Lu Yunting and Jiang Yueyang continued to stroll along Zhuque Street, the lights shining on them, like a beautiful painting.
As they walked, they came to a bridge. People were coming and going on the bridge, and boats were floating down the river under the bridge.
Lu Yunting looked at the wood carving in her hand and said, "Yangyang, let me see my wood carving."
"Oh." Jiang Yueyang handed over Lu Yunting's wood carving.
Lu Yunting didn't take it, but reached out and took another wooden sculpture, with a seductive smile in his voice, "This one is mine."
"oh."
Jiang Yueyang slowly turned her head to the side, unable to hide the smile and shyness on her little face.
At this time, a melodious flute sound was heard, and the two instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.
There was a young man in white playing the flute on the boat, attracting the attention of countless people on the shore.
The sound of the flute was somewhat sad, and the boy's expression was also somewhat sad.
After a while, the sound of the flute faded away, and Jiang Yueyang smiled and said, "Ayue, it's getting late, let's go back."
"Um."
At that time, on the other side, Wensheng had sent people to rescue Zhou Yan's sister from Lantian County.
During the day, Wensheng had ordered people to lock up Li Hui and interrogate him.
At first, Li Hui refused to admit it.
It was not until this time that Zhou Yan's sister appeared in front of him and he admitted his mistake and begged for mercy.
Li Hui kowtowed vigorously, "Sir, I know I was wrong. Please spare my life for the sake of our relationship as master and disciple."
When Zhou Yan saw his sister who had been tortured like a walking corpse, his eyes immediately turned red and he rushed towards Li Hui like a madman.
"I'm going to kill you!" Zhou Yan grabbed Li Hui's neck tightly, "Damn it, you deserve to die!"
"Quickly pull him away!" Wensheng shouted immediately.
Seeing this, the people around rushed forward to pull Zhou Yan, but Zhou Yan was too strong and they couldn't pull him away even if they worked together.
Seeing that Li Hui was about to be strangled to death, Wen Sheng hurriedly said, "Knock him out quickly."
Another disciple of Wensheng slashed Zhou Yan's neck with a knife, and Zhou Yan fainted immediately.
Li Hui coughed violently and tears came out.
He said with difficulty: "First... please spare my life, sir."
"I won't spare your life." Wen Sheng said expressionlessly, "Tomorrow, I will hand you over to the government. The government will make the final decision on whether you live or die."
"No... I don't want to die. Sir, I am your most proud disciple. If anything happens to me, your reputation will be ruined."
Wen Sheng was powerless to say anything else. He waved his hand and said, "Lock him up in the woodshed and keep him under strict watch."
Li Hui struggled and said, "Master, do you really want to watch me die?"
"Take him away!" Wensheng closed his eyes.
"Master, I was wrong, please save me..."
Li Hui's cry for help gradually faded away. Wen Sheng opened his eyes and ordered, "Please ask the doctor to come and treat him."
On the other side, Lu Yunting slowly sent Jiang Yueyang to the door of Jiang's house.
Under the silver moon, the moonlight lengthened the figures of the two people.
Lu Yunting looked into her lively eyes and said in a soft and affectionate voice, "Yangyang, I am very happy."
"I am happy too."
The two looked at each other affectionately and were silent for a moment.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow." Lu Yunting smiled and raised his hand to ruffle her hair.
"Um."
Lu Yunting reluctantly withdrew his hand and said, "Go in."
"Then be careful on the road."
After saying that, Jiang Yueyang waved to him and walked into the house, looking back every few steps.
Lu Yunting lowered his eyes and looked at the wood carving in his hand, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
The moonlight is so beautiful tonight.
The next morning, the gentle sunlight shone through the leaves, casting spots of light.
Jiang Yueyang was gently awakened by Xiangling, and as soon as she opened her eyes she saw the wood carving on the bedside.
She pulled the corners of her mouth gently, "Morning."
Last night, because she came home late, Jiang Yueyang was taught a lesson by her mother, father and brother.
In addition, she asked Qingming to inform Zhou Yan late at night last night. I don’t know whether he believed it or not.
She felt that Zhou Yan would believe it, because when people are helpless and desperate, they are always willing to grasp the glimmer of hope thrown by others.
Little did he know that on the other side, Li Hui died in the woodshed, and it was Zhou Yan who did it.
Quarter of an hour later, Jiang Yueyang finished her breakfast, put on her official uniform, put on the ruby necklace given by Lu Yunting, and went out to attend the court.
When the carriage reached the intersection, she saw Lu Yunting riding on horseback as promised.
"Ah Yue, how long have you been waiting?"
Lu Yunting rode to the car window and said, "Not long."
[It’ll only be two quarters of an hour.] The system added silently.
How do you know?
[I'm scanning a wide area now.] The system voice was scattered, [Yesterday I heard that he was coming to pick you up, I was curious about how early he would come, so I scanned it casually.]
After listening to the system's words, Jiang Yueyang looked at Lu Yunting, "Don't come so early in the future. I always go out on time."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Afterwards, the two of them headed towards the imperial city together. On the way, Jiang Yueyang also fed Lu Yunting a lot of delicious food.
Happy times always pass quickly, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the gate of the palace.
Not long after, they were sitting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony again.
As the time for court approached, Emperor Yuan came over with his entourage, looking tired.
Perhaps he was not in good spirits, as he announced his retirement from court after dealing with a few important memorials.
The entire morning court session lasted less than two quarters of an hour.
Jiang Yueyang felt so great. It would be great if the morning court could end so quickly every day.
Unfortunately, you don’t have to think about it to know that it is impossible.
After Emperor Yuan left, all the civil and military officials did not linger but left the hall to return to their respective duties.
When Minister Jiang passed by Lu Yunting, he glared at him warningly.
"Pay attention to me."
Lu Yunting responded obediently and didn't dare to say anything more.
Minister Jiang was still angry, so he simply called Lu Yunting aside to give him a lecture.
Something like Yangyang is not following the rules and you should remind her, and you can't follow her in breaking the rules, and so on.
Seeing this, Jiang Yueyang quietly left the hall, thinking to herself, Ayue, Yangyang can't help.
The third prince looked at Lu Yunting, then at Jiang Yueyang, and finally chased after him.
"Jiang Yueyang, are you going to look for Father now?"
"Um."
