The young man tightened his lips and said nothing.

Back at the palace, it was already late at night.

After hastily washing up, Lu Xiyue lay on the bed. The young man next to her took off her coat, pulled her quilt expressionlessly, and lay down on the other side.

Then, he turned over and turned his back on her.

Lu Xiyue finally sensed something was wrong, stretched out a hand from under the quilt, grabbed the corner of his quilt, and asked softly, "Are you upset?"

The youth's tightly closed eyes opened, and before Lu Xiyue could speak, they closed them again in anger.

Not getting a response, Lu Xiyue got out of the quilt, trying to straighten his body.

"Why do you want his silver instead of mine."

Before touching the corner of his clothes, the man turned around, his dark eyes pierced through the darkness and crashed into her pupils.

For a moment, Lu Xiyue felt a little guilty.

Startled, she sat down cross-legged.

Seeing this, Xiao Yunheng got up too, and lit the candle beside the bed with a torch.

The faint orange candlelight instantly illuminated the faces of the two.

"Isn't it different?"

She blinked her eyes, and her voice softened, taking away a bit of coquettishness.

Xiao Yunheng's eyes widened.

The beating sound in the chest became more and more rapid, the girl was soft and fragrant, but just a few words could arouse all the restlessness in his heart.

But soon, he realized something was wrong.

In order to fool herself, she acted like a baby!

"It's different." His face darkened, but his voice was not so stiff.

"He is the eldest brother, you are... the future husband."

Lu Xiyue knew that if she didn't coax people well today, things would definitely not end well, so she slowly moved two steps towards him, and said with a smile, "Didn't you say that you want to hold a grand wedding for me? It's not an official couple, so I can't use your money, right?"

She was persuasive and explained word by word, as if every word made sense.

After a little digging, you will find that she is simply blocking herself with what he once said.

Xiao Yunheng raised his arm lightly, not letting her embrace him.

"You block me with my words."

Lu Xiyue smiled awkwardly, she didn't expect him to be so easy to fool.

She sighed, and said quietly: "You see, I'm so happy, didn't I take the things in the big brother's warehouse, didn't I confiscate yours as well, okay, don't be unhappy."

She didn't give Xiao Yunheng a chance to dodge this time, she grabbed the arm close to her and swayed it left and right.

Xiao Yunheng only felt that his stomach was hot and writhing.

The two sat opposite each other, their eyes colliding in the silent night.

Xiao Yunheng stretched out his hand, holding that delicate face, and pressed his lips against the seductive lustrous face.

The candlelight at the bedside exploded a layer of oil, and the dripping wax flowed down the candle to the bottom. He covered himself up and pressed him against the bedding.

It took an unknown amount of time before he let go of the slightly panting girl, tilted his head, and rested his head on her shoulder.

"Sometimes I wonder if you really like me."

He could clearly feel the girl in his arms stiffen.

Lu Xiyue looked at the top of the bed, feeling the strong heartbeat covering her body, under the cover of night, inexplicable emotions jumped.

She caressed the young man's back, and smiled softly: "Of course I like you."

"You must like me." Xiao Yunheng murmured, not knowing whether to tell her or to himself: "I'm jealous."

Compared with the sworn elder brother, he, the husband who has worshiped, should be closer.

Lu Xiyue couldn't help laughing when she listened.

Going around and going around, why did I come back to this matter again.

"Turn your head around."

The young man hesitated, then turned his head.

Lu Xiyue held his face in her hands and kissed him on her thin lips: "Then give me the money, I want it, will it work?"

"All?"

"Of course, I will take as much as you give."

"It's a deal, don't go back on your word." He stared at her.

"No regrets."

Xiao Yunheng smiled suddenly, his depressed mood suddenly rose, the restrained fireworks in his eyes rose again, he lowered his head.

This time it was no longer a casual kiss.

He hugged the person he loved the most, little by little, and conquered the city with strong but not gentle kisses.

The night falls, and the stars outside the window are shining brightly.

Lu Xiyue woke up early in the morning, covered her red and swollen lips, and unceremoniously punched the young man beside her.

"Let's sleep in separate rooms tomorrow."

Although it was a kiss to the end, it was like this, and she couldn't bear it if it lasted for so long.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell what she did last night.

On the other hand, Xiao Yunheng smiled openly, covering the place that she had smashed around, looking quite in a good mood.

He leaned over: "I was wrong, I will definitely act more gently in the future, how about it?"

The apology is paid, but there is a smile on his face, no matter how you look at it, he is not sincere.

Lu Xiyue left him angrily: "I don't think so."

"Then how can you relieve your anger, why don't you kiss me back."

He stood where he was, with his arms outstretched, and even his eyes closed, as if letting her handle her.

He directly made Lu Xiyue laugh angrily: "You think beautifully."

Seeing her smile, Xiao Yunheng secretly heaved a sigh of relief: "Is Madam not angry anymore?"

"..."

"Otherwise I won't go out today, and rest at home for a while." Xiao Yunheng walked into her, his arms easily wrapped around her waist.

He also didn't want her appearance to be seen by others.

Lu Xiyue curled her lips: "I couldn't get out at first."

"That's not right."

……

After the early court, the minister of the Ministry of punishment came to the imperial study with the autopsy documents written by Wu.

"I have already found out that Lord Shi's death was indeed as Mrs. Shi said, and it was strange."

Before Dali Siqing hanged himself, he was already unconscious due to suffocation.

Wu Zuo found cotton wool that was hard to detect in his nasal cavity. According to the investigation, it was in the soft pillow in the side room of the study.

Someone stunned Dali Siqing, and then hung him on the beam.

"Can you find out who did it?" Emperor Hui's expression darkened.

Minister of the Ministry of Punishment lowered his head, his tone was ashamed: "I am incompetent, so far I have only found this. I have questioned the people in the entire Shifu, but there is no clue about the assassin."

Emperor Hui flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly: "It's useless!"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, forgive me."

He is not a full-time investigator, this kind of thing should be done by Shuntian Mansion and Dali Temple.

However, Shuntian Fuyin had a serious case at hand, and Dali Siqing was the deceased in this case.

He was originally driven to the shelves.

After a brief silence, Emperor Hui suppressed the anger in his heart: "Forget it, since that's the case, let's close the case as soon as possible, but the real culprit behind the scenes cannot be let go."

The important officials of the imperial court are dead, and the murderer has not been caught for a long time. The people in the capital will think that he is useless as an emperor.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice breathed a sigh of relief.

His Majesty meant to close the case on the surface, but actually searched secretly!
