There was no curfew tonight. The entire Yu City was filled with a joyful atmosphere. It was even better than New Year's Eve.

"The Emperor is wise, King Yu is wise …"

"The Emperor is wise, King Yu is wise …"

Shouts rang out from the front gate of King Yu's Manor and spread throughout Yu City like a wave, enveloping the entire city. No matter whether it was the poor or the rich, they all felt this joy.

This was not only because there was no curfew tonight, but also because King Yu had given them a big red packet at this time of increased joy.

Those heaven-shaking shouts were especially clear in the Prince's Mansion.

Eunuch Li's eyes were half closed, half drunk. He held King Yu's hand, and said with both admiration and envy, "Prince Yu, those sounds are really loud."

Although Yi Xiao Qiao had caused a ruckus earlier, it did not affect their interest. They continued to sing and dance as before, not revealing anything out of the ordinary.

King Yu was already half drunk, but upon hearing these words, his spirit was immediately roused. He realized the true meaning behind his words and smiled. "It was all thanks to Your Majesty's brilliance that we were able to enjoy today's prosperity."

As he spoke, he bent down and knelt on the ground, "This old subject thanks Your Majesty for his grace."

"Aiyo, I was just talking. Why am I kneeling again?" Eunuch Li helped King Yu to his feet. "Forget about it, hurry up and get up. His Majesty has long understood your loyalty. Otherwise, would you be able to bring my daughter into the palace?"

"Yes, yes, yes." King Yu hurriedly smiled and agreed.

"Alright, I'll drink with you today. You can say that I've done my best. Tian'er, it's getting late, so I'll be leaving first." Eunuch Li stood up and left, but he didn't seem drunk at all. He was completely sober, as if nothing had happened.

"Eunuch Li, why are you in such a hurry to go back? Why don't you stay for the night?"

"No need, I still have some chores to take care of, so I'll take my leave first." As he spoke, Eunuch Li had already walked to the door.

King Yu took two steps forward, grabbed his hand, and stuffed an item into it, "I'm sorry for troubling you with this trip, it's such a small and insignificant thing, please accept it with a smile."

Eunuch Li's smile was like a flower. Without even looking at what it was, he stuffed the items into his sleeves and said, "Don't worry. Our daughter will definitely be the right one to enter the palace."

"Sorry for the trouble, Eunuch Li."

King Yu watched him and the guards disappear into the night, his smile slowly disappearing, without a trace of drunkenness. He turned around and walked quickly back home.

Yun Jiao followed King Yu from behind the door. Her face was filled with unhappiness as she muttered, "What our daughter? Who does she think she is? She actually dares to take advantage of me!"

King Yu had already walked into the study. He turned around and glared at her, "Shut up, are you looking to die by saying such words?"

Yun Jiao pouted her red lips. "The emperor and I have long fallen in love. Even without him, I would still …"

"Shut up, how do you think that eunuch knew you were listening to the Wind Hall?"

Yun Jiao pursed her lips, and unwillingly closed her mouth. Even though the mansion was huge, and was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, there was a surging tide under the stagnant water. King Yu was once a general who led many soldiers, but he had countless disciples under his command.

King Yu sat down on his chair and knocked twice on the table. This was to get the guards to pay attention to the situation. Only when two knocks came from outside did he sigh and ask in a low voice, "How is Mu Yi An? Are you done comforting me? "

"Don't worry, that person is just an idiot. Other than knowing how to fight, he doesn't know anything." She snorted with disdain.

"You …" King Yu pointed at her, angry, but didn't know what to say.

You said she was stupid, but she knew it was better to pick up a tall branch and fly, and marry the Emperor than the General.

He was a born militarist, King Yu had instructed him long ago to see through this. Then he really didn't let him down, he joined the army at the age of fourteen, and at the age of twenty, he had already taken the position of general. With the addition of the years of hard work he had gone through, his edge had gradually revealed itself.

"On Mu Yi'an's side, you don't have to be perfunctory. You have to pacify him well, and it's best if he follows your orders."

Yun Jiao frowned, "Father, are you crazy? "I'm about to enter the palace. If you let me and Mu Yi'an become unclear, would the emperor let me go once he finds out?"

