Holding the script, I want to give up.

"So what brings you here? You can't just be here for no reason, can you?"

Shangguan Zitong pulled the bed curtains to cover her body, only revealing her head.

“Interesting. Your courtyard is similar to your palace in Nanning. Huangfu Hongxi has put a lot of thought into it.”

Mu Rongyi joked.

"So what if it's almost the same? It's not like it's Nanning."

Shangguan Zitong was also curious when she first arrived, but seeing Huangfu Hongxi and Song Yao's harmonious relationship, she didn't want to ask anymore. Perhaps she just pitied her because her parents had died, her sister had become a victim of power struggles, and she had been married off to a distant place.

"Where did you hide her? Why can't I find her even though I sent people to look for her?"

"Even when I went to Nanning myself, I couldn't find any information."

"What method did you use to hide her so well?"

"I'm really annoyed that you poured cold water on me in the middle of the night, so why don't you guess first?"

"I'm so angry," Shangguan Zitong said. She wouldn't tell anyone that she had the system erase the memories of everyone who had ever met Liu Yunwan, so when they went to look for her with the portrait, no one had ever seen her before.

Even if they wanted to find her as quickly as possible, it would take at least a year. But who told Mu Rongyi to treat Sister Liu so harshly? It's only right that he take his time searching.

“If you don’t let the system intervene, I believe I can find her very quickly.”

"So, can you tell me where you hid her? I really..."

Mu Rongyi looked at her helplessly.

"I have an older brother named Shangguan Jin, you know him, right? That's enough. Whether you can bring her back depends on her wishes."

"Thank you."

Mu Rongyi expressed her gratitude.

"Wow, to hear you thank me in my lifetime, this trip has not been in vain."

"Alright, go ahead and do it."

Seeing the dark circles under his eyes, Shangguan Zitong felt a sense of relief; he had finally taught him a lesson.

"See you later."

After Mu Rongyi finished speaking, she jumped out of the window and went to find Liu Yunwan in the Crown Prince's residence.

"Ah Li, check on Sister Liu's situation."

【good.】

Shangguan Zitong swiped the screen to check Liu Yunwan's condition, and it was indeed as the system had said.

Liu Yunwan picked flowers around the courtyard, and her life was quite comfortable.

Where is Sister Liu's personal maid, Yue'ai?

Shangguan Zitong asked curiously when she saw that Yue Ai was not in the video.

[She left it to her younger brother, Liu Qikang. Didn't you notice that she didn't take Yue Ai with her when she came to help you escape?]

The system replied somewhat speechlessly.

"...Uh, I was so busy having Yibai take Sister Liu out that I didn't notice Yue'ai wasn't here."

Shangguan Zitong continued watching the video.

Shangguan Jin and his friends opened a private school in the city. Every day, he would leave home as the first rays of dawn broke over the countryside, walk into the city to work, and return home as the sun set.

Yi Bai became a male mother, having to do laundry, cook, clean, and get up at the crack of dawn. He also had to act as Liu Yunwan's bodyguard when she went out shopping.

......

After the banquet, Huangfu Hongxi took Liu Yunwan back to the Crown Prince's residence.

Inside Song Yao's bedroom.

"Your Highness, are you really not going to rest here?"

"Is there something I've done wrong?"

"Your Highness, you traveled thousands of miles to Dongchuan to beg for my hand in marriage. Are all those vows of eternal love now meaningless?"

Song Yao cautiously tugged at Huangfu Hongxi's sleeve and tried to persuade him to stay.

"Yaoyao, don't overthink it. I'm just going to the study to handle some official business."

"You should learn from the Crown Princess; she doesn't compete or fight for anything."

After saying this, Huangfu Hongxi regarded Song Yao as a monstrous beast and fled as if he were fleeing.

Song Yao's hand froze in mid-air, her gaze fixed unfriendly on the direction Huangfu Hongxi had left.

"But Your Highness, you were the one who provoked me first! Have you gotten tired of me so quickly?"

"Your Highness is truly greedy, wanting both the fiery red roses and the pure white roses."

"Then you can't blame me."

Seeing that Huangfu Hongxi had already left, Song Yao sat down, picked up the tea on the table, and sipped it in one gulp, muttering to herself softly.

Huangfu Hongxi sat in the study for a while, feeling inexplicably irritable, and his feet, as if on their own, headed towards Shangguan Zitong's bedroom.

Shangguan Zitong had already gone to sleep, but the rustling sounds in the hall eventually woke her up.

"Leqi, what happened?"

Shangguan Zitong sat up and asked, still half asleep.

"Your Highness, it is His Highness who has arrived. They are making preparations."

Leqi put down what she was doing and said.

"What are you preparing in the middle of the night?"

Shangguan Zitong felt they were all a bit crazy. Le Qi pulled Shangguan Zitong up and led her to the bathtub, helping her remove her undergarments, saying, "Your Highness, this is a good opportunity for you and His Highness to consummate your marriage. Please listen to me."

