Chapter 6 - One of a Kind

e best in all of the capital’s young ladies. Although the Third Young Master has talent, he has been buried and underutilized at Filial Prince’s王府 these past years. Compared to this, it seems about ev...The Sixth Chapter: Uniqueness

At this moment, Yun Qianyue was lying in Rong Feng's arms. The gentle rain and wind hit her face but she felt no chill at all. Although Rong Feng’s skills were superb, he obviously slowed down to avoid her being overwhelmed by the weather. This was a stark contrast to Ye Qian's rough treatment. She couldn’t describe what she was feeling in her heart—gratitude, guilt, confusion, and bewilderment mixed with something dark that bubbled up from deep within.

Rong Feng’s thin lips were slightly pursed as he didn’t speak a word throughout the journey and never glanced at Yun Qianyue. His eyes appeared shrouded in mist; any emotion was hidden beneath it, making it impossible to discern his feelings amidst the fine rain.

After about half an hour, Rong Feng brought Yun Qianyue directly to the Cloud Manor without entering through the main gate but heading straight for the Shanyue Pavilion.

"You know where I live" Yun Qianyue was taken aback. As she spoke, they had already arrived at the entrance of the Shanyue Pavilion, making her feel that her question was redundant.

Rong Feng glanced down at Yun Qianyue without responding and carried her towards her room.

"Miss" Cai Lian and others came out from inside the house, surprised to see Yun Qianyue being brought back by Rong Feng. They stared at him with wide eyes, a strange mix of unfamiliarity and curiosity leaving them momentarily stunned.

"Is Miss injured again" Mama Zhao, who was older, quickly snapped out of her shock and walked over worriedly to inquire.

"No! I just lost my shoes!" Yun Qianyue shook her head.

Mama Zhao sighed in relief and looked at Rong Feng, wanting to say something but stopping herself. She hurriedly stepped forward and lifted the curtain to let Rong Feng carry Yun Qianyue inside.

Rong Feng walked straight ahead without glancing sideways and carried Yun Qianyue directly into her room. He set her down by her bed, turned around silently, and was about to leave.

Yun Qianyue acted faster than she thought; she reached out to grab Rong Feng's sleeve with a somewhat hoarse voice, "Wait!"

Rong Feng paused in his steps and turned back to look at Yun Qianyue.

Yun Qianyue lowered her head slightly, pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly looked up and instructed Mama Zhao and Cai Lian who had followed inside, "He is Rong Feng. You all can leave now."

Mama Zhao clearly guessed it due to the slight resemblance between Rong Feng’s features and Prince Jing, though subtle. The other three—Cai Lian, Ting Xue, Ting Yu—had their mouths wide open in surprise, seemingly unable to comprehend that Miss was returned by Rong Feng instead of being taken away by Princess Ye Xiao. Mama Zhao tugged each of them back one by one; the trio snapped out of it and followed her out.

The door closed behind them, leaving only two people inside.

"Is Mo Li around" Yun Qianyue asked out loud.

"I'm here!" Mo Li responded.

"Guard my room's entrance tightly. From now on, no one is allowed to enter, not even Ye Qingran or Ye Qian," Yun Qianyue instructed Mo Li seriously.

Ye Qingran had just landed in the courtyard right behind Rong Feng and was surprised by her words.

"Understood!" Mo Li glanced at Ye Qingran who had landed and replied respectfully.

Ye Qingran's brows furrowed slightly as he looked inside. Through the gap between window curtains, he saw Yun Qianyue sitting beside the bed with her pale hand grabbing Rong Feng’s sleeve while Rong Feng stood in front of it, a sudden uncomfortable feeling rising within him at the thought that this little miss really did like Rong Feng deeply. He stepped forward towards the door.

"Young Prince Qingran, please stop!" Mo Li sternly spoke to Ye Qingran.

"I'm going back to my room for sleep! Do you want me, a small prince, to sleep in this courtyard" Ye Qingran raised his eyebrow at Mo Li.

Mo Li remembered that the young prince had moved into the Shanyue Pavilion next door. He immediately lowered his head. Ye Qingran coldly snorted and glared at Mo Li before heading towards his own room, walking loudly enough for even those inside to hear clearly.

Rong Feng’s expression remained calm with no discernible emotion on his face.

