"They are my people. I do not want them to be hurt. Release them or else I will get angry with you."

Xu Fei Yi tightened his embrace as if he did not want XuanRong to get angry at him.

"Mmm…" in the end, Xu Fei Yi could only hum in agreement.

Moving his face away from XuanRong's neck, Xu Fei Yi called out.

"Yue Mi."

Outside the room, a shadow appeared and knelt.

"This subordinate is here."

XuanRong's eyes narrowed when she heard a familiar voice.

"Release them."

"This subordinate will obey."

The shadow disappeared immediately.

"Yue Mi?."

XuanRong laughed inwardly. She did not expect that the child whom she saved few years ago and had received a name from her was Xu Fei Yi's subordinate. When XuanRong met her, she felt pity towards the child and decided to bring her in the manor, giving her the name 'YuMi'. It turned out that what happened few years ago was a premeditated plan from Xu Fei Yi.

'Since when did he start spying me? Don't tell me…. from the start?'

As if he could not feel XuanRong's annoyance, Xu Fei Yi righteously spoke.

"Mmm… For your protection."

'Really, huh?'

---------

Since Xu Fei Yi's situation was delicate, XuanRong knew that if many people would find out it, it would not be long before his enemies would also find out his other ident.i.ty. That was why, even if XuanRong trusted her maidservants and An Wei, she did not disclose Xu Fei Yi's secret with them. She knew how grave the consequences would be once others knew that the Moon Emperor who was feared in the JangHu was none other than the sickly and idiotic prince. XuanRong would be lying if she would say that she was not moved by Xu Fei Yi's trust for her. it was also one of the reasons why she had decided to forgive him.

After YuYing and the rest were 'released' from 'captivity', XuanRong could only create excuses without revealing Xu Fei Yi's situation. YuYing and the rest knew that there were thing better left unsaid that was why they did not ask too much questions and decided to trust what XuanRong had said. On the other hand, An Wei's self esteem had been shot deeply. He could not accept that he had failed to protect XuanRong. Thus, when they were 'released', An Wei left Qinw.a.n.g Fu, leaving only a message saying, "This subordinate has failed to protect you. This subordinate will return once this subordinate has the power to stand beside you."

XuanRong had no idea as to where An Wei would go. Even if she did not want An Wei to leave, she understood that she should not stop An Wei.

XuanRong tossed An Wei's matter at the back of her mind. She had many things to do. She had to cure Xu Fei Yi's illness but she had to wait for a while since the full moon had just ended. Aside from that, it was now time to settle things with Li Jung Li. She had been waiting for the right time… Now that Li Jung Li had been addicted to Baili Chen's taste, the bait she had painstakingly prepared, it would be a waste if she would not stir trouble.

'Heh… Li Jung Li ah… what will you do if you see your precious little Chen being pressed under someone else's body?'
