Hence, the trio would either be playing or having a relaxing lie-down at the Divine Lake.

As the lake waters cleared fatigue, the trio would feel recharged even after playing around for a day.

Soon, two more days had passed.

After lunch, the trio was sitting around the table when Liu Rushuang smiled at Little White Flower, “Let’s go back today, Little White Flower.”

Little White Flower frowned a little. Sothing seed to flash in her mind just then. Still, she could not really tell what it was, and so paused for a mont before nodding and replying, “Okay.”

Nangong Ba frowned slightly. It seems that the bewitching spell he casted on Little White Flower had utterly failed.

Liu Rushuang turned towards Nangong Ba, looking at him with her starry eyes and a perfect smile. “What about you, Nangong Ba? Where will you go know?”

Nangong Ba’s gaze twitched and his heart promptly pounded without control. Taking a mont to calm himself, he smiled rather awkwardly, “May I escort you back to the capital, Shuang’er?”

Liu Rushuang’s watery gaze widened slightly, but she soon smiled with composure. “Of course.”

Nangong Ba’s eyes glinted, and his smile widened.

Later, the trio flew back to the imperial palace of Beiming.

It was almost evening when they finally arrived, and landed on a corner of the street.

“This is as far as I could bring you, Shuang’er.”

Nangong Ba studied Liu Rushuang repeatedly even as he clenched his hands, and suddenly took her in a tight embrace while whispering into her ear, “I hope you will always be happy with him.”

Liu Rushuang froze right then, and did not refuse the warm hug when she heard that low, stirring voice.

Monts later, Nangong Ba freed Liu Rushuang and glanced at her pregnant belly. Forcing a smile, he said, “I’ll visit you in the palace when the ti cos.”

Then, he turned to leave without any regrets.

That embrace had been as soft and sweet as he had imagined, but the thought that she did not belong to him left his gaze rather dull.

“Do you want to co inside the palace for a while, Phantom Fox?”

Liu Rushuang could not help asking—Nangong Ba was really cutting a loneso figure as he left.

“It’s fine.”

Nangong Ba paused for a mont before refusing. He could tell that Shuang’er missed that man dearly over the last few days, and was reluctant to see them display their affection in front of him.

On the other hand, Liu Rushuang had a troubled look in her eyes as she watched Nangong Ba leave, and she ended up sighing quietly before turning to leave as well.

Both figures hence slowly headed into the distance, fated to never co together.

Little White Flower would also turn around to look at Nangong Ba from ti to ti, her watery gaze overflowing with reluctance in parting.

Her lady had invited Lord Gorgeous into the palace, but why would he not want to go?

How troubling!

Liu Rushuang scooped up Little White Flower with one hand just then, and landed nearby the Fallen Phoenix Palace by the next second.

Be it out of nervousness or excitent, her heart was pounding a little stronger as she strode towards the Fallen Phoenix Palace. The two eunuchs posted by the doors were promptly left gaping, though they soon kneeled and greeted her in great delight, “Greetings, Your Majesty. May you be in good health.”

Only the empress could control the emperor’s temper in this palace.

“Little White Flower, you should go back for now.”

Liu Rushuang turned towards Little White Flower with a smile, pinching her cheek.

“Okay.”

Little White Flower nodded before turning to leave, a pleasant smile on her face as she clutched at the pouch at her tummy.

She wonders if Green had returned, and she would show him so nice trinkets if she did...

anwhile, Liu Rushuang watched as Little White Flower headed to the distance, before turning to enter the Fallen Phoenix Palace. When she entered, she found that it was all ss—table, chairs, string piano, book racks... everything was destroyed.

Stunned, she hurried to the back of the palace to find that the dressing table, bed, and hot spring were all a ss as well, and completely destroyed.

“That bastard!”

Eventually, Liu Rushuang seethed through clenched teeth.
