Before he could understand, someone knelt down in front of him.

  "Your Majesty, forgive the crime!" The Hu Ben Zhonglang general trembled and said, "I was remiss in my defense, unable to protect the spirit, and even implicated Your Majesty in danger..."

  Jiang Xuanjin came back to his senses and looked at him: "Theres no need to apologize to me, the Emperor will have his own judgment on this matter."

  As soon as he heard this, Zhong Lang broke out in a cold sweat: "Your Majesty..."

  "Im just passing by, I have other things to do, so Ill leave this to you." He brushed his sleeve and re-grasped the Buddhist beads on his wrist, ready to take advantage of the situation and leave.

  "Wait!" Hua Yu shouted from behind the coffin, "Those people have all escaped! Arent you going to send someone after them?"

  Jiang Xuanjin glanced at her, didnt respond, and continued walking forward. However, Cheng Xu behind him put away his sword and walked to her side, cupping his hands in respect: "Miss, my master invites you to have a chat at the tea house next door."

  Hua Yu was surprised and looked at Jiang Xuans back before looking at him again: "Your master hasnt even spoken, how did you know he wanted to talk to me?"

  "His masters will."

  What did he mean by that? Why didnt she hear it? Li Huaiyu felt very surprised, thought for a moment, and still followed him with her skirt lifted.

  The official road was in a mess, the fire was gradually extinguished, and the thieves were not pursued by anyone in the end, disappearing easily into various parts of Kyoto.

  Huaiyu followed Chengxu up to the second floor and entered a rather elegant chamber.

  Jiang Xuanchen reached out to hold the teapot and was pouring tea when he heard a noise, without lifting his head, he asked: "What do you want to do?"

  Li Huaiyu was startled and felt like she could hardly breathe for a moment.

  Did he recognize her?

  "Its you again, blocking my way to the palace and lending a helping hand. If I were to say you had no other motives, it would be hard to convince anyone." Jiang Xuan placed the poured tea in front of her and raised his eyes to look at her, "No need to beat around the bush."

  Hearing this, Huai Yu suddenly understood. He hadnt recognized her; he just thought she was suspicious.

  She let out a sigh of relief, laughed out loud, and sat down in front of him with a swish of her robes. She picked up the teacup and took two big gulps without any courtesy, wiped her mouth and said: "Todays events were actually mostly coincidental."

  "What a coincidence?" Jiang Xuanjin seemed to smile but not quite, slowly pouring himself a cup, holding it under his nose for a light sniff, his eyes with a flowing ink color quietly staring at her, clearly not believing this explanation.

  Li Huaiyu was stared at by him, his whole body numb, his eyes rolled around, and he sighed helplessly: "It seems that its not easy to deceive you, so Ill tell the truth."

  Jiang Xuanjin nodded slightly: "Go on."

  "Its like this." With a clap of her hands, Huai Yus eyes sparkled with soft light as she stared straight at him and said, "Ive taken a liking to you."

  Jiang Xueming: "......"

  "Whats with this reaction?" Seeing his face suddenly stiffen, Huai Yu was delighted and slapped her thigh, but on the surface, she looked wronged, "Its you who forced me to say it!"

  Her eyebrows jumped, Jiang Xuanjin lowered her eyes, and suddenly felt that it was unnecessary for her to ask him to speak. This person is shameless, theres not a single true word in his mouth, no matter how you ask, its all in vain.

  He took a deep breath and pushed himself up from the table.

  "Whats wrong?" Huai Yu stood up with him, "Where are you going? I just offended you and havent apologized yet."

  Flirtatious? What a flirt! This word is usually used by young masters to tease beautiful women, who has ever seen a woman turn around and flirt with a man?

  "He said in a cold voice: No need to apologize, its all over between us!"

  Having said that, he took a step forward and wanted to leave. However, as soon as his foot stepped out, his sleeve was pulled back by someone.

