Murong Hong gave Tang Ziyu two elixirs that could change her appearance, so that she would not have to disguise herself. He then arranged for a carriage to take her wherever she wanted to go. Tang Ziyu knew that this time she would lose him forever, so she was very reluctant, but she still held back her tears and got into the carriage. The carriage had just left Murong Villa but half a mile away when a horse galloped up from afar, it was Murong Hong. He stopped the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked inside to see Tang Ziyu, who was already in tears.
He reached out and pulled her out, holding her firmly in his arms. ‘Why are you so heartless? Why didn’t you let the carriage turn back even though you had come so far?’ His tears fell on Ziyu’s face, burning her heart and causing her pain like a knife. Tang Ziyu kissed his lips, letting him taste the tears with her. The two embraced for a long time before parting. ‘If that kind of medicine really makes you forget me, you mustn’t take it! because I will never forget you until the day I die!’ Tang Ziyu placed her hand on Murong Hong’s face, “My life is not long, so let me go see them. If I see that each of them is alive and well, I will be at peace and leave. If I am still alive at that time, I think I will go to the small house on Qilin Mountain and wait for you.”
Murong Hong nodded, and after watching her cart really depart this time, he turned his horse around and left.
It took a long time for Tang Ziyu to calm down. She wondered if she should love Murong, but in the end, she realised that she had already fallen for the refined man. He was a pervert, but this pervert really loved her, even though his approach to problems was wrong and crazy. But her heart told her that he would never hurt her.
After arriving in a small town, Tang Ziyu decided to stay for a day or two, as she wanted to find out more about Xiaoyun Villa and the Eighth Prince. After taking the medicine, she looked more like a man than ever. So she went to the teahouse alone to find out more. Things at Xiaoyun Villa were more or less as she expected. The two owners had returned, and at first they were a bit dazed, but after a few days they were much better. She heard that there would be a wedding at Xiaoyun Villa.
The eighth prince of the capital had been the talk of the town for the past two months. It was said that he had received a letter from an unknown sender and had suddenly fallen ill, alarming even the emperor. It was said that the prince had gone white overnight and that no one knew whether he was dead or alive. Although he had subsequently improved, he was unable to attend court, so the emperor had granted him special permission to return to Qilin Town to recuperate. Qilin Town had suddenly become famous far and wide because of the prince, and there was also a famous jade shop there.
Tang Ziyu felt very distressed. She didn’t know whether it was because of the happy news or because she knew how Situ had reacted to the letter. Now she just wanted to go back to Qilin Town. She wanted to see how Situ Ping was doing and whether he was still angry with her.
