Nuonuo didn't need to investigate; it was clear that Ye Li was the cunning mastermind behind this assassination attempt to secure a position in the palace.
Although the assassin was not captured, Ye Li and Nuonuo were rewarded by the Emperor for their bravery in saving him, and were appointed as Imperial Bodyguards.
The ending is a happy one for everyone, except for Nuonuo.
For a whole month, she had to walk in strange postures, sleep on her stomach, and only sit on half of a chair.
Even so, she did not stop and sold the pile of miscellaneous items she bought outside the palace at a high price to the court ladies, while also inquiring about a lot of information regarding the Spiritual Consort.
For example, because the Empress Dowager looked down on the Spiritual Consort's background, the Emperor had no choice but to distance himself from her.
Spiritual Consort It's actually not easy to live in this palace.
At night, Nuonuo came out from the inner palace and suddenly heard someone speaking in a secluded courtyard.
She silently jumped onto the tree and looked curiously, discovering that Ye Li and Spiritual Consort were standing in the courtyard.
The scene of the two standing together under the moonlight was quite pleasing to the eye.
I heard that the Emperor went out of the palace today to pay respects to his ancestors, and he really couldn't hold back any longer. Nuonuo felt a pain in her heart again.
The two seemed to be arguing about something. Nuonuo listened closely and heard Ye Li say that the Emperor was too fickle and pretended not to know she was a woman in order to keep her around, allowing the Spiritual Consort to follow.
It turned out that Ye Li had noticed this as well, but he didn't feel jealous or worried at all, which was truly hurtful. Nuonuo felt increasingly upset.
The Spiritual Consort said loudly that the Emperor was very good. Didn't Ye Li himself also have feelings for Nuonuo?!
Nuonuo felt a surge of joy and perked up her ears, waiting for Ye Li to respond.
At that moment, she saw the Emperor coming around the corner. It seemed he had heard the voices and was approaching this way.
In a moment of desperation, Nuonuo immediately jumped down from the tree, kicking Spiritual Consort into the bushes, and swiftly slapped Ye Li across the face.
The sound of the slap was crisp and loud, like a firecracker going off in the dead of night. Nuonuo shouted, "Ah, you bastard!"
The newly arrived Emperor happened to witness this scene but was left confused. The scream of the Spiritual Consort, who had just been kicked away, was perfectly drowned out by Nuonuo's deliberately prolonged "ah." Everything seemed so seamless.
Ye Li was taken aback, and Nuonuo shot him a meaningful glance, her face filled with exaggerated sorrow. "To get close to you, I disguised myself as a man for ten years. Now you say you want to stay in the palace and serve loyally. From now on, we are severing all ties!"
The emperor's anger on his face turned into surprise, and in the end, there was even a hint of schadenfreude.
Nuonuo covered his mouth, whimpered, and ran away crying.
Ye Li's lips twitched for a long time before he managed to say, "I hope the Emperor finds it amusing."
Nuonuo ran out of the courtyard and immediately climbed up a big tree to hide.
The Emperor pretended to be oblivious and kept both of them, likely because he noticed her affection for Ye Li.
After her performance just now, the Emperor surely had no intention of delving deeper into who was speaking in the courtyard earlier.
Thinking this, Nuonuo suddenly found someone beside her, and she was so startled that she almost fell from the tree. Fortunately, the person quickly grabbed her with agile hands and feet.
The newcomer was Ye Li, who was holding a cloak and wrapped it around her head.
Nuonuo pretended to struggle for a moment and said, "You don't need to thank me; I was just afraid of being implicated by you."
Ye Li sighed and replied, "Although you saved us, your methods were too ruthless."
The "we" he mentioned made Nuonuo's heart shrink a little. Her eyes turned red as she gritted her teeth and turned her head away.
Ye Li chuckled, "It's the first time someone dares to hit me like this, but I still want to say thank you. It's truly amusing."
Nuonuo hurriedly turned to look at him.
In the moonlight, Ye Li's left cheek was swollen significantly.
She felt a pang of guilt, realizing that she had been a bit too rough earlier. She reached out and gently rubbed Ye Li's face. "Does it still hurt?"
Ye Li covered her hand with his palm, his eyes shining with joy, like the brightest star in the night sky. "It's okay. Once everything here is settled, I'll take you away, alright?"
Nuonuo withdrew her hand and let out a cold laugh. "You don't want the Spiritual Consort anymore?"
Ye Li hesitated for a moment. "I took the risk to enter the palace for her, so of course I want to take her with me."
It's another melodramatic scenario of being torn between an old flame and a new love!
Nuonuo was instantly furious and shouted, "You're the real Casanova! You're not even as good as the Emperor!"
She swiftly gave him another slap, which was even crisper and louder, startling the night bird into chaotic flight.
Ye Li watched as Nuonuo jumped down from the tree and left, gritting his teeth and saying each word slowly, "Nuo! Nuo!"