Yun Qianyue thought that Ye Qingran was sometimes like a child. After hearing the door close next door, she whispered in Rong Feng's ear so only they could hear: "That day when I requested the emperor’s permission for our marriage proposal, I admit my initial motive wasn’t pure—I wanted to test the Emperor’s feelings towards me. You should know that I’m about to come of age soon and this identity brings a lot of trouble which you’re well aware of too. I have to take control of the situation so as not to be at the mercy of the emperor. Especially now, with my martial arts gone, there are fewer things within my control."

"You've lost all your martial arts skills" Rong Feng's calm phoenix-like eyes suddenly changed.

"I've been without my martial arts skills for some time now, but it's not a big deal." Yun Qianyue didn't think much of it and continued to lower her voice: "Although my initial motive wasn't pure, when I petitioned the Emperor for our marriage, I genuinely wanted to marry you. Although there was some impulse involved, I did briefly contemplate before acting on it. Beyond just liking and admiring you, I felt that you were most suitable for me."

The emotion in Rong Feng's suddenly changed phoenix-like eyes welled up.

"At the time, I had hoped he would kick me out so we could marry. I would have treated you well. But things didn't go as I wished. Afterward, when the Emperor left, I regretted my impulsiveness a little. The reason was merely some petty and insignificant argument with someone else, but my original intention hadn’t changed; I still believed that you were best for me, making me genuinely want to marry. However, many things have happened these days, and my state of mind is no longer as it was during the Martial Arts Champion's conference. If given another chance, I don't know if I could make the same choice again! But regarding that day’s decision…"

Rong Feng trembled at her words and abruptly interrupted: "Stop talking! I don’t want to hear anymore."

Yun Qianyue turned her head to look at him, smiling slightly. Her voice was extremely soft as she asked: "Why don't you want to listen"

Rong Feng pursed his lips and didn’t speak, shifting his gaze from Yun Qianyue's face to the window. There was a flicker of bitterness in his eyes.

"What I wanted to tell you is that although today’s me doesn't know if I would have had the same impulsiveness to petition the Emperor for our marriage on that day, until now, I don’t regret my choice from that day. Can you understand" Yun Qianyue looked up at Rong Feng's side profile and raised her eyebrows to ask.

Rong Feng’s body shook but he didn't respond.

"I used you as the stake for gambling against the old Emperor, which wasn’t fair to you. I've always known this, but under those circumstances, I had no choice. All I can say is that if it weren’t for you by my side on that day, I might not have summoned up the courage to petition for our marriage. Maybe it would have been another method. But who knew it was you! Later, because of some things and rumors about Rong Jing, perhaps they hurt you. All I can say is that it wasn’t my intention. My feelings were mixed in as well. Therefore, I won't apologize to you. If I did, it would be an insult to you." Yun Qianyue suddenly let go of his hand and lowered her head. With a somewhat desolate and melancholic tone, she said: "It seems that throughout everything, I never asked for your opinion, which makes me selfish. That day's matter was laughed off by the old Emperor as a joke. If you were troubled because of it, just consider me another joke! Anyway, I’ve caused enough jokes already, so one more doesn’t matter."

Rong Feng suddenly turned his head to look at Yun Qianyue.

Yun Qianyue lowered her head and continued: "Although Wen Ruyan seems bad in my eyes, sometimes good and bad have no boundaries. As long as she's kind to you, it’s fine. At least compared to me—this woman who causes trouble everywhere—she might make you more at ease. If you need to make a decision, don’t worry about me. We didn't originally have any relation; I just dragged you into this mess. You can…"

Before Yun Qianyue finished speaking, Rong Jing’s hand suddenly reached out and covered her mouth.

The words Yun Qianyue had been about to say were swallowed back in, causing her to be startled and look up. She saw Rong Feng looking at her with eyes filled with emotions she couldn’t understand. Suddenly, she recalled their first meeting and the words he said then; a tremor went through her heart. Could it be that Rong Feng truly had some sort of connection with this body If she now said they were unrelated…

"I'm not unrelated to you!" Rong Feng suddenly said.

Yun Qianyue was startled.

"Miss Yun, it seems that great people easily forget things. I thought of countless scenarios about us meeting again on my way back from the Heavenly Snow Mountain to the capital city, but never expected you would treat me like a stranger upon seeing me. Perhaps I really am not worth your effort!" Rong Feng said.

