Xiao Yu looked at Liu Fang with cold eyes and asked, "Commander Liu, is this true?"

Liu Fang threw away his sword, sat down on the ground, and said aggrievedly: "Everyone knows that I came here to sober up. I just wanted to sit on the roof for a while, and this woman came over with a sword! It's really unfair!"

"Liu Fang, you came to my palace without an invitation. You can sober up anywhere, but you chose to go to the inner courtyard, where most of the ladies and nobles in the capital are. If you startle or rape me, I won't be able to explain it! There are also various rare antiques in my palace, and I'm not sure if they are lost!"

Xiao Yu looked at Zhang Zhong and said coldly: "Master Zhang, now that we have caught someone on the scene, open the prison of the Ministry of Justice!"

"Your Highness... this... Commander Liu is..." Zhang Zhong looked at Xiao Yu, then at Liu Fang, feeling torn.

"Tomorrow, if I am sure that the ladies are fine and nothing is missing from the mansion, I will report to my brother and have him released!"

Xiao Yu looked down at Liu Fang who was sitting on the ground with a sharp gaze, with no intention of letting Liu Fang go at all.

If something really happened to any lady or noblewoman tomorrow, he really couldn't take the responsibility.

Zhang Zhong hesitated for a moment and spoke, "Commander Liu, you really shouldn't have done that in front of everyone today. I will help you plead with the prince tomorrow after we make sure everyone and everything is fine. Sorry!"

Liu Fang sneered, "Shut it down! I didn't do anything anyway!"

In a short while, people from the Ministry of Justice took Liu Fang away.

Han Feng stood behind the crowd, watching everything, still feeling a lingering fear.

She raised her eyes inadvertently and met Xiao Yu's sharp gaze.

Although there were some incidents, the birthday party ended smoothly. Before all the guests left, the last part of the event, fireworks, began.

"Bang, bang, bang"

With a few roars, the fireworks rushed into the night sky, bursting into dazzling sparks. The colorful fireworks instantly bloomed in the night sky, scattered into flowers, covering the entire night sky, illuminating most of the night sky of the capital.

Those who were making noise, laughing, or wanting to leave in the yard all stopped and looked up at the night sky.

Everyone stopped to admire the fireworks.

Those in the city who were asleep, those who said they were going to sleep, and those who were still awake all went out when they heard the roar of the fireworks.

Everyone was amazed to see the fireworks light up the dark night like day.

In an instant, the streets of the capital were deserted.

Su Lingyue looked at the gorgeous fireworks and her heart was filled with excitement.

She had seen countless fireworks at various palace banquets and gatherings since she was a child, but she had never been as happy as she was today.

She felt that it was because of Xiao Yu. Beautiful things are meaningful only when they are shared with the one they love.

She raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yu. His smooth jawline, high nose bridge, and jade-like face looked even more handsome under the fireworks. However, he was looking down at the ground with a hint of sadness on his face.

Su Lingyue moved closer to Xiao Yu, and her warm hand found Xiao Yu's slightly cool big hand. She held him and held his fingers tightly.

Xiao Yu turned his head to look at Su Lingyue, who was looking up at the fireworks. Under the flickering fireworks, her bright little face became more attractive, and her bright eyes were full of light.

The soft hand was in his palm, and the warmth passed into Xiao Yu's heart through the palm.

He clenched his palms, looked up and watched this grand birthday banquet with Su Lingyue, the final splendor before it came to an end.

The fireworks lasted for more than half an hour before they stopped. Finally, all the guests said goodbye to Su Lingyue and Xiao Yu and left in an orderly manner.

"Aunt, cousin, thank you for your hard work today. Without you, I would be in a mess today."

Su Lingyue smiled and held the hands of Mrs. Jiang and her cousin's wife to express her gratitude.

"Thank you both for coming to help today." Xiao Yu chuckled and nodded beside Su Lingyue.

"Cousin, what about me!"

Jiang Siqi laughed and joked, "That Mu Lang is not an easy person to deal with. He has been trying to find out about your situation. My brother and I have been racking our brains to think of a way to deal with him."

Su Lingyue smiled and bowed, "Big cousin, second cousin, thank you too."

"Get out of here, you little brat." Mrs. Jiang pulled Jiang Siqi away.

"Yue'er, Your Majesty, we are the ones who should be thanking."

Madam Jiang looked at Su Lingyue, took her hand and stroked it gently, "Aunt knows your good intentions. Given the current situation of our Jiang Mansion, I cannot dine at the same table with the Lady of the Duke of Ying and the Lady of the Imperial Tutor. You made this arrangement to shut up the people and tell them that the Jiang Mansion is not that easy to fall, so that we can experience less rumors. Thank you!"

Su Lingyue chuckled and replied, "Aunt, we are all family, there's no need to be so polite."

Xiao Yu put his arm around Su Lingyue's shoulders and agreed, "Madam Jiang, if you have any problems in the future, just come to the palace to find me and Yue'er. You don't have to worry about Lord Jiang's affairs."

"Okay, we will."

After a few more pleasantries, and seeing off the Jiang family, Yan Qing, who was in charge of setting off the fireworks, came back with a black face, as if he had just come out of a pile of ashes.

Su Lingyue couldn't help laughing out loud, "Yan Qing, was your face hit by fireworks?"

