The two looked at Li Jiangyan in confusion and asked, "What is a greenhouse?"

Li Jiangyan then realized that he had said the wrong thing, and waved his hand with a smile, saying, "I have seen this kind of thing before, but I have never made it. I will try again another day to see if I can make it."

Liu Yueru was extremely grateful, but she was a little puzzled as to why both Miss Zhu and Li Jiangyan knew the same thing even though they came from different places.

"Mr. Li knows Miss Zhu?" Liu Yueru asked Li Jiangyan.

Li Jiangyan shook his head, and then glanced towards Xie Jingrui for help.

Xie Jingrui realized something and said to Liu Yueru, "Miss Zhu's shop is always able to get in touch with people. Maybe she heard this trick from somewhere."

Liu Yueru's doubts were dispelled.

After eating, Xie Jingrui sent Liu Yueru back.

But on the way back, the carriage seemed to have deliberately taken a different route.

The noisy sound outside made Liu Yueru gently lift the curtain.

The words "Shen Mansion" suddenly appeared before his eyes.

There were many soldiers and officers surrounding the gate of the mansion, and through the main gate one could vaguely see people kneeling on the ground inside.

The carriage passed by the gate of Shen's house. Shen Yizhou raised his head and looked out with sharp eyes.

Meet Liu Yueru's eyes.

Liu Yueru put down the curtain in her hand and asked in confusion, "What has the Shen family done wrong?"

"There is solid evidence of smuggling and selling large amounts of salt, and the house was confiscated." Xie Jingrui explained to you with a cold look.

Liu Yueru thought of the lady kneeling beside Shen Yizhou and asked curiously, "What will happen to those people after their homes are confiscated?"

"Men were exiled, sent to the frontier, or castrated."

"Women were exiled, became slaves, placed under house arrest, became military prostitutes, or concubines. Some with strong tempers would eventually choose to commit suicide."

"Where are they?" Liu Yueru asked.

"Shen Yizhou, I have specifically asked the Emperor for permission to castrate him first and then exile him. The woman should be exiled with him." As Xie Jingrui spoke, he held Liu Yueru in his arms.

There was a hint of shock in Liu Yueru's eyes.

Xie Jingrui noticed that her expression was not right, and his eyes softened. He looked at her and asked, "What's wrong? Is the punishment too severe or too light?"

"It's okay, Your Majesty can arrange this matter." Liu Yueru had a faint smile on her face.

She didn't care how Shen Yizhou was dealt with, as he deserved it.

Just her lady!

"Your Highness, the journey of exile is very difficult, and Shen Yizhou's wife is pregnant..." Liu Yueru hesitated to speak.

Xie Jingrui took her hand, placed it in his palm, rubbed it gently and said, "Mrs. Shen Yizhou knows a lot about him, including that incident. Yue'er, don't worry. They both deserved the same punishment."

Xie Jingrui didn't want to tell Liu Yueru about those things.

But in order to prevent her from thinking too much, he explained in a gentle voice: "Do you still remember those charred children found in Wanfuji Temple?"

Liu Yueru was stunned for a moment, and looked at him with a frown; "What does this have to do with them?"

"Shen Yizhou is apparently the Fourth Prince's man, but in reality he was arranged by the Empress's mother's family. He is equivalent to standing on the side of the Prince's party. The reason why those people from the Northern Frontier can be so powerful in Kyoto is because they have received internal support. That's why they can be so relaxed in Kyoto."

"You mean Shen Yizhou and his men are one of the internal aids of the Northern Frontier people in Kyoto?"

"Not only that, Shen Yizhou's wife is from Northern Xinjiang. She looks gentle and weak, but she is the most dormant poisonous scorpion."

Xie Jingrui lowered his head to meet Liu Yueru's gaze, and then explained, "So you, don't be fooled by other people's appearances, they are just disguises."

Liu Yueru was still a little puzzled. "Since they were colluding with foreign countries, why did they confiscate their property for the crime of smuggling salt?"

Xie Jingrui remained silent, just looking at her meaningfully.

Liu Yueru suddenly thought of something and said, "Your Majesty, you are fishing. Do you want to use them to catch the big fish behind you?"

"My Yue'er is still smart." Xie Jingrui's smile deepened a little.

"But Your Majesty, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to tell me this? What if I let it slip and ruin your plan?"

Xie Jingrui stretched out his index finger and gently scratched her nose, his eyes full of pampering; "If so, I will give you my life, you can do whatever you want."

"That's not necessary. What do I want your life for?" Liu Yueru pushed him away with a smile.

Xie Jingrui hugged her tightly, but his eyes changed when he looked at Liu Yueru, and his voice became low and hoarse; "You don't have to do anything, you've already cost me half my life!"

Liu Yueru was pushed against the carriage, and her breathing stagnated as she met Xie Jingrui's burning gaze.

The next second, Xie Jingrui's kiss came down violently, with a frenzy and a restrained brutality!

Liu Yueru let out a slight moan from her mouth.

Xie Jingrui stopped and stared at her with burning eyes. He felt a little guilty when he saw the person in his arms had his clothes messed up.

There was a hint of grievance in his words: "Yue'er, I couldn't help it!"

Liu Yueru felt both embarrassed and amused. When she saw his expression, she burst out laughing.

"Your Highness, when have you ever held back?" Liu Yueru thought and said it out loud.

The words fell.

Only then did Liu Yueru realize that something was wrong, and her face turned redder.

The drooping eyelashes trembled.

This made Xie Jingrui want to kiss her again.

But Xie Jingrui looked outside and saw that they were about to arrive at Liu Mansion, so he forced himself to suppress the urge.

Tidy up Liu Yueru's clothes.

Xie Jingrui sent her to the gate of the mansion and wanted to follow her into Liu Mansion.

But Liu Yueru stopped him, "Your Highness, my father and brothers should have gone to bed, you should go back early and come back when you have time."

"You're free now, and you're free all night long!" Xie Jingrui leaned over and whispered in her ear.

Liu Yueru blushed and glared at him; "Your Majesty!"

Xie Jingrui then straightened up and said seriously, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. You go in first and I'll leave later."

Liu Yueru thought of something, took off her cloak and handed it to Xie Jingrui.

“Help me put it on!” Xie Jingrui knelt down.

Liu Yueru stood on tiptoe, put the cloak on Xie Jingrui, and tied it for him carefully; "Okay."

Xie Jingrui narrowed his eyes, staring at Liu Yueru's red lips, and was about to kiss her.

Mother Yan lit a lamp and came quickly to Liu Yueru's side with a cloak in her hand. She called out in a gentle voice, "Madam."

Xie Jingrui took the cloak from Yan's mother's hands, tied it for Liu Yueru, and then reluctantly let Liu Yueru go back.

"Go back." After Liu Yueru followed Mother Yan into the Liu Mansion, she waved to Xie Jingrui, and the servants then closed the door.

Liu Yueru tidied herself up and went to sleep, but all she could think about were the words Xie Jingrui had just said...

She raised her hand and touched her hot cheek, and suddenly a faint sound was heard in the room!

Liu Yueru's hand subconsciously reached for the dagger under the pillow!
