Xiaoyu whispered quickly, and then looked around vigilantly, fearing that someone would hear it and gossip about it.

"But all these misfortunes seem to have started with Nanyue's arranged marriage. First..."

"Princess, this is none of your business. Don't think too much about it. Just take a rest!" Xiaoyu hurriedly stopped Nanhan from thinking any further.

Nan Han smiled bitterly. What did she do wrong? Why did it turn out like this?

The happy event turned into a funeral, and the big red lanterns in the palace that represented joy were taken down one by one, and white silks representing sorrow were hung up instead.

Because of A Luo's insistence, Mi Zun also thought it was a commemoration of Liu Yirou, so the scale of Liu Yirou's funeral was still held in accordance with her status as the mother of the nation. As a result, the three days of celebration across the country were changed to three days of mourning, and no blood was to be seen in the city within three days.

Everyone wore plain clothes, and those who bought red lanterns simply stayed at home and did not come out!

Still wearing the same flamboyant red dress and golden mask, Lan Shuiyao lazily lay on the couch and checked the time. She was never late for things like dividing the spoils and collecting the money.

Yinglu brought in some midnight snacks. When she saw Shuiyao's outfit, she said worriedly, "Miss, red is banned in Miro Country now. Will you cause unnecessary trouble if you go out like this?"

"Crack!" Shui Yao took a bite of the fruit from the midnight snack without a care. She raised her eyebrows lazily and said in a lazy and casual voice, "Liu Yirou deserved to die. Not only did she use witchcraft to harm people, but she also wanted to stay young forever. Now she is dead. She has brought disaster upon herself. Why should I mourn for her? Not celebrating all night is already giving her enough face!"

Yinglu nodded, "Liu Yirou has done a lot of harm to people. Poor Princess Nanhan, her mother-in-law died as soon as she entered the house.

In our place, such a daughter-in-law would be considered unlucky!"

After a slight pause, Shui Yao frowned, thinking of meeting Nan Han in the hall yesterday. She had indeed changed a lot, from a domineering princess to a calm woman who only wanted to marry the man she loved.

It's a pity that Liu Yirou died at such an inopportune time. I'm afraid Nanhan's life in the palace is really not easy! But why did Liu Yirou die so strangely? Didn't she have martial arts skills? How could she fall into the lotus pond for no reason? It can be said that she brought trouble upon herself!

Looking at the sky, it was almost time, Shui Yao stood up and walked out the door.

Yinglu knew that she was used to traveling with others, so she didn't say anything, but she was a little worried in her heart.

The bright red dress and the red gauze covering the face become the brightest colors of this ancient city.

Walking casually on the street, looking at the white silk everywhere and people's dull dresses, even the brothels, circuses, and those festive performances were closed. The bustling streets before became quiet. Occasionally, the hawkers' cries could be heard, but they were low and suppressed, for fear that people would hear a hint of joy.

Lan Shuiyao undoubtedly became the focus of everyone on the street!

Not wanting to cause trouble, Lan Shuiyao used her lightness skills to quickly jump onto the roof, and then disappeared into the endless night like the wind.

In the dilapidated temple outside the city, Lan Shuiyao, dressed in red and wearing a golden mask, was waiting coldly.

"The girl is so punctual!" Yue Nanchen smiled softly and walked into the ruined temple.

He didn't mean to tease Shuiyao. He just wanted her to let go of her burden and take off the mask in front of him. Then, no matter Blue Shuiyao or Red Rose,

Accept him!

Looking coldly at the man's side and surroundings, it was obvious that the man was lightly equipped and did not bring those treasures, so his eyes slightly chilled, "What? Do you want to rob the thieves?"

"Black eating black?" Yue Nanchen was stunned, a little confused about what she said, but seeing her unhappy face and seeing her constantly looking at him, he immediately explained,

"Don't worry, I won't keep it all to myself. This is our first cooperation, so I will show some sincerity!" As he spoke, he reached into his chest and took out a thick stack of silver notes. "This is a silver note that can be used in the Wantong Bank in the four countries. One hundred thousand taels, this is your share, and I will keep my share for myself!"

Yue Nanchen stretched out his hand, only to see a red shadow flash before him, followed by a gust of fragrant wind, and his hand was empty.

