Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 177 Sleepless Night
After the coronation ceremony, Zhao Wumian stood on the high platform outside the Taiji Hall with his hands behind his back, gazing at the capital covered in snow. He looked thoughtful and his handsome face was stern and extraordinary.

The whole world was in turmoil because of Zhao Wumian, but on the ninth day of the first lunar month, the night when Luo Chaoyan ascended the throne, the famous Wei Ming Hou was actually still worried about where to stay at night.

Several dancers and singers from the Jiaofang Bureau who had not yet left hid behind the stone steps of the Taiji Hall, and poked their heads out to look at the new marquis with curiosity and amazement in their eyes.

Wei Ming Hou is really handsome.

According to his original plan, after helping Luo Chaoyan ascend the throne, the two of them would meet secretly from time to time to exchange information and feelings... Luo Chaoyan would help him find his enemies, and he would help Luo Chaoyan deal with the affairs of the world.

Rational and orderly, methodical, free and easy, and with a chivalrous style.

But although he had such an idea, he did not expect Luo Chaoyan to take the blame directly on him. The Dali River would certainly be in turmoil because of Luo Chaoyan's "illegal position" and "immoral killing of his brother", but it also prevented Zhao Wumian from being charged with too serious a crime and wandering around the world.

However, there are some foreseeable disadvantages... When Xiao Yuanmu hears the news, he will probably be furious and come over to chop Zhao Wumian, the traitor, to pieces.

I asked you to go to the palace and steal nine bells, a heinous crime, but you turned around and became a marquis?
Of course, it is also possible that Xiao Yuanmu felt that he had made a contribution by infiltrating Dali.

It’s hard to say. It’s not clear whether Zhao Wumian is Xiao Yuanmu’s man.

But as Luo Chaoyan said, she did all this just because she didn't want Zhao Wumian to suffer any injustice.

This idea is definitely not suitable for being an emperor...but who wouldn't be tempted when an emperor treats you like this?
Zhao Wumian had been through a lot of swordplay along the way, but with this ending, it didn't seem like he had helped the wrong person.

I have gone off topic. Anyway, Zhao Wumian no longer needs to go into exile... As the Marquis of Weiming, one of the few in the whole of Dali, he can naturally live in the capital and use it as his base.

The matter of Luo Chaoyan ascending the throne has been settled. Although there are still a lot of messy things like the Rong people blocking the pass and "killing his brother and being immoral", Zhao Wumian should also focus on his own affairs next.

If you want to build the bridge between heaven and earth, you must first regain your memory so that you can understand your own "Tao".

But this matter cannot be rushed. To find Xiao Yuanmu, one has to go to Jiangnan, and to find Guiyi Zhenren, one has to go to Jiangxi. Both are thousands of miles away. There is also Ji Yingshi, who is probably a half-immortal and whose whereabouts is unknown.

Before that, let Luo Chaoyan use the power of the court to help him investigate.

And even if I knew who I was, I might not be able to get my memories back... My memories were restored by Naraku Hongsi because of my lack of experience.

Therefore, the key to restoring memory must still lie in Naraku Hongsi...and as for how to get his memory back, Zhao Wumian has no idea yet.

You can only use the "backtracking method" more often to improve your proficiency first.

Speaking of which, there are also the three treasures needed for the Innate All-Poison Body that the purple-clothed girl entrusted to her at that time, namely Jiuli Gu, Tianxuan Dust, and Longliao Blood.

According to the purple-clothed girl, once the poisonous body is formed, the blood in the body will be full of poisons, and even the martial arts champion will have to avoid it... If Zhao Wumian cannot communicate with the bridge of heaven and earth for a while, the only way to greatly improve his combat power is to use the innate poisonous body.

Thinking about it this way, although Luo Chaoyan ascended the throne, there is still a lot for him to do.

Oh, where is the purple-clothed girl? Didn't they say she was following Luo Chaoyan? Why didn't I see her?

Zhao Wumian actually missed her a little.

He lived in the mountains with the purple-clothed girl for less than two days, but those two days were indeed a rare leisure time for Zhao Wumian after he woke up.

He liked the days when he lived with the girl in purple.

He looked back at the Tai Chi Hall...the door was closed and the lights were off.

Luo Chaoyan led her troops to the capital after a long journey and ascended the throne without a moment's rest. She didn't know any martial arts and was indeed tired. She has now returned to the harem to rest.

Ask her tomorrow.

