Women disguised as men went to the battlefield and the emperor bowed down in submission.

Alone under the moon, I drink a full cup of wine; a gentle breeze blows, and the night is slightly cool.

Raising a cup, I invite the moon to join me in a solitary dance; with my shadow, we become three, sharing a drink together.

The aroma of wine is intoxicating, and my thoughts drift as if I'm in a fairyland.

Through drunken, hazy eyes, the world appears beautiful and gentle.

Lin Ruoshui recited the poem as she went downstairs. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders and swayed gently with her movements, like a black waterfall, flowing with elegance and charm.

Her skin appeared even whiter and more delicate under the light, like porcelain under the moonlight, radiating a captivating glow.

As Amur and Hua Jie, the madam of Chunfeng Tower, were discussing where to find the stunningly beautiful woman to present to Prince Lu, they spotted Lin Ruoshui drinking wine and composing poetry.

Amur said, "Sister Hua, since you possess such unparalleled beauty, why won't you give it to me?"

Sister Hua said, "That's not true. This person is not a girl from my building at all."

Amur said, "Sister Hua, I've never mistreated you, how can you lie to my face?"

Sister Hua said, "She really isn't one of the girls from my building. I'll go up and ask her."

Sister Hua moved gracefully to Lin Ruoshui's side and asked, "Miss, what is your name? What are you doing at Chunfeng Pavilion?"

Lin Ruoshui, her eyes blurry with drunkenness, saw the beautiful and kind Sister Hua and cried out, "Mom, you're my mom, aren't you? Why don't you want me anymore?"

Ling Ye, who was admiring Lin Ruoshui's drunken charm, saw Sister Hua chatting with Lin Ruoshui. He stepped forward and said, "My wife is drunk."

After saying that, he picked up Lin Ruoshui and carried her back to the room.

Seeing this, Amur hurriedly stopped him, saying, "I've taken a liking to your wife. Tell me, how much silver do you want?"

Ling Ye turned to look at Amur. He was shocked. He hadn't expected that Amur, who was so imposing on the battlefield yesterday, would appear at Chunfeng Tower today.

Amur looked Ling Ye up and down and found that the man was as graceful as a swan, breathtakingly beautiful.

He looked at Lin Ruoshui more closely, and he was even more surprised. He saw a woman who was incomparably beautiful and whose purity could cleanse the world.

Amur said, "Sister Hua, I never expected that your Spring Breeze Pavilion would have such stunningly beautiful men and women."

Hua Jie wondered why Amur was so certain that these two people belonged to her Chunfeng Tower. A thought suddenly occurred to her: Could it be that Amur didn't care who they were, and simply assumed they were from Chunfeng Tower so he could take them back and torment them at will?

Sister Hua said, "My lord, these two are indeed stunning beauties. In all my years as a madam, I have never seen such graceful and charming people."

Ling Ye looked at them with amusement, judging that they definitely had ill intentions.

He snorted, turned around, and carried Lin Ruoshui back into the house.

Amur twitched his finger, and a soldier stepped forward. He ordered, "Have our men keep a close watch on Chunfeng Tower, inside and out. Don't let anyone escape."

Ling Ye returned to the room and gently placed Lin Ruoshui on the bed. He soaked a towel and wiped Lin Ruoshui's face.

In her dazed state, Lin Ruoshui thought it was Xiu Yi. She held Xiu Yi's hand and said, "Xiu Yi, you're here. Did you miss me? Let's fight again tonight."

Ling Ye's hand trembled, and he squeezed the towel in his hand so hard that it was wet.

Ling Ye said, "Since you've decided, I'll grant your wish now."

Lin Ruoshui felt dizzy and her stomach churned.

Just as Ling Ye was about to lean down and kiss her cherry lips, Lin Ruoshui suddenly vomited. Ling Ye quickly dodged and escaped unharmed.

Ling Ye closed his eyes tightly, wondering what sins he had committed.

He suppressed his nausea, found some tools, and started cleaning up.

After vomiting, Lin Ruoshui felt much better and fell asleep in bed.

After cleaning her up, Ling Ye dressed Lin Ruoshui in the red flowing dress with wide sleeves that he had prepared beforehand.

Seeing that they were both dressed in red, Ling Ye felt a surge of happiness, thinking they were a perfect match.

Once all the soldiers were in position, Amur kicked open the door to the room where Ling Ye was.

Ling Ye looked up and saw that it was Amur. He felt that things might get out of hand today.

Amur led the way through the gate, followed by soldiers carrying long spears who filed in and surrounded them.

Amur said, "Please come with us, both of you."

Ling Ye smiled wickedly and asked, "Where are you going?"

Amur said, "We will offer you to King Lu. King Lu is fond of beautiful women, both men and women. With your looks, you will surely win his favor. You will then enjoy endless fine silks, brocades, and delicacies."

Ling Ye said, "I don't care if you're the Deer King or the Lion King. If you dare to touch my people, you'll all die."

Amur said, "I see you're refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit. Guards, seize him!"

"Wait! We're willing to go." Lin Ruoshui sobered up and sat up to say.

Seeing that she was awake, Ling Ye went over and stood in front of her, saying, "What kind of trouble are you going to cause now?"

Lin Ruoshui whispered in his ear, "Listen to me."

The hot air sprayed onto Ling Ye's earlobe, sending a tingling sensation through his entire body. He nodded without saying a word.

Lin Ruoshui got up from the bed, walked to Amur, and said, "Let's go, lead the way."

Amur looked Lin Ruoshui up and down, seemingly wondering if there was a trap involved. Then he thought again, there were only two of them. No matter how much they struggled, they couldn't escape his grasp.

Amur gestured for them to proceed, and Lin Ruoshui, dressed in flowing red, walked ahead, with Ling Ye following closely behind.

After leaving Chunfeng Tower, Amur personally helped Lin Ruoshui into the carriage, while Ling Ye narrowed his eyes and looked at Amur.

Amur thought to himself, "I need to find a way to separate the couple. I'll send the man to Prince Lu first, and as for this stunning woman, hehe, I'll have to have my fill tonight, otherwise it'll be too good for Prince Lu."

After hearing Amur's thoughts, Ling Ye used his mind-reading ability to tell Lin Ruoshui.

Lin Ruoshui thought to herself, "That Prince Lu is bisexual, Ling Ye. Looks like your chrysanthemum is in danger tonight."

Ling Ye thought to himself, "Keep showing off. Are you really going to give in to that Amur tonight?"

Lin Ruoshui stroked her non-existent beard and thought, "Judging from Amur's tall and imposing appearance, his skills in that area should be quite good as well."

Upon hearing this, Ling Ye became anxious and said, "You actually have taken a liking to Amur? And you want to sleep with him?"

Lin Ruoshui thought to herself, "Oh, you're getting angry already? You're not worried about your chrysanthemum, but you're worried about me. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would suffer a loss? If someone doesn't sleep with me, I won't sleep with them; but if someone does sleep with me, I'll sleep with them until they die."

Ling Ye's eyes suddenly became unfocused. He felt guilty thinking about what he had done and was afraid that one day Lin Ruoshui would really kill him.

She thought to herself, "To save your chrysanthemum, you need to stall for time tonight. I'll deal with Amur first, then I'll come help you. Remember, don't reveal your identity. I still have a great use for Prince Lu."

Just as Ling Ye was about to speak, Lin Ruoshui pressed her index finger against his lips.

She thought to herself, "Don't speak, the walls have ears."

Ling Ye directly put her index finger in his mouth. When Lin Ruoshui saw this, she quickly pulled it back, but Ling Ye bit the base of her finger with his teeth.