Shangguan Zitong had been stripped down to her underwear and was forced to quickly enter the bathtub. Fortunately, there were still some rose petals to cover her. She was now so silent that she could crush Cambridge.

No, why should she? Just because he's the crown prince, does that mean she has to stay up all night to serve him? Shangguan Zitong got angrier and angrier, but there was nothing she could do about these ancient people.

"Then at least have one of the other maids move a screen to block the view. I'm rather reserved."

Shangguan Zitong compromised.

"Yes, I will take care of it right away."

While Le Qi was away, Shangguan Zitong secretly communicated with the system.

"Ah Li, quick, quick, save my life!"

"Ah Li, can I have my period come early? I absolutely don't want to serve you in bed!"

Shangguan Zitong started to get anxious.

No, such supernatural phenomena do not conform to normal norms.

"Oh, this is supernatural? How was this determined?"

You do not have permission to query.

"Holy crap, what do I do now?"

Shangguan Zitong began to miss the dagger under her pillow.

[The Azure Phoenix Seal can relieve your immediate crisis. Use it?]

"Use, use, use." 』

Shangguan Zitong noticed that the scars left from being shot by arrows and stabbed by knives were gone. In their place was an extremely alluring cloisonné blue phoenix seal.

What is the specific use of this?

No one can touch you unless you truly do not want to.

"OK, got it."

After Shangguan Zitong coughed twice, the maids moved the screen over.

She tried to put on her clothes, but the maids pressed her back down.

"??? How dare you!"

Shangguan Zitong was pushed back into the water and said angrily.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness, but you must not leave the bath before His Highness arrives."

Leqi explained kindly.

"......"

My native language is speechless. Shangguan Zitong, with a dark expression, fiddled with the flower petals in the water.

"The Crown Prince has arrived!"

The father-in-law's distinctive, high-pitched voice called from outside the door.

Seeing that her bedroom was brightly lit, Huangfu Hongxi pushed open the door and entered.

"Princess?"

Huangfu Hongxi was not annoyed that no one responded.

"Greetings, Your Highness. We take our leave."

After all the maids had finished their greetings, they left.

After everyone left, Huangfu Hongxi noticed a head of black hair behind the screen.

Turn around and don't look. Otherwise, I'll come in the middle of the night and gouge your eyes out.

Shangguan Zitong pretended to be cruel.

Huangfu Hongxi obediently turned around.

Shangguan Zitong turned around to confirm that he had indeed turned around, then quickly got out of the tub and put on her clothes.

Huangfu Hongxi was aroused by the sound of the beauty emerging from the bath; he was indeed still young and vigorous.

Shangguan Zitong slowly stepped out from behind the screen, coughing weakly a few times.

"It's getting chilly, don't catch a cold."

Upon seeing this, Huangfu Hongxi disregarded his own reaction and immediately took off his outer robe and draped it over her.

"Your Highness need not worry."

Shangguan Zitong took off her outer robe, walked to her wardrobe, and casually picked out a cloak to put on.

Huangfu Hongxi picked up his fallen outer robe and said, "Do you hate me that much? You're not even willing to put on an act?"

"What brings Your Highness here? Surely you're not here just for fun?"

Shangguan Zitong pulled her cloak tighter and weakly walked to the square table to sit down. What's going on tonight? Everyone seems so idle.

"Can't I come if there's nothing wrong? Can't I come to finish what I haven't done yet?"

Shangguan Zitong had never seen such a shameless person, who spoke of the wedding night in such a grand and respectable way, it was truly chilling.

"Your Highness, it's late and the dew is heavy. Do you think my weak body can withstand any more exertion? You should go and rest with the concubine."

The meaning is self-evident; Shangguan Zitong has clearly declined and is trying to get rid of him.

Don't you want a child?

Huangfu Hongxi moved closer to her.

"Your Highness, if you are willing, I can take care of your and your concubine's children."

Suppressing her nausea, Shangguan Zitong got up and retreated to the bedside, groping for the dagger under her pillow.

"You keep bringing up the concubine, are you jealous? I have no intention of having a child with her. I only want a child with you, is that so hard?"

Huangfu Hongxi walked to within three meters of the bed, and Shangguan Zitong touched a dagger and pointed it at her own neck, saying, "Don't come any closer, or I'll hang myself."

"Okay, okay, I won't go. Please don't do anything rash."

Huangfu Hongxi stepped back.

"Leave my bedchamber, or else..."

"Shangguan Zitong threatened. Damn it, where did this idiot come from, so groveling? I'm seriously speechless. Does he think all the girls in the world have to revolve around him? Such bizarre self-confidence!"

"Okay, don't get agitated."

As he spoke, Huangfu Hongxi left her palace. Seeing that she really didn't want to serve him, he went to Song Yao's palace and had sex with the concubine.

Shangguan Zitong watched him leave and walked towards Song Yao's bedroom. After seeing the screen full of mosaics, she found it extremely ridiculous.
