The winter night breeze was cool and slightly cold, and Chu Mingye's already cold face was even fairer, and he caressed a plum blossom petal in the courtyard with one hand behind his back.

"How's it going?" Chu Mingye's narrow eyes drooped slightly.

"Back to the emperor, eighty percent of the fine iron has arrived in our hands, but-"

Chu Mingye's eyelashes moved slightly, the dark color under his eyes became more intense, and with a "click", the plum branch in his hand was broken, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and his slender white fingers threw the broken branch aside lazily at will.

"Say." Chu Mingye's voice was cold, and he slowly grew long.

Gonggong Li took a step forward and whispered, "According to reports, Zuoqiu Zheyan, a confidant of the King of Chu and a staff officer of the main town in the northwest, has not been at the border for the past two days. ”

"Oh? Zuo-Qiu-Zhe-Yan-is the magic operator known as 'Linglong Zhuge Qiu'? ”

"Back to the emperor, yes."

Chu Ming's eyes were half-narrowed, and her slender fingers wrapped around the green silk hair that fell over her shoulders.

"Looks like they've found something..."

"Your Majesty, we are cautious and cautious in this operation, and there is a combination of inside and outside, even if they are aware of it, they should only be in the stage of suspicion, and they have not found any key details-"

Chu Mingye's five fingers swung back, and Gonggong Li lowered his head and lowered his hands silently.

"Summons the order, suspend all transactions, and hide the collected fine iron in the secret place."

Gonggong Li paused for a moment, his folded hands rubbed and turned white, and the coldness that flashed in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

"Yes—"

After saying that, Gonggong Li gave up his hand and retreated.

In the courtyard of Xiyue Palace, Chu Mingye looked at the plum blossoms in front of him with half open clothes, and the expression in his eyes was complex and deep.

"Princess Chu... Su Mu Ran... Medicine... Beauty... Machiavellian... I didn't expect that because of you, I would let the long-held Tuoba Birch Dust make such a thing, which is really interesting......"

Concubine Xi on the Biyu Pavilion of Xiyue Palace woke up and disappeared from Chu Mingye, who was lying on the bed next to her, slightly suspicious, she got up and simply wrapped a red shawl, opened the door, entered the eaves, and near her was Chu Mingye's dark eyes opposite her.

Nangong Xiyue was slightly startled, but she quickly reflected, she walked quickly to his side with her usual eyes full of adoration and love, her slender white arm wrapped around his arm, raised her head slightly, and her voice was concerned.

"Your Majesty, why did the night get up before dawn and the night in the middle of winter? What should I do if I am still dressed so thinly and frozen? ”

Nangong Xiyue bit her lip lightly, her eyes were shining, she was squeamish, and she looked at Chu Mingye with a slight reproach.

"I see, the emperor deliberately made the concubine feel painful."

After saying that, Nangong Xiyue bowed her head slightly, and lightly tested the tears on her cheeks with one hand.

Chu Mingye put one hand around her waist and put her whole body next to him.

"Hmm... The emperor~" Nangong Xiyue shyly nested in his chest, holding a light hammer in his arms.

Chu Mingye's deep eyes were dark, his eyebrows were raised, he lowered his head and looked at Nangong Xiyue in his arms, and the corners of his mouth raised a touch of banter.

Nangong Xiyue Sometimes I really can't see through whether you really like me, or pretend, if it weren't for the secret guard I buried in the palace that day heard your confession with my virtuous brother, I am still in the dark by you, since you like to act so much, then the widow will accompany you......

With his other hand, he pinched her chin and lifted her face upward, forcing her to make eye contact with her.

"You are my beloved concubine, how can I be willing to make you feel distressed-" Chu Mingye leaned over, her lips brushing across her cheeks and gently falling on her earlobe.

"Your Majesty~" Nangong Xiyue pinched her voice lightly, and lay on Chu Mingye's body softly and weakly.

A trace of disgust flashed in Chu Mingye's eyes, and she let go of the hand pinching her chin and went into her clothes.

"Aifei, you said that I have been living with you for several months, why is there still no movement in your stomach?"

Nangong Xiyue, who was originally affectionate, stiffened slightly when she heard this, but this strangeness only lasted for a second, and the next second, her arms were wrapped around his neck.

Her eyes were shining, the smoke was flowing, her body was delicate, and her voice was soft.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the emperor's heir is based on fate, and when fate arrives, it will naturally come——"

Chu Mingye's eyebrows were slightly raised, and her thin lips were curved, "Oh? What does the concubine mean is that I haven't worked hard enough, and fate hasn't arrived yet? ”

Nangong Xiyue raised her toes, narrowed the distance between the two faces, and sprayed her breath warmly, "Your Majesty—why don't we—let's try again tonight?" ”

Chu Mingye's Adam's apple moved slightly, and the tip of his tongue licked his lips slightly, "Okay-"

He stepped into the house, closed the door, surrounded her, devoured her, she groveled and greeted him, calling him "Emperor", and the red curtain swayed......

In the south of the city, the place of peace, the place directly under the jurisdiction of Chu Mingye, the two figures stood in the treetops, looking at the red lights in the distance, the busy figures, and their eyes deepened.

"This is the place where you said they traded?"

Zuoqiu Tetsuhiko shook the feather fan lightly and nodded slightly, "Well, that's good." ”

A slight coolness swept across Chu Mubai's cheeks, and Chu Mubai glanced at the feather fan in Zuoqiu Zheyan's hand, frowning slightly.

"In the winter, you also want to come with this feather fan, your body is hot, you might as well come back and I will find a good family for you to marry." Chu Mubai's face was serious, and he couldn't tell that he was joking at all.

When Zuoqiu Tetsuhiko heard this, his cheeks instantly turned red, and the feather fan in his hand unconsciously stirred more frequently.

"I'm a man! How can you find a woman to marry like you said? Besides, I'm... I'm not on that side... That aspect of the desire, this is elegance! You know! ”

"I don't understand." Chu Mubai said sincerely word by word.

"Elegance is—"

As soon as Zuoqiu Zheyan spoke, Chu Mubai turned his head directly and said lightly, "I don't want to hear it!" Immediately, Chu Mubai stepped in the air and walked towards the brightly lit place in front of him.

"Hey-" Zuoqiu Zheyan just spoke, and found that his voice was slightly loud, so he hurriedly lowered his voice and followed Chu Mubai's figure, "You listen to me tell you, I don't charge money, I teach for free, don't be shy-"

"If you don't want to die, shut up!"

Chu Mubai's cold voice entered Zuoqiu Zheyan's ears, Zuoqiu Zheyan hurriedly closed his mouth, glanced at the corners of his mouth, his eyes were resentful, and he followed.

Approaching, Chu Mubai paused in a corner of the wall courtyard, carefully observing the surrounding scenes.

The courtyard is dilapidated, the courtyard is overgrown with grass, at a glance, you can know that it is a temporary place to trade, and people began to appear one after another when they walked forward, they were dressed in civilian attire, but their words and deeds were not like anything else......

Chu Mubai just wanted to follow, but Zuoqiu Zheyan behind him suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes and muttered quietly.

"Go this way."