Glancing lazily at Yue Nanchen, Lan Shuiyao counted and checked the banknotes in her hand in a perfectly concealed and elegant manner under the candlelight in the temple. She swept away her cold and gloomy look and her face was full of smiles.

"I didn't expect you to be so efficient and actually sell the stolen goods. In just one day, you got so many stolen goods. In addition, the Mi Emperor discovered that some treasures were missing. The Mi Luo Kingdom was so vigilant. How did you do it?"

Yue Nanchen gently shook his body in front of her, "Don't forget my identity, the dignified King Yongnan of Nanyue. It's a piece of cake for me to get rid of this little bit of stolen goods!"

"Okay!" Lan Shuiyao cried out and immediately came up to him. "In that case, how about we cooperate for a long time?"

Those stolen goods were worth two hundred thousand taels according to the market price, but because they were stolen goods, they could only be sold at half the price. Yue Nanchen actually sold them for a full death tael more, so even if it was split 70% to 30%, she would still be worth it.

It is a sure win, not to mention it saves some of the risk!

"Not interested!" Although Yue Nanchen couldn't see her expression, he could clearly see the desire in her eyes and hear the flattery in her voice.

He forced himself to hold back his laughter and said seriously, "After all, I am the prince of Nanyue. This kind of thing is not in line with my status! Because we want to teach Miro a lesson, we cooperated this time. I believe that if we meet in Nanyue in the future, we will still be opponents!"

"No!" Lan Shuiyao didn't want such a good partner to leave. "At worst, I promise you that I will give up my business in Nanyue!"

Anyway, Nanyue’s foundation is almost built. After finding the holy water and breaking the blood oath, it would be nice to travel to various countries. It would be even better if we could open Blue Water Tower chain stores in the other three countries and let the reputation of Red Rose spread to all four countries!

Yue Nanchen chuckled softly, "Even if you agree, I can't do it, because I have to accompany my wife to find something very important!"

Lan Shuiyao was slightly stunned. This was the first time she heard the words "my wife" from Yue Nanchen's mouth instead of "my concubine!" Moreover, the tone of his voice and his dark and warm eyes clearly had a little more tenderness.

Seeing Shui Yao remained silent, Yue Nanchen continued, "From now on, nothing is as important as my wife's business, so if you want to cooperate with me, wait until I finish my business!"

Although he felt a little reluctant and still wanted to take a closer look at the woman, Yue Nanchen turned around resolutely.

If you want to catch fish, you must first give up the bait. There is a long time to come, so there is no need to waste this moment.

"Wait!" Lan Shuiyao's figure flashed and quickly swayed in front of him.

We have agreed on this. I will not commit crimes in Nanyue in the future, and you will ensure the safety of Red Rose in Nanyue. In addition, you will be responsible for disposing of the stolen goods I get from the other three countries! Of course, after you have dealt with 'your wife'!"

Lan Shuiyao deliberately emphasized the three words "your wife". As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Yue Nanchen's face light up with joy and said loudly, "Okay! I hope our cooperation will be successful!"

He paused, then continued, "But since we are partners, you should at least let me see your face, right?"

Lan Shuiyao raised her eyebrows and said coldly, "You want to take off my mask?"

"Yes!" Yue Nanchen stepped forward, "I should at least know whether the person I'm working with is an ugly girl or a beautiful girl!" He deliberately stretched out his fingers and gently grasped Shui Yao's arm, his eyes a little frivolous.

Frowning coldly, fortunately the mask didn't reveal a single bit of her identity. Lan Shuiyao never expected that Yue Nanchen was actually such a lustful person! He kept calling her "my wife" one moment, and the next he was touching a strange woman...

Noticing the change in temperature around the woman, Yue Nanchen thought he had gone too far in his joke, but when he saw Lan Shuiyao hiding so well, he couldn't help but tease her...

"Forget it, I'm holding your hand, but my wife is unhappy. Let's just leave it at that for now. I'm waiting for the opportunity to cooperate with you!" Yue Nanchen deliberately said loudly and moved his hand away from the woman's arm.

Lan Shuiyao frowned. Why did she feel that Yue Nanchen did it on purpose? Or was she just being too suspicious?

However, she had promised Tian Wen to help him find the source of holy water, and probably couldn't take care of the cooperation with Yue Nanchen, so she temporarily eased the atmosphere and made a gesture to see her off.
