However, parting is easy, but reunion is difficult. Who knows when we will meet again?

I promised Sikong Mo I would go see him as soon as possible, but I didn't keep my promise, did I?

Helplessly struggling and toiling in the vortex of this era, unable to control the turbulent times, one can only grit one's teeth and keep up with the pace and trends of the times, trudging alone through this torrential mud.

A proud person never easily bows down and admits defeat. In order to protect her beliefs, she can also openly gamble her life on the table and embark on a free and unrestrained life.

This is her—

Sikong Jin!

A faint, cold smile appeared on his lips. He tilted his head back and drank another cup. Just as he was about to pick up his chopsticks to taste the dishes, an uninvited guest appeared opposite him.

……

"Long time no see, Lord Sikong!"

With a gentle smile on his refined face, Tuoba Yu sat down directly opposite Sikong Jin.

Sikong Jin was taken aback. A gloomy and ruthless glint flashed in the depths of her eyes, but it was so fleeting that no one could notice it. She raised her eyebrows slightly and a bright smile appeared on her face.

"Long time no see, Third Prince!"

She glanced at the bright moonlight outside the window, leisurely picked up an empty cup, slowly filled it with wine, and said lightly, "With such a beautiful moon, since we're here, let's have a few drinks together."

As he spoke, he handed the full glass of wine to Tuoba Yu.

Tuoba Yu smiled, looked at Sikong Jin thoughtfully for a while, then nodded slightly and chuckled softly, "Was this meal paid for by Lord Sikong?"

Sikong Jin raised her eyebrows, raised her cup to him, and smiled, "Of course. The Third Prince has been in my Great Yong for many days, and we have some kind of connection. It is only right that I extend my hospitality as the host."

Tuoba Yu smiled without answering, raised his glass, and downed it in one gulp.

Sikong Jin put down her wine cup, picked up her chopsticks, pointed at the dishes, indicating to Tuoba Yu to eat as he pleased, while she herself began to eat without any restraint.

However, after eating several bites of food, Tuoba Yu across from him did not touch his chopsticks. He simply picked up the wine pot and silently poured wine.

Sikong Jin ignored him and continued eating and drinking.

The two remained silent.

She ate and drank, and Tuoba Yu watched her eat, sometimes taking a sip of wine, sometimes pouring her more.

"Have your injuries healed?"

After a long silence, Tuoba Yu finally broke the silence, asking in a low voice, his gentle eyes containing a hint of concern, "I didn't know that person was you..."

These words had been spoken for a long time, but Sikong Jin on the other side did not react at all.

"Sikong Jin..."

Tuoba Yu called out again in a low voice, his gaze towards Sikong Jin shifting unpredictably, appearing strange and complex.

"What do you mean, 'that guy'? He was just drunk and got dragged into an alley and beaten up by those people. It's nothing serious. You know, in this capital city, because of my talent and good looks, a lot of people don't like me. Getting beaten up is what I deserve. Who told me not to be a low-key, luxurious, cultured, and well-mannered person?"

Sikong Jin shrugged helplessly, pretending not to understand Tuoba Yu's words, and said with a self-deprecating tone.

Tuoba Yu smiled but remained silent, his deep eyes fixed on Sikong Jin for a long time, without pressing for answers or trying to figure things out.

He firmly believed that the person he saw that night was Sikong Jin, and he had always thought that Sikong Jin was no ordinary person, but definitely a remarkable individual!

This person has many secrets worth exploring, and he is very interested in him.

Tuoba Yu made no attempt to hide his meaningful gaze. He slowly picked up his wine cup, took a sip, and laughed, "It seems that the security in the capital of Dayong is not very good, that it could have injured Lord Sikong so badly."

Sikong Jin sneered, "The capital city has indeed been in some chaos lately. If I find out which bastard ambushed me, I don't care if he's a man or a woman, I will throw him into the military camp to serve as a military concubine, and then skin him alive, tear him apart, grind his bones to dust."

Tuoba Yu was taken aback, a glint of light appearing in his eyes. He tentatively smiled and said, "Lord Sikong is truly a man who hates evil, which I greatly admire. I find it very pleasant to be with someone of your temperament. If Lord Sikong were a woman, I would certainly propose marriage directly to the Sikong family and marry you as my princess consort."

"I also wish I were a woman. You are so handsome and extraordinary, and there is that Crown Prince of the Northern Empire. Marrying any one of you would be a great honor for a woman. It's just a pity that fate has made me so tragic. I was born a boy, and what's worse, I look like this, neither male nor female, a transvestite. Several times, I have been mistaken for a woman and almost slept with by those men. You are a man too, you should know what it feels like to be humiliated and lose your manhood."

Sikong Jin sighed wistfully, looking sad and helpless. "To defend my dignity as a man, I can only numb myself with this strong liquor, frequently going to brothels to find courtesans... Sigh, why am I telling you all this? You're a high and mighty prince, of course you wouldn't understand the feelings of a fallen and destitute young master like me. What's the point of talking about male dignity now? Get the hell out of here! Without power, everything is worthless. I can't even protect my own woman... Come, let's drink. Let's go find some courtesans together later. I heard a really hot girl came to Xianghua Brothel, from beyond the Great Wall, passionate and unrestrained, irresistible, but a bit of a hypocrite... Those kinds of women are the best at pretending. Tonight, my brother and I will take turns. I'll go first, then you can rest and see how good I am..."

After several drinks, Lord Sikong started rambling on and on, spitting saliva all over the table. He was vulgar, irritable, and loud, drawing disdainful glances from the guests on either side.

Tuoba Yu couldn't listen any longer and quickly interrupted her, "I heard that the Ninth Princess has also left the capital of Dayong?"

How can he possibly believe his own suspicions when someone can say something so shameless?

There are plenty of men who are born with feminine features. Wasn't the famous Crown Prince of the Northern Empire cold and beautiful, so alluring that he captivated people's hearts and his demeanor amazed the world?

That man's appearance far surpassed that of any stunning woman in the world. His wisdom, his domineering presence, and his kingly aura that held the world in his grasp made it impossible for anyone to doubt his gender.

And now, Sikong Jin is the same...

“Girls always miss their parents. It’s good for her to spend a few more years with her father. After she marries me, she will have to be a good wife and mother and will no longer be free. As a man who loves her deeply and understands the greater good, I understand her very well.”
