The moonlight is cool as water, and the moonlight seems to have melted, falling on Xuyang's eyes, merging into a piece of watery light.

  After a long time, he finally lowered his head, the tears in his eyes had already disappeared, and his usual lazy and narrow eyes were now deep as night. In the end, I still didn't follow your plan, in the end, I'm still wandering further and further away in this palace.

  Deep in thought, a black shadow fell beside me. Under the moonlight, the shadow removed the veil from its face, revealing the features of that little flower vendor from the White Day Palace.

  Under the moonlight, the man in black clothes bowed to Xuyang with a respectful expression: "Li Long has seen King Fei."

  The tranquility on Wang's face has gone, but it is not as elegant as before, only with a faint smile, and the gestures are not inferior to Xurong's imperial demeanor.

  Xu Yang smiled and said, "Get up and talk. Your performance in the palace today was very good. Xu Rong is suspicious by nature. If I had directly sent you into the palace, he would have definitely become suspicious. But if we use this method to keep you here, he will instead dare to reuse you."

  A man in black clothes named Li Long, however, did not get up upon hearing this. Still kneeling on one leg, he said with a remorseful expression: "Li Long is guilty, today let the king be humiliated, please punish me."

  Xu Yang smiled and took a step forward to help the man in black up, sighing: "You're also doing this for me, what's the situation like in the palace today?"

  Li Long heard this and hastily reported: "Today, after the Emperor left the Imperial Flower Garden, he went to the Imperial Study Room. During this time, the Prime Minister came to pay his respects. It wasn't until evening that the Emperor emerged from the Imperial Study Room, then summoned and favored Quan Gui Ren."

  Xu Yang nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing in his eyes. Chu Lian's abacus was probably thinking of this, if the emperor had a heart for her, then he would certainly treat Chu Wanru well too.

  After a moment of contemplation, Xuyang said to Li Long: "You go back to the palace first, and report if anything happens."

  Li Long nodded and disappeared into the night after bowing.

  Xu Yang looked up at the moonlight, a faint bitter smile flashing in his eyes. The hand in the crimson sleeve waved slightly, and another person wearing black clothes fell from the eaves of the house. Xu Yang's gaze was directed at a distant pond of lotus flowers, his eyes did not turn to the man in black, and his voice was also calm: "Inform Princess Ce that tonight, the Emperor has summoned Guiren Wan."

  As soon as Xiang Yang's voice fell, the man in black disappeared.

  Inside the Qian Niao Pavilion, Chu Lian was just about to go to bed when she saw Qing enter the inner chamber hastily and bow her head to report: "The king has sent someone to inform the side queen that tonight, the emperor will be visiting Xiang Gui Ren."

  Upon hearing this, Chu Lian's eyes sparkled as if she had suddenly understood something. She had originally thought that even if Xi Rong did have feelings for her, given his cautious nature, it would take some time before he made any moves. Yet, tonight, he had already shown his hand.

  As they were close sisters, if Xi Rong had a crush on her, she would definitely want to show off in front of Chu Wanru.

  Let Qing retreat, Chu Lian's face was relaxed, since she had moved her thoughts, then next nothing else needed to be done. Dealing with Xū Róng this kind of person, not only can't take advantage of the situation, but should also pretend to let go. He is an emperor, always looking at things that will immediately be sent to him, if she also sends herself over in a surprised and honored manner, it would instead make him lose interest.

  The night sky was like a curtain, and the lonely moon hung low over Shengjing, as if waiting for a bloody storm stirred up by a woman.
