"Miss, can we come in?" A soft inquiry came from the entrance.

  "Hmm." Xia Tian Meng responded with a murmur, her pale and slender fingers tapping gently on the table, her clear and bright eyes gazing at the "Lady Butterfly" painting on the wall, her delicate face expressionless.

  Chen Yu saw her like this and didn't dare ask more, silently sending the newly brewed tea to the table. Luo Yan knew she wasn't good at speaking, so she pushed Chen Yu, who had always been confused, not knowing why Miss called them to brew tea that night, when one person could have done it, yet Chen Yu pulled her along.

  The maid, Chen Yu, walked in and poured a cup of tea for Xia Tian, asking in a low voice, "What's wrong?" She had always been more meticulous than Luo Yan and had already noticed that the window, which was closed when she left, was now open. Although she didn't think of the shocking possibility that someone had entered Miss's bedroom, she did guess that Miss was not feeling well.

  Xia Tian Mo heard this and glanced at her with a faint smile: "It's just a small matter."

  It just didn't occur to her that she had underestimated the Mary Sue halo of Ye Ruxue, and it was actually possible to meet the male lead so quickly even after destroying 30%. In the original text, Ye Ruxue only met Amuer after attending the palace banquet. After Amuer's assassination attempt on Emperor Wei failed, he escaped to a foreign surname king's mansion. As for why he would escape to a king's mansion, Xia Tianmeng could only attribute it to the 'female' lead's halo effect. Otherwise, in such a vast city, where else couldn't you hide but in the backyard of a king's mansion?

  Now all the plots have been advanced, for example, Amu, who was originally supposed to assassinate Weixi Emperor at the palace banquet, went ahead and made a move. It's just unknown whether Amu will take action again at the palace banquet, but it should not be easy to give up on the plan. After all, Amu has not yet left his original organization and still needs to complete his mission.

  And overthrowing the entire Xia Dynasty was their organizational goal.

  At present, Amour has not revealed his identity to Ye Ruxue, and Ye Ruxue only thinks he is a professional killer... perhaps this is the turning point she can break through.

  She has been stuck in this world for too long, and her task progress is too slow. Moreover, because her task is to capture the male lead, there are eight male leads in this world... She seems to want to capture all of them!

  She doesn't have Mary Sue's halo of being infallible, all she has is the benefits she currently possesses.

  She's pretending to have amnesia just to make her future actions more convenient. Since this world has the "Night Frost" bug, she won't arouse anyone's suspicion even if she changes due to amnesia. If she always maintained the image of a gentle lady, her options would be limited. For example, Nan Qi and that demonic cult leader wouldn't have been moved to action.

  They want something special. A special 'woman' who can arouse their interest.

  When she can see it, she goes all out to destroy the original plot, and what she can't see... let Ye Ruoxin get it first, then lose it.

  "In three days, it's the Dragon Boat Festival. I think it'll be very lively?" Xia Tian Meng took over the tea cup that Chen Yu had poured for her, and the warm temperature transmitted from her palm to bring some warmth to her chilly hand.

  The fallen goose didn't understand why the young lady looked unhappy earlier, but now seeing her ask about a topic of interest, she quickly chimed in: "Yes! Every year during the Wan Shou Festival, there will be a grand feast for all the people! The streets will be filled with lion dances and acrobatic performances! And neighboring countries will come to congratulate us, making the capital city lively for a long time!"

  Xia Tian Mo suddenly remembered Lán Xiǎo Fán, who had been deeply in love with Jū Shí Zhāo. In the original text, Yè Rú Shuāng was described as 'beautiful' and surpassed all others, but she alone did not receive his favor. Although he thought she was special, he still pined for Lán Xiǎo Fán.

  She lost her memory when she was close to Lan Xuanfan and understood her feelings for Ju Shizhao, but in the original text, Ju Shizhao had a deep abusive relationship with Lan Xuanfan. Although it was not explicitly stated, it roughly expressed that Ju Shizhao valued power more, choosing to marry the 'female' emperor, and after eight years, he finally obtained the throne and made Lan Xuanfan his empress.

  Although he was sincere to Xiaofan, Xiatian Meng still felt that Xiaofan had suffered too much. In the original text, she abandoned her family and went to Sangyuan to be a nameless 'concubine' of Zhao Shi, suffering all kinds of humiliation from the 'empress'. Even if she became the empress in the end, it's likely that the love in her heart had already been worn away.

  If it is said that in the original text, she had no choice but to accompany Zhāo Shí all along. After all, she was unmarried and 'promiscuous' / 'fled' which was shameful for others. The old Prime Minister was advanced in age and only had this one 'daughter'. After his death, the family also declined. She lived far away in Sāng Yuán, without any backing. If it weren't for Zhāo Shí's kindness, she might not have been able to survive! It seems that her later thoughts were only to clear her father's name, otherwise why would she request to publicly announce the true nature of the 'promiscuity' / 'flight' after taking the throne?

  Now she is her own best friend, how could she have stood by and watched herself suffer so much for so many years?

  As for living in seclusion... he should understand that some people and things can't be found again once they're lost.

  At that time, Jūshō was still on the carriage from Kuwabara to Teisha and did not know that due to someone's 'insertion', he began to walk towards the path of wife slavery, never to return.

