The place next to him had long turned ice-cold. Luoluo opened his eyes.

Luoluo bit her lips and slowly sat up. Her entire body was in pain, she raised her head to look around. Chou Yan had already left when the sky just started to brighten a little.

She thought she had only slept for a short while, but looking at the sky outside her bedroom window, it was probably already evening.

"Princess, are you awake?" Suddenly, someone spoke softly outside the curtain.

Luoluo was shocked and immediately recognized that it was the voice of the big palace maid from Chou Yan's quarters.

Luoluo's face flushed red. She lowered his head and looked at her own body under the blanket. Luoluo pursed her lips and wrapped herself in a blanket. She carefully lifted the veil and revealed his head to the palace maid. "What time is it now?"

"To return to the palace maids, it is now the time of day!" The big palace maid lightly laughed, which obviously showed the flush on the Luoluo's face.

"Day?" Luoluo was stunned.

"Princess, said the king, when you wake up, you will ask your servant to bathe you. Can you get out of bed now?" After saying that, the big palace maid suddenly walked forward and opened the canopy. The Luoluo was startled, and hurriedly rolled up the blanket that she was wrapped around.

The palace maid held in the soft laughter at the side of his mouth and pulled at Luoluo's arm. "Princess?"

"Ah?" Luoluo raised her head and looked at her with a red face. Can I just go back to my own mandala and wash it? "

The palace maid frowned. "The king said the princess is not allowed to leave for the time being."

What do you mean you're not allowed to leave? Luoluo was stunned, he looked up at the palace maid and said, "I just want to go back to my own palace to wash …"

Could it be that she was going to stay here, and when she finished bathing, it would definitely be dark again! Who knows what will happen when he comes back?

"Why are you so anxious to return to the mandala?" Suddenly, Chou Yan walked in. His yellow and black mixed together, making him look like a king.

"Chilling!" When Luoluo saw that it was him, she hurriedly jumped off the bed. She was too anxious and almost lost her balance. Luoluo tried to stand firmly before Chou Yan could support her, and retreated a step. She did not want to be too far away from him, nor did she want to be too close to him.

Chou Yan had originally wanted to hold her hand and freeze it in midair, but he turned and looked at the big palace maid: "Yin Zhu, you may leave first."

"Yes, King." The big palace maid named Silky Bamboo bowed politely, turned around and disappeared outside the palace gate.

Luoluo stared at the silky bamboo's back for a long while before she regained her senses after hearing Chou Yan's words.

"I is not Ming Liehan! How many times must I say this before you understand!? " Chou Yan raised his eyebrows and said coldly.

Luoluo, however, looked at Chou Yan in astonishment. Seeing that his eyes did not have any of the colors that Ming Liehan had in her memories, she only felt that he had just met her, and it seemed that his eyes did not have the doting look of Ming Liehan, but only a strong possessiveness … And, new love.

Luoluo frowned, she stepped forward and raised her hand to place it on Chou Yan's chest, then moved it onto his shoulder and opened up Chou Yan's clothes, then looked at the teeth marks on his shoulder. It's true that he is Ming Liehan, but he seems...

Could it be...? QIng Luo was startled, he looked at Chou Yan carefully, could it be that Chou Yan had changed his soul too? Or had he lost his memory?

"One year ago, the Chou Ming Country King suddenly disappeared, and after returning, her attitude changed greatly! "The person who will come back, is that you?" Luoluo looked at him carefully.

Chou Yan frowned, as if he was bored with the topic of the Luoluo. How could she know about him?

"Answer me!" Luoluo bit her lips, raised her hand and grabbed Chou Yan's clothes tightly: "Answer me, right? "Are you the same King Chou who came back a year ago?" If it was, then she was absolutely sure that there was something fishy around here! If nothing happened, she would definitely recognize her!

Chou Yan squinted and suddenly looked down, coldly staring at Luoluo's hands: "Is it a bit inappropriate for the princess to be grabbing onto I's clothes like this?"

Hearing that, Luoluo immediately released her hand, but continued to stare at Chou Yan's face, looking left and right, he was still him.

But in his memories, there was no such thing as her past …

Luoluo suddenly burst out laughing, her laughter was filled with disappointment, laughing till tears flowed down, staring straight at Chou Yan's eyebrows which were knitted even tighter.

He raised his hand and touched the center of Chou Yan's brows gently, "I like to pinch my eyebrows …"

Chou Yan suddenly raised his hand, firmly grabbing onto Luoluo's arm, he glared at her: "It looks like I's punishments are not enough!"

Suddenly, the kiss came like a violent storm.

In the end, he didn't admit it, but in the end, he didn't. Even though she leaned into his embrace and cried from his kiss, he didn't admit it.

The next day.

Luoluo saw the silk bamboo and quickly went forward to pull her.

"If I ask you something, you must tell me the truth!" "Well?"

Silk Bamboo froze for a moment, then nodded. "What is it that the Princess wishes to ask?"

"It is your King …" "Chou Yan!" Luoluo looked at the silk bamboo probingly. "Did he really go missing for a while a year ago?"

"Yes." "Why does the princess ask this?"

Luoluo suddenly pressed down on her hands, telling her to calm down first. "Tell me first, how did Chou Yan get back?"

"It seems …." "The silk bamboo suddenly frowned, as if recalling a memory:" "It seems that after disappearing for half a month, Wang was sent back by someone, anyway, it was a masked man, and then Wang himself returned to the Imperial Palace, but in the two months after he returned, Wang didn't seem to be in a very good condition, and gradually recovered to his normal state!"

"Didn't you say that his temperament changed when he returned?" Luoluo raised her eyebrows.

