“No matter. I’m not afraid of getting tired,” said Liu Rushuang flatly as she awkwardly turned her head.
Han Moze smiled and replied, “Alright, we’ll go to the Moon Pavilion tomorrow evening to see the sunset and the moon. You’ll definitely love it.”
“Mhm,” replied Liu Rushuang before taking a seat next to Han Moze to take care of him.
Han Moze shut his eyes and weakly furrowed his brows. His whole body shivered as though he was freezing.
When Liu Rushuang noticed, she touched Han Moze’s forehead only to feel it burning up. She worriedly cried, “Are you really feeling cold?”
Han Moze nodded gently, seemingly unable to open his eyes.
Liu Rushuang jumped in fright. How could he be so frail?
Thus, she immediately got in bed and propped herself against it to warm Han Moze up.
Han Moze turned around and embraced Liu Rushuang. Her fresh breath made his heart feel pleasantly sweet.
The following day, Han Moze and Liu Rushuang went to the foot of Wanhua Mountain in the evening. There were various kinds of beautiful flowers, plants, and trees, and there were very few people around for a stroll.
Liu Rushuang helped Han Moze off the carriage, then stepped off onto the rocky path leading up to the mountain.
Halfway through their ascent, Han Moze coughed feebly.
*Cough*
“Let’s rest for a moment.”
Liu Rushuang looked at the mountain and did not think it was really that high up, but it was already taking its toll on Han Moze. “How about I order the servants to give you a piggyback ride up the mountain? We’ll reach there in several hundred more steps,” she said.
Han Moze shot a glance at the servants behind him and weakly cried, “There’s no need. *Cough cough…* I’ll slowly walk up there on my own in a bit.”
Liu Rushuang secretly cursed at how he cared so much for his dignity. However, she did not fight him over it and continued to walk up the mountain after Han Moze was done resting.
They reached the pavilion on the mountain after walking for some time. The pavilion was made of pear wood and looked really exquisite.
Han Moze smiled faintly and flatly said, “Follow me.”
Then, he wobbled as he continued to walk on.
Liu Rushuang was stunned but immediately walked over to help Han Moze up. Where was he going?
Han Moze led Liu Rushuang to a clifftop full of overgrown vines.
“What are we doing here?” Liu Rushuang asked curiously with furrowed brows.
Han Moze smiled faintly, pushed aside the vines and stepped in.
Liu Rushuang’s eyes instantly shot wide open. She never imagined that there was a secret path there.
Han Moze stepped inside and pulled out a rather large night-luminescent pearl. He held onto Liu Rushuang’s arm and walked on.
After about a hundred steps, she exited of the cave.
Liu Rushuang’s eyes instantly shot white open. So beautiful!
When it was almost dusk, the clouds in the sky dissipated and the hazy, multi-colored skies looked incredibly beautiful.
The multi-colored lights showered upon the trees. In the distance, the river gleamed a flourescent glow.
This was definitely the most beautiful scenery that she’s ever seen in her life.
Han Moze looked at Liu Rushuang’s pleasantly surprised smile and couldn’t help but smile in return.
“From this angle, doesn’t this look spectacular?””
Liu Rushuang nodded and broke into a smile. “Truly beautiful!”
“Let’s go sit over there!” cried Han Moze as he pointed at the silvery white platform in the distance.
Liu Rushuang nodded in response, then helped Han Moze over to sit by the tall platform.
The sunset reflecting off Han Moze’s face added some color to his face and made him look unusually charming. Liu Rushuang was stunned for an instant, but swiftly averted her gaze.
With a smirk on his face, Han Moze flatly said, “Before I became the Emperor, I would come here often and whenever I did, I felt like there was endless source of power waiting for me to tap into.”
