The palace was crowded and chaotic, and since the little snake was not human, it was easy to get lost.
Furthermore, it was not even certain if the little snake had gone to the imperial palace.
Yun Changfeng felt his worries were well-founded.
Yun Shu said, "No, the little snake knows Zhan Tianye. If the little snake wants to find someone, it will never go wrong."
"Then..." Yun Changfeng realized something and immediately frowned.
If they had found the right person, and the Night King had seen the letter, then the only possibility now was...
"He might not remember us anymore," Yun Shu suddenly said in a low tone, not in a hurry, but calmly.
Upon hearing this, Yun Changfeng asked in surprise and confusion, "How can that be?"
Yes, how could it be? Yun Shu also had this question in her heart, "This is just my guess. I still can't know what happened."
Yun Changfeng sighed at this, "If that's the case, some things can be explained, but is he really the Night King?"
Why did he feel that the Prince of Jin in the palace was not the Night King now?
Yun Shu fell into silence for a moment.
The sky had turned completely dark.
Some people could not sleep.
Qin Linglong tossed and turned, having a nightmare. In her dream, His Highness the Prince of Jin was very indifferent to her and told her to get lost. As soon as she took a step closer, the Prince of Jin would show a look of disgust.
As if she were dirty.
She looked at the Prince of Jin helplessly, imagining that perhaps one day she could become the one the Prince of Jin loved. However, a single word from the Prince of Jin sent her plunging into the abyss.
Get lost!
Such a cold and ruthless word, coming from his mouth, was sharper than a blade, instantly flaying her. Although it was a nightmare, it felt so real! As if he were truly in front of her.
Qin Linglong trembled violently, looking around in panic.
She kept muttering to herself, "It's not real, none of it is real! His Highness the Prince of Jin would not treat me like this!"
However, these words did not seem to offer much comfort.
She still felt extremely cold and dared not sleep anymore! If she continued to sleep and have such nightmares, she would rather not sleep. She feared that what appeared in her dream would become reality!
"His Highness the Prince of Jin, you actually like me, right?" Qin Linglong hugged her knees and murmured to herself.
However.
Even though she asked herself this in her heart, she could not come up with an answer.
Although she did not understand love before meeting the Prince of Jin, she understood the way the Prince of Jin looked at her, which was not like someone who was in love with her.
But if he was not in love, if it was not love at first sight, why did he choose her among so many people?
Suddenly...
She thought of the question the Prince of Jin had asked her, "Who are you?"
Her mind instantly roared.
The woman who had entered the palace in her stead that day! That woman she greatly admired! That woman whose identity she did not know! She did not know what exactly that woman had done on the day she entered the palace.
Even Xiao Huan only said that 'she' had performed well at the palace banquet that day.
Could it be that the Prince of Jin had been attracted to... that day?
"No, no, no, no! It's not! It's definitely not! His Highness the Prince of Jin was attracted to me, to me as a person, to my face, definitely not that woman! And definitely not that woman!"
She clenched her hands tightly together.
Her fingers had turned white.
But it was not as pale as her current face.
"His Highness the Prince of Jin likes me, and he wants to marry me. His Highness the Prince of Jin can help me leave the Shangshu Manor, help me get revenge, and stop Madam and Qin Lingyue from bullying me... I... I must marry His Highness the Prince of Jin."
"I must marry His Highness the Prince of Jin. I will not let anyone take away what should belong to me."
In the dim light, Qin Linglong's gaze gradually became firm, "I am the Prince of Jin's secondary consort."
...
The next day.
After lunch, Qin Yiqing pulled Yun Shu and wanted to go to a teahouse outside to sit.
She said she was very curious about Yueran Teahouse, the most famous in the capital.
After all, they had thrown a dismembered person in front of Yueran Teahouse two days ago.
Judging from Yueran Teahouse's reaction, it was definitely an industry of the Sha Palace!
Perhaps by drinking tea, they could meet the Palace Master of the Sha Palace.
If they met, wouldn't that save a lot of trouble?
Yun Shu was indeed curious about Yueran Teahouse, probably because she had met Li De there.
So, after disguising themselves, the two of them went to Yueran Teahouse. Today, both of them transformed into young women.
Qin Yiqing was vain and insisted that Yun Shu make her look like a "water-bloomed lotus," the opposite of her usual self. She looked like a timid girl who would redden her eyes at the slightest harsh word.
This was quite a challenge for Yun Shu.
After all, Qin Yiqing's entire demeanor had nothing to do with being a timid girl.
However, since Qin Yiqing wanted it, Yun Shu obliged.
Wearing a false "timid girl" face, Qin Yiqing acted coy all the way. As she looked at the plaque of Yueran Teahouse while getting off the carriage, she exclaimed, "What a grand teahouse! I can't wait to try their tea!"
Yun Shu's lips twitched slightly.
Qin Yiqing suddenly felt that speaking like this was also very interesting! Seeing several passing men stealing glances at her, she said coquettishly to Yun Shu, "Shall we go in?"
Yun Shu really couldn't stand this pretentious Qin Yiqing, so she just nodded.
Seeing Yun Shu's coldness, Qin Yiqing pouted her red lips, "You're too indifferent! Shouldn't you feel tender towards me when I'm like this?"
"I'm getting goosebumps," Yun Shu replied in a low voice as they walked.
Qin Yiqing rolled her eyes speechlessly. She was supposed to be a lovable and delicate girl!
She was determined to practice how to speak and act delicately today.
When the shopkeeper saw two women enter, he called a waiter to arrange a quiet and excellent spot for them on the first floor.
This was Qin Yiqing's request; only by sitting on the first floor could she see the guests entering Yueran Teahouse.
"What would the two customers like?" the waiter inquired.
Qin Yiqing said coyly, "A pot of your teahouse's best tea, and one of each of your best tea snacks."
Anyway, it wasn't her money being spent.
She was poor, but Yun Shu was rich! Enough for her to lavishly order the best. She just liked this feeling. In fact, she wasn't that poor, as her father was quite generous.
Upon hearing this, the waiter probably assumed the two women were daughters of wealthy merchants, hence their extravagance.
Yun Shu smiled and looked at Qin Yiqing, "Is that enough?"
"We can order more later if it's not!" Qin Yiqing nodded with a smile. If they hadn't just finished lunch, she would have asked the shop to bring out all the tea and snacks for her to try.
Just as they finished speaking.
The door opened.
A man and a woman entered. Yun Shu looked over and raised her eyebrows slightly.
