Shu'er wore a veiled hat and walked on the busy street holding Ruyan's arm. The houses here were very different in style from those in the capital, and had a unique exotic feel.

"They probably think our attire is weird." Ji Heng walked in front, leading a horse. He had already contacted the local county government and could stay there for a few days.

"Here we are. This is the Tang Mansion."

There are two large gold-plated characters on the door plaque of the Tang Mansion. There are also two huge stone lions sitting at the door, with pearls in their mouths, looking majestic and imposing.

Gu Yunru took off the veil on her face and said, "It looks good, but I wonder what it's like inside."

"Let's go in and take a look!"

Ji Heng and his men walked up and knocked on the door roughly. A middle-aged man opened the door, who seemed to be a butler or something like that.

"How many are they?"

Just as the man was hesitating, Ji Heng took out the token and showed it to him. The man suddenly realized and led them into the mansion.

Inside the garden, there were many exquisite pavilions and towers, which complemented what was seen outside. Gu Yunru looked around and saw a couch on the east side and a huge pavilion where one could enjoy the cool air. However, if the heater was not lit in this season, people would probably be covered in ice and snow. The entire courtyard was very quiet and beautiful. The housekeeper led everyone to the hall step by step.

"Everyone, please stay here for a moment. The master still has some cases to deal with."

"No problem." The pressure in Rong Zhen's eyes made the butler shudder, but the man they carried up and lying on the couch, with a slender figure and a golden crown on his hair, was obviously not an ordinary man.

Behind the screen was the bedroom, where the emperor was taken to rest for a while. He was wearing a white robe with gold edges, and the snow outside the room gradually stopped.

Ji Ruyan slowly walked in front of the emperor, pursed her lips tightly, and a cold light flashed in her eyes. Ji Heng noticed something was wrong and immediately stood in front of her, looking at her coldly, "What are you going to do?"

Gu Yunru was drinking hot tea to warm herself up, but when she heard the noise behind the screen, she immediately came over.

"It's nothing, Ruyan. I just came to see if the emperor is awake." Gu Yunru smiled innocently and pulled Ji Ruyan to the hall. "If you have nothing to do, you'd better not get close to the emperor. Do you know that there are rumors in the army that you are the one who brought bad luck to the emperor?"

"You believe such things?" Ji Ruyan's elegant and clear eyes flashed a smile. If it was really her unlucky self, she would wake up laughing even in her dreams.

Rong Zhen sat in the hall with a stern face waiting for the arrival of Lord Tang. After a while, he finally saw a middle-aged man in a moon-white robe walking towards the crowd. His graceful and elegant manner revealed a hint of noble temperament.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long! I have asked the servants in the mansion to prepare guest rooms for you."

The man's voice was particularly deep and powerful. Gu Yunru looked at him quietly. It seemed that he had taken a break from a very busy schedule. She could still see that his gloomy face showed signs of fatigue.

Everyone packed up and went into the guest room, leaving only Rong Zhen to chat with Lord Tang. He sat there quietly, exuding a natural aura of an emperor, so much so that Tang Ye couldn't tell which one was the real emperor. "I, Tang Ye, have seen the emperor."

Seeing him bow and salute, Rong Zhen almost spit out the tea in his mouth. His deep eyes, which contained infinite power, gradually revealed a relaxed emotion.

"Master Tang has misunderstood. It is the Emperor who was injured, so how could it be me?"

"Oh, I'm blind. If I'm not mistaken, you should be His Royal Highness Prince Zhao." Tang Ye seemed very reserved. Looking at his facial features, one could detect a cold and ruthless meaning. He didn't smile, but just sitting there gave off an irresistible domineering aura. His sword-like eyebrows were like ink paintings, and his straight nose carved a handsome outline of his facial features, all of which showed his unique charm! "We may have to disturb you for a few more days in the Tang Mansion. Please forgive us, Lord Tang." Rong Zhen took out some small gifts to show his respect. These things were priceless. Tang Ye's eyes flashed. He was indeed a prince, so generous.

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. This is what I should do!"

Tang Ye smiled with Rong Zhen here, while Gu Yunru and Shu'er looked around. The gardens here have a unique flavor. Masterpieces like Yulinglong and the large rockery often make people linger.

"The yard here is so beautiful. If it were in the capital, it would probably be worth a fortune!" Shu'er walked on the warm corridor. The yard had just been painted by rain and snow, adding a unique vitality. Behind the house was a bamboo forest. At the foot of the green rocks, whip-like bamboo poles grew out from the cracks in the corners of the wall. It was secluded and hidden, but added another kind of magical attraction.

"You can't buy a yard like this with a ton of money. If I'm not mistaken, the owner of this garden should be a great writer or something like that."

"Aunt, why do you think so?"

Shu'er looked at Gu Yunru eagerly, not knowing where she got her insights from. They came to a place covered with duckweed, which was sparsely populated with almost no people.

"Just think about it, the owner of such a poetic garden must be a very talented person."

"Yes, but I heard from my husband that this Lord Tang Ye has only been here for half a year, so he should have just taken over this courtyard not long ago."

"That's right." Gu Yunru looked at the vibrant green bamboos and felt a sudden enlightenment in his heart. After passing by the strange-shaped stones and admiring the garden scenery, he returned to the house with Shu'er.

"Why do I always feel that this yard is a little strange? There don't seem to be many servants." Shu'er walked through several warm corridors and came to the east wing. It was well connected and majestic and magnificent was her first impression. However, this garden was too deserted. She didn't know if it was because of the cold weather.

"Come into the house quickly to warm up." Gu Yunru looked at Shu'er and smiled. Shu'er nodded silently and went back into the house. She saw Ji Heng sitting at the table with a smile on his face, but there was a hint of coldness on his body.

"Husband..." Shu'er looked at the room, which was decorated with fine mahogany furniture and was relatively spacious and bright. She sat opposite him and couldn't help but smile.

"Hmm?" After spending these days together, Ji Heng had finally gotten rid of all his coldness and ruthlessness. He only became a little normal in front of Shu'er. Although she was not good at speaking, one could tell something from his burning eyes.
