After a while, Qu Xiaoyou broke the silence, "Mu Tou, this place is a long way from Jingyuan Temple outside the city. Are you going to walk back?"

Zenmu replied, "My junior brother will meet us outside the city with a carriage."

"Oh." Qu Xiaoyou was slightly disappointed, patted his sturdy back and said sadly, "Walk slower."

"Why?" Zenmu didn't understand.

Qu Xiaoyou sighed, and said on his back, "It's rare to be alone with you in such a quiet time. I don't want it to end so soon."

Zenmu was stunned, his eyes a little flustered. Instead of slowing down, he quickened his pace, as if he couldn't wait to end this embarrassing atmosphere.

It's the middle of the night, and we're alone, so it's better for us to go home early.

"..." Qu Xiaoyou was sweating, and asked with a smile, "Do you and the stinky monk understand what I'm saying? I told you to walk slower, but why did you run?"

Zenmu ignored him and quickened his pace to trot towards the city gate. He prayed in his heart that he would see his junior fellow apprentice soon, as he really didn't want to be alone with this female donor.

Qu Xiaoyou narrowed her eyes, put her arms around his neck and moved upwards, resting her chin on his shoulder, tilting her head, and gently pressed her red lips against his resolute face.

"Buzz!" Zenmu's head buzzed, his steps stopped instantly, his eyes widened, and his whole body seemed to be petrified.

He felt a warm and soft touch on his face that he had never felt before. It made his handsome face turn red and his ears seemed to be bleeding.

Qu Xiaoyou smiled triumphantly and whispered seductively in his ear: "Little monk, are you willing to stop now, huh?"

Zenmu shuddered all over, as if frightened, and threw her to the ground. He took two steps back to distance himself from her, closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and moved his lips quickly, as if he was muttering something.

Qu Xiaoyou stared at his constantly opening and closing mouth, and after a moment, a meaningful arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She has a little-known talent: she can tell what a person is saying by the shape of his mouth, without having to listen to the sound.

The wood in front of him was chanting: "All living things are troubled, and all troubles are painful. All troubles are neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor clean, neither increasing nor decreasing. The visible is born from the invisible, the non-existent can give rise to the visible, and the visible returns to the non-existent."

This is the meditation mantra!

This piece of wood actually chanted a meditation mantra, why?

Is it...

Is he upset?

Realizing this, Qu Xiaoyou was secretly delighted, but she didn't expose him and just watched him quietly.

This Mu Mu is indeed the man she likes, with strong features, thick eyebrows, big eyes, wheat-colored skin, full of male hormones, 185 cm tall, and an extremely strong body, like a perfect sculpture.

As if he noticed her undisguised gaze, Zenmu's eyelids tightened again, he recited the meditation mantra faster, and a few beads of sweat seeped out of his forehead.

I don't know how long it took, but he seemed to finally calm down. He exhaled deeply, put down his clasped hands, ignored Qu Xiaoyou, and turned away.

"Hey? Mu Tou!" Qu Xiaoyou cried out and hurriedly chased after him.

"Why didn't you wait for me, Mu Tou? Are you angry?"

Chanmu didn't even look at her. He walked quickly and said with a dark face, "I am a monk. I hope you will respect yourself and don't let me down in front of the Buddha."

"Hehe..." Qu Xiaoyou giggled and followed him in a good mood.

Tao Fengzheng's capture became the most powerful evidence of the unjust case that year. The next morning, Lu Shi'an issued an imperial edict to the world, informing the ministers and the people of what Ye Baijiang and Tao Fengzheng had done, in order to clear Su Boyuan's family of the grievances and restore justice.

Just as he promised, to express his apology, he disregarded the emperor's majesty and personally led all the civil and military officials in the court to pay tribute to the Su family, repair the tomb and build a ancestral hall for Su Boyuan's family.

As soon as this news came out, it caused an uproar in Lingjiang State.

The people were in an uproar. While they felt sorry for Su Boyuan's family and cursed Ye Baijiang, they also sincerely admired the young emperor's mind and magnanimity.

As for Tao Fengzheng, Su Yu was the one who decided to deal with him. It was said that he was executed by slow slicing, and he was cut by thousands of knives before he could no longer bear it and bit his tongue and died.

In the early morning after the rain, the dark clouds dispersed, the dawn light shone on the earth, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants, which was comfortable and beautiful.

In the back garden of the Yu Nan Palace, Lu Xiuyuan sat upright on a stone bench, his back straight, his eyes fixed on the busy woman in front of him, beads of cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

"Husband~" Xia Younan called out tenderly, holding a teacup in both hands and passing it to him, saying respectfully, "Husband, drink tea. This is the tea that your wife made for you personally."

"Uh... okay." Lu Xiuyuan stretched out his slightly trembling hand to take the teacup, put it to his mouth and took a sip.

"Come, husband, have some snack." Xia Younan picked up a piece of mung bean cake and fed it to his lips with a smile.

Lu Xiuyuan took a light bite and sweated even more. "It's... delicious. Thank you, my lady."

"Husband, you must be tired after the morning court session. Let me massage your shoulders." After saying this, Xia Younan came behind him and stretched out her hands to gently massage his shoulders without saying a word.

Lu Xiuyuan's heart was pounding. He was silent for two seconds. He couldn't help it anymore and asked with tears in his eyes: "My wife, did I make you angry in some way? Can you please tell me directly? I'm afraid of you."

It was so scary. His little woman was so abnormal today. As soon as she saw him, she served him tea and water, and even gave him a massage. She was so gentle and virtuous that it was totally unlike her.

Something must be wrong when things are abnormal. He was worried. He always felt his skin tightening, as if he was about to be beaten.

But, he was racking his brains, and couldn't remember what he had done to make the little woman angry recently.

Xia Younan smiled flatteringly, patting his back and said in a tender voice: "What are you talking about, my husband? You are my husband, how could you be wrong? If there is any fault, it is my fault."

Lu Xiuyuan's hair stood on end. He swallowed his saliva, turned his head to look at her fearfully, and said slowly, "Did I breathe too much air today? How about... I hold it in for a while?"

"..."Xia Younan's face was full of black lines.

Is it really that serious? Is she so fierce and unreasonable? She finally showed kindness to him once, why is he still so scared?

Forget it, let’s just say it straight. This man is timid, don’t let her scare him into anything bad again.

"Husband~" She sat sideways on his lap, hugged his neck, and smiled like a flower.

Lu Xiuyuan looked down at her, pursed his lips in confusion, gritted his teeth, and said with tears in his eyes: "If it really doesn't work, just beat me up."

Xia Younan slapped him in the face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said angrily, "Are you sick? Why do you want me to beat you up for no reason? I just want to ask you for something."

Do you want to ask for something? Lu Xiuyuan suddenly realized what was going on and he let out a long breath, finally letting go of his worries.

His thin lips kissed her forehead heavily, and he hugged her with a sense of relief and said, "We are husband and wife, my lady, if you have anything to say, just tell me, you don't have to try to please me."

Really, it turned out to be a false alarm.
