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

The sun is still the same as yesterday, and the roosters are still the same as yesterday, waking up those who went to work early yesterday.

Lin Ruoshui slightly opened her eyes and looked at the simple furnishings in Xuan Yuan Yu's room. She knew that it had been changed back again.

There was no surprise, no anger; Lin Ruoshui's ability to accept things was just that strong.

The one in the palace was not so calm. When Xuanyuan Yu woke up, he found himself lying on the dragon bed again. He looked down at his body, which was not wearing the fake skin.

He knelt up, preparing to have the fake skin applied. He was stiff all over, his face flushed, and his heart was pounding; he swallowed hard.

Xuanyuan Yu slowly raised his head, and blood started flowing from his nose.

He quickly put on the fake skin, donned the dragon robe, and fled the dragon bed.

During the morning court session, a hint of embarrassment appeared on the emperor's usually cold face.

Before the eunuch could even speak, Xuanyuan Yu said, "If you have something to say, speak now; otherwise, the court is adjourned." Then he stood up to leave.

Dingguo Company Tu Yu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this old minister has something to attend to."

Xuanyuan Yu glared at the Duke of Dingguo 1300 times before sitting back on the dragon throne and asking, "What is it?"

The Duke of Dingguo knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, you have not favored any of your concubines in the three years since you ascended the throne, and you have no heir. If this continues, I fear it will shake the foundation of the nation. I beg Your Majesty to heed my words and produce an heir for the Chishui Kingdom as soon as possible, so that the lineage may continue."

"Isn't the Duke of Dingguo's legitimate daughter Empress Situ Qing? Is the Grand Tutor worried about his daughter? Is he trying to get the Empress to give birth to a prince as soon as possible so that you can kill me, support your young son to ascend the throne, and use the emperor to command the princes?" The Emperor angrily rebuked the Duke of Dingguo.

Upon hearing the Emperor's words, the Duke of Dingguo hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, vehemently denying it.

The Duke of Dingguo wept uncontrollably, crying as he said, "Your Majesty, I, Situ Yu, am utterly loyal, as Heaven and Earth can attest! You have wronged this old minister!"

"I understand your loyalty, but I am still young, the country has just been stabilized, the world is at peace, and the people live in contentment. I believe everyone understands that women can lead to the downfall of a country. If I were to become obsessed with women and neglect my duties, would that be what you all want to see?"

"I have a plan regarding my favoritism towards the concubines in the harem. No one should speak of this further. Anyone who speaks of my family affairs will be punished with 100 lashes, confiscation of their property, and exile," Xuan Yuan Yu said firmly.

The ministers knelt and replied, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

"Dismiss the court!" Xuan Yuan Yu snorted and turned to leave.

Tu Yu of Dingguo Company straightened up, clenched his fists, narrowed his eyes, and a barely perceptible killing intent appeared in his eyes.

Lin Ruoshui stood still, and she happened to notice the murderous intent in Situ Yu's eyes.

Zhang Quan arrived and led Lin Ruoshui to the Emperor's bedroom.

"Your Majesty, are you so free? Don't you need to review memorials?" Lin Ruoshui teased Xuan Yuanyu.

Xuanyuan Yu looked at his own face in front of him, then gazed into those deep eyes, as if he could see Lin Ruoshui through them.

Lin Ruoshui recalled that yesterday, a little thing called "awkward" suddenly appeared, playfully darting back and forth between her and him.

Looking at Xuan Yuan Yu's face, Lin Ruoshui realized that this meant her body would be completely exposed to this man, and she became excited.

"Remember this, you're not allowed to use this body to bathe anymore, understand?" Lin Ruoshui warned Xuan Yuan Yu, pointing at him.

“I’ve always been a clean person, and I can’t change that. I have to shower every day.” Xuan Yuan Yu’s icy face curled into a playful, mischievous smile.

