Chapter Eighty-two Delightful Sight

  The night sky was dark and gloomy, and Mo Li's face turned pale as he stared at Mo Lai.

  Mo Li's face was cold and unyielding, his eyes devoid of even a hint of warmth.

  The night sky was dark and suspicious, but as long as he forced his way or took action, Mo Li's sword would never be polite again. With his martial arts skills, Mo Li was not inferior to him in the slightest. So if he took action again, it might not just be the hem of his sleeve that was cut off. His eyes were gloomy and sunken, but he didn't dare make another move. However, after all these years, no one had ever dared to be presumptuous towards him, so he couldn't help but feel annoyed. He turned his head and scolded Yun Meng angrily: "Yun, the chief steward, this is the guard of your royal palace? What a big nerve! How dare you be disrespectful to me, the crown prince!"

  Yun Meng broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't expect Mo Li to actually dare to lay hands on the Crown Prince. He composed himself and bowed his head to Ye Tianqing, saying: "Your Highness, please forgive him, it's not his fault, he is my family's young lady's personal guard, only taking orders from my family's young lady alone. Even if it were Your Highness, it would be no exception."

  "What a loyal and dedicated guardian. If you're so devoted to protecting your master, why did you still let Moon Sister get hurt? What's the point of having a guardian like you who can't even do their job?" Ye Tian Jing's anger was simmering just below the surface as he glared at Mo Li.

  "My family's young lady has only this one name, a personal bodyguard. And the assassin was one of the hundred dead bodies. With one person against a hundred people, His Highness the Crown Prince should also be able to imagine how dangerous the situation was at that time, and it's not his fault." Yun Meng, although dissatisfied with Ye Tianqing in his heart, after all, he is the crown prince, could only patiently explain.

  Yè Tiān Qīng Lěng Hēng yī shēng, gāng yào zài shuō shén me, shēn hòu hū rán xiǎng qǐ yī shēng dà xiào, "běn tài zǐ lǎo yuǎn jiù tīng dào zhè yuàn zǐ lǐ rè rè nào nào, wǒ dàng shì shuí ne! Yuán lái shì Tiān Shèng de tài zǐ diàn xià! Bǎi wén bù rú yī jiàn, Tiān Shèng tài zǐ diàn xià de fēng xí dāng zhēn shì wú rén néng jì ā!"

  Ye Tian suddenly turned his head and saw Nan Lingrui walking in.

  Nan Lingrui was not wearing the attire of the Western Liang prince, but a magnificent brocade robe with jade belt. Because yesterday and last night, he and Ye Qing were caught in Rong Jing's scheme, they vomited and had diarrhea all night, what a turmoil, resulting in his face being pale today, holding a folding fan with a picture of a lady, walking with three sways per step. His eyes fixed on the sleeve of Ye Tianqing's clothes that was cut off by Mo Li, laughing wildly and wickedly, this praise was actually mocking Ye Tianqing to the extreme.

  Ye Tian saw Nan Lingrui's sneering and arrogant smile, as well as his derogatory words that everyone could hear. His face suddenly turned gloomy, and he looked at Nan Lingrui with a cold and stern gaze. He forced a smile and said, "So it's the Crown Prince of Nan Liang! People say you have a unique demeanor, and today I've finally seen it for myself, opening my eyes wide."

  "Haha, that's natural. The Crown Prince has always been uniquely elegant, something others can't learn." Nan Lingrui seemed to not notice Ye Tianqing's sarcastic remark, and burst out laughing instead. The fan in his hand unfolded even wider, and under the bright sunlight, the beauty on the fan cover was stunningly charming.

  Ye Tian was probably not expecting Nan Lingrui to be so shameless, he looked at him with a stern face, "The Crown Prince is not in the imperial palace, how can he appear in this Yun Wangfu now? Moreover, this is also the Shallow Moon Pavilion of the Moon Sister, will the Crown Prince not tell Ben Taizi that he doesn't know where this place is?"

  "It's only natural to know, the Crown Prince was having a meal here in the middle of the night yesterday! How could he not know that this is Shallow Moon Miss's Shallow Moon Pavilion? As for coming to Yun Wang Fu...” Nan Lingrui put away his smile, looked at Ye Tianqing, and sold a suspenseful look. With a flick of his folding fan, he said with an extremely elegant tone: "This morning, the Crown Prince ordered all my luggage to be sent to Yun Wang Fu. In the future, during this period in Tian Sheng, the Crown Prince will reside in Yun Wang Fu."

  Ye Tian heard this and her heart skipped a beat, her eyebrows instantly rising high, "You say you want to move into the Yun King's residence?"

  "Indeed!" Nan Lingrui nodded and smiled: "The Night Crown Prince's ears are not deaf, he didn't hear wrong."

