Looking back coldly at the Imperial Garden, where only hundreds of flowers were competing for beauty, Ji Xiang snorted coldly and walked straight out of the courtyard.

In the flower pavilion outside the Imperial Garden, eunuchs and palace maids stood everywhere. Inside the pavilion, Mi Zun was drinking alone with a frown on his face.

Ji Xiang went straight ahead.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Empress Dowager!" All the eunuchs and palace maids saluted. Ji Xiang waved his hand coldly, and everyone went down.

Mi Zun seemed not to see her and just looked at the cup in his hand.

"Why are you drinking alone?" Ji Xiang sat down in front of him and said with a faint smile.

Mi Zun put down the wine glass and looked at her eyes carefully. She was not like Liu Yirou who practiced witchcraft to maintain her beauty. She let her beauty fade away, but she became more and more dignified as she aged. But this time when she came back, he didn't know why, but he felt that she had changed.

Even the temperament he loved the most had changed. The vicious expression on her face when she fed Nan Han the abortion pills flashed through his mind again.

"What's wrong?" Ji Xiang was slightly stunned and touched his face, "Is there anything wrong?"

Mi Zun shook his head, "Xiang'er, do you still remember our first meeting? Outside the city gate, you came in a carriage, lifted the curtain and smiled at me. I felt that all the flowers were withered, but your smile was so beautiful, which I will never forget!"

Mi Zun sighed, "At that time, I was against it because it was a political marriage, but the moment I saw your smile, all my opposition disappeared, and I even thanked God for letting me get the love of my life!"

"Although I have many concubines in my harem, you are the one I love the most. You have always known this, but you are cold and don't like to laugh. I often feel lost. I deliberately angered you about Liu Yirou's matter. I wanted to see if you really don't care about me, but..."

The most respected

The conversation changed, "What I don't understand is that you could even let Liu Yirou go, why are you so harsh on Nan Han?"

Ji Xiang sneered in his heart. Did she let Liu Yirou go? Didn't that woman die in a very ugly way?

Once the seeds of revenge burned in her heart, she couldn't control herself. She would not let go of anyone who made her jump off the cliff in hatred, Lingxi, including those bitches!

Ji Xiang said, "Do you feel that I am too harsh on Nan Han? Do you want that bastard to rule the Miro Kingdom?"

Mi Zun sighed, "Are you really doing this for the Miluo Kingdom? Xiang'er, until now, are you still going to deceive me? When I saw you personally feeding Nanhan the medicine, my heart was trembling. I was thinking, is that still my Xiang'er?"

Ji Xiang lowered his eyes slightly, "What does the emperor mean by these words?"

Mi Zun shook his head, smiled bitterly, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked away.

Ji Xiang was stunned, looking at the man's slightly old back, biting her lip tightly. Has she really changed? Even Mi Zun can see it, what happened to her? She...

"Let me out, let me out, mother, mother, please let me out!" In Fengchen Palace, Xiangze was yelling, while Ji Xiang was sitting alone in front of the dressing mirror, staring at the woman in the mirror in a daze. They had first met twenty years ago...

Twenty years ago, she wanted to be reborn. She swore that Ling Shuiyan was dead and only Ji Xiang was alive. But what is she doing now? She still hates that man and persecutes those women and their children!

Why did she become like this? She didn't want to be like this, but since she knew Liu Yirou's identity, she couldn't hold back and walked towards the abyss step by step...

"Your Majesty, the princess has been calling you for a long time, right..." Long Wu whispered behind her.

"Slap!" Ji Xiang turned around suddenly and shouted coldly.

Long Wu immediately slapped himself.

"Long Qing just didn't understand her own identity, and ended up like that. Do you want to follow Long Qing's old path?" Ji Xiang stood up coldly, "I know when to let her out, and I don't need you to remind me!"

Long Wu responded with a "yes" and dared not speak again.

Xiang was still staring at the mirror in a daze. In Fengchen Palace, Xiangze's voice could be heard shouting: "Let me out!"

After the Little New Year, the New Year soon arrived. Last year, I was so busy competing with Yue Nanchen in wits and courage that I didn't even smell the festive atmosphere of the New Year. Because there were still important things to do after the New Year, Shui Yao made this New Year celebration particularly grand.

Not only were all meals free at Lan Shui Yao on New Year's Day, but there were also free shows. So before it got dark, many men did not go home to celebrate the New Year, but gathered in front of Lan Shui Tower to watch the show, making all the women in the city jealous.

