Xue Liang separated from him, going instead to pick up her sword. Then bowing to him. "Congratulations, General Liu has won. I'm not as skilled as you but having this chance to go against you in this sword fight was a great chance. Thank you." Xue Liang smiled at him as he bowed back.

"You're not bad yourself. If there is ever a day again then I'll ask to fight again." Liu Gang added.

"Both of you have great fairness and wise choices. Everyone thanks you for showing us your skills." The emperor then said as they both bowed to him going back to their seats.

Xue Liang then decided it was time to start acting. "Mother, Father, my head is feeling a bit dizzy. I may ask if I can go back first?" Xue Liang looks to her father and mother. Her father went to her with a little concern.

"Okay, go ahead." Duke Xue Cheng then helped her up. Consort Wan Bao then went to her, pulling along her maid.

"My maid will help her back. Please rest assured my husband." Consort Wan Bao had an evil smile underneath as her maid led Xue Liang out. She was then led to a different part of the palace. The maid had just left her on the bed before leaving as Xue Liang then got up and opened the window.

"You got her." Su Rong nodded in her black suit, setting Xue Hai onto the bed facing her back to make it look like Xue Liang.

"Rong, go ahead I have to do something." Su Rong nodded. Xue Liang burned the incense just when the door was about to open. A dark figure jumped through the window catching Xue Liang around the waist.

"Let me-!" Her mouth was then covered.

"If you want to make it out then stop struggling." The voice whispered, belonging to Liu Gang. She turned around to see his glowing purple eyes. Taking his hand off her mouth.

"Gang, don't startle me. We have to get out now." She said, trying to be clear.

"The prince will be disappointed that there is no one here for him in bed." He mentioned as the door started rattling. Liu Gang quickly pushed the wall frame divider between the window and bed.

Liu Gang and Xue Liang were stuck together holding her to his chest. They heard Prince Yu's voice as he was clearly drunk. They soon heard ripping of clothes, and Xue Liang started getting the scent of the incense with an aphrodisiac. 'Shit, this is bad.' She thought deeply in her head.

Xue Liang started feeling unsure as they both were not in a good situation at the moment. Her head was being affected slightly then she started smelling Liu Gang's arm which he soon caught scent also.

They soon heard Xue Hai's scream being muffled, Liu Gang hurriedly carried Xue Liang out of the window, it was then shut.

Xue Liang was feeling light headed since her sense of smell was strong as she was set down on the ground. She felt wobbly as Liu Gang caught her. "You didn't inhale that much but just slowly breathed." Liu Gang told her but Xue Liang was feeling too much as she had to soak herself. She jumped into the pond as Liu Gang then jumped in. "Idiot! What do you think you're trying to do?!" He looked angrily at her with worry.

"I'm trying to get the scent away. This is the only way. I have to get home. Tomorrow it's going to be a big day." Liu Gang then carried her as she looked up at him. "You don't have to take me home."

"No need. This is nothing. Wrap your arms around my neck or else you'll fall." Xue Liang didn't have much strength to argue back as she just did so.

Her bedroom window was open, having him go in and setting her down onto the bed. Su Rong gasped with shock to see him.

"It's okay. He helped me here. Just bring me a set of new clothes." She only nodded with Liu Gang looking at her.

"Thank you for bringing me home." Xue Liang looked up to him, rubbing her head.

"Don't ever try this again. I will be very disappointed in you. I have to go back now." Xue Liang nodded. Liu Gang left through the window. Su Rong brought spare clothes which Xue Liang was taken to bathe and soon left to sleep the night.

Morning rose, her father was yelling. opening the door to Xue Liang's room while she looked at him. "Father, what's the problem? It's too early to start yelling."

He looked at her confused, then rushed to Xu Hai's room. "Hai!!!! I let you stay home and now you are gone! She probably went to the palace!" Xue Liang hurriedly rushed along with them to the palace as her father opened a bedroom door.

Everyone clearly saw Xue Hai and Prince Yu. "Hai!!!! You shameless daughter!!!" He yelled as they both woke up. Prince Yu saw that he was sleeping with Xue Hai.

The emperor then walked in also as he had seen his son and Duke Xue Cheng's Daughter. "Duke Xue, Since this happened then my son will marry your daughter as his consort. This is the only way to keep her status clean."

"Father please it wasn't my fault!" Xue Hai yelled while her mother went to hug her.

"Husband please! It's not her fau-"

"Not her fault! I told her to stay at home but this happened! She is going to marry Prince Yu! Your highness, I thank you for your consideration. We will plan the wedding as soon as possible." He told the emperor as he nodded. Both decided to leave including Xue Liang with a satisfied look then listening closely.

"It's okay. I'll treat my Consort nicely. You won't feel any day without love." Prince Yu said. Xue Liang felt happy that Xue Hai was the one in there.

"Don't touch me!" Xue Hai said aloud as she left the room with her mother. "Mother, how can this happen to me!?" Her mother had nothing to say as she had no idea what happened.
