Nan Yue snorted disapprovingly. She didn't plan to pay him any attention as she strode out.

"Big sister wangfei, tonight is the empress dowager's birthday celebration, so we can't do anything about it. Sister Wangfei had been unrestrained since she was young, so it was normal that she wasn't used to this kind of situation. But for the sake of the Duke's Mansion's reputation and face, I ask that you bear with it for now, Big Sister Wangfei. The banquet is full of people talking too much, don't let anyone who's interested gossip about you. "

Rumors?

Ridiculous!

She's just out for a walk, what's there to talk about?!

Furthermore, she had been talking about Nan Yue behind her back. If it was because she wanted to do something like this, there were only three words: Impossible!

Nan Yue coldly glanced at her. "Don't worry, little sister. The reputation and prestige of the Prince's Mansion is enough to support little sister. Big sister, don't worry!"

Wasn't she using this as a pretext to say that she was rude and didn't understand the rules?

Well, what if she was rude and didn't know the rules? She was happy!

She hated her most. The moment she got the chance to get rid of her title as Rui Wangfei, she couldn't wait to drill in without a care in the world.

Tuoba Rui's face turned ashen. He ruthlessly grabbed her wrist and pinched the two blood vessels on her wrist, pulling her back into a sitting position. With an explosive tone, he said:

"This King said that it's not allowed, so it's not allowed..." Seeing her glaring at him and prepared to disobey him, he pressed down heavily with her fingers. "If you dare say one more word that will make This King unhappy, This King will break your little arm!"

"Hiss ~ ~" The pain from his wrist stimulated Nan Yue's nerves. As long as she lightly struggled, he would increase his strength. She was both angry and in pain, growling, "Tuoba Rui, other than using violence to force me to submit, what else would you do?!"

Tuoba Rui looked at her angry expression. His starry eyes flashed with a strange light. He bent down slightly and whispered into her ear. "This king knows how to do anything, especially you!"

"You …" Nan Yue did not expect him to say this. Her face turned red, and she shouted angrily, "Shameless!"

Tuoba Rui glanced at her in disdain. He released her wrist and ordered, "This King wants to eat grapes. Let This King peel off the grapes!"

Nan Yue gritted her teeth. She didn't want to skin the grapes. She only wanted to skin him. Bastard!

Their conversation wasn't loud, but it was as if a demonic voice was ringing in Ye Qingqing's ears.

The beautiful face was deathly pale, and her hands that rested on her knees were clenching tightly, like an egg that was reproducing within her body.

To the surprise of Ta Ba and the others, the empress dowager's birthday banquet went exceptionally smoothly. The empress dowager did not even arrange any other actions to destroy the empress dowager's birthday banquet. This more or less made people feel that something was amiss.

After the birthday feast, Tuoba Rui and others gathered at Tuoba Yu Xiu Palace.

Tuoba Rui didn't know what had happened tonight, so he couldn't help but be a bit surprised when he saw Emperor Xian reclining on the couch with a cold expression on his face.

He then turned to look at Nan Jue and Zhen Feng.

Nan Jue bitterly smiled. Ever since he had sat on the Dragon Throne, he had never seen the emperor frown. It was as if everything was within his grasp, and he was also habitually in control.

But now, there was this' Shen Zhi Qiao '… Lifting her lips, perhaps, she was the only existence the Emperor felt he was unable to control.

Seeing how difficult it was for him to speak, Tuoba Rui raised his eyebrows. He seemed to have understood a bit now.

Tuoba Yu lightly tapped the table with his fingers. His charming long eyes slightly closed and his sharp lower jaw slightly tensed up in a gloomy manner.

After a long while, he said, "Nine, I'm sorry to trouble you to personally go to the Ministry of Justice's Prison. If you still have your words in your mouth, let him go and deal with the woman you arrested a few days ago.

Tell him that he wants to stay in the Eastern Tomb City and that the imperial palace has his place at any time. If he doesn't want to return to the palace and is willing to live his carefree life in the open, I won't force him …

However, if he does anything that would harm the empress dowager again, don't blame me for not holding back on our fraternity! "

Tuoba Rui nodded. "I'll go to the Ministry of Justice's Prison shortly."

If he wanted to leave, a mere Ministry of Justice prison definitely wouldn't be able to lock him up, and the emperor didn't intend to lock him up.

Moreover, the scattered cartilage on his body would dissipate in less than half a day.

He hated how the empress dowager wished she could kill him quickly, but he didn't cause any damage tonight. This made him curious.

Tuoba Yu didn't say anything. After a moment of silence, he suddenly stood up from his seat and walked out of the hall.

As Zhen Liu saw this, he nodded towards Tuoba Rui and Nan Jue before following them.

Dragon's Nest.

Shen Zhi Qiao finished showering and walked out from behind the screen. He saw Tuoba Yu holding a large, dark grey demon in his hand. His eyes were lowered as he thought about something.

Her large eyes flickered. She had left in such a hurry that she had forgotten to return the big demon to Qi Mujing …

Feeling a gaze that seemed to be able to pierce her soul shoot towards her, Shen Zhi Qiao's heart skipped a beat. Raising her head, he looked like a fox. His long and narrow eyes were filled with a mysterious light.

Crossing his line of sight, the corners of his mouth twitched, but he did not know what he should say the first thing.

Tuoba Yu pursed his lips as he looked at her. Her long hair was tied up behind her head and some of her hair was still soaked by the mist. A broken bead had slipped down her neck and into her clothes.

Her cheeks were moist with the hot water, and her cheeks were red. Her phoenix-like eyes slightly moved as she walked towards her on foot.

The air current emanating from his body was somewhat cold.

Shen Zhi Qiao immediately noticed the change in his mood. Looking at the approaching footsteps, he panicked a little, "Tuoba Yu …" "Cover …"

What he wanted to say was swallowed into his mouth.

Tuoba Yu held her face and kissed her without admitting anything.

Shen Zhi Qiao instinctively reached out to push him, but he suppressed him in time.

Tuoba Yu squinted his cold eyes and looked straight into her misty eyes. It was a man's calmness. He didn't even need to spend much effort to guess who the owner of the calmness was.

They had seen it!

The knowledge made him angry. He was angry with her, but when she dragged her fragrant body out of the bath, he couldn't help but want to kiss her.

His heart was extremely dejected.

Shen Zhiqiao slightly raised his neck. His remaining consciousness urged her to push him away, but her body didn't reject his approach. She was even a little unwilling to immediately push him away.

Shen Zhiqiao sensed the man's next move and nervously grabbed his hand, "Tuoba Yu, I have something to tell you …"

Tuoba Yu paused. Both of his hands moved forward and pushed her onto the table. Then, he pressed her down heavily. He stared into her eyes. It was the rarely seen coldness when he stared at her. "Let's talk after this!"
