Chapter 9: Powdered Face Peach Blossom

  Mrs. Zhao immediately took over the golden leaf and handed it to Rong Jing with a bow.

  Rong Jing raised his head to look at Yun Shang Yue, and saw that she had already lowered her head, unable to see the expression on her face. He only saw her lips slightly pursed. He turned to Zhao's mother, smiled faintly, and said in a warm voice: "Your young lady likes this golden leaf very much, give it to her!"

  "Yes!" Zhao's mother handed over the golden leaf to Yun Shangyue.

  Yun Shallow Moon didn't reach out to take it, but instead looked up at Rong Jing, who was looking back at her with a warm and gentle gaze. She pouted slightly and took the golden leaf from him. No matter what, this person must be deeply connected to her body, so she couldn't just throw it away. Since she had inherited this body, she had to accept everything that came with it, good or bad.

  Mrs. Zhao felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between the young lady and Jing Shizi, but it wasn't her place to intervene, so she withdrew.

  "Come, change the medicine!" Rong Jing took out two jade bottles from his bosom and spoke to Yun Qian Yue in a warm voice. Yun Qian Yue sat still, looking at Rong Jing, pursing her lips and saying: "There is a blockage in my brain, you should know that?"

  "Hmm!" Rong Jing nodded.

  "This person who came to see me... I don't know who it is now!" Yun Qian Yue shook the golden leaf in her hand, a small piece of gold that weighed as heavy as a thousand jun. But after all, at this moment she felt that the man standing in front of her, who was about to change her bandages, had no weight, so she thought it was still necessary to make him understand some things.

  "It's better you don't know for now, you'll find out sooner or later," said Rong Jing.

  "Do you know something? Not going to tell me a couple of sentences?" Yun Shang Yue raised an eyebrow. She thought Rong Jing knew something.

  "I'll take care of you, but that doesn't mean I'll take care of your affairs." Rong Jing said as he opened the jade bottle and dripped two drops of a transparent liquid onto his fingertips, applying it to Yun Qian Yue's lips which had been bitten by him.

  Yun Shallow Moon rolled her eyes, and the cool feeling suddenly alleviated some of the scorching pain. She felt that Rong Jing's hands were indeed good stuff, and it was not bad to be taken care of by him in the future. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you sure you want to take care of me?"

  "Hmm!" Rong Jing gently spread the medicine with his fingertips, and the pads of his fingers lingered on Yun Shangyue's lips, causing his expression to warm up by three degrees.

  "I'm really hard to manage." Yun Shallow Moon stared at Rong Jing with an unwavering gaze.

  "It's not like I just met you for the first time." Rong Jing glanced at Yun Qian Yue with a faint smile.

  Yun Shallow Moon's heart skipped a beat at this smile. She asked dazedly, "Then when did you get to know me?" She recalled the conversation that had echoed in her mind earlier, and swallowed back the unspoken words. That should be the memory of this body? If that person was once Rong Jing and the owner of this body, then she... As soon as she thought of this, her face suddenly darkened, and she lowered her head to change the subject: "Enough, if you keep applying it, my mouth will be all medicine."

  "When did we meet, it doesn't matter, you're all the same." Rong Jing's hand left Yun Qianyue's lips, not taking her words to heart. He put down the jade bottle in his hand and reached out to roll up Yun Qianyue's sleeve, revealing her arm wrapped in gauze. With a careful and skilled movement, he unwrapped the gauze, the wound had scabbed over, but the scar was quite large. He furrowed his brow and said: "Even if this scar is removed, I'm afraid it will still leave a mark."

  Yun Shallow Moon didn't speak, still shocked by Rong Jing's words. When did they meet and what does it matter, you're all the same... Such words were different from Rong Feng's, but the meaning was the same, with such a definite tone. Is she really Yun Shallow Moon? Then... what about her memories of Li Yun in her mind? She clearly remembered being Li Yun, that day waking up by the Swan Pond in the Imperial Palace was just after possessing Yun Shallow Moon's body, two people even if they were identical would still be different, how could Rong Feng and Rong Jing be so certain she was her...

  "Raise your arm a bit!" Rong Jing brought the basin of clear water closer, seeing that Yun Shang Yue's arm was hanging down and he couldn't bear to touch it, so he said softly.

