The night was as deep as water when the wind rustled and blew.

Commandery Princess Jingle quietly followed Gu Yunxi and Zhiqi, keeping herself a safe distance away from them.

Along the way, she even took off her shoes, just in case some sounds made herself exposed.

In the banquet by Jinli Lake, she realized something strange.

Soon after Huanan He left his seat, Gu Yunxi should also leave.

Immediately, she felt skeptical.

It seemed that they would go somewhere and quietly have an assignation.

Commandery Princess Jingle tried to refrain her ceaseless ache as if she had been burned by the fire. She tailed after Gu Yunxi, trying to find something.

In the moonlight, she walked in the path for a while. Then she found Zhiqi suddenly squatting and going into the left alley with Gu Yunxi.

The alley led to Ruyi Gallery!

Commandery Princess Jingle stopped for a while. But when she just looked ahead, she saw Gu Yunxi alone in the path in the moonlight. Gu Yunxi wore a pink cloak embroidered with flowers, quietly and elegantly walking.

Ah! Before doing a bad thing, she didn't forget to let her maid go!

Commandery Princess Jingle clenched her fists and anxiously gritted the teeth. She refrained the impulse to rush to kick Gu Yunxi, patiently following her along the way.

Suddenly, sounds of crack occurred on her back. As plenty of fireworks burned in the air, it was in brilliant colors there, which made the ground as bright as the day.

The second round of firework happened.

Commandery Princess Jingle paid all her attention to Gu Yunxi in front of her, so when the firework just happened, she trembled and was blank for a while.

As plenty of colorful lights shed, the spreading rays illuminated the high wall in front of Commandery Princess Jingle.

But she didn't know when Gu Yunxi should disappear from her vision.

Had she lost track of Gu Yunxi? It was impossible...

Commandery Princess Jingle thought and walked faster with abundant anxiety.

Until she walked to the wall, she didn't realize it was the rear wall of Ruyi Gallery. If she turned right and walked around, she could walk to the front door.

Ruyi Gallery was the place to draw damsels who would dedicate themselves to the Emperor.

When Gu Yunxi went into the Palace, she was loved by Huanan Xin. During the two years, no new damsel had ever joined the imperial harem. Now Ruyi Gallery was almost a useless place.

Could it be that Gu Yunxi and Huanan He carried on a clandestine love affair in Ruyi Gallery?

Commandery Princess Jingle didn't hesitate. Instead, she took her shoes in one hand and quickly walked around two walls, arriving at the front door of Ruyi Gallery.

Sure enough, the wooden door painted with red bats was half-opened.

Commandery Princess Jingle turned around and walked into the place. She crawled and went through the yard, directly going to the dark front hall in front of her.

Before she reached the porch, she heard a woman's whoop and a man's breathe occurring in a particular rhythm from the closed windows.

Commandery Princess Jingle was astonished, and then she covered her lips with a hand to stop the scream. She went backward when she tried to let her body steady.

As her heart violently beat, her astonished face turned to be pale in the brilliant firework. She felt complexed, which made her heartbroken and indignant in the chest.

"So... They betrayed His Majesty." Commandery Princess Jingle thought.

As some transparent and cold tears shed from her eyes, Commandery Princess Jingle quietly turned around, rushing out of the yard.

In front of Ruyi Gallery, Gu Yunxi appeared from a willow's back, quietly seeing Commandery Princess Jingle rushing and leaving. Then she calmly raised her hands and lifted her cloak down, being brilliant in her watery eyes.

...

Commandery Princess Jingle gasped and breathed, going back to Imperial Garden. When she went into the pavilion by Jinli Lake, Huanan Xin was leaning on the chair and indifferently seeing General Yuancang and Huanan He greeting each other.

When the second round of firework occurred, Gu Yunxi didn't go back. As a result, Huanan Xin felt so bored.

Commandery Princess Jingle was instantly stunned, blankly seeing Huanan He in silver hair talking with General Yuancang. She felt it was so incredible.

"How strange! Is he carrying on a clandestine love affair with Gu Yunxi in Ruyi Gallery?"

"How could it be...?" Commandery Princess Jingle thought.

Huanan He wore a blue gown embroidered with clouds and lightning, which was different from the garment when he went out of the pavilion. But Commandery Princess Jingle still couldn't believe Huanan He just went somewhere to wear a new gown.

However, Imperial Garden was a short distance from Ruyi Gallery. Even if Huanan He could take a short from riffles and wells, he who was indulged in making love with Gu Yunxi couldn't go back to the banquet faster than her!

The only answer was that the man who made love with Gu Yunxi was not Huanan He.

Thinking so, Commandery Princess suddenly felt happy.

"Good! The v*xen really makes a silly thing!"

"A woman with two marriages should be so cheeky. At first, she tempted His Majesty and became a concubine in Palace. But she didn't be satisfied, as she should dare to hook Ninth Uncle."

"When she had confused both of them, she should try to seduce another man."

"I will tell it to His Majesty. Ninth Uncle is just there, so later when we find the v*xen, he could really know her evil thoughts and misconducts."

At the banquet, people saw Commandery Princess Jingle inelegantly rushing into the pavilion. Besides, she took her shoes in hand. All of a sudden, they were astonished and stopped acting, just staring at her.

General Yuancang laughed and pointed at Commandery Princess Jingle, saying some words to Huanan Xin in the host seat.

When the interpreter heard that, he also violently laughed.

"Your Majesty, General Yuancang asks what dance is the dancer preparing to perform that requires stripping off shoes?"

