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

After the tide receded, Lin Ruoshui walked out of the Golden Palace. She saw Zhao Mingxuan in front of her and greeted him warmly, saying, "Zhao Mingxuan, Brother Zhao!"

When Zhao Mingxuan turned around and saw Lin Ruoshui, his heart stopped, and he felt short of breath. He said haltingly, "Greetings, Princess. Does the Princess know me?"

Lin Ruoshui's hand, which had been gesturing, hung awkwardly in the air. She had forgotten that her identity today was not Xuan Yuan Yu, but Chu Ying! She grinned and said, "Brother Zhao, um...um...familiar once, familiar once, we'll get to know each other better."

Zhao Mingxuan felt that Lin Ruoshui might like him a little, otherwise why would she greet him for no reason?

Thinking of this, Zhao Mingxuan's face turned as red as a monkey's bottom. Lin Ruoshui could tell from his expression that he must have misunderstood that she had hit on him. There was no other way but to slip away.

She smiled at Zhao Mingxuan and said, "Brother Zhao, I'll take my leave now. We'll meet again another day." Little did she know that her polite words would make Zhao Mingxuan look forward to seeing Lin Ruoshui every day.

Standing to the side, Xuan Yuan Yu, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, turned from white to green, then to black. With a dark expression, Xuan Yuan Yu glared at Lin Ruo Shui as if he wanted to kill her a hundred times over.

Lin Ruoshui finally received the signal from Xuan Yuan Yu's eyes, thinking, "Damn it, this stingy guy found out. He'll definitely make a scene when we get back. Ugh, I'm so unlucky!"

……

Inside the Feather Palace, a woman was shackled, and a man was punishing her, tickling her until her stomach hurt from laughing.

Lin Ruoshui's expression changed instantly; she no longer wanted to smile. She said angrily, "If you keep tying me up, I'll really get angry! Can you handle the consequences of my anger?"

Xuanyuan Yu asked curiously, "What are the consequences? Tell me about them."

Lin Ruoshui had no idea what the consequences would be; she just wanted to threaten Xuan Yuan Yu.

She thought for a moment and said, "I'm very ticklish. If you tickle my feet again, I'll run away from home and you'll never find me again."

Xuanyuan Yu lay on the bed, propping his chin up with his hand, and said, "So you're planning to spend the rest of your life in my body?"

Lin Ruoshui stubbornly replied, "So what? At worst, I'll castrate you, and I can still be a woman."

Xuanyuan Yu felt a chill in his lower body. "How cruel you are!"

Lin Ruoshui rolled her eyes at him and said, "Hurry up and let me go, or I'll castrate myself tomorrow morning when we switch places."

Xuanyuan Yu climbed on top of her, and Lin Ruoshui immediately felt the air in her chest being forced out, making it hard for her to breathe. She struggled but couldn't break free, so she pretended to be a dead fish and remained motionless.

Seeing that Lin Ruoshui didn't move, Xuan Yuan Yu's eyes were filled with amorous feelings. There was nothing he could do; the woman just wouldn't cooperate. He could only bury himself in his pursuit and try to seduce her.

A tear rolled down Lin Ruoshui's cheek, and Xuan Yuan Yu noticed it keenly. He used his tongue to wipe away the tear, then kissed the corner of her eye and said, "I will never let you down."

Hearing this, Lin Ruoshui shed even more tears. If she had met Xuan Yuan Yu in her past life, she believed they would definitely be happy. However, she had been hurt too deeply in her past life, and she was afraid that she would not be able to love someone wholeheartedly and without reservation again.

Xuanyuan Yu saw Lin Ruoshui's tears flowing incessantly, wetting the hair around her ears. He helped Lin Ruoshui untie the ropes and took a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.

Lin Ruoshui hugged Xuan Yuan Yu, rested her head on his shoulder, and silently shed tears. The tears seemed endless, and Xuan Yuan Yu's back was soaked with sweat, but she was still crying.

Xuanyuan Yu didn't know what grievances she had suffered or why she was so sad, but he made up his mind that he would never let this woman shed tears for him and he would never hurt her.

Lin Ruoshui's eyes were red and swollen from crying. She had completely lost control today, all because of Xuan Yuan Yu's words: "This king will not let you down."

After she cried, the gloomy feeling disappeared, and she felt much better. Xuan Yuan Yu, on the other hand, was affected by her negative emotions, and all his previous interest in teasing her vanished.

Lin Ruoshui didn't want to see the man unhappy, so she helped him again.

This time was different from the past. Xuan Yuan Yu felt that he wanted to give up everything and just wanted to drown in this gentle paradise.