"I… " Yun Qianyue carefully considered his words and suddenly bit her lip: "Recently, I hit my head and don't remember some things. I’ve also forgotten many people and events."

Rong Feng was taken aback.

"If you don’t believe me, there’s no way around it. This matter has always been a secret; even my grandfather and father were kept in the dark because I feared they would worry over it," Yun Qianyue斟酌著道。不是說善意的謊言不算說謊嗎？她不想讓容楓因為這個身體而陷入困境，但她也不能對他坦承自己已不再是原來的雲淺月。對王爺鼓起勇氣一時衝動可以說出口，現在此時此刻她卻說不出口。“怎麼會這樣？你……出什麼事了？”容楓忽然卸下一身雲霧，向雲淺月詢問。

“我也說不清楚。”雲淺月搖頭，“那日我在皇宮醒來後就不記得一些事！”

“哪日？”容楓問。

“就是火燒望春樓之後第二日在皇宮。據我的婢女說，清婉公主帶著容鈴蘭、冷疏離等人找我麻煩，被人推了一下，撞到了頭。再醒來就這樣了。”雲淺月儘量用事實說話。

容楓眉頭蹙緊，忽然伸手拉過雲淺月的手給她號脈。

雲淺月坐著不動，也冇有阻止。她如今脈搏正常，看不出什麼的。

容楓似乎極為認真，細細號脈。他臉上看不出什麼情緒，隨著時間加長，雲淺月也不由緊張起來，但依然並未阻止。許久後，容楓抬起頭，對她緩和了語氣低聲道：“你頭部的確有一塊被阻塞的地方。”

“什麼？”雲淺月一驚。

"Have you never taken your own pulse Your medical skills are also..." Rong Feng seemed surprised, and then he suddenly remembered something else: "Do you even forget your own medical skills"

A滔天巨浪霎時掀起了 in Yun Qianyue's heart. She was still shocked by what Rong Feng had said and did not speak.

"It seems like you're right, you have indeed lost some of your memories. And the blocked area is quite large; it looks like the memories you've lost aren't just a little bit as you mentioned, but a lot more. You... I wronged you," Rong Feng apologized softly.

Yun Qianyue's brain could not immediately process this information. Was there really a blockage in her mind How convenient was that She suddenly pushed away Rong Feng's hand and took her own pulse, carefully feeling for anything unusual. After checking back and forth, she still did not feel any different. She looked up at Rong Feng, "How can I not sense it"

"The position and gesture you used to take your pulse are wrong in the first place. Why didn't you use Heavenly Snow..." Rong Feng wanted to say something but suddenly stopped, sighing: "It seems like you really forgot. You even forgot your medical skills. What do you still remember"

What did she remember She remembered nothing; she was not the original owner of this body. Suddenly, she recalled something and immediately said: "Apart from remembering who I am, I only recall reading a lot of books, yes, those books are the same as the thousands in Rong Jing's study..."

"Nothing else" Rong Feng's eyes flickered slightly; he asked softly.

"None!" Yun Qianyue shook her head. She thought that perhaps here was a breakthrough for her to understand this body better.

"You even forgot what happened when you followed Ye Tianqiong these past ten years" Rong Feng inquired again.

"Mm!" Yun Qianyue nodded.

"That's a good thing! Back then, you disliked Ye Tianqiong but had to pretend for him. I guess the events involving him over these ten years are what you remember least willingly. It’s better that you forgot," Rong Feng suddenly smiled; his attitude towards Yun Qianyue was entirely different from before, and he spoke gently: "I will try my best to remove the blockage in your brain, but it might take a long time, so don’t be anxious."

So this body's owner really acted with Ye Tianqiong. Yun Qianyue looked at Rong Feng and softly said: "Can you open up the blocked part of my mind Restore...my memories"

"Although my medical skills aren’t as good as yours, I can still try to see if it’s possible; but I cannot guarantee success. Actually..." Rong Feng wanted to say something but hesitated a bit under Yun Qianyue's questioning gaze and said hoarsely: "Young Master is unmatched in medical skills throughout the world, why didn’t he give you medicine to help regain your memory Could it be that he didn't notice you had lost your memories"

"Young Master" Yun Qianyue raised her eyebrows.

"It’s Jing Young Master!" Rong Feng sighed.