Huanan Xin blushed and embarrassedly looked at General Yuancang, turning his green face with refrained anxiety to look at Commandery Princess Jingle. He seriously rebuked.

"Ridiculous! Ying'er, what are you doing? Have you known you are a Commandery Princess?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have an important thing to tell you."

Commandery Princess Jingle shifted her delicate eyes, glancing at Huanan He in silver hair. Seeming to gloat and smile, she shifted her eyes and squatted to take on the shoes.

Huanan Xin anxiously frowned and indifferently waved hands to her.

"Now that you have glutted yourself, you just go to other places. You can say the thing tomorrow."

"No! The thing is related to your beloved concubine!"

Commandery Princess Jingle stood up and blurt out, insisting to say.

"Yunxi?"

When a flicker of hesitation occurred in Huanan Xin's handsome face, he slightly shifted his eyes to the man in the first seat under him.

Huanan He was calm, just drinking and eating. The indifferent appearance was just normal indeed.

Seeing Huanan Xin saying nothing, Commandery Princess Jingle stepped to the imperial table, getting close to him and whispering.

It was quiet there when people blankly looked at each other. All of them were astonished and surprised.

"What happened?"

"It is Concubine Yun."

In the concubine seats, some mutters gradually appeared. Those yentas were used to talking about strange things, so when they heard about the thing related to Concubine Yun in Jingyang Palace, they couldn't easily let the good material go.

"Ah, what happened to her? When Concubine Yun goes out, the honor guards with 20 members must escort her. Could it be that she falls into a well?"

"Shut up! You see. His Majesty appears to be a little unhappy..."

Being reminded by one person, those concubines raised their heads. They really saw Huanan Xin listening and having various expressions on his face. Then he suddenly widened his dark eyes as some gloomy lights occurred in his eyes.

Huanan Xin violently pushed Commandery Princess Jingle away, shifting his eyes as sharp as the blade to the empty seat beside Mrs. Yuancang. Then he slowly closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, Huanan Xin ordered Liang Zhen in a slight voice.

"You let Yue Xilou lead ten Imperial Guards to go to the outside of pavilion and wait there."

Then he changed to smile and look at people under him, saying in a clear voice.

"All guests and members, you just eat and drink at ease. I have something to deal with, and I will leave for a while."

The man in silver hair casually stood up, pretending to be concerned in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, are you okay? Need I go with you?"

Huanan Xin strode with hands held on his back, ordering in a gloomy voice.

"No, you and Wang Can just accompany the envoy."

...

It was in a quiet room on the second floor in Book Hall, on the other side of the Palace. Beside a long table, two figures closely embraced each other. As the clear moonlight shed, the figures were put on the ground made of green bricks, making dark and blue shadows.

After violently making love with Huanan He, Gu Yunxi gasped and breathed. In her blushed face, happiness and delight occurred.

Huanan He was satisfied mentally and physically, holding soft Gu Yunxi in his arms from the table. Then they sat on a rosy chair together.

After resting for a while, he rubbed Gu Yunxi's drenched hair and sighed.

"How unjust! You are really my legal wife, but now we seem to be the adulterer and whore."

Gu Yunxi sat on Huanan He's legs, enjoying his behavior of combing her hair. Then she comforted him.

"Now it has just been two years since Huanan Xin was on the throne. Although he is luxurious, there are still many good people serving him in the court. It is not easy to touch them in the dark. Darling, we must do hard things for several years."

After combing a perfect bun, Huanan He grasped Gu Yunxi's hands. He stared at her and softly comforted her.

"Okay, I will just follow you. Later whatever you say, I will never suspect you."

Gu Yunxi leaned on his shoulder, realizing Huanan He was talking about the thing Commandery Princess Jingle drugged Huanan Xin. She softly embraced him, with her fingers covering his drenched back. Then she quietly smiled.

"Take it easy. I have thought of an idea to go out of the Palace. But now I need to wait for an opportunity. At that time, we can go with each other and contrive for our good task together."

"My brother has sent a message to me. He is travelling in Da Yi and trying to gather the rest members of Dao Faction. Now he has set up 'Hongyan Denomination'. Besides, Hua'er helped us in the dark."

"Darling, you should contact Jiang Huaian as soon as possible, letting him win Wang Can's support for us."

"I know."

Huanan He was excited, lowering his head and looking at Gu Yunxi in his arms. Then he turned to be a little complex on his face.

"Yunxi, you have suffered a lot. From the period in the Eastern Depot until now, you haven't ever enjoyed yourself for years."

Gu Yunxi smiled and rubbed some of his silver hair.

"We are a couple, so you don't need to say so."

Then she raised her eyes and looked at the window lattice, sighing.

"Time is almost up. Darling, you leave there first. When you go out of the Palace, please be careful. I should go back to meet with Huanan Xin, seeing the result there."

"Okay, you also be careful."

Huanan He stood up and wore his garment, holding her face and deeply kissing her. In his eyes, he seemed to be somewhat reluctant to leave her.

"Master."

When Huanan He left, Zhiqi walked into the room. She opened the package in her hands, taking a new garment and some ornaments out.

In the moonlight, she helped Gu Yunxi dress up. Then they went downstairs one after another, walking in the path.

Behind the landscaping stone, a figure flashed and slowly went close to Book Hall.

He stepped into the second floor, precisely checking rooms one after another. Finally, he found the sexy trace in one room's corner.

He casually raised his eyebrows with his arms held on his chest, smartly raising his mouth.