  Yun Shallow Moon subconsciously raised her arm, and the expression on her face kept changing.

  "Hey, I told you to lift some, not that high." Rong Jing raised his head helplessly and only then discovered that Yun Shang Yue's expression was off. He put down the action in his hand and asked lightly, "What's wrong?"

  Clouds were shallow and the moon was thinking a bit messy, looking at Rong Jing. As he faced his warm and gentle jade face, his messy thoughts suddenly calmed down a bit, the changing colors on his face retreated, and he immediately put down some of the raised arms, smiled at him, "I'm wondering if you like the me from before or the me now."

  Her long eyelashes blinked twice, and she smiled slyly, "Who said I liked you?"

  Yun Shallow Moon only then remembered that he had never said he liked her, she smiled stiffly on her face and hummed a sound, "Don't like it anyway."

  Rong Jing smiled but didn't speak, lowering his head to continue the actions in his hands. He cleaned Yun Qian Yue's wound with clear water, applied medicine, and wrapped it with gauze. Finally, he pulled down her sleeve and bent down to carry away the basin of clear water on the ground. All his movements were meticulous and gentle.

  Yun Shallow Moon kept looking at Rong Jing, her eyes following his figure, thinking that some people were good-looking no matter what they did. The same action done by others was just a trivial movement, but when done by a certain person, it became an art piece for appreciation.

  Rong Jing finished everything and returned to the bedside, looking at Yun Qian Yue with gentle eyes, "I like it too much, I..."

  "Miss!" Yun Meng hastily ran into the yard, his voice heard before he arrived.

  Yun Qian looked out the window and saw Yun Meng in front and Lu Gonggong behind, both of them rushing over. She furrowed her brow and said to Rong Jing, "Continue speaking, don't mind them."

  She heard Rong Feng say "Liking is still too light, we are relatives......", she wanted to hear what Rong Jing said after "Liking is still too light"......

  Rong Jing stopped talking and looked out of the window, fixing his gaze on Lu Gonggong. His eyes narrowed slightly as he muttered to himself, "Something's probably happened again."

  "There are things you must say first." Yun Qianyue didn't care, she wanted to listen. Liking is too light, what's heavy?

  Rong Jing withdrew his gaze and looked at Yun Qian Yue, suddenly smiling slyly and asking softly, "What do you want to hear?"

  Yun's face turned slightly red as she said irritably, "Are you going to say it or not?"

  Rong Jing didn't respond, turned around and walked towards the door.

  Yun Shallow Moon reached out to grab Rong Jing, but ended up grasping at air. Rong Jing didn't stop in his tracks, and turned back to glance at her with a smile: "I don't have any more sleeves for you to tug on now. It seems I'll have to make two extra sleeves just for you to pull on from now on."

  Yun shallowly retracted her gaze, somewhat annoyed, and hummed a sound, "Don't mention it, you really think I want to hear that!"

  Rong Jing smiled but didn't answer, walked to the door, stretched out his hand and opened the room door.

  "Jing Shizi?" Lü Gonggong looked at Rong Jing in surprise as he came out of Yun Qianyue's room.

  "I've come to change Miss Yun's dressing." Rong Jing looked at Lu Gonggong, putting away the warmth and gentleness he had shown towards Yun Shangyue, and asked with a distant and indifferent smile, "Lu Gonggong rushed here in such a hurry, what's the matter?"

  Lu Gong hastily put away his look of surprise, bowed to Rong Jing and said somewhat breathlessly: "This old slave greets Sheng Shi Zi on behalf of the Emperor. The Emperor has ordered this old slave to come again and invite Shallow Moon Miss. Yesterday night, Qin Miss from the Chancellor's residence caught a chill and contracted a cold, she is now bedridden and unable to get up."

  "Oh? Miss Qin is ill at just the right time!" Rong Jing smiled faintly.

