"Isn't it a bit too shameless to use a weak girl to act like this?" Pei Ruochen looked at Chief You and slandered him, "Besides, since you know He Lan Xue's wisdom, why do you think that he would betray the Imperial Court because of a woman?"

Wasn't he exiled to the north for a woman?" Supervisor You laughed out loud and said, "What's more, that woman is Empress Rong who has already married into a woman. If you are willing to leave for a girl, why can't you return because of a girl?

Pei Ruochen hesitated for a moment before sneering, "How can my beloved compare to Rong Xiu? Rong Xiu is the pearl of the heavens, the goddess that Helan Xue desires. She is nothing more than a concubine who has been abandoned in the palace. As far as I know, there's at least twenty of those princesses who were abandoned like the Carefree Palace. Could it be that you think He Lan Xue can take care of them one by one? "

Supervisor You was startled, as if he didn't expect the difference between the two, but still argued, "Her lover is different."

"What's different?" Pei Ruochen looked at Chief You with ridicule in her eyes, her voice sounded slightly harsh, "What do you think she is doing? Because of her appearance? Chief Eunuch saw this as well. Not only was she not as pretty as Murong Xiu, she couldn't even be compared to an orderly palace maid in the palace. Do you think that the Roaming King, who had seen all of the Duchess of Hundred Blossom, would be fond of such a beauty? In terms of family background, Yi Ren was just an ordinary merchant's daughter. The Heaven's Dynasty's merchants had a lowly status, even worse than the commoners. They had no intentions. In terms of intelligence and strategy, I don't need to elaborate any further on this point. I would like to ask Supervisor You, for this, no, no, it's, my beloved. If you keep it, it's just a waste of food. "

Supervisor You calmly listened, wanting to refute a word or two, but realized that he had nothing to refute.

What Pei Ruochen said was the truth.

"If the one in charge was He Lan Xue, would you defy the world for this kind of woman, or even be so rude as to show off your beauty as the pearl of the heavens?" Pei Ruochen stared at him and continued in an aggressive manner, "To throw everything away for a beautiful woman is to free and easy. To ruin one's own reputation for an unrelated woman, even Chief You would not do it, not to mention King Xiao Yao, who has been known for his wisdom and intelligence since he was young."

Supervisor You seemed to have been understood by Pei Ruochen's debater. He could not help but nod his head and agree, "It is not worth it for a fool like my beloved."

Pei Ruochen heaved a sigh of relief, but suddenly, Manager You raised his head and asked, "Since that's the case, why does Young Master Pei want to risk his life for her? "Could it be that to Young Master Pei, she..."

"That's right. He Lan Xue specially handed her to me for a reason, of course." Pei Ruochen calmly looked at him and said, "Because I like her. Rather than sending her all the way over here, who cannot possibly care about you, I advise Chief You to make a deal with me on the spot. "

Supervisor You looked astonished. After a long while, he finally managed to smile and said, "Young Master Pei has always been a man of few desires. I find it hard to believe that word of yours would come out of my mouth."

He wasn't the only one who found it hard to believe.

His wife, who had been dragged to the back of the hall by the young man's orders, blinked in confusion.

The young man's warm breath landed on her ear. While he was sneering, he said softly, "I really want to see what a trash who could be loved by Pei Ruochen would look like!"

In the hall outside of the screen, Supervisor You had already returned to normal. He continued, "Okay, but I don't know if you have anything I can exchange with her?"

"What you want." Pei Ruochen looked at him leisurely and said, "Weren't you trying to find it by risking your life to break into the inner palace?"

"And the portrait is in your hands?" Chief You's face lit up and he blurted out.

Glimmers danced in Pei Ruochen's eyes before she calmly replied, "Yes. As long as you release your beloved one, I will naturally hand over the portrait to you. "

"Why should I believe you?" Supervisor You couldn't believe how easy it was for them to steal a treasure that they couldn't even steal with their low status. Could it be that with just a few words from Pei Ruochen, the treasure could be formed?

Furthermore, her lover was not a big bargaining chip. If it was Helan, Manager You would take it for granted.

It's just that …

"Young master Pei, this supervisor has something else he doesn't understand," Chief You narrowed his slightly swollen eyes and asked suspiciously, "Since you have made my lover look so terrible, why would you still like her? As far as I know, the Fourth Princess Helian You is also one of the most beautiful women in the entire kingdom.

"If you like her, then so be it. What other reason could there be?" Pei Ruochen's lips curved into a smile. Her beautiful face was like jade, and even Manager You was stunned for a moment as he asked, "Do you want to make this deal or not?"

Before Supervisor You could reply, Hailey felt her neck tighten as the young man dragged her into the hall by the collar.

They stood on the steps, the boy's hand on his lover's neck, and Chief Eunuch took a respectful step back. Together they faced Pei Ruochen, who stood in the middle of the garden with her hands folded.

When Pei Ruochen saw her lover, her expression relaxed slightly. A hint of happiness could be seen in her eyes, but it did not escape the eyes of Chief Eunuch.

Could it be that Young Master Pei really liked this little girl? Chief You thought to himself.

