Chapter 8: Furious Kiss Me Gently

ion!" The Empress seemed livid, her expression showing disappointment in Li Yun’s behavior, she bellowed.As soon as the Empress spoke, Li Yun distinctly felt the air within the pavilion instantly ligh...Chapter 8: A Furious Kiss on Gentle Lips

Upon realizing this, Yun Qianyue took the leaf and turned to go back into her room. Just as she took a step forward, something felt off about it. She looked down at what was in her hand and noticed that because of light refraction, the rough paper envelope had changed colors suddenly. She paused for a moment, then held the paper envelope away from the light, causing its color to revert back to normal. Her eyes showed confusion as she experimented several times by holding it under the refracted light again, only to see the same change in color happen once more. After a few trials, her confusion turned into realization. She picked up the paper and walked towards the basin of water inside her room.

Reaching the basin, Yun Qianyue threw the paper envelope into it. As soon as the paper touched water, it wrinkled and opened to reveal a golden leaf inside with neat writing on it that read: "I will be returning to the capital shortly."

The handwriting was elegant and flowing, heavy where needed and light when necessary, though it didn’t show any of its flamboyance. All it conveyed was an air of restraint and calmness. However, a deep ink trace could be seen at the end of the character “京” (capital). It seemed that the writer had paused for quite some time after finishing this character, causing excess ink to seep into the paper without ruining its beauty.

Yun Qianyue stared at these words in silence before praising them inwardly. This calligraphy was no less than Rong Jing's penmanship and hinted at how much effort the writer had put into honing their skills over the years to reach such a level of mastery.

Who could this person be

The only certainty was that it must be a man. Even with her ten years of practice, she couldn’t achieve such restrained and calm handwriting.

This person must have been deeply connected to the body's original owner. In fact, perhaps even more than Rong Feng. Though she hadn't seen this individual, their correspondence method and the meticulousness shown in the letter made her certain of it.

Returning shortly

Does that mean she would soon find out who this person was

Yun Qianyue pondered over these words on the golden leaf. She realized that more secrets about this body were surfacing, leaving her overwhelmed. Firstly, her reputation as a useless and uncultured person didn't match the reality of this body's circumstances; then there was her decade-long infatuation with Ye Tianqiong, all acts of madness driven by love were actually acts of patience and disguise; followed by Rong Feng discovering she had brain blockage causing amnesia but confirming that she was still herself, unique and irreplaceable. This left her doubting whether it was right to believe that taking this body was just a temporary borrowing...

Yun Qianyue felt the familiar headache coming on again. She closed her eyes and held her forehead with one hand. The confusion was overwhelming. When would she emerge from these clouds of uncertainty Perhaps if she could clear that blockage in her brain and regain this body's memory, everything might become clear...

"Returning shortly Using a golden leaf as correspondence, quite original!" A familiar voice suddenly rang out behind her.

Yun Qianyue was startled, opening her eyes wide. She turned around to see Rong Jing had entered the room without her noticing and was now standing right behind her. His usual calm eyes were slightly mocking as they looked at her. Yun Qianyue frowned, somewhat annoyed, "Didn't you leave I thought you wouldn't set foot in this place again. Why are you here now"

Especially without making a sound and catching sight of the letter she held...

Rong Jing's eyes darkened at her words, his normally calm gaze turning misty with darkness. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Yun Qianyue, "So you hope I never come here"

Yun Qianyue glared back, not answering but showing no approval either.

"But I came anyway and even caught you with this letter. Does that make you upset If you had known I was coming earlier, would you have hidden it" Rong Jing took a step closer to her, his voice so soft she could barely hear him despite its heavy tone, "However, you were too careless; distracted by the letter and didn’t notice my arrival. What now Should I be killed for that

Yun Qianyue involuntarily took a step back in anger, "What nonsense are you talking How could I have any private matters"

"No private matters Not likely!" Rong Jing moved closer to Yun Qianyue's irritated face. "In the northern borderlands, there’s a saying about love letters written on willow leaves. Could it be that your leaf isn’t from there The capital certainly doesn't produce such fresh willow leaves."

