“Yuchen, would it be a nuisance to the chancellor’s manor if His Majesty got to know about your feud with the princess?”

His Majesty was overly protective of the princess. There might be a conflict if His Majesty learned about it.

Liu Yuchen frowned and said, “I would willingly accept the punishment if His Majesty punishes me. I don’t want you to be treated unfairly.”

“Yuchen, you treat me so well…” Tan Shuangshuang’s eyes welled up with tears and were filled with emotions. “The love you show me in this life is the best thing that could ever happen to me. But I don’t want you to offend the princess and affect the chancellor’s manor.”

Liu Yuchen’s heart softened. “Why do you always put others before yourself?”

Tan Shuangshuang smiled and lowered her eyes. “It’s because you’re the one I love the most in this life. Besides, the princess was only acting tough just now. She still loves you deep down in her heart. Can’t you see that? I don’t want… the man that I love to go and hurt other women.”

“Aren’t you angry at her for flogging you before?”

“I’m angry.” Tan Shuangshuang smiled sadly and continued, “But, what could I do? Better let bygones be bygones. I believe that she will sincerely wish us well.”

Liu Yuchen kept quiet. He looked in the direction where Feng Ruqing disappeared from his sight.

Was it his illusion? He thought that Feng Ruqing had changed. She was different now.

It seemed that she was no longer infatuated with him now.

***

In the cellar…

Feng Ruqing sneaked into the cellar after dismissing all the people.

She opened the wine jar slowly after picking it up. Suddenly, a pleasant smell crept into the room and made her feel very energetic.

This spirits wine was good for strengthening the body and healing illnesses. This was just the right medicine for Master Nalan.

“I’ll give this spirit herbs to my grandfather. Next time, I’ll give one to my father too.”

The Emperor had been working laboriously in the past few years. It would be beneficial for His Majesty to have either the spirit wine or Divine-Spirit Fruit.

She no longer hesitated when she thought of this. She brought the wine jar out of the cellar.

***

The general’s manor was no longer prosperous and lively after the death of Empress Nalan. It was now serene and quiet.

It was not because the general was no longer favored by the Emperor. The general’s manor was still favored by the emperor. But, they chose to not be in contact with others because they hated to do so.

Now, Feng Ruqing hugged the wine jar close to her chest and stood outside the general’s manor. She took a deep breath and walked up the stairs slowly.

The imperial guards who were guarding the entrance at the general’s manor saw Feng Ruqing from afar. They were soon nervous, their eyes filled with fear.

Why did this villain come again?

But, Feng Ruqing did not walk into the general’s manor right away. She stood at the entrance and smiled at the two imperial guards.

“Could you go and inform my grandfather that I’ve come to visit him?”

The two imperial guards looked at each other blankly.

Inform?

Did they hear it wrongly?

On top of that, this villain princess was smiling at them now. Was the sun rising up from the west now?

“Alright.” One of the imperial guards composed himself and replied quickly, “Princess, please wait here for a while. I’ll go and inform the general and Master Nalan now.”

Then, he glanced at his companion next to him and turned to walk into the manor quickly.
