"Xiao Lang~"
Just then, a joyful voice rang out, and Yaoyue ran out of the restaurant, ignoring everyone's gaze and throwing herself into his arms.
"Xiao Lang, what brings you here?"
Looking up at Xiao Jingyi, and seeing him frown, Yaoyue reached out and smoothed his brows.
"Don't frown, I'm fine."
Seeing that Yaoyue was unharmed, Xiao Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief: "I heard from my servants that you came out with a dark face. I was worried that your old enemies had come looking for you, so I came to check on you."
"I'm glad you're alright."
"hehe."
Upon hearing this, Yaoyue realized it was exactly as she had guessed. She covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes growing even sweeter as she looked at Xiao Jingyan.
"Xiao Lang, I'm fine. Besides, what enemies could I possibly have? It's just an old friend who came to see me. Don't worry, it's a woman."
"I promise."
Yaoyue raised her hand, as if to swear an oath.
Seeing this, Xiao Jingyi touched her hand and said, "I know your character, there's no need for this."
"I know, but I'm so happy that you could come, Xiao Lang."
With her arms wrapped around Xiao Jingyi's neck, Yaoyue stood on tiptoe and kissed him several times on the face.
Little did they know, this scene was witnessed by Dongfang Bubai, who had just emerged.
She stood there blankly, rubbing her eyes.
"It's an illusion, it must be an illusion. How could that demon Yaoyue do such a thing?"
Dongfang Bubai couldn't believe it was real, but after she wiped her eyes, she saw Yaoyue nestled next to Xiao Jingyi, waving to her with a bright smile.
"Mu Dongfang, here."
Chapter 048: Inviting Dongfang Bubai as a guest, the Minister of Revenue falls from grace (Seeking flowers, ratings, and monthly tickets)
Looking at Yaoyue's smile, Dongfang Bubai found it hard to accept.
Inviting the Moon, you've changed.
You've become someone I don't recognize.
We've known each other for so many years, and we've been through thick and thin together, but you've never smiled at me like that before.
Is love really that magical?
How did they turn this once fierce woman into what she is today?
Indeed, love can completely change a person.
"Mu Dongfang, what are you doing?"
Seeing that Dongfang Bubai did not react, Yaoyue, from an angle where Xiao Jingyi could not see her, gave her a cold look.
That look seemed to say, "You fucking better cooperate with me now!"
Under her gaze, Dongfang Bubai finally came to his senses: "That's right, this is the Yaoyue I know."
However, she spoke very softly and was not heard by anyone.
Then he walked up to her with a smile: "Yue'er, you just heard your husband was coming and abandoned me and ran away. That's really not nice of you."
"This must be my brother-in-law. I am Mu Dongfang."
Does Dongfang Bubai still remember what Yaoyue just said?
Of course, I also remember her threat.
Based on Dongfang Bubai's understanding of her, if she could say those words, she could certainly do them, so he had no choice but to cooperate.
Seeing her performance, Yaoyue nodded in satisfaction.
She then turned to Xiao Jingyi and said, "Young Master Xiao, this is Mu Dongfang. I know a woman who has come to Daliang to discuss family cooperation with me."
"Mu Dongfang, why are you calling me brother-in-law? Call me sister's husband!"
Then, Yaoyue looked at Dongfang Bubai with an unfriendly expression, but the tone she used when speaking to Xiao Jingyi was completely different.
"They're all the same, the same."
"Brother-in-law, you are so lucky to have found such a wonderful woman as Yue'er. You must treat her well."
Ignoring Yaoyue's murderous look, Dongfang Bubai immediately stepped forward and sized up Xiao Jingyi.
Height is good.
She has a great presence.
As for looks, well... they're truly rare in this world.
Upon seeing Xiao Jingyi's appearance, even the seasoned Dongfang Bubai was somewhat shocked.
At this moment, she understood why Yaoyue was so smitten. With such good looks, she estimated that most women would be attracted to her.
But Yaoyue isn't such a superficial person.
Could it be... that he's good in bed?!
Suddenly, Dongfang Bubai thought of this possibility and looked at Yaoyue with a sly expression, as if to say, "I never expected you to be like this, Yaoyue."
Xiao Jingyi was quite composed. He was slightly amazed by Dongfang Bubai when he first met her, but since all the wives in his family were stunning beauties, he naturally didn't lose his composure.
He immediately said to Dongfang Bubai, "Hello, I am Xiao Jingyi, and I am Yue'er's husband."
Xiao Jingyi did not keep Dongfang Bubai at arm's length.
"Know, know."
Dongfang Bubai waved his hand, then raised an eyebrow and asked Xiao Jingyi, "Brother-in-law, are you in good health?"
