Outside the window, the rain was heavy and the roof was clattering.

Yun Shengyue suddenly woke up and felt somewhat anxious. She opened her eyes slightly and felt somewhat vexed. She should not have been greedy for the sweet soup at night. She had drank an extra bowl.

As he turned his head to the side and saw Murong Yu sleeping on the side with his body covered in a tight shield, he became even more anxious. He had to get off the bed to get over him. After enduring for a while longer and seeing that he didn't move, he carefully got up and crawled towards the end of the bed.

He finally managed to step over Murong Yu's foot. Fortunately, the light wasn't extinguished and although it was hazy, it wasn't completely dark. After walking to the corner of the room, he hesitated for a bit and then lifted his skirt to ease himself. He went back to the window and saw the strong wind outside. The black willow trees were swaying in the wind and the wind looked scary through the window, so he had no choice but to walk back to the bed.

She gently got up from the end of the bed and wanted to quietly walk over, just like before. Suddenly, a white light flashed in the room as thunder roared loudly, causing Sheng Yue to fall onto Murong Yu in fright. She awkwardly propped up her body, feeling warm under her hands, and realized that she was actually supporting between his legs.

This time, he pounced forward and even his cherry lips landed on Murong Yu's face. Under the pressure from Yun Shengyue's predicament, he was at a loss on what to do. Before he could even react, Murong Yu had already pressed her down against the blanket.

Murong Yu's breathing quickened. The fiery male aura made Yun Shengyue's entire body feel like it was on fire. This series of events had happened too fast. She had actually forgotten to push him away in that instant.

"Are you trying to seduce me?" Murong Yu's voice was low and quiet. Not waiting for Yun Shengyue to react, his slightly open red lips had already been blocked.

Murong Yu's kiss was intense and fanatical, and he completely ignored it, wrapping her petite body in his hot and wet mouth. His tongue also quickly extended between her slightly parted lips, wrapping around her cute little tongue.

She had kissed Baili Yu before, but it was limited to touching him lightly like a dragonfly touching the water. That was already incomparably embarrassing, she had never thought that men and women could be like this … Intimate, without any gaps.

That soft body of his had a familiar fragrance that caused his entire body to tighten. In an instant, he had already pressed her down, without any time to think. He could only blame his large watery eyes on being too blurry and those slightly parted red lips were too alluring, causing him to involuntarily want to taste her taste.

And that kiss was just too sweet. He could not help but want more. Only when he came to his senses and began struggling did he wake up. What was he doing? Didn't you hate her? Didn't they say that they were going to let her go after they agreed on the conditions? How could he let Jue Er down?

In the past, his mother had always envied these couple the most. They were a couple with a head of white hair, so he only wanted to marry one woman in this life and be good to her in this life. Although he rarely thought of Jue Er when he was not at home, she was his approved wife.

Hearing the soft sobbing of Yun Shengyue, who was curled up against the wall, Murong Yu was inwardly vexed. How did her self-control, which he was so proud of, crumble just like that? Was it because of the thunderstorm? Looking out the window, he suddenly wished that the rain did not stop …

The heavens had their own way. The next day was unexpectedly a sunny day.

When Yun Sheng woke up in the morning, he discovered that he liked to kick off half of his blanket and cover it tightly. Naturally, Murong Yu had already disappeared.

When she thought back to what happened in the middle of the night, she felt like she was in a dream. Perhaps it really was just a dream, but even though Murong Yu was cold, he didn't seem like someone who would take advantage of her. She gently caressed her lips, not knowing what to feel. This was not a dream, why was he so passionate? He had never experienced such a heart-wrenching sensation before, how could he do such a thing?

Sigh! Was it his fault? Did he think she was throwing herself into his arms because she had run into him first and then fell onto him? That was why he had cheated on her? Yun Sheng's face instantly turned pale. He did not even realize that Cui'er had entered.

"Miss, do you want to get up? It's already late... "

Ah!" "Alright, get up." She pushed back her quilt to get out of bed.

Just as she raised her head, Cui'er cried out in alarm: "Miss, why are your eyes swollen? Did the Prince bully you? How can your highness be like this? "

"Lower your voice, what are you shouting for!" She walked over to the bronze mirror and looked. Her eyes were indeed slightly swollen, which was what would happen in the evening if she cried. "Prepare two tea bags for me to soak in cold water," she said sullenly.

After washing up, he used a tea bag to cover himself for a while and put on some makeup. Finally, he let out a sigh of relief. If he didn't go out soon, it would be difficult for him to do so.

It was a good thing that the empress had said there was no need to pay her respects today, otherwise sleeping until now wouldn't be an excuse. After eating some food, Cui Er followed Ruo Lan to do some needlework. She walked around the courtyard by herself.