  "Yes, you said it was a coincidence that I came at this time. The old slave personally went to the Prime Minister's mansion and saw that Miss Qin was indeed pale and weak. The Prime Minister said that she had been dizzy all morning after getting up, and the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital were summoned to the Prime Minister's mansion, going in and out all morning, but she couldn't get up at all. Where could they still bleed her? Lü Gonggong sighed while saying: "However, the matter of Ye Gongzhu's ritual cannot be delayed, it must be done before noon. So the Emperor can only order the old slave to find Shallow Moon Miss. Although Shallow Moon Miss has injuries on her body, she is a martial artist after all, and her body is strong and healthy, and she has been recovering for several days, so she should be somewhat more useful than Miss Qin."

  "I didn't expect Miss Qin to be so weak and fragile, in this regard, Miss Qin is indeed inferior to Miss Shallow Moon." Rong Jing uttered a sentence without confirming or denying, turned his head to Yun Shallow Moon and said: "Since that's the case, you can follow Lord Lu into the palace!"

  Yun Pian Yue thought that Qin Yu Cong was indeed too coincidental to be bedridden, anyway she had the intention of going to take a look. Letting out some blood wouldn't be a big deal for her either. She wanted to see how Ye Qian would perform her skills and also use this opportunity to see if there were any hidden tricks here. She got out of bed, took steps to the door, and said to Lu Gong Gong: "Alright, I'll follow you into the palace now!"

  "Then please hurry up, Miss Shallow Moon!" Duke Lu hastily nodded and turned to Rong Jing: "Rong Shizi, the Emperor had sent someone to invite you to the palace earlier, but you weren't there. Who would have thought that you were here changing medicine for Miss Shallow Moon? Are you going to enter the palace with Miss Shallow Moon now?"

  "I still have some unfinished business at the Rong Wang Fu, so I won't enter the palace. This matter mainly depends on whether Ye Gong Zhu's curse is precise and whether Shallow Moon Miss's blood is useful. Even if I went, it wouldn't be of much use." Rong Jing shook his head, paused for a moment, and said to Lu Gong Gong: "Please inform the Emperor that Shallow Moon Miss has lost too much blood and is extremely weak at present. If Ye Gong Zhu uses too much blood, it will harm Shallow Moon Miss's body. If that happens, the murderer won't have killed Shallow Moon Miss in secret, but she would have died from excessive blood loss instead. That would be a joke. Even if we find the murderer, it would still be a joke. The Emperor should understand this."

  "Jing Shizi is right," said the old eunuch, "I will certainly report it to the Emperor." Lü Gonggong hastily bowed and responded.

  Rong Jing stopped talking and took a step forward, then turned back to look at Yun Shang Yue. His gaze fell on her lips and eyebrows, seemingly unintentionally reminding her, "Miss Shang Yue has been bedridden for days, originally without any feminine charm, now even more so without human form, making it unbearable to look at you. Since you've entered the palace, shouldn't you tidy yourself up a bit? Not asking for beauty, just enough to pass the eyes of others?"

  Yun Shallow Moon was about to step out of the door when she heard this and suddenly stopped in her tracks.

  Rong Jing didn't say another word and turned around to leave.

  Yun Shang Yue naturally knew what Rong Jing was referring to, and she felt both ashamed and annoyed, her teeth itching with hatred. In front of Lu Gonggong and Yun Meng, she couldn't help but lose control again. Seeing Lu Gonggong looking at her, she suddenly used her sleeve to cover her face and turned around to walk back into the room, huffing and puffing as she said: "I didn't ask you to look anyway. I'm not going! To avoid being said that I have no human form."

  "Miss Shallow Moon, don't bother collecting anymore, time is running out. How can you not go?" Lü Gonggong said hastily.

  "Lord Lu, you have sullied the sacred eyes, disgraced the heavenly countenance. All of this is due to your lack of respect for authority, and it is punishable by law." Rong Jing said calmly without turning his head, addressing Lord Lu.

  Mr. Lu immediately changed the subject and said helplessly: "Miss Shallow Moon, hurry up! You must go."

  Rong Jing ignored Lu Gonggong once again, her steps still as light and elegant as ever, and she walked out of Shallow Moon Pavilion in an instant.

  Yun Meng kept looking at Rong Jing, always feeling that today's Rong Shizi was different from before, but looking at his slow and gentle walk, he couldn't quite put his finger on what was different. He looked towards the door again, Yun Qian Yue had already stormed into the house with a huff, he withdrew his gaze to look at Lu Gonggong who seemed anxious and eager to persuade Yun Qian Yue: "Gonggong don't worry, Miss Shallow Moon is just angry about what Rong Shizi said, she will do as promised, if she says she'll enter the palace with you then she will."