Yun Qianyue was stunned for a moment, unable to refute him as she had no idea of the willow leaf courting custom.

"Let me guess who this person is. Who has made your mind wander and daydream Who has you pretending in front of Ye Tianqiong for ten years causing his disdain Don’t tell me it’s Rong Feng," he came closer again, lifting an eyebrow, darkening the look in his eyes.

Yun Qianyue stepped back but her back hit the wall behind her. Feeling a chill, she became angry, "Mind your own business! My affairs don’t concern you. If I have private matters with someone else, what is it to you None of your business, right Didn't you say my attitude towards you lowered your status Then leave quickly and stay away from me."

Rong Jing followed her step closer, squinting his eyes into slits. "Say that again! Say I have nothing to do with you!"

"We have nothing to do with each other by default! What’s the point of repeating it Get away from me and stop messing around in my place!" Yun Qianyue felt suffocating pressure enveloping her, making it hard for her to breathe. She tried to push Rong Jing away to distance herself.

Rong Jing suddenly grabbed her uninjured arm and pinned it against the wall, leaning his own hand against the wall as well, trapping Yun Qianyue between him and the wall with black eyes devoid of any other color.

This posture was all too familiar to Yun Qianyue; she had seen it in TV shows, movies, and even in real life. Yet she never thought it would be her turn to experience it. She glared at Rong Jing, trying to suppress her panic as she said angrily, "What are you doing Stay away from me..."

"Didn't you just say there’s nothing between us" he lowered his head and brought his face close to hers in a low voice, "Do you need help remembering our previous relationship

When Yun Qianyue's face turned pale, her heart instantly rose to her throat. She disregarded the injury on her arm and reached out to hit Rong Jing.

"If you don't want this arm of yours to be truly crippled, then stop moving around recklessly. Since I can heal it, I can also cripple it for you. The person you're so obsessed with must have enough money to send a message on golden leaves; therefore, they should be able to support you." Rong Jing easily held onto Yun Qianyue's other hand and said solemnly.

"Are you crazy" Both of Yun Qianyue’s arms were pinned against the wall. She glared angrily at Rong Jing.

Rong Jing looked at Yun Qianyue with a gaze that was heavy and unchanging, just like that.

Yun Qianyue felt uneasy under Rong Jing's stare and turned her face away to avoid his eyes.

"I'm not crazy; I've already gone mad!" Rong Jing spoke in a very low voice. Suddenly, he leaned down and followed Yun Qianyue as she turned her head, pressing his lips onto hers firmly and decisively without leaving any room for retreat.

Yun Qianyue was startled. The cool sensation from his lips hit her heart immediately, causing it to tremble fiercely. She tried hard to struggle free with both hands but was held tightly by Rong Jing who didn't budge an inch. When she attempted to turn away, he pressed her face and when she kicked out her leg, he quickly pinned her down. After a series of movements, she could no longer move any part of her body. She glared angrily at Rong Jing with clenched lips.

Rong Jing closed his eyes without looking at Yun Qianyue and bit her lip forcefully.

Yun Qianyue felt pain and her tightly pursed lips slackened, allowing Rong Jing to take the opportunity and enter.

This kiss was like a sudden storm, akin to an eruption of a volcano and a burst of lava, followed by wild horses galloping. It differed from the previous brief kiss they shared on their way back to the capital after leaving Lingtai Temple or that day when he gently held her lips in Drunken Fragrance Pavilion. This passionate kiss had a taste of madness and fury, like a typhoon sweeping over, instantly shattering Yun Qianyue's soul into pieces.

Every thought and disordered idea was thrown out the window, reason and anger crumbled, her mind floated aimlessly, her heart followed suit, breath ceased abruptly, and all sensory perception lost its function.

Yun Qianyue felt she could no longer breathe, perhaps suffocating to death.

This madness was too much for her to bear, causing her body to tremble violently from the inside out.

Rong Jing did not stop despite Yun Qianyue's violent shivers. His icy and delicate breath engulfed every part of her lips, each place carrying a taste of fury and bone-eroding passion.

Yun Qianyue’s head started to spin; instead of softening, her body became more rigid amidst the tremors.

Rong Jing seemed oblivious.

