The night was silent as Xu Chun listened to Xie Yi's analysis of the case. His appearance, once akin to a celestial being, now carried a hint of cold determination from someone at the pinnacle of power. This coldness, however, only intensified Xu Chun's fascination and infatuation, drawing him deeper into its allure. "So what do we do now?" Xu Chun asked. "I heard Brother Fang say that we should release Lady Chu. Won't she be in danger again?" Xie Yi shook his head. "Knowing she's under our watch, and…-

Xu Chun left the Martial Hero Marquis Manor and returned to the Duke Manor. He first had dinner with his parents, then after returning to Bamboo Branch Workshop, he found a quiet place to tell Chunxi about entering the Imperial Guard, and returning his indenture papers. "From now on, you're considered an official. With a military post under your belt, your parents will also gain prestige. I'll write a letter to my maternal grandfather's side and ask them to release your parents. Once you have earned merit…

Xu Chun slept deeply, and when he woke up, the sun was high and bright outside his window, well past noon. He asked Wufu about the Emperor's schedule and learned that the Emperor had already finished his court session, seeing that Xu Chun was still asleep, and didn't disturb him. Instead, he returned to the Imperial Study for a brief rest and then summoned the Grand Secretariat for a meeting. Xu Chun felt uneasy, asking Wufu about the events at court and what happened to Minister Li. Wufu replied, "I…

Li Meiya soon met the Emperor. Kneeling there, he could hardly believe that merely meeting with the Prince's late concubine had drawn the attention of the Imperial Guard, and now even the Emperor himself was interrogating him. Xie Yi hurriedly walked in, wearing his dark dragon robe. With a sweep of his robes, he sat down, glanced at Li Meiya, and asked, "Speak. I have no patience." Li Meiya was bewildered. "Your Majesty has been sending people to follow Chu Wei?" Xie Yi sneered. "I'm…

Xu Chun picked up his brush and, following Li Meiyai's suggestion, casually sketched a few strokes of a lotus flower swaying in the wind and half a lotus leaf. A servant promptly took it away. Most of the other guests were writing poems, but the other Daoist simply sat there unmoved. Soon, the inner chamber's pearl curtain rustled slightly, and a girl with two buns sauntered out. She wore a pale yellow gauze blouse, her features still youthful, and she bowed deeply, "Esteemed gentlemen, your elegant…

Xu Chun rode his horse down the main street, his face still burning from the unexpected words he had heard from Ninth Brother. He had always thought himself the pursuer, with Ninth Brother high above him, whom he could only gaze at longingly, hoping for every moment when Ninth Brother would soften his heart towards him. Yet, he didn't know that behind his back, Ninth Brother was so open and honest, feeling no qualms about having a romantic relationship with a subject. The future he casually painted out was…

Fang Zixing was utterly baffled and thought that he should ask His Majesty about his intentions when he entered the palace for duty tomorrow. Regardless, the emperor doted on the crown prince so much that, although this sum of money was negligible, it still represented a token of affection. Since the crown prince had given it to the emperor, His Majesty should accept it and then find some other treasure to give back to the crown prince. The two had been exchanging gifts these past few days, much like a…

Xu Chun and Xie Yi had cuddled for a while before Xu Chun realized he had accidentally splashed water on his sleeves during their boat play, which was now soaking the fabric of Jiu Ge's clothes. He quickly jumped up and said, "Jiu Ge, have you eaten? Sit down for a bit; I'll go change my clothes." After saying that, he ran off, the sound of his wooden clogs echoing throughout the small building. Xie Yi chuckled softly. He straightened out his clothes and took off his outer robe, revealing the gauzy robe…

He Zhiqiu held a book in his hands, but a pure gold ginkgo leaf bookmark slipped out from within. He pinched the leaf-shaped bookmark, feeling a tinge of melancholy. Zhang Wenzheng had sharp eyes; he spotted it at once and exclaimed, "I think I've seen Xiao Jianwei with a similar gold bookmark." Xu Chun glanced up and smiled. "If Brother Zhang likes them, I can gift you a set. There are leaves, flowers, and beauties depicted on them." He Zhiqiu caught Fan Mukun looking at him with an odd, pensive…

The weather in August was unbearably hot. Xu Chun had been eating vegetarian meals for many days, coupled with the emotional highs and lows he had experienced, which left him somewhat unable to withstand the summer heat. His digestive system was out of sorts, and he felt a sense of frustration and restlessness in his heart. Doctor Zhou came to see him and simply said it was due to his inherent weakness and the effects of the summer heat. He prescribed some cooling and yang-restoring decoctions and ginseng…
