Look?

What to look at?

Ji Zhen has seriously made a choice between poking out his own eyes and being beheaded tomorrow!

Is Li Muyun crazy? Why is she dressed like this?

Ji Zhen hurriedly tried to push him away, but froze when her hand touched his shoulder.

However, Ji Zhen forgot that she was being held in the arms of Li Muyun, who was only wearing a layer of green gauze. The thin green gauze could not cover anything, let alone block anything.

The boy's warm body temperature penetrated the green gauze and warmed Ji Zhen's stiff body.

"Zhenzhen, you are shaking."

The boy's soft whispers rang in Ji Zhen's ears. He pulled down her stiff hands on his shoulders and placed them on his chest, letting her feel his heartbeat. He used his arms as a cage, imprisoning her in a space that belonged only to him.

The fresh and clean smell of bath beans from Li Muyun's body lingered in Ji Zhen's nose, and the warm touch under her palm almost made her collapse. How could it turn out like this when she was just having a meal?

Is that so? Ah!

"Zhen Zhen?"

Seeing Ji Zhen silent, Li Muyun lowered his head to look at her, and his soft lips brushed her cheek, causing Ji Zhen to tremble. She pushed Li Muyun away, jumped high onto the soft couch, and looked at him defensively.

Upon seeing this, Ji Zhen immediately regretted his decision and felt that his life might be over.

The candlelight in the inner room was not as bright as that in the outer room. When the evening breeze blew, a swaying light was cast on Li Muyun's body, scattering into tiny points of light, outlining the slender body under the green gauze bit by bit, making every detail visible.

"what--"

Ji Zhen couldn't stand it anymore and punched the couch, gnashing his teeth and said angrily:

"You little bastard, are you dissatisfied with my longevity and planning to issue an urgent order to the King of Hell to urge me to die?"

Li Muyun was stunned for a moment, and then saw Ji Zhen's face sank. He raised his hand and grabbed the heavy curtain on the inside of the couch and pulled it hard.

Crash--boom--bang--

"Um—Zhenzhen, you!"

Suddenly, there was a strange noise coming from the inner hall. Li Muyun, who was ordered to guard outside the hall, walked up to Chonglou and knocked on the door, asking:

"Your Highness, would you like me to come in and serve you?"

"Um...no one is allowed to come in."

Li Muyun's voice was a little breathless, and Chonglou blushed when he heard it, and retreated silently. He blushed and glanced at the palace door, thinking:

Hearing the noise inside, he was afraid that his Highness would get what he wanted today. So he asked the palace servants around him to walk ten steps outside and wait for orders, so that his thin-skinned Highness could act more conveniently.

But Chonglou never expected that his thin-skinned prince had angered Ji Zhen because of his bold dress. He was tied up like a dumpling by Ji Zhen with a heavy curtain and thrown on the soft couch, gasping for breath.

"Zhenzhen, what are you doing? It's too tight. I can't breathe."

Li Muyun was wrapped tightly from head to toe by the curtain that Ji Zhen pulled down, and was tied up tightly with a long rope used to tie curtains. Her hands and feet could not move, and only her head was exposed outside to protest.

After Ji Zhen wrapped Li Muyun up tightly, the urge to beat him up finally calmed down a little.

She sat beside him, drinking tea leisurely, glanced at the knot she had tied, and said lightly:

"Don't worry, I won't suffocate you. But if I don't tie you up tightly, you'll start to act weird again. It's better to keep it this way."

Li Muyun suddenly felt wronged, rolled over to Ji Zhen, hit her with her head, and said angrily:

"What do you mean? You like those male favorites dressed like this, but you don't like me? I just wear it specially for you because I see you like it!"

Li Muyun was so angry that she dumped out all her little thoughts. After she finished speaking, she felt a little ashamed, her face flushed red, and she turned her head away, leaving Ji Zhen with an angry back of her head.

Ji Zhen was extremely helpless. She couldn't tell Li Muyun about Jiang Yan's affairs, but he was still fussing about it.

With a heavy sigh, Ji Zhen decided to talk some sense into this awkward prince.

"Mu Yun, you said it yourself, they are male favorites. As a prince, why do you have to compare yourself with them? You are the younger brother of the Crown Princess, the most beloved prince by His Majesty. You have a noble status and must be dignified and steady. You must never do something like what happened today, do you understand?"

"I don't understand! How am I not dignified and steady? I just..." I want to become the person you like and get your love.

Li Muyun buried his head in the big pillow on the soft couch, swallowing the cry rolling in his throat. He let the cry sink into his heart, turning into thorns that scratched him, causing the corners of his eyes to turn red in pain, and leaving an unbearable wetness on the pillow.

"Speak some sense, Mu Yun." Ji Zhen held his forehead weakly. "As an outsider, it is a taboo for me to stay in your palace at this time, not to mention that you are dressed like that. Think about it carefully. If someone knows about this and makes a fuss about it, and reports it to His Majesty with an impeachment memorial, what will you and I do?"

"Hmph! What's the matter? At most I'll marry you, what are you afraid of!" Li Muyun buried herself in the pillow, feeling really aggrieved.

"Think about it again, you little bastard."

Ji Zhen was so angry that she almost laughed. She patted Li Muyun's head and sighed:

"I came to the palace today on the orders of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, but if someone were to find me in your palace at this time, with you dressed so ridiculously, you and I would be blamed. Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is your biological sister, and the one who summoned me to the palace today will surely be held accountable.

As for me, 'seducing the prince', 'defiling the palace', any one of these is enough to get me killed ten times!

By then, if you want to marry me, I'm afraid you can only have a ghost marriage with me."

"nonsense!"

Ji Zhen was interrupted by Li Muyun before she finished speaking. He turned around with difficulty, his eyes red, and glanced at Ji Zhen. Although he knew she was right, he had a lot of grievances and had nowhere to vent them, so he angrily hit Ji Zhen's stomach with his head to vent his anger.

Ji Zhen quickly caught him and escaped the disaster.

"I will naturally explain it to the Queen Mother. If anyone dares to touch you, I will...I will..."

Li Muyun talked for a long time, but he couldn't finish it in the end. Because he suddenly realized that he had no military power, no authority, and he had no say in the court or the harem. In the deep palace, he only had the doting love given to him by the empress.

Li Muyun was silent, and his silence finally put Ji Zhen at ease. She touched his head soothingly, looked out the window at night, and she had to go. But Li Muyun couldn't be seen by others, so Ji Zhen whispered:

"Do you have any change of clothes? Can I get them for you?"

Li Muyun nodded silently and told Ji Zhen where the clothes were. Ji Zhen found them, put them on the couch, untied the knot for him, and then retreated to the outer room to wait for him to finish dressing.

Not long after, Li Muyun came out dressed neatly. Ji Zhen looked at him and praised him:

"I never thought that our Ninth Prince would dress so well!"

Li Muyun turned away and whispered:

"I'm not a loser who just wants to ask for help."

"Yes, yes, our Ninth Prince is the most powerful!"

Ji Zhen laughed silently and patted his hands. He quietly opened a window and tried to climb over the wall. However, Li Muyun grabbed his hand and said reluctantly:

"Zhenzhen, when will you come to see me again?"

"soon."

Ji Zhen patted the back of his hand as a consolation. He exerted force on his feet, and after a few rises and falls, he disappeared into the night sky.
