The Wanshou Festival finally came to an end. After the grand celebration, everything returned to peace. The emperor and the empress returned to the Yikun Palace together, the empress dowager returned to the Shoukang Palace to rest, and the concubines in various palaces also returned to their own palaces. The princes left the palace and returned to their homes.

However, Jun Moli also returned to the Jun family mansion, but Hua Xiulan did not leave with him. The reason was simple: she drank too much at the banquet and was drunk. She could not return to the palace on her own and could only stay in Yaoyue Palace to rest.

The next day, sunlight came in from the east window and shone onto the dressing table in Yaoyue Palace. The light in the mirror was reflected on Hua Xiulan's face, and she woke up in shock.

Hua Xiulan rubbed her temples, recalling what happened last night, and a blush appeared on her face. She remembered that she seemed to be drunk at the banquet, and then... then she didn't remember anything.

"Princess, you're awake." Chuntao walked in carrying a basin of water.

"Hmm..." Hua Xiulan responded, "How did I get back?"

"Princess, it was your consort who sent you back." Chuntao said.

Hua Xiulan's heart moved, and when she thought of Jun Moli's gentle eyes last night, she felt a little sweet in her heart.

"By the way, the prince consort also asked the kitchen to prepare some sobering soup for you. I'll bring it to you right away." Chun Tao said and went out.

After Hua Xiulan washed up and drank some sobering soup, she felt much better.

"Since I haven't returned home, I will go and pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. Let's go," said Hua Xiulan.

Hua Xiulan came to Shoukang Palace, paid her respects to the Queen Mother, and chatted with her for a while. The Queen Mother asked her about her life in the Jun family mansion with concern, and Hua Xiulan smiled and replied that everything was fine.

After bidding farewell to the Queen Mother, Hua Xiulan went to Yiku Palace again and chatted with the Queen for a few more words. Then she went to sit with Concubine Xian and have lunch.

After bidding farewell to Concubine Xian, Hua Xiulan met Jun Moli on her way out of the palace. He was standing under an osmanthus tree with his hands behind his back, as if waiting for something.

Seeing Hua Xiulan approaching, Jun Moli raised his lips slightly and stepped forward to greet her. "Princess, are you sober? I am here to take you back to the palace."

"Now that you're sober, Mo Li, how long have you been here? Have you missed lunch?" Hua Xiulan asked.

"No, has the princess been used?" Jun Moli asked.

"I have already had my meal in Mother's Palace. How about asking Yue Palace to make something for you?" Hua Xiulan said.

"No need, I'll go back home and eat." Jun Moli refused.

After returning to Jun's residence, Hua Xiulan couldn't help but sigh that this relationship of marriage before love might be gradually heating up. She looked forward to the future and hoped to be closer to Jun Moli.

But one day, this tranquility was broken by a mysterious woman. That day, Jun Moli went out to do business as usual, but for some reason, he always felt that someone was following him. This feeling made him alert, so he decided to put aside the work at hand for the time being, find a place to hide, and see who was following him.

Jun Moli hid in a corner, quietly waiting for the mysterious man to appear. Time passed by, and finally, he saw a figure slowly approaching. When the person approached, Jun Moli was surprised to find that the mysterious person was Chu Yu!

However, the current Chu Yu is no longer the weak and frail woman in his memory. She exudes a powerful aura, and is obviously a person with profound martial arts. Jun Moli can't help but feel confused and shocked. He doesn't understand why Chu Yu has changed so much, and he doesn't know why she is following him.

"Brother Mo Li, long time no see~ Do you miss me?" Chu Yu began to pretend to be gentle again.

"Yu'er, weren't you sentenced to death? Did you fake your death? If the truth is discovered, your entire family will be wiped out! How dare you do this?" Jun Moli said anxiously.

"Brother Mo Li, don't you miss Yu'er at all? Yu'er was cruelly sold to Yanyu Tower, and now she takes the risk to sneak out to find you." Chu Yu said with tears in her eyes and pitiful look.

"Yanyu Tower? That's..." The word brothel came to his lips, but he couldn't say it no matter what.

"Yes, Yu'er refused to submit to those people and was beaten. Yu'er is really afraid of pain. Brother Mo Li, can you take me away from here?" Chu Yu begged bitterly.
