Jing Yiren took advantage of the moment and playfully bit the Emperor Uncle's soft lips. It was a small act of revenge for his cold treatment of her these past few days.
To her surprise, as soon as she did that, the Emperor Uncle suddenly pushed her aside and hastily turned around to leave.
Jing Yiren watched his figure disappear at the entrance of the tent, eventually succumbing to sleep.
When she woke up, she realized that all the sweetness of before was a dream.
Could she and the Emperor Uncle never return to what they once were?
-----------------------
Jing Yiren sat in the pavilion, her thoughts slowly returning once the ancient melody from the zither she was playing ended.
Thinking through those past events.
It seemed that was the point when the Emperor Uncle's attitude towards her changed.
Even after returning to the palace, although the Emperor Uncle treated her as nicely as before, their intimate connections seem to have diminished.
