There was a gentle knock on the door. The sound was so light and soft, as if afraid of disturbing the people in the house, but clear enough to break the silence.

Jing Chunxi, who had already put on his clothes and got out of bed, and Xu Zize, who had just turned his eyes slightly towards her, both of them were attracted to her at the same time.

As the door gently opened, a slender figure slowly came into view. It was a graceful woman dressed in flowing clothes and a veiled hat. She walked lightly and gracefully, as if every step was on the clouds.

The gold embroidery on her gorgeous clothes gleamed faintly in the dim light, and the gauze hanging from her veil fluttered in the wind, covering her face but adding a touch of mystery and elegance.

I have never heard its voice, nor seen its appearance. If someone played an ethereal music at this moment, and then brought in a misty auspicious cloud with the wind, people would definitely think that it was a fairy who accidentally fell into the mortal world and mistakenly entered this world of fireworks.

"Lift the veil."

The woman came to a place four or five steps away from them and bowed slightly to the two of them. Jing Chunxi spoke in a deep voice with unquestionable majesty in his tone.

Although she believed in Xu Zize, she would not treat the woman who seduced her well, especially when she came with the malicious intention of overthrowing the Daqing Dynasty.

At this time, Jing Chunxi couldn't help but admire her a little - the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. She had reached such a situation and was already a prisoner, but she could still be so calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogant, and even saluted calmly. Such a demeanor was truly a rare and extraordinary woman in the world.

It’s a pity that her current position is hostile, otherwise Jing Chunxi would definitely recruit her and use her for his own purposes.

"Princess," the veil was slowly lifted, the beauty's thin lips parted slightly, and a familiar voice gently entered Jing Chunxi's ears. The voice was gentle with a barely perceptible tremor.

"Jiuyue, why is it you?" Jing Chunxi was completely stunned. She had never expected that the ethereal and graceful beauty under the veil was actually played by Jiuyue, who was only average in appearance. It seemed that this veil played a significant role.

"It's a slave!"

After the princess saw his true face, Jiu Yue finally stopped being reserved. He first stood at attention with his back straight, then bowed and clasped his fists, performing a clean and generous martial arts salute. His voice also became much more assertive.

Before the two masters could speak again, she heaved a long sigh of relief, her tone filled with a bit of grievance and fear, and complained to Xu Zize, "Your Highness, if you let me do such pretentious things again in the future, you might as well just sentence me to death."

After she finished speaking, she turned to Jing Chunxi. Her cheerful and generous demeanor suddenly changed. Her eyes instantly turned red, and tears fell like beads from a broken string. Her voice was so choked that she could hardly utter a complete sentence: "Princess, you finally woke up... This servant, this servant, thought I would never see you again..."

"Am I someone who can die so easily?" Jing Chunxi was also infected by her emotions. Her vision suddenly blurred and her eyes became moist. She took two steps forward, stretched out her arms without hesitation, and gave Jiu Yue a solid and warm hug.

Jiu Yue didn't expect her master to be like this. She was so scared that she quickly took two steps back, at a loss, but in the end Jing Chunxi hugged her tightly and refused to let go.

This hug seemed to open the floodgates of certain emotions. The master and servant could no longer restrain themselves and burst into tears as they hugged each other. The worries, fears and concerns of these days all turned into hot tears at this moment.

Xu Zize stood aside and watched this scene. He couldn't help but feel his eyes getting hot. He quietly wiped the corners of his eyes with his fingers to suppress the sob in his throat.

He couldn't bear to see them so excited, and he knew Jing Chunxi had just recovered and shouldn't be too worried. So after a moment, he put away the emotion on his face, assumed the dignity and demeanor of a royal prince, and said in a deep voice, "Jiuyue, change your clothes immediately, then go to Qingfeng to claim your reward."

"Yes!"

Jiu Yue, who had hardly shed tears in more than ten years and was finally freed, immediately pushed Jing Chunxi away when she heard the sound, stood up straight, responded loudly, bowed again, clasped her fists, and gave the two of them a very standard salute.

Then she lowered her head, took a few small steps back, and then quickly turned around and retreated almost as if she was escaping, as if she would lose her composure again if she stayed any longer.

Seeing Jing Chunxi's slightly blaming eyes looking at her coquettishly - there was actually no real anger in those eyes, only a misty light and dependence - Xu Zize hurried forward, pulled her into his arms without saying anything, gave her a solid, possessive hug, and even rubbed his hair against hers.

"Xi'er, you scared Brother Xiaokang to death." His tough and cold personality in front of others completely turned into a soft and gentle person in front of the woman he loved. His voice was low and trembling, with a mixture of relief and fear at having lost something and regained it. He wished he could rub the person in front of him completely into his body.

"If you dare to hide this from Xier again, I will... I will..." Jing Chunxi struggled slightly in his arms but was not angry at all. Instead, she burst out with a hot and humid temperature.

He held her so tightly that she could hardly breathe, but she still held her breath and tried to utter the last half of her threat: "I won't marry you."

"Then I will marry Princess Shang!" His response was angry and anxious, and he blurted it out almost without thinking, with an almost arrogant certainty and affection.

"Ah! Hahaha!" Jing Chunxi finally couldn't pretend anymore and burst out laughing at his words. The laughter was crisp and cheerful, dispelling all the previous haze.

The girl in front of him was smiling with her eyes shining. She was like a happy and lively bird in his arms. Her body was trembling slightly because of her unstoppable laughter. The softness of her chest teased his chest with the slight friction, bringing waves of itchy touch, and causing his lower abdomen to tighten involuntarily.

His brows furrowed slightly, his Adam's apple rolled violently, and he swallowed hard against the sudden surge of thirst. Unable to hold back any longer, he lowered his head and precisely grasped and sealed her moist, soft lips, which had been parted by laughter...