  "The Emperor arranged a temporary palace for the Crown Prince Rui, but he refused to stay. Why did he want to move into the Yunwang Mansion?" Ye Tian raised an eyebrow, no longer hiding his cold and stern expression, as he gazed at Nan Lingrui, "This is disobedience to the Emperor's decree!"

  "The Crown Prince got food poisoning here yesterday, so he needs to rest and recover here. The Yun Wang Fu should take responsibility for the Crown Prince's well-being. This morning, the Crown Prince has already reported this matter to His Majesty Tian Sheng, and His Majesty has agreed. Moreover, it was Miss Yun Qian Yue who invited me to stay here yesterday! I couldn't possibly reject her kind intentions!"

  "Did she invite you to move in?" Night Sky suddenly remembered the secret report from yesterday that Nan Lingrui, Yun Qianyue and Rong Jing came to the Cloud King's Mansion, but at that time he was furious because Yun Qianyue had publicly slapped him and wanted to marry Rong Feng at the Martial Arts Conference, so he didn't pay attention to this matter. Now it turns out that Yun Qianyue is the one who invited Nan Lingrui to move in? She first refused to marry Rong Feng, now she's flirting with Nan Lingrui, what does she want to do?

  "Does the Crown Prince still dare to deceive Ye Taizi?" Nan Lingrui withdrew his gaze and said very affirmatively, "If you don't believe me, Ye Taizi can go in and ask Miss Shallow Moon."

  Yun Meng stood by, his forehead covered in cold sweat. He thought to himself that this Nan Liang Rui Taizi was truly a ruthless master who knew exactly where to strike, yet still chose to bring up the fact that Mo Li was under the prince's command and couldn't enter Shallow Moon Pavilion.

  The night sky was dark and the veins on his forehead throbbed with anger, seemingly already furious to the extreme. However, Nan Lingrui was now a noble guest of the Tian Sheng Empire, so he forcibly suppressed his anger and spoke in a low voice: "Since it's Moon Sister's kind invitation and the Crown Prince has obtained the Emperor's permission, then staying at the Yun Wang Fu is also acceptable. This prince only feared that the Yun Wang Fu didn't have good accommodations, and would poorly receive the Crown Prince."

  "The Yunwangfu may not be as good as the imperial palace, but with Shallow Moon Miss around, even if it's not the best, this prince thinks it's exceptionally good. So, Night Prince doesn't have to worry about this prince anymore." Nan Lingrui folded his fan and took a step forward, approaching Night Tianqing and saying in a low voice: "This prince just heard that Shallow Moon Miss and Jing Shizi were secretly plotted against and almost assassinated. The Tian Shengjing is really not peaceful, this prince doesn't dare to stay in the imperial palace anymore. This prince wants to live a few more years, what if I get killed? The beauties in my Nan Liangfu will definitely be heartbroken, I don't want them to be sad, so it's better to keep my life."

  Ye Tian's eyes narrowed as he looked at Nan Lingrui.

  Nan Lingrui leaned in another inch, looking up at the night sky with a mysterious expression and said: "I also heard that today in the Shangshu House, Jing Shizong said that the young lady of the Chengxiang Mansion is talented enough to be the empress, but before this statement had even cooled down, someone openly assassinated Jing Shizong and Shallow Moon Miss. This matter is really suspicious!"

  The night sky is filled with thoughts and emotions.

  "You say that Shallow Moon is just a little brat, and it's simply laughable to describe her as 'utterly useless', yet someone actually came to assassinate her? How ridiculous! She's alive and kicking, but what a waste of space. Who would even bother with such a worthless thing?" Nan Lingrui seemed to have opened up, treating Ye Tianqing like an old friend. "But perhaps it's because she was dragged down by Jing Shizi. Jing Shizi is the number one prodigy in Tian Sheng, and during his time in the Imperial Study, wasn't Emperor Tian Sheng saying that with Jing Shizi around, Tian Sheng could withstand a million strong soldiers? Some people want to harm Tian Sheng, but they ended up harming Jing Shizi instead."

  The night sky was still silent, continuing to gaze at Nan Lingrui, the coldness faded away, this time his heart didn't know what it was thinking.

  Nan Lingrui took another step closer, and the two brothers leaned in, putting their arms around Ye Tian's shoulders. Without any ulterior motives, they whispered: "Night Prince, I didn't expect the Tian Sheng Imperial City to be so turbulent. If I had known earlier, this prince would rather die than come. Someone even dared to assassinate the Jing Shizong of Rong Wangfu and the only legitimate daughter of Yun Wangfu. However, now that this prince has arrived, he doesn't regret it at all. The girls in Tian Sheng are really captivating. Especially SuSu from Yan Liu Lou, her figure is so slender it's as if water could drip from it, and her eyes are so charming... they've hooked this prince's soul. And then there's..."