  "That's good! Otherwise, I, the old slave, would not be able to complete my task!" Lü Gonggong wiped his sweat and glanced at the sky before urging those inside, "Miss Shallow Moon, you must hurry up, there is only half an hour left until noon. Master Ye wants to perform the ritual exactly at noon, we cannot miss the timing."

  "Alright, alright! Stop rushing me! You're like a ghost urging someone to their death. If you're in such a hurry, go ahead and leave first!" Yun Shangyue was still fuming, and she yelled out the window with ill temper.

  Lu Gong immediately fell silent. He said somewhat bitterly, "It's no use for Zajia to leave first, I'll still wait here for Shallow Moon Miss! You... don't rush, take your time, as long as you enter the palace before noon it's fine."

  Lu Gonggong had never been so humble to anyone before, due to his identity as the Grand Steward of the Emperor's side. On this day, all the people in the Imperial City, including the Empress and the Emperor's most favored concubine, Ming Fei, as well as all the civil and military officials, including several princes, were extremely polite to him, speaking with great courtesy. Even the Crown Prince and the other imperial princes and princesses did not dare to speak harshly to him. However, there were two people who had never shown any respect for him: Shallow Moon Miss from Yun Wangfu and Dye Xiao Wangye from De Qin Wangfu. As long as they didn't provoke them, it was fine, but once provoked, these two would show no mercy. After returning to the capital after seven years of training outside, Dye Xiao Wangye had become more restrained, thinking that Shallow Moon Miss had also changed her temper and no longer randomly lost her temper. But it turned out she was still the same as before. He sighed, although he was scolded, he didn't dare to get angry.

  Miss Yun Mengjiao shouldn't have offended Lord Lu, the Grand Butler who serves by the Emperor's side is not an ordinary person, he can speak freely in front of the Emperor. He leaned in close to Lord Lu and whispered: "Lord, please be patient, Miss Shangyue was severely injured, if it wasn't for Prince Jing's words, she might have lost the use of her arm entirely. These days she has been cooped up in her room, feeling unhappy, and...". He paused, then continued in an extremely soft voice: "and besides, Miss Shangyue has come of age, you know that when women start their menstruation, they are always irritable..."

  Lu Gonggong's heart suddenly cleared up, and he said with a hint of surprise: "So that's how it is..." As soon as he finished speaking, he chuckled and his old face broke into a smile. "It just so happens that Miss Shallow Moon has come of age, I was right! Miss Shallow Moon's temperament had improved greatly recently, but now she's like this again... The Emperor doesn't know about it yet! I'll definitely report this joyful event to the Emperor when I return, and he will surely be delighted."

  "The queen must know about it, didn't the queen tell the emperor?" Yun Meng asked in puzzlement.

  "The Emperor hasn't visited the harem for several days since the incident of Jing Shizi and Qianyue Miss being stabbed, and neither the Empress nor the imperial concubines have seen him. Since no one has told the Emperor about this matter, he naturally doesn't know." said Lu Gonggong with a smile.

  "So it was like this!" Yun Meng nodded, seeing that Lu Gonggong was no longer annoyed, he also stopped talking.

  Lu Gonggong also stopped speaking and anxiously looked towards the entrance of Yun Shallow Moon.

  The two people in the courtyard, although their voices were extremely small, were still heard by Yun Shangyue inside the house. She felt a chill and her face didn't look good. Was she going to fight with her aunt again? She walked to the mirror and looked at herself in it. The person in the mirror now had a black face, but was still different from usual, with a pale complexion and red lips that were swollen, although they had been medicated, the wound on the corner of her mouth was still obvious. She cursed under her breath, "He shouldn't be called Rong Jing, he should be called Rong Bastard!"

  After scolding, she remembered his words "liking is too light", and a smile crept onto her lips, but as soon as the smile appeared, her wound suddenly hurt, and with a "tsk" sound, the smile disappeared into thin air. She pressed her finger on the wound, and said somewhat annoyed: "Really belongs to a dog!"

