"Why is your face so red?" Wenren Ya was startled when she saw Fang Ruotang's face, which was so red it looked like it was about to burst into flames. She immediately reached out to touch it and asked anxiously, "Did your hair not dry completely while you were sleeping and you caught a cold? I'll go and get a doctor."

Fang Ruotang pulled Wenren Ya back and touched her burning cheek with the back of her hand, explaining, "Don't worry, I'm fine! How could I, a celestial envoy, get sick?"

Wenren Ya also made a mistake in her panic.

Only then did she realize that Fang Ruotang hadn't come out of her room. She immediately understood and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she led her to the kitchen.

"Let's go get something to eat! It's a small place, there aren't many good ingredients, and I don't know if you'll like the food. If you really can't eat, just have a bite. Wuyou has a lot of good pastries. We'll go find some better ingredients tomorrow."

Jin Wuyou prepared mostly pastries and fruits; she didn't prepare all the dishes in advance, but after this experience, she will prepare them in the future.

"I'm fine with anything!"

Fang Ruotang was still lost in thought.

All he could think about was Ye Wuxia.

He was so big, and I was so small.

Fang Ruotang's face twisted in pain as she thought about many things.

Ye Wuxia, who had changed her clothes and followed, happened to hear this. The flames that hadn't been completely suppressed suddenly reignited, stretching the once-flat robe into a curve.

He coughed awkwardly, glanced at Wenren Ya, afraid that Fang Ruotang would continue to think about it. It was enough for Fang Ruotang to know about his physical condition.

Fang Ruotang turned around, looked at Ye Wuxia, and quickly glanced down. Her face turned even redder. Oh... her eyes were not clean anymore.

Oh, my eyes won't listen to me.

【Gagaga!】

In Fang Ruotang's mind, the little mirror made a sound like a flock of ducks quacking.

He was pleased; his beloved cabbage had finally realized it was time to think about pigs, proving that his recent brainwashing with pornography was indeed effective.

After seeing so many pigs running, who can resist being curious about pork?

When a sage comes, everyone will take a curious look.

Ye Wuxia loosely clenched her fist and placed it to her lips, her face slightly flushed as she said awkwardly, "Go and do other things, I can handle things here."

Affected by the strange atmosphere, Wenren Ya blushed and stammered a few words before quickly running away.

"Just now..." Ye Wuxia began.

Fang Ruotang quickly replied, "I didn't see anything just now, really, I didn't see anything at all."

Ye Wuxia was slightly taken aback, her eyes lowered in dejection.

"I'm the one who's above my station. You don't even respect the Crown Prince, so how could you possibly take responsibility for me?"

"ah?"

Fang Ruotang was dumbfounded and hurriedly poked at the small mirror.

[What nonsense is he spouting? Did I do anything to him?]

You've...become enamored with him.

I didn't, don't talk nonsense!

Fang Ruotang manually blocked the little mirror and decided not to talk to it for an hour. This little mirror was too improper and kept leading her astray.

"But you saw me in my nightgown. Will I ever find a decent girl to be with again?"

"Well... as long as we don't say anything, no one will know, right?" Fang Ruotang hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the situation.

Ye Wuxia raised her slightly lowered eyes and quickly glanced at Fang Ruotang, her surprise clearly visible.

"You mean you want me to go and deceive other girls?"

Fang Ruotang: ...

"It's not a lie! It's just that I could have kept quiet! If you don't tell, why would anyone ask about this kind of thing?" Fang Ruotang fidgeted with her fingers, feeling a little guilty.

Every time she misbehaves and makes a mistake, she will not admit it unless she is caught. In any case, if she is not caught, she will never be wrong.

"But my conscience wouldn't allow it."

"Is it... really that serious? I usually don't feel anything when I lie, except for being a little nervous."

"We are different."

"...Yes! I can see that."

Fang Ruotang sat at the table, her bright eyes following Ye Wuxia nervously. When she saw Ye Wuxia serving her food and chopsticks, a flash of inspiration struck her, and she suddenly thought of a solution.

If he doesn't want to lie, just let him forget about it.

[Do you have any amnesia pills? Give Ye Wuxia one.]

Yes, but are you sure you want it?

Ye Wuxia: ...

Is there anything wrong with his statement?

Or was it an overly euphemistic way of putting it?

His feelings for Fang Ruotang were always complicated; he couldn't let go of her.

His brain was constantly on alert, commanding him to stay away, but his hands and feet never obeyed him. He was very conscious, consciously sinking into depravity, until he could no longer control his instinctive heartbeat.

So he took the initiative. He wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity for the two of them to be alone together during this trip to get engaged.

It was a remark from Prince An that awakened him: since he was destined to be kept in a golden house, why not establish a formal status for himself first?

At least, this way we can gain the upper hand.

"Yes! That way, Ye Wuxia won't feel guilty anymore, and he can happily get married in the future."

[What nonsense are you spouting? Have you forgotten that you need to capture him to complete the mission?]

The little mirror seemed a little resentful, but this slight emotion paled in comparison to Ye Wuxia, who was sitting across from her, eating bitter herbs.

It was supposed to be sweet rice, but once you put it in your mouth, it tasted a hundred times more bitter than bitter melon.

【Go ahead and do it! Just do it until he gets married. Anyway, even if he's gone, there are still five other people, right?】

Fang Ruotang was very generous.

Ye Wuxia couldn't listen anymore. Just as she put down her chopsticks and wasn't about to beat around the bush, the little mirror asked a question first.

He's getting married? Don't you care?

【I don't care! Let him marry if he wants. I can't be so domineering. He clearly has private dealings with the Crown Prince and the others, yet I forbid them from marrying. Of course, they can find other women!】