Before that, think about where to live...During this period of time, whether it is Shen Xiangge, Su Qingqi, or Mu Lier, they all want him to have a good rest...Now that this matter is over, it is indeed time to take a break.

But he is just a marquis and he doesn't have any property in the capital, and Luo Chaoyan didn't allocate any fiefdom to him... It's impossible for a marquis to stay in an inn every day or sleep in a brothel at night, right?
Although Zhao Wumian is a marquis, he has no money... He got all the money from Miss Su, Guan Yunshu and his master.

Miss Su’s Su Mansion, the Detective Department, and the Sword Sect branch are all places where you can live... but you can’t always live under someone else’s roof.

He and Miss Su must also have their own home in the capital.

Zhao Wumian felt warm in his heart when he thought of Su Qingqi. After Su Qingqi attended the coronation ceremony, she was called back to the Su Mansion by her mother, probably to entrust her with something... Zhao Wumian wanted to go with her, but Su Qingqi blushed and was unwilling to do so.

Obviously, he felt that it was too early for Zhao Wumian to "meet his parents" now.

Zhao Wumian looked up at the sky. The snow was drifting, but it was gradually getting smaller. He believed that in a few days, the spring rain would come and winter would turn into spring.

With the sound of firecrackers a year old, the spring breeze sent warmth to Tusu.

It’s time to get warmer... Thinking of this, Zhao Wumian patted his robe and went down the stairs.

Let’s find a place to stay for one night… let’s go to the Sword Sect branch. It’s a good opportunity to talk to Master about my own martial arts journey and see if I can gain anything.

As a result, after walking a few steps, Shen Xiangge came slowly with her skirt lifted up, stepped on lotus steps, stood at the stone steps in front of the Taiji Hall, raised her head slightly, and asked with a smile: "No place to stay?"

Zhao Wumian raised his eyebrows and walked down the stone steps, "Why haven't you left yet?"

"I just chatted with my aunt about family matters." Shen Xiangge came close to Zhao Wumian, let go of her skirt, and tidied up her black hair hanging in front of her shoulders. She asked curiously, "What letter did you give to the emperor during the coronation ceremony?"

Zhao Wumian shook his head, "This is a private matter of His Majesty, I cannot disclose it."

Zhao Wumian was not going to disclose the cooperation with Canghua Tower to anyone... After all, Canghua Tower was an evil sect, and with his status as a marquis, if he disclosed this, it would only bring shame to Luo Chaoyan.

Shen Xiangge curled his lips, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

Do you really think I don't know what that letter is? I sent it to you, but you don't know about it and you want to hide it from me. It's really funny.

Shen Xiangge liked the feeling of having Zhao Wumian toyed with in the palm of his hand. It was so cool.

Shen Xiangge said with a smile: "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me... Hey, since you have no place to live, why don't you come with me to the Shen Mansion?"

Over the past few days, many beautiful female disciples of Canghua Tower have gone to the Shen Mansion as maids.

While Su Qingqi was away, he tricked Zhao Wumian into the Shen Mansion, and had some kind of affair with those female disciples. In the end, he inadvertently revealed that the female disciples were actually disciples of Canghua Tower. The two shared a common secret, and then carried out some secret mission of Canghua Tower together... Isn't that how feelings are cultivated?
As a demon girl from the Demon Sect, Shen Xiangge knows everything about the matters between men and women.

"You and I are not related at all, why would I go to the Shen Mansion?" Zhao Wumian looked at Shen Xiangge.

She has a slender waist, a straight chest, a tall figure, and a gourd-like figure. Despite her beautiful figure, her face is mature, yet carries the gracefulness and innocence of a young lady in the boudoir... She has a very pure and sensual style, and is worthy of being one of the two most beautiful women in the capital.

But Zhao Wumian was not a sex-hungry ghost. It was impossible for him to follow Shen Xiangge to live in the Shen Mansion without a reasonable reason.

Shen Xiangge said seriously: "Thanks to you, my Shen family also has a share of the merit of following the dragon. It was because of you that my Shen family was saved from danger... Both favors should be repaid. My father has already held a banquet in the mansion, and there are also the Grand Marshal, the Imperial Censor and other high-ranking officials in the court, waiting for you to go."

This is actually the truth. Shen Xiangge did ask Shen Yiwen to hold a banquet in his mansion.

Then she added, "Although you have been granted the title of Marquis, you are still a well-known figure in the capital... You have to meet with father and other high-ranking officials in the court. If you want to marry Miss Su in the future, or want to become a queen, it will be more convenient if you have the support of other high-ranking officials in the court, right?"

