes.

Rong Jing loosened his grip slightly when Yun Qianyue struggled out of it but quickly grabbed her hands again and shook his head. "No!"

"Rong Jing, you really can’t be swayed," Yun Qianyue thought that she was very innocent now, wanting to touch him.

Rong Jing’s expression flickered with a hint of unease; his voice rough yet gentle. "Be good and go to sleep!"

"I won’t do anything! I just want to hold you while sleeping." Yun Qianyue felt that she really had encountered an iron wall, which seemed difficult to break through now. She couldn't understand how Rong Jing had become such a gentleman without her noticing He should be given the title of Liu Xiaohui.

"Aren’t we hugging each other already" Rong Jing raised his eyebrows.

"No, you’re not holding me; I’m holding you! I want to sleep touching you," Yun Qianyue declared dominantly.

Rong Jing frowned and fell silent suddenly.

"Don’t tell me this isn’t allowed either!" Yun Qianyue was annoyed, glaring at him fiercely. "I’m not useless!"

"As I remember, I told you that I am older than you; you cannot be my elder sister in this lifetime. We are not related by blood, so you can't be my younger sister either," Rong Jing looked at Yun Qianyue and noticed her face wasn’t looking good after a moment of struggle. He finally gave in, "Alright, you can hold me while sleeping!"

"Then let go of my hands!" Yun Qianyue felt that it was time to show her strength; she wouldn't be treated like a weak cat.

Rong Jing obediently released his grip.

Yun Qianyue untied his waist belt and, under Rong Jing's gaze, slipped her hand into the opening of his clothes, touching his smooth skin. She took in a deep breath instantly. Thinking about how ‘what you can't have is always the best’ was indeed true; if Rong Jing had easily let her do what she wanted, she wouldn’t feel so satisfied after just touching him slightly. She closed her eyes and sighed, muttering, "Rong Jing, are you a man"

Rong Jing’s face darkened. “What do you think”

"Alright! You’re a man!" Yun Qianyue comfortably patted his chest and pinched it; the feeling was incredibly satisfying to her. Feeling that Rong Jing's body had stiffened somewhat, she chuckled, "Sleep now."

“Mm,” Rong Jing replied.

Yun Qianyue felt that she should be able to have a beautiful dream; even though there were no peach blossoms blooming in this dream, just touching the buds was better than nothing. She could only wait for them to bloom.

Rong Jing also closed his eyes and didn’t relax until Yun Qianyue’s steady breathing indicated that she was asleep. The soft arm around him and the small hand resting over his heart were like a hot iron on his chest, leaving no room for sleep in his mind.

After an unknown period of time, Xian Ge's voice suddenly came from outside the window, "Young Master!"

"Mm," Rong Jing replied with his eyes closed.

"Qian Gate has already been relocated; no traces were left behind." Xian Ge reported.

“Mm,” Rong Jing nodded again.

"Last night, after the Emperor was struck by a hidden weapon and the Seventh Prince used medical skills to save him, he fell into a coma. During this period of time, apart from you, Miss Qianyue, Crown Prince Rui, and Southern Liang’s Imperial Tutor, no one else was allowed out of the imperial palace. The Seventh Prince ordered people to seal off Golden Hall and all parts of the imperial palace. The Emperor just woke up; his first action upon regaining consciousness was to order an investigation into the Crown Prince's residence," Xian Ge added.

"Mm!" Rong Jing nodded.

Yun Qianyue had woken when Xian Ge arrived, and hearing that the old emperor’s first action upon regaining consciousness was to order an investigation of the Crown Prince's residence made her instantly open her eyes wide.

"Prince Diao is already leading five thousand imperial guards to the Crown Prince's residence!" Xiange reported.

"Hn." Rong Jing turned his head and glanced at Yun Qianmo.