"It has indeed changed!"

"How?"

"This servant is only a palace maid, and I don't really know what changes the king has made in the court, but his attitude toward others seems to have changed a lot, even if it is still ruthless at times, but he has become more human, unlike the old king, who killed people when he was unhappy, and even tried to harm us palace maids in his own palace." "However, the current Wang seems to have improved a lot!"

"How about this …." The Luoluo was even more sure that Chou Yan was Ming Liehan. He immediately raised his eyes and looked at Si Zhu: "Is there anyone that talks to him often? "Or is there anyone strange around him?"

"I don't know …." Silk Bamboo shrugged. "However, it seems that the King only returned to the palace a year ago. Occasionally, there would appear a black-clothed person in the palace. It seems that that the black-clothed person is rather thin. As long as he comes, the King will not let us enter the palace to serve him …"

"Black clothed?" "Thin?" Luoluo frowned.

"But that man in black hasn't been here in a long time!" Silk Bamboo suddenly said.

"Oh …." "The Luoluo nodded and laughed lightly. She patted the silk bamboo's hands and said," Thank you. "

"The silk bamboo's originally normal face suddenly turned red like the Luoluo just did. She lowered her head and smiled," The princess is the king's current favorite woman, the silk bamboo should speak to the princess endlessly, how could it be worthy of the princess saying thank you? "

Hearing that, Luoluo's face turned red. The two women blushed and laughed out loud, "I want to go back to mandala."

"But the king said …"

Upon hearing the three words "King's Mandate", Luoluo was extremely furious. She clearly knew that Chou Yan was Ming Liehan, but it seemed that she was the only one who knew. The Luoluo puffed up her mouth. Thinking about how Chou Yan almost tired she was in the bathing pool last night, she felt wronged.

She did not like Chou Yan being even more tyrannical than the previous Ming Liehan, but there was nothing she could do, he was her cold.

So this was the other side of him, domineering and insolent.

Thinking about it, Luoluo clenched her teeth, not caring about the "king order" or the "bastard order" anymore, and turned around to leave.

"Ah, princess …"

Silk Bamboo wanted to chase after her, but Luoluo walked away too quickly and looked at her back helplessly …

"Mother!"

The moment Luoluo walked into the mandala, a small figure immediately jumped into her embrace. Luoluo immediately hugged Steamed Bun who suddenly jumped into her embrace, lowered her head, and fiercely kissed his face twice. "My good son, I've missed you to death!"

"Ugh …" Mother, where have you been? Yan Er missed you too! " Steamed Bun pouted his lips, making Luoluo drool.

Xi Er walked over. Seeing that nothing had happened to Luoluo and that she was still alive, he finally relaxed. "Princess, you scared Xi Er to death. I thought something had happened to you!"

"What can happen to your princess?" "I wonder if even the King of Hell is protecting me?" Luoluo smiled proudly, lowered his head and gave Steamed Bun another kiss on the cheek, "Aiya, my good son!"

"Ugh …" "Mother …" The child was still a child after all. After not seeing his mother for two years, he had grown tired of her embrace and refused to leave. His soft arms wrapped around Luoluo's neck as he breathed in the fragrant aroma from her body.

"Eh?" Mother? Why do you have the scent of that Big Uncle on you? " Steamed Bun suddenly asked dumbly.

Xi Er was stunned as she looked at Luoluo.

Luoluo was so frightened that her face turned red. She quickly placed the bun on the ground and glared at him. "Stinky brat, stop spouting nonsense!"

"Oh, Mother also said that Yan Er's nose is sharper than a puppy's! But now that Yan Er smelt it, you actually said that it was nonsense! " Steamed Bun pouted and hugged his arms like a little adult. He turned his head around and ignored his mother.

"Luoluo's face was suddenly filled with distress as she looked at Xi Er and asked," What are you laughing at now? "

"Xi Er is happy for the princess!" "Xi Er laughed lightly," "Princess, since you've let go of me to accept another man, I'm sure you'll be happy again!"

"Who said I'm not happy!" "I've always been very happy, and besides, the chill wasn't real …" Luoluo suddenly covered his mouth.

There was something fishy about this matter. She had to control her mouth and not casually speak of it.

"What happened to the prince?" Xi Er looked at Luoluo's eyes which were rolling back and forth in confusion.

"It's nothing." Luoluo laughed and suddenly let out a long breath, "Ah …" "Although I didn't live in the mandala for long, the air here still made me feel comfortable …"

Xi Er could tell that there was some other meaning behind Luoluo's words, so she did not say anymore and just chuckled, before turning to carry the bun away.

Steamed Bun stood in his original spot and twisted his neck as he looked at Luoluo sideways, "Humph!"

When the Luoluo heard him, she bent down and stared at Steamed Bun, then turned to Xi Er and told him to go back and busy herself before turning around to look at Steamed Bun again, "Stinking brat, what are you going to do?"

"Mother told me a lie and Yan Er hummed to you!"

"Ouch!" Luoluo suddenly let out a helpless sigh and pinched Steamed Bun's face, "My little ancestor, no matter what you smell, you still have to save some face for your mother!"

"What do you mean by face?" Steamed Bun turned around and looked at Luoluo, puzzled.

"Uh …." "My face is …" Luoluo suddenly rubbed her forehead. "You'll understand when you grow up!"

"When that bun grows up, can't he tell me if he smells someone else's scent on his mother?" Steamed Bun pouted.

"Why do you still smell me when you grow up?" You are not allowed to have this love complex! "Smell your wife if you want!" Luoluo rolled her eyes.

"Wife?" Can a daughter-in-law smell it? "Mother, what is a daughter-in-law?"