  "Prince Rui!" Night Sky originally wanted to extract some useful information from Nan Lingrui's mouth, and also wanted to determine Nan Lingrui's thoughts through this, to see if he had any ulterior motives towards the Tian Sheng diagram. After all, Nan Liang was becoming increasingly powerful, but unexpectedly, Nan Lingrui's mind was filled with these things, and as they spoke, he suddenly took his leave, not having much time to idle around here with him. Pushing him away, he coldly glanced at Mo Li, and said to Yun Meng: "I just heard that Moon sister was injured, I'm worried about her health, so I came over to take a look. Since she's resting, I'll come again tomorrow."

  "The old slave will inform the young lady of our house." Yun Meng immediately bowed his head.

  "The Crown Prince still needs to enter the palace and report to the Emperor about this matter. Since Rui Taizi is not feeling well, it's better for him to rest and recover. If news of Rui Taizi being poorly taken care of in Tian Sheng spreads back to Nan Liang, the King of Nan Liang will think that I, Tian Sheng, am bullying his Crown Prince!" Ye Tian Qing looked at Nan Ling Rui.

  "Haha, Father King, you're so easy to talk to!" Nan Lingrui didn't think so.

  Ye Tian Qing no longer paid attention to Nan Ling Rui, turned around and walked out of Shallow Moon Pavilion, with the same hurried footsteps as when he came.

  Nan Lingrui watched as Ye Tianqing walked away, not taking his eyes off him until he disappeared from view. He then turned back to Yun Meng and chuckled, shaking the painting of the imperial concubine, "You think this Prince Ye is quite interesting, don't you?"

  Yun Meng nodded, neither nodding nor shaking his head, and made a bow to Nan Lingrui, lowering his voice: "Prince Rui, we can't quarrel here, Miss will not sleep well. In my opinion, you are not feeling well, why don't you go back to your room and rest?"

  "It's not just two people, even if it were two thousand, as long as your young lady doesn't want to see you, she can still sleep soundly." Nan Lingrui looked at Yun Shangyue's room, showing no intention of leaving.

  "Jing Shizi also lives in this courtyard! Jing Shizi is a quiet person." Yun Meng reminded him in a low voice.

  "Oh? Does Jing Shizi also live here?" Nan Lingrui turned his head to look at Yun Meng.

  "Yes, Miss's injury is severe. Old Master Wang will have Jing Shizi stay and take a good look at Miss." Yun Meng nodded. When mentioning Yun Qianyue's injury, his old face couldn't help but be filled with worry.

  "Jing Shizi is indeed a quiet person, so I won't go in. I'll just go play chess with Old Master Wang instead. Although his chess skills are not as good as mine, it's still a way to pass the time." Nan Lingrui turned around and was about to leave.

  Yun Meng's mouth twitched, obviously Prince Rui had lost to Old Master Wang at chess yesterday, but today he was actually saying that Old Master Wang's chess skills were bad without showing any shame. He didn't dare argue with Prince Rui, so he could only remind him in a soft voice, "Prince Rui, Old Master Wang and the King have just entered the palace. Why don't you go back to your room and rest?"

  "Ah, so you've entered the palace!" Nan Lingrui furrowed his brow and then waved his hand, "Then go and summon Su Su from the Smoke Willow Pavilion for me. Su Su's songs and melodies are quite good, it'll be nice to have her entertain this prince."

  Yun Meng was shocked, "Rui Taizi, this is Yun Wang Fu, how can the woman from Wuyue Lou enter at will?"

  "How can she just barge in? Isn't there an order from the Crown Prince?" Nan Lingrui was unconvinced, and ordered Yun Meng to leave: "Don't you hurry up and go? Otherwise, I'll stay here and not move, making it so that your young mistress and the Crown Prince can't sleep well."

  Yun Meng looked at Nan Lingrui with a bad expression, "Prince Rui, please forgive me, but I, an old slave, cannot carry out such an order. What kind of dignity does the Yun King's Manor have? Can it be tarnished by a courtesan?"

  "Isn't Yun Wangye's concubine from the Wangchun Building? The Crown Prince only asked me to sing for him. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Yesterday, Old Master Wang said that the Crown Prince can have whatever he wants in the mansion without any restrictions." Nan Lingrui glared at him.

  “Hmph…” Yun Meng was speechless for a moment. He thought about what Old Master Wang had said the night before, but he couldn't understand why Old Master Wang had taken a liking to Rui Taizi and let him stay in the Cloud King's Manor, not to mention letting him roam around freely, and even told him that all his requests would be granted.

  "Hurry up!" Nan Lingrui urged Yun Meng.

  "Rui Taizi, there are also song girls in the mansion. If you want to dispel boredom, it's not hard to say. I'll just call a song girl to your room. Why must it be Su Su from Yan Liu Lou?" Yun Meng thought of a compromise.