Yun Qianmo pursed her lips. She thought back to yesterday when the old emperor was about to punish Ye Tianqiong for the poisoned needle incident. Because the arrangement of the banquet in the Golden Hall was done by Ye Tianqiong, she would naturally be responsible if anything went wrong. However, it was because of a single sentence that Ye Tianqiong's responsibility had been expanded. Now such an incident has occurred, causing injuries to Rong Jing, the Southern Liang Imperial Scholar, and the old emperor simultaneously. Additionally, many people at the imperial banquet yesterday, including Aunt Sun and envoys as well as court officials' families, were also injured by concealed weapons. Even though there wasn't much loss of life, some casualties did occur. Such an incident would be difficult to avoid blame even if it was unrelated to Ye Tianqiong, not to mention that the old emperor wanted to depose the Crown Prince and use this opportunity to make a decisive move.

"The Emperor has issued an edict, giving the Fourth Prince full authority to investigate this matter. The Crown Prince is temporarily detained in the Heavenly Prison." Xiange reported again.

"Hn!" Rong Jing nodded.

After Xiange finished reporting and waited for a moment without receiving any instructions from Rong Jing, he withdrew.

Yun Qianmo wondered why the old emperor didn't give Ye Tianyi full authority to investigate this time but chose Ye Tianyu. Was it to prevent Ye Tianyi from being accused of fratricide Or was it to give Ye Tianyu a chance She frowned, thinking that even though they say 'tiger does not eat its own cubs', in the imperial family and for the old emperor, this saying is nothing but nonsense.

"You're unwilling to part with Ye Tianqiong" Rong Jing saw Yun Qianmo's expression turn serious and her brows furrowed. He raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean unwilling I'm worried that the seventy-two springs of youth I gave them will be wasted." Yun Qianmo shot a glance at Rong Jing, thinking about whether Ye Tianqiong had any chance to turn things around this time.

"Yes, indeed it is an issue," Rong Jing agreed seriously.

Yun Qianmo suddenly sat up and pushed Rong Jing aside as she prepared to get out of bed.

Rong Jing was taken aback. He caught her wrist, "What are you planning to do"

"I'm going to the Southern Liang envoys' palace!" Yun Qianmo thought about some matters that she needed to clarify as soon as possible.

Rong Jing released his hand and looked at Yun Qianmo, "Are you looking for the Imperial Scholar of Southern Liang"

"Yes." Yun Qianmo nodded while putting on her shoes and walking towards a mirror to check herself and tidy up her messy hair.

"Maybe it's too late now. The Imperial Scholar of Southern Liang has already left." Rong Jing said.

Yun Qianmo paused, suddenly turning around to look at Rong Jing, "You mean he has left"

"Yes," Rong Jing nodded.

"The banquet just ended. The city gates have been sealed since yesterday. How could the Imperial Scholar of Southern Liang leave under these circumstances" Yun Qianmo frowned.

"You can check it out yourself! I'm only guessing." Rong Jing said.

"I'll go and see!" Yun Qianmo reached into her bosom to find that the jade token Empress had given her was still there. She stepped towards the door but paused, asking, "Are you going to stay in the residence and recuperate from today"

"Yes." Rong Jing nodded.

"Then take good care of yourself! I'll return home after coming back from the Southern Liang envoys' palace. Don't worry; I won't come see you for at least ten days or a couple of weeks." Yun Qianmo left without another word, lifting the curtain to leave.

"Wait!" Rong Jing called out.

Yun Qianmo stopped and raised an eyebrow as she looked back at him.

"No can do. When you come back from the Southern Liang envoys' palace, you're staying with me." Rong Jing said.

"No mood!" Yun Qianyue huffed.

Rong Jing frowned and asked, "Why no mood"

"Seeing you ruins my mood. How could I feel happy Actually, I’m not so interested in you either; you’re as thin as a bamboo pole, and holding onto you isn’t comfortable." Yun Qianyue sized up Rong Jing with a critical gaze and said slowly, "Actually, I prefer men who are more robust than you. You just have better skin, but I’ve already felt that enough earlier today and found it unremarkable. So, please take care of your injuries; I’m not interested in you anymore…"

"Yun Qianyue!" Rong Jing’s face turned cold, his voice strained.

