The life swap begins with Consort Hua becoming Lady Qin.

Zhao Ying secretly pursed her lips.

Ruo Fu glared at her, but in the end, he couldn't help but laugh.

After chatting for a while, changing into comfortable clothes, and returning to the familiar house, Ruofu soon felt sleepy.

She was truly exhausted these days; as soon as she relaxed, her eyelids became incredibly heavy.

Seeing this, Zhaoying didn't disturb her any longer: "Princess, please sleep for a while. I'll have someone watch over you, and I'll wake you up for dinner."

Rufu nodded.

I lay down on the bed and fell asleep almost immediately.

I slept very soundly and for a very long time.

When she regained consciousness, it was pitch black outside, and there wasn't even a light on inside.

If Fu opened his eyes groggily, his mind not yet fully awake, in that half-dreaming, half-awake state, he seemed to see a dark figure standing by the bedside.

Ruo Fu's hair stood on end instantly!

He suddenly propped himself up and threw a punch!

"oops!"

Ruof was stunned as he raised his fist.

Why does that voice sound so familiar?

-

Zhao Ying lowered her head, pursed her lips tightly, and tried her best to look very serious as she presented the peeled hard-boiled egg with both hands.

"Your Majesty, here you go."

Hongli covered his eyes with one hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally accepted it with a lot of resentment.

Turning back, he continued to stare intently at Ruof with one pair of eyes, one blue and one white.

"Why are you glaring at me? Who told you to come back? You wouldn't even let me turn on a light, standing there in complete darkness by my bedside without saying a word. When I opened my eyes, I saw this huge dark figure standing there. I thought some evil spirit from my dream had chased me out! Shouldn't I teach it a lesson first?"

Ruo Fu was initially a little guilty, but later he became more and more confident in his words.

Hongli gritted his teeth: "I only thought you were sleeping soundly and didn't want to have someone light a lamp to wake you."

"Why don't you sit further away? Oh well, alright, alright."

Seeing that Hongli's face was becoming more and more like that of a vengeful ghost from the underworld, she cleared her throat, reached out and took the egg, her tone softening considerably: "It's my fault, I was half asleep just now, how was I supposed to know it was you? Come here, let me rub it for you. It shouldn't be too bad, right? You too, how come you're so fragile, I didn't even use much force."

Hongli looked at her incredulously: "How much more force do you want to use?"

Ruof quickly corrected himself: "Not much, not much, not even a little bit."

She took the egg, wrapped it in a soft cloth, and gently rolled it around Hongli's eye sockets.

It was rare to see her so considerate and gentle, and Hongli's resentment gradually subsided.

Ruofu then had a chance to glance out the window, only to see it was pitch black. He suddenly realized, "What time is it?"

Zhaoying said softly, "Reporting to the Princess Consort, it's almost midnight."

"So late? Why are you back at this hour?"

She asked Hongli.

Hongli glanced at her, dismissed his attendants, and then said in a low voice, "Ulanara has passed away."

If Fu paused, the egg slipped from his fingers and rolled onto the bedding.

"When did this happen?" Her voice trembled. "I was perfectly fine when I came back. How could this suddenly..."

Hongli was also taken aback, not expecting her to react so strongly.

"Just now." Thinking that it might be due to her pregnancy, his voice became even softer: "Qingying saw it with her own eyes when she went to see her."

Ruo Fu's panic suddenly froze, and he let out a long sigh of relief, even subconsciously giving him a sidelong glance: "From now on, you must make sure you say everything clearly."

Hongli looked completely bewildered.

Ruof bent down, picked up the egg, blew away any dust (whether real or not), and continued rolling it around Ruof's eye socket.

"I thought Qingying was dead!"