  "No, the crown prince is about to summon Su Su. Can the songstress in your mansion sing as well as Su Su? Can she be as beautiful and charming as Su Su? Is her skin as white as Su Su's?..." Nan Lingrui disagreed.

  "Mo Li, throw him out for me." Suddenly, a voice came from inside the house.

  Nan Lingrui was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Rong Jing to be in Yun Shuange's room. He stared at the room in disbelief. The curtains were drawn, and the doors and windows were tightly closed, so he couldn't see anything.

  "Yes!" Mo Li had long wanted to throw Nan Lingrui out, and now that he heard Rong Jing's order, he stepped forward.

  "Hey, aren't you Moon's guard? Why are you listening to him?" Nan Lingrui pointed at Mo Li. His body was weak and now he wasn't Mo Li's match, he wanted to throw him but it would be easy.

  Mo didn't break his stride, but quickly arrived at Nan Lingrui's side, instantly reaching out to grab his shoulder. With a slight exertion of his wrist, Nan Lingrui's body flew out.

  Yun Meng seemed to have not expected that Rong Jing was still lingering in Yun Qian Yue's room. He was shocked and his eyes widened as he saw Mo Li throw Nan Ling Rui out, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly flew towards the direction where Nan Ling Rui was thrown out. Mo Li's skills were something he was very familiar with, and now that Rong Jing was a noble guest, having been exhausted from being given medicine the previous night, his martial arts were completely useless. If Rong Jing were to be injured or crippled in Yun Wang Fu, King Nan would be furious, and the Emperor would also be furious. That would spell disaster for Yun Wang Fu.

  Nan Lingrui's body spun in mid-air, lightly floating down to land on the lake shore not far from Shallow Moon Pavilion. That lake was the same one where Phoenix Consort had been thrown into last time.

  Yun Meng arrived later and saw Nan Lingrui was fine, so he let out a sigh of relief.

  Nan Lingrui glanced at the lake's edge, less than half a step away from where his foot had landed. If Fan Mo had used a bit more force, he would have ended up as a drowned rat. He let out a sigh of relief, looked down at the folding fan in his hand, which was still intact, and smiled calmly at Yun Meng, whose face was still pale with fright: "Fortunately, this prince's jade fan didn't get smashed."

  Yun Meng looked at the painting of beautiful women reclining on jade beds and was speechless.

  "Oh my, I didn't expect Jing Shizi to have such skills, he's actually staying overnight at the Shallow Moon Pavilion." Nan Lingrui took a few steps away from the lake and looked at the Shallow Moon Pavilion, leaning in close to Yun Meng and lowering his voice: "What do you think would happen if Ye Tianqing found out that Jing Shizi had entered Mo'er's boudoir?"

  Yun Meng didn't respond, thinking that Jing Shizi wasn't someone who would disregard the etiquette of a gentleman. Yet today's sky was already nearing dusk, so why was he still in Miss Qianyue's chambers? Could it be that Miss Qianyue's injuries were too severe? If this got out, Jing Shizi and Miss Qianyue... But thinking back to yesterday's rumors about Jing Shizi and his family's young lady, he was momentarily perplexed.

  "Will Night Sky get angry and jump into thunder?" Nan Lingrui asked again.

  Yun Meng furrowed his brow and still didn't respond.

  "But Crown Prince thinks it's unlikely, the talented Miss Qin from the Chancellor's residence is a great talent, while your family's young lady is completely ignorant. Ye Tianqing isn't an idiot, how could he not know the pros and cons?" Nan Lingrui fanned himself with his folding fan, with an expression that said "I know everything".

  Yun Meng didn't understand what was going on in Rui Taizi's mind. If he said that Rui Taizi had designs on the young lady, it didn't seem like it; if he said that Rui Taizi was a flirt, his eyebrows were clear and his eyes were cold and piercing, not like someone who was infatuated with women. If he said that Rui Taizi was unbridled, it also didn't seem to be the case. Only now did Yun Meng truly feel that Rui Taizi was indeed profound and unfathomable, making it impossible for people to see through him. No wonder he could get Old Master Wang to treat him with special favor. His expression became more respectful as he advised Rui Taizi: "My family's young lady is heavily injured, so I'm sure that Jing Shizhu will have a hard time treating her and must be staying in the young lady's room for now. Rui Taizi should go back to his room and rest! If you really want to... listen to Su Su sing, this old slave will go instruct someone to invite her over."

  "Never mind! The prince is frightened, what's the point of listening to music? Go back and rest!" Nan Lingrui waved his hand, threw down a sentence, and walked towards the courtyard next to Old Master Wang's courtyard with three swaying steps.

