Although they had the same face, Song Xi could tell at a glance that the General He in front of him was the one who had risked his life to save him when he was a child.

His gaze towards Song Xizhi held a hint of guilt: "I was the one who held you back in the past."

Seeing the subtle intimacy between Song Xizhi and the Crown Prince, He Jingyan told them a lie: "Actually, I... I already have a girl I like on the frontier..."

Song Xizhi believed it to be true and finally felt relieved: "Actually, I also have a man I like in the capital, and I'm about to make him my concubine."

He Jingyan stared wide-eyed in surprise, while Pei Yunyi shook his head helplessly.

He gently raised his eyes and glanced at Song Xizhi again without making a sound, making Song Xizhi's neck itch.

She shrank back, then gave another sly smile.

…………

Once He Jingyan had recovered, the group went to His Majesty's side again.

Emperor Guangqi was very excited and praised everyone. He then dealt with the remaining forces hidden in the capital with great decisiveness, eliminating any possibility of a counterattack from the Empress Dowager and Prince Ning's forces.

He Jingyan also solemnly proposed a divorce from Song Xizhi.

Emperor Guangqi readily agreed, and the imperial edict appointing Song Xizhi as a concubine was delivered to her residence the following day.

The eunuch who was to deliver the imperial decree waited for a long time under the scorching sun at the gate of the mansion, but no one came to receive the decree.

When he stormed into the Song residence with the imperial edict in hand, he found it already empty.

On the table were only a few lines of large characters left by Song Xizhi in a flamboyant style, saying that he had already appointed the crown prince as his concubine.

When the emperor saw the few lines of large characters left by Song Xizhi, he was so angry that he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"A concubine? A concubine? What's that?"

"A married son is like water spilled from a bowl; Pei Yunyi was just willing to become her concubine and leave without hesitation?"

Eunuch Yang nodded cautiously: "He took quite a lot of things with him, and His Highness the Crown Prince seems quite happy."

Emperor Guangqi, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, clutched his throbbing head: "This is utterly horrific! My crown prince has become a concubine? This is absolutely horrific!"

Meanwhile, Song Xizhi and Pei Yunyi had already left the capital.

Bronze and Siqin rode horses, while the Divine Physician Rihua sat in another carriage. In addition, there were three other carriages carrying large and small packages.

Their mission was to search for the whereabouts of the late Empress and Bai Lizi, and to explore the mysterious secrets of hypnosis, human bones, and plastic surgery.

Unusually, this time Pei Yunyi did not ride a horse. Instead, he said he was too tired to ride and sat in the carriage with Song Xizhi.

The wheels rumbled over the mud as the two sat in the dimly lit carriage.

Pei Yunyi looked at the small face so close to his, and enjoyed the tranquility of the moment with immense happiness.

He gently lifted her chin and whispered in Song Xizhi's ear, his hot breath filling her ear.

"My lady, since today is the ceremony for the consort's investiture, when shall we bring him... into the bridal chamber?"

Song Xizhi chuckled and pounced on the man like a hungry tiger: "My concubine must serve me well..."

"Serve me well and I'll promote you!"

The man chuckled, a hoarse voice escaping his throat.
