Chapter 43: Reversal of Fortune, Furious Kiss

  The night sky was filled with falling words, and everyone also saw Yong Jing standing at the door. For a moment, everyone held their breath, and the room was as quiet as if no one was there.

  "Tian Yi is right, Jing Shizi has arrived just in time, come and take a look quickly!" The old emperor also looked at Rong Jing, with a glimmer of sharpness in his old eyes, "If you can save Xiao Wangye, and let the filial king not lose his son in his later years, I will also be able to rest easy!"

  "Jing Shizi, I entrust you with this, old minister!" Xiaojun Wang forced the Dahuan Dan into Leng Shaoshuo's mouth, succeeding only after several attempts. He turned his head and looked at Rong Jing with an imploring expression.

  Rong Jing seemed to have not heard what several people said, his eyes quietly gazing at Yun Qian Yue.

  Clouds were also watching Rong Jing. She admitted that she was greedy for the current beauty with Rong Jing and didn't want to restore her memory, letting those messy things in the past entangle her again. She thought she had already refused Ye Tianyi very ruthlessly, and she had also made it clear with Rong Jing that they would get married together, but she never expected Ye Tianyi not to give up. She underestimated this person's persistence. It was only because of this that such a thing happened, putting her and Rong Jing in a ridiculous situation. Her lips were tightly pursed, looking at Rong Jing's calm gaze, her heart was more disturbed. For so long, she understood Rong Jing better than anyone else. This calmness meant that his heart must have been turned upside down! She couldn't bear his gaze, shook off Ye Tianyi's hand and was about to walk over.

  Ye Tianyi tightly grasped her hand, unmoving.

  Yun Qian Yue turned her head, glaring at Ye Tian Yi with a scowl. Just as she was about to burst into anger and turn away, Ye Tian Yi looked towards Rong Jing's back and smiled, saying: "When I entered the palace, I saw that Rong Jing had been tied up by Liu Mei Mei. Who would have thought that Liu Mei Mei also followed him here? If Rong Jing had arrived a step earlier, perhaps we wouldn't need to use Yue'er's Great Returning Dan to save Cold Little Wang Ye's life!"

  Yun Shallow Moon immediately stopped talking, turned her head, and only then discovered that the Sixth Princess was standing not far behind Rong Jing. Today, she wasn't wearing a beautiful princess dress, but instead wore a simple white robe, without any hair accessories or makeup, with a light gauze wrapped around her forehead to cover up the wound from yesterday's fight. Without the imposing aura of yesterday, her small face now had lingering tear stains, and her beauty was even more captivating, like a pear blossom in the rain. Anyone who saw her would likely feel a surge of sympathy and tenderness towards her. Her heart skipped a beat as she looked at Ye Tianyi with a hint of anger still trapped in her throat, and for a moment, her eyes seemed to dim slightly as she gazed at the Sixth Princess.

  "What is wrong with Sixth Princess! How can she cling to Jing Shizong at this time?" The old emperor also looked at the Sixth Princess, his face was angry, but his tone did not show any anger, "Fortunately, Tian Yi arrived in time and found the Dahuan Dan for Yuelai. Jing Shizong has come now and it's not too late. Whether Leng Xiao Wangye can be saved is not enough with just Dahuan Dan, it also depends on Jing Shizong."

  "Prince Jing, please come quickly and save my son! I have wronged you many times in the past, but I beg of you to forgive me. This is my only child, if anything happens to him...!" The King saw that Prince Jing was unmoving, so he got up and walked over, preparing to kneel down. Today, he didn't care about his royal identity, as long as he could save his son, he wouldn't mind losing face.

  "Filial King, there's no need for such grand courtesy. As a doctor, my heart is set on saving lives. If my skills can save the young prince, I will do everything in my power to revive him." With a gentle wave of his sleeve, Rong Jing stopped Filial King from bowing and shifted his gaze away from Yun Qianyue's face, saying calmly.

  Filial King was overjoyed at once, "Thank you, Jing Shizi..."

  Rong Jing didn't look at Xiao Qin Wang, and instead walked towards the bed with a calm expression and gentle steps. The moon-white brocade robe moved slightly as he walked, creating a shallow arc, just like usual. However, everyone felt an inexplicable chill. He stopped three feet away from the bed, not looking at Yun Shangyue and Ye Tianyi standing beside it, but instead gazing quietly at Leng Shaoyu lying on the bed.