  Yun Meng saw that this Buddha had finally stopped making trouble and was now calm. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked towards the gate.

  "Grand Steward, Miss Yu Qing from the Prime Minister's residence has come to visit Miss Shallow Moon!" Just as Yun Meng took a few steps, a guard at the door hurried over and reported.

  Yun Meng hadn't spoken yet, and Nan Lingrui, who hadn't gone far, turned around and walked back. "Just in time, the Crown Prince has heard that Miss Qin from the Chancellor's residence is a great talent, worthy of being the Empress. The Crown Prince also heard that her piano skills are not bad, so he called her in to show off her skills."

  "This... Crown Prince Rui, isn't it a bit...?" Yun Meng looked at Nan Lingrui with difficulty, secretly scolding the servant for reporting at the wrong time and provoking this Buddha-like person.

  "What's wrong? Moon is currently recovering from her injuries, and it's not convenient for anyone to disturb her. However, it's also not good to just send someone away like this, after all, the guest has arrived! I, the Crown Prince, will take Moon's place in welcoming Miss Qin." Nan Lingrui said as he walked towards the main gate, his steps swift and powerful, like a tiger striding through the wind.

  Yun Meng didn't know how many times he had been left speechless by Nan Liang's crown prince today. It was as if he were the master of Yun Wang Fu himself. Was there a guest who took the place of the host to welcome guests? In a short time, he also understood Nan Lingrui's temperament and couldn't persuade him, so he could only follow him to the door.

  Yun Meng and Nan Lingrui left, and Shallow Moon Pavilion finally quieted down.

  Everyone outside, including Cai Lian, did their chores quietly and carefully, not daring to make a sound. Mo Li also retreated.

  Inside the room, it seemed that just now outside a disturbance was unclear to Yun Shallow Moon and she didn't know, still sleeping very soundly. Rong Jing also didn't pay attention to what situation was outside, continuing to sleep.

  The Shallow Moon Pavilion is quiet and soundless.

  Compared with the tranquility of Shallow Moon Pavilion, the entrance and front yard of Yunwang Fu had never been interrupted by people coming.

  After Ye Tianqu left, Qin Yujing came, and after being warmly entertained by Nan Lingrui, she left. Then Rong Linglan and Liu Gongzhu arrived. Liu Gongzhu originally went to the Rong Wangfu, but waited for a long time without seeing Rong Jing return to the mansion. Later, it was learned that Rong Jing and Yun Shuoyue were assassinated, so they hurriedly rushed to the Yun Wangfu. Before Yun Meng could stop them at the door, Nan Lingrui had already invited them in, and again warmly entertained them. Afterwards, many people who received the news came one after another, including young ladies from the inner chambers, and princes from various fu, most of whom were from the Rong Wangfu's various houses and courts coming to visit Rong Jing. These people almost trampled the threshold of the Yun Wangfu, Nan Lingrui was delighted, not tired of it at all, and warmly entertained them one by one, regardless of whether they were male or female.

  The sun had set and the moon was high in the sky when the entrance of Yun Wang Fu finally quieted down.

  Nan Lingrui was so tired that he finally couldn't keep his eyes open and went back to his room to sleep soundly.

  Yun Meng was also exhausted, he could have just shut the door and refused to see anyone, but Rui Taizi insisted on being enthusiastic about receiving guests, this time it backfired, exhausting himself and making his old bones suffer.

  Yun Lao Wangye and Yun Wangye, as well as Yun Muhan, have not returned to the manor. Yun Lao Wangye and Yun Wangye remained in the imperial palace, while Yun Muhan, along with Ye Qingran, received the old emperor's decree to seal off Tian Sheng City and conduct a thorough search of every household, leaving no suspicious person or place unchecked, causing panic among the citizens of the capital.

  Inside the Imperial Palace's Shengyang Hall, civil and military officials as well as old courtiers who had not attended court for years, such as Ruyun Old Master Wang, De Old Master Wang, Xiaoxin Old Master Wang, and Rong Old Master Wang, once again ascended to the throne. The old emperor and the civil and military officials deliberated all night on the matter of Yun Shangyue and Rong Jing being openly assassinated by a hundred dead soldiers. The lights in the Shengyang Hall did not go out for the entire night.

  That night, except for the Shallow Moon Pavilion of the Yunwang Fu and the Purple Bamboo Garden of the Rongwang Fu, all households in the Tian Sheng were awake with their lights on.

  No matter how stormy the night was outside, with many people staying up all night, Rong Jing and Yun Shang Yue, the protagonists who triggered this assassination incident, slept soundly together in Shang Yue Pavilion.

  On the second day, when the sky was bright and the clouds were shallow, Yuelai woke up to find Rongjing lying beside her. Her originally clear and refreshed face suddenly clouded over with anger as she demanded, "How did you end up in my bed?"