  Although she was scolding, when she thought of the situation earlier, her face had barely recovered a bit and turned red again. The color was like a peach blossom that had been dyed with rouge, shining brightly like misty clouds. She stood in front of the mirror for a moment, but the blush wouldn't fade away. She couldn't help but feel embarrassed - if she went out like this, wouldn't everyone be able to tell that she had fallen in love?

  "Miss Shallow Moon, are you ready?" Lü Gonggong asked hastily while looking at the sky.

  "Not good yet! Wait a bit longer!" Yun Shang Yue left the mirror and walked to the water basin, scooped up some water to wash her face. After washing for a while, the cool water couldn't reduce the temperature on her face. She used a silk cloth to wipe off the water from her face, then walked back to the mirror, picked up the box in front of the dressing table and opened it, puffing powder onto her face.

  Now she can only use her disguise technique...

  "Miss Qianyue, hurry up! If you're late, it'll be too late......" If he could come in and drag someone away, Lu Gonggong would have done so long ago. But this person is Yun Qianyue, especially one who seems to be under Jing Shizi's protection, he doesn't dare to come in.

  "Alright, let's go!" As soon as Lü Gonggong finished speaking, Yun Shangyue came out of the house, glanced at Lü Gonggong and headed outside.

  Lu Gong was overjoyed and hastily followed, at this time he couldn't help but notice that Yun Shang Yue's face had turned as white as a ghost.

  "Miss Shallow Moon, you...you're like this..." Yun Meng stared at Yun Shallow Moon's face clearly, looking at her in disbelief.

  "Lord Lu, do you think I'm disgracing myself like this?" Yun Qianyue stopped in her tracks and asked Lord Lu without looking at Yun Meng.

  Lu Gonggong also saw Yun Shangyue's face at this time, pale and bloodless, with white lips. He was shocked and shook his head repeatedly, saying: "No, no, it's not a shame to the emperor, nothing will happen, the emperor won't blame you... Miss Shangyue has been seriously injured and hasn't fully recovered, that's why her complexion is extremely poor..."

  "That's good, let's go quickly!" Yun Qianyue endured the strong smell of cosmetics, scolding Rong Jing in her heart. Why did he make a mess and shame her? Tomorrow, she would also make his face look like a ghost.

  "Yes, and in a moment it will be noon, we must hurry!" Mr. Lu almost ran with quick steps.

  Yun Shallow Moon looked up at the sky and quickened her pace. She naturally didn't want to delay such things, after all, she wanted to see what kind of curse was in Nanjiang and how to expose the black hand behind it.

  They walked all the way without saying a word until they arrived at the entrance of Yun Wang Fu.

  Clouds saw a black carriage besides the one that Master Lu had arrived in. This carriage was identical to the one that Rong Jing had been in earlier, which had been pierced by countless arrows. It was also made of fragrant wood and had a simple yet elegant design. However, this one was brand new, with shiny black wood. Obviously, someone had destroyed the old one and gotten a new one, truly living up to the saying "the old doesn't go, the new doesn't come". She curled her lips in disdain, thinking that this guy still hadn't left?

  At this time, the car curtain was lifted, and Rong Jing showed his face to look at Yun Qianyue. When he saw her face, the corner of his mouth seemed to twitch violently, but his eyes immediately shifted away, as if he didn't want to look at her again.

  What an awful expression! Yun Shang Yue glared at Rong Jing with a look of disdain.

  "Is that Lord Jing?" Lü Gonggong also saw Rong Jing and hastily said: "You haven't returned to the manor yet?"

  "After all, the affairs of the mansion are trivial matters. If they don't get handled, so be it! I'll still follow along and take a look. After all, this is a big deal, and I can still tell what's important and what's not." said Rong Jingdao.

  Lu Gong was taken aback and hastily said with a smile: "It would be best if the young master of the Jing family also followed us into the palace."

  Rong Jing grunted, not looking at Yun Shang Yue, but said to her: "Hurry up and get on the carriage, if you're late, you'll miss the timing. If I had known that letting you pack would result in such a ghostly appearance, why would I have waited for you for so long? Truly, my eyes are polluted."

