A bucket of cold water was poured on little Nangong Mingzhu's head, which instantly woke him up and made him shiver.

The elegantly dressed and graceful woman sat lazily on the couch, looking at him with interest.

He was not stupid. The moment he woke up, he understood what had happened. His face turned pale, his heart was cold, and every part of his body was cold to the bone.

He looked at Xiaogui who was standing next to the woman not far away.

He was the one who betrayed him.

He poisoned the food.

The woman raised her lips and smiled, "Are you curious about why I came to you?"

She waved lightly.

A guard came forward, holding the white cat in his hand.

"A prince who doesn't even have a mother doesn't learn how to hide his edge, but instead tries to divert His Majesty's attention." The woman laughed mockingly, "Has he become stupid from studying?"

"Do it."

At the woman's command, the guard pulled out a short dagger and stabbed the white cat.

"No!" Little Nangong Mingzhu felt a pain in his heart and screamed heart-wrenchingly. He wanted to rush over to stop them, but was held down by several palace maids.

The guards did not kill the white cat immediately. Instead, they ripped it open and left it to scream miserably at the beginning until it died.

The slow slicing of the body with one cut after another made everyone present gag uncontrollably, except for the women who watched with great fascination.

The woman slowly stood up and said in a stern tone, "If you don't understand your place in the future, this cat will be your fate."

"You know, it would be as easy as... turning your hand to make you disappear from this world."

Yue Liuyun witnessed all this and was suddenly shocked. The bloody scene made her feel physically uncomfortable, her stomach was churning, and her limbs were stiff.

Suddenly, her consciousness blurred again and she fell into endless darkness.

-

The sky is just beginning to brighten, and the morning light is just breaking.

Yue Liuyun suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a mist in his eyes.

Her distracted eyes gradually focused and the scene in front of her became clearer.

But it made her stand there in a daze, her pupils trembling, and her heart suddenly startled.

Through the curtains, one could see Nangong Mingzhu lying on the dragon bed, eyes closed, still sound asleep. His shirt was half-open, revealing his muscular chest, and his disheveled hair made his handsome face even more enchanting, beautiful and handsome.

But she stood at the head of his bed, her body light and her feet a few inches off the ground.

She raised her hands with a slight tremor and looked at them carefully.

Although it was slightly translucent, it was slender and small, with distinct knuckles. It was... her own hand.

Before she could digest all the information, Nangong Mingzhu woke up.

He stood up casually and pulled open the curtain, meeting Yue Liuyun's slightly dull eyes.

Only then did Nangong Mingzhu realize that his soul seemed to have returned to his body.

He smiled lazily and looked at Yue Liuyun thoughtfully.

The girl's dress was very strange, completely different from theirs. The furry grey collar made her skin look fair, and the loose clothes barely outlined her figure.

Her appearance cannot be called stunning, but she has a pair of big eyes with distinct black and white, which are particularly cunning and smart. Her delicate round face makes her look cute and adorable, and her long hair makes her look a bit weak and bookish.

Nangong Mingzhu was a little surprised.

I didn't expect that she would have such a harmless face.

Yue Liuyun finally came back to his senses from the dream he had just had. He looked at Nangong Mingzhu with a slightly complicated expression and said, "Last night..."

She actually had such a dream... Could it be that because she occupied his body, she also saw some of his memories?

Also, why did her soul suddenly leave her body today?

"What happened last night?" Nangong Mingzhu asked with raised eyebrows.

Yue Liuyun calmed down and finally said, "...Nothing."

"If I remember correctly, the moon seemed especially round last night." As she spoke, her eyes accidentally glanced at his chest exposed under his open collar, and she couldn't help but turn her head away.

Nangong Mingzhu noticed her little movement and said with a half-smile, "You're shy again... How has my body not been seen by you? How is it that you're not familiar with?"

Yue Liuyun said angrily, "Are you sick?"

She only turned her head out of politeness. What good manners does that have? What is this person thinking? What kind of garbage is in his head?

Nangong Mingzhu stood up, straightened his clothes, and answered her sincerely, "No."

He thought for a moment, then replied seriously to another sentence Yue Liuyun had just said: "The moon was indeed very round last night, but tonight is only the fifteenth day of the full moon."

Fine.

Yue Liuyun accepted this fact calmly.

Now the person floating around like a ghost turned into her again.

However, she finally didn't have to do things like reviewing memorials in court. She thought happily, "That's great, I can finally rest."

-

The morning court ended quickly.

On the surface, the entire court seemed calm and nothing major happened, but Nangong Mingzhu's secret guards frequently reported news.

The eldest princess's men have already begun to act.

Nangong Mingzhu was not in a hurry at all. Instead, he strolled leisurely in the imperial garden.

Yue Liuyun, however, was still thinking about the eldest princess's plan, and kept chattering to Nangong Mingzhu.

The geese fly south, the leaves fall, and the bluestone slabs are spotless. White walls and ancient pavilions stand along the way, and flowers are in full bloom, mostly hibiscus and autumn chrysanthemums, with epiphyllums and hibiscus as embellishments. The fragrance of osmanthus is particularly refreshing.

Nangong Mingzhu touched his chin and looked at Yue Liuyun who was analyzing seriously with a bit of interest, which was a bit funny.

In the past, she had pressed against his face and used his body, and her every move and gesture had the aura of an emperor who was decisive and capable of making strategic plans.

Now she is planning and strategizing with such a cute and adorable face. The huge contrast is really surprising.

After Yue Liuyun finished speaking, he still felt a little uneasy and frowned, saying, "I think you should go meet 'that person' now. It would be best if..."

As she spoke, she looked at Nangong Mingzhu with a serious expression.

But I saw that the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and a faint smile appeared in his beautiful eyes.

Seeing this, Yue Liuyun asked uncertainly, "What do you mean?"

Was she wrong? Why was he laughing so strangely?

"Could it be... that you are making fun of me?" she asked in disbelief.

Nangong Mingzhu's playful smile froze slightly.

He crossed his arms and smiled, "I was just wondering, you can't even see such a beautiful view, and you're still thinking about those things?"

"Your plan is flawless. There's no need to worry about it."

The moon and clouds drifted away silently from his side, and he raised his eyes, and flowers of various colors came into view. The fiery red and golden fallen leaves contrasted with the scenery, which was bleak yet elegant.

It looks really good.

She slowly floated to his side again, sighed softly, and explained, "This matter is extremely important. If my plan succeeds, many things will become much simpler in the future. There must not be even the slightest mistake..."

As he spoke, even Yue Liuyun himself felt that he was being a little long-winded and couldn't help but sneer.

It's true that the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is.

Bah, she is not a eunuch.

When Yue Liuyun smiles, her eyes are curved, her eyes are bright and her teeth are white. The moment her light soul floats over, she looks especially like a white cat.

Nangong Mingzhu's eyes darkened, a sinister look suddenly forming. That's right, it really does look like... the cat he once raised.

The memory was too old, but it was very vivid when he recalled it, causing him to inexplicably feel annoyed and want to kill.

The fiery red fallen leaves all around were as disgusting as the large pieces of sticky and smelly blood.
