Chapter Nineteenth: A Room of Spring Light

  Rong Jing looked at Yun Qian Yue softly falling to the ground, but he didn't go to catch her. Instead, he sat in the chair motionless. Under the dim light in the room, his jade-like face was shrouded in a layer of misty color, and his emotions couldn't be seen.

  "After a long time, Rong Jing finally spoke up, 'Qing Shuang, come in and put the table away!'"

  "Yes, Young Master!" Qing Shang walked over from a distance, pushed open the door, and was about to step inside when she saw someone lying on the ground. She paused, and upon recognizing it was Yun Shang Yue, she was taken aback. She looked up at Rong Jing, "Young Master, Miss Shang Yue...".

  "Just keep packing things away!" Rong Jing instructed.

  "Yes!" Qing Shuang walked past Yun Qian Yue and into the house, tidying up the leftover dishes on the table. She carried the things out with her head bowed, stopping for a moment at the door to glance at Rong Jing before walking out.

  The door closed and the house fell silent once again.

  Rong Jing remained seated in the chair, staring at Yun Qian Yue who didn't move an inch.

  After a long time, he spoke again, and softly called out towards the outside: "Yao Lao!"

  "Crown Prince?" Yao Lao arrived at the door.

  "How much sleepy powder did you put in the snowflake?" asked Rong Jing.

  "According to the young master's instructions, I added a packet." Lao Yao replied. Rong Jing was about to nod when he heard him continue: "But two days ago, Qingquan played a trick and mixed some Ziye San into the Shuisui San..."

  Rong Jing's body suddenly stood up from his seat and asked: "How much of the Zi Ye San was added?"

  "One half......" The old man's body trembled slightly as he spoke in a somewhat weak tone.

  "Qīng Yuán......" Róng Jǐng's face suddenly fell.

  "Your Highness, I...I had no idea you were going to give that Somnium powder to Miss Shallow Moon...I thought Your Highness was already recovered and didn't need these two medicines anymore, so...if I had known, I would rather die than let go of the Subnocturnal powder..." Qingquan's voice sounded like she was about to cry, trembling with fear as it came from outside.

  The sleepy powder can only make people sleep for one day and night, but the midnight powder is different. The midnight powder can make people sleep for three days and nights, even if they have martial arts skills. If they don't have martial arts skills, they will sleep for seven or eight days. These two medicines were both researched by Medicine Old to help Rong Jing sleep well because he was poisoned by cold toxin and couldn't sleep well every day. With the sleepy powder, he could sleep half a night every day. At first, the sleepy powder worked, but later it didn't work, so the midnight powder was developed. For all these years, he relied on the warm jade bed, the sleepy powder, and the midnight powder to help him sleep.

  "Never mind! You all go down! Let her sleep for two more days, it's not a bad thing!" Rong Jing suddenly smiled and said to the outside.

  The sound of Qingquan's crying came suddenly.

  "Your Highness, why did you give Miss Shallow Moon the Sleeping Powder?" Yao Lao asked in a low and cautious tone.

  The scenery is silent.

  Yao Lao waited for half a moment, but didn't hear Rong Jing's response. He knew that the young master wouldn't say anything, and even if he asked, he wouldn't get an answer. He reached out to pat Qing Quan, who was stretching his neck curiously waiting for an answer, on the back. Qing Quan turned his head to look at him, and Yao Lao gave him a signal with his eyes. Qing Quan nodded, and the two of them left the doorway.

  "Walked far, Qingquan lowered his voice and asked: "Yao Lao, do you think the young master gave Shallow Moon Miss the sleepy powder? Now Shallow Moon Miss is obviously better to our young master, why is that? If Shallow Moon Miss wakes up, she will probably be furious."

  "I'm also puzzled!" Yao Lao was also perplexed.

  Qingyuan couldn't help but satisfy his curiosity, seeing Qingshuang walk out of the kitchen with a basket of food, looking like she was going to deliver it to Xiangge. He hastily ran to her side and blocked her way, asking in a low voice: "Sister, do you know why the prince wants to give Shallow Moon Miss the sleeping powder?"