Yun Qianyue enjoyed watching him change expressions and thought that she had finally vented her anger. She turned around without any lingering sentiment, lightly tapping her feet to float out of the Purple Bamboo Courtyard, then quickly leaped over the Purple Bamboo Forest, leaving the Rong王府.

Rong Jing watched the jingling curtains with an expression that was particularly vivid.

Xian Ge and Qing Shang heard Yun Qianyue’s words from outside the courtyard and thought to themselves how the Young Master and Miss Yun never missed a chance to clash.

After leaving Rong王府, Yun Qianyue headed straight for the Southern Liang Envoy’s residence. It was already dawn, and there was some mist in the air that morning; her light-footedness blended with it, allowing her to arrive at the Southern Liang Envoy’s residence within a short time.

Outside the Southern Liang Envoy’s residence were 1,000 soldiers dressed in Southern Liang attire and several hundred shadow guards around it. The entire area was tightly guarded like a golden fortress.

Yun Qianyue dodged the hidden guards and lightly landed before one of the main halls. As soon as she touched down, two silent hidden guards blocked her path. She raised an eyebrow slightly when she heard Nan Lingrui’s voice from inside: "Let her in!"

The two hidden guards quietly retreated.

Yun Qianyue glanced around and stepped into the main hall. The hall was spacious, and it seemed that Nan Lingrui had just woken up and was getting dressed; there was no one else present when she entered. She asked, "Brother, where is Southern Liang’s Imperial Tutor"

"He left!" Nan Lingrui glanced at Yun Qianyue.

"Really When did he leave" Yun Qianyue frowned.

"Yesterday, after leaving the palace." Nan Lingrui said.

"Back to Southern Liang I saw his jade palanquin! Did he just slip away without a sound" Yun Qianyue asked,

“He didn’t return to Southern Liang!" Nan Lingrui shook his head, sneering. "Little girl, when did you become so slow-witted Are you now under the control of Rong Jing’s love, completely befuddled Your intelligence is zeroed out”

Yun Qianyue exhaled a heavy breath. “What I mean is why did he leave in such a hurry"

"Hurry I don’t feel it. The Imperial Tutor only stays for two months each year, and every year at this time he leaves Southern Liang; now that the day has arrived, he naturally left. It’s just that this time he departed through Heavenly Saint." Nan Lingrui said slowly.

"Do you know where he went" Yun Qianyue thought to herself how she hadn’t expected the Southern Liang Imperial Tutor to leave so suddenly; if she had known, when she found out about Rong Jing’s false injury yesterday, she would have come here to stop him.

“I don't know! No one knows where the Imperial Tutor goes." Nan Lingrui shook his head and, now dressed, walked to the window to wash up.

"Then do you know what kind of relationship he has with Mother" Yun Qianyue followed Nan Lingrui’s gaze as she asked.

“Mother is his junior disciple!” Nan Lingrui replied.

“I know that, didn’t he say it himself in the hall I’m asking about a relationship that can’t be spoken of.” Yun Qianyue followed up.

Nan Lingrui was just pouring water to wash his face when he heard this and paused, raising an eyebrow at Yun Qianyue. "What kind of unspoken relationship"

"I feel…" Yun Qianyue pursed her lips, carefully considering for a moment before saying: “That there’s more to the relationship between him and Mother than just being master and disciple.”

“Little girl, did I not know that you are so keen on investigating Mother's love affairs Hmm” Nan Lingrui suddenly chuckled, his voice full of charm. "Do we need to say anything else The Imperial Tutor naturally likes our mother!"

Yun Qianyue rolled her eyes; after this long conversation she hadn’t gotten any useful information. She walked in and sat down on a chair, looking at Nan Lingrui and saying: “Tell me everything you know about the Southern Liang Imperial Tutor.”