After an unknown period, a voice suddenly broke through the fog in Yun Qianyue's mind and floated gently: "If I recover in ten years, how about we climb to the top of Tian Shan Mountain to see the snow I buried a jar of Spirit Mushrooms Drunkenness there!"

“Where did you bury it Can you tell me first” Another voice similarly drifted over.

"I won't tell you!” The earlier voice said again.

"What if you don’t recover Wouldn’t the Spirit Mushrooms Drunkenness be wasted"

The later voice asked again.

“It can’t be wasted, I’ll drink it with you in the next life.” The earlier voice suddenly dimmed.

"I don't believe there's a next life, so you better recover within ten years! Otherwise, I'll dig up Tian Shan Mountain and find that jar of Spirit Mushrooms Drunkenness to drink it myself. When the true next life comes around, you won’t have any left..." The later voice also dimmed.

Yun Qianyue wanted to hear more but those two voices seemed to suddenly drift away again from somewhere far off and then vanished back into nowhere. She was momentarily stunned, unsure why such a conversation had abruptly occurred in her mind.

"I really have gone mad, putting my heart out for you to trample on mercilessly. Now that I'm like this...so intimate with you...are you still thinking about your personal affairs Are you still going to say it has nothing to do with me Not a shred of connection" Rong Jing suddenly let go of Yun Qianyue, looked at her coldly with his eyes open and said, "Fine. If that's what you want, I'll stay far from you from now on. Let’s pretend we don't know each other."

Yun Qianyue immediately came to her senses.

Rong Jing opened his eyes, no longer looking at Yun Qianyue; he released her and stepped out of the room.

Stunned, Yun Qianyue watched as Rong Jing left. The man who used to be composed in her eyes—“a gentleman unparalleled”—now carried a cold demeanor. The previously unhurried and graceful figure that remained calm even when faced with Mount Tai’s collapse was now leaving hurriedly. The face that was usually like poetry and painting, warm and amiable, today showed an uncommonly dark and furious expression...

If I recover in ten years, how about we climb to the top of Tian Shan Mountain to see the snow I buried a jar of Spirit Mushrooms Drunkenness there!

I will be well after ten years...

Medicinal Mushroom Wine...

Someone once told her that he had buried a jar of Medicinal Mushroom Wine on Sky Snow Mountain...

Just as Rong Jing was about to step out of the room, Yun Qianyue suddenly chased after him as if she had just woken up from a long dream. In three strides, she caught onto the back of his sleeve with such force that it tore off a piece of cloth when he pulled away.

The tearing sound was exceptionally clear in the silent room.

Rong Jing paused for a moment but did not turn around as he continued walking forward.

Yun Qianyue was alarmed, her hand hesitated momentarily before she immediately reached out again to grab his arm tightly.

"What are you doing Don't tell me that Miss Yun Qianyue likes playing these kinds of tug-of-war games. If someone misunderstands us, even I, the Prince, won’t be able to clear my name." Rong Jing turned around and looked coldly at Yun Qianyue.

Yun Qianyue tightly pursed her lips; she could feel a slight numbness and pain. This sensation stimulated her brain and heart; she had lost all sense of reason long ago. She looked into Rong Jing’s cold eyes and opened her mouth but didn’t say anything.

Rong Jing glanced at the golden leaf still held tightly in Yun Qianyue's hand, then sneered and used his other hand to pry open her fingers. He turned his head toward outside and said, "Let go!"

Yun Qianyue firmly clung onto Rong Jing’s arm; even with the force he was using to pry it away, she still wouldn’t let go. She opened her mouth again and this time managed to speak in a hoarse whisper, “You kissed me, so you’re just going to leave like this”

Rong Jing paused for a moment, then scoffed, "I’ve kissed you before too, but you still insisted that we have no connection at all. So what if I kiss you again now Do I need to take responsibility"

Yun Qianyue trembled and pressed her lips together tightly. Looking at Rong Jing's scoffing face, she said fiercely, "I want you to take responsibility!"

The mockery on Rong Jing’s face abruptly disappeared; he suddenly turned his head to look at Yun Qianyue.

