After drinking the sobering tea, they waited for a while while Tang Wenshu and Tang Qi explained the whole story in detail. Tang Wenshu gradually sobered up from her drunken state. At this time, Tang Qi looked at Tang Wenshu with an unconcealed gaze. It was an aggressive look that seemed to swallow her whole.

At this moment, Zhao Rui suddenly proposed returning the throne to Tang Qi, while Tang Wenshu continued as empress. He also suggested dismissing the harem beforehand to alleviate their worries. However, faced with this proposal, Tang Jilian and Tang Qi unanimously objected: "Your Majesty! This is absolutely inappropriate. The situation at court is already unstable. If we act rashly, we will likely cause further unrest."

At this point, Tang Qi felt a bit shy, especially when it came to Tang Wenshu. He lowered his head slightly, as if trying to conceal his inner turmoil. Meanwhile, Zhao Rui, looking seriously in Tang Wenshu's direction, slowly spoke, "As everyone knows, my physical condition makes it impossible for me to conceive. Brother Qi, we urgently need a crown prince to inherit the throne." Hearing this, Tang Wenshu still looked bewildered, clearly not yet fully understanding the topic at hand.

Then, Zhao Rui seemed to have remembered something important. He lowered his voice and said to Tang Qi mysteriously, "Oh, there's one more thing you might not know. There's actually a secret tunnel under Kunning Palace..."

Zhao Rui quietly handed Tang Qi a mysterious secret decree with four characters written on it: "Affair by Order!" This decree caused a ripple in Tang Qi's heart.

Meanwhile, Tang Wenshu had been living alone in Kunning Palace for several days, with no one visiting her. Every day, she could only gaze out the window at the scenery, killing her boredom.

Time flew by, arriving at dusk on the third day. The setting sun was as red as blood, staining half the sky red. The gorgeous sunset glow illuminated the entire palace like a dream. At this moment, Zhao Rui hurried back from handling government affairs, preparing to enjoy a sumptuous dinner with Tang Wenshu.

Just as the two of them sat down and hadn't had time to start eating, Tang Qi suddenly appeared from the tunnel like a ghost. He first bowed respectfully to Zhao Rui, then walked straight to Tang Wenshu and sat down without any hesitation.

"I'm here on a mission ordered by the emperor." Tang Qi said calmly, as if all this was natural.

Tang Wenshu chewed her food, but her hands didn't stop moving. She glanced at Tang Qi and asked casually, "Brother, have you eaten yet?"

Tang Qi shook his head and replied, "No."

Hearing this, Tang Wenshu's mind moved. She was about to tell the maid to bring another set of bowls and chopsticks, but she swallowed the words back. She suddenly realized that Tang Qi had come here secretly through a tunnel. If someone discovered the extra set of bowls and chopsticks, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble.

At that moment, Tang Wenshu's bright eyes darted around, and then the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a charming yet slightly shy smile. She whispered softly, "Since that's the case, then let me feed you myself." As soon as she finished speaking, she gently extended her chopsticks and steadily grasped a piece of exquisitely prepared food, both beautiful and fragrant. The dish was like a fine work of art, emitting an alluring aroma.

Then, Tang Wenshu carefully and gently passed the delicacy to Tang Qi's mouth, her eyes revealing a hint of anticipation and tenderness. Tang Qi was slightly startled at first, but soon reacted, a doting smile appeared on his face, and he slowly opened his mouth to accept his sister's kindness.

Time slipped quietly in this warm atmosphere, and soon, everyone hurriedly finished their meal. Zhao Rui was the first to put down his chopsticks. After a slight nod to the others present, he stood up and left the table, walking quickly towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation. As his figure gradually faded from sight, only Tang Qi and Tang Wenshu remained in the dining room. At that moment, they sat opposite each other, and the air around them seemed filled with an indescribable intimacy and warmth.

On a spring night, the moonlight, like water, gently shone on the carved window lattices, casting a hazy shadow on the interior of the house. Tang Qi and Tang Wenshu were immersed in this dreamlike atmosphere, and everything around them seemed to be draped in a poetic veil by the quiet night.

Tang Qi, dressed in a moon-white robe, stood tall and straight, his sharp brows and eyes appearing even more profound in the moonlight. He gazed silently at Tang Wenshu, his gaze filled with deep affection and longing. Tang Wenshu, in turn, wore a pale pink dress. Her cloud-like hair was loosely tied up, a few strands cascading around her fair neck. She was breathtakingly beautiful. Her slightly flushed cheeks resembled peach blossoms blooming in spring, her shyness radiating an endless tenderness.

The two sat facing each other, the red candles on the table flickering, the candlelight reflected on their faces, outlining a warm and charming outline. There were no extra words, but at this moment, silence was more powerful than words, and their feelings for each other quietly flowed in the quiet air.

Tang Qi slowly stood up, walked over to Tang Wenshu, and gently took her hand. Those hands were delicate and warm, reflecting each other's heartbeats. He led her to the window. Under the moonlight, the garden outside resembled an ink painting, a riot of flowers, and a gentle breeze carried wafts of fragrance. "Wenshu, this spring night is so beautiful, and being with you makes it even more precious." Tang Qi's voice was low and gentle, as if he was afraid to disturb this beautiful moment.

Tang Wenshu tilted her head slightly and looked at Tang Qi, her eyes gleaming like the twinkling stars in the night sky. "Yes, Brother Qi, moments like this are priceless." Her voice was as soft as a whisper, as if expressing the tenderest feelings in her heart.

They leaned against the window, recalling every detail of the past. The time they spent together, the laughter and the tears, now became the most precious treasure in their hearts. In this bustling world, it was so rare to find such a peaceful place, to be able to lean on each other.

Gradually, the night deepened, the moonlight growing clearer and more tranquil. Tang Qi and Tang Wenshu returned to the house and sat side by side on the couch. They shared their dreams and aspirations, their hopes for the future like bright stars, illuminating their path forward.

For a moment in that night, time seemed to stand still for them. In that moment, they distanced themselves from the worldly concerns, lost in a world that belonged only to them. Money is easy to find, but such deep affection and beautiful moments are hard to find. They cherished every moment, etched the tenderness and love of this spring night deep in their hearts, becoming an eternal memory. Looking back, this beautiful night will mellow like fine wine, leaving a lasting aftertaste, a testament to their unwavering love, shining brightly through the years.
