It’s over. This time, it’s probably going to be very dangerous.

Several adults looked at their noses, their noses at their mouths, and their mouths at their hearts, feeling empty inside. It was over. They went to casinos and brothels, saying that they were dependent on Prime Minister Li, but were caught in public by the emperor. Is there really any way for them to survive?

Among the five officials, two were local officials who had never seen the emperor. When they saw that Censor Zhang and the other two officials were pale, they were suddenly aware of the seriousness of the situation.

The only person who can scare the officials in Beijing is probably the prince.

Several officials were a little slow to react at this time. Zhou Zhaonuan put his hands on his hips and couldn't help but curl his lips.

"My Lords, are you going or not? I'm afraid my father will be getting anxious waiting."

"Go, go, of course, we'll be there right away."

Censor Zhang only took a quick glance at Zhou Beichen's expression, and immediately felt as if he had rolled in the karst lava of hell, feeling extremely hot.

Not daring to delay any longer, Censor Zhang and his companions followed Zhou Zhaonuan closely and walked towards Zhou Beichen.

Censor Zhang pulled the two local officials to kneel down. Zhou Beichen even smiled gently, waved his folding fan, and placed it on Censor Zhang's knees.

"This is not the place to talk. Come with me for a moment."

“Yes… yes.”

Censor Zhang was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted. He nodded and bowed, his face full of flattery, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The two local officials who saw this couldn't help but look at Zhou Beichen again. Who was this person? He couldn't really be a high-ranking official.

"Okay, you guys go ahead. I'll be leaving soon, and you guys should follow closely behind. Don't forget."

"Yes, yes, we know."

The two local officials were ambiguous. They looked at Censor Zhang and the three Beijing officials nodding vigorously. They also nodded vigorously. Zhou Beichen smiled indifferently and then watched the gamblers win and lose.

Those who won wanted to jump three feet high, and those who lost were very upset. The next moment, they bet big again. In the end, when they had no money left, they even borrowed money to gamble and wrote IOUs directly to the brothel owner.

Seeing that it was Zhou Beichen, he shook his head repeatedly. If this continued, no matter how big the family business was, it would be lost because of this.

Time passed quickly, and soon the plate of peanuts was gone. Zhou Beichen stood up and prepared to leave. Censor Zhang was paying close attention. When he saw Zhou Beichen move, he hurriedly pulled the other officials and followed him.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at everything in front of her and became more and more confused. Why did she feel that the person in front of her was not ordinary?

Finally, Su Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, trotted over, and blocked Zhou Beichen's way.

"Sir, please stay. Sir, please stay. I have something to say."

Zhou Beichen, who was walking in front, turned around and looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a funny expression.

"What do you want to say? You said I just came to check out this casino and find a hostess to keep me company for a while. I won't do anything else."

Su Xiaoxiao didn't expect him to be so straightforward. She blushed for a moment, but then she thought, this man is a gentleman who can remain calm even when a woman sits on his lap. In addition, seeing those officials obeying him in everything, Su Xiaoxiao is even more certain that Zhou Beichen's identity is not ordinary.

She shook her head, her eyes determined. "Master, although I have been living in a dusty place, I am still a virgin now. I would never do such a thing. I just want you to listen to me. I have something to say. Please tell my mother to let me go out with you for an hour."

Su Xiaoxiao spread out her hands, and there was a piece of silver lying in them.

Zhou Beichen felt a little resentful towards this woman. Although he brought his daughter to the brothel, it didn't mean that he liked his daughter to listen to all this messy stuff about "perfect virginity".

He wanted to refuse, but Nuannuan pulled his sleeve and spoke with reason.

"Dad, look at how anxious she is, sweating profusely. I think she might have something serious. Otherwise, Dad, just take her with you. At worst, you can send her back later."

Deshun thought about it and nodded.

"Sir, that's right. Otherwise, take it with you."

Zhou Beichen looked at a few people and his gaze finally fell on Su Xiaoxiao. Seeing that she still retained a fresh and unworldly air under the jewels and emeralds on her head, he nodded.

"Okay, Deshun, go give the madam some money and tell her that I've redeemed Su Xiaoxiao. There's an inn across the street. Let's go there first. You can call her Su Xiaoxiao and come back as soon as you're done."

Su Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up. She didn't refuse and looked at Zhou Beichen with gratitude. "Thank you very much, sir. I will definitely find a chance to return the money. If I can't pay it back, I am willing to work like a slave to repay your kindness. If that doesn't work, I am willing to be a servant to this young lady."

When Su Xiaoxiao said this, her tone was full of sincerity. Zhou Beichen didn't say much and took his daughter away.

She was just a woman, he just redeemed her, so why would he repay her? What's more, all the people in the world were his subjects, it was just a favor he did.

As an emperor, the ruler of a country, if he can only watch his people being displaced, eating their own children, and the land being filled with smoke, then he is a complete failure as an emperor.

Changnian Inn, private room upstairs.

Zhou Beichen was the first to find a place to sit down, and Zhou Zhaonuan sat next to him. About ten people ordered five or six dishes.

They were all local dishes, delicious and colourful. She didn't feel hungry just now, but now, Zhou Zhaonuan looked at the dishes one by one. Her eyes lit up and she hugged Zhou Beichen's arm and acted coquettishly.

"Dad, I'm hungry. Let's eat quickly. Please let them sit down too. They don't dare to sit down even though you're here."

Upon hearing this, Censor Zhang and his men, including De Shun, all lowered their heads. What a joke! Even if they were given ten times the courage, they would not dare to sit at the same table and dine with the emperor.

The two local officials and Su Xiaoxiao became more and more curious about Zhou Beichen's identity. Seeing that others did not sit down, they naturally did not sit down either.

With a doting smile, Zhou Beichen personally took a bowl of rice and placed it in front of her, rubbed her little head, and said lovingly.

"If you're hungry, eat first. Nuannuan is still young and in the growth phase, so she needs to eat more."

When Nuannuan heard this, tears immediately flowed out of her mouth. She didn't care about others and ate one bite at a time, very elegantly.

He loved his daughter so much that Su Xiaoxiao was simply dumbfounded. She originally thought that this man took her daughter to Zuihonglou and must not care about her that much, and loved his son more. But she didn't expect that this man was just like her father. Once upon a time, she was also held in the palm of her father's hand, but three months ago, everything changed.

When Zhou Beichen faced them, his handsome face immediately turned cold. He waved his hand, seeming a little impatient.
