Yun Zhi Yue contemplated for a moment and said, "This Palace will take a break at Yao Xian Palace today and will head to Qin Wang Mansion tomorrow. At that time, we will need the Crown Prince to send someone to meet us at the palace gate."
Feng Yu responded respectfully and, before leaving, glanced over at those overly bright red lips. Inside the room, however, there was no one else present.
Returning to the Hall, Yun Zhi Yue looked at the half-open window and cursed under her breath. If she hadn't initiated the kiss earlier, forcing him to surrender, who knew what kind of chaos he would have caused.
The lack of any change in the strategy value card confirmed her thoughts; since that was the case, she couldn't be blamed for being ruthless.
Qin Wang was a royal prince. Although he resided in his fief, he naturally had a presence in the capital as well. After meeting with the attendants waiting at the palace gate, she boarded a comfortable carriage.
Through the carriage window, she observed the main streets of the capital. The daytime city had a unique charm. In this dimension, her mind had always been occupied with palace intrigues; only twice had Luo Bai taken her out at night, making it hard to see much.
The Ancient Street resembled a flowing historical scroll, with its brick-paved roads bearing the marks of time. Compared to the modern city's hustle and bustle, this place's noise carried a serene depth after years of sedimentation.
If she had not entered the palace in this life and had simply lived as a commoner, would she have been able to enjoy simple and pure joys like those children?
Pulling open the curtain gap wider, Yun Zhi Yue looked enviously at several little girls with horned braids. One held a wooden toy while the other bit into sweet candy, running around and laughing.
As the carriage passed by, sitting on the second floor of a teahouse, Luo Bai couldn't forget that gaze. Did she truly long for such a life?
Wen Ningmo waved her folding fan scented with refreshing herbs and laughed, "I never would have guessed that Yun Fei, who thrives in the palace, would actually envy the life of ordinary people. It seems you are not on the same path; I advise you to know your limits and not harm yourself or others."
Luo Bai toyed with her teacup. "You don't need to advise me; I won't back down."
Wen Ningmo frowned. "Sometimes I really don't understand what you're thinking. If it's power you seek, you're already in control as one of Si Li Jian's top officials."
If it's women you're after, there are so many in this world. Why must you covet the Emperor's side? You're forcing yourself down that path!
No matter how incompetent the Emperor may be, he is still the ruler of Da Feng. Even if he is criticized a hundred years from now, he is still of the Feng lineage. Without an heir, you won't be able to take that position.
As for your entanglements with Yun Fei, it would be best if they ended soon; otherwise, they will eventually be exposed. What will happen then?
Luo Bai showed no signs of wavering. "If we can't win against them, then dying together isn't so bad. If we both walk Huang Quan together, it probably won't be so cold."
Wen Ningmo scoffed. "You really are deeply entrenched in this mess. But this is your selfish thought—have you considered that from beginning to end, Yun Fei never loved you? Would she even want to die together?"
Cracks appeared in the teacup in Luo Bai's hand, yet she did not loosen her grip.
As soon as he loosened his grip, the tea would flow through the cracks, never to return to his palm.
"Conquest Value"
After arriving at the Qin Wang Fu, the conquest value had increased. Yun Zhi Yue thought that Luo Bai was following her, but after looking around, she found no one.
"What is the lady looking at?" Feng Yu, who had come out to greet her, asked.
"Nothing much, just feeling that this Qin Wang Fu is quite impressive," she replied.
Feng Yu smiled and said, "It is indeed worlds apart from the palace; it must be a bit of a disappointment for the lady."
Yun Zhi Yue rolled her eyes dismissively. "Before entering the palace, I was just from a humble family of the seventh rank. His Highness's words sound quite hypocritical."
Feng Yu nodded. "It was His Highness's inappropriate words; please do not take offense, my lady."
