Rong Yuxiu stood up and stared at her blankly.
"…Is this a dream?" He mumbled as he couldn't believe his eyes.
"It's not a dream." Xue Ning walked closer to him, took off her cloak, and exposed her face to him. "It's me, Lord Rong."
His pupils contracted, and he chuckled. "Concubine Xue! There's a banquet in the hall now. Why aren't you accompanying His Majesty? Why are you here to see me?"
"How could His Majesty remember me?" Xue Ning said. "Lord Rong, Xue Ning needs your help."
Rong Yuxiu seemed to sober up a bit. He scrutinized her for a long time before he wrapped his arms around her.
Xue Ning gasped.
"My help…" His breathing was a bit ragged. "comes at a price."
"I…"
Ye Shengge was so shocked that she forgot what she was saying.
"Cut!" Lin Ran yelled.
Ye Shengge immediately stood up and took a few steps back, as if she was escaping from a tiger's den.
Qin Youhui sat up and smiled, "Am I that scary?"