“He...” Yun Qianyue frowned as she thought. She felt a slight headache coming on; she shook her head and said somewhat frustrated: "Apart from you, I never told anyone else. And even if he knows about it, how would that matter He’s not so kind-hearted! The only thing he's good at is bullying me."

Rong Feng lowered his head and fell silent.

Yun Qianyue also remained quiet; this conversation with Rong Feng did not make her feel more relaxed but added to her worries. If there really was a blockage in her mind, what would that mean

"If you can't remember it, don’t force yourself," Rong Feng placed his hand on Yun Qianyue's forehead and gently massaged it for a moment before softly saying: "I just checked and felt that the blockage in your brain isn’t due to an injury, but seems like it’s caused by backlash from powerful inner strength."

Yun Qianyue was once again surprised. "Backlash from inner strength"

"Mm!" Rong Feng nodded, “If you had hit your head and caused swelling, that would lead to blockage. But this isn't the case. It seems like it's due to two powerful strengths pressing against each other causing the blockage. That's why you can’t detect it with normal medical techniques.”

"That’s how it is!" Yun Qianyue recalled when she first arrived and felt the two true essences coexisting in her body, nodding: "On that day I woke up, there were indeed two true essences within my body. Later on, Rong Jing helped me merge them."

"If Young Master could help you merge those two true essences, why didn’t he clear the blockage in your brain" Rong Feng was taken aback.

Yun Qianyue thought about what happened at Lingtai Temple and how she used all her strength to help him unblock his heart meridian; she had no idea that there were other blockages. She said somewhat dejectedly: "Back then I was under the influence of a passion-inducing drug, he didn’t have an antidote so he helped me merge those two true essences for me. He later looked like he was going to collapse from exhaustion; how could he help with anything else"

"So that’s it!" Rong Feng nodded then suddenly released his hand that had been massaging Yun Qianyue and softly said: "He really cares about you, didn’t use himself to detoxify but took the hardest route."

“That's not true! He only feared I would dirty him.” Yun Qianyue snorted in contempt and immediately rebutted.

Rong Feng looked at Yun Qianyue. Seeing her dismissive, cold expression whenever she talked about Rong Jing, he felt a trace of pain deep within his eyes that quickly vanished. He softly said: "Those who are involved are confused; the observers see clearly."

Yun Qianyue was taken aback, looking at Rong Feng in confusion. "What do you mean by 'those involved are often blind to what's right and obvious observers can see clearly'"

"It doesn't matter!" Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on Rong Feng’s face as the clouds dissipated. He lowered his voice and said, "The obstruction in your head is there; I wouldn’t dare act rashly to remove it. If I were to try, my chances of success would only be fifty percent. And if something goes wrong during that process, you might injure yourself. Do you really want to recover your memory"

Yun Qianyue frowned; she needed to think seriously about this matter.

"I believe the Young Master definitely knows there’s an obstruction in your head. Nothing escapes his eyesight. He likely didn’t clear it out of concern that he might cause you harm by doing so," Rong Feng added.

“I don't think he has such good intentions!” Yun Qianyue snorted, not wanting to speak about Rong Jing any further. She asked Rong Feng with interest instead, “Now I’ve forgotten everything. Tell me how you and I are related”

Rong Feng fell silent.

“Hm You can’t say it” Yun Qianyue thought to herself that he couldn't possibly be referring to a romantic relationship

"I am …" Rong Feng paused for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Miss Qianyue! Xuan Ge wishes to speak with you!" At this moment, Xuan Ge’s voice came from outside.

Rong Feng immediately stopped talking. Yun Qianyue frowned and looked out the window; after Nan Lingrui left through it earlier, the curtains had been pulled shut but a small gap remained, allowing her to see Xuan Ge standing at the door. She called out, "What is it"

"My young master has sent me to give you back … your lost shoes!" Xuan Ge’s tone was stiff.

Yun Qianyue widened her eyes in anger. “Why does he suddenly go crazy It's just a pair of shoes! If they're gone, let them be! I don’t want them anymore; throw them away!”

"How can women casually discard embroidered shoes like that Regardless, I have fulfilled my young master’s order by retrieving your shoes. After this, you’re free to dispose of them however you wish." Xuan Ge suddenly reached out, tossing the two pairs of shoes through the window. Then he lightly tapped his foot and left Qianyue Tower.

