Li Huaiyu had no idea what he was thinking. Lu Jinghang's body was originally injured, and sitting for a while would definitely be uncomfortable. So she grabbed the windowsill and climbed in, holding his elbow with one hand.

  Looking at her extremely cool movements, Lu Jinghang's face twitched: "The door is just over there, are you going to break your legs or something by walking a few more steps?"

  "It's nearby." Thinking of his current condition, Yueming felt a bit embarrassed and smiled wryly, using some force to help him up.

  Lu Jingxing stood up, raised his arm, and casually put it on her shoulder, just like he had done with Qingxuan earlier. His phoenix eyes sparkled as he glanced challengingly at Jiang Xuanjin beside him.

  Come on, come on, smash another vase and see? You've smashed up the whole house but I won't let you off the hook, what's going on?

  Jiang Xuancheng: "......"

  "Has the wound been dressed?" Without noticing the sharp glint in the eyes of these two, Huai Yu supported Lu Jinghang as they walked towards the door and asked.

  Lu Jinghang hooked his lips and replied: "No change, they all have heavy hands, changing medicine is still a matter for the young lady."

  It's true that Lu Jinghang has always favored girls over boys, so finding a girl to serve him would be more reliable than relying on Wu Zhao and the others. Huai Yu nodded and thought to herself that she would go find a maid later.

  However, this sentence is very cunning, Huai Yu understands his meaning, but Jiang Xuanjin frowned.

  There was only one girl named Li Huaiyu beside Lu Jingxing.

  "Your Highness." He spoke up, calling out to the person who was about to step across the threshold.

  "Holding jade for a moment, she turned her head: 'What instructions does your lordship have?'"

  He smoothed his sleeve and said, "There's something important I'd like to discuss with Your Highness."

  "What's the important thing? Hua Yu thought for a moment and said: 'Let me send Lu Zhanggui back to his room first, and then we'll discuss it?'"

  "No rush." With a slow and gentle tone, Jiang Xuanjin walked up to them, "First, let's send off Manager Lu."

  This posture, is actually going to send it with her? Huai Yu was tongue-tied, the former Zi Yang Jun was so lazy, never wasting his efforts on boring things. Now he's actually idle and willing to humble himself to do these things.

  Lü Jinghang's arm was lifted onto his shoulder, and he stabilized it. Huaiyu nodded at him, then carried the person out of the wing room.

  Jiang Xuanjin followed closely behind, listening to her bickering with Lu Jinghang all along the way.

  "How is your wound still bleeding? Are the medicines sold in the pharmacy all fake?"

  "What a joke! I, Lu Ji's pharmacy, can give Master Dong fake medicine?"

  "That's not necessarily true, if you die, won't the shop fall into their hands?"

  "......" Thinking of this, it makes sense, Lu Jinghang lowered his head and looked at his own chest, deep in thought.

  Hua Yu put him on the bed as soon as he entered the door, his movements were very gentle, but this person was constantly inhaling cold air, and his expression was also very painful.

  "Will my wound split open again?"

  Upon hearing this, Huai Yu naturally reached out to lift his collar.

  However, as soon as his hand was stretched out, it was caught by someone.

  "I'm here." Jiang Xuanjin expressionlessly pulled the person to the back of his head, then sat down at the edge of the bed with a flick of his robe. Two fingers opened Lu Jinghang's outer robe and scanned the white cloth wrapped around his body.

  "What's the crack?" He sneered coldly, "Is this all the blood you've got after really cracking?"

  Lu Jingxing rolled his eyes and said, "Is this all?"

  Is it all right if half of the white cloth is dyed red?

  He shot him a glance, and Jiang Xuanjin said in a light tone, "If this wound were on a woman's body, it would be worth making a fuss about."

  If you're going to be so timid and frightened all the time, then don't pretend to be a man, just be a woman! You'll definitely be well taken care of.

  Lu Jingxing: "......"

  Li Huaiyu stretched his neck over and asked: "Are you okay? Do you want me to call a doctor?"

  "It's nothing." The words squeezed out from between his teeth, Lu Jinghang said word by word, "Completely not worth making a fuss about!"

  "Alright." Huai Yu nodded, "Then let Jun Shang go first and have a good rest."

  Jiang Xuanjin hooked his lips and watched her walk out of the door with a resolute expression. He also stood up, put his hands behind his back, and followed her out.