This actually makes sense. Without talking about interests, just looking at the etiquette, Shen Yiwen wants to thank you in person and hold a banquet for you. There is actually no reason not to go... We are not enemies, so why not even give you the courtesy of having a meal together.

But Zhao Wumian was suspicious, "You...are so serious for once, you wouldn't put drugs in my wine when I went to the Shen Mansion?"

The corner of Shen Xiangge's eye twitched. In fact, she really wanted to put an aphrodisiac in Zhao Wumian's wine.

"Are you going or not?"

Zhao Wumian thought about it, but before he could reply, he saw a guard in black armor walking quickly on the snow. "My Lord, there is someone outside the palace who wants to see you. He claims to be Mu Lier from the Sword Sect. He wants you to return to the Sword Sect as soon as possible. He has something to discuss."

Shen Xiangge was slightly stunned. What was there to discuss... This little bitch from the Sword Sect was trying to snatch someone from her! ?
Zhao Wumian frowned and glanced at Shen Xiangge. In fact, he didn't want to reject her good intention, so he said to the black armor guard: "If I am in the palace in the future, Master Mu can enter the palace directly if she wants to... You can call her in."

This was actually against the rules. Not everyone could enter the palace if they wanted to. Even a marquis could not enter the palace without the emperor's summons... But Zhao Wumian was special after all. When he spoke, no one dared to question him.

Compared to going to the Shen Mansion, Zhao Wumian wanted to be with his master more... But this was not a big deal. He would go to the Shen Mansion with Shen Xiangge to have a meal first, and then accompany his master to the Sword Sect. One night was a long time.

However, I have to call the master over and explain it to her face to face. I can't let her misunderstand and think that I don't respect her just because I'm a marquis.

Shen Xiangge frowned, but before Mu Lier came in, the Queen's personal maid Lian Xue came running over, "My Lord, the Queen is looking for you... Eh? The young lady is here too."

Shen Xiangge had a bad feeling in his heart, "What did my aunt ask him to do?"

Lian Xue came to the two of them, bowed respectfully, and then said crisply: "When the Marquis entered the palace, he frightened the queen. Although the emperor enlightened her that she knew that she had no choice that night, the queen was still upset about it. So she wanted the Marquis to go to Kunning Palace for a meal and apologize to her at the table, and then the matter would be over."

What you said... is actually reasonable.

Although it was just an act at the beginning, outsiders didn't know about it, so this reason was reasonable. Moreover, as for the Queen's mental illness, Zhao Wumian actually didn't know whether the Queen was pretending or was really frightened.

It was indeed a bit rude at the beginning. He pressed the queen on the dragon bed in the study of Taiji Hall. How could it not be rude? It was normal for the queen to want Zhao Wumian to apologize.

Shen Xiangge's expression froze... Why did my aunt come to join in the fun?
In just a few words, Mu Lier had already flown into the Taiji Palace. She was wearing white fox fur and had a beautiful face. She was full of breathtaking charm among the snow, but her eyes were looking left and right, a little curious, obviously she didn't often enter the palace... This curious look, different from her usual carefree and brave appearance, made her look cute.

In just a few steps, Mu Lier had already arrived in front of them, smiling, "It is thanks to you that I can enter and leave the palace at will."

"The master is the young lady of the Yanyunmu family, and the master of the eldest daughter of King Yan... She is qualified to enter the palace." Zhao Wumian forced a smile.

Mu Lier noticed that Zhao Wumian's expression was a little strange, with a bit of doubt on his face, and then she heard Shen Xiangge ask Lian Xue, "Aunt wants him to have a meal, or..."

Lian Xue blinked her eyes, recalled what the Queen said, and said, "The Queen knows that the Marquis has no residence in the capital, and it is inconvenient to disturb His Majesty at night, so she said that after the Marquis has finished his meal, he can live in the side hall of Kunning Palace, and then go to find His Majesty tomorrow to ask him to give the Marquis a house to live in. Anyway, the Marquis is now in the palace, so why should he leave the palace and wait until tomorrow morning to come back and make the Marquis travel a longer distance?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Lier turned her little face to look at Lian Xue, her brows slightly furrowed, "It doesn't matter if he has to run a little further. I'll send him to the palace... and let him stay at my place tonight."

Lian Xue hesitated, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the queen..."

