But I couldn't break free.
The kiss deepened until the cake ended up in someone's stomach.
After taking a shower, Ji Yunxi walked back to the bedroom by herself without letting Wu Weian hold her.
Wu Weian followed beside her.
Ji Yunxi asked: "I need you to take me there."
Wu Wei'an was as sated as a cat at this moment, still thinking about the taste of his wife. Hearing this, he asked, "What?"
Ji Yunxi stepped into the room and said, "Your, no, my power, you must show me for yourself, right?"
When someone changes jobs, shouldn't there be a handover?
Wu Wei'an took a slow half step, closed the door, and after a moment's hesitation, said, "I'll take care of the affairs of Liangzhou in the next few days, and then I'll have time to show you around."
Ji Yunxi nodded: "Okay."
Wu Wei'an looked at her and asked, "Are you going to use your face then?"
Ji Yunxi shook her head: "No."
This power cannot be made public, and her face naturally cannot be made public either.
Wu Weian raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then?"
Ji Yunxi stopped and turned around: "Don't you still have a mask left?"
Wu Wei'an took the handkerchief from the table and slowly wiped his half-dry, half-wet fingertips: "There is indeed one left."
"Why?" He raised his head. "Madam, do you want to use it?"
Ji Yunxi didn't know what he meant: "Well, make an offer."
Wu Weian shook his head, leaned back lazily, and said with a faint smile: "I am not short of money now."
He reminded her, "Madam still owes me 75,000 taels of gold."
Ji Yunxi stared at him, her eyes flickering.
Wu Weian was still leaning lazily, wiping his hands carefully with a handkerchief.
After a while, Ji Yunxi walked towards him, took the handkerchief from his hand and put it aside, then took his hand, lowered her head, and gently kissed his fingertips.
They look like petals blown off branches and falling on the grass, or like thin clouds in the blue sky.
Although light and plain, it is stunning enough.
Wu Weian's heart trembled, and the suppressed desire came back again.
But Ji Yunxi had already turned and left with a chuckle.
That night, Ji Yunxi slept well, but Wu Weian did not sleep all night.

In the distant capital city of Shangjing, the emperor was also tossing and turning in bed.
The day before yesterday, in the scorching heat of June, the emperor wanted to take his young concubine, who was now in favor, to the temporary palace to escape the heat, but they encountered an ambush on the way.
Three people, the three guardians of Xuanbing Palace, killed more than a dozen royal guards and left quietly without further ado.
The emperor gave up the idea of escaping the summer heat and returned to the palace. However, when the eunuchs used silver needles to test the imperial meal that night, they found no poison and died instantly after taking it.
The emperor was assassinated on the road at noon and poisoned at night, but he remained calm.
But the night before yesterday, the emperor was sleeping in the palace of his favorite concubine. Suddenly, one of the concubine's maids jumped up. Although she died by his sword in the end, the emperor was still upset.
Yesterday, the imperial meal delivered from the imperial study was poisoned again.
It was obvious that the emperor had killed the imperial chef after the imperial meal went wrong that day, but the meal was still poisoned.
The emperor's health had been nurtured by Concubine Zhen in the past, making him virtually immune to all poisons. But times had changed. New poisons were constantly emerging, and Ji Mingyan of the Ji family was even more skilled in this, forcing the emperor to be on guard.
Today, the emperor did not go to the harem again, but when he went to the imperial garden to relax in the evening, a eunuch who was in charge of taking care of the flowers and plants suddenly flew out from the bushes and stabbed a knife straight into the emperor's heart.
These were all trivial tricks, not enough to take the emperor's life, but they made him more uneasy.
He ordered people to investigate the imperial chefs, eunuchs, and palace maids, but they found nothing.
The emperor suspected that it was the queen's people, but the queen went to the temple half a month ago, saying that she was praying for the prince, and has not returned yet.
This is his palace, his harem, but it is full of murderous intentions, and even taking a walk in the imperial garden has become fearful.
I can’t eat well, and I can’t sleep well. I always dream about old friends and past events.
The emperor stood up from his bed and called out, "Black Wind."
But after calling out the name, no one answered for a long time. The emperor then remembered that Heifeng had been killed by his own hands that day because he had concealed the fact that the bodies of the three guardians had not been found more than ten years ago.
Now the head of the secret guards is someone else.
"Dark Charm."
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in black quietly came out and knelt before the emperor: "My Lord."
The emperor looked at An Mei in front of him. An Mei came to his side six years ago. He has been loyal to him all these years and has risked his life several times. He is also very skilled and the emperor can use him at will.
Therefore, as soon as Heifeng died, the emperor let Anmei take the throne.
The emperor suddenly asked in a deep voice, "How many years have you followed me?"
An Mei replied respectfully, "Six years, my lord."
Emperor: "How did you get to me?"
Dark Charm: "I am a humble servant. Six years ago, I won first place in the inner sect disciple competition at Beishan Mountain. That's why I came to serve the Master."
The emperor asked again, "How are your wife and daughter at home?"
An Mei was stunned for a moment: "Master, I have no wife yet, and I only have a mother and a brother at home."
The emperor rubbed his brows and finally suppressed his suspicions: "The thief is now in the dark, you must be careful. You must also carefully investigate the secret guards accompanying me. If there is any mistake, execute them immediately!"
As soon as these words were spoken, murderous intent arose, and the teacup on the table beside him began to buzz.
The emperor's eyes, red from staying up late, were filled with sinister intent.
It is better to kill someone by mistake than to let someone go by mistake!
An Mei's heart trembled, and she said respectfully, "Yes, my lord!"

Now that the rainy season has passed, the Liangzhou area has returned to its former tranquility.
Over the next few days, Wu Wei'an sorted out the matters at hand, called Wen Zhaomo and the other two, and said, "For the next few days, I will take my wife to the nearby mountains to escape the summer heat. The affairs of Liangzhou will be handed over to you three for the time being. If there are any important matters, write to me."
The three of them said respectfully, "Yes, sir."