  Autumn atmosphere is strong, the courtyard flowers and trees are withered, people stand, a gust of wind comes, coolness fills the face.

  Hua Yu rubbed her arm and asked: "What's wrong?"

  She glanced at him, and Jiang Xuanjin stood on her west side, saying in a light tone: "Before Ben Jun arrived at the border city, he encountered an assassination. The assassins were numerous, and their martial arts skills were not low."

  Huai Yu had heard of this matter and said with a strange expression: "Does your lord know their origins?"

  "What else could it be with so many people around Kyoto?" Jiang Xuanjin pursed his lips.

  He disobeyed orders and eventually provoked the emperor. But Li Huailian didn't come openly, instead he played a trick on him.

  "There's an idiom called 'when the lips are gone, the teeth feel cold', have you heard of it?"

  "Hai Yu pouted: 'I'm just bad at writing characters, I'm not illiterate.'"

  Yes, at first pretending to be illiterate, but still able to lean on his lap and help him read books. Jiang Xuanjin lowered his eyes, recalling the smile of that person with sparkling eyes, and his heart was still slightly warm.

  "Behind Zi Yang is Dan Yang, if Your Majesty insists on taking action against Zi Yang, I'm afraid you won't have many more peaceful days either." He said in a low voice, "Why not cooperate?"

  Li Huaiyu looked at him with raised eyebrows: "You and me? Cooperate?"

  "Isn't it strange for the master of Zi Yang and the master of Dan Yang to be working together?" Jiang Xuanjin's voice was calm.

  He seems to have let go more decisively than her, in front of her, he is just the master of Zi Yang. In his eyes, she is also just the master of Dan Yang. With the same interests, they cooperate, who cares what happened in the past? Everyone is not a child anymore.

  However... Huai Yu narrowed her eyes: "You want to cooperate, don't you also need to show some sincerity? You've been blocking our way out of the city, how can my people trust you?"

  Jiang Xuanjin said: "At that time, if you hadn't been stopped, you would have gone to the next city and would have been thrown into prison immediately."

  What does it mean? Wai Yu doesn't understand.

  The man in front of him rarely explained: "The leader who blocked you is from Kyoto."

  Emperors of all ages, in order to ensure the stability and obedience of their fiefs, would place their own people in each county and prefecture, constantly monitoring the situation and reporting back to the emperor. As Ziyang Jun had never returned to Ziyang before, they had to hand over control one place at a time, removing the emperor's informants in order to ensure their safety.

  With a hint of embarrassment, she scratched her temples and said, "It seems we've wronged you, I'll go explain to them later."

  Jiang Xuanjin looked down at her, suddenly remembering that this person actually had many habitual small movements. When she was embarrassed, she would scratch her temples with her index finger, when she was sad, she would look down at the tip of her shoes, and when she was nervous, she would bite her fingernails.

  It was he who had never thought in that direction, so he didn't discover it.

  Actually, if she had revealed her true identity herself, he might not have been so angry, and wouldn't even have wanted to confront her, directly sentencing her to death in his heart. But it was precisely Liu Yunlie who uncovered the truth, making him feel like a real fool, being played with and still firmly believing in her.

  The anger that flashed up in front of the imperial study, with sword in hand, was not so much because she had rebelled, but rather because he himself was hating himself, hating to the point where his hands lost all sense of lightness and heaviness.

  Her icy fingertips touched her neck, Li Huaiyu was startled and took a step back, frowning: "Jun Shang?"

  Somehow coming back to his senses, Jiang Xuanjin averted his gaze: "Sorry."

  She stroked the scar on her neck, and Hua Yu's eyes flickered as she gazed at him for a moment before suddenly smiling: "Come to think of it, the people in my palace are also familiar with you, Your Highness. If we can return to Danyang smoothly this time, cooperation is not impossible."

  The people in her palace... Jiang Xuanjin sneered, indeed familiar, ten concubines, not one he hadn't seen before. Every day when he pushed open the gates of Feiyun Palace, he could see her embracing someone, teasing and joking around, completely without any dignity.

  He loves cleanliness, so he hates Danyang the most.

  His fingers slowly clenched into a fist, Jiang Xuanjin asked: "Your Highness's words, are you reminding this king of something?"

  "Yes." Huai Yu smiled and pointed at herself, "You'd better take a good look at who I am."

