Seeing Jun Wuji's serious expression, Di Beiyao silently rubbed his forehead in his heart.

"Big brother, you're a man, and Little Red Bean is a woman. How can you lump you together like that?"

Jun Wuji frowned, then said, "Then let me ask you another question. Between me and her, who does Yao'er like more, hmm?"

"Of course it's you, you idiot." Di Beiyao reached out and touched Jun Wuji's loose black hair.

Hmm, your hair is in good condition, Your Highness.

Seeing that Di Beiyao had spoken this way, Jun Wuji was finally satisfied, his long, narrow phoenix eyes filled with emotion.

A magnetic and gentle voice said, word by word, "Your husband is most fond of Yao'er."

Di Beiyao hadn't expected Jun Wuji to suddenly say something like that. He looked at the man opposite him, his long black hair flowing freely, gazing at him with deep affection.

A warmth spread through her heart, and a faint smile touched her beautiful face: Jun Wuji, having you is truly wonderful.

Although the summer night breeze was slightly cool, the hearts of the two people inside the room were warmed by each other.

They fell asleep in each other's arms and had a good night's sleep.

—————————

Time flies, and five days have passed in the blink of an eye. It has been almost a month since the group arrived in Jiangnan.

The disaster situation in Jiangnan has been completely alleviated, and the houses built by the people were completed two days ago.

The promised five taels of silver to each household were distributed, and with that, the Jiangnan flood disaster was finally brought to a close.

Early this morning, the group was already fully prepared to return to the capital to report back.

He Xun and his group saw them off for quite a while in front of the provincial government building, only letting out a long sigh of relief after Jun Wuji and Jun Wuke's car disappeared from sight.

For over a month, he lived in constant fear, unable to eat or sleep properly. At his age, how could he have it so easy?!

Fortunately, because the Seven Kill Pavilion failed to complete the mission, they compensated him with two thousand taels of gold, including the principal.

Even after deducting the money he returned to those two, he could still make a little money; otherwise, he would have really lost half his life this time!

He turned around and, with unsteady steps, boarded his carriage. The rest of the group, seeing He Xun get into the carriage, hurriedly asked, "Lord He, where are you going?"

"I haven't been sleeping well lately, I'm going back to catch up on my sleep. My colleagues, please make yourselves at home."

The group bowed respectfully, watching as Hexun's carriage receded into the distance.

A few people couldn't help but laugh out loud. Finally, the group looked at each other, each with an unspoken smile in their eyes.

Hexun was always arrogant and condescending in front of them, used to it all.

During the month that Crown Prince Ji Wang was in office, He Xun also groveled for a month, which they saw and found very satisfying!

Look, he's even catching up on sleep. It seems he's done too many bad things and is living in fear!

But looking around, how many of the officials present didn't have dark circles under their eyes? Corrupt officials always outnumber honest officials.

—————————

After a long journey, the group returned to the capital they had been away from for five or six days.

Jun Wuji and Jun Wuke went to the palace to report to the emperor, while Di Beiyao, along with Xiao Hongdou, returned to the Jiwang Mansion with Qingfeng.

Back at the Prince Ji's residence, after arranging Xiao Hongdou's accommodations and instructing people to take good care of her,

Di Beiyao returned to his beloved bed and fell fast asleep.

The Empress felt that the journey was too tiring and that she would rather drive her own horse than take a carriage next time she encountered a similar situation!

Her butt!