“…”
Upon hearing her words, Yaoyue's face instantly fell, and she glared at Dongfang Bubai with hostility: "Mu Dongfang, that's enough."
"I'm not going to say anything more, I'm not going to say anything more."
Seeing this, Dongfang Bubai chuckled.
Xiao Jingyi, however, looked at her with a strange expression.
This friend of Yue'er... why does she seem like an old rogue?
No, we need to make sure Yue'er has less contact with her in the future, lest she be corrupted.
"Hmph! You'd better behave yourself."
Yaoyue gave Dongfang Bubai a warning look, then looked at Xiao Jingyi and said, "Xiao Lang, I've finished talking. Go back now."
"Are you done talking?"
"Yes, we're done talking."
At this moment, Yaoyue was unwilling to stay here any longer. If Dongfang Bubai were to be exposed, she would probably be devastated. Therefore, she only wanted to take Xiao Jingyi away from this place of trouble.
"No, Moon, we still have..."
"We'll talk about it later. I'll think about the cooperation when I get back."
Yaoyue gave Dongfang Bubai a look, then leaned on Xiao Jingyi's shoulder: "Xiao Lang, I'm tired, let's go back."
"it is good."
Seeing this, Xiao Jingyi felt something was strange, but since Yaoyue insisted on going back, he didn't ask any further questions and immediately picked her up in his arms.
This caused Yaoyue to gasp in surprise, but she still cooperated by hugging his neck.
This scene left Dongfang Bubai dumbfounded.
No, this is a scene I'll see in my lifetime?
"Mu Dongfang, Yue'er is tired, so I will take her back to rest first. Guests are guests, especially Yue'er's friend. Come to my palace tomorrow, and I will treat you to a meal."
"No need, no need. Dongfang and the others eat a variety of foods. How could they possibly be used to the delicacies in the Prince's mansion?"
Before Dongfang Bubai could reply, Yaoyue answered on her behalf.
???
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Bubai was filled with questions.
What do you mean by "Inviting the Moon"?
You don't want to see me, do you?
I didn't want to go at first, but after you made such a fuss, I'm going now!
She immediately replied with a smile, "Since Your Highness has invited me, I will gladly accept. Yue'er, see you tomorrow."
The smile on Yaoyue's face froze.
Oh dear, this woman is coming tomorrow.
She could only pray in her heart that Dongfang Bubai wouldn't say anything reckless.
Xiao Jingyi then took his leave and departed with his guards.
While being held by him, Yaoyue, out of Xiao Jingyi's sight, glared fiercely at Dongfeng Bubai, making a shushing gesture and a snorting gesture.
Then she leaned sweetly into Xiao Jingyi's arms.
"This prince... is really intriguing. How could he make Yaoyue so devoted to him, so deeply in love with him?"
Watching Xiao Jingyi's departing figure, Dongfang Bubai pinched his chin and smiled with amusement.
"How interesting..."
.....
Meanwhile, Xiao Jingyi was bringing Yaoyue back.
The palace has been bombed again.
This is because the previous case of the corpse hidden in Lanyuan did not attract much attention due to the Xie Yu case.
But as the Xie Yu case came to a close, rumors of the Lan Garden corpse case resurfaced.
Now it has caused quite a stir throughout Kyoto.
Then things unfolded just like in the drama: after learning the news, Lou Zhijing, the Minister of Revenue, went to silence him.
But something went wrong, and the steward Shi Jun escaped and sought refuge with Prince Yu to save his life.
Then, at Qin Banruo's suggestion, he handed the man over to the Ministry of Revenue and even reported it to Emperor Liang.
"boom!"
"Good! Lou Zhijing, you're so old, yet you still like to go to those kinds of places to play."
"Playing around is fine, but to cause someone's death? Who gave them the guts! Who gave them the courage!"
Emperor Liang was so angry that his cheeks turned red, and then he began to cough violently.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please calm down. Your health is of utmost importance."
Upon seeing this, Gao Zhan quickly brought tea to Emperor Liang and said with a worried expression.
"I'm fine, I'm just... I'm just angry."
With Gao Zhan's help, Emperor Liang sat down and his complexion improved considerably.
"I just didn't expect that Lou Zhijing, a high-ranking official of the second rank, would be so shameless and disregard human life."
"How could someone like this still hold such an important position in the imperial court!"
Emperor Liang was furious at this moment, and even slammed his fist on the table repeatedly. Each slam made everyone present tremble.
They knew that His Majesty was truly angry.
After a long pause, Emperor Liang finally ordered: "Investigate! A thorough investigation is necessary!"
"Qi Min, I order you to investigate this thoroughly. No matter who is involved, there will be no leniency!"
