"Little fox, little fox, please don't be so unpredictable, sometimes sunny, sometimes cloudy, sometimes stormy! Your master can't take it! My heart is pounding with fear..."
After saying that, she left leisurely. Although Luo Zijing was seventeen or eighteen years old, her mind was as simple as a child's.
Ye Xiaowei looked up at the blue sky and white clouds. A gentle breeze blew, causing the trees in the garden to sway from side to side, their leaves rustling. The fragrance of grass and soil mingled together, making her feel exceptionally refreshed.
Just three days later, she will leave this cage-like place and head to Mount Wutai.
Although she was not an extremely ambitious person, she returned here with a heart full of hatred. In this life, she vowed that she would not be as pathetic as she was in her previous life, and would not die with resentment in the end.
This is a rare opportunity for rebirth, so she must seize it and personally send everyone who bullied, deceived, and framed her in the past to hell.
She knew she wasn't a saint and couldn't pretend nothing had happened, so going to Mount Wutai to pray for all living beings was just an excuse; her real purpose was something else entirely…
There are too many spies in the palace, and the Crown Princess's status determines that her life will be extraordinary. Many people are watching her, hoping that she will slip up so they can deliver a devastating blow, shattering her to pieces and making her unable to recover.
Therefore, in the palace, her every move was closely watched by many people, and she could not make any move there.
With her current abilities, it's impossible for her to eliminate all those spies. So, she just needs to choose a place with few or no spies to start over, recuperate, strengthen herself, and increase her power before taking revenge one by one!
The full moon, like a silver plate, hangs high in the dark sky, while the twinkling stars, like dazzling diamonds, adorn the entire night.
Under the moonlight, a white figure drifted in, like a ghost, landing silently.
The maid Qiu Mei opened her mouth as if to speak, but was stopped and then gestured for her to leave.
Qiu Mei accepted the order, bowed to him, and then silently withdrew, walking very quietly without making a sound.
Yin Jinmo unfolded the thin blanket in his hand, a doting smile on his lips, bent down, and gently covered Ye Xiaowei with the blanket.
The thin blanket had just been laid down when Ye Xiaowei suddenly opened her eyes. Yin Jinmo was taken aback, then smiled faintly:
"I finally woke you up!"
Ye Xiaowei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the person in front of her was someone she knew.
Her previously sharp and wary gaze gradually softened, returning to normal. She leaned back lazily, pulled her legs up, stretched, glanced around, and casually said:
"So it's already this late. It seems I've unintentionally slept for several hours again!"
Yin Jinmo reached out and gently grasped Ye Xiaowei's hand, his brows furrowing slightly.
"His hands are so cold!" A hint of anger flashed across his usually calm face as he turned to look at the palace maid beside him.
Although he didn't look angry yet, his voice carried an undeniable severity.
"Is this how you take care of His Highness?" Yin Jinmo always had a gentle and refined demeanor with a smile on his face, giving people the feeling of a spring breeze in March and a warm sun in May, which was exceptionally heartwarming.
But once he loses his temper, he exudes an invisible, powerful force that inspires fear in everyone.
Upon hearing this, the accompanying palace maids were all filled with fear, and they knelt down in a dark mass on the ground.
"This servant deserves to die, this servant deserves to die..."
Ye Xiaowei stared at Yin Jinmo with great admiration. Yin Jinmo remained calm and composed, yet exuded a powerful aura of authority.
Overwhelmed with emotion, she thought to herself, "I was so blind in my past life that I didn't know there was such a good man by my side. I was the only one who fell deeply in love with that beast Li Muyan. I was so incredibly blind!"
I tugged at Yin Jinmo: "I'm fine, don't blame them. Besides, you know I don't like being woken up when I'm sleeping!"
Yin Jinmo turned around, a hint of tenderness, helplessness, and reproach on his lips.
☆、026 Showing utter embarrassment
"Your Highness, do you mean you're upset that I woke you up?"
