The moon is on the willow branches, and we meet at midnight

A sound of "swish" was heard passing through the snow, leaving a few traces of snow on the ground, and mottled traces were left on the snow.

"Quack, quack, quack~"

The crows that were treading on the snow and nestling on the branches kept calling seemed to be constantly declaring their sovereignty in the dark night, showing their might.

The sound of candlelight flickered, and a man wrapped in a black cloak walked into the palace. He looked around, walked lightly towards the center of the palace...

A sound of "whoosh~" broke through the air and rang in his ears. The person dodged sideways and stumbled, almost falling to the ground. At this moment, in the depths of the dark hall, the sound of bead curtains rang out, and deep candlelight lit up from behind the pillars.

"Who disturbs my peace?"

Upon hearing this, the 'Black Cloak' pulled the brim of his cloak, steadied his body, and slowly walked to the center. "We've already set off."

"Does this little thing have anything to do with me? Why do you have to tell me about it?"

The woman leaned on the couch, fanning herself with one hand and tapping the edge of the couch with the other.

"The place we're going to is well-prepared all around. I guarantee he won't be able to escape..."

The woman paused after hearing this, gently closed the fan, turned over and sat up, the hand holding the fan gently pinched the fan handle, lifted the bead curtain, and looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes.

"You know, if the emperor knew what you said today... it would be a crime punishable by death."

The "Black Cloak" lowered his head upon hearing this, but shook his head firmly and said resolutely: "Of course I know, but... you always have to pay the price for doing something wrong."

"Huh~ Price? This price is really cheap." The woman lowered the curtain, sat back on the couch, waved her hand gently, and muttered

"I don't know about this matter... After this incident, I don't want to see him come back again..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in the black cloak nodded, turned around, and disappeared into the dark hall.

"Pah" As the candlelight in the hall went out again, the whole hall fell into a dead silence...

-----------------

In the dim morning light, the sunlight shines through the bare tree trunks and falls on the snow, creating beautiful spots of light and shadow.

The little bird was hopping on the tree trunk, and just as it was about to open its mouth, a clear and loud crowing of a rooster was heard, completely breaking the silence of the night.

"My dear, the sun has risen, it's time to get up."

Lu Shiniang opened the door and placed a basin of water on the shelf. As the water splashed, a wrung-out cloth suddenly appeared in the woman's hand.

Lu Shiniang walked slowly towards the boy with a cloth in her hand, sat down gently, and seeing that the boy still seemed unconscious, she immediately placed the cloth on his face.

"Ah! It's so cold..."

A cry broke through the silence of the room, especially abrupt in the early morning.

"Uuuuu~"

Wen Baixu's mouth, which was originally screaming, was covered by someone, and that person looked at him with a gentle smile.

"Young Master, as you said, disturbing someone's sleep is a serious crime, so we should keep our voices down."

Wen Baixu didn't dare to force it, so he nodded weakly, indicating that he knew it.

"My dear little boy, you are so good"

As she spoke, she took her hand away from the boy's mouth and pointed at his face.

Wen Baixu touched his face without knowing what was going on, but he only felt a piece of cloth. He immediately understood what Lu Shiniang meant.

He picked up a cloth and wiped his face. A cool feeling was transmitted from his skin to his central nervous system. The boy shuddered, got out of bed, looked at the person sitting at the table, and said,

"Sister, it's winter, shouldn't it be...hot water?"

"My dear, please don't forget. Your parents have told you a lot. Don't lose sight of the big picture because of the small."

"What? Small? What's big?"

Wen Baixu looked at the woman in confusion

"To enjoy life and live a lazy life is a minor issue, but not having any skills is a major issue"

"Who said that? Who said I was looking for pleasure? And who told you I was just going there to have fun..."

"Master Gu..."

Lu Shiniang slowly put down the teacup, took a sip of tea, raised her eyelids and looked at the boy.

"I.....what is going on here? How is this possible?"

"Well, I don't believe it either, but I really can't disobey your order."

Lu Shiniang took out a silk handkerchief from her waist, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said aggrievedly

Wen Baixu wanted to argue, but after thinking about it, he shook his head, threw the towel into the basin, put on his underwear, and sat down.

"Then you are just sending me to the Immortal Sect this time."

The woman nodded and shook her head, "Yes and no."

"what?"

Wen Baixu was confused again, staring at her intently.

"Young Master, it is true that my mission is to escort you, but I am also one of the members of the Immortal Sect."

"One? You want to join that one too... No way."

"Why... young lord... is this not allowed? Or do you think I am not worthy of you?"

As she spoke, the woman took up the handkerchief and wiped her eyes, covering her face.

"That's not what I meant. I just can't believe that you want to join this damn immortal sect. I thought you just wanted to stay with your damn husband forever."

The boy spoke nervously, glancing at the woman from time to time.

"But I am not the only one in the Immortal Sect..."

Lu Shiniang covered her mouth in dismay, shook her head, and the sound suddenly stopped.

"Who else wants to go? Say..."

"Hmm~ I don't know... I won't tell you even if I die."

Seeing her determination, Wen Baixu stared at her for a while, knowing that he couldn't get anything out of her, he spread his hands and shook his head, "Anyway, we'll know in the end, no rush, no rush"

Hearing this, Lu Shiniang nodded repeatedly. The young man stood up, walked to the side, picked up the clothes beside the bed, and put them on one by one.

The woman hurried over and was about to start, but she heard

"Sister, don't worry about this little thing. I can do it myself."

As he said this, he tied his belt, put on his outer robe, turned around, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the driver's voice outside.

"Girl, sir, it's time to go downstairs for breakfast. After breakfast, we have to get going early."

Wen Baixu looked at Lu Shiniang, then answered towards the door, then he moved his facial muscles and made a gesture of invitation.

Lu Shiniang laughed in silence, nodded, and walked towards the door...

After a while, the three of them finished their meal. The driver had already gone to the back and drove the carriage to the door. Just as Wen Baixu was about to get up, he felt Lu Shiniang's hand gently take the handkerchief she had held in her hand and gently wipe the corner of Wen Baixu's mouth to wipe off the stain.

The boy froze in place, feeling the warmth coming from the corner of his mouth, he couldn't help but look away

"My dear, I thought you were not afraid of anything, but it turns out you are also shy..."

Lu Shiniang smiled gently and put the handkerchief back.

Wen Baixu blushed when he heard this and ran upstairs

The woman sitting in the seat looked at the figure going away, slowly lowered her head, and stared at the handkerchief closely...
