Late at night, all was quiet.
Gongsun Liuying slowly woke from her unconsciousness.
Having been asleep for too long, even the dim oil lamp made her squint and shut her eyes momentarily.
Once she'd adjusted to the light in the room, she caught the scent of a pervasive medicinal aroma, different from typical medicines, mingled with a faint and refreshing lotus fragrance.
"Oh, you're awake?"
A blurry silhouette intruded into Gongsun Liuying's vision.
Gongsun Liuying stared fixedly at the intruder for a moment before her sight finally cleared.
It was an extraordinarily alluring face, glowing with a radiant, captivating smile.
Gongsun Liuying frowned slightly. "Who are you?"
Lan Yeyue chuckled, "I am Mao Tu of Great Zhou's Twelve Guards."
"Twelve Guards?"
A flicker of caution immediately passed through Gongsun Liuying's eyes.