Yun Qianyue stared at him intently. There was a hint of stubbornness, anger, and an indescribable emotion mixed with determination in her eyes.

"What kind of responsibility do you want me to take" Rong Jing asked; his voice suddenly became softer than Yun Qianyue’s.

"Responsibility... Responsibility..." Yun Qianyue lowered her head, suddenly let go and shouted, "I don’t know what kind of responsibility I’m asking for! But you can't just kiss me and leave!"

The black in Rong Jing's eyes gradually faded away as he looked at Yun Qianyue without speaking.

"I'm hurting!" Yun Qianyue lowered her head again, murmuring angrily: "Are you a dog How can you bite me"

Rong Jing’s gaze fell upon Yun Qianyue's lips; he saw that she had bitten the corner of her lip and blood was seeping out. His eyes flickered but he still remained silent, as if in deep thought.

"You’d better leave quickly! I don’t want you to take responsibility anymore." After talking to herself for a while, Yun Qianyue suddenly became angry again.

Rong Jing suddenly turned around and shut the door with one hand, then pulled Yun Qianyue into his arms with the other. Yun Qianyue raised her head abruptly; he lowered his lips again, murmuring softly: "I want to make you hurt more, what should I do"

Yun Qianyue made a sound of protest as Rong Jing’s lips fell back onto hers accurately once more. Unlike the previous rough kiss, this time it was light and delicate; his tongue gently licked her lip corner like spring breeze or gentle rain, soothing the dryness left from before. The coldness and harshness gradually dissipated, leaving a warm feeling that made her feel as if she were immersed in a hot spring bath, comforting her soul.

In this warmth, Yun Qianyue began to lose herself again; the golden leaf slipped out of her hand and dropped on the ground without making a sound. This couldn’t bring her back to reality at all.

Rong Jing heard the faint sound and suddenly tightened his grip; Yun Qianyue let out a soft moan, then he loosened slightly but deepened the kiss with his tongue exploring further, tenderly caressing her in a loving embrace that was both gentle and passionate.

Yun Qianyue’s mind went blank as she gradually softened against Rong Jing. Her heart fluttered wildly; this tenderness made her just as unable to bear it as the earlier storm of passion. She felt suffocated by his intoxicating presence, her breath became rapid and labored, thinking that if he continued like this she would die from lack of oxygen. She began pushing Rong Jing away with both hands: "Rong... Jing... Move away... I’m going to die..."

Rong Jing still kept a slight distance from Yun Qianyue’s lips; he opened his eyes and looked at her, as if there was a burning flame in his gaze.

Yun Qianyue gasped for breath heavily, as if she had just come back to life. While breathing hard, she complained: "Are you trying to kill me Come on... give it all to me... I don’t want to die like this...

"I just wanted you to die like this..." Rong Jing suddenly kissed her again.

Yun Qianyue tried to avoid him, but it was too late; she was kissed again. She glared at him, but her beautiful eyes held a hint of spring, and even her angry glare didn't seem intimidating. On the contrary, her gaze became even more alluring, which made Rong Jing's heart race even faster as he continued to kiss her crimson lips...

The temperature inside the room suddenly rose, creating a warm atmosphere as if three rivers had melted.

Outside in Yun Shallow Moon Pavilion, it was eerily silent, as if no one was there.

Just when Yun Qianyue felt she would suffocate again, Rong Jing finally let go of her. This time, Yun Qianyue couldn't speak and only had rapid panting sounds. Rong Jing also panted heavily; their breathing merged into one. After a moment, just as Yun Qianyue was about to push him away, Rong Jing suddenly reached out and pressed her head against his chest, in a hoarse voice asking, "Listen, what do you hear"

Yun Qianyue clearly felt the rapid heartbeat at Rong Jing's chest. She snorted and deliberately said, "I didn't hear anything!"

"Are you sure" Rong Jing looked down at the person in his arms with a warm gaze.

“Mm!” Yun Qianyue snorted again.

“If you don’t say what I asked, then I’ll kiss you again.” Rong Jing’s voice became even more hoarse.

