Yue Yuqian rubbed her temples helplessly and immediately reached out to stop Yue Xiangxiang from continuing.

"Alright, alright, you've said these words countless times, I've memorized them all. Let's get down to business."

She didn't want to be forced to eat a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

I wonder what Nangong Hanmo's current situation is? Has he married a new empress? Or does he have a harem of three thousand beauties?

Counting the days, it had been a full ten years since she and he had been separated. It was impossible for her not to miss him.

Yue Yuqian suppressed the longing in her heart, and her aloof and elegant face gradually became serious.

"Xiangxiang, have you investigated the entire clan thoroughly?"

“Everything has been investigated thoroughly. In addition, Guangguang and I have already gathered manpower. With just your order, they will arrest those who betrayed you and the clan leader.”

Yueyuqian nodded.

"Well, let's hold back for now and distribute the pills I prepared. They can kill the Gu worms in their bodies. Once the Gu worms are dead, their superpowers will be enhanced."

"While you have this time, have everyone work hard to improve their abilities. When the time is right, I will lead everyone to wipe out the Yuezhi and all those evil creatures."

Yue Xiangxiang nodded solemnly, "Yes, Holy Maiden, I know what to do."

Yueyu Qian's eyes darkened slightly as she continued to give instructions.

"Xiangxiang, have your husband take trusted clansmen to various countries and wipe out all the clansmen sent by Yuefuting to capture children. Don't let any escape."

After speaking, Yue Yuqian's face turned icy cold, and her whole body exuded a terrifying killing intent.

"Hmph, these beasts are heartless and insane. Like Yue Futing, they reek of a foul stench and have long lost their humanity. They deserve to die. I can't watch those innocent children die tragically any longer."

The problem is that her body is too weak; even now, she hasn't recovered the energy she lost back then.

Fortunately, his cultivation level has improved, and he now has enough ability to deal with Yue Futing. Otherwise, given his personality, he would never have waited until now to start his counterattack.

It's all about timing and fate!

Why!

——

Yue Mingxi, who was being eyed by Yue Xiangxiang, was currently engrossed in ransacking the house and showed no sign of missing home whatsoever.

(Yue Xiangxiang: o(′^｀)o Son, has your filial piety been eaten by a dog?)

On the night they arrived at the iron mine, Sheng Lingwei assigned tasks to everyone.

She led Zhu Kui and his seven companions to clean up the Wu'an Prince's Mansion, while Jing Qingyun and Nangong Zichen were responsible for investigating people related to Sheng Kun.

Yue Mingxi, Liang Tianling, Fang Xiuer, Luo Xingyuan, Bai Ji, and Bai Zhi acted as Jing Qingyun and Nangong Zichen's assistants.

Some are looking for evidence, some are conducting investigations, some are confiscating property, and some are interrogating people.

We will strive to apprehend all of them as soon as possible.

We will never let a suspect go free, but we will also never wrongly arrest an innocent person.

Sheng Kun is like a big tree. Over the years, he has been entrenched in Xianyang County. After taking root, sprouting and growing strong, he has won over a wide range of people, and even has influence in the imperial city.

A single hair can affect the whole situation.

The workload is so large that it cannot be completed by just a few people.

Fortunately, Hai Dongqing was very helpful, running back and forth in the shortest amount of time and bringing the imperial edict issued by Sheng Haoyu.

He requested that Jing Qingyun and Sheng Lingwei temporarily take charge of the overall situation, and that they could mobilize all the troops in the surrounding cities at any time. He had already sent officials to Xianyang County to take over as soon as possible.

His words were full of pleading, even a little humble, as if he was afraid that Sheng Lingwei and the other person would give up.

That said, ever since Sheng Haoyu ascended the throne, he hasn't had a moment of free time except when he's sleeping. He's been so busy every day that he's losing clumps of hair.

Not only did they have to deal with the mess left by Shengwei, but they also had to clean up the filth of corrupt officials in the court.

At the same time, they face the test of natural disasters and man-made calamities, and must always be on high alert, for fear that a moment of carelessness will plunge the people into dire straits.

Fortunately, he had Ye Jinyin, a capable assistant who was both literate and skilled in martial arts, who shared the burden and pressure on his shoulders.

Even so, he still felt immense pressure, so much so that he could hardly breathe.

Every night before going to sleep, he would hug Ye Jinyin tightly and cry for a while.

"Waaah, Yinyin, if I had known being an emperor would be this tiring, I would never have become one. Look at my hair, I'm almost bald. I'm so pitiful!"

The deed is done, and regret is just talk; the real purpose, of course, is to win Yin Yin's favor.

Ye Jinyin patted the big boy in her arms, first giving him a practiced encouragement, then rolled her eyes.

"Tell me! What are you planning to do tonight?"

Sheng Haoyu grinned mischievously, "Yinyin, I learned a new move today, but I don't know if it's any good. Can you...?"

"No!" Ye Jinyin refused outright, her face showing understanding, but more so helplessness and exhaustion.

Sigh, how can she cope with a husband who is always eager to discuss new techniques with her and never gets tired of it?

"Waaaaaaah x﹏x"

Sheng Haoyu pretended to cry, burying his head in Ye Jinyin's neck, inhaling her fragrance as he sobbed.

"Yinyin~~ My dear Yinyin~~~ Can't you have a pity on me after all this hard work? Waaah, it's been three days, and you haven't talked to me for three days. Don't you miss me at all?"

Ye Jinyin was extremely annoyed and instantly roared, "I don't want to! Sheng Haoyu, if you can't sleep peacefully, then get out of bed!"

"No, I don't want to get out of bed."

Sheng Haoyu clung to Ye Jinyin shamelessly, shaking his arm from time to time. His main trait was shamelessness; that's just how he was.

Don't get me wrong, she's only shameless with Yin Yin, hehe...

"Let go of me!" Ye Jinyin gritted her teeth. She was almost driven to the brink of exhaustion by Sheng Haoyu, who did this every night.

Isn't he tired?

Anyway, she was tired.

"No, I won't let go." Sheng Haoyu's will was unwavering; for that long-awaited bite of meat, he was determined to give it his all tonight.

Otherwise, given Yin Yin's laid-back attitude, he estimated that he would only be able to drink soup for a long time, and would never see any meat.

"My dear Yinyin, have pity on me, give me some love, have pity on this proud girl..."

Hearing this familiar song, Ye Jinyin broke down and burst out laughing. She knew this guy was cunning and had found her weakness right away.

She playfully pushed Sheng Haoyu, "You learn so fast! I remember I only sang it twice, and you've already memorized the lyrics?"

Sheng Haoyu proudly raised his chin, praising himself while also including Ye Jinyin, "Of course, you don't even know whose husband I am!"

Yin Yin taught him the word "husband." Although it sounded a bit strange, it was also a novel experience, and he became fluent after saying it a few times.

Sheng Haoyu's eyes darted around, and he quickly hugged Ye Jinyin and kissed her several times.

"Yinyin, it's getting late, let's hurry up and have a sparring session, okay?"

He was very cunning. He deliberately leaned close to Ye Jinyin's ear and spoke slowly in a magnetic, deep, and alluring voice.
