Gu Shengyin encountered Emperor Xiande for the third time in the gardens of the Duke of the State's residence.
Was the Emperor really that idle? After these encounters, Gu Shengyin had fully understood her lover's thoughts.
"This servant girl pays her respects..." she began, making to curtsey.
Qin Shao hurriedly supported her, "Junior Sister, there's no need for such formality. You and I will soon be..." He stopped himself in time, swallowing the words "getting married."
Junior Sister must be very shy. What if she runs away if I say it out loud?
They say one turns foolish before the one they love, and clearly, the wise and insightful Emperor was no exception. He had forgotten if Gu Shengyin were truly shy, and really wanted to avoid suspicion, she would have made an excuse to leave the moment they met.