Yun Qianyue trembled slightly and said in a mix of shame and anger, “Are you addicted or something”

Rong Jing suddenly chuckled softly. He looked at her as she lifted her head with displeasure. His arm tightened around her, leaving no space between them, and he spoke carefully word by word to her, "Yes, I am addicted. What can be done about it"

Yun Qianyue's originally half-red face turned completely red; she felt as if her face was on fire and dared not meet his gaze. Had she ever experienced such a romantic scene in any of her lifetimes She snorted and mumbled, "How should I know what to do Just stay away from me!"

"I won’t leave you!" Rong Jing held Yun Qianyue tightly without moving, feeling her soft body.

Yun Qianyue rolled her eyes and suddenly asked, "Rong Jing, don't you like..."

"Miss, Gonggong Lu from the palace is here to deliver an imperial decree. Miss needs to go to the palace immediately!" Suddenly a hurried voice interrupted Yun Shallow Moon Pavilion.

Yun Qianyue swallowed back her words and frowned slightly.

"Tell him that you accidentally injured your arm again, making it worse so you can't enter the palace!" Rong Jing spoke softly.

"Why I am perfectly fine," Yun Qianyue hated going to the palace but sensed from Yun Meng's urgency there must be an emergency.

“Do you think you’re in a condition to go now For instance, your mouth is injured,” Rong Jing reminded her softly.

The moment he mentioned it, Yun Qianyue felt a stinging pain at the corner of her mouth. She glared at him and growled, "It's all because of you! It hurts so much."

“Yes, I did this.” Rong Jing’s heart skipped a beat as he leaned down to kiss Yun Qianyue’s lips lightly again, asking softly, “Do you still think you can go now”

Yun Qianyue was speechless. She couldn’t possibly enter the palace in her current state! Without even looking at herself in a mirror, she knew she looked terrible. She glared at Rong Jing and called out loudly, “What is it”

Although she tried to sound rough, there was still a softness to her voice.

"Miss, Gonggong Lu said that the Southern Frontier’s Princess Ye intends to cremate the corpses of those who assassinated you and Shizizi Rong Jing to carry out an exorcism spell to identify the culprit. However, they need blood from a pure yin girl born in a Yin year, month, day, and hour to track down the person who cast the soul-stealing curse on them. Since Miss is such a girl, the Emperor heard about Princess Ye’s request and sent Gonggong Lu to invite you," Yun Meng said urgently upon reaching the door.

So that's why! Yun Qianyue looked at Rong Jing.

Rong Jing pursed his lips with a slight frown.

"Should I go or not Perhaps I shouldn't... If we don’t eliminate the culprit now, they might use the same tactics against us in the future. We can guard against the first attack but not subsequent ones; it’s still a menace. Especially using such curses to harm others is truly deserving of Hell," Yun Qianyue asked Rong Jing softly.

Rong Jing didn’t speak, seemingly deep in thought.

"Miss Are you going Old servant thinks this kind of sorcery is too sinister. If it harms your body, that won't be good. Furthermore, Miss has been injured and is in her coming-of-age period. If your blood were used as a catalyst, given how weak you've always been, what if you couldn't handle it" Yun Meng said outside the door: "If you don't go, old servant will inform Secretary Lu right away. Will we not pursue those who attacked Miss and Young Noble Jing then There'll be other opportunities in the future."

"Speak up quickly! Am I going or am I not going" Yun Qianyue asked Rongjing again without waiting for him to speak, she whispered: "I'm not that weak. A missed opportunity won't come back. I think..."

"Uncle Meng, go tell Secretary Lu that Miss Qin Yugeng from the Chancellor's House is more suitable than your miss. Your miss was merely born on a dark moon, dark day, and dark hour; she, however, was born in a dark year, month, day, and hour. Her blood is better to use," Rongjing suddenly spoke out loud.

Yun Qianyue froze, Qin Yugeng was born during a dark year, dark month, dark day, and dark hour

"Young Noble Jing" Yun Meng exclaimed in surprise. It seemed he didn't know that Rongjing had also been in Yun Qianyue's room all along; he asked with surprise: "Your Excellency Jing, when did you come"

"I've been here for a while! You should quickly tell Secretary Lu, or he'll be waiting impatiently," Rongjing's voice returned to its usual gentle tone.

