After finishing the affairs in the palace, Wen Zhiyue and Ye Nanxuan stayed in the backyard of Liangfu.

Xuemei and Ye Qi left after helping Wen Zhiyue and Ye Nanxuan bathe. The room was silent. Wen Zhiyue lay on the soft bed and slowly closed her eyes. The warmth from behind enveloped her back.

"You and I have been separated as husband and wife for more than a month, and today we can finally sleep on the same bed again." Ye Nanxuan tightened his arms around Wen Zhiyue. Wen Zhiyue felt a little breathless and hummed twice, which made Ye Nanxuan's blood boil.

Ye Nanxuan's lips kissed Wen Zhiyue's forehead, and after a moment he slowly kissed her lips. Although Wen Zhiyue resisted a little, she was too tired to argue with Ye Nanxuan, so she just let him do whatever he wanted.

The enchanting night made the two of them sleep until the afternoon. The dazzling sunlight shone through the window onto the bed. Ye Nanxuan gently opened his eyes and looked at the quiet Wen Zhiyue in front of him. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and that smile was full of doting.

He got out of bed, covered Wen Zhiyue with a quilt, pulled the curtain, walked to the door and opened it. Just as Ye Qi was about to speak, Ye Nanxuan gave him a look that silenced him. Ye Qi quickly shut up and bowed.

"I'll just wash up in the yard." Ye Nanxuan walked into the yard, "Also, there is news on the matter that I asked Ye Han to investigate."

"Your Highness, the shadow guard sent back news this morning that Yuwen Jing went to Lingchan Temple with his personal guards." Ye Qi replied with a bow.

"Hmph, are you going to become a monk after your defeat?" Ye Nanxuan's face was cold, with a hint of sarcasm at the corners of his mouth and a hint of jealousy in his heart. He also wanted to marry Yue'er. If Yue'er chose him, she would be really blind.

If Wen Zhiyue could hear what Ye Nanxuan was thinking at this moment, she would definitely give Ye Nanxuan a thumbs up. In her previous life, she was really blind and was harmed by Yuwen Jing for five years, causing the unjust death of her parents and loved ones.

"Is there anything unusual in the palace?" After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, Ye Nanxuan put the handkerchief on the tray brought by the maid and asked indifferently.

"Except for a few princesses and princes who shouted a few times, there was nothing unusual." Ye Qi answered respectfully.

"Go and make arrangements later. Ask Emperor Huan which concubine he needs to serve by his side. The others will be separated by gender and then by rank."

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Ye Qi turned and left.

"Ye Zhao, prepare the horses and arrange a dozen shadow guards to go to Lingchan Temple with me." Ye Nanxuan looked towards the door, and Wen Zhiyue stretched her waist at the door.

"You're really tired." Wen Zhiyue cast her eyes towards Ye Nanxuan. Seeing Ye Nanxuan walking towards her, she stretched out a green vine to hit Ye Nanxuan. Ye Nanxuan dodged the attack of the green vine, leaped quickly to Wen Zhiyue, and took her into his arms. "Princess, your health is really good. Last night, your husband was not diligent enough and did not take good care of you, which made you so angry in the morning."

Xuemei and Luochuan were startled at first, then looked indifferent when they saw the two of them. They thought that the two of them had a fight last night because they were upset. They didn't expect that they were just showing off their affection. It was really unbearable to watch, and the two of them left without saying a word.

Watching Xuemei leave with a smirk, Wen Zhiyue pushed Ye Nanxuan away and kicked him in the chest. Ye Nanxuan turned around and first grabbed Wen Zhiyue's feet, then pulled her into his arms again, "Princess, you are really in a bad mood when you wake up."

"Hmph, I'm tired. Let me stretch my muscles. My waist is so sore." Wen Zhiyue covered her waist and sat on the stone bench in the yard. "Xuemei, wash up and change clothes."

Xuemei brought her maid and toiletries to Wen Zhiyue. After washing, Wen Zhiyue had lunch with Ye Nanxuan.

"When will the emperor's decree arrive?" Wen Zhiyue was led out of the yard by Ye Nanxuan's hand, and rode her horse out of the back door and ran all the way out of the city.

"We will be there in ten days at most." Ye Nanxuan hugged Wen Zhiyue, rode for an hour, and stopped at the gate of a temple.

"Why did you bring me here?" Wen Zhiyue looked at Ye Nanxuan in confusion. Ye Nanxuan looked at the temple in front of him calmly, "He's inside."

"Who?" Wen Zhiyue stared at Ye Nanxuan with puzzled eyes.

"Your former enemy." Ye Nanxuan glanced at Wen Zhiyue, "You have called Yuwen Jing's name in your dreams many times. I thought there must be something unfinished between you and Yuwen Jing. I brought you here today to untie the knot in your heart."

"Your Highness is really considerate, but you are right, I should settle accounts with Yuwen Jing." After saying that, he walked into the temple.

The courtyard was elegant and quiet, with occasional sounds of birds being heard from the trees. Wen Zhiyue and Ye Nanxuan followed the young monk in the temple towards the temple's meditation room. The three of them walked through several corridors, and the young monk took them to the meditation room and then left.

Wen Zhiyue looked at Ye Nanxuan, "Does the prince want to join us?"

"Yue'er, do you want me to go in with you?" Ye Nanxuan asked instead of answering, looking at Wen Zhiyue with a persistent gaze. Wen Zhiyue glanced at Ye Nanxuan with calm eyes, "Of course, there is nothing shameful between him and me."

After saying that, he turned and walked into the room.

In the Zen room, Yuwen Jing, wearing a monk's hat and robe, sat quietly in front of the Buddhist hall, twirling Buddhist beads in his hands.

His once evil eyes became calm and indifferent, as if he had seen through the world.

Hearing the voice behind him, he opened his eyes slightly, paused for a moment with the Buddhist beads in his hand, and smiled slightly, "The moon comes so quickly."

"You knew I would come." Wen Zhiyue looked at Yu Wenjing's back in confusion.

"Yes, you and I are both reborn. How can you feel at peace if you don't avenge your past life in this one?" Yuwen Jing turned around calmly, sitting upright on the mat and twirling the Buddhist beads.

Wen Zhiyue glanced at Ye Nanxuan, and seeing that Ye Nanxuan's expression was calm, she turned back to look at Yuwen Jing, "I have a clear conscience, unlike you who killed my entire family for your own selfish desires and caused the entire Long family army to die in the civil strife. You are just an executioner."

Ye Nanxuan, who was beside Wen Zhiyue, was shocked when he heard this. Yue'er had suffered so much before, and he felt a little distressed. He stared at Yuwen Jing with cold eyes.

"After you left, I realized that my love for you was not to exploit..."

Before Yuwen Jing could finish, Wen Zhiyue angrily shouted, "So what? You stabbed me in the chest with your own hands."

"I let you down in my last life, so I came back to life. I really hope to marry you and take good care of you, but you never give me the chance to repent." Yuwen Jing put away his Buddhist beads and looked at Wen Zhiyue with heavy eyes. She was always so dazzling that he couldn't get close to her.

"Forget about repentance. Now that you have converted to Buddhism, you should repent here." Wen Zhiyue looked at Yuwen Jing with cold eyes. "I will not bother with you in the land of Buddhism. If we meet in the future, I will definitely take revenge on you and will never show mercy."
