Chapter 80 That’s not what you just said
Liu Zhiyuan was stunned and felt that he was very miserable, but deep down he had a feeling of gloating. What was going on?
Zhou Kang felt extremely aggrieved and tore off the sachet from his waist and placed it on the table.
He also took out his handkerchief, purse, jade pendant, and all his personal belongings.
Pointing at the crooked white ducks, he complained, "Look at these ducks, they're so ugly. She insisted I wear them, and if I didn't, she'd turn on me. Now I go to investigate cases every day, and my colleagues and subordinates all laugh at me for being henpecked."
What’s even more infuriating is that those people kept asking who his wife was and which little witch had bewitched him.
He then realized that he was just an underground lover! The kind with no official status!
It’s so miserable.
Also, his wife is not a little devil at all, she is clearly a tigress.
Zhou Kang chattered away a lot of Yan Ruyu's evil deeds. After he finished accusing her, he found that he was so excited when he took off the sachet that he broke the hanging rope. He was so distressed that he quickly took it and tied a knot to fix it.
The already ugly sachet looks even uglier with a crooked knot on it.
Liu Zhiyuan's expression was indescribable. "Why don't you change to a better-looking rope?"
It's not worth much money.
"No way!" Zhou Kang refused. "Xiaoyu braided this red string for me herself. How can I throw it away?"
Liu Zhiyuan, "..."
Well, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten.
Yan Ruyu walked in and saw that the things she had given Zhou Kang were all on the table. She narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhou Kang quickly put on the sachet and said with a grin, "The thing you gave me is so beautiful, I couldn't help but show it off."
Yan Ruyu gave him a look that said well done and keep up the good work.
Zhou Kang smiled even more happily.
Liu Zhiyuan held his forehead speechlessly, "That's not what you just said."
The small kitchen in Fuqing Palace made some snacks and the three of them sat down to chat.
Liu Zhiyuan and Zhou Kang tacitly agreed not to bring up the previous topic anymore. Yan Ruyu didn't know whether she didn't become suspicious or wasn't interested, so she didn't ask what they talked about when they were alone together.
Liu Zhiyuan took a piece of cake and ate it while looking at Zhou Kang silently, like a fool who had caught up with his goddess for the first time, serving Yan Ruyu food at his beck and call.
I can’t even describe how excited I was.
There is a saying that goes, marrying the woman you love is like winning a battle.
Although he hadn't married her yet and she was at best just a secret lover, it felt like he had won ten battles.
Liu Zhiyuan lowered her eyes. It was almost time for Concubine Chen to come and catch them cheating. However, she was here tonight, and Zhou Kang came from nowhere. The spies arranged by Concubine Chen might not be able to find Zhou Kang.
It is too dangerous to leave such a traitor in Yan Ruyu Palace.
I have to find a way to let Yan Ruyu know that there is a spy around her, and remind her that her and Zhou Kang may be being watched by someone, so she should be careful.
Glancing at Yan Ruyu and Zhou Kang, Liu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "The emperor gifted me a night-shining pearl that glows at night. It's really beautiful. Would you like to see it?"
Yan Ruyu was surprised. "Is it a night-shining pearl as big as a fist that emits green light?"
"Yeah, have you seen it?"
Yan Ruyu's eyes were dim. "I'm jealous! That was a national treasure presented by Jiang Nation at the beginning of the year, a treasure used to ask the Emperor to reduce the tribute. At the palace banquet, the night-shining pearl was covered with a layer of red cloth, but the light shone through the cloth, showing its astonishing brightness."
At that time, the news spread throughout the palace, and everyone was congratulating the emperor on obtaining this treasure.
However, the night pearl was directly put into the inner treasury by the emperor, and no one had the chance to see it.
I didn’t expect that such a treasure would be awarded to Liu Zhiyuan!
Hold!
She was going to be jealous, she was really going to be jealous!
