The audience suddenly erupted after learning that up next was Liu Rushuang.
“Her Majesty is also performing?!”
“We’re so fortunate to be able to watch Her Majesty perform!”
“I wonder what Her Majesty’s guqin skills are like?”
…
Liu Rushuang elegantly walked up to the stage, took a seat and started to play the guqin.
Immediately, the sweet, relaxing sound of the guqin drifted all around them in the air.
The audience promptly quietened down.
This song was heavenly; rarely ever heard in this mortal realm!
Soon enough, the cheerful sound of the Guqin attracted little birds to gather from a distance and encircle Liu Rushuang’s side.
“Quick, look! Quite a few birds are flying over!”
“We’ve never seen something like this ever occur during the Hundred Flowers Festival!”
“Her Majesty’s guqin skills are fantastic!”
…
Han Moze smiled softly as he watched Liu Rushuang, when all of a sudden, a little bird flew and chirped in front of Han Moze’s eyes.
Han Moze furrowed his brows. “Go away,” he murmured.
The little white-feathered bird heard what Han Moze said, and sat on his shoulders.
Han Moze suddenly thought the bird was interesting and spoke to it. “You’re not afraid of me?”
Chirp chirp… The little white-feathered bird chirped a few times.
Han Moze grinned speechlessly. So this bird turns out to really understand what people say!
“When Shuang’er finishes playing, will you compliment her for me?” Han Moze asked the little white-feathered bird.
Chirp chirp… The little white-feathered bird chirped a few times again.
When Liu Rushuang finished playing, there were birds of different colors all over the stage which attracted gasps from the audience.
She gradually got up and suddenly a white bird flew towards her. Chirp chirp…
Liu Rushuang slightly furrowed her brows. “Are you congratulating me?”
Chirp chirp… The little white-feathered bird’s eyes immediately widened.
“You’re asking if I’m a phoenix?” Liu Rushuang whispered to the little white-feather bird.
Chirp chirp… The little white-feathered bird flew up and down a few times in excitement.
Liu Rushuang furrowed her brows as she looked at the white-feathered bird. “How can you go into my body?” She asked flatly.
Chirp chirp… The little white-feathered bird chirped a few times, then flew over to Liu Rushuang.
Han Moze was the only one who managed to see that happen. As he watched Liu Rushuang right in front of him, his eyes suddenly shot wide open and he was confused to no end.
Liu Rushuang felt a significantly huge surge of heat burn in her body.
The effects of the Complexion Binding Pill on Liu Rushuang’s face slowly wore off. Her eyes turned redder and her skin turned paler.
Unbeknownst to her, Liu Rushuang turned and took a seat on stage.
All of a sudden, the state officials and commoners beneath her were left in astonishment.
“The empress is beautiful!”
“Why are the empress’ eyes red?”
…
Han Moze let out a sinister smile and told Liu Rushuang, “Shuang’er, your Complexion Binding Pill has worn off.”
Stunned, Liu Rushuang immediately shut her eyes and countless images abruptly crossed her mind.
The picture of her and Ze hugging and kissing. Most of the memories were of her and Ze, but there were also memories of Nangong Ba.
Liu Rushuang was abruptly froze. There was also the memory of a fiery phoenix suddenly transforming into her.
…
Liu Rushuang furrowed her brows and looked at Han Moze with widened eyes. “Ze, I want to go back to the imperial palace.”
Han Moze noticed that Liu Rushuang looked like she had a headache and replied, “I’ll order the minister to continue cleaning up the situation, then I’ll lead you away through the back exit.”
Even the civil officials were just as confused as the commoners. Why was the empress so beautiful?
“How did the young miss suddenly revert to her real complexion?” Qing’er cried in shock.
