Baby, don't be afraid, I'll accompany you to the heavens and the seas!

The outer hall of Qinrou Palace was unusually quiet, with alluring moans escaping from the palace gates, which were adorned with gold and jade carvings of phoenixes and dragons.

The sound lingered in the courtyard, making the peonies droop their petals in embarrassment, too ashamed to show their faces.

Meanwhile, the flowers outside the East Palace's Xizheng Hall were blooming arrogantly, swaying their petals in the wind and smiling broadly.

"Hahaha, he fell flat on his face!!"

"Hahaha~ Luo'er, are you performing acrobatics?! Hahaha~"

Lu Weiqian came to the East Palace for a stroll, but upon seeing this, he withdrew and left. Instead of reaching out to catch Qianqian, who had fallen from the eaves, he laughed and rolled on the ground!

"Even steel bars can't weld your marriage line in this lifetime, I'm telling you!" Qianqianluo, supporting her waist and with her hair disheveled, leaned against the palace wall to get up, looking weak.

She watched as Lu Weiqian, the Sigma man, was still rolling on the ground, grinning foolishly, and in anger, she kicked him.

"Ahhh!! Luo'er, Luo'er! My face!" Lu Weiqian's face was covered with the footprints she had kicked him in anger, and was also stained with some dirty bird droppings.

"What, what is this?!" Young Master Lu asked in confusion, wiping a white, sticky mess from his mouth and sniffing it.

"Bird poop!" Qianqianlu stood with her hands behind her back, then ran down the palace road.

"Bird, bird poop?! Ahhh!!"

Startled, Lu Weiqian pulled out a silk handkerchief to wipe the dirt off his hands, then scrambled to his feet and scurried after Young Master Luo.

"Luo'er! Luo'er, wait for me!"

"Luo'er~ I won't blame you! Luo'er!!"

"Am I afraid you'll blame me? Laughable, you really think you're His Highness the Crown Prince?!" Qianqianluo, who had leaped over the wall, ignored her and continued flying towards the East Palace.

"I just...sigh! I just can't face you!"

Young Master Luo suddenly stopped what she was doing. The thought of the Lu family being executed and the eldest son of the Lu family suffering from a leg ailment left her in a daze for a long while.

Finally, Qianqian hung her head and reluctantly reached out her hand to Lu Weiqian, who was catching up behind her, panting.

"Luo'er, hahaha, I knew it! I knew you wouldn't abandon me!"

Lu Weiqian, wiping the sweat from his brow and panting, looked at the spotless, dashing young man on the eaves of the palace. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Luo'er, you're so handsome!"

Young Master Lu grinned, revealing his tiger teeth, and casually tossed his crimson hair ribbon a few times. He then took the hand she offered and leaped onto the roof of the palace.

"Does the Minister allow you to mingle with me like this, scaling walls and leaping over rooftops?!"

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the two lay together in the warm, golden sea of ​​sunset clouds.

On the eaves of the Eastern Palace, the two comfortably drank the strong liquor that Young Master Lu had secretly brought into the palace: "Ha~ Hiss!"

Lu Weiqian took a small sip of the strong liquor, choked, and sat up straight, panting, "So strong! How can this liquor be so potent?"

"No way! It's not fierce! Is it as fierce as you?!"

Qianqian felt a surge of malice. She got up, put the wine pot aside, and slapped Young Master Lu's swaying, pert buttocks a few times.

"Ah~! Luo'er, what, what are you doing?!"

A few blushes appeared on Young Master Lu's face, and a few strands of his beautiful hair, hanging down his forehead, swayed refreshingly in front of his eyes.

"Oh my gosh~ Are you shy?!"

Qianqian raised her hand and pinched the boy's still immature chin, while stroking Lu Weiqian's fair and beautiful face with her other hand.

Lu Weiqian shyly closed his eyes and pouted, wanting his sweetheart to kiss him.

In the fading glow of the imperial palace, the sunset blurred the two men's overly long robes, making them appear as if they were in a dream.

Several layers of illusory light were then applied to the two figures, so that outsiders could only see the two entangled figures, but not the situation within the illusory light.

Qianqian stared at Lu Weiqian, who looked "incredibly innocent" with his lips pouting like a pig's snout, and suddenly found him somewhat adorable.

*Smack!* Qianqian raised her hand and brought the back of her hand close to Young Master Lu's pig mouth, then immediately put her hand behind her back.

"Ahhh! Luo'er, I, I, ahhh!!"

Lu Weiqian felt a coolness on his lips. He had just opened his eyes, suppressing his excitement, when he saw the smiling young master Luo with his back to the sudden glow of the sunset, their eyes meeting in a loving gaze!

"Luo'er, I'm yours from now on!"

Young Master Lu shyly embraced the slender and elegant Young Master Luo, burying his head in her neck and rubbing his head against hers like a big yellow dog that had just eaten meat.

"Luo'er, I, I, I...!"

"Hmph! When did such a sordid thing become possible in the Eastern Palace?" Qing Tingyu, dressed in a black robe, kicked the two people he was embracing out of the Eastern Palace gate.

"Does Minister Lu know that the eldest son of the Lu family is gay? Does he also know that the eldest son of the Lu family dared to have such audacity as to come to the East Palace to secretly meet with my tutor?!"

Qing Tingyu leaped down, and the guards presented her with a soft chair.

The little tyrant crossed his legs and leaned lazily against the soft chair.

He sipped the tea offered by his guard and coldly questioned the pair of lovers who had fallen in front of him.

"Hiss~!" Qianqian quickly pulled Lu Weiqian to take the fall, but unfortunately, she was kicked hard by His Highness the Crown Prince.

"Weiqian, are you... are you alright?"

Young Master Luo pulled up Lu Weiqian, who had been lying on the ground as a cushion, and waved his hand in front of him.

"Luo'er, is it dark yet?! Why, why am I seeing so many stars? So many stars! They're twinkling!"

Young Master Lu's lips turned deathly pale. After swallowing his words, he weakly collapsed into Qianqianluo's arms.

"Lu Weiqian? Lu Weiqian?!" She anxiously raised her hand and slapped Sigma's fair face, feeling somewhat flustered.

"Stop shouting, hmph! In my opinion, Young Master Lu couldn't withstand your wolfish kisses and fainted from Young Master Luo's kisses!"

The little tyrant leisurely fanned himself with a plain white bone fan, tilting his head and staring intently at Young Master Luo's slightly chapped lips.

Qianqianluo dared not look directly into the Crown Prince's blatant and strange gaze. She lowered her head and continued to pat the unconscious Lu Weiqian.

"Alright, Zifeng, go prepare the carriage and properly escort Young Master Luo's sweetheart back to the Minister's residence!"

Qing Tingyu placed his hands in the warming incense smoke from the incense burner, yawning as he gave the order in a low voice.

"Young Master Luo! Let Zifeng handle him!" Mei Zifeng carefully helped Lu Weiqian up and lifted him into the carriage.

Giddy up! Giddy up! As the sound of hooves faded into the distance, outside the East Palace gate, Qianqianlu remained kneeling before His Highness the Crown Prince, not daring to rise.

His Highness the Crown Prince swayed in front of her, flicked his sleeve, half-squatted down, and forcefully lifted her chin with the handle of his fan!

"Hmph, I was only away from you for a short while and someone has already bitten my lips?!"

"If? If I hadn't returned to the palace today, would your bodies have been offered up as well?! Hmm?!"

The little tyrant stared at the pale-faced young master Luo, then moved his hand to wipe the half-red lips.

He resisted the urge to cut it off, his face grim as he slowly and gently caressed the broken, half-broken hibiscus-like lip.