  "Are you stupid?" The person behind him grabbed his sleeve, twisted his waist and kicked his foot, saying in a delicate voice, "The young ladys family said to apologize to you, it means they want to hook up with you, who cares if they really compensate or not!"

  “……”

  Jiang Xuanyin was taught by famous teachers since childhood, and he adhered to etiquette and moral integrity. He knew the importance of being honest and having a sense of shame. The people around him were all knowledgeable and well-mannered, and even if some rough and unrefined individuals encountered him, they would not dare to speak rashly in his presence.

  Never thought Id meet someone so shameless today!

  "He." He couldnt believe it and turned back to her, frowning, "Youre a young lady, how can you speak so shamelessly?"

  One eyebrow raised, Hua Yu said: "What is shyness? I really dont know. Its just that I saw you looking handsome, so I took action on the official road, and its the only unique style in the world, so I took a liking to you, admired you, and wanted to flirt with you. Is there anything strange about this?"

  Jiang Xuanjin was stunned, and Cheng Xiao beside him also looked silly. The two of them stared at her blankly, as if they were looking at a monster.

  "What? Dont want to hear it straight?" Hua Yu raised an eyebrow and smiled, her eyebrows curved, "Then Ill give you a euphemistic one?"

  As he spoke, he casually picked up a tea spoon from the side table and tapped it on the lacquered wooden carved table as he sang:

  "On a spring days banquet, a cup of green wine and a song to sing once."

  "Three wishes of Zai Bai Chen:"

  "Firstly, I wish you a long life of a thousand years; secondly, I wish myself eternal youth and health; thirdly, may we be like the swallows on the beam, meeting each other year after year."

  Her voice was like a yellow oriole, with every sentence ending in a charming little hook that made peoples hearts itch. She finished singing along with the tapping of the tea spoon, turned her head to look at him, and smiled with captivating eyes.

  "I wish to see you every year."

  Jiang Xuanyins face turned iron-green with rage.

  "Whats wrong?" Putting down the tea spoon, Huaiyu winked at him, "Still dont like it?"

  Looking at her arrogant appearance, who can like it? Jiang Xuanjin coldly smiled: "Return to the manor."

  "Yes." Cheng Xū responded, following him with a stride while turning his head back to gaze at Huái Yù with admiration.

  There were many girls in Kyoto who confessed their love to Shiyang Jun, and he could see one or two every day. However, it was the first time he had met a girl like this who could provoke her own masters anger.

  What a heroine among women!

  The heroic woman in the sedan chair smiled and watched their backs, feeling that the distance was about right, so she stepped down from the teahouse behind them.

  Jiang Xuanjin hastened along, sensing that someone was following behind him, his expression growing even more unsightly. He waved his hand for Cheng Xiao to go find a carriage, planning to shake her off.

  However, as soon as he sat in the car, he felt a sudden dip on the axle.

  "Miss." The driver outside said helplessly, "You cant sit here."

  She shifted her buttocks on the cart shaft and sat firmly, then asked innocently: "Why cant I?"

  "This is the horse carriage back to Jiangs home."

  "What a coincidence! I was just going to Jiangs house too."

  Enduring again and again, Jiang Xuanjin still couldnt endure it, reached out to lift the car curtain, and coldly looked at her saying: "What did you go to the Jiangs house for?"

  Hua Yu turned her head back and smiled at him with rosy lips and white teeth: "Go apologize, weve already been intimate, hugged each other, there must be a..."

  "Nonsense!" Jiang Xuanjins face turned dark as he cut her off, "Who has ever been intimate with you?"

  "Huai Yu glared at him with wide eyes: You still want to shirk responsibility?"

  When she jumped down at that time, she thought her lips were knocked against the stone, but when she reacted, she knew it was knocked against his teeth. Jiang Xuanjins originally somewhat pale thin lips were all dyed red by her blood, and this wasnt even considered intimate?

  Pausing for a moment, Jiang Xuanjin furrowed his brow and lowered his eyes, recalling the events that had occurred under the wall, his expression growing even more unsightly.