  He could accept the bold and beautiful Bai Zhen, but he couldn't possibly accept the notorious Li Huaiyu. The truth had already been revealed, yet he still looked at her with this expression, what if she couldn't hold back and softened? This wound on his neck was not something he wanted to experience again.

  His eyes gradually turned cold, and Jiang Xuanjin said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern."

  "No need to be polite." Hua Yu pouted, looking down at her shoe tips, "Let's get down to business, what kind of cooperation does the king have in mind?"

  The west wind was blowing wildly, sweeping over and blowing on Zi Yang Jun's back, her black hair fluttering forward, brushing against her cheek.

  She listened quietly as he spoke, nodding from time to time. He was calm and so was she.

  "I understand." After a long while, Huai Yu said, "Since you still dare to trust me, then I also have no reason not to trust you. But this matter of discussing every day at the hour of xu... won't it be too troublesome?"

  "It won't," said Jiang Xuanjin, "If we are to be united against a common enemy, then we must share information. I don't mind telling Your Highness everything, what is it that you mind?"

  It's also said that Huaiyu clapped her hands: "Then it's settled, it's cool outside, and Jun Shang has injuries on his back, so it's best to rest early."

  Jiang Xuanjin didn't move, standing still and gazing sideways at her as she returned to her own room, only then exhaling a light breath.

  "Master!" Chongxu had been hiding beside them for a long time, and seeing that the two of them had finally finished talking, he came forward and said, "Someone has come to Kyoto again!"

  "As usual." He coldly threw out these two words and turned around, wanting to leave.

  "It's no use this time!" Cheng Xū followed him and said, "The one leading the charge is Lord Bai."

  His footsteps froze, Jiang Xuanjin furrowed his brow: "Bai Dezhong?"

  "Yes."

  A surge of anger rose up in his chest, Jiang Xuanjin sneered: "I don't even know who taught him these tricks!"

  Bai Dezhong is a good official and has always been loyal to the country, never making any mistakes. Li Huailian is also good, but he was used as a shield to deal with him.

  What would Bai Yu Shi think of such behavior? What would others in the imperial court think?

  "What shall we do, Master?" asked Cheng Xiao.

  "What else can be done? Taking a deep breath, Jiang Xuanjin said: "Let him go.""

  Let alone the white pearl, he can't even move the heavy burden of his conscience.

  Linjiang Mountain is only fifty miles away from Biancheng. At dusk, Bai Dechong stepped into the prefectural governor's mansion.

  "Father?" Li Huaiyu ran into him as soon as he went out and was so frightened that he jumped back in surprise.

  Bai De's expression was complex as he looked at her: "Your Highness."

  "Ah...... don't." Yuaoyu forced a smile, "Isn't it strange for you to call me 'Your Highness' with this face? Just call me like before, I'll be your daughter!"

  Bai De shook his head: "I'm afraid I won't have this good fortune."

  Her face fell, and she said pitifully, "You don't want me anymore?"

  Her appearance was still as elegant as white jade, but her personality was really like a sudden change in the weather. Pearl had never coquettishly acted this way with him before.

  Bai Dechong felt somewhat unaccustomed and said with a serious face: "Your Highness is the favored daughter of Heaven, how can you say such things?"

  "Used to be a proud daughter of heaven, but not anymore." Huai Yu smiled and pointed at herself, "Now I'm here to pay respects to you on behalf of Bai Zhu!"

  She said that she was second to none, and no one in the world dared to claim first place. These words hit Bai De's soft spot, and even the most serious people couldn't help but look at her with red eyes.

  Hua Yu followed the trend and replaced him by pinching his shoulders: "How did you come here?"

  His attitude softened a lot, and Bái Dé pointed at the group of people following far behind: "They brought an imperial edict."

  Imperial Decree?

  Her smile suddenly disappeared, and Li Huaiyu turned her head to look around.

  Outside the moon gate of the courtyard, a group of imperial guards were gripping their scabbards, protecting a bright red sedan chair. Next to the sedan chair stood a eunuch with a yellow hat, holding a roll of yellow silk in his hands, motionless.

  This array, the imperial edict doesn't need to be announced to know what it contains.

  "It's actually you who came to see me off." Huai Yu narrowed her eyes and smiled again, "It really is a case of bloodlines being in sync, this kind of move is just like six years ago when Ping Ling Jun had me lead the way to meet with various monarchs who had rebellious intentions."