  The cloud is shallow and the moon suddenly lowers its head.

  Everyone stared at Rong Jing, feeling the oppressive atmosphere in the hall, and even dared not breathe.

  After a moment, Rong Jing turned his head towards the old emperor, "Jing can save Leng Xiao Wangye!"

  "Really? Jing Shizi... old minister... as long as you save Quan Zi... old minister is grateful to the extreme..." Before the old emperor could finish speaking, Xiaoqin Wang rushed over, his face excitedly looking at Rong Jing. Words were incoherent.

  "I knew it! Only Jing Shizi can bring back the spring with his magical hands! I, Tian Sheng, cannot find another person who can wield the magic of bringing back the spring like Jing Shizi!" The old emperor was also overjoyed.

  "But it will take about a month or so." Rong Jing's tone changed, and he glanced at Ye Tian with a hint of warning: "The Dahuan Dan is indeed a good thing, but its nature is too violent. It's a sacred medicine used by martial artists when their lives are in danger, worth thousands of gold coins, which can bring people back from the dead and protect their last breath. However, for ordinary people without any martial arts skills, it's hard to resist its strong medicinal properties. Therefore, when taking the medicine, one must also use acupuncture to help him resist the Dahuan Dan's powerful medicinal backlash, otherwise, even if he recovers, he will become an idiot."

  "Jing Shizi was just held back by his sixth sister and couldn't come, so Tian Yi had no choice but to use Yue'er's Dahuan Dan." Tian Yi smiled faintly, "In any case, as long as we can save Leng Xiaowangye, it's all good! After all, living for another month is better than losing one's breath." As he finished speaking, he looked at the Crown Prince, "Leng Wangshu, don't you think so?"

  "Yes, yes, Seventh Prince is right! As long as Jing Shizi can save Quan Zi, that's all that matters." Xiangqin Wang nodded repeatedly.

  "Very well!" Yong Jing nodded and said to the old emperor, "I will now give Lord Leng a needle. I don't like people around when I'm giving needles. Please, Your Majesty and all the gentlemen, go out and wait for a moment."

  "Jing Shizi has worked hard!" The old emperor nodded and walked out.

  The imperial physician in the palace originally wanted to see how Rong Jing would save the young prince, but he also knew that he didn't have the good fortune to witness it, so he stood up and hastily followed the old emperor out of the palace.

  Filial King stood still, gazing longingly at Rong Jing.

  Rong Jing said faintly: "Filial King Wang also asked to go outside for a moment!"

  Filial King Wang didn't want to leave, but he also knew Rong Jing's rules, so he could only walk out.

  "Let's go out and wait too!" Ye Tianyi pulled Yun Qianyue along as they walked outside.

  "The Seventh Prince can leave, but she must stay!" Rong Jing didn't look at the two of them, reached into his sleeve and pulled out a small brocade box, opened it, revealing a row of golden needles inside. The golden needles were as thin as cow hair. He lightly picked one up with his hand and said calmly.

  "Oh? Jing Shizi, what's going on?" Ye Tianyi stopped in his tracks and raised an eyebrow.

  The old emperor and others in front stopped at the door and turned their heads to look back at Rong Jing.

  "Her blood can help me with my needlework. Seventh Prince, is this reason enough?" Rong Jing looked at Ye Tianyi, "If it's not enough, I can change to another reason." As he spoke, he looked at Yun Qianyue, his voice light, "Tell the Seventh Prince, was your request for a royal marriage yesterday sincere or false? Was it to spite the Seventh Prince or did you truly mean it. Who is the person you like, speak clearly, lest the Seventh Prince misunderstands."

  Ye Tianyi grasped Yun Shangyue's hand tightly, "What is the meaning of these words, Jing Shi? Moonchild was only upset with me because I came back late. Besides, this pair of earrings she's wearing on her ears now were begged from my mother, they're not fake."

  "What can a pair of earrings explain?" Rong Jing raised an eyebrow, looking at Ye Tianyi. "Does the Seventh Prince want to say that they are mutually in love and have privately agreed to marry, with the earrings as a token of their engagement?" As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Ye Tianyi to respond, and instead said calmly: "I was seriously ill ten years ago, right? At that time, she was less than five years old, yet she already knew how to accept the Seventh Prince's token of affection?"

