"Didn't you leave?"

Inside the carriage, the incense burner was filled with smoke, and the furry carpet was full of warmth. Bai Zhixi held the silk handkerchief in both hands and lowered his head, his tone carrying a sense of loneliness.

After a while, without even hearing Jun Mohan's reply, he slowly raised his head and saw Jun Mohan leaning on the carriage, dozing off. His sleeping posture was extremely lazy, his long eyelashes casting a shadow. The black robe looked as if it had collapsed on his body. It had been added with a bit of coquettish charm. The belt on his waist was loose, as if it could be scattered at any time.

Suddenly, he felt a hot sensation on his nose, as if something was flowing out from inside. She quickly took out a handkerchief and covered her nose, then turned around with her back facing Jun Mohan, not daring to look at his face.

He cursed in his heart. The heavens were truly unfair to be able to seduce him with his sleeping posture.

"Xi Er, what's wrong?"

In an instant, Jun Mohan's low and rich, and lazy voice came from her ears. The warm breath landed on her face, and the remaining warmth lingered on.

Her heart was thrown into disarray, and a burning sensation spread from her face to her ears. She was at a loss of what to do, tightly twisting her handkerchief, as if she wanted to cover up her current abnormality.

"I... "Howl …"

After a long time, she suppressed the peculiar feeling in her heart and turned around, ready to explain. She didn't expect her lips to be so cold and thin, yet they were firmly pressed down. For a moment, she felt flustered, so she simply closed her eyes tightly.

Immediately, his body was bound into a powerful embrace filled with the fragrance of rosewood, and his voice was drowned in the kiss filled with love. Her slightly cold tongue slipped into her mouth, greedily grabbing onto the breath that belonged to her as she vigorously explored every corner. She didn't dare to open her eyes and let those icy lips do whatever they wanted.

At this moment, their hearts throbbed, causing them to forget everything around them. All they could hear was the sound of each other's breathing.

After a long while, when she was about to suffocate from the kiss, Jun Mohan finally released her.

"Xi Er, don't be angry, she's just my servant girl, it's just that her father once used his life to save me, it's true that I'm grateful to her, but I definitely don't have any love for her. I know what she's thinking, and I definitely won't let her get close to me in the future, okay? "

Hearing Jun Mohan's words, Bai Zhixi suddenly raised her head, only to see her blushing slightly, gasping for air, her red lips as alluring as an orchid's.

After Jun Mohan finished speaking, he gave her a light peck on her red lips before slowly releasing her.

"What are you talking about? I'm not a heartless, unreasonable person. But I only want my man to be completely devoted to me. "

Although Bai Zhixi had long understood the relationship between Jun Mohan and the two of them, he felt as if a knife was slicing across his heart when he saw them tightly hugging each other.

"Don't worry, your husband will definitely be wholehearted towards you. I am willing to be your pair for your entire life. "

Seeing that she had weakened, Jun Mohan hugged her waist and leaned on her shoulder. His tone was slightly lazy, causing others to be unable to doubt his words.

"Then... How do you plan to make Ah Rao let go? "

The corner of Bai Zhixi's mouth hooked up into a smile that could not be ignored, and a sweet sense of happiness overflowed his face. Hearing him say this, it would be a lie to say that he was not moved.

After all, Jun Mohan was the dream lover of countless girls in the capital and even in the entire world. Now, he was promising her a pair his entire life and for now, regardless of whether or not he fulfilled his promise in the future, she was still happy for now.

However, Ah Rao's father had sacrificed his own life to save Jun Mohan, and in the end, entrusted Ah Rao to him. For him to take care of her for his entire life, it must be because of this marriage.

The moment she first saw the look in Ah Rao's eyes, she knew that her relationship with him was definitely not as simple as that of a master and servant. Furthermore, with Ah Rao's meticulous thinking and strong personality, it would not be easy for her to give up on Jun Mohan.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Jun Mohan sounded tired and lazy, his sunken eyes showing that he had not slept for a few days. His dry lips formed a sad smile, and his originally handsome face was replaced by a deathly pale face, his skin dark and covered in a layer of dust.

She suddenly felt her heart ache. She couldn't help but reach out to touch his thick eyebrows, wanting to help him smooth things over.

"Alright, it's still early. There's still some distance to go before we reach the Green Cloud Temple. Let's take a break!" I haven't slept in days. "

Just as Jun Mohan finished speaking, a heavy voice came out. His handsome eyes were closed, but his brows were locked tight like a distant mountain. His eyelids were tightly shut, revealing a trace of worry. It was because he was extremely tired that he looked like this.

Bai Zhixi thought about what he had said, although she didn't know what Ah Rao would choose in the future. What kind of marriage would the Emperor arrange for him? Everything was still unknown.

If she really did make it to that step and Jun Mohan did not keep his promise, she would definitely take it without hesitation. She would definitely not be able to share a husband with others.

The sound was lonely and monotonous. There were only two horses pulling the carriage. Their bodies were handsome and strong. The hooves of the horses clattered on the ground, creating a sand mist that blinded the eyes of the passersby.