"Yes, old servant will go right away!" Yun Meng didn't expect the Miss from the Chancellor’s House was born during dark year, month, day and hour. This time, naturally there would be no need for her. He hurriedly left, much faster than before.

“How did you know Qin Yugeng is a person born in a dark year, dark month, dark day, and dark hour” Yun Qianyue raised an eyebrow at Rongjing when she saw Yun Meng leave.

"The Astronomical Bureau keeps birth records of all officials’ children in the capital. If you want to see them, you'll know too," Rongjing held Yun Qianyue close without releasing her and said while lowering his head toward her.

So that was it! Yun Qianyue nodded, feeling the two were too close together; she reached out to push him away. But he didn't budge an inch. She frowned: "Are you done hugging me"

"Not yet!" Rongjing shook his head.

Yun Qianyue rolled her eyes and reminded him, "You're committing a crime here! This is the behavior of someone who isn't a gentleman. If this gets out, you'll be waiting for your reputation to crumble,"

"Our words have been spread enough already; one more won't make much difference!" Rongjing still didn't move an inch and held Yun Qianyue close. His voice was low and gentle: "What were you about to say earlier That I like something"

“Forget it!” Yun Qianyue said irritably.

"Wasn't it asking if I like you" Rongjing's tone softened even further.

"You could never like me! You only bully me. Let go, it's a hot day and your body is making mine feel hot too!" Yun Qianyue used her elbow to push Rongjing as she planned to back away.

“Yes, I wouldn't possibly like you. I don't like you at all,” Rongjing suddenly let go of her hand.

Yun Qianyue didn’t expect him to actually release her and also hadn't anticipated how soft her body was; she couldn't stand on her own two feet when he released her, causing her to fall softly onto the ground. She cursed quietly, Rongjing immediately reached out again and held her in his arms with a low chuckle accompanying it: “It looks like you still prefer being in my embrace!”

"You bastard!" Yun Qianyue blushed and scolded him; she really felt useless.

Rongjing suddenly bent down to pick her up and headed toward the bedchamber.

“What are you doing I told you, it’s impossible,” Yun Qianyue panicked at heart.

Rongjing halted his steps, looking down at Yun Qianyue while seeing through her panic. He raised an eyebrow slightly, “Oh”

“What's the point of an 'oh' If I say it’s impossible, then it is. Put me down quickly,” Yun Qianyue pushed him with her hand; she didn’t mind if he kissed her but sleeping together was absolutely out of the question. Did he think she was a three-year-old child who understood nothing

"What can't be done" Rongjing held Yun Qianyue without releasing her, his eyes flashing with an unusual expression as he asked with a smile.

“Absolutely everything,” Yun Qianyue's determined gaze left no room for doubt.

"I want to change the medicine on your arm and apply some to your mouth. I want those two wounds to heal sooner. Is that impossible" Rongjing raised an eyebrow.

Yun Qianyue made a sound of discomfort; her face turned red in an instant from what was left of her regained normalcy.

Rongjing chuckled softly once more, his chest shaking as he displayed his extremely pleased mood.

Yun Qianyue wanted to find a crevice in the ground and crawl into it; she dared not look at Rong Jing, and hearing her laughter made her feel even more embarrassed. She suddenly buried her head in his chest, angrily saying, "What are you laughing about I can dress my own wound! As for the injury on my lips, do you think I need your blind kindness"

Rong Jing knew he shouldn't embarrass her too much and stopped laughing at an appropriate time. However, it was hard to contain the smile in his eyes. He took a step forward towards the bed, soothing her softly, "Didn't you want me to take responsibility The injury on your arm is because of me, as is the one on your lip. I'll take full responsibility, okay"

Yun Qianyue thought that this man still had some redeeming qualities. She hummed and blushed saying, "You’re not completely heartless!"

Rong Jing remained silent as he walked to the bedside and gently laid Yun Qianyue down, seating her on the bed. He stood in front of it looking at her; her beautiful face was like a rosy cloud, with subtle hints of spring in her eyes, while her lips were fresh and tender, bearing traces of where she had bitten them. His gaze fixed on the place where she had bitten her lip, remembering that he was the cause of this, his heart and soul stirred. His gaze grew heated and softened.

