"What kind of imperial majesty do you have in your relationship?" Yuwen He said without a care, he was filled with the "I have my wife and everything" pride and satisfaction.

Ye Zichen was completely caught off guard by the love show on his face.

Tang Jingzhi looked at him disdainfully, thinking: "A woman is amazing, yet she was still punished to kneel on the washboard."

"You still haven't given me the 100,000 silver you wrote your IOU for last time." Yuwen He said with a "I can see through your thoughts" expression.

Tang Jingzhi was so angry that he almost fainted.

"You, you, you …"

"You filthy rich emperor!" Yuwen He lightly helped him to finish, "So what if I'm a money grubber? The promissory note is still in my hands. It's not hard for you not to admit it. At most, I'll take this promissory note and hand it to you!

"Can't I give it to you?!" Tang Jingzhi was afraid that he would say something, and immediately interrupted: "It's only a hundred thousand, I, Tang Jingzhi, am able to pay it back! "I guarantee that you will receive 100,000 silver tomorrow!"

Tang Jingzhi gritted his teeth as he finished speaking.

The meaning behind his words was very clear: You only said that you wanted 100,000 taels of silver, but you didn't say who it came from. Then no matter what method I use to get the silver, it's none of your business.

Yuwen He spread out his hands and made his stance clear: As long as you don't kill, burn, rape and plunder, you can do anything you want.

Tang Jingzhi threw him a look of disdain, and in a blink of an eye, he disappeared.

Gong'e looked over and became depressed. She had clearly heard the voice just now, why was it gone?

However, she didn't have the guts to investigate further. After all, the one kneeling before the empress's door was the emperor himself!

Gwyneth swallowed and slipped away.

His Majesty was still kneeling there.

It was only until Fang Weiyong came over and anxiously circled around him twice did Yuwen He lazily say: "What happened? "If you have something to say, just say it."

"Your Majesty, Yuexian came back to the Residence and said that he had to report something important." Fang Weiyong hesitated for a moment, and then said it.

As he finished speaking, he glanced at the washboard and thought to himself: If outsiders were to find out that you, the exalted ruler of a country, was actually kneeling in front of the phoenix palace to wash the clothes, how could the dignity of the ruler of a country be shown in broad daylight before the eyes of so many people?

Yuwen He saw through his thoughts at a glance, and said indifferently: "Yue Xiang will not enter the imperial harem, see. Even if he sees it, why would I, my wife, do anything to outsiders when I am having fun with my wife? "

He helped himself to his feet. After kneeling for so long, his legs were numb.

Fang Weiyong looked at him in surprise. "Your Majesty, you …"

However, Yuwen He ignored him and went straight to the door: "Min Er, we are going to take care of some government affairs. After that, we will come back and kneel."

Fang Weiyong almost lost his balance!

Xiao Ruyue who was inside had just picked up the cup of tea and took a sip, spitting everything she heard out.

Yuwen He, do you dare be more shameless!

Yin Lin and Lu Yi were so surprised that their jaws almost fell off.

Outside, Yuwen He bent down to adjust his pants, and said: "Min Er, if you don't speak, I will take it that you agree."

There was a period of silence inside, just when everyone thought that Xiao Ruyue wouldn't respond, they heard the empress's heartfelt growl.

"Scram!"

"Listen, the empress agreed." Yuwen He turned around and glanced at Fang Weiyong. However, Fang Weiyong couldn't help but shiver, and didn't dare to look his master in the eye …

Although King Wei and the Great General were both eyeing the throne covetously, no one had ever dared to do this to their lord ever since he was at his side.

He took a bold look at the expression on his lord's face and realized that his master was actually smiling foolishly.

With a face full of sweetness.

Fang Weiyong almost covered his eyes in disbelief.

After waiting for the footsteps outside to get further away, Xiao Ruyue finally recovered.

Suddenly, they met with the eyes of Yin Lin and Lu Yi, and for some unknown reason, they burst out laughing.

Even Qing Qing couldn't resist it.

Xiao Ruyue's hand was shaking from the laughter, and the people inside the teacups were also shaking. She really couldn't hold back any longer, and finally burst out in laughter.

"Young Master Du, where are you going?" In the east side of the city, Courtyard called out to Du Ziheng who had changed into a set of clothes to quickly walk out.

Du Ziheng's footsteps stalled, he calmed himself down and revealed a bit of a smile on his face, as he turned his head and said: "Steward Shay, it's you. I have some matters to attend to and will be back before dinner. "

"But Young Master Du, the inside of the city is not so peaceful, and you are the top scholar, so the look in your eyes is too obvious. Everyone there recognizes you, and if something were to happen to you while you were alone in Courtyard, we would not be able to explain ourselves to Master." Steward Shay answered tactfully.

Du Ziheng's face changed slightly. Thinking of the Sovereign King, he relaxed for a moment before saying, "Steward Shay, don't worry. Even though their target is me, the thing in front of them isn't on me. Even if they find me, they won't do anything to me."

Since Master has already instructed me to protect you, I cannot be negligent. Furthermore, I cannot let you be in danger, otherwise you will not be able to explain it to Master. " Steward Shay's face was solemn, these words were not just for show.

