October 19th, midnight.

In the princess's bedroom, Hua Qingcheng's heavenly music continued.

Although the handsome man on the bed had wet his pillow with tears, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, showing that he was extremely happy at the moment.

Yaoqin's space is relatively still. The warm time spent by the four people in the family reunion in the dream is much longer than the actual time that has passed.

Since Hua Qingcheng didn't know what the Tianlong Temple in Zhaoyang Kingdom looked like, the scenes that Mu Lige saw in his dream were all imagined by Hua Qingcheng.

After the family reunited in the temple, they went to many places.

Or walking along the bustling streets, watching the people coming and going, or browsing various shops, or dining in the elegant rooms of luxurious restaurants, or chatting quietly in a tranquil and elegant courtyard, or wandering in the countryside, feeling the breath of nature...

In the dream, there were the warm, loving and concerned gazes of Su Mutiansheng and Gongsun Muxue, as well as the laughter and joy of little Mu Lige and little Wuchen playing and chasing each other.

Seeing the happy smile on Mu Lige's face, Hua Qingcheng played the song "Flowing Clouds" over and over again, hoping to make this man who had experienced so much hardship and had a heart full of bitterness happy for a while longer...

Although the sound of the piano coming from the Princess's bedroom in the Eastern Palace would not reach other palaces, Han Shuying, who was passing by outside the palace, stopped unconsciously when she vaguely heard the soul-stirring music.

Eighteen years!

Although it was eighteen years since she heard the same piano sound again, Han Shuying recognized it immediately.

Back then, a piece of music by the Dongyang Lake that was so stunning that it made Han Shuying fall in love with the person playing it. When she pushed through the crowd and saw Ouyang Yuming standing in front of the zither by the lake, Han Shuying immediately fell hopelessly in love with him.

Previously, Han Shuying had asked Ouyang Yuming that she wanted to hear him play the song again, but Ouyang Yuming declined on the grounds that he had forgotten the music score.

After all, this song was not written by Ouyang Yuming, and he had never played it before. Moreover, the difficulty of playing this song was extremely high. Of course, he could not practice such a song just for Han Shuying.

"Isn't this Master Ouyang's song? Why is it appearing in the East Palace? And judging from where the sound is coming from, it should be the Crown Princess's bedroom..."

On the roof of a palace outside the East Palace, Han Shuying looked in the direction of the princess's bedroom with a little confusion.

Zuo An, in the eastern wing of the Princess's bedroom, sensed the presence of an outsider on the rooftop of the palace next to the East Palace. However, his mission was simply to protect Mu Lige and, incidentally... to protect the woman who owed him so much (in case she died and he had nowhere to collect the debt). As long as the visitor didn't set foot in the East Palace, what they intended to do was none of his business.

Qiongyu Palace, Ouyang Yuming's bedroom.

On the large pearwood bed, under the warm hibiscus tent, there were two naked figures entangled together.

"Huanhuan, you are so bad..."

Ouyang Yuming pouted and slapped the woman who did whatever she wanted to him.

"Mingming, if a woman is not bad, men will not love her..."

Yu Lianhuan smiled wickedly, raised her hand and pinched Ouyang Yuming's face, then gently bit his earlobe, making him giggle. Her pair of hands with slightly calloused skin kept wandering over the man below, causing him to tremble slightly all over.

Ouyang Yuming, who was aroused to the point of burning desire, hugged the woman tightly and let her make love with him again and again.

As soon as Han Shuying arrived at Ouyang Yuming's bedroom, she heard bursts of lewd sounds coming from inside. When she came in, she saw him making love with another woman in bed, busy and having a lot of fun.

"Master Ouyang, who is she?"

Han Shuying frowned slightly, and her beautiful eyes were full of hurt as she looked at Ouyang Yuming, who was lying naked on the bed hugging another woman.

"Han Shuying?"

"Why are you here again?"

Ouyang Yuming looked at the crimson figure outside the gauze curtain with a little displeasure.

Although this woman is very beautiful, she has not completed any of the things she promised to do, and now she has lost her status as the master of Xuanyi Valley. To Ouyang Yuming, Han Shuying has no other use to him except for the happiness she can bring him with her body.

"Master Ouyang, let me ask you, who is that woman on the bed?"

Han Shuying's eyes were filled with jealousy, and she looked at the woman who was hugging Ouyang Yuming on the bed with a very unfriendly look.

"Mingming, who is this guy?"

Yu Lianhuan pinched Ouyang Yuming's waist as a punishment, causing him to grumble again.

"Huanhuan, she is an admirer of mine, but... she is too useless, not as good as you!" Ouyang Yuming hugged one of Yu Lianhuan's arms and acted coquettishly towards her.

"It's just that my Mingming is so beautiful that she inevitably attracts a lot of admirers..."

Yu Lianhuan pinched Ouyang Yuming's waist again, then his eyes suddenly turned cold and he threw a dart out of the tent.

Yu Lianhuan was not unaware of Han Shuying's arrival, but she simply ignored him. Furthermore, Ouyang Yuming was a bit of a playboy, so it was time for him to tone it down.

“Swoosh~”

Seeing a dart coming towards her, Han Shuying quickly turned around to avoid it, and the dart directly hit a big red pillar.

"You...are you from the Jade Maiden Sect of the Rakshasa Sect?"

Han Shuying pulled the dart out from the pillar, looked towards the bed, and her face darkened slightly.

Considering the way Master Ouyang addressed that woman just now...so, that woman is the leader of the Jade Maiden Sect of Luosha Sect - Yu Lianhuan!

"You have some knowledge!" The woman on the bed sneered and said leisurely.

"Master Ouyang, why... do you treat me like this?"

Han Shuying looked at Ouyang Yuming, who put on his coat and got up from the bed, and the jade chain behind him with a look of great pain.

"Eighteen years ago, we met at Dongyang Lake. Ever since I heard Master Ouyang's piano playing, I've fallen in love with you at first sight. For eighteen years now, I've remained devoted to you, even... even for you, I've had no time to care for my own son..."

Han Shuying covered her aching heart, as if she didn't recognize the handsome man in front of her.

"Han Shuying, you keep saying that you fell in love with me at first sight, but you can't even tell people apart. It's really ridiculous!" Ouyang Yuming said sarcastically.

"Master Ouyang, you...what do you mean?"

Thinking of the piano music she had just heard outside the East Palace, Han Shuying suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at Ouyang Yuming in disbelief.

"What do you mean?" Ouyang Yuming chuckled. "I... have never played the zither by Dongyang Lake. Back then, I was just tired from walking, so I sat on a chair by the lake to rest my feet..."

"You...you mean, the person playing the piano by the Dongyang Lake that year was not you?" Han Shuying looked shocked.

"I never said that I was the one playing the piano..."

Ouyang Yuming opened his thin lips slightly, and his short words struck Han Shuying's soul like a sharp sword.

"Puff~"

Han Shuying, who was so angry that his heart was overwhelmed, spat out a mouthful of blood.