Yun Qianyue waited for a while but saw no action from Rong Jing, so she lifted her head to look at him; she met his gaze. The man in front of the bed was as beautiful as jade, with a clear face like he had been painted with rouge under the moonlight. She recalled Ye Qian’s words: “Gilt brocade snow-white jade hue, a smile can topple all under heaven.” In her eyes, it wasn’t just that his smile could overturn the world; she felt everything would be dust in comparison to him. Struggling to look away from him, she lowered her head and grumbled, "He’s truly demonic!"

Rong Jing's jade-like fingers lightly covered Yun Qianyue's lips. She let out a hissing sound; he then asked gently, “Is it really painful”

"Nonsense! Try biting yourself to see" Yun Qianyue said bitterly; since childhood she had never been bitten by anyone!

“How about you bite me instead” Rong Jing felt a bit guilty for having used too much strength.

"Dream on!" Yun Qianyue pushed his hand away, and put her arm in front of him. She commanded imperiously, "What are you standing there for Quickly dress my wound. If I’m satisfied with your service, I’ll forgive you; if not..." she hummed.

"Ah, you really…" Rong Jing sighed and shook his head smilingly, seeming a bit helpless but also enjoying her in this state. He turned around and called out to the outside, "Xian Ge, please bring Lady Zhao inside!"

“Yes, Your Highness!” Xian Ge’s voice was filled with joy.

Yun Qianyue’s face once again flushed red as she glared at Rong Jing; “Did you imprison Mother Zhao”

"Do you think I would do such a thing I wish the whole world could see me treating you like this!" Rong Jing glanced at Yun Qianyue. Hearing footsteps approaching from outside, he instructed, "Go and bring in a basin of clean water."

“Yes!” Mother Zhao responded and turned to leave.

Yun Qianyue wondered when her people started listening to Rong Jing’s instructions She had pondered this question many times but could never find an answer. Today was fine, but what about before Back then, even when she detested him and tried to avoid him, he still seemed able to command others as if they were his own servants. She reluctantly admitted that her character wasn’t as good as his and snorted at Rong Jing, “Impudent!”

“I’d be happy for you to keep being so domineering in the future! Would you like it too” Rong Jing looked steadily into Yun Qianyue’s eyes.

Yun Qianyue blinked and stared at him blankly, “Do you want to annex the wealth of the Cloud Prince Manor Then you shouldn’t ask me; instead, go ask my grandfather. If he agrees, then go ask my father, if he agrees, then ask my brother...”

“You are such a woman, not even an ounce of charm!” Rong Jing suddenly covered her mouth with his hand and said somewhat annoyed.

Yun Qianyue couldn’t make any noise but looked at him with a beaming smile in her eyes. She thought that maybe today was her lucky day

"Your Highness Rong, the water is here!" Mother Zhao entered carrying a basin of clean water; she saw Rong Jing and Yun Qianyue sitting closely together and immediately noticed Yun Qianyue’s red swollen lips with an injury. She lowered her head to hide the smile on her face. A wave of relief washed over her, for it seemed that Your Highness and Miss were reconciled. She always thought that Your Highness was the best, so how could he truly be angry at Miss!

"Put it down!" Rong Jing nodded, let go of Yun Qianyue, and bent his head to roll up his sleeves; seeing part of his sleeve, a smile appeared on his face.

Mother Zhao knew that Your Highness didn’t need her help for dressing Miss’ wound and bowed respectfully as she stepped back. At the door, she noticed a gold leaf lying on the floor and hurriedly picked it up, glancing at it but not recognizing the characters; she asked Yun Qianyue, "Miss, where did this gold leaf come from Why is it on the ground It even has writing!"

Rong Jing’s smile vanished instantly as he paused in rolling his sleeve.

Yun Qianyue raised her head and saw that it was the same gold leaf that had driven Rong Jing insane. She glanced at him; seeing that his face no longer wore a smile, she frowned and thought for a moment before saying to Mother Zhao, "Ah, this is what Your Highness dropped carelessly just now; give it back to him."
