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

Xuanyuan Yu knew that the animal organs Xiuyi brought were priceless treasures, extremely beneficial to the body.

Although he disliked other men getting close to Lin Ruoshui, he could tolerate it if it could help his woman recover quickly.

Xuanyuan Yu said, "Let's hold on for another month. Once you're better, we'll stop eating it."

"How is what you said any different from what Xiu Yi said? When did you two become so close that you're practically inseparable?" Lin Ruoshui shouted angrily.

Xuanyuan Yu and Xiuyi looked down at their own pants and each other's pants.

……

The lively and energetic Lin Ruoshui happily arrived at Baili Heng's room.

Baili Heng was sleeping when Lin Ruoshui approached and saw that his complexion was still not good.

The scars on his right cheek were crisscrossed, making him look ferocious and terrifying. His once ethereal face was now so wretched.

She recalled Baili Heng's ordeal on the cliff and the words he had spoken to her, and a tear slid down her cheek.

Baili Heng sensed a familiar presence. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the woman who was shedding tears for him. His heart suddenly ached.

He clutched his right side, near his heart, and said, "Why are you here? Is your injury all healed?"

Lin Ruoshui said, "I'm all better now, I just came to see how you are doing."

Baili Heng remembered his right cheek and quickly covered it with his hand, saying, "Isn't it scary? Don't look, don't look!"

Baili Heng wanted to be perfect in front of this woman and didn't want her to see his ugly side.

Lin Ruoshui said, "I won't look!" and then she closed her eyes.

"I'm not going to watch anymore, let's just chat like this," Lin Ruoshui said with her eyes closed.

Seeing that she was no longer looking at him, Baili Heng took his hand down and took Lin Ruoshui's hand, saying, "I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this."

Lin Ruoshui smiled with her eyes closed and said, "It's okay. You saved me before, so we're even."

Baili Heng tightened his grip on her hand and said, "I don't want to even things out! I want to repay what I owe you with my whole life, is that alright?"

Lin Ruoshui was taken aback and said, "You should take care of your health first, otherwise how will you repay me?"

Baili Heng misunderstood and said, "Do you want me to repay you with my body?"

Lin Ruoshui sighed and rubbed her forehead. She stood up, still with her eyes closed, and groped her way to turn around, teasing him, "Your little body has suffered such a serious injury, are you alright?"

Baili Heng's hand trembled slightly, but he said in a firm tone, "Yes, it works perfectly!"

Lin Ruoshui laughed and said, "Just kidding, I was just teasing you. Your injury will heal, and your face will heal too. I don't need you to repay me. We're even."

After saying that, Lin Ruoshui walked out quickly.

Baili Heng closed his eyes, a sense of loss lingering in his heart.

……

Two months later, Baili Heng recovered from his illness. King Baili Yi of Lanling Kingdom passed away, and his eldest son, Baili Yuan, ascended the throne as Emperor Xiaoyuan.

Inside the Maple Forest Garden of the Chu King's Palace.

Meng Tuo knelt down and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness!"

The golden mask on Baili Heng's right cheek added a touch of mystery to his gentle and refined demeanor.

Having gone through life and death, his gaze became even sharper, like an eagle soaring in the sky.

Baili Heng said, "General Meng, please rise. What is the current situation in the army?"

Meng Tuo said, "The morale of the army is currently unstable. Baili Yuan declared himself emperor, and his first imperial edict was to cut off our army's food supplies. At present, the army's food supplies are only enough for two months."

We hope that the Crown Prince will return to the army soon to inspire the soldiers and troops to punish the traitor.

Baili Heng said, "Our army is not strong enough to contend with the entire Lanling Kingdom. However, I have decided to cooperate with the Chishui Kingdom and fight together, attacking from both the inner and outer lines at the same time, catching them off guard."

Meng Tuo said, "Your Highness, the Chishui Kingdom has ulterior motives. If they are not truly willing to help, there is a risk of inviting a wolf into our house."

Baili Heng said, "My mind is made up!"

Meng Tuo knelt down and bowed, saying, "Yes!"

Bailiheng asked, "Did you find anything during the gaps in the investigation I asked you to?"

Meng Tuo said, "I have already planted spies in the army to closely monitor anyone whose behavior is suspicious."

Baili Heng stood up and walked behind Meng Tuo, saying, "Alright, before I return to the army, the gap must be found out. I will lend you a hand."

……

Perhaps because she ate too much animal offal, Lin Ruoshui felt hot and stuffy every day. She felt a little breathless lying in the room, so she decided to go outside for a walk.

That's when trouble started.

Lin Ruoshui was unfamiliar with the Chu Prince's residence, so she wandered around and happened to come across the vicinity of Xuan Yuan Yu's study.

Lin Ruoshui was very curious. Recently, her hearing and eyesight had become exceptionally sharp, and she could clearly hear the conversation inside the study from a great distance.

"Your Highness, don't you like Xin'er even a little bit?" A woman's soft, sweet voice came from behind.

No one in the room responded to her, so the woman continued in a mournful tone, "Xin'er has long admired the prince. I don't need a title, as long as the prince is willing to give Xin'er just once, just once, I will go far away and never bother you again."

Hearing this, Lin Ruoshui felt a little excited: "What's going on? Did Xuanyuan Yu have a romantic encounter? And it happened in broad daylight?"