"All I know is that he would go to Nan Liang and stay for two months every year. In the palace, he either plays chess or chats with Emperor Father. He doesn't socialize with officials in the court, and when he isn't accompanying Emperor Father, he reads books or admires flowers at his residence. On the surface, it looks like he is aloof from worldly affairs, but in reality, he is indifferent and not talkative. Towards me, he was neither cold nor warm," Nan Lingrui said while wiping his face with a handkerchief.

"That's all" Yun Qianmo raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, that's it! Do you think there is anything else I have been in Nan Liang for ten years. Besides the first year when they brought me to Nan Liang and then left, every subsequent year, he stays in Nan Liang for two months as you mentioned. It has always been like this over all these years," Nan Lingrui threw away the handkerchief and sat at the table. He shouted outside, "Breakfast!"

Someone immediately responded from outside.

"Then why do you still hold him in such high esteem" Yun Qianmo frowned.

"Fifteen years ago, when a single Imperial Advisor blocked off the Phoenix Pass against the Tian Sheng Empire's 150,000 troops, he was invincible and unyielding. Afterwards, he fell ill due to it. He is a great hero of Nan Liang; everyone respects him, from top to bottom. Even my father venerates him immensely. As the Crown Prince, I must show him respect, naturally. Besides, he is such a person that even if he does nothing, it's hard not to respect him," Nan Lingrui took a sip of hot tea on the table.

Yun Qianmo fell silent.

"Little girl, why are you so concerned about the Imperial Advisor from Nan Liang" Seeing Yun Qianmo frowning and remaining silent, he smiled and said, "Don't tell me that you've heard that he was once the most handsome man in the world So you want to see him"

"Do you think I care about an old man now that I have Rong Jing" Yun Qianmo snapped.

"That's not necessarily so! Have you seen his bearing It doesn't matter what age he is. He can be twenty, thirty, forty, even fifty or sixty years old, but he will still be the Imperial Advisor of Nan Liang. He is a person that one could easily pick out from thousands," Nan Lingrui said lazily.

"Indeed!" Yun Qianmo was indifferent and then changed her tone, "However, Rong Jing is just like him!"

Nan Lingrui snorted coldly. "Little girl, don't forget that you still have the surname Yun; you haven't taken on the surname Rong."

"I will eventually take it!" Yun Qianmo said.

"Not necessarily! There are half a year left until your coming of age and Rong Jing's adulthood. If Princess Donghai arrives before then, Rong Jing has to fulfill his betrothal agreement. At that time, you'll have to cry alone," Nan Lingrui mentioned this matter with apparent schadenfreude.

"Are you still my brother" Yun Qianmo kicked towards Nan Lingrui.

Nan Lingrui immediately dodged and said two words, "No! I don't have a sister who doesn't know shame like you! You talk about Rong Jing all day long. When the time comes and others no longer want you, how will you cope"

"If she dares to come, I'll make sure she doesn't even know how to die!" Yun Qianmo snorted, seeing Nan Lingrui rolling his eyes at her. She flipped her eyelid, "If you like someone, you should say so! Did you ever tell Ye Qian that you liked her If you had told her all the sweet nothings you said to those beauties in Prince's Mansion and various pavilions, would she have chosen Yun Muhan as her consort without hesitation"

Nan Lingrui suddenly fell silent.

Yun Qianmo looked at him, "Isn't it too late for regret now"

"Who said I am regretting Little girl, what do you understand I knew long ago that Ye Qian isn't like you; she couldn't have abandoned the Southern Frontier. And I am not Rong Jing either," Nan Lingrui suddenly shouted and reached into his chest to throw a sealed envelope to Yun Qianmo, "Here, the Imperial Advisor expected that you would look for him, so he left this for me."

Yun Qianmo was surprised and took the envelope. It was sealed, and she raised her eyebrows at Nan Lingrui.

Nan Lingrui said with bad temper, "The Imperial Advisor forbade me from seeing it; I don't know what's inside."

Yun Qianmo nodded and tore open the envelope. A handkerchief fell out. She unfolded it and saw the words on it, causing her to tremble and stand up abruptly.