  The night sky's gaze sank slightly.

  "If the things that Seventh Prince sent when he was five years old can be considered as tokens of affection, then she must have received countless such tokens over the years! How many people send gifts to Miss Shallow Moon on her birthday every year? From childhood to adulthood, not only did Seventh Prince give her a pair of earrings, but also Crown Prince, Fourth Prince, Young Master Dye, and all the princes in this palace, who hasn't given her something?

  Jing looked at Ye Tianyi with a pale face. "Not everything can be called a token of affection. Only sachets and jade pendants are considered tokens of affection. Seventh Prince has been away from the capital for many years, thinking that Tian Sheng City is like Beijiang? Can a single willow leaf convey love?"

  The night sky was cold and gloomy, his tone slightly subdued. "Although the earrings are too young to count, I've been exchanging letters with her all these years since I went to Beijiang. If there's no emotional attachment, why would we keep exchanging letters for so many years? Doesn't Jing Shizi know that correspondence between men and women over several years doesn't necessarily mean anything?"

  "The Seventh Imperial Son's mother has passed away, and he lives alone in the north. You two have been close since childhood, so it's only natural that she would show some concern as a friend. Does exchanging letters for a few years really represent deep feelings? I don't think so!

  Rong Jing raised an eyebrow, glanced at Yun Shangyue, and said calmly: "Take out my jade pendant and let the Seventh Imperial Son take a look! And also, my handkerchief that you've been keeping well all this time. And the red brocade I gave you, show them to the Seventh Imperial Son too, so he knows what a token of affection really is. How ridiculous!"

  Ye Tianyi didn't expect that after he exposed the connection between her and Yun Shangyue to the public, he was refuted by Rong Jing with just a few words, leaving him speechless. His thin lips were tightly pursed, his eyes dimly staring at Rong Jing.

  Yun Qian Yue didn't expect that the predicament created by Ye Tian Yi would be turned around by Rong Jing with just a few words, and she felt a mix of relief and a subtle pain in her heart as Ye Tian Yi's hand tightened around hers. The pain seemed to transmit directly from his palm into her heart, reminding her of how Xiao Qi had grabbed her hand so tightly that it hurt many years ago when they were both selected for the Security Bureau. At that time, she was too overwhelmed with joy to feel much pain, but today's pain made her almost unbearable. Because of the pain, she became even more aware that he wasn't Xiao Qi.

  She stared at Ye Tianyi, suddenly gritted her teeth, and locked her internal energy into her wrist. All the internal energy in her body rushed to her wrist, and in an instant, she broke free from Ye Tianyi's tight grip. She reached out to grab Yun Jing's jade pendant. She truly liked Yun Jing, and their request for a royal marriage was sincere. Naturally, she couldn't let him take the fall alone! Let him become a laughing stock!

  Some things must be cut off, when they are not cut off, they will bring chaos!

  Ye Tianyi's wrist went numb from the force of Yun Shangyue's internal energy explosion, causing him to release her hand. He withdrew his gaze from Jing and looked at her, seeing her reach into her bosom. His eyes suddenly narrowed as he transmitted a secret message: "Yue'er, don't push me!"

  Clouds were shallow and the moon was in her hand, when she didn't hear, continued to take out the jade pendant. That piece of jade pendant that was snatched from Rong Jing's body, if it wasn't for knowing earlier that sachets, kerchiefs, and jade pendants are often used as tokens of affection between men and women, she would have known by now after such a long time. She liked this piece of jade pendant, never said to take it out and return it to Rong Jing, and didn't plan to return it in the future either!

  "Moon, don't force me! You're just suffering from amnesia now! I only ask for fairness. But you can't use your amnesia as an excuse to not even give me that. If so, then don't force me to do something that even I will regret. Today is one case. If you still refuse to understand tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and every day thereafter, I will do one thing each day until you come back to your senses." Ye Tianyi looked at Yun Qianyue, still using his voice transmission technique, his voice clearly entering Yun Qianyue's ears.

  Yun Shallow Moon still seemed to be unaware of it, what she feared the least was threats! Threats were useless for someone as cold-blooded and heartless as her!