Yun Qianyue watched as the two pairs of shoes flew straight toward her; her expression darkened but she didn’t move.

Rong Feng immediately reached out to catch the flying shoes. The shoes seemed imbued with Xuan Ge’s inner strength, causing Rong Feng to take an involuntary step back.

"Throw them away!" Yun Qianyue felt that Rong Jing was too hateful. What else could it be but madness He had such a guardian. And Xuan Ge was hateful as well! He must have expected Rong Feng would catch the shoes, so he infused inner strength into them.

"He is right; women’s embroidered shoes can't just be thrown away like that. Perhaps we shouldn’t throw them" Rong Feng gently placed the shoes on the ground and looked at Yun Qianyue with a dark expression on her face.

“Insane!” Yun Qianyue muttered under her breath. Sometimes, she thought Rong Jing was insane!

Rong Feng looked at Yun Qianyue and suddenly chuckled softly.

"You still laugh How can you have such an uncle He’s heartless! Does the Ling王府’s ancestral tomb exude black smoke To give birth to this evil demon." Yun Qianyue glared at Rong Feng.

“Uncle” Rong Feng was stunned.

"Isn’t he your uncle Then what is it" Yun Qianyue looked at Rong Feng. Had Rong Jing lied to her

Rong Feng’s expression briefly showed a strange emotion, but then nodded after a moment. "By bloodline, he is my uncle; however, everyone in the Ling王府 calls him ‘Prince Jing’. No one addresses him by family hierarchy. Even those of his generation who have retired still call him Prince Jing."

"So he really is your uncle! This scoundrel; why aren’t you his uncle" Yun Qianyue snorted. Thankfully, Rong Jing didn’t lie to her; otherwise their conflict would have deepened.

Rong Feng’s lips twitched oddly for a moment before he wisely chose not to answer Yun Qianyue’s question.

"Let's continue," Yun Qianyue also hadn't expected Rong Feng to answer such a stupid question. She only wanted to know what her relationship with him was now.

"Forget it." Suddenly, Rong Feng shook his head.

"But you were just about to say all of this. Why did you suddenly change your mind" Yun Qianyue was thoroughly annoyed with Xuan Ge; she arrived at precisely the moment Rong Feng was about to speak.

"It's not bad that you've lost your memory now. There are some things I don't want to remember, and you probably also wouldn't want to recall them either. Let's just forget everything. You only need to know that we were once inseparable for a period of time. I treated you as someone dearer than anyone else. In any case, throughout my life, I will never do anything to harm you."

Yun Qianyue blinked her eyes and looked at Rong Feng earnestly.

"Now that I'm back, I'll definitely help you wholeheartedly. You don't need to feel guilty or self-reproachful about what happened during the martial champion competition. No matter what you did to me, I won't blame you for it. Moreover, at the time, you didn't do anything wrong either. What you said was right; if not me, then someone else would have acted similarly. Therefore, I prefer it to be me. My voice is low, but my tone sincere as I look at Yun Qianyue earnestly: 'From now on, whoever you like, I'll like too. Whoever you dislike, I'll dislike too.'

"You..." Yun Qianyue was somewhat shocked; it wasn't because of his words themselves, but rather the profound feelings behind them that moved her so deeply. She suddenly felt ashamed for pretending to have amnesia. She turned away and said abruptly: "Do you think I might be someone else's doppelganger If I don't know who I am, maybe I'm not the person you knew before!"

"Impossible!" Rong Feng firmly stated.

"Why is that impossible" Yun Qianyue was surprised by his decisiveness.

"How could you possibly not be yourself You are the most unique and unparalleled individual I've ever seen. No one else can take your place. As long as it's you, there's no way for me to make a mistake in recognizing you." Rong Feng shook his head, very resolute.

Yun Qianyue stared at Rong Feng blankly; some thought flashed through her mind but she failed to grasp it before it faded away.

Rong Feng looked at Yun Qianyue with a pained expression and said softly: "Don't worry unnecessarily. I'll try my best to clear the obstruction in your brain for you. Even if we can't recover your memory, that's okay as long as you're well now."

Yun Qianyue couldn't help but laugh and nodded her head, saying: "Alright!"