  "The Regent, we have arrived at the outskirts of the capital. I think we can enter the palace tomorrow!" The 'guard' captain riding a horse beside the carriage leaned in close to the window and reported. They had been on the road for over a month now, not exactly dusty and exhausted but it wasn't a comfortable thing either.

  "Hmm." A faint response came from inside the carriage, a single syllable that still managed to startle those who heard it.

  The young maid in a blue dress, sitting on the threshold of the carriage, slightly raised her eyes to look at the man sitting on the white sheepskin rug, leisurely flipping through the memorial. Her hair was tied up with a jade crown, and her face was handsome, even with a hint of intimidation. His sword-like eyebrows were slightly raised, and he wore a long black robe with golden silk edges, giving off an air of wildness.

  It was a man who looked like a noble emperor, controlling the lifeline of the entire Sangyuan country. Before the death of the former emperor, he was appointed as the regent king by the will, and before the "female" emperor came of age, he took charge of all state affairs. The former emperor gave him so many rights, allowing him to make the entire court his own world... The "female" emperor is now 14 years old, at the age when she should be married, and there are not many ministers in the court who dare to ask the "female" emperor to get married and take control of the jade seal. What awaits them is only exile to a distant place on the second day.

  Everyone thought he would seize the throne, even though so many people did not want to, yet were so afraid.

  "Flowing silk." At this time, Zhao Wei glanced at her briefly and carelessly withdrew his gaze.

  Liu Su suddenly came back to her senses and realized she had been staring blankly, hastily lowering her head to say: "Miss Lan has been going back and forth to the General's residence for the past few days."

  His thick and dense eyebrows furrowed slightly, seemingly displeased: "Why?" This time, due to the haste of his arrival, it was also very troublesome for the dark guard to pass on messages, so it usually took several days to receive news.

  Liu Su lowered her head and didn't dare to look up: "I heard it was because the Ninth Prince was injured while hunting, and his body had a strange poison that only Miss Lan could cure." She also knew that Miss Lan's art was exceptional, but she had a peculiar personality and didn't like to treat others.

  As expected, Ju Shi Zhaoyi put down the book on the table with a look of discontent: "She didn't even hide her medical skills?" When he was injured before, she had hesitated for a long time before taking action! How come this Ninth Prince got injured and she's willing to lend a hand? Even when the Female Emperor was seriously ill, she hadn't seen her lift a finger!

  Liu Su's lips were slightly bitten, and his legs couldn't help but go soft under the pressure: "It... it was because of Miss Xia! The Ninth Prince was injured while saving Miss Xia, and Lan Miss joined them on a spring outing, so she made her move!"

  At that time, Zhao Wei slightly restrained her anger and never had the leisure to read books again. She leaned against the car wall with a cold face, closing her eyes to cultivate her spirit. Even though she knew it was because of her good friend's help in private, she still felt uncomfortable! Last time on his birthday, she didn't even send a letter!

  Could it be that because he also nodded and agreed with her, she didn't take herself seriously?

  Dividing line----

  In the midst of the bustling city, Yue Lai wine house was already packed with customers nearing noon. The large wine house was filled with the chatter and laughter of guests and the shouting of waiters.

  In the private room on the third floor, a beautiful woman sat with two slender and pretty maids standing behind her, one peeling fruit skin and the other brewing tea.

  The door was opened from the outside by someone, and the thin silk curtain made it impossible for the waiter who had brought the guest to see inside clearly. He also understood that those young ladies would not show their faces easily, so he bowed and smiled: "Miss, the guest you've been waiting for has arrived."

  The newcomer also wore a hat, with a light blue wide-sleeved water skirt, and had a elegant posture. Upon hearing the words, he slightly waved his hand, and the maid who followed him took out a silver ingot from her bag and handed it to him: "Good wine and good dishes are picked up well, go quickly."

  The little servant saw that he had received so much reward money, and burst out laughing: "Ah! Ah! I'm going now! Please wait a moment!" After finishing speaking, he ran down with a rustling sound.

  "Hey, how come you're free to invite me here today?" The leading 'girl' took off the hat on her head, revealing a beautiful face, which was none other than Lan Xiao Fan.

  Xia Tian Mo slightly raised her lips and looked at her: "I don't remember anything now, but I feel very familiar with you, so I posted to invite you to meet up."

  Lan Xiang was taken aback, her hand frozen in the motion of handing the silk hat to the maid: "What did you say?" Had she misheard? What do you mean by saying that nothing is remembered?

  Xia Tian Mo slightly nodded and said to the people behind her, "You all go wait next door, I have something to discuss with Miss Lan."

  The woman who had been standing by the window immediately curtsied and backed away. Lan Xiao saw this and also waved her hand, and the maid who had come with her followed her out. The entire private room was suddenly left with only the two of them.

  Lan Xuanfan reached out to take her pulse, but Xia Meng didn't move, just smiling as she looked at her. She wanted to see if Lan Xuanfan's exceptional medical skills could really detect anything unusual. Previously, the imperial physician had come to examine her and couldn't find any "hair" of a problem, and when he saw her again, he simply said that she didn't remember anything. The doctors, who sought no merit but only to avoid blame, naturally went along with this.

  "Hmm......" Lan Xuan furrowed her brow tightly, staring at her, "Except for a cold, there are no symptoms of brain injury!" It's not poisoning, nor is it a head injury, so why would she suddenly forget everything?

  Xia Tian Mo's lips curled up at the corners as he smiled: "Because I am a purposeful amnesiac."
