Volume One: A Woman of Popular Name, Qingyun, Breaks into the Palace at Night

Following Fengxue's birthday, the Pingyan Prince's Mansion celebrated its second major day—the Prince of Pingyan married Shuangdie, the most famous courtesan in Fengxi, as his concubine.

Note! It uses the word "welcome" instead of "take a concubine"!

This shows how deeply Prince Pingyan loved him.

Everyone speculated about how Princess Fengxue would make things difficult for the newly arrived Shuangdie girl. Suddenly, the Pingyan Prince's Mansion became the most eye-catching focus in Fengxi, gradually overshadowing the uproar caused by Consort Dong's death from excessive grief after losing her imperial heir.

On that day, the people who came to watch the ceremony were looking forward to seeing a wonderful show, but unfortunately, Princess Fengxue did not show up, citing illness, which greatly disappointed everyone.

Butterfly Tower.

Shuangdie, dressed in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, was exceptionally beautiful. Her silver eyes shone with an intoxicating soft light. She looked at Situ Xingyun cautiously and asked, "Sister is not feeling well. Won't Your Highness go and see her?"

Situ Xingyun pulled her close and said, "Tonight is our wedding night, and you're willing to push me to someone else?"

Her beautiful eyes blinked gently, "But..."

"Stop talking!" Situ Xingyun felt a surge of anger at the thought of Feng Xue. What an inconsiderate woman! But when he heard that she was unwell, he felt an urge to go see her. However, upon seeing Die'er's captivating silver eyes, that urge was suppressed.

"Butterfly, don't waste time. A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold."

The red gauze curtains were drawn down, revealing a scene of boundless spring beauty inside.

Snow Tower.

The woman in green looked worried and cautiously called out, "Your Highness..."

Feng Xue's face darkened. "Qingyi, from now on, call me Princess!"

"Yes, Your Majesty... Princess."

Realizing she had frightened her, Fengxue softened her voice, "Qingyi, I'm going out tonight. No matter who comes, tell them I'm asleep and can't just barge in."

"If His Highness comes..." The words had barely left her lips when Qingyi bit her lip in regret. Oh no! She'd said the wrong thing! She cautiously glanced at the princess's face.

Feng Xue remained calm, but her voice was as cold as ice, "He will not come."

"Yes, Princess." The woman in green curtsied slightly.

After Qingyi left, Fengxue immediately put on her disguised face, changed into a set of light, all-black clothes, covered her face with a black veil, and put the black jade that Jun Wuhen had given her into her clothes.

By candlelight, a woman in complete darkness appeared in the bronze mirror, with only her clear eyes visible.

People usually dress like this to do shady things.

That's right! Tonight she's going to sneak into the palace and steal the Soul-Dew Pill!

Departure from the palace.

A dark shadow was darting around inside.

After a long while, Feng Xue rested on the eaves of a house. She complained to herself: This palace is so big, and all the houses are built exactly the same. It's impossible to tell which place is which.

Suddenly, she heard a voice coming from downstairs.

She held her breath and gently moved a tile aside. Inside, the room was filled with the glow of candlelight. A stunningly beautiful woman sat before a zither, her luscious red lips pouting as she complained, "What a terrible zither! It's so hard to play! If it weren't for my cousin Wuhen making me practice, I would rather die than touch it!"

Cousin Wuhen?! Feng Xue's eyes lit up. After looking at the surroundings of the stunning woman, she was certain that this woman's status must be quite high.

With a slight smile, Feng Xue took out a leaf and swiftly tossed it at the stunning woman, accurately striking her pressure point to put her to sleep. The woman immediately lay face down on the zither. Feng Xue then leaped down.

Observing her face closely, Feng Xue couldn't help but marvel at what a flawless face it was, as white as jade, exquisitely sculpted, without a single blemish.

A moment later, Feng Xue created a face that looked exactly like the beautiful woman's. After changing into one of her clothes, Feng Xue put on the face and went out.

Not long after she left, a maid rushed towards her. "Miss Wuxia, aren't you going to practice your zither? If you don't practice soon, you'll be in big trouble when the Master inspects you tomorrow!"

Feng Xue pouted, looking unhappy: "I don't want to practice anymore! It's so hard! I'm going to find my cousin Wuhen now!"

"Ah?!" The maid exclaimed in panic. "No! Miss Wuxia! Didn't you see how dark and gloomy the Lord's face is today? The Lord is most terrifying when he's in a bad mood!"

Is Jun Wuhen in a bad mood?!

Feng Xue blinked. "Cousin Wuhen isn't scary at all! You're coming with me!"

"Oh dear! Miss Wuxia, please spare Green Plum!" Green Plum was so shocked that her face turned pale.

Fengxue pouted and said coquettishly, "Lvmei, go! Go!"

Unable to resist her coaxing, Green Plum had no choice but to go with her reluctantly. As they approached the door, Green Plum's steps slowed, revealing her extreme unwillingness.

Only then did Fengxue say, "Never mind. Green Plum, I can go in by myself."

Green Plum immediately took two steps back in surprise, "Then... Miss Wuxia went in by herself... Green Plum will go first..." After saying that, she disappeared as quickly as the wind. She was most afraid of the Lord's bad mood, as if someone had killed his whole family.

Feng Xue quietly went inside.

Dressed in black, Jun Wuhen stood by the window, gazing up at the starry sky. His blue eyes shone with a soft light, as if he were thinking of someone.

Upon hearing the voice, Jun Wuhen turned his head abruptly, and his expression softened slightly when he saw that it was Yu Wuxia.