Yan Qing touched his face and said aggrievedly: "Princess, you don't know how big the ash is!" Then he smiled with curved eyebrows, "But I haven't set off so many fireworks in a long time, it's really fun!"

"Thank you for your hard work! Go back and rest early!" Xiao Yu said to Yan Qing and Yun Ting beside him.

They were indeed very tired today, and the two did not refuse.

After letting Li Jing and other guards rest, Xiao Yu took Su Lingyue back to Furong Pavilion.

Before Madam Jiang left, she had the maid clean up the place thoroughly.

Su Lingyue had a foot injury, so Caidie Caiyi helped her wipe her body briefly, and then she lay on the bed waiting for Xiao Yu to come back from a shower.

Perhaps because she was tired, Xiao Yu did not soak in the bath for very long today. When Su Lingyue came back, she was a little drowsy. But when she heard the door open, she regained her spirits.

"My Lord, come up quickly, I have something to give you!"

When Xiao Yu looked up, he saw Su Lingyue smiling with her eyebrows curved and the corners of her lips unconsciously raised.

"it is good."

Xiao Yu responded, took off his coat and cloak, and sat down on the bed.

Su Lingyue took out two purses, one pink and one dark blue, both embroidered with pictures of mandarin ducks playing in the water.

"The boss said this is a gift between couples, so I bought this." She handed the dark blue purse to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu took the purse, and the corners of his lips raised on his jade-like face, "I like it very much. I will carry it with me in the future."

He looked at Su Lingyue, raised his eyebrows and said, "However, it would be better if Yue'er did it herself."

Su Lingyue hugged Xiao Yu's arm and leaned on his shoulder, saying coquettishly, "I really have no talent for needlework and have never succeeded in it. I picked this very carefully!"

Xiao Yu scratched her nose and chuckled, "Just kidding, I really like purses. As long as Yue'er gives it to me, no matter what it is, I like it."

Su Lingyue nodded happily, raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yu, and the moment she met his gaze, she lowered her eyes in panic, her cheeks flushed.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yu asked softly, looking at the purse in his hand.

After hesitating for a long time, Su Lingyue got out of bed, took out a bottle from Xiao Yu's medicine box, and handed it to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu took the bottle and frowned slightly when he saw the words "Yuanfang Dan" on it.

It was given to him by Uncle Lu in the morning.

There is a pill inside, which was made by Doctor Lu after many days of preparation and adding a lot of tonics. Given his physical condition, he can use it once.

But he didn't think of using it, so he just put it in an inconspicuous place in the box. Unexpectedly, she saw it.

"Yue'er..." Xiao Yu raised his eyes and looked at Su Lingyue, and after their eyes met, he immediately looked away.

Su Lingyue got on the bed and sat beside him, resting her head on Xiao Yu's shoulder, her forehead against Xiao Yu's slightly cold neck, her cheeks flushed, and her heart beating fast.

She calmed herself down and said softly, "Will your Majesty take the medicine? I...I can do it."

Xiao Yu's expression could not be seen clearly, but his grip on the medicine bottle tightened a little, and his chest rose and fell.

Looking at Xiao Yu's white knuckles, Su Lingyue gently covered her soft and warm hand.

Xiao Yu's hand trembled for a moment, then returned to normal.

Su Lingyue said nothing, and gently stroked the back of his hand. Xiao Yu's Adam's apple rolled, and he said in a deep voice: "Yue'er, you know my pulse, right?"

"Yeah." She responded softly.

"If it was before, I might have obeyed, but now, no matter what, I can't do that to you, do you understand?"

Xiao Yu's voice was low and restrained. He tried his best to suppress the surging emotions in his heart and closed his eyes in pain.

He knew that Lu Bo didn't want them to have any regrets, but if he did that, what would Yue'er do in the future.

He was both happy and miserable during the past few days. He didn't want Su Lingyue to fall deeper into the trap, but he kept losing his mind when he lay beside her.

Start thinking "Just kiss her and do nothing else."

Later, when Su Lingyue took the initiative to hold his hand, he lost control again, and later he became so obsessed with Su Lingyue.

If he took this medicine, Su Lingyue's pain would increase greatly when he died.

If he only cared about his own mood and ignored the pain Su Lingyue would face, he would definitely not be able to do it.

"Yue'er, I don't plan to use this medicine today, nor will I in the future. I just want you to stay with me for a while longer. I will give you a divorce certificate later, which will state that I have never consummated our marriage, and you can marry again in the future."

His voice was low, and every word seemed to be spoken with all his might.

Xiao Yu's words were like sharp blades, cutting into Su Lingyue's heart.

When she was at Longhua Temple, she suppressed herself from thinking about this matter, as if it would never happen again. But now, when Xiao Yu said it himself, she felt as if her heart was broken.

The fingers on the back of Xiao Yu's hand tightened, then loosened little by little.

As long as she could be with Xiao Yu, as long as she could see him every day, she could pretend that she had not heard these words today.

"Okay, if you don't want to use it, then don't use it. I'll accompany you."

Forever.

Su Lingyue said this, trying her best to make her voice sound calm and without any ripples.

She let go of Xiao Yu, slowly lay down, and shook Xiao Yu's arm, "My lord, go to sleep."

"it is good."

Xiao Yu lay down beside Su Lingyue. Su Lingyue snuggled into his arms as usual. Xiao Yu also hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his body.
