Keeping patience and waiting for consultation with Zewu-Jun on actions to be taken against Fengming wasnt me. Placing Zidian in my finger and carrying Suihua with me I left my room to make him confront of his sins.

Grabbing Febgming by his collar I questioned him about the letter. "Who is D-Ying? Is he related to Yuan and Yanyi's loss? Is he the one who attacked Gusu?".

He pushed me running away and my Zidian made its imprint on his back. Definitely, he knew something. And, I had to find it from him. He continued saying, "Jin Ling, I dont know what you are talking about?" My Zidian hit again on his back making him fall on his knees in front of me.

As I was interrogating, another raven landed on open area of Yunmeng. This time it was letter from Wu Xin. "Jin Ling, we are going to Yi City. We will all meet at Langya. I have informed Jingyi as well. There is a revert from lookout towers near that area as a response".

Putting Fengming behind the bars, I asked Wen Ning to keep a close eye on him until my return from Yi City.
I went to my room to get my clothes changed when my eyes landed on mint color robe gifted by Yuan.

Picking it up I was lost again in my Yuan's memories.

Past

It was 6am and in my half sleep I opened my eyes assuming to see Yuan meditating in front of me. But to my suprise placing his head on his palm Yuan laid his elbow on bed and his eyes were on me. He was lying on bed beside me.

I closed my eyes thinking I must be dreaming when I felt him kissing my nose. "Happy Anniversary Rulan!"

As soon as I heard him mutter, I pulled him closer. "Happy Anniversary Yuan!"

"Get up Rulan! I have a gift for you".

"What?"

"I will let you see it once you take bath".

Even I had a gift for Yuan. I also wanted to suprise him. Excited for the day ahead I got up immediately.

I laid in the bath tub resting my head on headrest and Yuan was sitting behind combing my hair. Once I remember doing the same for him and he had tears in his eyes. "In Gusu you are thought to do all your work by yourself. He dint even remember who was last to comb his hair".

I cursed inwardly I should have got up early so that I could have brushed my Yuan's hair. But I was too tiered inspecting his gift. I wanted it to get completed on time.

I came out of the bathtub and he got my inner robes and towel. "Yuan I will do it mysel..". Keeping his finger on my lips he said, "I just want to make my day special today by starting it with caressing a soul who changed my life filling it with happiness".

Pulling him closer with a wink I continued, "You could have simply started your day doing me on bed". He hit me on my chest and could see him turning red. "We could still have change of plans".

"Rulan"

I was walking towards my cupboard when he stopped me. From his closet he took out a mint coloured robe made of silk. It was beautiful. It had delicate embroidery of peonies in shade of pink surrounded by cream leaves which started from hem and extended till neck. "Did you like it? I had once tried before writing letter Y in my handkerchief. This is the first time I have tried it on complete dress".

I was speachless. Did he himself did this exquisite piece of art? Perfect was an understatement. "Yuan, anything you do just turns out to be most beautiful thing my eyes ever saw. How much time it took for you and when did you do?".