“If you dare to shower every day, then I’ll shower every day too,” Lin Ruoshui retorted.

Xuanyuan Yu was so angry that he was practically fuming. He gritted his teeth and said, "If you dare let others see my body, your secret will be exposed to the world."

"What's so interesting about that? Are you afraid the girl will find out you're too young and be disliked? If you reveal my secret and you're still in this body, you'll die too," Lin Ruoshui retorted sharply.

Xuanyuan Yu asked in shock, "You've seen me?"

Lin Ruoshui felt a little embarrassed, but she pretended to be disdainful and said, "After watching it, it didn't interest me at all."

"What did you say?" Xuan Yuan Yu suppressed his anger and threatened through gritted teeth.

A moment of silence followed! Xuan Yuan Yu went outside for a walk to relax.

After calming down, Xuanyuan Yu returned to his bedchamber and said to Lin Ruoshui, "We must cooperate to find out the reason for the soul swap and keep each other's secrets. Only in this way can we avoid mutual destruction. I believe you don't want to die either, do you?"

Lin Ruoshui noticed that Xuan Yuan Yu's attitude had softened, so she stopped arguing with him.

"Do you have a way to avoid switching back?" Lin Ruoshui asked.

"No, we need to find the answer together," Xuan Yuan Yu said sincerely.

Lin Ruoshui said, "Okay, although I have no clue what to do, I really want to switch back now."

Xuanyuan Yu was puzzled by Lin Ruoshui's change in attitude. He had clearly said yesterday that he didn't want to be the emperor, but he didn't expect that he would want to be the emperor again today.

"You said that if water and kisses can switch our souls back, then if we're not in the moat, could we switch them back in the water? We could try it. We could be in the water during the day, and maybe the time we spend using our own bodies each day would be longer." Xuan Yuan Yu thought with a wild imagination.

Lin Ruoshui thought Xuan Yuan Yu's words made sense, so she started to take off her clothes. Xuan Yuan Yu was startled and asked her what she was doing.

Lin Ruoshui grinned mischievously and pinched Xuan Yuan Yu's chin, her hot breath spraying onto his face. She said in a seductive tone, "Like mandarin ducks playing in the water!"

When Xuanyuan Yu saw Lin Ruoshui using his face to seduce him, he felt a mix of emotions.

"Don't make such disgusting faces on my face," Xuan Yuan Yu said coldly, turning his back.

"Okay, let's go to the hot springs then. Let's try closing our eyes," Lin Ruoshui said casually and without a care in the world.

Xuanyuan Yu's eyes darkened, and he went to the hot spring without looking back.

Lin Ruoshui, who didn't want to switch back but just wanted to verify her guess, followed Xuan Yuanyu to the hot spring.

Xuanyuan Yu entered the hot spring fully clothed, while Lin Ruoshui took off her outer garment, put on her inner garment, came to the edge of the hot spring, pinched her nose, and jumped into the hot spring.

The deepest part of the hot spring is 150 centimeters deep, and Lin Ruoshui's head is still sticking out when she sits inside.

Lin Ruoshui beckoned to Xuan Yuanyu with her finger and said, "Hurry up and try it, see if my guess is right?"

Xuanyuan Yu slowly walked over, covered Lin Ruoshui's eyes with his hands, and sealed her lips with his.

This time there were no aphrodisiacs, no thrill of jumping into the moat, and no contact in other areas. The two only touched lips to lips. Soon, Lin Ruoshui opened her eyes and saw Xuan Yuan Yu's face in front of her.

Lin Ruoshui was overjoyed and spoke in a charming, melodious voice, "Xuanyuan Yu, we've switched back."

Xuanyuan Yu opened his eyes. Sunlight shone on Lin Rushui's face. Her skin was smooth and flawless, without any pores. Even the tiny downy hairs exuded a bewitching aura. This delicate face, no bigger than a palm, was so beautiful!

Xuanyuan Yu was stunned!
