In his dream, he returned to the desolate battlefield in autumn. His mouth was dry and his lips were cracked. Blood would seep out if he exerted a little force. He drew his sword and looked around. The sun was blazing overhead. The dazzling sunlight made it impossible for him to open his eyes. He pursed his lips and continued to walk forward. Suddenly, a woman in strange clothes appeared in front of him. She looked around in panic and ran in the sharp weeds, cutting her clothes and the skin underneath.

He wanted to call her loudly, but no matter how hard he tried, his hoarse throat could not make a sound. At this time, a general on a tall horse on the opposite side drew an arrow from his back and followed the woman's trail. Ziheng held the sword tightly in his hand and ran towards her desperately, finally arriving before the arrow hit her heart.

He watched the arrow flying towards his forehead, but the sword in his hand suddenly felt as heavy as a thousand pounds and he couldn't lift it no matter what. He was powerless to do anything.

The next second, Ziheng woke up from his sleep, sat up and frantically looked for Wan Ning. But the clothes scattered on the ground had been picked up and folded beside the bed. There was no trace of Wan Ning, nor any sign that she had been there.

"Master, are you awake?"

Ziheng looked towards the direction of the voice and saw Lisong cleaning up the messy room. The bath tub from last night had been taken away and the flowers blooming in the corner had been removed.

Perhaps seeing the disappointment in Ziheng's eyes, Lisong took the initiative to explain: "The princess said she had something else to do, so she left first, and told me to clean up the room. If the master has other arrangements, I won't clean it first?"

Ziheng withdrew his gaze and shook his head, regretting that he had not been able to see Wan Ning this morning. He ordered, "Just follow the princess's orders." He was thinking about speeding up the process so that Wan Ning could stand by his side as soon as possible.

Soon he got up and dressed. The servants were making the bed. Ziheng glanced at them and said, "No need to make the bed. Go down."

"Yes!"

At this time, Li Song suddenly received a message, and hurriedly dropped his things and went forward to report: "Master, the weapon workshop collapsed, and all the weapons and masters that had been produced were buried inside.

The situation was critical. Ziheng didn't bother to look for Wan Ning first. He picked up his sword and rode his horse towards the weapons shop.

However, Wan Ning had already returned to the palace on her own, with a heavy heart, and went over everything that had happened since she came here in her mind. When she reached the fork in the road leading to Xiang Wanxuan and Yuxi Palace, Wan Ning looked around, not knowing where to go. After hesitating for a long time, she decided to go see Mu Xiu again.

The Yuxi Palace, which used to be peaceful and quiet, was now filled with cicadas chirping in the woods, making people feel upset. Yin Zhu was busy in the courtyard on weekdays, but it was strange that he was nowhere to be found today. Wan Ning walked casually, relying on fate. If she could meet Mu Xiu, she would tell him the truth, but if not, she would just let it go.

Walking to the inner courtyard, she watched from afar as Mu Xiu's study was closed. Wan Ning muttered to herself, "What's wrong? There's no one in Yuxi Palace today?"

Full of doubts, Wan Ning walked forward quickly. When she got closer, she heard a woman's bright and cheerful laughter coming from the room.

"There are few visitors to Yuxi Palace. Who is this woman?" Wan Ning was very curious and moved closer to eavesdrop on the conversation inside.

All I heard was that woman speaking coquettishly, "I heard that the princess of Chu country is naturally beautiful and charming. It's not unfair for you to marry her, right?"

"Beauty of a country? Humph, that's just a rumor. It's far inferior to your face." The voice sounded similar to Mu Xiu's, so Wan Ning listened with even more curiosity.

The woman spoke in a coquettish tone, as gentle as water, and seemed very satisfied with the answer: "You are so sweet-talking, and I just fall for it. When you were away, I missed you every day."

Then the sound of kissing was heard from inside, and the interest of watching the show instantly occupied Wan Ning's mind. She wanted to see clearly who dared to have a secret meeting in broad daylight in this palace, so she pricked up her ears and paid closer attention.

"He likes you so much and sticks to you, how could he bear to let you come here?" It seemed like Mu Xiu's voice said.

"I have been married for many years and have given birth to Ren'er. It is time for me to come back to visit my parents. Besides, I promised to visit Princess Mengzhu for him. Humph, there is no reason to refuse for the sake of his daughter. Isn't this a good thing? I can come to see you too. You have lost weight." said the woman.

"There's a big show to watch!" Wan Ning's eyes widened immediately, and she found a well-hidden place, poked a hole in the window and peeked inside. What was originally a listening book was now immediately upgraded to a visual.

Now she saw clearly that the man was Mu Xiu, who was standing in the direction of Wan Ning, facing a slender woman. But her back was facing Wan Ning, so when she saw her face clearly, she could only see that she was holding Mu Xiu's face with one hand.

Mu Xiu pushed her hand away and said in a reproachful tone: "I have lost weight. I have to thank the medicine you gave me."

The woman was not annoyed. She took her hand out and took the initiative to play with Mu Xiu's fingers. She asked coquettishly, "Oh, Prince Mu Xiu, are you blaming me? After all, the farther the kite flies, the more uncertain I feel. I can only think of ways to tie you down. It's a pity for this face. It's better to be fatter. I wonder if it affects other aspects?"

Mu Xiu tactfully put his arm around her waist, and with a little effort, he pulled her into his arms, staring at her face with a smirk, "What aspect?"

Without waiting for the woman to answer, he grabbed her waist and lifted her up to sit on the table, playing with her hair, neck, earlobes... and asked, "You'll know if you try it."

It seemed that the two of them had a very close relationship. The woman's fingertips wandered across his forehead, and she promised lovingly, "When you complete your mission one day, I will naturally give you the antidote, as long as you are obedient. How did you complete the mission with me last time?"

"Princess Le Yan has great trust in me, and everything is going well."

Mu Xiu smiled but said nothing. The two of them were so bold as to entangle in the harem. At this time, the woman suddenly turned around. Wan Ning looked carefully. The woman's open clothes revealed the light blue butterfly tattoos on her shoulders and collarbones. They swayed with the ups and downs of her body, as if they were also fluttering their wings.

"Fei... Fei Yu?" Wan Ning's emotions, which had finally calmed down, were aroused again by this erotic and exciting scene, like a bolt from the blue.

Butterfly, butterfly again!

But Mu Xiu, who traveled through time with Wan Ning, was the only person Wan Ning trusted unconditionally in this world, and he must have known that the tattoo on Fei Yu's body was very similar to the one she saw when she traveled through time. But Mu Xiu said nothing, and even concealed everything and calculated himself.

Wan Ning left this place in a daze and returned to Xiang Wanxuan. Wan Tao was taking care of the fruits in the yard, Zhu Ying was sitting aside embroidering, Shui Yue and Zhu Zi were still arguing, and the whole place was peaceful.

"Princess, you're back." When Zhu Ying saw Wan Ning coming back, she immediately put down her needlework and said, "Princess, I made a new dish in the kitchen. It's simmering on the stove. I'll get it for you."

Everything seemed to be the same as usual. Wan Ning glanced down at the needle and thread on the table and called Zhu Ying in a daze.

"Zhu Ying, do you have a cousin who works as a gardener in Prince Qi's mansion? What's his name?"

Zhu Ying didn't understand what was going on. She slowly turned around and looked at Wan Ning, then answered:

"Zhang... Zhang Minghui."