Du Ziheng had personally seen the expressionless Lord in the great hall. The man who wore casual clothes could not conceal his aloof temperament. After he changed into a dragon robe, he became even more dignified. He did not show any anger, so no one dared to look directly at him.

Up to this point, when he thought of the scene of the Hall Competition, his hands were still trembling.

It could be imagined that Steward Shay and the others were as respectful and fearful of the Emperor as he was.

Du Ziheng muttered to himself for a moment, before letting out a sigh, "Forget it, if Steward Shay does not mind this being a burden, I will have to trouble Steward Shay to accompany me there."

"Young Master Du is too polite." On the contrary, his aura was even more imposing than Du Ziheng's, "If Young Master Du is not willing to see an old man like me standing in your way, this old one can also send two decent people to follow Young Master."

With that, the Steward Shay revealed a smile.

Du Ziheng thought to himself: If these people that possess unique skills really wanted to follow him, how would he be able to detect them?

The Steward Shay would call him over on purpose, and even say these words, clearly wanting to remind him that no matter what he did, he shouldn't be able to hide it from the Sovereign King's eyes.

'Don't tell me that even my teacher is here? '

Du Ziheng did not dare to think further, he shook his head, putting this thought to the back of his mind, and politely bowed to Steward Shay, "Then I will have to trouble Steward Shay to arrange the carriages and horses."

"It's no trouble, Young Master Du is too polite." After Steward Shay finished, he called for his men to prepare.

After Du Ziheng explained the location to them, he got on the carriage, which finally stopped in front of the Taibai Lou's gate.

Du Ziheng got off the carriage, but walked into the Gui Lin tea house that was next door.

The two guards looked at each other, and one of them followed.

There was an elegant room in the tea house, when the waiter saw Du Ziheng entering, he welcomed him warmly. Du Ziheng said, "Find someone," and then reported the name of the elegant room.

The guard followed behind him and went up to the second floor. Before Du Ziheng entered the private room, he turned his head to glance at the guard for a second time before entering the private room. The guard stood guard at the door. Seeing that, he hurriedly went downstairs.

He was dressed in a pine green robe and had a large sleeve covering his sleeves. He carried a cup of tea and sipped at it, looking refined and unrestrained. The white hair on his temples did not diminish his elegance and grace, instead, it added a bit of the vicissitudes of time.

When he heard the door opening, he looked in the direction of the sound and saw Du Ziheng. He put down his teacup and lightly nodded.

Du Ziheng walked up to him and bowed respectfully with a deep bow, "Student greets Master."

At this time, another carriage stopped in front of the Taibai Lou.

The carriage looked unremarkable, and when the people alighted, they were all wearing bamboo hats.

Just as he was about to enter, the waiter came to greet him. He sized him up and asked curiously: "Sir, are you a guest? You should know the rules of our Taibai Lou. "

The person wearing the bamboo hat waved his hand and took out a identity token. When the waiter saw this, he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "I didn't know that the prince had arrived, I hope you can forgive me."

The person wearing the conical bamboo hat was none other than the King of Wei, Yuwen Chenglian. He stopped the waiter from kneeling and said in a low voice, "I don't want anyone to know that I am here today."

The waiter nodded in confusion and led him inside.

Only after going up to the second floor and entering Chang Jin's private room did Yuwen Chenglian take off his bamboo hat. Order the waiter of the inn said: "If the father and son of the Minister Qiu come over later, bring them to see me immediately. "Don't let anyone see you."

The waiter repeatedly acknowledged and left.

Yuwen Chenglian looked at the bamboo hat on the table.

Those idiots had made him go out in this state. It was best if they had something very important to do.

Otherwise, This King will teach you a lesson!

Yuwen Chenglian angrily slammed the table.

A woman came from the third floor. She was wearing a long blue coat with a dark blue embroidered horse mask. She looked elegant and graceful.

After the waiter came out of Yuwen Chenglian's room, he walked over to her and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "The ones who have come to meet the King is the Qiu Family's father and son."

The woman nodded, indicating that he could leave.

She looked at the door of the private room that was slightly ajar, and muttered in a low voice, "From the looks of it, you have come for the matter of the Autumn Beauty."

Suddenly, a hint of a playful smile flashed across her eyes. "The Lord is right. These people are desperate."

This woman was the mysterious female owner of the Taibai Lou, known as Sanniang.

The Sanniang never revealed his true face, so a variety of rumors came up about him. Some said that because the Sanniang was beautiful like a flower, she covered her face because she was afraid of being remembered by the people who harbored ill intentions. Some said that the Sanniang did not dare reveal her true face, and was afraid that it would be ugly to the point of scaring people.

But no one had come to a conclusion.

There had been many people who had tried to approach the Sanniang to take off her veil, but no one had succeeded.

Sanniang peeked downstairs, just in time to see the father and son of the Qiu Family enter the house one after another. A playful look flashed past Sanniang's eyes, as she directly went up to the third floor.

The third floor wasn't a place that anyone could just casually go to.