Without asking Ye Xiaowei's opinion, he bent down, picked her up, and whispered in her ear in a low, husky voice.
"But even if Your Highness does not allow it, I will still do it as I just did!" A warm current quietly flowed into my heart, as sweet as honey, and warmed my heart.
The palace maids standing guard all lowered their heads consciously, keeping their eyes fixed on the area within a meter in front of them, bowing and standing to the side, not daring to look around at all.
Ye Xiaowei is the head of the Eastern Palace, and Yin Jinmo is her attendant, so it is not surprising that the two of them would do anything too intimate in the Eastern Palace.
However, since none of them were married, seeing such a scene inevitably made them feel embarrassed. They dared not look and felt their faces burning red.
Ye Xiaowei hooked her arm around Yin Jinmo's neck, her smile becoming even more charming. She leaned close to Yin Jinmo's handsome face without any hesitation, breathing hot air into him.
"Oh~ So, should I deliberately create these kinds of opportunities from time to time, so that you, Mo Jun, can do it?"
Her actions were far too intimate; her warm breath gently caressed his cheek, and as her lips parted, they seemed to brush against the corner of his mouth. Soft and moist, it was truly irresistible!
Yin Jinmo hadn't expected her to do that either. A faint blush rose to his fair, handsome face, and his usually calm and gentle eyes revealed a hint of embarrassment.
"Your Highness..."
Ye Xiaowei laughed heartily in his arms; a woman is undoubtedly extremely beautiful when she has a radiant smile.
She also possessed a noble air that set her apart from most women, making her even more attractive.
Yin Jinmo felt a warm current in his abdomen, rushing around wildly like crazy, making him feel hot all over and also a little inexplicably throbbing.
He gritted his teeth inwardly, cursing himself for being so incompetent and having such poor self-control. He had only been holding Ye Xiaowei, yet he had already had certain thoughts about her.
He was scolding himself while trying to control himself and not let his thoughts show, lest Ye Xiaowei ridicule him.
He didn't say anything more in the end, simply shut his mouth, taking it as a tacit agreement, letting Ye Xiaowei say whatever she wanted.
Yin Jinmo carried Ye Xiaowei to the bed, bent down to place her properly, and then thoughtfully covered her with the blankets. After doing all this, he did not leave, but sat down on the edge of the bed.
Along the way, Yin Jinmo had naturally suppressed all those inappropriate thoughts he had just had, and he had returned to his previous gentle and refined demeanor, always with a smile on his face.
He didn't speak, but looked at Ye Xiaowei with a gentle smile, but Ye Xiaowei knew that Yin Jinmo had something to say to her.
"Go ahead and say it, I know you have something to say to me!" She spoke casually, without using the title "this palace," only "I," which shows that she prefers to be closer to him in private.
The candlelight in the room danced in the wind, flickering on and off, which only made his face appear even more fair and smooth, as delicate as jade, breathtakingly handsome.
After a moment's thought, he said, "Why go to such a far place before you've fully recovered?"
His tone was calm, his expression composed, and he didn't even glance at her twice, yet he made her feel oppressed, just like when Yin Jinmo spoke to the group of palace maids earlier, except this time, he didn't even raise his head.
"Do you know how far that place is from the capital, and how unusual the climate is? Plus, you're not feeling well. If..."
He finally looked up, and the conversation ended there. In that instant, she clearly saw the deep concern and worry in his dark pupils, and her heart was inexplicably touched.
I raised my hand and lightly touched that face with my fingertips, and immediately felt a slight warmth coming from my fingertips.
"Don't worry about me, everything will be alright, you have to believe me!" She spoke very softly and gently, quite unlike her usual self, her eyes sparkling with a captivating light.
Suddenly, without warning, those lips covered mine, warm and soft, with a faint jasmine scent that lingered around my nose, intoxicating and delightful.
