Linyuan saw her standing there in a daze from the side and immediately scrambled to put on some clothes, awkwardly clearing his throat and coughing a few times. The man by the bed quickly stepped forward with a smile to explain, “Su Luan, please don’t misunderstand. I was just administering acupuncture to His Majesty.”
Upon closer inspection, Linyuan indeed had several fine silver needles on his back, and after an afternoon, his face, which had been swollen like a steamed bun, looked much better, at least allowing a hint of his former handsome appearance to show through.
However, when Su Luan saw the man's face, her mouth dropped open wide enough to fit an egg.
He looked like the imperial physician, with a faint scent of medicine about him. But more importantly, he looked exactly like her master—Mo Zhe Shangxian!
Mo Zhe, Linyuan, and even she—Su Luan—all looked the same as they did in the Celestial Realm, with names that were identical. Everything felt like a setup; she had been deliberately placed here for some undisclosed purpose.
In her daze, Mo Zhe seemed to have left, yet she remained standing there in a stupor. Linyuan darkened his face and coughed heavily in displeasure, but she remained oblivious until a naked body appeared before her.
The owner of the body was exposing his upper half, truly a sight to behold. If only it weren’t for Linyuan’s clouded and furious face…
She frowned slightly, full of confusion as she asked, “Why are you taking off your clothes?”
“Why are you staring at Mo Zhe?” Linyuan’s expression was grim, his eyes flashing with anger.
“None of your business!” she replied ungraciously. “Put your clothes on!”
“Jin Yi, you’ve really grown bold! Help me put on my clothes; otherwise, I’ll stay naked!” He gritted his teeth, his voice almost squeezed out between them.
After all, he was the emperor; his outburst made her instinctively shrink her neck. The next moment, she truly gave in and reached for the clothes on the rack. But as she moved, something suddenly fell to the ground. She looked down in confusion and gasped in shock.
What had fallen was a jade pendant that looked exactly like the one worn by the murderer she had seen just before falling into the Jade Pool in the Celestial Realm! Could it be that Linyuan had pushed her?
She was completely bewildered.
Tossing and turning all night long, as soon as dawn broke the next day, she took the waist token given to her that signified imperial presence and smoothly made her way out of the palace.
She was going to meet Mo Zhe.
She had previously learned that he lived in a large mansion outside the palace, so she asked for directions all the way and finally found the mansion.
The door was opened after just three knocks, and Mo Zhe looked at her, his eyes wide with surprise.
Since her master died, she hadn't seen this face again. The emotions were too complex; as soon as she entered the room, her eyes turned red, and she tightly embraced him.
But unexpectedly, before she could burst into tears, a beautiful woman with white hair suddenly ran out from inside and forcefully pulled them apart.
She gasped in surprise, while Mo Zhe rarely showed panic as he shouted at the woman, "What are you doing out here! What if someone sees you!"
Only then did the woman cover her head of white hair in astonishment.
Su Luan felt a bit confused, but Mo Zhe urgently pleaded with her, "She is from the White-Haired Clan. Everyone in the city says they are ill-fated people. If anyone finds out about her existence, I'm afraid..."
She immediately understood.
This woman was from a different race; if discovered, she would likely be executed on the spot. Yet her master had hidden this woman for over a decade out of love, and no one knew of her existence until she accidentally stumbled upon it.
She quickly vowed to keep it a secret.
But the next moment, a loud commotion of footsteps suddenly came from outside!
Mo Zhe was horrified as he shoved the woman back into the room. She unhesitatingly rushed out first to block those trying to enter.
However, as soon as she opened the door, a figure suddenly hugged her tightly. She struggled desperately to break free from that person's embrace but inadvertently looked into Linyuan's stormy eyes.
In the end, she was dragged back to the palace by him.
However, as soon as he entered the chamber, he slammed the door shut and turned to glare at her fiercely.
She felt a chill run through her as he stared at her, and cautiously said, "Why... why are you so angry?"
"What do you think!"
He shouted, "Your audacity is growing bolder; you took my token and left the palace. I was worried about your safety and searched everywhere, only to find out you went to see Mo Zhe! Tell me, what do you mean by this?"
She was speechless, unable to respond for a long time.
She hadn't thought much of the situation until he brought it up, but now she felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.
Linyuan looked at him deeply for a moment before suddenly turning and striding away.
Instinctively, she reached out to grab him, but ended up grasping nothing.
On the table lay freshly cooked Chinese Mitten Crab, steaming hot.
She touched her empty stomach, feeling a loss of appetite for the first time.
In the middle of the night, faint rustling sounds could be heard…
