Ye Xingchen was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Su Qianmian to recognize him.

Luo Jinxiao froze, and quickly turned around to look at him: "Master Su, you recognized the wrong person. Today is the sacrificial ceremony. How can Ye Xingchen, a woman, come to participate?"

Su Qianmian ignored it and looked at Ye Xingchen beside him: "I know it's you."

Luo Jinxiao's heart tightened. Could it be that Su Qianmian had piercing eyes? He could recognize Ye Xingchen even though he had disguised himself into such an unattractive appearance. Could he be born in the year of the dog?

Ye Xingchen looked up and met Su Qianmian's eyes, his face calm and indifferent: "Lord Su has good eyesight, it is indeed me. I asked Mr. Luo for help. If Lord Su wants to expose it, everyone has their own responsibility."

"I insisted on bringing you here. Lord Su, come to me." Luo Jinxiao said righteously.

Ye Xingchen was touched: "Thank you, Mr. Luo. Don't worry, Lord Su won't expose us."

"Why?" Luo Jinxiao was suspicious.

"If he wanted to expose us, he would have done it long ago. He wouldn't have waited until the crowd dispersed before speaking." Ye Xingchen replied.

Luo Jinxiao suddenly realized: "So that's how it is, thank you, Master Su."

The corner of Su Qianmian's mouth twitched. He felt like he had called the wrong name.

Obviously, he just wanted to know why Ye Xingchen did this, but these two people actually treated him as the bad guy and even staged a drama of righteousness. Su Qianmian was speechless.

"You haven't told me why you do this?" Su Qianmian asked again.

"Because every time the emperor held a sacrifice, he would deliberately use the name of sacrifice to plot against the regent, causing the regent to recover after several months or even the whole year after each sacrifice.

More importantly, Prince Mo always finds fault with me after the divorce, and I am not a soft persimmon. Why should I be humiliated by him again and again? I will naturally retaliate. "Ye Xingchen said frankly.

Su Qianmian's handsome brows slightly frowned: "Do you care about the Regent?"

He wanted to know the answer, but he was inexplicably afraid to hear it.

Luo Jinxiao also pricked up his ears, wanting to hear how Ye Xingchen would answer.

"Yes, I care about the Regent and don't want him to get hurt." Ye Xingchen did not hide anything or make excuses, but answered directly.

Su Qianmian's heart sank, and he clenched his fists in his sleeves.

And a hint of disappointment flashed across Luo Jinxiao's eyes. As expected, the person she liked was the Regent.

"Go back early. I still have to deal with Prince Mo's affairs. Excuse me first." Su Qianmian turned and left.

"What are we going back for? Of course we are going to Prince Mo's Mansion to watch a show. Let's go." Ye Xingchen said proudly.

Luo Jinxiao immediately followed, but he walked too fast and tripped over something, about to fall to the ground.

Fortunately, Ye Xingchen was quick and grabbed him: "Are you okay?"

Luo Jinxiao was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Miss Ye."

"How could that happen? You haven't lost consciousness yet and your body has just recovered. You must not fall." Ye Xingchen warned.

Luo Jinxiao was delighted in his heart: "Miss Ye, do you care about me?"

"Of course, I saved your body, so of course I care about you." Ye Xingchen replied.

Luo Jinxiao's eyes were filled with joy. He looked at Su Qianmian proudly and straightened his back deliberately. He looked as if to say, "Look, Miss Ye also cares about me."

Su Qianmian's expression was calm. He ignored Luo Jinxiao's provocation and was about to leave.

"By the way, Mr. Su, did your sister give you the talisman? I gave her several last time?" Ye Xingchen asked.

Su Qianmian raised his eyebrows slightly: "Yes, thank you Miss Ye. She gave me two amulets after she went back."

"That's good. You have offended Prince Mo and Concubine Xuan, so you should be more careful."

Now it was Su Qianmian's turn to be proud. He glanced at Luo Jinxiao and said, "Okay."

Luo Jinxiao's mouth twitched. This guy definitely did it on purpose.

The three of them walked out while talking, heading straight towards Prince Mo's Mansion.

Many people were gathered outside the gate of Prince Mo's mansion: "Those ghost soldiers actually sent Prince Mo back. Could it be that Prince Mo is their master?"

"Who knows? This is too weird. Let's hide from King Mo next time we see him."

"What if he lets the ghost soldiers take our lives? We won't even know how we died."

The people were talking about it and were all terrified.

Not far away, the commander of the Imperial Guards came with hundreds of Imperial Guards: "Your Majesty has ordered that Prince Mo has angered the gods and is under house arrest in Prince Mo's mansion. You are not allowed to go out without your Majesty's order!"

The common people heard it all and pointed fingers at King Mo and sneered at him.

Su Qianmian curled his lips: "Your Majesty should be afraid of King Mo."

"Now that it's done, let's withdraw. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll treat you two to a drink, how about that?" Ye Xingchen suggested.

"I'll go." Luo Jinxiao agreed without even thinking about it.

In fact, his body cannot drink alcohol, but he just wants to stay with Ye Xingchen for a while longer.

Su Qianmian glanced at Luo Jinxiao's puppy-like appearance. He originally had work to do, so he also agreed: "Okay."

The three of them went to a nearby restaurant. Ye Xingchen ordered a large table of sumptuous dishes and some shochu, and poured a glass directly for Su Qianmian.

Su Qianmian raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

Luo Jinxiao was a little unhappy: "Miss Ye, I want one too."

"What do you want, little brat? Your body can't drink alcohol. I ordered some white tea for you, so drink it." Ye Xingchen replied.

Luo Jinxiao was a little unhappy when he was called a brat: "I'm already an adult, not a brat anymore."

He didn't want Ye Xingchen to treat him as a little brat.

"Even if you are of age, you are still a child." Ye Xingchen said, and looked at Su Qianmian: "Thank you, Mr. Su, for not exposing me today. I respect you."

"Miss Ye, you're too polite." Su Qianmian said, and picked up the bowl.

Ye Xingchen drank it all in one gulp: "Refreshing." Then he poured another glass and started drinking.

"Be careful not to get drunk." Su Qianmian said.

"It's okay. It's rare to see King Mo fall today, so of course I have to drink a few more cups." Ye Xingchen said and drank two more cups.

There were some scholars reciting poems nearby, and their voices were so loud that they could be heard directly in Ye Xingchen's private room.

Those people seemed to be arguing, somewhat violently, about whose poem was better.

Ye Xingchen listened and said, "This is nonsense. This is irrelevant. This is not worthy of being called a poem."

The sound was neither loud nor soft, and it happened to be heard by the scholars next door, who immediately came over angrily.

"Girl, what right do you have to say that the poems we wrote are shit? How can you humiliate us like this?" a scholar accused angrily.

"Isn't she Ye Xingchen, the woman who was divorced by Prince Mo?"

"How dare you, a divorced woman, comment on our poems? How can you have the nerve to do that? As long as you kneel down and apologize to us today, we will forgive you. Otherwise, you can expect to be criticized by us." Another writer threatened.

Before Ye Xingchen could speak, Luo Jinxiao got angry: "You are still scholars, but you dare to ask Ye Xingchen to kneel down to you. You are not worthy of the title of scholars at all."