  The cloud was shallow and the moon was in her heart, angrily looking at Rong Jing. She finally understood now that this scoundrel had always wanted to enter the palace, but just wanted to see how she would react, so he said he wouldn't enter the palace first. He messed with her and then waited here lightly, while she spent half a day in the room tidying herself up into this ghostly state. She couldn't understand why this person was so heartless!

  Rong Jing seemed oblivious to Yun Qian Yue's extremely ugly and furious face, putting down the curtain and urging: "Hurry up!"

  Yu Shallow Moon stood still, her chest heaving with each breath.

  "Miss Shallow Moon, Master Jing's carriage is more stable. Since Master Jing is also going, you should hurry up and get on Master Jing's horse carriage!" Lu Gonggong urged Yun Shangyue, threw down a sentence, and hastily got on his own carriage. For some reason, as long as Master Jing was there, there was a kind of power that made one feel at ease. He thought to himself, no wonder the Emperor always had a profound expression whenever he mentioned Master Jing.

  The cloud is shallow and the moon is faint as if unheard, following Mr. Lu's footsteps, thinking that she just doesn't want to sit in the same car with that bastard.

  "Lu Gonggong is a Gonggong!" Rong Jing suddenly spoke up, emphasizing the two words "Gonggong".

  Yun Qian's footsteps paused, she suddenly turned her head and walked back, roughly opening the carriage curtain, saw Xuan Ge's hand suspended in mid-air, stifling a laugh, not daring to look at her. She glared at Xuan Ge, then jumped onto the carriage.

  Rong Jing smiled slightly and glanced at Yun Shangyue before instructing Xian Ge, "Hurry the carriage!"

  "Yes, Crown Prince!" Xuan Ge thought that even in broad daylight, there could be ghosts, and the source of it all was the powder used by women. With a flick of his whip, the horse carriage left the Chancellor's mansion, swiftly and smoothly.

  Lu Gonggong's carriage followed closely behind, whipping up the horses, and the two carriages galloped straight towards the imperial palace.

  In the car, Yun Shang Yue could no longer hold back and used her feet to fiercely kick Rong Jing twice. Rong Jing didn't dodge or evade, letting her kick him, and when she stopped, his voice was gentle, "Feel better now?"

  "I haven't finished, I want to beat you up some more." Yun Qianyue said with her mouth, but she didn't make any move. She was clear about her own strength, and the two kicks just now were a bit too forceful. He didn't even frown, which made her regret using too much force at this moment. She secretly wondered, in the past when she had also kicked him with all her might, she only hated that she hadn't kicked him harder. Now, after kicking him, she actually felt regret, indeed getting more and more mellow with age. However, her anger was also dissipated by half.

  "You're really willing to let go!" Rong Jing stared at Yun Shangyue's face, taking in the hint of regret that had just flashed across it, and even his gaze was tinged with amusement.

  "What's there to be reluctant about? You're not... " Yun Qian Yue hummed, wanting to say something, but suddenly felt that she couldn't say the words "you're not my someone" again. She changed her tone and said irritably: "Don't you know how to dodge?"

  "Kicking me twice is better than you getting anxious and kicking yourself twice!" Yong Jing laughed, shaking his head.

  Yun Shallow Moon looked at Rong Jing and suddenly "pfft" laughed, asking: "Am I good-looking?"

  Rong Jing stretched out his hand and stroked his forehead, "You'd better stop smiling, you can still look at it if you don't smile. If you smile, you'll look even more like a ghost!"

  Yun Qian's face turned red with anger, and she immediately reached out to slap away Rong Jing's hand that was stroking her forehead. "Tell me, don't I look good?" she shouted.

  "Ah, with such a scowl on your face, I can barely bring myself to look at you. But even then, I won't be able to see you as a human being." Rong Jing said.

  Yun Qian's face turned pale as she heard the words, and she immediately pounced on him, her face close to Rong Jing. With a fierce tone, she said: "I'll give you one more chance. If you dare say anything that displeases me again, I'll smear everything on my face onto yours."

  Rong Jing stretched out his hand to hold the approaching Yun Shangyue, looking at her small face that was as white as a sheet, except for the two eyes that were staring at him fiercely, which indeed had some intimidating power, enough to scare children into tears. He chuckled softly and said: "I didn't expect that women's powder could have such benefits, it can be used to cover up shame!"

