Fei Wan did not bring anyone except Gu Ruozhao. She did not plan to go outside the palace to find out the news, but went to the west of the city while it was still early.

She seemed to be searching for something on the street, and finally her eyes stopped on a shop.

Gu Ruozhao's brows moved slightly, and he seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

"His Majesty……"

Fei Wan tilted her head and looked at him when he called her, and said with a smile, "Have you forgotten again?"

Gu Ruozhao was slightly startled, looked at her, and then curled his lips slightly:

"Awan."

Before leaving the palace, Fei Wan told them to pretend to be sisters. Gu Ruozhao was taller than Fei Wan, so Fei Wan reluctantly accepted the role of the younger sister.

Although in terms of age...

Gu Ruozhao was indeed older than her, but doing so was inevitably a bit against the rules.

Fei Wan doesn't care about these things.

only……

His voice was as clear as a spring, and he called her "Awan" so softly.

If others only thought it was the love between sisters, Fei Wan was inexplicably moved.

She put all these thoughts aside and looked towards the shop.

"I know you want to ask me why I'm here. It's actually very simple..."

She smiled at him, dispelling his concerns: "I just want to come here to buy cakes."

"Why……"

Why did you choose this one?

Gu Ruozhao's eyes flickered slightly, but he said nothing in the end.

The king's mind is hard to predict, so he shouldn't ask too many questions.

Fei Wan's lips curled up into a smile.

"Because... you come here every month, I figured there must be something special about the pastries made by this bakery."

Gu Ruozhao raised his eyes.

It seemed as if he couldn't believe she said it so directly.

If you doubted him, how could you be... so frank?

Her smile suddenly caught his eye, and her voice was gentle:

"So... which sweet-scented osmanthus cake do you like?"

Gu Ruozhao's eyes shone slightly.

He seemed to be thinking about something until the woman gently tugged at the corner of his clothes.

His eyelashes drooped slightly and he smiled with his eyes curved.

"I like them all."

…

After Fei Wan bought the pastries, he wandered around outside the palace for a while.

Although Gu Ruozhao was puzzled, he was also watching to see what she was going to do.

The sun sets in the west, and until the setting sun occupies half of the sky, Fei Wan stops this aimless wandering.

There are not many buildings along the river, but there is an extremely magnificent building next to the river in the capital. When Fei Wan arrived there, the lanterns there had already been lit.

The dim river bank seems to be lit up by this, and when reflected by the shimmering water, it creates a unique scenery.

The building was brightly lit, and there was also the sound of lewd music floating out along with the cosmetics, which made people passing by intoxicated.

A good-looking man was standing at the door, looking at the guests.

The man walked forward, waving a fan, his eyes full of charm.

"How do we arrange it for you two guests? In the hall or in the private room upstairs?"

Gu Ruozhao glanced at the man who was speaking, then set his eyes on the woman beside him:

"Is this what you call a... nice place?"

Fei Wan turned around, feeling inexplicably guilty. She coughed and replied, "Sister, that's true, but I came here specially."

It is not convenient to go into details here, Fei Wan explained it very vaguely.

Unexpectedly, while they were talking, the man in front of them suddenly covered his mouth and smiled when he heard Fei Wan's words.

"It's obvious you've come here specifically for Young Master Ling Wu. Sir, have you heard that Young Master Ling Wu will be playing the zither today? Normally... guests wouldn't even be able to see him even if they spent a fortune."

He added, "The view upstairs is clearer. Why don't you two go upstairs?"

Hearing this, Fei Wan opened his eyes wide.

This statement undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.

Her legitimate purpose also became illegitimate.

Gu Ruozhao looked at Feiwan, took Feiwan's hand, and said word by word:

"Ah Wan, since you came all the way here, let's...a private room."

There seemed to be a smile on his lips.

But this smile fell into Fei Wan's eyes,

She felt the temperature around her drop.

Fei Wan felt that his biggest mistake was

I just didn't get here at the right time.
