The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

Hua Wu Ke nodded after listening to this. He couldn't figure out the result by thinking this way, so he decided to ask someone involved in the matter.

She hummed and stretched herself.

"I am indeed a little hungry."

She was so serious just now, but she became a little girl again when lunch was mentioned. Ye Buhuo raised his eyebrows:

"You're hungry just by talking about lunch? Are you greedy girl?"

Hua Wu Ke hummed twice at him, and said with some pride:

"When I left the house today, Qiu Shuang told me that she had prepared grilled fish with sweet osmanthus honey for lunch!"

"It doesn't matter if I become a greedy girl just for this grilled fish!"

Hearing this, Ye Buhuo couldn't help but laugh, and a gentle smile slowly filled his eyes.

After lunch, the two came to a relatively secluded courtyard in the City Lord's Mansion - a courtyard specially carved out for Doctor Zhao.

As you step into the courtyard, you can smell the rich aroma of herbs.

Hua Wu Ke stood on the bluestone slab and looked around the yard.

There is a pear tree in the yard, the flowers are snow-white, and under the tree is a stone table, dotted among the green on the ground.

Green can be seen everywhere, in the cracks between stone slabs and in the corners of walls.

Doctor Zhao was not in the yard. Only a little medicine boy was sorting the herbs in a winnowing basket.

Withdrawing her gaze from the distance, she casually glanced at her feet, then glanced at the medicine boy.

Seeing that the medicine boy was not paying attention to her, she guiltily used her foot to push away a small clump of green grass that she had trampled, and then quickly stood in the middle of the stone slab, away from the surrounding green grass.

When she looked up again pretending nothing had happened, she found Ye Buhuo looking at her, with the corners of his lips slightly raised and his eyebrows raised.

It was clearly written in his eyes that I saw everything.

Hua Wu Ke lowered his brows slightly, blinked his big eyes, and looked innocent.

What is the prince saying?

Looking at her round cat-like eyes, Ye Buhuo raised his hand and pinched her cheeks which were slightly puffed up deliberately to pretend innocence.

There are outsiders in the yard!

Hua Wu Ke blushed slightly, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed, and slapped Ye Buhuo's hand away.

He couldn't hold back his strength and made a snapping sound, causing the herbalist who was packing herbs with his back to them to turn around.

When the medicine boy saw Ye Buhuo and the other man enter the yard, he quickly put down what he was holding and came over to greet them. He bowed and saluted and said:

"Your Highness, Third Miss. The Master went out for a picnic the day before yesterday and has not returned yet."

Doctor Zhao is the descendant of a miracle doctor. Although he follows Ye Buhuo, he still often goes out to travel.

Ye Buhuo never restricted him. Anyway, Xuan Tiejun was recuperating well in Anyang City and there was no need for him to be by his side all the time.

Ye Buhuo nodded and said:

"Where is Lou Zhe?"

"After Mr. Lou finished his meal, he has been reading in his room. I will go and invite him down immediately."

The medicine boy turned around and went into the building and went up to the second floor.

Ye Buhuo supported Hua Wuke's back and brought her into the hall on the first floor, where they sat and waited for Lou Zhe.

Ye Buhuo sat in the upper seat, and Hua Wuke was next to him, facing the gate, so he could have a clear view of the situation in the yard.

Smelling the aroma of the medicine, Hua Wu Ke thought of the several herbs that he had accidentally stepped on, and asked with some concern:

"What does Doctor Zhao plant in his yard?"

Ye Buhuo smiled and comforted her, and replied: "These are all seeds that Doctor Zhao casually scattered. They are all common medicinal herbs."

Hua Wu Ke breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

"That's right. If it's a precious medicinal herb, it wouldn't be planted on the roadside. It's so easy to get stepped on."

Ye Buhuo also nodded and said seriously:

"Well, it seems that Doctor Zhao knew that there would be a reckless lady in the City Lord's Mansion, so he didn't dare to plant the treasure in the yard."

Hua Wu Ke glared at him angrily.

"Who was reckless?"

Ye Buhuo crossed his left hand over the table between the two of them and placed it on the back of the chair behind Hua Wuke, and his body leaned towards Hua Wuke.

It looked like he was holding Hua Wu Ke in his arms.

He moved closer to Hua Wu Ke and whispered slowly:

"I say, my Lady of the City Lord, why are you so anxious every year?"

I thought Hua Wu Ke would push him away angrily after hearing this, but I didn't expect Hua Wu Ke to move closer on his own initiative, shortening the distance between them even more.

She tilted her head slightly and rested her cheek on Ye Buhuo's arm.

Staring into Ye Buhuo's eyes, she whispered:

"Who else could the prince's wife be?"

Ye Buhuo raised his eyebrows. The little girl has become successful and has even learned how to flirt back.

Looking at the beloved leaning in my arms, my chest feels warm.

He rubbed his chin on Hua Wu Ke's forehead and said in a hoarse voice:

"Of course it's Sui Sui."

"There will be no one else except Sui Sui."

When Lou Zhe went downstairs, the two of them were already sitting in their seats.

Lou Zhe now knows that the secret actions he and Zong Wu had carried out had been discovered by Ye Buhuo, and he was also "saved" by Ye Buhuo, so when he faced Ye Buhuo, he was trembling with fear but also somewhat convinced.

He walked to the center of the hall, lifted his robe and knelt down.

"The sinner Lou Zhe pays homage to His Majesty..."

As he said this, he looked at Hua Wuke who was standing beside Ye Buhuo.

This woman was dressed richly but her social status was unclear. She had not heard that Ye Buhuo was married but she was sitting next to him.

Lou Zhe was puzzled, but he continued:

"Greetings to the prince... and this girl."

"Lord Lou was also deceived by the traitor and has already been punished. There is no need to do this."

Because of the Fire Lotus Jade Pendant, Ye Buhuo had to stay in Anyang City and failed to go to Yuecheng in time, causing Hua Wuke to be trapped in Yuecheng.

So although Ye Buhuo did not sentence Lou Zhe to death, he also punished Lou Zhe's caravan, and even the Loumeng Kingdom was implicated.

Ye Buhuo gave Lou Zhe a seat, and then asked directly:

"Fire Lotus Jade Pendant, what's going on?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I saw the Fire Lotus Jade Pendant from a book."

Lou Zhe took out a book from his arms, handed it to Ye Buhuo, and explained the origin of the book clearly.

"I have always been interested in books that record treasure hunting stories, and I always go to various study rooms to find books that record real treasures."

One day, Lou Zhe was walking through the streets with his entourage as usual, occasionally looking at the roadside book stalls and wandering into the study.

I flipped through another bookstall and saw that all the books were things that had already spread all over the streets and alleys. They were quite boring.

Lou Zhe sighed and shook his head, then continued walking forward with his hands behind his back.

He looked around and his attention was attracted by a stall guarded by two old men kneeling on the ground.

Lou Zhe walked over and found that there were only four or five things on the stall, including a dagger with many scratches but looked very sharp, an unusual hoe, and two or three things that Lou Zhe could not name.

There was also a crumpled book among them.