  "I don't know!" Qing Shang shook her head.

  "I really don't know?" Qingquan didn't believe it. He thought that among the few people following the young master, the one who could guess the young master's thoughts best was not Xuan Ge, who had been following the young master for a long time, but his sister, who was as meticulous as a hair. His sister had just come out of the young master's room with a worried look on her face, she must know something.

  "Do you know what's going on? You mixed the sleepy powder into the midnight powder, ruining the young master's plans. The young master doesn't blame you, but you don't even think about apologizing, and instead come out to ask questions. Tonight, no sleep allowed, go practice martial arts!" Qing Shan glared at Qing Quan.

  Qingquan immediately wilted and said in a low voice: "How would I know that the young master would give Shallow Moon Miss the sleepy powder..."

  Qing Shang hummed and shouted in a low voice: "Still don't hurry up to practice your skills!"

  Qingquan nodded and walked away with his head hung low, looking like he had done something wrong.

  The old man leaned in close to Qing Shang and asked in a low voice, "Qing Shang, do you really know? Tell me, I'm getting more and more confused about the young master's thoughts. If the young master wanted to do something to Miss Shallow Moon, he wouldn't need to use medicine to knock her out..."

  Qing Shuang glanced at Yao Lao, then looked at the tightly closed door again. Through the window light, she saw Rong Jing still sitting in front of the desk, motionless. She withdrew her gaze, sighed, and said softly: "Tomorrow, the Seventh Prince returns to the capital!"

  Yao Lao was shocked and immediately asked in confusion: "What does the Seventh Prince's return to the capital have to do with Shallow Moon Miss using the Sleeping Powder?"

  Qing Shang sighed and lowered his voice: "Yao Lao, have you forgotten, the Seventh Prince and Miss Qianyue..."

  The old doctor's face changed color.

  "Tomorrow, Shallow Moon Miss will go to Yunwu Mountain, which is the must-pass route for the Seventh Prince's return to Beijing. If they happen to meet... " Qingxiang's face showed a worried expression, and she said in a low voice: "The young master is probably afraid, after all, he missed many opportunities due to his serious illness over the past decade... He even gave up once because of his short lifespan... Now..."

  "This is indeed a difficult matter!" The old man's face also showed concern, and he asked in a low voice, "Didn't the Emperor want to recall the Seventh Prince earlier? Didn't the Seventh Prince refuse to return to the capital? Why did he suddenly come back now, at this time?"

  "Who knows! Maybe it's because the news of Shallow Moon's injury has spread to Beijiang, so the Seventh Prince didn't dare return to the capital. Or perhaps the Emperor issued another decree, and the Seventh Prince couldn't repeatedly defy the imperial will, so he had no choice but to return. After all, the Seventh Prince has been away from the capital for five years, and in Beijiang, he has repeatedly achieved military merit, now Beijiang is almost entirely under his control. Besides, in a few days it will be the Qixi Festival, and after the Qixi Festival is the Emperor's 55th birthday, so it wouldn't be strange for the Seventh Prince to return to the capital to congratulate the Emperor on his birthday." Qing Shang said.

  Yao Lao nodded after listening and sighed: "Without the emperor's permission, the seventh prince will not return to Beijing."

  "Yes!" Qing Shang nodded.

  "The prince is likely to suffer, this person has not yet entered the capital, and the prince has already used the sleepy powder on Miss Shallow Moon. If this person enters the capital, won't the prince have to use cooked rice for Miss Shallow Moon?" Lao Yao sighed again.

  Qing Shuang thought that if it were possible to cook raw rice into cooked rice, the Crown Prince would have done so when he was in the hot spring pool!