  In the past, the various regional kings would not move against Princess Long, and today's Jiang Xuanjin will also not move against Bai Dechong. But what about the outcome of Pingling Jun? Is Huai Lin still unclear?

  While he takes advantage of others, they will also remember his hatred. The Marquis of Pingling can teach cunning means, but cannot teach human nature.

  "Master Bai." Jiang Xuanjin came out of the room and stood beside Huai Yu, bowing to him.

  "Bai Dezhong returned a courtesy: 'Your Majesty, the imperial edict has arrived.'"

  "After traveling in the wind and dust for a long time, let's take a bath and change our clothes first. After having dinner, we can discuss the imperial edict."

  "This...," Bai De hesitated somewhat, "according to the rules..."

  "Ah, never mind all that." Huaiyu smiled and pulled him along as they walked inside, "Your demeanor is more important than anything else, go wash up first and take a look at the dust on your beard!"

  Half pushing and half pulling, Bai De finally entered the guest room. Huai Yu called out to them to come and take care of him while making a gesture with her eyes towards Jiang Xuanjin.

  Jiang Xuanjin nodded in agreement and let Cheng Xu take the eunuch holding the imperial edict outside to rest, then dispersed the Imperial Guards, leaving only a few people to watch over the sedan chair.

  Then Huaiyu easily lifted the curtain of the bridal sedan chair.

  "Hey, long time no see!" Seeing the person wearing a pearl crown inside, she called out with a hint of a smile, "Second Sister."

  Bai Xue sat upright, hearing the sound and looking at her through the beaded curtain, coldly sneering: "Don't call me Second Sister, you're a fugitive, I'm the legitimate daughter of the Bai family."

  Holding the door frame of her sedan chair with one hand, she raised an eyebrow and said with a hint of annoyance: "A proper White family daughter? How come no one sent a betrothal gift and you show up dressed like that?"

  "What do you know?" Bai Xueqi straightened her back and said, "I have been granted a marriage by the Emperor."

  "Does an imperial marriage gift mean no betrothal gifts are needed?"

  She slightly choked back a sob, and Bai Xuanji lightly hummed: "You can be jealous as much as you want, but it's useless. I am the emperor's personally appointed Jun Fu Ren."

  Jealousy? Being able to say this word means that Bai Xueji still doesn't know her true identity.

  She played with her jade pendant and teased her: "Didn't you want to marry Jiang Yan before? Now you're going to be the wife of a noble, aren't you afraid of being criticized?"

  To be honest, Bai Xueqi was also very entangled on this road. The news of her engagement to Jiang Yan had been spread out, although they never got married, but the people of Kyoto all knew about it. Now suddenly being bestowed marriage to Prince Ziyang, although it's said to be a better match, she's also afraid of rumors and gossip.

  However, at this moment, seeing the person in front of her who was sworn to be her arch-nemesis, Bai Xueji clenched her fists. Because of her, Bai Mengshi was still locked up in prison. Because of her, she had a hard time getting married and lost her father's favor. Compared to others, she wanted to see this person suffer even more!

  With a calm and composed demeanor, Bai Xueqi smiled and said: "You're not afraid, what do I have to fear? I heard that the Emperor himself personally sent you to prison, how is it that previously you two were so loving?"

  The two of them had a deep and affectionate appearance at the entrance of Jiang's mansion, does she still remember it now? There's a saying that goes like this: The more emotions are shown to others, the more fake they are. Look, isn't it her turn to be laughed at now?

  Li Huaiyu really had no way to refute this, she scratched her chin and felt a bit embarrassed.

  Bai Xuan saw her expression and felt happy, sneering with a smile, wanting to sarcastically say a few more words.

  However, a man came over and put a cloak on Li Huaiyu's shoulder.

  "With such a strong wind, do you still want to stand?" Jiang Xuanjin stretched out his hand, turned her body around, grabbed the belt of her cloak and slowly tied it for her, "Just say two words."

  Hua Yu was dazed and raised her eyes to look at him, somewhat perplexed.

  Jiang Xuanjin's dark eyes gleamed with light as she glanced at her once, then looked again at the person in the sedan chair.

