Third person POV
Shortly after Hong er received the edict, Eunuch Zu left Xu residence and went back to the capital. Xu Tingfeng, Bai Huiqing, and Weisheng gathered in Xu Tingfeng's studyroom, the atmosphere was tense and frightening. Xu Tingfeng couldn't hold his anger anymore, he slammed his hand on his desk.
Xu Tingfeng: ” Outrageous! If he wants to die that badly then just say it! I will happily kill him!”
Bai Huqiing: ” Calm down Tingfeng, death is too easy for him, we need to crush him physically and mentally.”
Weisheng who was sitting silently at the side suddenly stood up, he glanced at Xu Tingfeng.
Weisheng: ” Old man, give me a mission, a very hard one.”
Xu Tingfeng: ” Hoo~ You got a plan under your sleeve?”
Weisheng: ” En.”
Bai Huiqing: ” Is it what I think it is?”
Weisheng: ” En.”
Bai Huiqing: ” Please go easy on Hong er.”
Weisheng: ” En, I will borrow Hong er for 2 weeks.”
Bai Huiqing: ” En, take care of her.”
Weisheng: ” En.”
Xu Tingfeng: ” Tell me when you are ready.”
Weisheng: ” En.”
Weisheng bowed his head towards Xu Tingfeng and Bai Huiqing before he walked out of the room. Xu Tingfeng and Bai Huiqing looked at each other in concern, it would be hard for both Weisheng and Hong er.

Weisheng went to Hong er's courtyard with Qiyi and Qier behind him. Meiyun and Huayun noticed Weisheng's arrival, they went to Hong er's chamber and reported his arrival. Huayun guided him to the outer courtyard to wait for Hong er. Not long after, Hong er arrived at outer courtyard with a simple white hanfu.
Weisheng looked at Hong er with amazement but when he looked at Hong er's calm face, his face saddened. Hong er noticed Weisheng's changes in mood, she dismissed Meiyun and Huayun including Qiyi and Qier. She slowly walked towards Weisheng and sat beside him.
Hong er: ” What is it?”
Weisheng: ” Hong er…”
Hong er grew worried as she heard his low energy voice, Hong er placed her small hand on top his big coarse hand and gently caressed his hand. Weisheng looked into her eyes and took off his mask. He smiled gently at Hong er and took her small hand into his hand. Hong er's heart beat really fast after she saw his gentle smile. But she set aside her thought and worriedly asked Weisheng.
Hong er: ” Sheng ge, if something is bothering you, you can just tell me.”
Weisheng: ” Hong er, I will be on a mission but the date hasn't been confirmed.”
Hong er: ” Where?”
Weisheng: ” Da Qi.”
Hong er: ” Then why are you so sad?”
Weisheng: ” I don't know when I will come back so I want spend all of my time with you before I go.”
Hong er: ” Sheng ge, why are saying it like you will never come back?”