  "Is the Seventh Prince really a formidable figure? He's actually making our Young Master so apprehensive?" Medicine Old Man was somewhat incredulous. He had spent his life studying herbal medicine, never marrying or having children, living alone, and after being invited to Rong Wang Fu following Young Master Rong's serious illness, he was won over by Young Master Rong's valiant struggle against the disease demons. Over the years, he had always followed closely by his side, naturally familiar with Young Master Rong's temperament. Looking around the world, who could make him take notice? Unexpectedly, a Seventh Prince had appeared, clearly throwing Young Master into a state of great confusion. He was very curious.

  "The Seventh Prince... He's someone who can't be compared to the Crown Prince." Qing Shang thought for a moment before asking in a low voice.

  "What can't be compared? Is he better than Shizi?" asked Yao Lao.

  "It's not that he is better than Shizi." Qing Shan shook his head.

  "That's no good without a successor? What is a successor afraid of?" Yao Lao didn't understand.

  "He's not without a good son either!" Qing Shang shook his head again.

  "Green blouse girl, stop pretending!" Yao Lao urged, becoming even more curious.

  "He... seems to hold a very important position in Miss Shallow Moon's heart. A position that the Crown Prince cannot compare with." Qing Shang seemed to be searching for words, and after a pause, she added: "Miss Shallow Moon has always treated the Seventh Prince differently from others."

  "What's so different about it?" The medicine old man became even more curious.

  "I also can't explain it clearly, you'll understand when you meet the Seventh Prince. In short, it's different." Qing Shang shook his head, "However, Miss Shallow Moon has lost her memory, so whether she recognizes the Seventh Prince or not is also uncertain."

  "You're right, Miss Shallow Moon isn't suffering from amnesia, is she? I reckon she won't remember the Seventh Prince either! Now that I think about it, Miss Shallow Moon seems quite tense around the Young Master. What's there for the Young Master to be afraid of?" Medicine Old Man thought he wasn't using his brain enough and really couldn't understand the Young Master's thoughts.

  "If you had ever seen the Seventh Prince and Miss Shallow Moon interact, you would understand what the Crown Prince is afraid of!" Qing Shang looked towards Rong Jing's room again, seeing that Rong Jing was still sitting at the desk, she stopped talking and whispered: "Yao Lao, it's useless to worry more by talking, you should go rest now, I'll go deliver food to Xuan Ge!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Qing Shuang hurriedly walked towards the dark room. Yao Lao shook his head and walked towards his medicine garden with his hands behind his back.

  The courtyard fell silent.

  In the room, Rong Jing watched as the two figures left, then looked down at his injured arm and smiled bitterly. He got up and walked towards the door where Yun Qian Yue was lying.

  Are you afraid?

  When will he be afraid?

  Aren't you afraid?

  But he actually gave her a sleeping powder, still not wanting her to see him...

  Night Sky Leisurely...

  A person who can make him go crazy in an instant...

  Finally back!

  As he walked to the door, Rong Jing bent down and gently picked up Yun Qian Yue. Her body was soft and light as a cotton ball, but whenever he held her in his arms, he felt that the full weight of her was like having a colorful and vibrant world filled with scenery in his embrace, a weight so light yet so heavy.

  He let out a soft sigh, lowered his head and gently kissed her lips, reluctant to leave. From the day he was born until now, he had been bedridden for ten years, his parents had passed away early, and he had shouldered the responsibility of Rong Wang Fu too early. The things he could grasp in his hands were always scarce, some slipped through his fingers, while others he simply didn't want to grasp. The only exception was the person in his arms, even if he couldn't grasp her, he still wanted to try.

  Even if she wakes up in great anger, even if she will hate him, even if one day the sky collapses and the earth splits, he would pay with his life a weight that cannot be borne... it's all worth it!

  His lips slowly left hers, Rong Jing's thin lips pursed tightly, his eyes firmly holding Yun Qian Yue as he turned and walked back to the bed.

  This night, the room was filled with the fragrance of wine like a snowflake, and Yun Shang slept soundly, unaware of anything.

  Rong Jing lay beside Yun Shang Yue, also having a good night's sleep.