"It’s getting late; I need to return to the residence. Take good care of yourself. The Southern Frontier's Princess Ye is in the capital now. Regardless of whether we can find the murderer or not, this city will likely never be peaceful again. If you have any issues, just call on my guards anytime. You only need to remember that you're always closest to me. To say 'like' is too light… We are family."

"Mm-hmm!" Yun Qianyue nodded her head. Family! That was someone even closer than a friend...

Rong Feng didn't speak further and took a step toward the door to leave.

Yun Qianyue watched him go, feeling warm in her heart. Rong Feng had puzzled and intrigued her at their first meeting; he had won her simple affection during the martial champion competition when she wanted to marry him through old Emperor's influence. Now, on this third encounter, she felt how gentle and caring he was, truly like family. She smiled faintly as a warm feeling spread over her.

"Ouch..." Suddenly, Ye Qian’s pained cry came from the doorway.

Rong Feng had just stepped out of the door but his body was hit back inside by someone.

Yun Qianyue followed the sound to see that Ye Qian seemed to have returned home and rushed into the room, colliding head-on with Rong Feng who was about to leave. Both men took a step back.

"What are you doing suddenly appearing" Ye Qian clutched her head as she pointed an accusing finger at Rong Feng.

Rong Feng glanced indifferently at Ye Qian and didn't reply; he used his light feet technique to leave Yunyue Courtyard.

Ye Qian gawked in astonishment at how Rong Feng left without a word, then turned to look at Yun Qianyue, unable to believe: "He actually ignored me"

Yun Qianyue smiled; it was just that Rong Feng treated her differently.

"Are all the men in Prince Rong’s household so peculiar I can't take it anymore!" Ye Qian stepped into the room, grumbling to Yun Qianyue: "I clearly agreed with him to visit the Purple Bamboo Garden at Lord Shìzǐ's residence. Can you guess what happened then The moment I left your side, he changed his mind and refused me entry. Not even a glimpse of bamboo did I see."

Yun Qianyue put on a serious face and snorted: "He’s just being himself! That's who he is!"

"So it was like that! I told you, the men in Prince Rong’s household all have peculiar temperaments. Just now, Rong Feng was acting similarly too. How can you possibly like him Such a taciturn nature would suffocate a person to death!" Ye Qian walked over without touching anything and kicked off her shoes, then climbed onto Yun Qianyue's bed.

"Rong Feng is much better than that one." Whenever Yun Qianyue thought of Rong Feng, her heart warmed. Regardless of how much the old Prince protected her or how entangled everyone in the household was with her, she never felt this warm and comfortable feeling until now, today when Rong Feng made her feel it.

"I don’t see that!" Ye Qian pouted but suddenly looked at Yun Qianyue with sparkling eyes: "Hey, do you know what amusing thing I witnessed while you were away Do you want to hear about it"

"Then tell me what happened, I want to see how amusing it is." Yun Qianyue raised an eyebrow.

Ye Qian immediately perked up and repeated Wen Ruyan's words from when Yun Qianyue left, describing every expression she made with vivid emotion. As Yun Qianyue listened, she occasionally tugged at the corners of her mouth. After finishing her story, Ye Qian looked at Yun Qianyue as if presenting a treasure and asked, "Isn't this funny"

"Those little spiders you have are quite cute!" Yun Qianyue remained noncommittal.

"Of course they are!" Ye Qian immediately became proud.

"You told them to make her happy. What kind of consequences will that bring" This was what interested Yun Qianyue the most.

Just as Ye Qian wanted to tell her, she suddenly stopped and gave her a mysterious smile, "In two days you'll know!"

Yun Qianyue smiled at Ye Qian's playful look when she was trying to keep it secret. She didn't ask further and nodded, "Alright, then I'll wait and see how this turns out." Seeing that Ye Qian looked very energetic again, Yun Qianyue raised an eyebrow, "You're not even a bit sleepy"

"How can I be sleepy I'm so tired, I want to sleep!" Ye Qian immediately closed her eyes and lost her energy as if she was really tired. She warned Yun Qianyue, "Don't disturb me, this time I'll really go to sleep. When I wake up, you have to take me to Prince Rong's residence. I've figured out that the Viscount Jing only treats you differently. If you don’t take me there, he won’t even let me step inside."

Yun Qianyue snorted, "I'm not that important. Go to sleep quickly!"