When she first saw Pei Ruochen, she was equally undisguised in her joy. Then, she was a little upset and worried for him.

Her lover did not understand the current situation, but she saw the cold glint of swords, spears, and halberds in the darkness around her.

She knew that Pei Ruochen had come for her.

No matter who he was, what he did in the past, what he said in the past, he was here for her now.

That was enough.

"Back then, although Madam Xi's actions were too extreme, she was extremely talented and resourceful. Who would have thought that her only son would treat an unarmed girl in such a manner?" Pei Ruochen quickly arranged her emotions, and her face showed neither happiness nor sadness, "Liu Yan gongzi, I have already said my piece, if there are no objections, I hope you can let go of the person under your control first. If you hurt her, the transaction will be cancelled immediately. "

Willow. So that youth's name was Liu. The willows hung down the embankment, reflecting the lakeshore.

Her lover murmured the name again, but suddenly retracted the hand that was placed on his neck, causing her to choke. Her round face turned red, and her eyes quickly became watery as she looked pitifully at Pei Ruochen.

"I want to see if you truly like this piece of trash, and are truly willing to hand over the treasure for her." "I've heard that Pei Ruochen has always been a proud son of a noble and powerful family. Aside from kneeling to the heavens and the earth, this knee had never given in. Now, I want you to kneel in front of me, kneel in front of the Liu Family members, and kowtow three times respectfully. "Otherwise …" As he spoke, his hand tightened and tightened. His lover left him with a cough. Before his cough could wash over his throat, his face turned red from the suffocation that followed.

Pei Ruochen did not say anything, and only looked coldly at Liu Yan. The hands on both sides of his body lightly folded into fists, then slowly let go.

That abnormally calm face was slightly pale.

Her lover stood on the stairs, looking down at Pei Ruochen.

Pei Ruochen cast a glance at her, but didn't say anything. She didn't seem to feel any embarrassment nor blame.

However, such a simple glance made her feel as if she couldn't breathe.

He couldn't breathe, not because of the Willow's movements, but because he really couldn't breathe.

Her lover did not have much of a feeling towards kneeling. She was not a man with gold under her knees, but in this era, what did it mean to kneel to an enemy? —

Her lover understood.

She had her own set of standards and principles of behavior, but she also understood other people's standards and principles.

"What is it? So it was just a joke? A hypocrite. " Liu Xin smiled in schadenfreude, while Ka's hand on Yi Ren's neck loosened a lot.

He hadn't intended to hurt his lover.

"I counted one, two, three. "One!" Pei Ruochen remained silent. Other than her face turning slightly pale, her expression became even calmer.

That calmness was like an aura that was emitted from his body. Even Liu Yan could feel it and completely angered Liu Yan.

"Two!"

His wife opened her mouth and was about to say something righteous but when her voice reached her mouth, she was unable to say it.

As if she was one of those female protagonists in the movies, she shouted, "No! Go!"

If he left, he wouldn't be Pei Ruochen.

Her lover was too lazy to do such a silly thing.

In the end, she only calmly looked back at him, her face flushed red, but her gaze was as calm as a pool.

The only thing he could do now was to trust him.

Trust him.

Pei Ruochen seemed to understand her peace of mind. Her lips curved up into a beautiful smile. His face was as fair as jade and as warm as water. Even Supervisor Yu's eyes were dazzled for a moment.

"Three — —" Before Willow could finish her sentence, Pei Ruochen had already put up her clothes. Her gown fluttered loudly, and her forehead was fluttering in the wind. Her eyes shone like jade as she lowered her body.

Kneeling down was originally an ungraceful posture, but it was made by Pei Ruochen with an indescribable elegance and beauty.

Her lover's lips also curled into a smile as he watched Pei Ruochen kowtow as if nothing had happened.

One.

Two.

Three.

It was extremely natural, yet extremely free.

It was as if he wasn't bowing and groveling to an enemy, but was instead singing poetry and playing with his friends.

However, this posture was not something that could be seen.

When he realized that Pei Ruochen was actually kneeling down, he started laughing. He raised his head and started laughing out loud. He was laughing so arrogantly, but when he heard what his lover said, he felt a bit sad and bitter.

The hand placed on her neck didn't have any trace of letting go. Instead, it became tighter and tighter as she laughed.

Everyone present looked at the kneeling Pei Ruochen and the laughing Willow.

"Pei Ruochen, your father killed my mother while he was in the midst of the battle. Today, the three tolls are for your Pei Family to apologize to my Liu Family!" The Willow laughed as he shouted this line of words. His voice was shrill and shrill like a owl during the night.

Her breathing became heavier and heavier as she panted. She thought it was hers, but with a glance, she saw the worried expression on Chief You's face. She then realized it was actually the sound of the willow breathing.

From the sound of it, the Willow's smile had become intermittent, as if it was trying to conceal something.

The hand that was placed on her neck didn't have the strength that she had just used, it was just powerless to hang there.

After being stunned for a few seconds, her lover did something she believed to be very wise.

She spun around, hugging the willow's waist hard, holding him firmly in front of her, then leaned forward, pressing her nose against his and her mouth against his.

— She wanted to hold him.