  On the second day, the sky was bright and clear, Qing Shang stood at the door and softly called out, "Young Master!"

  Rong Jing closed his eyes and slowly opened them again. The first thing he did was to look at the person beside him, seeing that Yun Qian Yue was still fast asleep. He spoke up to ask, "What's going on?"

  "The steward just passed on a message from the Emperor, stating that the Seventh Prince will return to the capital today. The Crown Prince is attending to Qin Miss at the Prime Minister's residence and cannot receive him. The Fourth Prince is handling the aftermath of yesterday's incident outside the Meridian Gate. Xiao Wangye is attending to Ye Princess at the Deqin King's residence, so for now, we can only ask the Young Master to welcome the Seventh Prince." Qing Shang reported in a soft voice.

  "Oh?" Jung's eyes narrowed slightly.

  "The Emperor said that the Seventh Prince is now a hundred miles away, so there's no need for the Crown Prince to rush. By nightfall, the Seventh Prince will probably enter the city, and the Crown Prince doesn't have to go out of the city to welcome him, just welcoming him outside the city is enough." Qing Shang added: "The Emperor has already sent someone to repair the Seventh Prince's mansion, informing the Crown Prince that after welcoming the Seventh Prince, it would be late at night, so he graciously allowed the Seventh Prince not to rush into the palace to pay his respects, but first return to his mansion to rest."

  "Qī Huángzǐ Fǔ?" Róng Jǐng's voice was devoid of emotion.

  "It's letting the Seventh Prince return to his residence first!" Qing Shang's voice suddenly became much softer, "The Seventh Prince's residence is next door to the Yun King's residence."

  Rong Jing no longer made a sound.

  "The Crown Prince, shall I have the servant inform the visitor from the palace that you are injured and cannot receive the Seventh Imperial Son?" Qing Shang waited for half a moment without hearing Rong Jing speak, and asked cautiously.

  "No need! Go tell His Majesty, I will meet the Seventh Prince on time!" Rong Jing's voice was calm.

  "Yes!" Qing Shang responded, hesitating for a moment before continuing: "Just now, the Cloud King's estate's Old Master Wang sent his chief steward to deliver a message to the Young Master, saying that he knows Miss Shallow Moon stayed overnight at the Rong King's estate yesterday. He wants the Young Master to remind Miss Shallow Moon not to forget that she has important matters to attend to today."

  "Hmm!" Rong Jing took a glance at Yun Qianyue who was fast asleep, and couldn't hear any emotions either.

  "What instructions does the Crown Prince have?" Qing Shang asked again.

  "Has Xuan Ge come out of the dark room?" asked Rong Jing.

  "It's already out!" Qing Shang said.

  "Have him go a hundred miles to meet the Seventh Prince, and enter the city with the Seventh Prince. Tell the Seventh Prince that I am waiting for him outside the city." Kong Jing instructed.

  "Yes!" Qing Shang nodded.

  "It's all right now, you can go down!" Rong Jing closed his eyes again.

  She quietly retreated, thinking to herself that a hundred miles away was Yunwu Mountain. The Seventh Prince was probably waiting for Shallow Moon Miss there now, but Shallow Moon Miss had been poisoned by the Midnight Scatterer and was unconscious. Moreover, the Young Master had sent Xuan Ge to welcome the Seventh Prince, so it would seem that the Seventh Prince wouldn't be able to wait for Shallow Moon Miss and could only return to the capital early after seeing Xuan Ge. She let out a quiet sigh, feeling sorry for the Young Master.

  Inside the room, Rong Jing opened her eyes and turned to look at Yun Qian Yue. The wound on her lips had healed, and a good night's sleep had made her face radiant and translucent. After taking the midnight dispersal medicine, she slept extremely soundly, no longer tossing or kicking, nor did she mess with the bedding. She was incredibly well-behaved. He smiled slightly, then suddenly flipped over and got on top of her, his body covering hers. He lowered his head and covered her lips with his own.