"What's so difficult to explain?" Mu Li'er waved her hand slightly. "Before the Queen entered the palace, she went to Yanyun every summer to escape the heat, but she always lived in my Mu family... I know her well. Tell her that it was Mu Li'er who took Zhao Wumian away. Do you think she will blame you?"

Zhao Wumian looked at her in surprise, "Master knows the Queen?"

"Didn't I say that?" Mu Lier frowned and said:

"When the queen was young, she was also fearless. She was twelve that year, and I was ten. I was worshipping Buddha at Little Western Paradise, but Guan Yunshu, that stinky nun, bullied me because of her superior martial arts. It was the queen who took me to Little Western Paradise to look for Guan Yunshu, but Prime Minister Shen stopped us, thinking we were making a big deal out of nothing. When we were young, we also learned martial arts, burned yellow paper, swore brotherhood, and became sworn sisters, but that was all a thing of the past..."

Zhao Wumian was stunned by her beauty. No wonder everyone said that Mu Lier had a noble status, but he actually never knew where her status lay... So there was this kind of relationship?
No wonder Mu Lier was hesitant in the dilapidated temple, saying that she didn't dare to join the team casually because of her sensitive identity. No wonder she said before that people in the martial arts world are free and easy, and as long as they have the ability, it doesn't matter if they marry the queen... I thought she just used the queen as an example because she was carefree, but it turns out that she and the queen are really familiar with each other.

They are all sworn sisters...

Shen Xiangge pursed his lips and said nothing, his face slightly unhappy, but he did not refute, obviously he also knew about this. "Who is the elder sister and who is the younger sister?" Zhao Wumian asked subconsciously.

"I am 26 this year and she is 28, so naturally she is the elder sister." Mu Lier took the wine gourd from her waist, took a sip of wine, and said:
"Before leaving, my senior brother told me about your bridge to heaven and earth. It's a good opportunity for us to talk about this. I'll ask someone to prepare some wine to celebrate. Now that the national foundation issue has been resolved and you have been conferred a title of nobility, from the perspective of ordinary people, you have made it to the top of the list and brought honor to your family. Logically, your parents should drink with you to at least share in the joy."

As she spoke, Mu Lier smiled tenderly at Zhao Wumian again, "You have lost your memory, and you don't know if your parents are still alive... But it doesn't matter, your master is still in the capital, and your master will accompany you."

Shen Xiangge's chest rose and fell. This woman really knows how to talk! Which man wouldn't be confused after hearing these words?
Seeing that Zhao Wumian was interested, she stepped forward and said, "My father and the other officials in the court are still waiting in the Shen Mansion. I hope that Marquis Weiming will put official business first."

"What do you mean by priority is official business?" Mu Lier tilted her head and retorted, "He has been working hard for more than a month, and he is going to drink with court officials right after the coronation ceremony? At least let him rest for a few days, right? Don't use the party tactics in the court on my apprentice. If he wants to go, he can go. If he doesn't want to go, no one should force him."

Lian Xue said timidly, "The Queen's side..."

"Shut up." Mu Lier and Shen Xiangge looked at her at the same time.

The little maid was so scared that she burst into tears, but she didn't dare to go back like that. She had to bite the bullet and continue to say, "Why don't you go to Kunning Palace with the Marquis? It's a good opportunity for Miss Mu to catch up with the queen."

"Why reminisce about the past? Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm drinking with my apprentice, why is she joining in? It's not like I don't know her alcohol tolerance. After one glass of wine, her face turns red. After two glasses, she feels dizzy. After three glasses, she passes out. It's not fun." Mu Lier shook her head and refused.

Zhao Wumian's heart skipped a beat. On one side was Shen Xiangge, on the other was his master, and on the other was the Empress... Although one night was long, it was not enough for him to travel to the Palace, the Shen Residence, and the Sword Sect branch.

These three people all have their reasons and explanations. It would be bad to reject any of them.

Zhao Wumian had clearly only confirmed his relationship with Miss Su, but at this moment he inexplicably had the illusion of being in a Shura field... But Miss Su herself was not here, and she was not even involved.

What's this?

But Zhao Wumian still wanted to drink with his good master.

Seeing Zhao Wumian's intention, Shen Xiangge immediately ignored the taboos between men and women and directly grabbed his arm, "Hey! Can't you tell the difference between business and private matters? You can't really let my father and the others wait in vain, can you?"

When Mu Lier saw that Shen Xiangge had already taken action, she immediately raised her eyebrows and grabbed Zhao Wumian's arm, "Wumian is a man of the martial arts world. Even if he has been conferred a title, he is still a man of the martial arts world... There is nothing to talk about with those dignitaries."

