A wisp of red gauze floated past the crowd from behind. Everyone was stunned and looked for the source of the fragrance, but they only saw a graceful back, which aroused their imagination.

As soon as she entered the yard, Lan Shuiyao raised her eyebrows lazily and looked at the uninvited man in the yard. He smelled the footsteps, turned around and smiled softly, as calm and indifferent as a banished immortal, just like a scroll of light ink landscape, embracing all the rivers and streams and stunning the eyes of the connoisseurs.

"You're here again? What message do you want to bring this time?"

Tian Wen stared at the beauty of the woman in a daze until he heard a light cold snort, and then he came back to his senses.

Lan Shuiyao curled her beautiful lips and giggled. She thought Tian Wen was aloof from the world, but it turned out that he could be hypnotized by her. It was just that his mind was in a state of confusion and he woke up in time.

"I wonder if Miss Lan has heard of Qizhan Linglong?" Tian Wen lowered his eyes, a hint of incongruous sadness flashed across his eyes, and then turned into indifference in an instant.

"I've heard of it!" Shui Yao raised her eyebrows. "Everyone on the street is talking about it now. Isn't it the national treasure of Louxi Country? Why? Are you interested?"

Tianwen raised his eyes, a trace of resentment seeped out from that body, which was disturbed by the air and dissipated, leaving only the light warmth. His words were still as carefree as before, "I just heard about it, just chatting!"

Just chatting? Lan Shuiyao raised her eyebrows, not making any comment. Ever since she met this mysterious and beautiful man, every word he said made Shuiyao feel that it was not a casual one, as if every word was full of hidden meanings!

"You showed up in my yard just to have a casual chat?" Lan Shuiyao walked up to him seductively, put her hands around his dark brown hair and drew circles on his chest.

He opened his eyes calmly and brushed the hair from her

He pulled his hand away and said calmly, "I guess so!"

"Oh? Now that you're done talking, is it time to leave?" She touched his face and pinched his delicate, pointed chin, her eyes revealing her teasing for him without disguising it.

A blush slowly appeared on that misty, cold face. Tianwen looked away, turned his face away, and pulled his jaw away from her hand, "Tianwen, goodbye!"

Shui Yao laughed twice, put her hands on his waist, and pressed him against her. Her breath seduced him, "I said, this is not an inn, not a hotel, you can come as you like, and leave as you like!"

His face turned redder again, but his blue eyes remained calm and composed. "I'll wait for you at the door from now on!"

Lan Shuiyao was stunned and smiled charmingly, "I just want to know, what is your purpose?"

He suddenly floated back and brushed his cold fingers across her face. The fragrance, the sandalwood that seeped out from deep within her skin, followed the direction of the wind and stained her hair.

"I've already said it, let Miss Lan see my sincerity!" He stood there without any gesture, but he made people feel a kind of worship from the bottom of their hearts. Perhaps it was this kind of worship that made Lan Shuiyao want to tear off the man's mask.

"I don't see any sincerity, but danger is everywhere. It seems that I need to strengthen the security of my territory!"

Lan Shuiyao laughed sweetly, took out an abacus and calculated for a while, "A security guard gets two taels of silver a month. If you ask for my help, I will have to hire at least twenty of them, which means forty taels a month. In a year... Wow, that's a lot of money!"

Tian Wen looked at the woman who was calculating the accounts, and a hint of unnoticeable tenderness slowly appeared in his sky-blue eyes, "

Even if there are a hundred of you, they can't stop me. If I want to see you, I can find you even if you are at the ends of the earth!"

Shui Yao raised her eyes, put the golden abacus in her arms, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and glared at him coldly, arrogant and presumptuous, "So confident? How about we make a bet?"

Tianwen looked at her, wondering what she was up to.

"After one year, if I can still make you find me easily, don't call me your follower, I will be your follower!"

"Okay, it's a deal!" Tian Wen's eyes flashed, and he stretched out his snow-white palm and raised it in the air.

Shui Yao raised her hand to meet the attack, and the crisp sound of collision rang out in the air.

Yongnan Palace.

Yue Nanchen was wearing a black robe embroidered with golden bird patterns and standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back.

Outside the window, rain was hitting the lotus leaves. It was raining all day long. The intermittent threads were like his tangled thoughts...

"Master!" After two secret signals were heard from the roof, Qianhun, dressed in white, stood behind him.