  Her slender body was soft and boneless, although she had slept for a night, her lips still had the faint scent of wine like a snowflake, which made his heart flutter, and he reached out to untie her sash.

  His hands slid up her smooth skin, lingering on her slender waist, and finally, with a deft hook of his fingers, her belly button opened, two mounds of snow bursting out. His fingertips trembled slightly as he caressed the snowy peaks, and after a moment, he released her lips, lowering his head to press his mouth against her collarbone...

  Skin as white as condensed milk, in an instant, red plum blossoms burst forth everywhere, dazzling and captivating...

  The warm sunlight shines through the curtains into the room, filling it with a spring glow.

  After a long while, Rong Jing suddenly flipped over and got under the covers, wrapping Yun Shang Yue in the blanket. He whispered to himself with a hint of regret and sighs, "I really wanted to continue... but unfortunately can't..."

  After a long while, Rong Jing pushed open the bed curtains and got out of bed, put on his clothes properly and walked out of the room.

  Outside, it's already daylight with the sun shining brightly.

  He stood at the door, slightly tilting his face to look up at the sky, which was cloudless and had a gentle breeze. The golden sunlight shone on his face and body, filling him with warmth, and he withdrew his gaze, suddenly breaking into a smile, "Indeed, I've been bewitched!"

  "Crown Prince? You... what are you laughing at?" Qingquan had practiced all night and was walking back, feeling tired, when he saw Rongjing standing at the door, laughing to himself. His sleepiness vanished instantly, his eyes widened in surprise as he looked at him with suspicion.

  "What about Yao Lao?" Rong Jing asked with a smile.

  "Is Medicine Old in the medicine garden? Are you looking for him, Young Master? I'll go call him right away?" Qingquan was enchanted by Rongjing's smile, thinking that he had never seen the Young Master smile like this before.

  "Hmm! Bring him here!" Rong Jing nodded.

  Qingquan responded with a sound and hurriedly ran towards the medicine garden.

  Before long, Yao Lao ran over from the Medicine Garden and saw Rong Jing standing at the entrance with a smile on his face, seemingly extremely pleased. He looked at Rong Jing in confusion, "Young Master, what brings you to find me?"

  All seven princes are going to the capital, and the crown prince is still so happy? Is it because he's not worried about having an affair with Miss Shallow Moon? It's no wonder he thinks that way, as Rong Jing is completely different from yesterday. Yesterday, his thoughts were uncertain, and his whole person was somewhat gloomy, while today he is warm and gentle like jade, and warm like the sun. The big change in one night makes him think that way.

  "Give me one of your Revival Pills!" said Rong Jingdao.

  "Ah?" Medicine Old startled, "Young Master, you wouldn't be planning on giving Miss Shallow Moon the Soul-Reviving Pellet, would you?"

  "Hmm!" Rong Jing nodded.

  "As soon as she takes the medicine, she will wake up immediately." Yao Lao emphasized.

  "Wake up and wake up!" Rong Jing smiled slightly.

  "You... You really... have cooked unripe rice into ripe rice?" So you're not afraid anymore? Yao Lao gazed at Rong Jing with a strange expression.

  Rong Jing stretched out his hand to wipe his forehead, shaking his head as if it was difficult for him to answer, "No!" "Then you still..." Yao Lao felt disappointed. He thought that such a great opportunity had been missed by the Crown Prince, what a pity! Shallow Moon Miss obviously had feelings for the Crown Prince too, otherwise she wouldn't have been so anxious about his injury. When the Seventh Prince returns to the capital, if he wants to do it again, according to Qing Shang's words, it will be hard to reheat the rice!

  "No need to say more! Give me the medicine!" Rong Jing stretched out his hand.

  "The crown prince, think carefully once more." Yao Lao stood still, making a final struggle.

  Rong Jing smiled lightly, "I've thought it through! Some things, some people, can't be controlled with just this. Give me the medicine."

  The old man seemed to understand and yet not understand, stretched out his hand into his bosom, pulled out a bottle and handed it over to Rong Jing.