"Why are you still a gangster after being conferred a title? And why don't you just disappear if there's nothing to talk about? Is there any reason in the world that you can just not do something you want to do?"

"Even if he isn't, you can't force him."

As they spoke, Mu Lier and Shen Xiangge looked at Zhao Wumian at the same time. Perhaps because they were excited, their eyes were a little fierce. "Who are you going to?"

"How about Master, come with me to the Shen Mansion and have a good drink there? Anyway, we're drinking the Shen Mansion's wine... As for the Queen, we can only wait for the time being..."

As soon as Zhao Wumian finished speaking, Shen Xiangge narrowed her eyes slightly, and then smiled coldly, "Master Zhao, I don't like to play both sides... If you want to choose, you can only choose me, understand?"

"You and Wumian have nothing to do with each other, so what's the point of choosing you or not..." Mu Lier first refuted Shen Xiangge, then looked at Zhao Wumian and whispered, "How can we be happy with outsiders around? If those officials in the court knew that you went with me, they wouldn't blame you. I have the responsibility..."

After the words fell, Mu Lier and Shen Xiangge looked at each other again, and their sharp eyes were revealed when their eyes met.

Shen Xiangge was so angry in his heart. If he were in the identity of Empress Canghua, he would have kidnapped Zhao Wumian long ago. Why would he make such a fuss?

Mu Lier was also dissatisfied. Why did the queen's niece always want to take Wumian to the Shen Mansion? Could it be that she fell in love with him? If so, as a master, she had to consider it for Su Qingqi.

Maid Lian Xue was standing at the very outside and wanted to help, but she didn't dare to do so given her status. She could only feel aggrieved and secretly thought that this was not something she could get involved in... Your Majesty, why don't you come over?

The Queen did not come, but someone else did.

A female official came running over with her skirt lifted, calling out to Zhao Wumian, "My Lord, my Lord, don't leave! The Emperor wants to see you for something."

Zhao Wumian heard the sound and saw that the confrontation between Mu Lier and Shen Xiangge was also interrupted.

Since it was the emperor's oral order, Shen Xiangge and Mu Lier let go of Zhao Wumian and pretended to listen attentively.

The emperor's face must be maintained.

The female official came to Zhao Wumian and took a few breaths. Her face was flushed in the winter. After recalling what had happened, she imitated Luo Chaoyan's tone and said, "The emperor gave an oral instruction, 'When judging the merits and distributing the rewards, the matter of Marquis Weiming's fiefdom was forgotten. He has no fixed place to live in the capital, so let him stay in Fumo Palace tonight'..."

Mu Lier, Shen Xiangge and Lian Xue all felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

The female official paused for a moment, then looked at the people present with a slightly strange expression, and said, "The Fu Mo Palace is where His Majesty handles government affairs in the harem. Over the past month, political affairs from all over the country have piled up like a mountain. His Majesty is concerned about the world, so he went to the Fu Mo Palace when he returned to the harem. Now he asked the Marquis to go there, probably to solicit some opinions."

Is that really the case? The lady-in-waiting thought that this might not be the case, but there was nothing wrong with this statement.

Therefore, the female official added: "When the late emperor was in power, he often summoned ministers to the Fumo Palace... You are obviously a close confidant of the emperor, so the marquis does not have to worry about anything."

Zhao Wumian glanced at the female official. What she said was quite clever and did not ruin Luo Chaoyan's reputation.

"What's your name?" he asked.

The female official bowed to Zhao Wumian and said, "My Lord, my surname is Zhongli, and I am the daughter of Tie Luosha and his wife. You should recognize my parents."

Zhao Wumian was slightly surprised, "The emperor specially came to you to be his bed warmer?"

Female official Zhongli hesitated, "My parents died in Qinfeng Village, so I was favored by the emperor and had the honor to serve him... But I am not a bed-warming maid, I am a personal female official... That is, a female eunuch, specializing in helping the emperor deal with miscellaneous matters in the harem."

"Shangguan Wan'er, I know." Zhao Wumian waved his hand gently, then looked at Mu Li'er and Shen Xiangge, with an apologetic look on his face, "The emperor has summoned me, so there is nothing I can do."

Shen Xiangge crossed his arms, turned his head away coldly, and said dissatisfiedly: "I know, I will tell my father."

