Shangguan Feiyan is truly a remarkable woman. In her mind, the only way to truly exploit a man is to seduce him into bed.

If things don't go her way, then she'll hate that man instead.

Hua Manlou was such an unlucky man. He was still entangled with Shangguan Feiyan, but this time, he didn't fall for the "quirky and clever" Shangguan Feiyan who "would lie to others but would never lie to him".

When the emperor's secret guards were dealing with Shangguan Feiyan, they discovered Hua Manlou, who had been drugged and captured. The Hua family and the emperor had always maintained a good relationship, so Hua Manlou was also brought back to the palace.

Since the emperor's harem was still empty and there were no female relatives of the emperor, Hua Manlou stayed in the palace. He would be sent out of the palace after he recovered.

Long Xun Gu Nu and Chen Ziqi went to see this Flower Goddess who was famous in another world. This person seemed very relaxed no matter where she was. Even Chen Ziqi, a woman who was very indifferent to people other than transmigrators, softened her coldness and occasionally said a few words.

The Gu woman also told him about the floods in the north, emphasizing how wise, mighty, great, and noble the Dragon God was, even using his body to block the mudslide and save many people. After listening, Hua Manlou solemnly and sincerely expressed his admiration and gratitude to Long Xun.

"Of course," Long Xun simply replied.

Long Xun will not concern himself with the natural cycle of life, birth, aging, sickness, and death, nor with the survival of the fittest in the food chain. However, he will do his best to help with natural disasters and man-made calamities.

Those with greater abilities should help more, and those with less ability should help less.

This is something that should be taken for granted and is not something to be thanked for. Regardless of whether he has past memories, whether he has been reincarnated, or what position he holds, what is engraved in Long Xun's bones, that innate, almost instinctive, protectiveness, will not change, whether for insignificant lives or for the equally insignificant world.

Yin Chen's enthusiastic plan to build the country after acquiring a large sum of money was thwarted. After a portion of the money was used to hold a grand ceremony, it was divided in two: one part was used to continue fighting on the border, and the other part was intended to be used to provide relief to disaster victims.

The silver was entrusted to the Prince of Pingnan's residence. A portion had already been used for disaster relief, but the remaining amount was still considerable. Then, as everyone knows, the master thief emerged and stole the silver.

Upon hearing the news, the cash-strapped Yin Chen immediately overturned the imperial desk and furiously ordered the Six Doors to investigate thoroughly and find out who dared to provoke him! Who dared to touch the money that even he himself was reluctant to use!

The newly appointed Imperial Advisor, Long Xun, who didn't care much about national affairs, had already leisurely accepted the invitation from Prince Pingnan to visit the Prince's residence with Hua Manlou while the emperor's roar echoed throughout the morning court session.

Long Xun had already experienced the power of the original work. Didn't you see that in the first world, the female lead turned back into the male lead and still resisted all the pressure to be with Xuan Yuan Hao? This time, the Gu Nu and Hua Man Lou in the palace always seem to meet by chance, just like the legendary pull of fate, which is not so surprising.

The Gu girl may not look so well-behaved, but she is actually an adorable girl. She always stands out from the crowd with her unique and magical style. It's rare to be unhappy when you're with her.

This girl became very good friends with Hua Manlou in just a few days using this style of interaction, and now she often leaves the trio to go and play with Hua Manlou on her own.

Today marks the first time in nearly a month since Long Xun became the Imperial Advisor that he has seen the Gu Woman for more than ten minutes.

Hua Manlou was dressed in a white robe, warm as spring. Long Xun hadn't had a chance to use his magic recently, so the Wan Hua Qin Feng set was still on him. The black robe had intricate and elegant patterns, and his silver hair had grown a little longer, hanging down to his hips and tied at the ends, making him look dignified and noble.

The Gu Girl exclaimed in a dreamlike voice, "Dragon God is getting more and more handsome!"

Long Xun simply shook his head and didn't say anything more.

However, before the Prince of Pingnan arrived, they saw another person, a man who was indifferent and aloof, like a cloud floating in the sky.

He wore a spotless white robe, his face was pale, and he had a slight mustache. His eyes weren't particularly dark, but they resembled two cold stars in the night. His fingers were long and strong, and a sword hung at his waist.

He walked into the hall through the main gate with an upright and dignified air, his gaze sweeping coldly over everyone present. He showed no surprise at Long Xun's dragon horns, nor did he display the typical infatuation that men have for the Gu woman and Chen Ziqi's beauty.

It was as if the four people sitting there were lifeless stones.

After looking at several people, the man slowly spoke to Long Xun: "Imperial Preceptor Long Xun."

His question sounded like a statement.

Long Xun was naturally familiar with this distinctive character: "Ye Gucheng, Lord of Baiyun City".

Ye Gucheng nodded.

After the Prince of Pingnan appeared and explained the predicament of the Prince of Pingnan's mansion to everyone, they all understood why Ye Gucheng had appeared at the Prince of Pingnan's mansion.

He came to help protect the property of the Prince of Pingnan's mansion. In order to lure out the Embroidery Thief, the Prince of Pingnan took out treasures and publicized them to the whole world. They were certain that the Embroidery Thief would come.

Although, apart from Hua Manlou, the three time-travelings all knew perfectly well that Ye Gucheng had actually come to Pingnan Prince to plot a rebellion, and that this theft might have been Pingnan Prince's way of providing some start-up capital for the rebellion.