His kissing skills were not very good; in fact, they were quite awkward, clumsy, and he was very cautious.
He gave her a light kiss and was about to leave when Ye Xiaowei suddenly became aroused. She reached out and hooked her arm around his neck, turning the tables on him as he was about to leave. She seized the initiative and swept through the enemy lines, reaching deep into their heartland.
His tenderness was captured by her, entangled with her desperately. He tasted the nectar in her mouth, and the sweet fragrance. In an instant, he felt a bang in his head, and his reason was gradually replaced by something else.
Just as he was about to lose control and become distracted, he suddenly snapped back to reality, forcefully pushed Ye Xiaowei away, and stood up in a fluster, his face flushed red, making him look exceptionally cute.
He was unusually flustered: "I...I'm sorry, it's getting late, Your Highness, please get some rest!"
Ye Xiaowei showed no shyness whatsoever; on the contrary, a meaningful smile played on her lips as she glanced sideways at Yin Jinmo.
Because of the kiss just now, her lips still had a slightly moist and glossy sheen, making them look even more sensual.
"Weren't you quite proactive just now? So you can be scared too? I thought you were truly fearless and could remain calm and undisturbed in the face of danger!"
After speaking, she wiped the smile from her face, her expression becoming serious, and said in a deep voice:
"There are too many spies in the palace. My every move is being monitored, and I can't do anything. This trip out of the palace is a great opportunity to secretly cultivate my own strength. However, I only have three years. Whether I succeed or fail, I only have three years!"
She held up three fingers, her gaze clear and resolute.
"So, Your Highness's departure from the palace this time is actually for..." He hurriedly glanced at the door and stopped speaking.
Although this is the Eastern Palace, there are many spies from other palaces, so they have to be very careful.
Ye Xiaowei nodded: "That's right. Those who achieve great things must first endure hardship and toil before they can accomplish anything."
"But Your Highness, do you know that Mount Wutai has a strange climate that is not suitable for ordinary people to live in? Moreover, you have always been frail and sickly, how could you possibly endure it..."
"You can rest assured about that; I certainly won't fall ill there!" Her gaze was piercing and radiant!
Memories of a past life are like branded marks, deeply etched into the heart. Every time they are recalled, they cause a burning, stinging pain. Such heart-wrenching memories are something I'm afraid I'll never forget in this lifetime.

☆、027 Each with their own clarity
Because of such a deep memory, she harbors such deep hatred in this life. Therefore, no matter the reason, she cannot fall down, nor will she allow herself to be so weak!
Her gaze was filled with ruthlessness and hatred, like a sharp blade and a raging fire, suddenly piercing Yin Jinmo's heart.
He had never seen her with such an expression before. Even in public, she had always given off a cold or enigmatic vibe, but now, that look in her eyes was truly terrifying…
Since waking up last time, Ye Xiaowei has been very different. In the past, she was always gentle and sickly, and never had such a sharp look in her eyes.
Moreover, although she is the Crown Princess, she used to be extremely low-key and always listened to Li Guijun's words. She was almost completely obedient to Li Guijun. But now, although she still acts this way on the surface, her actions these days are actually going against him.
Yin Jinmo is a thoughtful person. Others may not have noticed anything unusual, but he felt that she was very different from the Ye Xiaowei of the past.
His suspicious gaze met hers, and as their eyes met, Ye Xiaowei curled her lips into a smile.
"You look at me like that, do you perhaps have some doubts?"
Yin Jinmo stopped making excuses and said, "Forgive my bluntness, Your Highness, but you are so different from before. Sometimes I even have a strange feeling that the person in front of me is not Your Highness at all!"
Yin Jinmo looks very kind and approachable, with a gentle and warm smile. He's so friendly, like a friendly older brother next door, which makes him very likable.
However, Ye Xiaowei knew that this person was extremely cunning and meticulous, and was very good at reading people. His dark eyes seemed to be able to see right through a person's appearance and into their inner self.
