The Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.
Liu Erlong would be marrying into the palace in a month, and Qian Renxue looked utterly miserable. After all, she couldn't consummate the marriage with a stick, could she?
There was no one to share the burden now.
Qian Renxue sighed.

"Tell Ji Hongchen to come to the Eastern Palace."

Inside a secret chamber in the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.
Qian Renxue leaned against the table with a troubled expression, her lovely brows slightly knitted. She looked weighed down by worries, but that gave her a charm all its own.

Qian Renxue came back to her senses.

Seeing Ji Hongchen's astonished expression, Qian Renxue covered her mouth and chuckled. "What, surprised? That old bastard Xue Ye arranged this marriage for me."

"Who are you marrying?"

"You know her too."
"Liu Erlong."