At this moment, Lin Ruoshui had no idea whether she would be cheated on; she still trusted Xuan Yuan Yu completely.

She was just being gossipy; she was wondering what Xuan Yuan Yu's expression would be if she burst in right now—it would probably be hilarious.

Just as she was thinking of going closer to take a look, Xiu Yi reached out from behind her, put her arm around her waist, and took her up to the roof.

Xiu Yi skillfully and gently lifted two tiles, then lay down and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Lie on me, the tiles are cool."

Lin Ruoshui scratched her head, but eventually decided to lie down on it.

As her chest was squeezed, Xiu Yi let out a small sigh.

The two bodies overlapped, their heads and shoulders crossed, and they looked down together.

As she spoke, Xin'er undressed and walked up to Xuan Yuan Yu, saying, "Your Highness, please take me!"

Xuanyuan Yu turned around, glanced at the naked Xin'er, and said, "You can leave now. I have no interest in you."

Xin'er stepped forward and hugged his waist, saying, "Your Highness, I beg you not to refuse me."

With a forceful movement, Xuanyuan Yu caused Xin'er to cry out and fall backward to the ground.

Xuanyuan Yu did not turn around and said coldly, "I am not interested in women. I only like Yingying."

Xin'er froze, thinking, "Could it be that the prince is impotent? Even in my condition, how can he remain unmoved?"

Regardless of what others think of his words, Xuanyuan Yu is telling the truth.

Lin Ruoshui frowned and lay on Xiu Yi in dissatisfaction, saying, "Is that it? The show ended before it even started?"

Xiu Yi used his internal force to push her away. He turned around, and Lin Ruoshui gently landed on him again.

The two locked eyes, and Xiu Yi said playfully, "What else do you want to see? How did a green meadow grow on your head?"

Lin Ruoshui said, "I have to slap her a couple of times, that would be a way to vent my anger."

Xiuyi said, "Give me a kiss, and I'll go help you vent your anger."

Lin Ruoshui said, "No need, I can go by myself."

Xiu Yi fell silent, staring at the petite woman before him. He smiled mischievously and said, "Sooner or later, you'll need me. That day isn't far off."

Lin Ruoshui said decisively, "Dream on."

Xiu Yi grabbed her neck and said, "We'll see." Then he kissed Lin Ruoshui's lips hard.

Lin Ruoshui struggled to her feet and said, "You filthy scoundrel."

Xiu Yi lay motionless on the roof, looking up at the blue sky, and said, "A woman who is difficult to control."

Xin'er put on her clothes and left Xuan Yuan Yu's study.

She came to the pond and looked at her reflection in the water. She was so beautiful and charming that so many men admired her. But the prince was unmoved. What should she do?

She wanted to be the Princess Consort of Chu, how could she give that up?

Even if the prince is truly impotent, she can still find other ways to make him fall in love with her and make him unable to leave her.

At this moment, a vicious and lewd expression appeared in Xin'er's eyes.

Lin Ruoshui appeared behind her and said, "Your expression is a bit disgusting."

Xin'er turned around, her expression immediately becoming innocent and naive. With trembling eyelashes, she said, "Greetings, Princess."

Lin Ruoshui said, "You actually knew I was a princess? Did Xuanyuan Yu tell you?"

Xin'er said gently and shyly, "Your Highness and I can talk about anything. There are no secrets between us."

Lin Ruo said that seeing such a green tea bitch made her feel uncomfortable all over. She had been irritable and short-tempered lately, and hearing her say that made her a little unable to stand it.

"Even if you were naked, people wouldn't even look at you. How dare you say that?" Lin Ruoshui said contemptuously.

Xin'er was shocked, not expecting that Lin Ruoshui knew everything that had just happened.

Xin'er blushed and said, "The prince is only interested in you for a short time. Once the novelty wears off, he will accept me."

Lin Ruoshui said, "I'm waiting for the day he accepts you."

Xin'er was speechless, never expecting that a princess of a country would speak so vulgarly.

At this moment, Xiu Yi appeared, put her arm around Lin Ruoshui's waist and said, "Your waist seems to have gotten a little thicker lately."

When Lin Ruoshui saw Xiu Yi appear, she brought up the fact that her waist had gotten bigger. She said angrily, "That's all because you guys fed me. You still have the nerve to say that. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gained so much weight."

Xiu Yi touched Lin Ruoshui's face with her jade-like fingers and said, "You've gained some weight, but you look even better now, and you feel even better to the touch." Xiu Yi looked her up and down.

Xin'er seemed to have discovered some shocking secret. She shouted, "You two adulterers, having such an ambiguous and illicit affair behind the Prince's back, I must tell the Prince today!"

Xiu Yi turned her head and said, "Oh, isn't this the girl who was rejected by the prince?" She emphasized the word "girl".

Xin'er acted as if she hadn't heard, and shouted recklessly, "You wait, I'm going to tell the Prince right now that neither of you will escape."

Xin'er turned to look for Xuan Yuan Yu, but suddenly she couldn't move. She said nervously, "What do you want to do? My father is General Renault of Pyongyang. If you dare to touch me, my father and the prince will not let you off."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiu Yi shoved a live toad into her mouth.