  So Hua Yu understood that when it was just the two of them, they could squeeze and bully each other as much as they wanted, and it didn't matter if they held a huge grudge against each other. But if someone else came to disrupt their scene, they still had to present a united front.

  She smiled and said: "I thought you were busy, so I didn't rush to leave."

  "Go sit in the house, dinner is ready." Long fingers tied a bow with the sash.

  Hua Yu's mouth twitched as she looked at it, and she disdainfully fiddled with the knot. Jiang Xuanjin narrowed his eyes, his gaze not very friendly.

  Isn't this uncooperative?

  Hurriedly smiling, Huai Yu cooperated and said: "Help me up, my legs are sore."

  He nodded, ignoring her outstretched arm and directly placed his hand on her waist.

  "Let's go."

  A shiver ran through her entire body, and Huai Yu took two steps forward, unable to help but say in a low voice: "Your Highness, could you change your posture?"

  Just hold my arm!

  Jiang Xuanjin paused for a moment, slightly furrowing his brow as if he was in a dilemma. But after some thought, he still put down his hand.

  Hua Yu let out a breath of relief and was about to say thank you, but before she could, the man bent down and scooped her up in his arms, cradling her horizontally.

  "Wow! What are you doing!" One of them couldn't help but exclaim, "I didn't mean it like that!"

  "What does that mean?" He carried her straight into the house and gently placed her on the edge of the table. Jiang Xuanjin's face was expressionless as he said, "Please ask Your Highness to be clear next time."

  Li Huaiyu: “……” She thought normal people could understand her gestures.

  Everyone had dinner together, but Bai Xuanji was not welcomed and insisted on staying in the sedan chair without getting out. As a result, no one brought her food either. The group of people ate quietly in the dining hall. Bai Dechong's expression was solemn, and he finished his meal quickly, as if he had something to say to Jiang Xuanjin, but due to the rule of not speaking while eating at the Jiang residence, he could only wait.

  Holding the jade in both hands, they scooped out the empty bowl and looked around.

  Jiang Xuanjin's eating posture was very elegant, but it was just too slow, making her want to pry open his mouth and pour all the food in.

  Noticing her gaze, Jiang Xuanjin paused and put down his chopsticks, turning to ask her: "What's wrong?"

  "Not so fast! Not so fast!" Huai Yu hastily waved her hand. "Hurry up, Father is still waiting."

  Jiang Xuanjin pursed his lips, picked up the chopsticks again, and reached out to pick up a dish with his sleeves rolled up. For some reason, he couldn't pick up a piece of lettuce no matter how hard he tried.

  Li Huaiyu was an impatient person. Looking at him like this would make one angry to death. He picked up the chopsticks he had just put down and said, "I'll do it!"

  Quickly and accurately, with a clip and a release, the lettuce fell into Jiang Xuanjin's bowl.

  He lowered his head and carefully picked it up with chopsticks, sending it into his mouth. After swallowing, he tried to pick some more, but still couldn't manage to pick any up.

  "Your pen is so handy, but you're so clumsy with chopsticks?"

  Jiang Xuanjin raised his eyes and was about to put down his chopsticks to answer her.

  "Wait, wait, wait!" Seeing Bái Dézhòng's anxious face, Huái Yù hurriedly pressed down on his hand, "You eat quickly, I'll help you pick!"

  As she spoke, she continuously added three slices of lotus root to his bowl, thought for a moment, and then added some meat. She also poured him a bowl of soup and placed it beside him.

  Ziyang Jun's mood was very good, and he elegantly ate the things she gave him one by one. Then, he put down his chopsticks and looked at Bai Dezhong: "Sir, please speak."

  Bai Dezhong let out a long sigh, cupped his hands and said: "As for why I'm here, Your Majesty should also understand in your heart. There's no need to say more. I only want to ask one thing of you."

  "Please go ahead, sir."

  He glanced at the door and said, "Xuanji is innocent, she is also my own daughter, as decreed by His Majesty, I hope you will show mercy."

  Originally, he was going to give the Qi family's daughter to him, but seeing that it wouldn't work out, he simply sent the Bai family's daughter instead. Will you accept or not? If you don't accept, you'll offend White Dezhong; if you do accept, you'll cut off all ties with Danyang.

  This trick of sowing discord is used very beautifully.

  Jiang Xuanjin's face slightly sank: "As for marriage, I have always disliked others interfering, even if it is the emperor."