  "All these years, you've been pretending to be perfect for me, doing so many things that you've forgotten, but I haven't. You ended the drought in the north by opening up the mountains and rivers, solved the disaster of five years ago with your cleverness, turned tens of thousands of acres of barren land into fertile soil through terracing, irrigation, and development. How many assassins sent by my brother, the crown prince, did you take care of for me? And so on... Don't force me to say it all out loud. If I do, Father will definitely not let you leave the Tian family again. Maybe he'll even arrange a marriage for us right away!" Ye Tianyi looked at Yun Shangyue with a gentle tone, speaking slowly and deliberately.

  Yun Qian's hand suddenly stopped, and she looked up at Ye Tianyi.

  "Are you going to completely erase me from your memory just because of a lost memory? Not even if there's a chance to recover it? Are you prepared to seal away all the memories we've shared for the rest of our lives and make everything that happened between us non-existent? Can't you be fairer to me?

  Yè Tiān Yì met Cloud Shallow Moon's gaze, his mouth curving into a faintly painful smile. "I don't want to be heartless towards you, but you've been too heartless towards me! Not leaving me even the slightest chance! All these years I've understood you too well, if I didn't force your hand, would you have just continued on with Jiǎng Shì Zǐ like this? Until your grand wedding, when there wouldn't be any room for me in your heart or eyes?"

  The shallow clouds suddenly turn around without looking back at the night sky.

  "Let me tell you, I won't be able to do it! Not only can't I do it now, but also in the future!" Ye Tianyi's voice was slightly cold. "I can give up everything, even if I leave Beijing immediately and return to Beijiang never to come back to Tian Sheng City again. But for you, I won't let go of you!"

  "What do you want then?" Yun Qian Yue suddenly withdrew her hand holding the jade pendant and looked at Ye Tian Yi.

  "I only ask you to be fair to me." Ye Tianyi looked at Yun Shangyue, "If Jing Shizi can get your liking, it's because you lost your memory. If I were back in the capital earlier, you would certainly..."

  "I promise you, don't say anything else!" Yun Qianyue interrupted Ye Tianyi's words, saying word by word: "Restore my memory!"

  Ye Tianyi suddenly stopped talking.

  Yun Qian Yue didn't look at him again and walked towards Rong Jing.

  He's right, if he hadn't pushed her this far today, she would have made up her mind to never regain her memories for the rest of her life. Let bygones be bygones. But fate had other plans. Ye Tianyi was too entangled with her, understood her too well - her cold-bloodedness, her icy demeanor, and her heart of stone. As long as she herself was fine, she could dismiss all past events and people as if they never existed. Now, if he were to reveal the shocking truth about what happened in Beijiang and attribute it to her, the old emperor might just decide to arrange a marriage between her and Ye Tianyi on the spot, and that would be utterly disastrous!

  Opening up the mountains and rivers, terracing fields, irrigation, these are not methods that ancient people could have thought of. The productive forces of this world were not yet so advanced! So, she didn't doubt Night Sky's words at all, those were things she had helped Night Sky do before.

  So she could only agree with him! No other choice!

  The two of them spoke in hushed tones, and the crowd couldn't hear a thing. They only saw Yun Shang and Ye Faye gazing at each other for half a moment before turning to leave without saying another word. Rong Jing hadn't glanced their way even once since their conversation earlier. The crowd looked towards the old emperor, thinking that the engagement between Jing Shi Zi and Yun Shang had been like a thunderclap, shocking everyone's hearts yesterday. Today, the Seventh Prince was like an additional heavy blow on top of the thunderclap, leaving people even more shocked and amazed.

  The old emperor's gaze searched among the three, his deep eyes gleaming with a sharp light that couldn't be concealed. Seeing Yun Shang Yue walk towards Rong Jing, he looked at Ye Tian Yi and smiled: "After all, Moon is just a young girl, her face is thin, your matters can be discussed later. First, let's prioritize giving acupuncture to the Young Master of Cold Palace. Tian Yi, since Rong needs Moon's blood for the acupuncture, you can't help with this, so come out with me!"

  "Yes, Your Majesty!" Night Sky nodded.

  "Xiao Liu is also coming out!" The old emperor glanced at Sixth Princess and walked out of the palace gate.

  The sixth princess looked at Rong Jing, hesitated for a moment, and then walked out.

  Ye Tianyi glanced at Yun Qianyue and walked out with pursed lips.