  Rong Jing took it and turned back into the room.

  The old doctor sighed and turned around, walking out of the yard towards the medicine garden.

  Back in the room, Rong Jing walked to the window and opened the bottle stopper, pouring out a pill and placing it at Yun Shangyue's lips. "Come on, eat it!" he said softly.

  The clouds are shallow and the moon is still.

  "Since you won't eat it yourself, I'll feed it to you!" Rong Jing withdrew his hand, put the medicine in his own mouth, leaned forward, lowered his head, and covered Yun Shangyue's lips.

  The medicine spread between the lips of two people, extremely bitter, but Rong Jing looked like he didn't know it was bitter at all, and his eyebrows didn't even wrinkle.

  Yun's eyebrows furrowed, and she unconsciously dodged Rong Jing's kiss.

  No matter how she dodged, Rong Jing's lips didn't leave hers, and in the end, the pill was finally swallowed by Yun Shang Yue. Her small face had scrunched up like a bitter melon, twisted into a knot.

  Rong Jing no longer kissed her, but instead pressed his lips against hers, gazing at Yun Shang Yue's pitifully small face, and chuckled softly. The sound of his laughter floated in the room, extremely clear and pleasant.

  Half a moment passed, and Yun Shang Yue woke up slowly, rubbing her eyes, furrowing her brow into a knot, "So bitter..."

  Rong Jing retreated from her body, sat at the head of the bed and smiled at her, but didn't make a sound.

  "Ugh, what did you feed me, Rong Jing?" Yun Shangyue struggled to open her eyes, and through the haze, she saw Rong Jing sitting at the head of the bed. She retched painfully, but nothing came out, and frowned in discomfort as she asked.

  Rong Jing still didn't make a sound.

  "Are you dumb?" Yun Qiu Yue stretched out her hand and stroked her forehead, feeling a sense of being at a loss for what to do tonight.

  Rong Jing seemed as if he hadn't heard, continuing to look at her.

  Yun Shallow Moon no longer spoke, memories swirling in her mind, suddenly freezing on the moment before she fainted. She abruptly opened her eyes wide, completely waking up, and sat up with a thud, glaring at Rong Jing furiously, "What did you put in my drink?"

  Rong Jing remained silent.

  "Speak! What did you put in my wine? How many days has it been?" Yun Qianyue pounced on Rong Jing, pinching his neck, and didn't notice that her belt had come undone, exposing her spring scenery, and angrily asked: "What is your purpose?"

  "How can you say that?" Rong Jing suddenly held his breath and turned away.

  Yun Qian's hand relaxed a little, staring at Rong Jing with a fierce gaze, warning: "You'd better give me a reason! Otherwise, I won't forgive you today."

  "Cough cough, you..." Rong Jing's face turned slightly red, her voice husky.

  "What's wrong with you? Speak quickly!" Yun Shang Yue's heart was filled with anger. How could she not have guarded against him?

  "You... you put your clothes on first, and I'll tell you slowly." Rong Jing said softly, without looking at Yun Shangyue.

  Yun Shallow Moon was stunned, lowered her head, and only then did she discover that her clothes were all untied. Her face changed, and she immediately let go of Rong Jing's hand, stretched out to pull the quilt over herself, and looked at Rong Jing with a pale face, trembling with anger: "What have you done to me?"

  Her eyesight hasn't deteriorated to the point where she can't see the spots resembling hickeys on her body...

  Rong Jing looked at Yun Qian's pale face and sighed helplessly, "I didn't expect you to be like this!"

  "How dare you say I didn't do anything to you? Then... what about the hickeys on my body?" Yun Shangyue was furious, looking at Rong Jing who sat calmly on the bed with a composed expression, while she herself looked disheveled, her face red and white with rage. She cursed: "You're shameless, how dare you do that to me..."

  "Shh, I really didn't do anything to you!" Rong Jing covered Yun Qianyue's mouth with his hand, his eyebrows and eyes soft, with a hint of unnaturalness in his low voice: "It was just a kiss, a hug, hmm, and touching you..."