"The Red Rose organization is not a simple one. I have almost found some clues several times, but there are always people who sabotage it secretly. Moreover, those people's martial arts are not only weird but also extremely high. It seems that they are protecting the Red Rose!"

"Really?" Yue Nanchen frowned. It seemed that the situation was more complicated than he had imagined. What was the power hidden behind the Red Rose?

The image of the green-clothed figure on the Blue Water Tower flashed quickly through his mind. Oh, why did the National Master go down the mountain? He actually ignored that figure.

“Qianhun, go up the mountain and find the imperial teacher. Take this unfinished chess game with you and ask him to solve it!” Turning around and waving his hand, the unfinished chess game on the desk slowly rose up and floated into Qianhun’s hand, while the pieces on the board remained motionless and remained as they were.

Although I don't understand what Master means, Qianhun still

He obeyed the order and left.

Standing in front of the window, looking at the rain, the last time he played chess with Tianwen reappeared in his mind. Yue Nanchen couldn't help but say, "Tianwen, I hope you don't have ambitions!"

The rain slowly stopped, and two or three of the snow-white and bright red petals fell in the wind, wet with dew and rain. Their fresh colors fell on the ground, forming clusters of sentimental colors.

There was a gentle knock on the door, and Fulu stood outside the door and said respectfully, "Sir, the emperor is here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a man's hearty laughter. Yue Nanxuan, dressed in crimson purple, looked noble and ostentatious. He swaggered in, closed the door, and blinked mysteriously, "Royal brother, you have to help me this time!"

Yue Nanchen looked at him calmly, his dark eyes were quiet but secretly alert. No one knew what tricks his third brother, who was unwilling to be lonely, would come up with!

Seeing Yue Nanchen remained silent, Yue Nanxuan did not feel embarrassed and continued to talk to himself, "Royal brother, have you ever liked someone? Have you ever experienced the feeling of missing someone for three years after not seeing them for just one day? You must know. Remember that year when the emperor asked him to lead the troops to war, and that day happened to be Dong Qing'er's birthday, you would rather disobey the emperor's order to..."

Suddenly, he felt the sharp eyes of the person opposite him piercing him, and he quickly shouted: "Ahhh, I won't say anything. In fact, I want to say that I now feel that way. In order to create an opportunity to see the woman I love, I even took out the treasure of the palace. Hehe, am I a spendthrift?"

Yue Nanchen looked at him coldly and nodded.

Yue Nanxuan was stunned. "Okay, my brother, you are so treasonous that you said I was a loser. Tell me, how should I punish you?"

Yue Nanchen rolled his eyes coldly.

I sat down at the table and turned the pages of the book. The condensed momentum meant nothing more than one thing, "Go away, I won't see you off!"

Seeing that coercion didn't work, Yue Nanxuan immediately offered inducements, "If I can see her this time, I can set any conditions, as long as I can do it!"

Yue Nanchen slowly raised his eyes, "Really?"

Yue Nanxuan was stunned, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, but the words were spoken, and he could not regret it, so he blinked cunningly, "Just don't make it too difficult for me!"

Yue Nanchen sneered, "Third brother, you have always been so cunning since you were a child, but you are right this time. I can protect Qizhan Linglong and I can also protect Hongmeigui from being hurt, but after that, you have to send my two princesses back to where they came from!"

Yue Nanxuan was stunned. "Your conditions are too harsh. One is the prime minister, and the other is the richest businessman in the world. How can I offend the court and the people?"

Yue Nanchen sneered, "That was in the past. Now that Third Brother's throne is so secure, is he still afraid of them?"

Yue Nanxuan was in a dilemma. "Then let's put it this way. Only one can be sent back. You choose one, the principal wife or the concubine!"

Yue Nanchen frowned. Although he was not very satisfied, he knew he couldn't be impatient. "Then let's start with the concubine!"

"Okay!" Yue Nanxuan nodded reluctantly, and suddenly thought of something, leaned over and asked mysteriously: "You don't really want to vacate the position of princess to Lan Shuiyao, do you?"

Yue Nanchen turned his head and looked at him coldly. Before he could speak, Yue Nanchen laughed to himself, "Hehe, I knew you wouldn't admit it. It's true. Yaoyao is much better than those two women. Your choice is correct. I support you!"