  Yun Shallow Moon's face turned red, just about to get angry, Rong Jing suddenly leaned in close to her face, she was startled and backed away, at the same time Rong Jing also retreated, muttering to himself, seemingly saying to Yun Shallow Moon yet seemingly saying to himself, "This time it's really hard to swallow!"

  Yun Shallow Moon's mouth twitched at the words, and a sharp pain accompanied her movements. She said hatefully: "From now on, I'll do this every day, let you have your fill!"

  "They say that a woman's beauty is for the one she loves. If you were to dress up like this just for me every day from now on, I'd probably wake up smiling from my dreams every night." Jing Rong said with a smile.

  "You wait, even if you don't laugh out loud in your dreams, I'll dress like this and run to your bedside every night to scare you awake." Yun Shangyue shot back fiercely.

  "Every night I run to your bedside...". Rong Jing's eyes suddenly shattered and a ray of light burst out, looking at Yun Qian Yue, smiling with profound meaning: "Welcome!"

  Yun Shallow Moon didn't realize it at first, but when she heard his strange voice, she knew she had been taken away by him. Her face turned red, and although the powder was too thick, she couldn't see anything coming. She glanced at the car wall and found a compact mirror, in which her face was as white as a ghost. Even though her face was burning like fire, there was no expression on her face. She thought to herself that this powder was indeed a good thing, although it smelled too pungent. It could make her skin thicker, as thick as the city wall. She sighed and didn't bother to argue with Rong Jing anymore, pushing him away and wanting to retreat back into herself.

  Rong Jing hugged Yun Shang Yue tightly and frowned at her, saying: "Isn't there a kind of fragrance-free cosmetics?"

  Yun Shallow Moon hummed, "How would I know? This broken thing is uncomfortable to death when applied to the face."

  "It's unbearable, but there's no way around it, so just bear with it." Rong Jing closed his eyes, as if also forcing himself to endure something, and said: "I'll bear with it too!" The expression on his face seemed even more unbearable than Yun Shangyue's, who had a thick layer of powder on her face.

  Yun Shallow Moon opened her big eyes to look at Rong Jing, and after a moment, her anger suddenly dissipated, feeling satisfied. It turned out that someone was more miserable than her! She saw Rong Jing not letting go, nor forcing herself out of his arms, and softened her body, allowing him to hold her. As long as it made this guy uncomfortable, she was willing to do something, such as getting close, so he could smell the powder scent more intensely and clearly.

  "You really are..." Rong Jing seemed to have seen through Yun Qian Yue's thoughts and couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.

  Yun Qian Yue hummed and thought that having a cushion softer than the soft pad and backrest to lean against would be nice.

  The two men said nothing more, the carriage rattled on through the streets, the sound of its wheels grinding against the road surface was enough to imagine how fast it was going.

  Yun Qian Yue thought that the coachman's skills were really good, and the speed of the horse-drawn carriage was almost as fast as riding a horse. She felt a bit tired and yawned, also closing her eyes. It seemed like only a short while later when the carriage came to a stop.

  "The Crown Prince has arrived!" The voice of Xuan Ge came from outside.

  Yun Shallow Moon opened her eyes and looked at Rong Jing, who tidied up her slightly disheveled hair and said in a low voice, "Today, you don't need to say anything, just listen to me, okay?"

  Yun Shallow Moon blinked her eyes, Rong Jing looked at him, with warm and gentle gaze.

  Yun Qian Yue suddenly found something in that gentle gaze, something she had been searching for in her past life but could never reach. She smiled suddenly, "Good!"

  The words fell, Rong Jing loosened his hands, Yun Shang Yue stepped out of his arms and lifted the curtain to look outside.

  It was not the entrance of the imperial palace, but outside the Meridian Gate. The old emperor, who had been sitting on the executioner's platform as a spectator for the beheading of prisoners in the past, was now sitting there wearing a dragon robe, with dozens of people standing or sitting behind him. By the old emperor's side were familiar figures such as Ye Tianqing, Ye Qingran and Ye Tiangao. When she shifted her gaze to the execution platform in front, she saw that over a hundred corpses dressed in black were arranged in a circle on it - they were the people who had assassinated her and Rong Jing that day, and Ye Qian was standing at the center of the platform.
