She suddenly laughed and said to Liu Yueru, "My lady, don't worry. That's Master Rong. He's here to keep an eye on our No. 1 grain store and prevent others from causing trouble here."

Liu Yueru looked in the direction of the sneaky man and saw Master Rong hiding in the corner with a sneaky look on his face.

She then remembered the warnings Xie Jingrui had given to Master Rong when he came to the No. 1 Grain Shop to cause trouble.

Liu Yueru retracted her gaze and looked at Ye Tao and asked, "Has anyone come to the shop to cause trouble recently?"

Those people knew that this was the grain shop opened by Liu Yueru and Xie Jingrui. The common people were all law-abiding, and the nobles were afraid of Xie Jingrui's power, so no one dared to cause trouble.

Occasionally, people would have small quarrels over queuing issues, but they were all trivial matters. Ye Tao shook her head at Liu Yueru. "Everything is going smoothly. With the reputation of King Jin outside, no one dares to cause trouble here. Don't worry, madam."

"That's good."

After seeing Ye Tao, Liu Yueru went to Yuexinju in Chang'an Lane.

Liu Yueru had the flower garden demolished and leveled.

Xie Jingrui's yard next door has been almost repaired, and now is the time to open a door between the two yards.

When Tang Bo saw Liu Yueru coming, he took her for a walk in the courtyard and finally said to the wall, "The prince asked me to open a door here. What does Miss Liu want?"

"Just do as the prince says." Liu Yueru responded in a gentle voice.

Although Tang Bo had a good impression of Liu Yueru, he heard last time that Xie Jingrui had a big quarrel with the emperor when he asked for marriage.

After thinking for a while, he still spoke to Liu Yueru awkwardly: "Miss Liu, do you know what the prince did the last time he entered the palace?"

Liu Yueru looked at Tang Bo with some doubt and asked puzzledly: "Did something happen?"

Tang Bo sighed, thought for a moment, and then spoke to Liu Yueru seriously, "Miss Liu, the King of Jin treats you sincerely and puts you first in everything he does. In order to bring you closer, the things that the King disdained to do before, he has done for you now. But there are many things to do in this world besides love. The higher the position, the greater the power, but also the greater the responsibility."

"I hope Miss Liu can understand what I said. If Miss Liu really wants the good of the prince, she should stay away from him in the future."

When Tang Bo said this, he felt a little bit reluctant.

But as an old man around Xie Jingrui, he didn't want Xie Jingrui to have a bad relationship with the emperor because of a woman. There is a difference between the monarch and his subjects. After all, the emperor is the most honorable person in Kyoto. Although Xie Jingrui is the most beloved son of Emperor Hexu, he can't tolerate Xie Jingrui constantly challenging his bottom line.

It took Liu Yueru a long time to come back to her senses. Her gaze towards Tang Bo became sharper and she said to him, "Let the prince say these words to me himself."

It's not that Liu Yueru has any opinion on Tang Bo, but it's not easy for her and Xie Jingrui to get to this point. If she retreats at this time and leaves Xie Jingrui alone, she can't do it.

"I don't mean to stop you and the prince, but the prince is very persistent. If the prince insists on proposing marriage at this time, it will only backfire and make the emperor unhappy."

"I just hope that Miss Liu can consider the prince more." Tang Bo looked at Liu Yueru with gentle eyes.

"Uncle Tang, I know you are doing this for the prince's good. Please don't say these things again in the future. I will just pretend that nothing happened this time." Liu Yueru said to Uncle Tang in a decisive manner.

Then, she didn't stay any longer and turned around and left.

Tang Bo looked at Liu Yueru's departing back, sighed softly, and then smiled knowingly.

I walked around the storefront and went back.

When Liu Yueru arrived at the Liu Mansion, Xie Jingrui was already waiting there.

She bowed slightly towards Xie Jingrui, raised her eyes and looked at him and asked, "How is it?"

Xie Jingrui looked at Liu Yueru quietly for a long time before he slowly spoke, "In the future, the Fifth Prince will no longer do anything extreme to Yan Ge'er. He has also received the corresponding punishment for his recklessness and has apologized to Yan Ge'er in the palace."

Liu Yueru nodded slightly. She would only feel relieved as long as she knew that Yan Ge'er would not be treated like this in the palace in the future.

Thinking of what Tang Bo said to her in the new palace today, Liu Yueru looked at Xie Jingrui with complicated eyes.

When she raised her eyes, Liu Yueru's gaze met Xie Jingrui's dark eyes.

But Liu Yueru saw sadness and uneasiness in Xie Jingrui's eyes.

Liu Yueru was stunned for a moment. This was the first time she saw such a look in Xie Jingrui's eyes.

She also noticed that something was wrong with Xie Jingrui, so she took the teapot beside her and replaced a cup of warm tea for Xie Jingrui. She forced a smile on her face and said to Xie Jingrui, "Do you have anything you want to tell me?"

Xie Jingrui took the teacup, took a sip, and said in a low voice, "If I say I want to take you away from Kyoto, are you willing to leave with me?"

Liu Yueru did not hesitate at all and shook her head at Xie Jingrui, "I don't want to."

A look of loss flashed across Xie Jingrui's eyes.

Then, Liu Yueru continued, "Even if we want to leave, we have to wait until Kyoto is at peace and the surrounding states no longer wage war against us."

Xie Jingrui's face was visibly happy.

Liu Yueru's voice continued to ring in my ears; "Brother is still in the border area. I don't know what the current situation is. Has the poison in brother's body been cured? Now the capital is all supported by your reputation. If you leave the capital at this time, those foreigners and people from the northern border who are ready to make a move will become even more unscrupulous."

Xie Jingrui understood what Liu Yueru said, and he handed the jade pendant he was carrying to Liu Yueru.

He looked at Liu Yueru seriously and said, "In the future, no matter what absurd things I do, don't take them seriously. Believe in me and believe in my feelings for you."

As Xie Jingrui spoke, he tightly grasped Liu Yueru's hand along with the jade pendant.

Although Liu Yueru was a little confused, she nodded slightly when she saw Xie Jingrui's urgent urging.

"Are you hiding something from me?" Liu Yueru finally asked doubtfully.

Xie Jingrui's eyes flashed with guilt, but he quickly regained his composure and continued to instruct Liu Yueru, "Remember what I said to you, it's very important."

"Okay." Liu Yueru nodded seriously.

After Xie Jingrui repeatedly told Liu Yueru what he wanted to say, he left the Liu Mansion.

Liu Yueru looked at the abnormal Xie Jingrui and asked Lixia beside her, "Go and find out what happened when the prince came to the palace."