Mu Lier sighed lightly. Her relationship with Luo Chaoyan was not like that of the Queen... When Luo Chaoyan summoned Zhao Wumian, no one could interfere.

She took off the wine gourd from her waist and threw it to Zhao Wumian, "I just drank it this morning. It tastes good. I can't accompany you tonight, so you can drink wine instead."

"Let's go have a drink with Master tomorrow." Zhao Wumian smiled and comforted him.

Mu Lier smiled, stepped forward to straighten Zhao Wumian's collar, and patted his shoulder, "Go, don't keep His Majesty waiting for too long."

Zhao Wumian bowed slightly to Lian Xue, then left with the female official Zhongli.

Shen Xiangge said from behind Zhao Wumian: "You comfort your master, why don't you comfort me?"

Zhao Wumian turned his head and glanced at her. "The person I broke the appointment with was Prime Minister Shen, not you."

Shen Xiangge's face turned cold, "If you can't speak, shut up."

Zhao Wumian smiled and left.

Shen Xiangge stomped his feet hard, and then glanced at Mu Lier.

The two women snorted again and looked away.

Lian Xue trembled with fear and dared not to interfere in this matter again.

Although Zhao Wumian left in a carefree manner, he was still a little nervous in his heart. "This is only the first night... I'm afraid this will happen again when I'm in Beijing."

Female official Zhongli did not dare to ask more questions. She led Zhao Wumian directly to Fu Mo Palace and then retreated.

He closed the palace door tactfully.

Lights were on in the Fu Mo Hall. Luo Chaoyan had taken off the complicated dragon robe and was wearing a neat bright yellow robe with a jade belt tied around her waist, outlining her slender waist. She was sitting at the table, flipping through documents.

Although she was wearing a robe that was more like men's clothing, she had a charm that was completely different from before.

Seeing Zhao Wumian entering the hall, she raised her head slightly, her eyes reflecting the candlelight in the hall, looking at Zhao Wumian... The most beautiful thing is the eyes in front of the lamp.

This person is still the emperor of the current dynasty.

Zhao Wumian took a glass of water from the desk and drank it all, then he let out a long sigh and asked, "What's the matter?"

Luo Chaoyan looked Zhao Wumian up and down, glanced at the water cup in his hand, but didn't mention that it was the one she drank from. She asked curiously, "Why do you look so tired?"

"Don't mention it anymore, because I'm almost torn apart by the Queen, Master and Miss Shen over where to stay tonight." Zhao Wumian sat down on a chair nearby and rubbed his temple.

"Because where are you staying tonight?" Luo Chaoyan smiled slightly, "Just stay here, I'll take care of some government affairs and then leave, so as not to disturb you."

"Nothing you need to ask me?"

"As you said, how can I ask you everything?" Luo Chaoyan lowered her eyes, "Go quickly, there is a bed next to you, the bedding and sheets are clean."

Zhao Wumian turned around and sat on the bed again... This was a dragon bed, and the bedding and sheets were embroidered with dragon patterns.

Spend the night on the dragon bed?

Zhao Wumian looked at Luo Chaoyan's slender back, then lay down on the bed, "Why don't you call me 'I' yet?"

Luo Chaoyan was slightly stunned, "I forgot about this matter in front of you."

"Hmm..." Zhao Wumian responded, looking at the ceiling. He never thought that he would end up living in the harem. He thought about it for a while, but decided not to think too much... and went to sleep.

Luo Chaoyan glanced at him sideways and smiled again.

Not long after, Luo Chaoyan turned off the lights and looked at Zhao Wumian, "I'm leaving."

"It's so dark outside, do you dare to go?" Zhao Wumian was naturally not asleep yet.

"It's not like there's no light." Luo Chaoyan walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back. When he reached the door of the hall, he thought for a moment, then turned back to look at Zhao Wumian with a beautiful smile.

"But I am the Son of Heaven. How can I stay overnight with you in Fu Mo Palace? But if you don't have a place to stay for the time being, you can stay here as long as you want. I still have this power."

After saying that, Luo Chaoyan pushed the door and left.

Female official Zhongli was waiting outside. When she saw Luo Chaoyan, she quickly stepped forward to put a fox fur coat on Luo Chaoyan and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, why don't you give the Marquis a house in the capital?"

Luo Chaoyan frowned, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

"I know I was wrong..."

Of course, she couldn't give Zhao Wumian a house as a reward. If she did, she wouldn't have such a natural excuse for him to come to Fu Mo Palace to chat with her and relieve her boredom.
