Chapter 13. Drawing Out the Snake As soon as Wei Zhao left, Gao Jili stealthily crept into the bedroom, "Your Highness, quickly get up and eat your midnight snack."The freshly made mung bean cakes were specially wrapped by him in three layers of oil paper. He carried them in his bosom, and they were still very warm.Behind the bed curtains, Mu Yun, who was concentrating on "feigning unconsciousness," slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were clear and bright. He lazily stretched and yawned before sitting…-

Chapter 12. The Taste of Marrow This time, the killing intent in Wei Zhao's eyes was genuine.The Marquis of Dingbei's wrath, in the northern border, meant rivers of blood and mountains of bones.

Even with mental preparation, it was not something a youth could easily withstand.Mu Yun looked at those sharp, cold, emotionless phoenix eyes and suddenly felt a hollowness in his heart. He instinctively wanted to break free.However,…

Chapter 11. Interrogation Gao Jili stood anxiously at the gate of the Marquis of Dingbei's residence, sweat pouring off him in layers. In just a short while, he had already used up two handkerchiefs.A guard tried to reassure him, "Chief Steward Gao, we're already at the Marquis of Dingbei's residence, why are you even more anxious than when we were on the road?"Gao Jili stamped his foot and sighed, "It's precisely because we've arrived that I'm anxious."His weak, pitiful, and helpless Highness had…

Chapter 10. Nightclothes After resolving the matters in the front, Wei Zhao went to the rear hall to check on Mu Jue.Through the bed curtains, he could vaguely see the young and handsome face, eyes tightly closed, a faint dark green hue covering his usually pale complexion."Has the poison been identified?"Wei Zhao asked.The Chief Imperial Physician held a cotton swab under his nose, carefully discerning the scent. Hearing the question, he said with a worried expression, "That's precisely what I…

Interrogation The spring shirt was thin, and a slight chill immediately seeped through the soft, loose fabric and onto the skin.This method of peeling away layers, like stripping bamboo shoots, tested a person's psychological endurance and willpower.Especially for those Confucian officials who always paid lip service to propriety, righteousness, integrity, and honor, and...Wei Zhao lowered his eyes, staring intently at the youth trapped in his arms....and for these pampered scions of the…

Chapter 8. The Body Search The Crown Prince's guards clenched their fists, instinctively moving to block, but were stopped by Mu Yun's gaze."Stand down. Do not be disrespectful to the Marquis."The youth's tone was gentle, his voice like striking jade. It was neither the arrogance and domineering manner they had imagined nor the dark and violent temper they had anticipated. Instead, it reminded one of the gentle, rippling waters of a Jiangnan spring.Ripple after ripple, scratching at one's heart.Wei…

Chapter 2. Beyond Reproach "Master~" "Master~"The soft, sweet voice, like a kitten's paws, scratched at one's heart.It was also like a mouthful of sticky syrup, threads upon threads, lingering on the throat, a sweetness that reached the very core of one's heart.The pear blossoms of March were in full bloom, jade-white and lustrous. The young boy standing beneath the tree with a sword, his eyes like gemstones, meticulously carved from jade, a cute bundle made of snow, was even more pleasing to the…

Chapter 1. The Crown Prince With the passing of the last wave of late spring cold, the imperial capital truly warmed.Early in the morning, Gao Jili led the servants of the Crown Prince's residence in preparing the day's attire for His Highness."This one is too dull in color; this one's fabric isn't quite comfortable. Let's go with the moon-white one; the style is flattering, and it accentuates the waist. Take it and have it pressed properly. There must not be a single wrinkle."He was a veteran of…

Meeting Wei Zhao also hadn't expected to encounter such a troublesome matter as soon as he returned to the capital.His gaze swept coldly across the room, finally landing on the handsome youth sitting in the first seat on the left, who was still lowering his head and drinking wine. His phoenix eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of chill.Based on the various information provided by the secret guard, he couldn't help but suspect that this matter was related to the little Crown Prince. After…