"I don't care about that. In short, we can't lose Muyi!" King Yu slammed the table and stood up, without knowing why, he was furious, "You also know that you and Mu Yi An have already been married, why did you snatch your second sister's position? Now that you've done it, you can do it for me.

"I don't like Muyi, I hate him so much now!"

"Even if you hate it, you have to endure it!"

Yun Jiao opened her mouth and only felt a lump of air on her chest. She stomped her feet and said, "You have to comfort yourself. I don't care about him!"

Saying that, he quickly left.

"You …" King Yu let out a long sigh, but there was nothing he could do.

In a corner of Yu City, two men stood upright and were looking at the crowd. The one in the lead wore a gold mask that covered his upper part of his face, revealing only his thin lips. At this moment, his lips were tightly pursed, making it hard to tell if he was happy or angry.

"Mistress?" The person behind him reminded him in a low voice, "It's getting late, shouldn't we go back now?"

The masked man smirked as he pointed to the group of people with his fan and asked, "Are you guys going to thank him, or me?"

The man's expression suddenly became serious as he respectfully said, "I am naturally thanking you."

The masked man tapped his palm with his folding fan and said, "But I think, they are King Xie Yu. If it wasn't for King Yu's banquet, how could they celebrate now?"

His voice was neither sad nor happy, as if he was smiling, but there was something vague flowing within the smile.

The man's expression became even more serious. "First there is the king, then there is an official. His Majesty is wise, only the Qiangguo can prosper, the Qiangguo can prosper, and only the commoners can live and work in peace. This is all thanks to Your Majesty."

The masked man turned his fan and lightly tapped his palm. "Forget it, let's go back."

"Yes." The man led the way first, and the two of them disappeared into the night a moment later without attracting anyone's attention.

A wave of thanks spread through the streets, cutting through the night sky and entering the Mu residence.

Even if Yi Xiaoqiao's face was smashed against the door, she could not stop the sound from reaching her ears. However, what caused her to tremble more than the sound was the sound coming from beside her ear.

"You actually know how to please my mother. You're really scheming!" His lips gently caressed her earlobes. The scorching heat was like flames, and his voice was a little hoarse. There was an indescribable temptation in it.

Yi Xiaoqiao was pressed against the door, her face was pressed against it, and her back was facing him. Her arm was tightly bound by him, and there was no sense of security, not to mention the fact that his breath was on her neck.

Yi Xiaoqiao's heart trembled. With great difficulty, he asked, "Muyi, what are you trying to do? Let me go."

"Yi Xiaoqiao, what are you trying to do? There are so many men in the world, why are you bothering me? As he spoke in her ear, his hot breath fell on her ears and pressed against her skin. The heat spread from her shoulders to her small face.

"Mu Yi An, you misunderstood, I …" Her voice abruptly stopped, and her earlobes quickly heated up, dyeing her entire face red. Her earlobes were too hot, it was so scorching that it seemed like they were going to burn up.

He … He … He was holding her earlobes.

"No, Muyi …"

"Soft." His gentle voice carried an indescribable temptation, as if he was committing a crime. He opened his lips slightly, gently holding onto her earlobe and licking it with the tip of his tongue. It caused her to constantly tremble, and then …

He mercilessly bit down on her earlobe.

"Ah …" Yi Xiaoqiao almost jumped up. Thankfully, she had less nerves in her ears. Otherwise, she would have to shout out into the sky.

"Mu Yi An, you're crazy. This is a human's ear, not a pig's ear!" The pain made people excited, and Yi Xiaoqiao suddenly pushed Muyi away with boundless strength. She covered her ears and looked at him with tears in her eyes, "If you want to eat it, I'll buy it for you tomorrow. Why are you biting me?"

She reached out to touch it. Her hand was covered in blood.

"The taste is not bad." Mu Yi'an licked the blood from the corner of his lips, coldly smiling. Those calm eyes didn't contain even the slightest hint of drunkenness.

Yi Xiaoqiao shivered. "You …" "You pretend to be drunk!"

"Yi Xiaoqiao, I'm only giving you a lesson today. Stay away from me in the future. If you dare be rash again, don't blame me for being ruthless." With that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