  Rong Jing had already woken up, and with a helpless gaze at Yun Qian Yue, he slowly sighed: "Have you forgotten what happened yesterday? I was afraid that you would hurt your injured arm, so I stayed awake all night to watch over you. You don't even know how to be grateful, instead you wake up and give me the cold shoulder, it's really heartbreaking."

  Yun Shallow Moon frowned, yesterday's events suddenly flooded her mind. Her face looked a bit better, but she still had a stern expression and said: "Now that the sky is bright, don't tell me you plan to lie in my bed all day, I won't wake up, and you won't leave."

  "I wanted to leave, but your head was on my arm all night, how could I leave?" Rong Jing sighed again. It's said that women are the most gentle, but he couldn't see any gentleness from her at all. Yun Shang Yue only then realized that her head was still resting on his arm, and her whole body was almost stuck to his chest. She stiffened for a moment, then suddenly sprang up from bed, pointing at Rong Jing, wanting to say something, but seeing his body lying on the edge of the bed, not an inch of extra space left, if he squeezed any further, he would fall off the bed. Meanwhile, her side of the bed was empty for more than half, and Rong Jing was looking at her with innocent eyes, waiting for her to explode in anger. She fell silent for a moment, then scolded with a red ear: "Serves you right! Who told you to look at me? If you didn't look at me, my arm wouldn't be stuck either."

  "It can't be said for sure. Last night you slept like a pig, rolling back and forth, if I hadn't grabbed your arm, by now you would have torn open the wound and bled to death." Rong Jing looked at Yun Shang's red face and ears, feeling that her embarrassed and shy appearance was still somewhat like a woman's.

  "You sleep like a pig." Yun Shang Yue admitted that her sleeping posture was indeed bad. But being criticized so bluntly by someone for the first time, she let out a hum and kicked him with her foot, "Get up quickly, I want to eat steamed fish with egg custard sauce, you go make it."

  "Can't get up, my arm is numb." Rong Jing withdrew his gaze and lay still.

  Yun Qian Yue didn't think so, "Less nonsense, hurry up and roll out."

  Rong Jing closed his eyes and said in a low, mournful tone: "I was pressed by you for a whole night, and I'm really stiff all over and can't get up. At least I guarded you for a night, and you treat me like this? It's really unreasonable."

  Yun Shallow Moon looked at Rong Jing, seeing that his complexion was not bad, and he didn't look like he had been disturbed by her for a night without good sleep. However, his arms and legs were stiff and hadn't moved, apparently numb. She hesitated for a moment, looking unhappy as she reached out to pull him up.

  Just then, the door was pushed open, and the curtain was lifted with a rustling sound. A person rushed in like a gust of wind, and upon seeing the scene on the bed, they froze in shock, staring at the two people on the bed in disbelief. "Little girl, weak beauty, you...you..."

  The newcomer is indeed Ye Qingran!

  Yun Qian Yue's hand was grasped by Rong Jing, and she turned her head to see that it was Ye Qing who had been lightly stained. She immediately dropped her guard, seeing him in a state of exhaustion and cold air, his clothes covered in dust, his hair uncombed, and his face unwashed. She couldn't help but stare for a moment before laughing: "What's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep all night? How did you manage to get yourself into this state?"

  At night, Ye Qing's eyes were still distracted as he looked at Rong Jing lying on the bed with a quilt covering both of them. He pointed at Rong Jing and asked Yun Qian Yue, "This weak beauty... how did he end up here?"

  Still in her bed!

  Yun Qian let out a hum, holding out her injured arm for Ye Qingran to see. "See, I got hurt saving him, so he has to stay and take care of me. I'm a light sleeper, someone needs to keep an eye on me. Who else can do it? It's only fair since this injury was for his sake."

  Yè Qīng Rǎn only then shifted his gaze to Yún Qiǎo Yuè's arm, which was wrapped in several layers of white gauze. He suppressed his surprise and rebuked Róng Jǐng with disdain, "You're despicable, using a woman as a shield against a hidden weapon. Do you still have the face to live?"

  Rong Jing lay still, slowly saying: "It was she who pitied me and feared I would get hurt, so she volunteered to block the hidden weapon for me. How can you blame me? Why should I be too ashamed to live?"

  "Nonsense! I'm worried about you, not that twelve gold...” Yun Shangyue was furious and stared at Rong Jing, saying half of the sentence before suddenly stopping and kicking him with her foot. She then turned around and angrily said: “Get up quickly and make me some steamed fish with pickled mustard greens!”

  Rong Jing kicked Yun Shangyue with one foot and sighed, "Your habit of kicking people is really bad, it must be changed."

  Yun Qian Yue hummed and withdrew her foot, "Hurry up! How long are you going to lie in bed?"