But no one dared to pull her husband back, because who owned the Lanshui Tower? She was the future Princess of Yongnan, and with the famous Prince of Yongnan around, who would dare to say no?

Upstairs in the Lanshui Building, Yue Nanchen shook his head helplessly. There was nothing he could do. Shui Yao just liked to show off like this. She knew that this would anger everyone, but as long as she was happy and willing to do whatever she wanted, no one could stop her!

"Master, I have found out that Madam has contacted Giant Clam and Han Country and they have sent people to contact them. The military factory is also stepping up production. Madam seems to want to do something big but she doesn't want you to know!"

Qianhun hurried back from outside near the end of the year. In order to prevent Shuiyao from noticing, he went to investigate in person. The results of his investigation were naturally true and reliable.

Yue Nanchen nodded. He had noticed it a long time ago, but Shui Yao refused to say anything.

The situation in the world was turbulent, although Nanyue had recovered Giant Clam and Louxi.

But because this battle cost too much, the previous leading position has been broken. Although Leng Yichen of Han Kingdom has signed a peace agreement, his attitude is ambiguous. Miluo Kingdom is even more eager to see it. Now the situation of three kingdoms has been formed. I am afraid...

However, Shui Yao has always known how to protect herself, so she would not easily get involved in the Three Kingdoms chaos. The most likely possibility is... "Thousand Souls!"

Yue Nanchen said coldly, "Go check Yinglu's background. I suspect Yinglu's background is related to the Miro Kingdom!"

"Huh?" Qianhun was stunned, but still answered, "Yes!"

"And the Emperor, is there still no news?" Yue Nanchen couldn't help but frowned when he mentioned Yue Nanxuan. Tonight is New Year's Eve. It must be lonely for the third brother to spend the New Year alone outside, right?

"No, the people from Wantong Hall are still investigating!" Qianhun whispered, "Because the emperor's identity cannot be made public, it is very difficult to find out..."

Yue Nanchen waved his hand, "I understand, you go down first. You can spend the New Year in Yuecheng tonight as a holiday. You can set off tomorrow!"

Qianhun was delighted, "Thank you, sir, but..." Qianhun stepped forward with a grin, "Sir, do you know where Lan Yi went? I haven't seen her in the past few days!"

Yue Nanchen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed softly and asked, "Do you like Lan Yi?"

Qianhun blushed, "What are you talking about? Lan Yi is still a little girl. I just feel that it will be lonely to spend the New Year alone now that Bai Ren is gone, so I want to find a companion!"

Yue Nanchen lowered his eyes, seeming a little sad, "Bai Ren has Ying Lu to accompany you, you are really alone, why don't you spend the New Year in the palace this year, we can have fun together!"

Qianhun scratched his head and said, "Come on, I will become a light bulb. I won't go!"

"Light bulb?" Yue Nanchen was stunned. "What is that?"

Qianhun was delighted, "So the prince didn't know, it was the Madam who said it, the one who hinders others from being intimate is the light bulb!"

Yue Nanchen curled his lips helplessly. It must be Qianhun who came to Lanshui Tower to disrupt business and was driven out by Shuiyao.

Qianhun seemed to have ADHD since Bai Ren left, and he was always unwilling to be idle. Yue Nanchen knew that he was afraid of loneliness, so maybe he should find a good marriage for him!

"Well, come if you are asked to, otherwise you won't even have a home during the New Year!"

"Sir, the madam is looking for you!" A waiter in a tuxedo and tie came over cautiously with a smile on his face. In this world, only the proprietress of their Lanshuilou dared to assign Prince Yongnan to do things.

The tone was even more arrogant than that of the emperor. Alas, it was hard for these so-called "waiters" because they had to speak to the prince very carefully every time, for fear that the prince would be unhappy and chop them in half.

But it seems that the prince is always in a good mood when he is with the boss lady. God bless you!

Yue Nanchen walked slowly in the corridor on the second floor. From here he could clearly see the depressed tones of the first floor, hear the romantic music, and the trivial hums that led to people falling.

The whole place was in darkness, so the light on the stage was particularly dazzling. The woman's alluring curves and sexy clothes, as she twisted and swayed on the stage, seemed to hook everyone's minds and captivate their souls.

Sometimes Yue Nanchen really wanted to split Shui Yao's head open to see what was inside that could make her come up with such extravagant music and wild performance costumes.
