Lin Jingzhu's black and white eyes shimmered with a dreamy glow.
Mustering up her courage, she lifted her chin and softly pressed her delicate lips against his.

Yangxin Palace.
The Empress sat on the Phoenix Throne, her eyes unfocused, lost in thought.
Sun Senior Palace Lady, standing by and brewing tea, frowned, "Your Highness, where have you been today? You left the palace without notifying me. The city is full of chaos and danger; what if something happened to you..."
The Empress would usually sneak out of the palace, but Sun Senior Palace Lady would accompany her for safety.
But this time, she kept it a secret from everyone; nobody knew where she went.
"Your Highness?"
Seeing the Empress absent-minded, Sun Senior Palace Lady frowned deeper.
The Empress came back to her senses and shook her head, "I just went for a stroll, plus Zhu'er was with me. What could possibly happen?"