Inside the carriage, Bai Zhixi and Jun Mohan were nestled tightly together. A bright red Plum Blossom bloomed between her eyebrows, which was especially eye-catching in the dark carriage, exuding an extremely charming and flirtatious aura. Her eyes were as beautiful as stars and her long eyelashes were slightly trembling, showing the uneasiness of a woman.

The carriage had a peaceful and happy atmosphere that spread throughout the entire journey.

As the sun set, the last rays of sunlight lost their radiance under the cover of the dark clouds.

The distance between Blue Cloud Temple and capital was a day and night, and because of Empress Dowager Cheng's orders, everyone rested in the depths of the mountains and forests for the night. Tomorrow, they would head to Blue Cloud Temple.

As Bai Zhixi and Jun Mohan had been sleeping during the day, they were not sleepy at all. They sat on the mountain rocks as they blew at the cold wind and roasted the flames, looking at the hidden moon in the sky.

After all, he was responsible for the empress dowager's safety. It was the new year, but when it came to the matter of Hong Mei, everyone was worried.

The next day, the sky in the east turned white, and the ground also gradually brightened up. Everyone began to pack up their luggage as they headed in the direction of the Biyun Monastery.

Shortly after they left, a group of masked men in black riding horses stood where they had rested the night before. The horse's hooves were stained with some yellow mud and its tail was wet. It must have chased him through the night.

"Sir, the soil is still warm. It seems that they have not gone far."

The man dressed in black spoke respectfully to a middle-aged man wrapped in a gray robe.

"Chase at full speed." If I meet Jun Mohan, I will kill him secretly. Listen to my orders, and don't alert the enemy. It alarmed the empress dowager of the Dongjun Kingdom, and delayed Master's grand matter. "

The gray-robed man was mounted on the bay horse. His exposed eyes had a lazy look, but the depths of his eyes were absolutely cold and chilling. His voice was extremely cold.

The horse's mane was long and loose, and it proudly held its head high as if it was its master.

"Giddy …"

The man shouted loudly, and everyone began to chase after Bai Zhixi and the rest.

And at this time, Bai Zhixi and the others didn't know that the danger was approaching, they were still laughing and talking along the way, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the distance from the temple to the temple wasn't too far. It only took them four hours to reach the foot of the mountain. Even so, they had managed to escape a calamity.

The Jade Cloud Temple was located on top of the Yunluo Mountain. The grand and majestic temple was decorated with an ancient style and solemn style. The cold winter and hot summer weather made the scenery even more beautiful. Due to the rules set by the Biyun Temple, everyone had no choice but to abandon their carriages and climb up the stairs step by step.

Climbing the stone steps, one could see that the Blue Cloud Temple was situated in a snow-covered forest. The surrounding trees, flowers, and plants were all bent over by the snow, adding an inexhaustible splendor to the magnificent temple.

Although the sun was high, it was extremely cold at its highest point. There was still an unmelted snow on the ground. A bone-piercing cold wind blew, sending chills down their spines. The young ladies of the Shangguan Family couldn't help but shiver, but they endured the discomfort and worked hard to climb up.

"Amitabha, this old monk pays his respects to the empress dowager!"

Just as he arrived at the temple entrance, he saw a bald old monk with a white beard saluting to the empress dowager.

"Amitabha, Reverend, sorry to disturb you."

The empress dowager had a benevolent expression on her face as she clasped her hands together, returning Grandmaster Kong Chen's greeting. She was like a different person from the usually aloof and aloof empress dowager.

"You flatter me. This old woman has already ordered the monks to clean the rooms. Esteemed empress dowager, please!"

Upon hearing these words, a mysterious and benevolent smile appeared on Kong Chen's aged face. His voice sounded casual, as if everything was under his control.

When the empress dowager heard her words, she suddenly turned around and gave the people behind her a profound look. Her eyes were filled with cold warning as she walked in slowly after a long while.

Upon seeing the empress dowager's icy gaze, all the young ladies were shocked. They exchanged glances but didn't speak a single word as they followed behind her in silence.

In that instant, he understood that they were all women who were born that day. They probably came to Jade Cloud Temple to let Buddha confirm the matter of the Phoenixis Maiden.

Furthermore, every empress of the Dongjun Kingdom would come to the Jade Cloud Temple to stay for a few days before entering the palace. They would bathe in Buddhist music, soak in blessings, and bring good luck to the Dongjun Kingdom in order to be able to enter the palace.

The ladies of the emperor's household were already speaking softly and cautiously, hoping to show their best side in front of the empress dowager. If not, then the position of imperial concubine would bring honor to the family.

"Xi Er, listen to me, I didn't do it on purpose just now. "I originally wanted to go with you, but the princess' words couldn't be disobeyed either. It's already …"

Amongst Sang Sang's noisy crowd, Bai Zhixi was squeezed till she was dizzy. She stood firm with much difficulty, not wanting Shangguan Jingyan to grab onto her hands tightly.

Hearing Shangguan Jingyan's panicked voice, she turned around, only to see her beautiful face filled with worry and guilt.