  "It's not that I didn't get up, isn't it obvious that I was pressed down by you and slept for a whole night, my whole body is numb?" Rong Jing looked extremely innocent and helpless, but remained unmoved by Yun Shang Yue's anger and roughness.

  Yun Qian stretched out her hand and pulled him up, pushing him to the ground, warning: "If you say one more word, I'll throw you out."

  Rong Jing stumbled and grabbed the bed frame to prevent himself from falling. He looked at Yun Shangyue, but this time he didn't say anything. Instead, he turned around and walked stiffly to the washbasin to clean his face.

  Yun Shallow Moon no longer cared about the scenery, and began to get out of bed with one hand.

  Ye Qing Ran looked at the two of them, each doing their own thing, and he was left standing to one side, somewhat dazed. After a while, he still couldn't snap out of it. He felt that something wasn't right, but couldn't quite put his finger on it. His mind was a jumbled mess, and he quickly shook his head to clear it, then turned to Yun Shang Yue with dissatisfaction: "Little girl, why did you let this black-hearted weakling stay in your room? Isn't this like inviting a wolf into the house?"

  Yun Shallow Moon got out of bed, using her good hand to pat the shoulder of Ye Qing Ran, who was still in a daze. She smiled and said, "Who knows who's the wolf and who's the sheep? He may be dark, but his character is still beyond doubt. Where would he do anything to me?" After speaking, she didn't want to say more, so she asked Ye Qing Ran, "You haven't told me what happened to you yet. Didn't sleep all night? Investigating the black hand behind your back? Any harvest?"

  Ye Qingyan glanced at Rong Jing, seeing him with his back to her, washing his face with a natural movement, as if he were in his own home. He moved his gaze away and looked at Yun Shangyue, seeing that she was not the slightest bit awkward or annoyed by his sudden intrusion. Thinking that what she said was right, they wouldn't be like this now if there was anything between them. He waved away the discomfort and panic he felt when he saw the two of them on the same bed together, and calmly replied to Yun Shangyue's words: "I and Brother Mohan investigated all night, but only found a tiny clue, and that clue can't even be considered a clue. This series of assassinations is so ingenious, with no flaws in the arrangement. Those dead soldiers seemed to have popped out of nowhere, it seems that the mastermind behind this is an expert, I, Xiao Wang, have never encountered such a high-level opponent before."

  Yun Qian Yue had already anticipated that the black-clad assassins' consecutive killings yesterday were meticulously planned, and the person hiding in the dark who released the hidden weapon was also part of a premeditated plan. It's clear that the person behind the scenes is no ordinary person. It's not surprising that they couldn't be easily found by Ye Qing and Yun Wu Han either.

  "Even a master may not be able to see it, how can you say that you yourself are useless?" Rong Jing turned his head and glanced at Ye Qingyan.

  "You're not even a waste, why did you let Xiao Yatou get hurt? Aren't you supposed to be amazing? The number one prodigy of Tian Sheng! I think by tomorrow, you'll be known as the number one waste of Tian Sheng. You still rely on women and hidden weapons, are you ashamed or not?" Ye Qingran immediately flared up, he had been busy for a whole night and yet this guy who didn't do anything was looking down on him, his anger couldn't be contained.

  "What's there to be ashamed of? The number one extraordinary talent in the Tian Sheng era was conferred by the Emperor himself, I've never said that I'm the number one extraordinary talent. Originally, I couldn't even lift my hands or carry anything on my shoulders, and now that my martial arts skills are all gone, it's only natural that I'm a useless person. You're not wrong either. Where did you hear that the young master has any abilities? He was once toyed with by Ye Qian, the number one beauty of Nanjiang, at the Broken Bridge of Lanling, now that's a lovely thing. The current young master is actually inferior to him." Rong Jing said gently while wiping his face with a handkerchief.

  Clouds shallow moon thinking of night light dyeing the first beauty of Nanzhong three teasing Lanling Broken Bridge, I don't know what kind of story it is.

  " Weak beauty, you dare mention Ye Qian again, I'll cripple you today!" Night Light's forehead throbbed with anger as he shouted.

  "Alright, I won't say anything more. That's your beloved, of course no one else is allowed to mention it." Rong Jing put down the handkerchief and said softly to Yun Shang Yue: "The lotus flower fish dish takes too long to cook, and today's weather isn't early anymore. Let's just make do with something else, anyway your injury won't heal in a day or two, and I'll be staying here for several days as well, how about I make it for you another day?"

  Yun Shallow Moon took a look at the sky and nodded, "Good!"

  Rong Jing glanced at Zhao Mama Cai Lian and others who stood at the door but didn't dare to come in, those people quickly ran down.

  "Weak beauty, I and Ye Qian are not..." Ye Qingran felt it necessary to correct the weak beauty's cognitive error. So that he wouldn't use Ye Qian to stimulate him when facing his opponent.

