After experiencing an endlessly long and restless night, the last person awake in Feng Courtyard finally fell into slumber.
The crescent moon crawled out from behind the clouds, resonating with the twinkling stars. The hot summer gradually drew to a close, and even the noisy cicadas had quieted down considerably.
Everyone slept deeply throughout the night.
The next day, a faint hint of dawn appeared in the east, and the slumbering Shengdu awakened in the early morning light.
The people of Feng Courtyard began their busy day.
The first to wake was Little Jingkong.
For a while now, he had been pressed into being a little companion by his bothersome brother-in-law, unable to openly move in and stay with Gu Jiao. As a result, he habitually expressed his strong discontent through a bout of morning grumpiness each day.
However, this morning, when he opened his eyes, he found himself lying in an unfamiliar small bed.
Huh?
He got up, jumped off the bed, and pushed the door open to take a look.
Wow wow wow!
It was the courtyard of the Duke Residence!
He had slept at the Duke Residence last night!
He was together with Jiaojiao!
"Jiao——mmph——"
The little guy dashed off to find Gu Jiao, but before he could enter her room, a tall figure swooped him up.
Elsewhere, the monarch also gradually awakened. There was still some residue of the drug Soft Bone Powder in his system, leaving his entire body feeling weak and sore.
And perhaps it was his imagination, but aside from the soreness, he felt pain all over his body.
The monarch frowned, struggling to sit up. He held his head to steady the dizziness, suddenly sensing something was wrong. He touched his head, then touched it again—
His wig was gone!
Ever since Han Ye had shaved his head, the monarch couldn’t bear the humiliation and would always wear a wig when going out, only taking it off to sleep.
When he went to the Cold Palace to see the Han Family, he was suddenly knocked out by them. After he woke up in the cellar, his "hair" was still there.
Cellar—
Right, he had been locked in the cellar by the Han Family—
But how could there be such strong light in the cellar?
This was not the cellar!
What trick was the Han Family up to now!