  Bai De frowned: "I understand, but can you defy the imperial edict? The land of Ziyang is east of the capital, north of Pingling, and west of Changlin. Pingling now belongs to Your Majesty's direct control, and Changlin Jun is a person who is easily incited. Once you are convicted of defying the imperial edict, you will be attacked on three sides."

  Everyone understands this principle, so Purple Sun must not disobey the imperial edict at this time. Li Huailian considered it very carefully and sent a white jade pendant, which would not immediately force Purple Sun to rebel, but would make him suffer greatly.

  Hua Yu stroked her chin thoughtfully for a moment before saying, "I can only accept the edict."

  Her sharp eyes swept over from the side, she met them head-on without evasion, and said seriously: "You can't just rise up in revolt against the emperor now, can you?"

  That's what she said, but what does it mean that she let him take the order so calmly? Jiang Xuanjin was very displeased and got up to leave.

  Cheng Xiao stepped forward and smoothed things over: "This matter is of great importance, so I beg the Honorable Censor to give us some time, allowing His Majesty to consider it carefully."

  Bai De nodded heavily.

  "Madam," Cheng Xiao whispered beside her, "Can you persuade him?"

  "Your master is so clever, where does he need me to advise?" Hua Yu rolled her eyes and said, "I'm going back to rest now."

  "Ah..." He scratched his head in frustration.

  Li Huaiyu walked resolutely, first took a look at Lu Jinghang, then sent all the others to sleep, and finally lay on the bed, staring blankly at the top of the tent.

  "The Book of Letting Go" She wrote that Jiang Xuanjin was no longer related to her, and the person in his position would eventually remarry, whoever he married made no difference to her, she didn't need to worry at all.

  It's just that Bai Xueqi... has never seen eye to eye with her, and if she really gets blown into Jiang Xuanyi's ear in the future, it'll be a bit troublesome.

  She had been worried for a long time, and her consciousness gradually became blurred, drowsiness struck, and everything in front of her was hazy.

  The house with the lights already turned off suddenly lit up again.

  "Who is it?" she muttered.

  A cyan-colored robe brushed against the bedside, someone reached out and patted her, softly saying: "Sleep."

  The familiar fragrance of sandalwood, Hua Yu hummed softly, without opening her eyes: "What are you doing here?"

  Jiang Xuanjin helplessly said: "The room is packed with people."

  Bai Xueqi went to his room and sat up straight, waiting for him to remove his pearl crown.

  Hua Yu hummed and smiled, turning over to hug the pillow, mumbling: "Even Zi Yang Jun has a day when he is forced out of his room."

  "Yes." He pulled up the quilt to cover her back, saying, "Please trouble Your Highness to stay for a night."

  "On the table or on the ground, you can sleep wherever you like." Really sleepy, Huai Yu waved her hand and her voice became smaller, "No time to entertain you..."

  The room fell silent, with gentle breathing sounds one after another, like a cat's paw scratching lightly.

  Jiang Xuanjin quietly lowered his head to look at her, she seemed to be sleeping very soundly lately, unlike before, when he would move and she would wake up with a start. Now even if he put his hand on her face, she didn't react at all.

  It's actually possible to drive Bai Xueqi away, but Jiang Xuanyu suddenly felt that it was quite good for his room to be occupied.

  Hua Yu slept soundly and had a very peaceful dream, in which feathers brushed against her lips, carrying the faint scent of incense from the Buddhist temple.

  The next day, when Li Huaiyu got up, Qingxuan was already waiting beside him.

  "Master Bai is leaving today," he said. "You'd better get up and pack, Master Jun said that after Master Bai leaves, we can set off too."

  He looked around and asked him, "When did you come?"

  Qing Xuan replied: "It will arrive at 4 o'clock."

  "...haven't seen anyone?"

  "Huh?" Qing Xuan was puzzled, "Who is it?"

  "It's nothing." Huai Yu got out of bed and rubbed her head, thinking that she was too tired yesterday and had been dreaming all along.

  After putting away her things, she went to the dining hall, where Bai Xueqi was already seated.

  She took off her wedding dress and changed into everyday clothes, and her hair was also styled in a woman's bun.

  "She got up a bit late." She changed her previous hostile attitude and said to her in a very gentle tone, "Fortunately, I asked Jun Shang to wait a little longer, otherwise you would have nothing to eat."