  Is this not taking advantage of her? Yun Shangyue was both ashamed and angry, she waved her hand to brush away Rong Jing's hand, pointed at him, and after a long while, she found her voice again, angrily saying: "Are you Rong Jing? 'A stranger on the road is like jade, an young master without equal in the world', are these words describing you? You're also the number one prodigy of Tian Sheng, aren't you? Where's your noble and lofty character? Where's your modest and gentle nature? And yet you dare to do such a shameless thing to me?"

  "Huh? You're saying I'm that good?" Rong Jing smiled and raised an eyebrow.

  The clouds were shallow and the moon was suddenly eclipsed.

  Rong Jing leaned in close, reached out from under the covers to hold her, and said softly: "Although I wanted to do something to you, I really didn't do anything to you. If I had wanted to do something to you, when I was soaking in the water yesterday, you came looking for me, and I would have done something to you then, but I didn't."

  "That... that on my body... you..." Yun Shangyue thought about it and realized that her body didn't have any unusual soreness or pain, so he probably hadn't done anything to her. However, there were hickeys on her body, which meant that he must have taken advantage of her while she was unconscious and behaved ungentlemanly.

  "Lying beside me, I'm not Liu Xiahui either. Naturally, I'll be nice to you... actually, I still want to now..." Rong Jing's lips drew close to Yun Shangyue's, his voice low and husky.

  Yun Shallow Moon's body trembled, her heart skipped two beats. Her originally pale face turned red from hearing such words, she stretched out her hand to open the door, feeling both angry and annoyed, yet also ashamed and indignant. "You get away, first say clearly! Say why you drugged me, if not clear, don't think of touching me again!"

  She heard him say yesterday, raised her eyes to look at the sky, now the sun is shining brightly, that is to say, she didn't delay her trip to Yunwu Mountain to pay respects to her mother. She put her mind at ease.

  Rong Jing let go of her hand and released Yun Qianyue, smiling as she said: "That wine..."

  "Listen, be honest with me, don't deceive me, tell the truth!" Yun Shangyue stared at Rong Jing.

  "Alright, let's be honest!" Rong Jing smiled lightly and said in a warm voice: "I told you yesterday that the wine was mistakenly taken by Medicine Old Man and hastily placed on the table. I told you it was strong, but you didn't listen and insisted on drinking it. Actually, the wine had been mixed with sleep-inducing powder by Medicine Old Man. He's old and often has trouble sleeping, so every night he drinks a pot of wine with sleep-inducing powder to ensure a good night's sleep. You drank his wine and caused him to lose sleep all night."

  "Is that so?" Yun Shangyue raised an eyebrow, clearly disbelieving.

  "That's right! Otherwise, I'll get Lao Yao to come over and ask you?" Rong Jing nodded, his expression innocent. "I reminded you the wine is strong. You wanted to drink it yourself."

  "But why didn't you remind me that there was sleeping powder in the wine?" Yun Shangyue glared.

  "Yao Lao spent his whole life unmarried, every night he couldn't sleep well, using wine to dispel his boredom, this was his heart disease. How could I let you expose his secrets? So, just say the wine is strong, and indirectly remind you. Who made you greedy for cups, unable to withstand temptation, and still so foolish! So, people who sleep are unaware of things." Rong Jing told lies with a straight face, and with his innocent expression, it was hard not to believe him.

  Yun Shallow Moon carefully looked at Rong Jing, couldn't see anything wrong with him, his words were also a reasonable explanation. The anger retreated a bit, still somewhat annoyed, said: "Then why is my mouth so bitter?"

  "It was because Qingquan was mischievous and wanted to play a joke on Yao Lao, so he added Ziyeshan to the sleeping powder that Yao Lao had prepared. Ziyeshan is a medicine that can make people sleep for seven or eight days. This morning, I saw you were still not awake, afraid that you would miss important things, and asked Yao Lao about the Lingdan, which broke your medicinal effect. You just woke up. The Lingdan belongs to bitter medicine, so naturally your mouth is bitter." Rong Jing explained slowly, adding at the end, "The food I fed you, now my mouth is also bitter."