Liu Zhiyuan was slightly surprised. Is it so precious? When she saw it, she just sighed and said, "It turns out there really are night pearls in the world."
And then nothing happened.
A glowing stone is certainly beautiful, but no matter how beautiful it is, it is just a stone. In her opinion, it is not much different from a light bulb.
There's no light bulb yet.
And in terms of beauty, it is not as good as the jewelry and diamonds she had before.
"Then I'll have someone send it over."
She stood up, walked to Jinfu and whispered something to her.
Jin Fu looked surprised, nodded, and turned to leave.
Liu Zhiyuan continued to sit down and chat.
Yan Ruyu was obviously very interested in the night pearl and kept talking about it.
Zhou Kang silently took note. It was said that the Night Pearl was the inner elixir of the mermaids of the East China Sea. He wondered if he could still find it. If not, he could try to find fluorite or apatite to make a set of luminous jewelry for Yan Ruyu.
The one who arrived before Jinfu was Concubine Chen.
Qiao'er hurried in, "Your Majesty, Concubine Chen is here."
"What?" Yan Ruyu frowned, "What is she doing here?"
"I don't know. He's got guards with him and is rushing in. We can't stop him."
Yan Ruyu slammed the table in anger, "How dare Chen be so bold as to act wildly in my palace!"
And with guards? Ha!
Yan Ruyu had rolled up her sleeves, looking like she was going to pick a fight.
Liu Zhiyuan put down the teacup and winked at Zhou Kang, signaling him to leave quickly.
Zhou Kang stood up and wanted to coax Yan Ruyu, but the situation was urgent, so he could only look at Yan Ruyu reluctantly and turned to walk behind the screen.
Liu Zhiyuan's eyes fell on the screen, wanting to know how Zhou Kang got out, but Yan Ruyu had already walked out angrily.
She hurried out.
Just as they reached the door of the inner hall, Concubine Chen came in with her men, and the three of them met face to face.
Seeing that Liu Zhiyuan was also there, the smug expression on Concubine Chen's face suddenly froze.
"You...Liu Fei, why are you here?"
Liu Zhiyuan smiled, "I have nothing better to do, so I'm here to chat with the Imperial Concubine. So, the Imperial Concubine is here to chat with the Imperial Concubine as well?"
Yan Ruyu sneered, "Oh, that Concubine Chen is really elegant. She came to chat with me and even brought guards with her. She even broke into Fuqing Palace by force. How brave!"
Concubine Chen's face changed slightly. What happened? The palace maid just said that Xiaojuan saw Yan Ruyu having an affair with a man from outside the palace and asked her to come and catch them in the act.
Why did the foreign man become Liu Zhiyuan?
wrong.
For such an important matter, why would Xiaojuan let her sisters come and report it instead of going there herself?
Careless!
She had just received the news and thought she had caught Yan Ruyu. She was too excited and did not interrogate the palace maid's identity.
Now it seems that she has been tricked by someone else!
Damn it, I alerted Yan Ruyu and made her wary. It will be very difficult to catch her in the future.
Concubine Chen was filled with resentment and resentment, but she could only smile and say, "I just heard that there was an assassin in the palace. I was worried about the safety of the Imperial Concubine, so I brought the guards to check on her."
Yan Ruyu had a face that said, "Do you think I'm stupid?" and a forced smile. "Assassin? As the head of the harem, how could I not have heard of this?"
"I just heard about it too. Maybe I'm mistaken."
"If there really is an assassin, Concubine Chen doesn't care about the emperor's safety, but instead runs into my palace. Concubine Chen really cares about me."
Concubine Chen's smile was about to fade. "Your Majesty, you have worked hard in managing the harem, and I naturally care about you. Since you are alright, I will take my leave."
"Is she ill?" Yan Ruyu gritted her teeth at Concubine Chen's departing figure. "Wait, tomorrow I'll ask for your respects. I won't kill her!"