  "It's okay, he's just jealous that the number one beauty in Nanjiang likes you. Don't bother with him anymore. Tell me about what happened yesterday, how did the Emperor and my grandfather discuss things? Where were those corpses taken to? Did the Emperor issue an urgent order to Nanjiang?" Yun Shangyue thought about Ye Qian and Night Light Dye's affair, although she didn't understand it fully, but from Rong Jing and Nan Lingrui's words, she guessed out a general idea. It seemed that the beauty had been in a relationship with Nan Lingrui before, but later fell for Night Light Dye, set up a trap to tease him several times, and eventually won his heart, with the two promising to be together forever. This affair sounded dramatic, perhaps many people would envy Night Light Dye's good fortune, but the person involved, Night Light Dye, probably thought it was a humiliating matter, so every time Rong Jing mentioned it, he became furious, and she quickly helped him find an excuse to get out of the situation.

  Ye Qingran was cut off mid-sentence and turned her head to stare at Yun Shangyue with a strange expression.

  Her eyes sparkled with a hint of a smile, and her lips curled up in delight as she said to Yun Shangyue: "You're right, I am jealous. He's been traveling outside for seven years, touring mountains and rivers, while I'm stuck in the Rong Wang Fu, confined to this tiny space. How can one not feel frustrated? So, from now on, you should be nicer to me, and you won't need to be nice to him anymore. He has the number one beauty of Nanjiang, but there's no one by my side."

  Yun Shallow Moon frowned and hummed, "Being good to you is not impossible, it depends on your performance."

  Rong Jing smiled lightly and said in a soft voice: "Alright, I will definitely behave well."

  Yun Shallow Moon was finally satisfied.

  Ye Qing looked at the two of them, and only now did he realize that he had been blackened by Rong Jing without even knowing it. And it was done so subtly that no one suspected a thing. For a moment, Ye Qing was speechless, looking at Yun Shang Yue with a mixture of anger and frustration, his voice almost trembling with rage as he said: "Little girl, I'm telling you, there's nothing going on between me and Ye Qian! No romance, no love vows, it's all just nonsense spouted by this weak and beautiful person!"

  Yun Shallow Moon turned her head to look at Ye Qing's gentle smile, blinked her eyes and said, "Nothing?"

  "That's right, nothing at all!" Ye Qingchen's expression was serious, and originally there was nothing to begin with, so he naturally replied with a straightforward and unwavering tone, his back straight as a pen.

  Yun Shallow Moon looked at the solemn expression of Ye Qing, looking and looking, suddenly a music, stretched out his hand to pat his shoulder again, and said in a warm voice: "Good, I know, you have nothing. **, Two people are happy, it's not something shameful. Even if there is anything, what's afraid?"

  Yè qīng rǎn miàn sè yì jiāng, dēng zhe yún qiǎn yuè, jiā zhòng yǔ qì, "wǒ shuō méi yǒu!"

  Translation:

  Her face stiffened in the night, staring at the shallow moon and clouds, her tone became heavier, "I said there isn't!"

  "Alright, alright, if not then forget it. I know. Weren't you busy all night? Hurry up and wash your face, come have a meal here! After eating, we'll investigate, see who's so reckless as to send someone to kill me. If Miss finds him, she'll definitely skin him alive." Yun Shangyue waved her hand, pushing Ye Qingchen towards the water basin.

  Ye Qingran still wanted to explain, but he always felt that the little girl didn't believe what he said earlier. But Yun Shuoyue had already sat in front of the mirror, ignoring him, and called out to Rong Jing, "What are you standing there for? Come over quickly and braid my hair."

  "Good!" Rong Jing smiled and walked over, picked up the comb, and very skillfully combed through Yun Shangyue's black hair.

  Ye Qing watched the two of them, wanting to explain again but swallowed his words. He stared at Rong Jing's hands and frowned: "Little girl, don't you know that this hair isn't something just anyone can comb? This is going to be your..."

  "Goodness, where's the need for so much fuss? My hand is injured and I can't even comb my hair, not to mention I don't know how to do it anyway. Don't you see that there are only two of us in this room? Are you going to comb your hair?" Yun Qianyue raised an eyebrow at Ye Qingran.

  Ye Qingran shook his head and combed the woman's hair, something he wouldn't normally do.

  "That's it, you just treat him as a laborer, don't waste it." Yun Shangyue withdrew her gaze, and only when Ye Qian reminded her did she remember that in ancient times, only the husband could comb his wife's hair. She furrowed her brow, looking at the mirror, where Rong Jing stood behind her, his face as beautiful as jade, his eyebrows like a painting. She thought to herself that if her future husband grew up to be like Rong Jing, then every day she would enjoy watching him comb her hair in the mirror.
