Looking up, he saw that a new moon was quietly hanging on the branches. The silvery moonlight reflected off the branches, making them sparkle with raindrops. The romantic beauty of the night made him stand up and walk towards the window.

"Ruo Ruo, don't come over. Sit back. Quickly eat. I'll bring you to a place after you finish eating." As if she had heard the sound of Ruo Ruo's footsteps, Xi Men Rui Xue laughed excitedly, "When I first entered, I felt that the rain was going to stop. Haha, it must be a sunny day tomorrow. I can finally leave the palace."

Hearing Xi Men Rui Xue's words, Ruo Rui finally understood that he was taking her to the Liu Manor. This, he did not feel excited, he just went there. Cui Er said that she should not blow too much wind, but rather, she emphasized on nourishing her body, "Your majesty, can you really get out of there in a while?"

"That's fine, I've already asked Imperial Physician Zhang. He said that the only reason you're weak is because of your illness two days ago. Otherwise, you can go out after being a Xiao Yuanzi for seven days."

"Really?" If it was true, then wouldn't she be able to walk around the capital of Xi Jin to climb the mountains after leaving the palace?

"Seriously, when did I ever lie to you?"

Hearing that Xi Men Rui Xue had said that if it wasn't because of her excitement, she could have left. Ruo Ruo had already returned the favor. He had lied to her countless times already, and this man always had the ability to fool her.

"I want to go to the theatre."

"Alright."

"I want to go to the most famous restaurant in the capital for a good meal."

"No matter how famous they are, they can't compare to the food in This Emperor's imperial kitchen." He protested slightly.

"That's not the same. The things in this palace are too exquisite, causing everything to lose their original taste. They don't taste good at all."

"Hmm, that makes sense. Where else do you want to go?"

"Your Majesty, I want to ride a horse."

"No, Imperial Physician Zhang said you can't do strenuous exercise yet." However, if his pulse was stable, he could do that kind of 'exercise' for two people, but he couldn't be too violent. When he thought of how Imperial Physician Zhang had said all these, a calculating look surfaced on Xi Men Rui Xue's face.

Then, he definitely had to get her pregnant. As long as he could trap Qin Zhiruo with the child, she would obediently stay in the palace.

A woman could hold her life with either a man or a child, but right now, he only temporarily didn't want her to leave. As for how long he would keep her here, he didn't know.

"Alright, then I won't ride it." It was a little regretful, but when she thought about how she could leave the palace for a few days, Ruo Ruo felt happy in her heart. Suddenly, she thought of a very realistic question, "Xi Men Rui Xue, if you come with me, then you don't need to bring Yun Ru and Xi along, otherwise, Ruo Ruo would go alone."

Xi Men Ruoxue had already returned to the dining table. She picked up her chopsticks and ate while saying, "You're still saying that you're not jealous? You're clearly eating Yun Ruxi's vinegar."

"I just don't like her. She schemed against me so many times, and almost got called out by the beggar …"

"Didn't I already disguise myself as a beggar to prevent her from getting away with it?"

"Isn't that the same? You've already gotten married to me, and in the end, you've still schemed against my body."

"Heh, I don't feel like I've schemed against you. You were the one who did it willingly."

"You …" Remembering the bowl of love medicine she drank, Ruo Ruo almost choked on her food.

She stretched her hand out and patted her back as if she was trying to please her. "Look, you can choke just eating a meal. Stop talking. After eating, I really want to bring you to a good place."

Since she could not say it together, then she would not say it anymore. In just three to five minutes, she had finished eating a bowl of rice, leaving only the dishes on the table. She did not even eat a few mouthfuls, but when she put down the chopsticks, she continued to eat at a leisurely pace.

Ruo Ruo became anxious. She had been feeling depressed for too long, so she simply grabbed his bowl. "Xi Men Rui Xue, if you're any slower, then let me feed you."

"Sure." He opened his mouth without the slightest bit of embarrassment, impolitely waiting for her to feed him.

Ruo Ruo scooped a spoonful of rice and brought it to his lips. She took a big bite out of it. "Eat quickly, be good." As if she was coaxing a child, she almost didn't say 'good child'. Actually, she wanted to say it, but she was afraid that if she laughed her way out of it, it would be more than worth it.

"Hey, I'm the emperor, how can you say that?" Although she wasn't completely finished, her tone made it sound as if she was coaxing a child.

"Your Majesty, if you say that there's no outsiders, Ruo Ruo can call you anything." The implication was that anything could be done.

