"Let them wait outside."
Li Xuanyi lowered his head and gently pressed his lips against Su Yumo's, just like the first time they kissed.
Her lips were still as soft as cotton, with her unique fragrance.
He wanted this scent to be smelled by only him.
"Go to sleep if you're tired. I'll come back later."
His eyes were clear and pure, and Su Yumo seemed to see the vast ocean in them.
Every move he made today was shaking her determination to leave the palace.
No, she had to make up her mind.
If I compromise this time, I will have to report to him every time I leave the palace.
If she quarrels with him again one day, she will be trapped here again.
In the past, she could leave whenever she wanted and sleep whenever she wanted. No one cared about her and she could go crazy freely.
She couldn't survive such a confined life for even an hour.
Li Xuanyi's hand stroked his face again and again.
He was betting on her being soft-hearted.
He had gathered from the envelopes he had peeked into that she hated people getting angry at her.
If you take a tough attitude towards her, it will definitely backfire and push her further away.
He is hard. She will only be harder.
She will remember those who are good to her for a long time and make delicious food for them.
He also once asked Jiu Di to steal back the things she had given to others.
It's still in a locked box.
Su Yumo nodded, closed his eyes, and put his hands on his stomach.
Li Xuanyi looked at her for a while.
The candlelight shone on her face, hazy and pretty.
That would be nice, I can see her every day.
Then he got up and went out.
The moment he heard the door open, Su Yumo opened his eyes.
"System, what are they going to say?"
"Zhou Yusheng and the others have been discovered."
"How come it's so fast?"
Only one day has passed.
"There was a traitor among Zhou Yusheng's men. That person sold his information to the golden-armored guards guarding the city gate."
"However, Zhou Yusheng noticed it quickly and moved away, so Li Xuanyi's men were left empty-handed."
It appears that there were no casualties on either side.
"By the way, do you know what the man just wrote in the note he gave me? I'm worried someone is watching me."
"Host, wait a moment. Let the system take a look."
Su Yumo yawned and closed his eyes, "Okay."
"That man said he had rescued the zither player. If you wish to leave the palace to reunite with him, he will take you out of the palace at noon the day after tomorrow. I hope you will be prepared."
"Oh, he also said that if the host eats less these days, his Qinggong will be better utilized and the chances of success will be greater."
Su Yumo's eyes, which had not yet closed, quickly opened and stared as wide as copper bells.
She was completely confused.
"Wait a minute, who is the Lute Master? Why should I reunite with him? Is there anything else you haven't told me?"
The system said earnestly: "Host, don't get angry. It's not good for your health."
Su Yumo almost knelt down in front of her.
"Sister System, I beg you, please don't cheat me again in the future, okay?"
"Could you please print out a copy of the protagonist's biography for me next time? I can just read it myself instead of wasting my breath telling you about it."
"Okay, next time for sure."
Next time, I'll use the old-fashioned trick.
"You mean what you say. Who is this musician?"
"He is the prince consort chosen by Princess Lingyue. At the old emperor's birthday banquet, Princess Lingyue took one look at him and fell in love with him at first sight. She then personally asked the emperor for permission to grant them marriage."
"It was love at first sight, and it was also a carefully considered decision by Princess Lingyue."
"At that time, Princess Lingyue could no longer bear life in the palace. She desperately wanted to leave and marry the zither player. This was the perfect opportunity."
"The zither master has no connection to the imperial power. After the wedding, she can live outside the palace and never have to return to the place where she lost her mother."
"However, the day before the wedding, Li Xuanyi rebelled, so they didn't get to marry."
"Li Xuanyi must have done it on purpose."
"Yes."
"Did he capture the zither player?"
Li Xuanyi is so possessive that he will become jealous if she looks at a male creature for even a second longer.
What’s more, he is a man who was almost going to marry Princess Lingyue.
"The zither player didn't know any martial arts, so that night he was taken away by Li Xuanyi's men and imprisoned. Li Xuanyi also gouged out his eyes and tore out his tendons."
Hearing this, Su Yumo jumped up from the bed as if he had been electrocuted.
"What did you say? He's now..."
The words repeated in her ears, but she couldn't put them into a sentence.
Seeing that Su Yumo was hesitant to tell the horrible truth, the system completed the rest of her words for her.
"He can't walk or see now."
Su Yumo slowly bent his legs, leaned his face on his knees, and sighed softly:
"Li...Xuan...Yi..."
Su Yumo thought he was ruthless because being an emperor did not allow him to have any extra emotions.
His only love was probably for Princess Lingyue and his mother.
But he treated someone so cruelly because of a personal relationship.
Gouging out eyes and pulling out tendons in legs.
How is this different from one-sided abuse?
Usually, if her hand was cut by paper and bled, she would feel pain for a while.
Su Yumo couldn't imagine how much pain this person must have endured.
"Did the man with the fan just now save him from Li Xuanyi?"
There is still a little hope.
"Yes."
"The day after tomorrow, can I become invisible?"