Ye Qian pouted and wanted to say something but gave up as she was overcome with drowsiness. She fell asleep very soon. Coming all the way from Southern Frontier and having traveled non-stop to the capital city without proper rest before sightseeing everywhere, her body could no longer take it even after going through all that trouble at Prince Rong’s residence. She quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Yun Qianyue lay down on her bed with a pillow and had no desire to sleep. She carefully recalled what Rong Feng said, especially how certain he was about not being anyone else but her, the one of a kind Yun Qianyue in this world. He made such a clear statement without any hesitation. The situation when she went to Prince Cloud to confess also appeared in her mind; Prince Cloud looked like he wanted to split her apart. She had thought that the old prince was smart and wouldn't point out what wasn’t true even if he knew, but now she began doubting whether her guess was correct or not

Rong Feng’s words made her doubt the certainty of the things she believed in since she came to this world.

Even though two people could look exactly alike, they were still different individuals. If Rong Feng said with such certainty that it couldn’t be anyone else but her from before, then whose soul was currently inside this body

Yun Qianyue’s head began to ache again and the pain was quite strong. She quickly discarded all her messy thoughts and felt better. Whenever she focused on something hard, she would get a headache, which made her believe Rong Feng's words about how blocked her mind was. That blockage contained this body’s memories. Perhaps if she could unlock those memories, she could figure out what had happened!

Yun Qianyue used Rong Feng’s method and gently rubbed her forehead while closing her eyes, not thinking any further. She thought that no matter how anxious she was about anything at the moment, it wouldn't help to rush into things. The only way forward would be to take one step at a time. Luckily, she had talked everything through with Rong Feng today, and now he was backing her up which made her more confident in this world. With that thought, she smiled tiredly before falling asleep.

Outside the courtyard, Cai Lian, Ting Xue, Ting Yu, and others were looking at each other with wide eyes, their thoughts being largely similar. Although they thought Young Master Rong Feng was great, he still couldn't compare to Viscount Jing. They could not understand how Miss Yun Qianyue disliked the viscount but liked Young Master Rong Feng who she had only met twice before. Since they were unable to figure out why this happened and knew that Miss Yun's decisions were independent of them, they all decided to serve her regardless of whom she ended up liking in the future. As night began falling, everyone left.

As darkness covered everything with a veil, the Quiet Moon Pavilion became utterly silent.

This night, Yun Qianyue didn't sleep well and woke up several times during the middle of the night; it was already dawn when she finally fell asleep again.

Ye Qian slept very soundly but since she had been so tired, it was still light outside when she woke up.

Yi Qingran returned to his room next door yesterday and listened closely to the noises in Yun Qianyue's room. He couldn't hear anything after listening for a while because the two of them spoke very quietly. He didn't dare use any internal force to detect their conversation, afraid that Rong Feng would discover him and let Yun Qianyue know about it, which would make him lose face. After Rong Feng left, Yi Qingran pouted and laid down on his bed to sleep. Since he was very tired as well, he naturally had a good sleep too and woke up early with great energy.

First, Yi Qingran practiced martial arts for an hour, then asked Cai Lian to bring water so that he could wash up. After washing, he walked around outside his room but still didn't see any signs of Yun Qianyue’s movement. As dawn was breaking, he couldn’t wait anymore and entered Yun Qianyue's room as usual.

"Young Nobleman, Miss Yun and Princess Ye are still asleep!" Cai Lian hurriedly stopped Yi Qingran, but it was too late because Yi Qingran kicked the door open. Her face turned pale and she tried to block the doorway with her small body, urging him anxiously, "Young Nobleman, please leave quickly! You’re ruining Miss Yun’s and Princess Ye’s reputation."

"What reputation They don’t care about their reputation at all! Move aside! I’ve come in here before!" Yi Qingran immediately saw the two people covered by quilts and sleeping soundly. He thought that if he didn't wake them up, they would probably sleep for eight days straight. Especially Ye Qian who was such a woman. He pushed Cai Lian away and came in quickly but politely refrained from lifting their quilts. Instead, he kicked the bedboard twice loudly and shouted at Ye Qian, "Ye Qian, get up now and go with me to the palace. If you don’t enter the palace today, I’ll take off your clothes and hang you on the city gate."

Yun Qianyue was woken by the noise and broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing Yi Qingran's words.