After two mouthfuls, Xi Men Rui Xue surprisingly did not get angry. Looking at her smiling face and the grease on her lips, he surprisingly bent down and stole a incense on Ruo'er's face. "Ruo'er, you're not angry anymore, right?"

"Who said that?" She was still angry. Thinking back to last night, she had been waiting for him for an entire night.

"Alright, I was wrong. This way, I won't be angry, okay?" The reason he had thought of all sorts of ways to make Cui Er happy was because he wanted to coax her. Thus, at this moment, he made a face and said, "Qin Zhiruo, give me a smile."

Looking at the way his index and middle fingers were raised above his head, it was obvious that he was an ox. That comical look made her laugh uncontrollably.

Although she still felt a little awkward after eating, it was now inconvenient for her to flare up. The dignified emperor had already apologized to her, so what else could she do?

Thinking about his indulgence towards her, she didn't know if it was because of the Flame Token, but, if he could do this, she was truly impeccable. After all, in the next few days, they had to leave the palace, not caring about Yun Ru Xi, it would be best if they waited for her to return from the palace. That woman would already be dead, and if he really didn't like Yun Ru Xi at all.

Some hated it.

"Let's go." After eating, Xi Men Rui Xue carried her into the inner room, "Zhiruo, you're too heavy."

"I just ate." She giggled. The atmosphere between the two of them had become much more relaxed due to his previous efforts.

"Well, that's about the weight of the rice." Smiling mischievously, he placed her on the ground, then found a blanket and wrapped it around her body. He wrapped it tightly, "Endure it, we'll be there in a moment. Zhen wants to get there quickly, but didn't want you to blow it."

"Alright." In his heart, he started to wonder where he had gone to. He really didn't know what sort of secrets he had.

While carrying her, Xi Men Rui flew out of the window at an angle. The wind was blowing beside her ears, but it had been weakened a bit by the blanket.

The outside air was so fresh that it seemed as if water could drip onto it.

It was a quiet night after the rain, and she could feel that even though she couldn't see anything, she could feel him brushing past the tall wall several times. It seemed like he had left the Lotus Fragrance Pavilion, then the Jing Yang Palace, and then the rest of the palace.

She caught a whiff of the fragrance of the flowers, which was so light and elegant that she liked it very much.

She really wanted the blanket to be taken away. She wanted to see the strange world around her.

As if she had heard her thoughts, Xi Men Rui Xue gently placed her on the ground. Then, she casually pulled off the blanket she was wearing and said, "Zhiruo, look at how beautiful this place is."

Opening my eyes, I saw clusters of chrysanthemums under the weak silver moonlight. The color of the chrysanthemums was white, yellow, purple, and green, orange and pink. There was even a pale green chrysanthemum that I had never seen before.

This was the season when the chrysanthemums were in full bloom. The rain was still falling on the petals, and the crystalline droplets were indescribably beautiful. Just watching them silently made one feel relaxed and happy. Unexpectedly, one did not want to move a single step.

As expected, Xi Men Rui Xue was brought to a good place.

She didn't speak for a long time. She really didn't want to leave. She wanted to stand in the corridor and look at the chrysanthemum before her and smell the fragrance of it. She didn't want to leave again.

After a long while, the quiet Xi Men Ruo walked behind her and wrapped her arms around her waist. "Ruo Ruo, do you want to know who planted these chrysanthemums?"

Even with him around her, her soul seemed to have flown out of her control. His magnetic voice hypnotized her, causing her to unconsciously let down her guard. "A-Rui, who is it?" It was a kind and gentle call, but she didn't even feel it herself.

"It's your mother." He whispered softly into her ear, and the sound of his breath made her shiver in response to his words.

Mother, it turned out to be mother. She lifted her head to search the deserted palace. The pavilion had three words dancing and dancing in the wind: Wishing Pavilion.

But mother, when I was alive, I absolutely did not wish it. If it was ruyi, I would not have been killed by the late emperor, but if it was ruyi, I would not have abandoned her.

Just thinking about it caused her tears to circle around her eyes. "This is my mother's sleeping quarters?"

"Yes."

"Ray, I want to walk around my mother's room." Her body struggled, but she couldn't break free from his embrace. However, she really wanted to know everything about her mother. Also, who was her father?

"Ruo Ruo, this way."

Holding hands, he purposely linked his fingers with hers. It was as if the two boys and girls in the modern world didn't care about their worldly views, as long as the two of them could be together.

He pushed open a door and stepped over a tall threshold. The faint moisture from the rain drifted in with them into the room, and everything in the room was spotless. Even the vase on the cabinet had a pink chrysanthemum stuck in it.