  After the three of them left, Emperor Xiaojing and a group of imperial physicians from the Taiyi Hospital also hastily followed suit. In no time at all, only Rong Jing, Yun Shangyue, and the unconscious Leng Shaoyu were left in the inner palace.

  Yun Shangyue walked to Rong Jing's front and stood still, not saying a word, and handed her hand over to him. Rong Jing didn't even glance at Yun Shangyue, wiped all the golden needles clean, and then pinched one of them towards his own finger.

  The cloud was shallow and the moon was shocked, immediately reaching out to stop his hand, "Didn't you say use my blood? What are you doing?"

  Rong Jing didn't lift his head, nor did he look at Yun Qian Yue, his voice and expression calm, "Let go!"

  Yun Shallow Moon held his hand still, pursing her lips as she looked at him. Was today's situation her fault for not recovering his memories, thus being controlled by Ye Tianyi? Or was it her fault for seeing Ye Tianyi and thinking of Xia Qi, getting caught up in the moment and letting him announce their relationship to everyone? Or was it her fault for not speaking out loudly against him at the time, even if she couldn't beat Ye Tianyi, she should have tried to open his eyes? But why did he get entangled with Sixth Princess and couldn't come quickly? Could one Sixth Princess really hold him back for so long?

  "Let go!" Rong Jing's voice was low and husky.

  Clouds shallow moon does not let go of hands, lip petals pursed extremely tightly.

  "I told you to let go, didn't you hear me?" Rong Jing's voice turned a few degrees colder.

  Clouds are shallow and the moon does not speak, the embroidery thread is motionless.

  Rong Jing suddenly put down the needle, and with one hand, he pulled Yun Shang Yue's body into his arms, lowering his head to stare at her intensely. After a moment, he leaned in, his lips heavily falling onto hers, kissing her.

  Yun Shallow Moon smelled the familiar scent of snow and lotus, clean and clear. It had only been a short time since she last sensed it, but it felt like an eternity. After what she just went through, her heart was as if it had been tormented by fierce flames ten times over. Now, she was finally back in the warm spring water, washing away the suffocating air that had built up inside her. Her tightly pursed lips relaxed, and her body softened, motionless, as she endured the kiss from Rong Jing.

  She knew he was furious!

  He is right to be angry! And has every right to be angry!

  She is also angry!

  But at night, Tian Yi... She couldn't bring herself to hurt him, even if she wanted to, not when he spoke softly and gently to her. It wasn't just because he resembled Xiao Qi; it seemed that deep down, she just couldn't bear to lay a hand on him.

  Rong Jing suddenly let go of her, looking at him with a gloomy gaze, her voice low and cold, "What did you promise him?"

  Yun's lips pursed slightly as she said in a low voice, "Be fair to him!"

  Rong Jing pushed her away, "Get out now!"

  Yun Shallow Moon was pushed to stumble, barely standing firm, looking at Rong Jing. Rong Jing had already stopped looking at her, picked up the needle again and pricked his own fingers. She was just about to step forward when he coldly said: "Get out!"

  Yun Shallow Moon's footsteps came to a halt as she saw him inserting over ten golden needles into his hand in an instant, her lips pursed as she stood still on the spot.

  "Get out!" Rong Jing said again.

  Yun Shallow Moon suddenly rose a wave of annoyance in her heart, turned around and walked away.

  Rong Jing listened to Yun Qian Yue's footsteps walking out the door, suddenly closed his eyes, and after a moment, more than a dozen golden needles in his hand turned blood red. He only opened his eyes, pulled out more than a dozen golden needles from his hand, and lightly waved his hand, stabbing them into various acupoints on Leng Shao Zhuo's body.

  Yun Shallow Moon walked out of the door, and the sunlight shone straight at her. She closed her eyes for a moment, unaccustomed to it.

  "Yue Yaotou, how did you come out so quickly?" The old emperor saw Yun Shangyue coming out and asked her in a loud voice.

  "He said I'm no longer needed!" Yun Shangyue glanced at the old emperor, not saying that she was never useful to begin with. Rong Jing had all the needles stuck in his own hand, it would be strange if he could use her.

  "Yun Shallow Moon, since you've been corresponding with Seventh Brother for several years, what right do you have to flirt with Dui Jing Shi Zi? Isn't this...?" Sixth Princess saw Yun Shallow Moon come out, her beautiful eyes glaring at her, "You...you shameless!"

