“You’re all better now.” Consort Lian looked at Rong Shang, her tone still carrying a hint of complaint. “His Majesty dotes on you so much that he would forgive you even if you did something to offend him.”
"But Lord Changxuan is different. He has always liked to target him. If Lord Changxuan takes you away from the palace this time and the emperor finds out, do you know who will suffer?"
"It is Lord Changxuan, and the people of the empire."
If a dispute were to be stirred up by a woman, the scene would be incredibly ugly.
That's why Consort Lian went to Hualian Palace to tell Consort Li the news when she turned to leave Yunhe Palace.
"Then, use me to get rid of Consort Li?" Rong Shang smiled slightly, her eyes filled with interest as she picked up on her words.
Tsk.
You're really clever; to put it another way, you've been incredibly cunning.
Fortunately, all her actions were for the good of certain people.
Even at this moment, Consort Lian could still openly say, "Getting rid of her is for your own good."
"You are the one that all the women in the harem want to get rid of, not me."
The person she loved in her heart was always Hua Changxuan.
Hua Changge was unwilling to touch her, but Consort Lian was happy to be free.
Although sometimes when she looked at Hua Changge's face, she would suddenly think of her beloved.
Although they look the same, they are ultimately not the same person.

Not long after Consort Lian left Yunhe Palace, Hua Changge finally arrived.
Today he was dressed in simple black clothes, his dark hair was neatly combed into a bun and encased in an exquisite white jade hair crown.
After entering the house, he casually handed over the clothes he was carrying.
Rong Shang lowered her eyes and glanced at it, raising an eyebrow. "You want me to wear men's clothing?"
"Hmm." The man responded casually, turning to sit down on the wooden chair. "It's a mixed bag outside, it's safer to dress as a man."
"What if the other person is gay?"
"Hmm?" Hua Changge turned around, his dark eyes showing a hint of confusion. "What?"
"No." Thinking that this place was so different from modern times, Rong Shang smiled. "You wouldn't understand even if I told you."
She obediently took her clothes and went behind the screen to change. When she came out, Hua Changge was looking at the osmanthus cake and two cups on the table, deep in thought.
Hearing her footsteps behind him, Hua Changge slightly turned his head, his jawline sharply defined.
"Has anyone been here?"
"Yes, Consort Lian."
Walking in front of him, Rong Shang raised an eyebrow at him, "Are we leaving now?"
His deep gaze swept over her for a moment.
Hmm, it suits me quite well.
Hua Changge stood up from his seat and said calmly, "Let's go."
He tried to take her hand, but Rong Shang dodged it.
Puzzled, Hua Changge raised an eyebrow.
"I'm a man now."
"..."
"What's the big deal about two grown men holding hands!"
As she finished speaking, a gentle breeze swept by.
The woman—no, the man—had already walked past him and out of Yunhe Palace.
With a touch of helplessness, Hua Changge looked at the retreating figure in front of him and smiled indulgently.

When Hua Changge left the palace this time, she only brought one attendant with her.
When they left the palace and arrived at the bustling market, Hua Changge looked at the people coming and going around him and subconsciously stayed close to her side.
In addition to the ingredients for daily meals, the market also sells rouge, various interesting trinkets, and candied hawthorn berries.
Because of the crowd and noise, Rong Shang didn't get a chance to talk to Hua Changge, and instead casually looked around.
Who knew where her gaze fell, Hua Changge immediately ordered her servants to go up and buy it.
