"Nothing much, just wondering why Fengyin hasn't woken up yet." Jinse idly played with a handkerchief, while not far away, Mel and He Huan were laughing joyfully, their voices delightful to hear.
"Handsome guy? What is that?" Mel smiled, his eyes sparkling with joy as he looked at the giggling He Huan.
"Handsome guy! A handsome guy is mine, and you are too." He Huan said firmly, clenching her small fist as she gazed at Mel's radiant face.
"Is that so?" Mel smiled shyly, looking as if he wanted to say something but held back, truly inviting admiration.
"Go to hell!!" Spiritual Incense walked over and kicked Mel's blushing cheek.
"Princess?! You..." Mel's expression turned slightly angry.
"What? Do you want to be disrespectful? You dare!" Spiritual Incense clapped her hands and pouted. "What kind of monster is that called He Huan?"
Mel remained silent; after all, Spiritual Incense was a princess, a person of great importance.
"You?! You little brat! Rude girl, why did you hit my man?" He Huan stood up and reached out to grab Spiritual Incense's hair. Having never fought anyone before, Spiritual Incense quickly found herself at a disadvantage. "Ah!!! You dare pull the princess's hair? How outrageous!"
Mel anxiously stood by; he hadn't expected Heavenly Reunion to act against Spiritual Incense. After all, disrespecting a princess could lead to severe consequences. He hurriedly tried to pull He Huan away. "He Huan, calm down, don't be like this." Mel wanted to say 'headstrong,' but since it was a girl he admired, he couldn't bring himself to say it. Instead, he wrapped his arms around He Huan to free Spiritual Incense.
Spiritual Incense took a few deep breaths. "Very good! Very good! I've never seen anyone dare to lay hands on me." She then glared at Mel. "Mei Er, are you sure you want to protect her?"
Mel lowered his gaze but still nodded.
"Good." Spiritual Incense was so furious that she could only repeat 'good' over and over. Finally, she bit her finger and shouted, "If I had known earlier, I would have let my royal brother kill you that day!"
With a flick of her sleeve, she left. She was feeling a bit hungry and didn't have the energy to deal with her little follower anymore. Besides, that was no longer her Lingxiang Princess's little follower; her follower had betrayed her after more than ten years!
"Spiritual Incense, take your time eating; there's plenty left." Jinse frowned as she watched Spiritual Incense stuffing food into her mouth. On the table were pastries like Osmanthus Cake, red date lotus root, Lotus Puff, and mint slices that looked delicious. Normally not fond of snacks, Jinse suddenly felt like eating too, so the two girls began to feast in the courtyard.
Meanwhile, in the Xuan Dynasty room, someone was discussing matters with the Mustached Old Man.
"Young master, everything you've instructed has been taken care of. The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion still has some trivial matters; I'll take my leave first." The Mustached Old Man cupped his fists and pocketed some silver notes from the table before heading out. In the courtyard, he couldn't help but glance at Spiritual Incense and Jinse again. Such beautiful girls were truly pleasing to the eye; those young masters were quite fortunate. As an old man now, all those romantic escapades were just memories.
"Jin Zhi, do we still need to find that old man?" Xuan Dynasty stood by the window. "Such a woman is surely a disaster; let her find her own way. We should choose a day to set off for the Elegant Mountain Villa."
"Fengyin is still unconscious." Hibiscus sat at the table, his tea already cold, yet he still lifted the cup and took a light sip.
"Jin Zhi, you know I don't have much time outside. We should find Jinse's father soon to accomplish our purpose." Xuan Dynasty leaned against the window frame, as he was still selecting consorts back in the capital.
"Xuan Brother truly has unparalleled fortune with women," Hibiscus said with a helpless smile. "However, given Fengyin's current situation, it is indeed not suitable to set off. We also need to resolve Mel's obsession."
"Mel is certainly safe; he enjoys his freedom. What does it matter to others?"
"Young Master Xuan, Spiritual Incense..." Jinse stood hesitantly by the door, frowning with uncertainty.
"What’s wrong?" Xuan Li noticed Jinse and sighed inwardly, feeling helpless.
"Spiritual Incense... she went to kill Mel."
"Let her be." If she kills him, then it's over. One day, if he kills Jinse too, it would save him from being tied to her heart. If he cannot have her, he wouldn't want to think about how she might marry and have children in the palace; it would be better to end it all.
"This..." Jinse frowned and looked at Hibiscus.
"Let it go." Her royal brother was not anxious; why should she be? Right now, she only cared about when Fengyin would wake up.
The courtyard was filled with He Huan's cries and shouts. Spiritual Incense remained silent, focused on chopping away.
"Oh my! My stunningly beautiful He Huan has finally crossed over, but I haven't! I don’t want to die!"
"Princess! You!" Mel's voice was filled with anger.
Jinse looked on in fear. "Is something going to happen?"
"It will," Xuan Li said as he stood behind Jinse, inhaling her fragrant hair.
Indeed, just as Xuan Li finished speaking, Spiritual Incense's raised blade struck Mel's arm that was protecting He Huan, immediately drawing blood.
"Mei Er!" Spiritual Incense threw down the knife and cried out, "This princess wants to kill you." He Huan stepped aside, unsure if she was fainting from blood or something else upon seeing the blood. Spiritual Incense glared at her fiercely. "If you keep bothering Mei Er, I'll ruin your looks. Mei Er, does it hurt? You're bleeding." She hurriedly pressed on Mel's wound in a flustered manner.
Unexpectedly, Mel gently pushed her away, saying, "Princess, your precious body is something I cannot bear." After speaking, he turned and left with his injured arm.
Watching Mel's retreating figure, Spiritual Incense couldn't help but burst into tears.
What has happened to this world? Why has her little follower betrayed her?
"Sigh," Jinse softly sighed. "If Mel knew how much the princess cared for him, he would surely be happy. But that Mel is no longer here; I wonder if he still remembers the past. Can feelings just disappear without a trace?"
Xuan Li moved his lips but couldn't bring himself to speak. He wanted to ask Jinse about that night several times, but some things were too difficult for him to express as an emperor. If feelings can vanish just like that, would Jinse's feelings for him also suddenly disappear one day, only to turn to someone else? It felt like something was blocking his heart; perhaps it would be better to just kill her to avoid the pain. But the thought of never seeing her again made his heart ache.
"Jinse."
"Mm?" Jinse turned around, her misty eyes meeting Xuan Li's, and her heart skipped a beat as memories of that chaotic night flooded back, leaving her dry-mouthed. She could only wave her hand and walk away.
That night, her hair had entwined with his body, so gentle and fragrant. After dawn, they became strangers again, just like any other young man and woman.
If she entered the palace, he would definitely make her his consort, becoming her emperor and her sky. But fate does not always align with one's wishes.
Jinse bit her lip as she watched Xuan Li's back; it was frightening. Why did he have to call her so gently? It startled her.
It also reminded her of that night that made her blush; he had called out to Jinse in the same way.