  Yun Shang looked at the Sixth Princess, who was standing beside the old emperor. The gauze on her forehead was thinner now, and as the sunlight shone on it, the faint scar on her forehead became visible. She narrowed her eyes, looking at the scar, and leaned lazily against the door frame. "Sixth Princess, is your forehead's scar not deep enough? Do you want me to add two more?"

  The Sixth Princess's body shook with rage, "Hasn't this princess settled accounts with you yet? What right do you have to hit me?"

  "Look at your insolent mouth!" Yun Shangyue gazed at Liu Gongzhu, saying nonchalantly: "Today, Empress Leng's mouth was begging to be slapped, and I took the liberty of teaching her a lesson on behalf of the Emperor. I merely gave her one slap, and two scars appeared on her face, with a tooth knocked out. Can your face withstand more than Empress Leng's?"

  The Sixth Princess's face changed, and she involuntarily took a step back. In an instant, she remembered the Emperor was beside her, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes. "Father, Yun Shang Yue beat me yesterday without saying anything, and today he actually hit Your Majesty's Imperial Concubine! He is simply lawless and doesn't put you in his eyes at all. Look at him, seducing Seventh Brother, and also seducing Jing Shi Zi... She is so shameless, it's simply...".

  "Sixth Sister, stop speaking nonsense!" Ye Tianyi frowned and interrupted Sixth Princess's words.

  "Seventh Brother, am I wrong? Are you still protecting her? Look at what she's done! What I'm saying is the truth!" The Sixth Princess looked at Ye Tianyi, "Everyone knows that for years she's been chasing after the Crown Prince, and during that time, she was also exchanging letters with you. When the Crown Prince didn't want her, she seduced Jing Shizi, and it doesn't stop there - she also had dealings with Xiao Wangye, the Southern Liang Crown Prince, and even Fourth Brother..."

  "Sixth Princess, you might as well say that I'm very capable and can entice all the men in the world!" Yun Shangyue coldly laughed.

  "Yun Shallow Moon, are you going to seduce all the men in the world? You really have no shame!" The Sixth Princess glared at Yun Shallow Moon angrily.

  "Am I supposed to seduce every man in the world just to get in your way, Sixth Princess?" Yun Shangyue raised an eyebrow. As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly realized, "Oh, right, I'm in the way because you like Rong Jing! You don't want to lose face, but I do? What's the difference between you running to the Rong Wang Fu every day and me? Don't laugh at others for taking fifty steps when you can't even see your own shortcomings!"

  "You..." The Sixth Princess suddenly became speechless and looked at the old emperor, "Father, look at her..."

  "Sixth Princess, your Seventh Brother is right. Don't spout nonsense. Now that all the ministers are present, you and Yuelou aren't even afraid of being laughed at for fighting!" The old emperor rebuked the Sixth Princess with one sentence, then asked in a deep voice, "I'm asking you, what business do you have with stopping Jing Shizi?"

  The Sixth Princess did not expect that the Old Emperor would not punish Yun Shangyue. She lowered her head and replied in a low voice, "Nothing!"

  "Nothing's wrong?" The old emperor looked at Sixth Princess, his voice sinking, "Tell me the truth!"

  The Sixth Princess's body trembled slightly, and she pursed her lips, saying: "I don't believe in the imperial physicians, I want Young Master Jing to treat my head wound."

  "Is it just for this matter?" The old emperor was clearly incredulous.

  "It is, just for this matter!" The Sixth Princess nodded.

  "Has Jing Shizi agreed?" The old emperor looked at the Sixth Princess and glanced inside the Imperial Hospital.

  The sixth princess's lips were tightly pursed, and she suddenly looked up and glanced around the hall, nodded slightly, and said in a very small voice, "Agreed!"

  "Hmm, Jing Shizi has a wonderful hand for healing. Your scars will definitely not fall off." The old emperor nodded and ignored the Sixth Princess, looking at Ye Tianyi, "Tianyi, tell me, what's going on with you and Yuelao exchanging letters all these years?"

  The night sky hears words looking towards the shallow moon clouds.

  Yun Qian Yue didn't seem to have heard, lazily leaning against the door frame with her eyes closed. At this point, she thought he could still account for something to the old emperor!

