Hearing this, the originally weak "man" on the bed fainted. When he woke up again, the shabby cave had been decorated like a wedding hall.
"Beauty..."
In the following half - year or so, "he" tried to escape countless times, but was always caught back by the strange old man. The old man neither beat nor scolded "him".
Instead, he treated "him" like a woman and vented his desires in various ways.
Gradually, after half a year, "he" stopped trying to escape and peacefully became the strange old man's "wife". The person in the mirror still had delicate features, but he was no longer a man.
The strange old man was extremely powerful and excellent at the art of Gu. He was far more powerful than the Golden Water Palace. Now that the young man had become a woman, he had even less thought of running away.
If not for the hatred that sustained him, he might have already faded into nothingness.
After the New Year, Zhongli Mingye became even less interested in state affairs. "I'll take you back to Liuzhou City!"
"Ah?"
The surprise came a bit suddenly. Song Jinyu raised a smiling face. "At this critical moment, you're going back to Liuzhou?"
"Anyway, it's boring staying here. I'll go to Liuzhou to drink with your brother!"
She felt something was a bit strange. "Don't you think your father is being overly indulgent towards you?" He could go back to Liuzhou whenever he wanted and stay in the capital whenever he pleased.
"Maybe he just doesn't care about me," Zhongli Mingye knew in his heart that the crown prince was the favorite child of his father. Otherwise, why would he be so indulgent? Zhongli Mingye didn't believe that the emperor knew nothing about what had happened in the Western Mountain Hot Spring Palace.
After all, everyone in the palace came from the imperial palace.
"Anyway, pack up. We're going back to Liuzhou!" Seeing his solemn expression, Song Jinyu quickly moved closer. "Great!"
"I wonder if Lingyu has grown up and if he's still naughty?" Before they even set off, her heart had already flown there. Seeing her happy, Zhongli Mingye was also happy.
However, when the emperor heard about this, he vaguely felt that this son was starting to be disobedient. But then he remembered Zhongli Mingye's theory about father - son relationship and felt a sense of loss.
The long - standing struggle between him and the crown prince had become increasingly obvious in the court. Although the Prince Cheng seemed to have given up the ambition to compete for the throne, the emperor always remained on guard against him. Only Zhongli Mingye was an enigma to him. If he had no intention of the throne, he kept going against the crown prince; if he did, he was now going back to his fief.
"Ye'er, is it because of Song Jinyu?"
"Liuzhou is more peaceful. I just want to be lazy for a while!" His expression was calm, making it hard to tell what he was thinking.
"Tell your mother. Remember to come back after some time."
When they returned from the palace, He Yi came along. "You're leaving? This is so sudden!" Since being instructed by Concubine Jia, He Yi had been very concerned about the Prince Yu. Like the concubine, she didn't want the crown prince to ascend the throne in the future.
If it had to be one of the other princes, He Yi hoped it would be the Prince Yu.
Song Jinyu was very happy. Although she didn't understand why Zhongli Mingye was leaving at this time, leaving this place full of troubles was always a good thing. After all, she didn't want to be constantly watched by the Eastern Palace.
"Shuang'er is here too!"
"Jinyu, if you meet Ming Ruyi, tell him for me that he doesn't need to hide anymore. I won't pester him again."
Song Jinyu and He Yi sighed.
"You know, Uncle is not leaving because of you. There's no place for him in this capital."
The women chattered away, unaware that time was passing quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was time to leave the capital. Song Jinyu called Zhong Yuanliu over. "Remember what I said. Take the time to 'care' about the crown prince."
"Also, inform me immediately if there's any movement on Tianmen Mountain."
"Your subordinate will do his best. However, Miss," Zhong Yuanliu told Song Jinyu some rumors he had heard.
"Some people said they once saw a woman who looked very much like Ouyang Jinse."
"However, your subordinate has never heard that the mistress of the Golden Water Palace has a sister."
Song Jinyu was stunned. After Ouyang Jinse's death, it was said that her body had not been found. She felt a bit worried for no reason. However, "No one can survive a fall from a cliff that high."
"We must be cautious about this. It would be best if we could capture that woman."
She shook her head. It was impossible. That cliff was not like the Huangshan Cliff back then.
With doubts, she returned to the prince's mansion. Zhongli Mingye had been waiting for a while. "You went to see another man again!"
His tone was not good. Song Jinyu stifled a laugh.
"Yes, but you can't be jealous. Yuanliu doesn't like women."
Zhongli Mingye was curious. "I'm least familiar with him. It seems you value him a lot."
"He's a good person. I told him to take good care of the crown prince." It was not easy to kill him, but it was possible to make him sick a few times.
"If we don't make arrangements early, I'm afraid the crown prince will cause trouble in the court after we go to Liuzhou."
He looked up at her. "You're so capable. How should I repay you?"
Suddenly, he gave a naughty smile. "My love, let's..."
He pulled her over and threw her on the bed. "Let's have a baby!"
Song Jinyu wasn't worried at all. She gave a sweet smile and covered his mouth with her delicate hand. "My lord, I'm having my period..."
"You'd better stay in the study quietly!" After saying that, she turned over and ignored him. "I'll warm you up,"
"Do you have so much internal energy that you don't know where to put it?" He was always so gentle and considerate during her period.
If others saw the famous cold - faced prince in the capital warming her belly, it would cause quite a stir.
However, her happiness didn't last long. Her prince stopped. "My love, are you comfortable?"
"Yeah!"
"I'm not comfortable!"
"Are you having your period too?" Song Jinyu sat up with a strange expression. "No way!"
Zhongli Mingye wanted to knock her head open to see what was inside. He coaxed her, "My love, you know there are other pleasures between husband and wife."
"How about we give it a try?"
Before Song Jinyu could react, she was pushed down again. It was not until an hour later that she left Zhongli Mingye with a blushing face.
She didn't know what to say about this man.
She only remembered his hoarse voice, a bit ambiguous. "My love, we can also find pleasure this way." Finding pleasure, finding pleasure. It was his kind of pleasure, she thought.
Humph!
Niaoniao brought in some water. She heard Song Jinyu muttering while washing her hands, "Libertine!"
She let out a soft laugh. "My lady, it's a good thing that the prince is so clingy to you!" It was better than in other mansions where there were a bunch of concubines.
Niaoniao hoped Song Jinyu would be happy because Yan Fei also hoped she could live a relaxed and happy life.
Now, with the Prince Yu doting on her, Song Jinyu lived a relaxed and carefree life.
