On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the wind and snow started again, and the whole city was covered in silver.

The charcoal fire in the rouge shop's stove was burning brightly, and the room was as warm as spring.

"Miss, would you like to have breakfast in your room or come down?" It was Ogura who knocked on the door.

"I'll go down and eat."

"Ok."

[From now on, there will be no men in my world. Only money! Money! Money!

Important things should be said three times. 】

Su Liluo swore secretly to herself in the bronze mirror, and the peach wood comb in her hand left a row of shallow marks on her palm.

When she went downstairs, a certain shameless owner of the Situ Building had already dressed up and was sitting at the dining table waiting for her.

Gu Jinyan was standing behind him. His wounds had basically healed, and he looked much better than in the past few days.

"Hey! Why didn't Lord Gu follow your new master back to the palace? You seem to be quite nostalgic!

That’s right, your old master, although he is no longer the emperor... he still has a high status in the martial arts world... you won’t feel wronged if you hang out with him!"

She looked back and forth at Long Yunxuan, who was dressed up by Gu Jinyan and Situ Changfeng, and said something unpleasant.

Embarrassed!

Su Liluo had been holding in the fact that Gu Jinyan defended Long Yunyu in front of her that day for the past few days. When she saw him today, she couldn't help but speak up and criticize him.

Since Long Yunyu left, he followed him and has not appeared in the past three days.

But now he is back again. Humph, it seems that he has been out on business again in the past three days on someone's orders.

"Miss Su...I..."

Gu Jinyan clenched his hands slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said the following words.

"That day, I was not trying to protect the emperor. I just didn't want Miss Su to do something she would regret later in a desperate situation."

If she really killed Long Yunyu, she would surely become a sinner condemned by all officials.

No matter what, Long Yunyu is the current emperor of Dongling and must not be offended.

Moreover, the Liu family will not sit idly by.

Now, she has made Empress Dowager Liu blind, and has offended all members of the Liu family.

If she really killed Long Yunyu, the Liu family would definitely hunt her down to the end.

"Oh? From what you said, you are doing this for my own good?"

"Yes, I am being cautious in order to protect the girl's reputation and safety!"

Gu Jinyan's eyes were bright and dark, and he looked at Su Liluo so seriously, without a trace of hypocrisy in his eyes.

Long Yunxuan: "..." For some reason, he felt a sour feeling in his heart.

How could Gu Jinyan, who is always so strict in his work, treat her like this?

Li Ergou had a look of curiosity, as if he had discovered a new world. His eyes darted back and forth between the three of them, watching the excitement.

Su Liluo's clear eyes, black and white, looked at him. Li Ergou put away his curiosity and quietly picked up the bowl to drink the hot porridge.

Su Liluo treated him like a brother or sister, and eating at the same table with him had long become a habit.

Now that Long Yunxuan is wearing a mask and has changed his identity, Li Ergou is no longer reserved in front of him.

In fact, not only Long Yunxuan was surprised as to why Gu Jinyan's attitude towards Su Liluo had become like this, but she herself was also surprised for a long time.

What did Gu Jinyan eat outside this morning?

His words were as sweet as honey.

Su Liluo is just like this, she responds to soft words but not harsh ones.

After hearing what Gu Jinyan said, she really couldn't continue to make things difficult for him.

"Li Ergou, eat slowly, who's trying to snatch the food from you?"

"Hehe, the girl is teaching me that Ergou should eat slowly..."

"Why, Master Situ, you're not eating, why are you staring at me?"

She couldn't continue to attack Gu Jinyan, but she was very powerful towards Long Yunxuan.

Long Yunxuan did not show any displeasure because of her attitude. Instead, he looked very happy and said with a smile:

"What Luo'er taught me, I'll eat it right away."

other people:"……"

Daqing Hall

"Master Prime Minister, what is the meaning of your action?"

All civil and military officials have arrived in the palace, waiting for the monarch's morning court.

However, after waiting for almost two hours, the new emperor Long Yunyu still did not show up.

Rong Yan was dressed in a dark gold robe, sitting behind a long vermilion lacquered table below the dragon throne, with his eyes lowered, silently reviewing memorials.

"That's right! The Emperor has already returned to the palace for several days. Why hasn't the Prime Minister allowed us to meet His Majesty and make a personal report?"

When the emperor leaves the palace to go to Lingyun Temple, the Prime Minister takes charge of the government. This is the emperor's order and there is nothing wrong with it.

However, he has returned to the palace for several days now. Seeing that Rong Yan is still controlling the government and not allowing the emperor to attend court, all officials are no longer able to bear it.

Especially the Liu family, when they first started working with Rong Yan, they were worried whether they were courting disaster.

However, later on, I thought that no matter how good Rong Yan's martial arts skills were or how much money he had, he was just an orphan and a pretty boy without any military power, and he probably wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

He just wanted fame and wanted to gain the title of Prime Minister in the court.

But now, the Liu family is no longer sure.

They watched with their own eyes as Rong Yan secretly arrested many of their party officials within these three days and quickly convicted and executed them.

He also sidelined several generals who held military power, including General Fan, and trapped them in their respective mansions under the pretext of recuperating from illness.

If the Liu family's military power had not been so easily taken away, they would probably have shared the same fate as those people.

Rong Yan turned a deaf ear to the voices of dissatisfaction and questioning in the hall, and just looked at the memorial in his hand quietly and steadily.

At that time, after he saw Su Li jump off the cliff, he searched for her in vain and thought she had escaped on her own.

Unexpectedly, the people he sent out to look for her later saw her with Situ Changfeng. It turned out that she had run away with another man.

She would rather be so close to the people in the Qianqian Building than stay with him.

When Rong Yan found out, he was so angry that he almost lost control.

Especially after learning that Long Yunyu had secretly returned to the palace a day in advance and went directly to Yuejifang to meet her and Situ Changfeng, Rong Yan almost went berserk.

As soon as Long Yunyu returned to the palace, he ordered the emperor to be placed under house arrest, and continued to control the government on the grounds that the emperor had caught a cold on the way back from Lingyun Temple.

Originally, his original purpose was to take revenge on all members of the Long family.

Rong Yan decided not to hesitate any longer and proceed to the next step.

He used the emperor to control the princes and asked Long Yunyu to issue an imperial decree to redress the injustice of his biological father's family.

He also wants everyone who participated in framing the Fuji family to pay the price they deserve.

These days after taking over the government, Rong Yan has ordered the arrest and prompt punishment of all those who were related to the unjust case that year that he had found out from the old files of the Cabinet and the Case Documents Bureau.

"Master Prime Minister! Did you listen to what I said?"

"This is outrageous! You are a rootless kid with no manners!"

Some old ministers who had long disliked him, relying on their age, began to speak rudely to Rong Yan.

"Shh!"

Rong Yan, who had been keeping his eyes down, suddenly raised his head and looked at them. His eyes were terribly cold, and just staring at people so quietly was enough to make people feel cold in their hearts.
