Yun Shu directly went for a long vow as she peeked at Bai Yunxian in the process.
Looks like he didn't look at him, as Yun Shu found him still drooping his face down.
"Hah! No need to bow before me, cousin. We are brothers after all. What brings you here so urgently?" Yun Si was delighted despite his denial. Yun Shu can tell that just by looking at his sparkling eyes.
"Your Majesty, there is urgent news. If you want, can we talk separately?" Yun Shu didn't look at Bai Yunxian as she said that to Yun Si, in order to not make the things obvious.
"Oh. Well then." Yun Si let go of Bai Yunxian's hand as he went a little away with Yun Shu to hear what she had to say.
Yun Shu glanced at Bai Yunxian once as she went to the corner with Yun Si.
But she was dumbfounded by the expression of Bai Yunxian when she saw the scorching hot glare that almost burned her to death!
What the hell are you looking at?
I came here to help you and to die, alright?
What are you glaring at?
Anyway, Yun Shu didn't put much thought into this as she can take care of him when she goes back.
Right now, the priority was to deceive Yun Si and take his attention to something else.
"What is it?" Yun Si asked with a serious face as he looked at Yun Shu.
Yun Shu was someone he can count on, because this guy always gave him the most reliable information.
"I got the news just now. It looks like the Fourth Prince… is planning a rebellion in secret." Yun Shu played the card skillfully as she looked up at the pale face of Yun Si, who was both enraged and worried.
"I knew it! I knew that something like this would happen someday. I shouldn't have spared his life back then!" Yun Si stomped his foot on the ground as he looked at Yun Shu.
"What should we do now? What do you think would be the best plan to stop him?" Yun Si looked at his cousin thoughtfully as he asked.
"Simple. You should gather the army and start marching towards the Fourth Prince's house and give out a siege order yourself."
"Like this, the others will also get the warning, and they won't dare to do anything for quite some time. Laying like a dead rat." Yun Shu gave him the best pill she could to make him devour.
"This idea is well thought, brother. After I come back from the march, I'll definitely reward you!" Yun Si patted on her shoulder as he said and started walking out of the Palace towards his study, to gather the arrangement.
'Hmm… sorry brother. Even if you want to reward me, I won't be there to receive it!' Yun Shu smirked as she saw the disappearing back of Yun Si from behind.
By now, Bai Yunxian was sent back to the Palace where Yun Si always locked him up.
After a long sigh, Yun Shu shakes her head as she starts to walk out of the Lily Palace and starts for Bai Yunxian's cave.
At night,
Bai Yunxian looked up at the moon from inside the cage-like window with a pair of emotionless eyes.
This cage had every famous and luxurious decoration of this world, but all this wasn't able to satisfy his craving for freedom.
The moon in the sky, was it as lonely as him?
Bai Yunxian didn't know…
It seems that tonight the Crown Prince won't be coming here because of the sudden work that popped out, but just this much wasn't able to wash away all the misery he went through.
He leaned on the side of the wall as he saw the moon quietly, his vision went blurry slowly.
Suddenly, a certain someone's face popped up in his mind as the calm facial expression changed into anger in an instant.
'Damned guy! Why do I think of him right now?'
Bai Yunxian wiped away the tears in his sleeve, but the tears kept flowing out so naturally that he wasn't able to hold back for a long time.
Giving up, he sat down on the ground as he leaned his head on the wall as well.
'He clearly knew how desperate I was, he knew how much I struggled not to come here.'
'He knew, he knew everything. Yet… he didn't once look at me with mercy. He just looked away with that cold shoulder.'
'Cold hearted bastard!'
'Coward!'
Bai Yuncian kept cursing Yun Shu in his mind endlessly as he weeped alone.
He went to see Yun Shu after he fell in the eyes of that bastard, Yun Si. He begged that guy to help him, he even told him that if he couldn't help him, then feel free to kill him.
But what that bastard actually did?
"I can't keep you or kill you as I please, you know that too. You are now one of the Emperor's possessions. Don't act on impulse and go to the Palace, you can live your life well and in comfort once you go there. Isn't that what everyone wants anyway?"
The words pierced through his heart as he looked at Yun Shu in disbelief. Not long after that, The Royal Guards came and dragged him away mercilessly, but Yun Shu didn't even budge. As if he had nothing to do with all this.
And everyone knows what happened after that, he entered the Royal Palace as the Emperor's Male Concubine, which made him disgraced in the whole Capital.
Even today, he acted like he didn't know him.
As Bai Yunxian was busy talking trash on Yun Shu and sending her to hell for the thousandth time, a knock fell on the window which made him come back to reality.
What was that sound?
"Who- Who is it?" Bai Yunxian lifted up the glass by his side in an instant, prepared to attack the trespasser.