Although Hua Qing Palace was quiet, the place was not small at all. After walking around, he saw a small pond, some of the water lilies from last year were dark gray, there were no new leaves on them, and some of the red and yellow fish were swimming back and forth, sometimes slowly. Occasionally, they would rush to the surface of the water and waddle around with their tails flapping.

There wasn't much difference between a person and a fish. What did she want? In the past, she had been very happy to be by her mother's and Baili Yu's side. As long as her mother and Baili Yu were happy, she would do anything. However, now that Baili Yu had broken his promise and no longer lived together with her mother, she was on her own.

Whether it was the Imperial Palace, the Mansion or the Duke's Mansion, they were all cages to her. She was working hard to get out of here, but after thinking about it, she must have lost her mother when she walked out. Baili Yu might not want to see her again, so what should she do then?

She always wanted to see Baili Yu again, but she did not dare to think about whether he had the same thoughts. She also did not dare to think about many things that happened in the past. She could not think about it, could not think about anything.

Sitting next to the pond, leaning on the fake mountain, Yun Shengyue stared at the book in her hands for a long time. In fact, she could not even read a single word. She suddenly felt like she was lost.

It was late at night. Murong Yu didn't return to his room and didn't know where he slept.

It was finally the day of the Crown Prince's birthday. He could feel the festive atmosphere early in the morning. The palace was decorated with lanterns as if it were the New Year's Day. Ruo Lan said that she had been transferred to the Imperial Palace to serve him, otherwise, she would be very busy.

She had wanted to give something to the crown prince, but she had given up on that embarrassing situation. She could only hope that she could make it through tonight as soon as possible, so she believed that once she returned to the Royal Mansion, Murong Yu would hide as far away as possible. She did not need to worry about seeing him.

After another boring day, Yu Lan began to dress up once again. When Cui'er saw how carefully Ruo Lan had dressed up for Yun Sheng Yue, she was filled with admiration. Although she was skilled, she did not have as much experience as Ruo Lan.

"Ruo Lan, I'm leaving the palace tomorrow. Are you willing to come with me to the prince's mansion?" On the surface, she was always working for the imperial concubine, but by her side, there was only Cui'er. Furthermore, Cui'er was innocent, so it was impossible for her to be bullied by others in the prince's mansion.

Ruo Lan was stunned for a moment before saying softly, "This servant cannot decide."

"Of course, we've only been together for a few days, yet I feel that I've been quite on good terms with you. However, I just don't know what your thoughts are. If you are willing, I'll go ask my mother. If you are unwilling, I'll treat it as though I've never mentioned it." Although she needed help, she didn't force the request. If she hadn't sensed that Ruo Lan was trying to protect her in the past few days, she wouldn't have made such a request. After all, she was someone from the empress dowager's palace.

Before Ruo Lan replied, Cui'er was already worried, "Big Sister Ruo Lan, just agree. Young Miss is fine, although our palace is not as big as the palace, it's still not bad. If Big Sister is willing to come, Cui'er will have a companion."

Ruo Lan looked at her and smiled at Sheng Yue. "If esteemed empress permits, Ruo Lan is naturally willing to serve esteemed wangfei." She had seen Cui Er's beauty in the eyes of her brother, which made her envious of him. The palace was complicated, and if she was not careful, she would not have been able to get away safely. Although the Duke of Qin was not as beautiful as the crown prince, he still had the manliness, and he was not a frivolous person, so the Mansion was indeed a good place to go. Thanks to the high regard of the wangfei, if she thought about it carefully, being able to follow such a master must be much simpler and happier.

However, their thoughts were all too good. If Yun Sheng knew that he would implicate Rulan in the future, she would definitely not bring her back to the manor in joy.

"Are you ready?" The three of them chatted casually and just as they finished packing up, Murong Yu walked in.

He was dressed in a royal blue brocade robe. He was tall and handsome with a concise body and only had a jasper tied around his waist. He still looked extraordinary. Yun Shengyue only took a glance but did not dare to look at him or even look at his face. She did not know what his expression was.

The two of them quietly went to the Imperial Feast Hall. There were sounds of bamboo and people moving around, and it was very lively. The princes and officials were all carrying their wives and daughters. They were all smiling brightly, as if they were born on their own.

There were quite a few people who came over to greet Murong Yu. Their expressions were respectful, and some of them even seemed to be laughing, but Sheng Yue vaguely felt that although there were a lot of people, they were also divided into different camps. The Duanmu Family's camp had the majority of people gathered, and Yun Shengyue saw her father.