  Looking at her like this, Huai Yu sighed and thought that Zi Yang Jun was really formidable. In just one night, he had turned a resentful wife into a virtuous woman.

  It's impossible to say that it feels comfortable in her heart, but she has always been good at hiding her emotions, not showing any embarrassment: "Then thank you, Second Sister."

  "Don't be polite." Bai Xueji said, "You said that as a woman who has been abandoned, your life is not easy to live, we should take care of you more."

  The one behind him suddenly turned pale: "Bai Erjie."

  "Huh, who is this?" Bai Xueqi took a look at Wu and then looked at Li Huaiyu, "It can't be...?"

  Hua Yu smiled and pressed down on the zither, saying to her: "It's your father-in-law, are you satisfied?"

  She smiled sweetly, but her words were very coarse. Bai Xuanji's face sank slightly: "No wonder she was divorced, what upbringing?"

  "Go ask your dad about this." Hua Yu raised an eyebrow and nodded towards the door, "Look, they're all here."

  Bai Xuanji turned her head and saw that Zi Yangjun and Bai Dechong had stepped through the door together.

  She immediately shut her mouth and lowered her head to look at the porridge in the bowl.

  "Everyone is here." Jiang Xuanjin walked over and sat down naturally beside Li Huaiyu.

  With a smile on her face and anger in her heart, she gave him a cold shoulder.

  Why didn't you accompany your new wife and instead came over to squeeze in with her?

  Jiang Xuanjin was stared at in a daze, didn't make a sound, silently finished breakfast, then took her to see off Bái Dézhòng.

  The rolled-up imperial edict was never opened, and the eunuch did not read it out loud, but Bái Dézhòng took the person away just like that, planning to return and report to His Majesty, saying that Zǐyáng Jūn had received the edict. As for Bái Xuějī, Bái Dézhòng had no other requests, only asking him to treat him well, waiting for this wave of trouble to pass before thinking of a solution.

  Jiang Xuanjin thought this method was feasible, and he bid farewell to him with courtesy, sending him off with a very good attitude.

  Hua Yu stood by and watched, waiting for the carriage to go far away before turning her head to leave.

  Her wrist was caught by someone and her steps paused. She turned back and said in a bad tone: "Let go."

  "What have I done wrong again?" Jiang Xuanjin frowned, "You haven't had a good face all morning."

  Do you still want a good face? Hua Yu turned back, sneering: "You and I are just cooperating for mutual benefit, now that there's no outsider, do you also want me to smile and welcome you?"

  His jaw clenched tightly, Jiang Xuanjin stiffened for a moment before releasing his grip: "Also, it's too much to trouble Your Highness."

  Hua Yu waved her hand: "We'll be leaving soon, just let me know when it's time. I'm going to take a look at Lu Jinghang."

  He looked at him again, before going to bed and after getting up, wasn't it just a few knife wounds? Jiang Xuanjin sneered, clenching his fists as he stood in place.

  The side gate of the county government office was left with only him and Cheng Xiao behind, as if after a big show had ended, it was desolate to the point of being eerie.

  "Your Highness." someone called out softly to him.

  Jiang Xuanjin didn't even turn his head: "If Miss Bai wants to stay here, it's best not to talk to me."

  Bai Xuan was so frightened that her face turned pale, she grasped the hem of her skirt and stood eight steps behind him, saying in a low voice: "I didn't mean to strike up a conversation, but there's something I need to tell you, it's about Fourth Sister!"

  Jiang Xuanjin glanced sideways at her.

  Bai Xuanji hastily said: "Previously, Xi Yun went to find Ling Xiu and accidentally found a copper pendant in her bundle, which was Lu Zhuanggui's. I thought it was strange that she, as a lowly maid, would be favored by Lu Zhuanggui? After investigating the records of people entering and leaving the mansion, we discovered that after your engagement with Fourth Sister, this maid frequently left the mansion and returned shortly afterwards. There were even several instances where someone in the mansion saw Lu Zhuanggui entering and exiting the Western Wing!"

  Lu Jingxing had long known that Bai Zhen was Li Huaiyu, so he treated her differently from others.

  Jiang Xuanjin listened silently, and when she finished speaking, he turned his sleeve and walked towards his own room.

  "Your Majesty doesn't believe me?" Bai Xueqi asked, biting her lip in pursuit of an answer.