  "Your Majesty, you know that my mansion is located on the west side of Yunwang Mansion. When I was young, I often played with Yuer together. After Empress Dowager passed away, I went to Beijiang alone, and it was cold and bitter there. I had no one to rely on, and none of my brothers and sisters in the capital took care of me. Only Yuer wrote letters to comfort and encourage me every time, and also sent people to bring clothes and other necessities with each letter. If not for her, I would have been disheartened long ago, and there wouldn't be these military achievements that I worked hard to establish over the years!" Ye Tianyi replied respectfully.

  "Oh? Moon doesn't even recognize big characters, yet can write letters?" The old emperor looked at Ye Tianyi.

  "Those letters are not written words, but painted word-pictures." Ye Tianyi glanced at Yun Qianyue and shook his head.

  "Calligraphy and painting? You have them on you, take them out and let me see!" The old emperor also took a look at Yun Shangyue.

  "My son only brought one with him, the others are all in Beijiang!" Ye Tianyi reached into his bosom and pulled out a letter, handing it to the old emperor.

  Yun Shallow Moon opened her eyes and looked at the letter. The envelope was extremely old, but the paper was very good, it was high-quality Xuan paper. Moreover, there were no creases or folds on it, one could tell that it had been well-preserved at first glance.

  The old emperor took over the envelope, pulled out the letter inside, and saw that as the letter was pulled out, a dried-up Camellia flower also fell out. The Camellia flower had long been withered, but it was still well preserved. He picked up the Camellia flower and looked at it for a moment, then asked Ye Tianyi with a smile, "How is there still a flower?"

  "Back to the Emperor, this was when I first arrived in Beijiang, there were no hawthorns in Beijiang. It was during the time when the hawthorn flowers were blooming in the capital city. Yue'er cut a branch of hawthorn and sent it with a letter to me. That's how I saw the hawthorn!" Ye Tianyi said.

  The old emperor nodded, put down the begonia flower and looked at the letter paper. There were seven or eight sheets of letter paper, he flipped through them and looked at Ye Tianyi in confusion, "What are these drawings? Can you understand?"

  "Returning to the Emperor, I understand what you mean!" Night Sky nodded.

  "Come, you tell me, I'll listen too, and see what Moon Yatou has said to you." The old emperor handed the letter to Ye Tianyi, but did not give him that branch of begonia.

  Ye Tian Yi took the letter paper, glanced at Yun Shang Yue, saw her looking at him, and smiled warmly at her. He lowered his head to look at the letter paper, his face soft with a smile: "The first drawing on this letter paper is a wall, it's the wall that connects the Cloud King's mansion and my own residence. The little bird perched on the grass, the small insect lying on the wall, is Moon herself. She's telling me, when I'm gone, she's bored alone."

  "So it was!" The old emperor nodded.

  "These two paintings on the letter paper depict two little bugs fighting, one little bug trying to mediate, but unable to do so. The little bug got angry and beat up both of the fighting bugs. One of the two little bugs said was Fourth Brother, because the little bug's tail had four strands of grass.

  Night Sky Yi looked at Night Sky Yu, who had his eyes wide open, and continued with a smile: "The other little bug said was Cold Young Master Wang, who is currently lying in the hospital being treated by Jing Shi. Because the little bug's tail had a snowflake drawn on it, and the bug that beat them up had a small grass in its mouth. This was a habit Moon had since childhood, but now it seems to have changed.

  Father Emperor, you know about this. In the past, because she would always hold onto a blade of grass, you scolded her many times, but she wouldn't change. Later on, you also stopped saying anything!"

  "Uh-huh, yes, she's had this habit since childhood. But it's only been a few months since she changed." The old emperor nodded with a smile.

  "This third piece of paper says that Cold Little Prince was beaten, Filial King didn't take it anymore and ran to report to you. You punished her by making her kneel outside the palace, but she lay on the ground looking at the stars, and eventually fell asleep while watching them, only to catch a cold and fall seriously ill for several days, unconscious and scaring Cloud Old Prince half to death. He rushed to Filial King's residence and beat him up.

  Night Sky looked at Cloud Shallow Moon with a smile and saw that she was listening intently, so he continued, "Cloud Old Prince has always been a black-faced grandfather in Month's heart, often either beating or scolding her, so this big bug's head is black.