  "Who told you to feed me?" Yun Qianyue stretched out her hand to touch her lips, thinking that she had eaten the medicine he fed her, and a strange energy was flowing through her body. She scolded with a red face.

  "You sleep so much that you can't eat your medicine, and if you don't eat your medicine, you won't wake up. If you don't wake up, aren't you going to be late for things?" Rong Jing raised an eyebrow.

  Yun Qian Yue was completely speechless, she indeed slept soundly and didn't know what happened, she could only let him say whatever he wanted. She didn't believe that he couldn't remind her not to drink that wine, it must have been intentional. Letting her sleep deeply and then staying with him, taking advantage of the opportunity to do as he pleased with her. She couldn't just run out and find Medicine Old Pan to ask questions, as long as she wasn't late for the ceremony to pay respects to her mother, that was all that mattered. With a fierce glare at Rong Jing, "You're still somewhat sensible! Knowing to let me wake up quickly. Otherwise, if I'm late for my trip to Yunwu Mountain, you'll be in trouble!"

  "How could it be? Grandfather Yun had someone remind me early on." Rong Jing smiled and said.

  Yun Shallow Moon's face changed, "Did my grandfather know I stayed here yesterday?"

  Rong Jing nodded.

  Her small face, which had been pale and red in the moonlight, changed expression, her hands clutching the quilt tightened, looking at Rong Jing with a smile. She was not angry, nor was she resentful, nor was she hateful, but after a while, she said weakly: "Since you didn't do anything to me, I don't want to bother with you. Hurry up and get out, I need to get dressed."

  Rong Jing sat still, slightly raised an eyebrow and asked in a soft voice, "Will you wear that dress?"

  Yun Qian Yue's last bit of strength was gone. She couldn't wear it! It was too complicated to death! She hated the jade bangle, where did she get such a thing with three layers inside and out, and silk ribbons and ring buckles? It was even more complicated than the one her brother Yun Wu Han gave her.

  "After all, I've seen your body before, so let me help you put it on! If I wanted to do something to you, wouldn't I have done it already?" Rong Jing asked softly, "How is that?"

  Yun Shallow Moon hugged the quilt and didn't move.

  "It's already late today, Yunwu Mountain is a hundred miles away from the capital! Even with a fast horse, it would take two hours. Moreover, Yunwu Mountain is a thousand feet high, and you still need to climb up. Time is not on our side. We can't delay any longer."

  "Alright!" Yun Qian Yue pushed away the quilt. Only then did she discover that outside her belly warmer was a moon-white satin soft robe, obviously the clothes Rong Jing wore to sleep in, equivalent to pajamas. Without thinking, he must have changed into it for her after she fell asleep. She looked at Rong Jing with a red face and didn't say anything.

  Rong Jing seemed to smile slightly, his fingers lightly lifted, and the moon-white soft robe fell from Yun Shang Yue's body, revealing skin with a pink mark. He looked at her deeply, gently tied the silk ribbon that had come undone on her bellyband, and then took the neatly stacked clothes from the head of the bed and wrapped them around Yun Shang Yue's body. His fingertips seemed to brush against her skin, warm and cool, causing layer upon layer of tremors.

  Yun Shallow Moon closed her eyes and didn't dare look at Rong Jing, her face red as if burned by fire.

  When did she experience such a romantic encounter, exposing her beauty in front of a man?

  When was it that I had been so intimate with a man as to have him help me dress?

  When...

  The room was quiet, with only the soft sound of clothes being put on, Yun Shang Yue felt her breathing stop, and Rong Jing's breathing was also light and imperceptible.

  After a long while, Rong Jing let go of his hand and looked at Yun Qian's pale face with a hint of red, smiling lightly. "So you're afraid sometimes too?"
