Reject? Emperor Ye Shang's decision surprised the cultivator. It must be known that as long as you are able to offer a bargaining chip, Night Emperor Shang will absolutely not refuse. There was almost no one in the capital who did not know about this. No matter what, it would be fine as long as it was something that could be traded with an official, something as small as an item.

But this time, he actually said he wouldn't trade?

"Night Emperor Shang, you … It can't be that he has fallen for her, right? " The Night Emperor Xiu looked at Night Emperor Shang and his voice became somewhat gloomy, his heart also feeling somewhat guarded. Although he was questioning Night Emperor Shang, he already had an answer in mind. This was because other than liking Wandering Water, there was no other reason that could cause Night Emperor Shang to refuse to trade terms with him.

In these past few years, Night Emperor Shang had always wanted him to be like the others, as if this would give him a sense of accomplishment. And just a moment ago, before he started talking about Shui Long, he was still very curious about what kind of exchange he would like to have. Thinking of this, Emperor Ye Xiu's gaze became serious.

When a person's heart was seen through, what would they do? Some people liked to keep lying and concealing things, using those kind of lies that could only be described as clumsy. They continued struggling and continued deceiving people, trying to make themselves better at lying. This kind of person was stupid. And some people like to respond with silence. This kind of person was smart, but there was also a type of person that would not choose to remain silent or lie.

Emperor Ye Shang looked at the questioning Emperor Ye Xiu and smiled. He gazed at the Night Emperor Shang and teasingly asked, "What if I were to tell you that it is?"

Is that so …? Isn't this it!? The Night Emperor frowned. When he looked back at Night Emperor Shang again, he could no longer see the calmness he had just displayed, only dissatisfaction.

"You should know, right? She's mine. "

"All I know is that you weren't with her. Furthermore, even if they are your people, you still won't be able to protect them right? " The emperor wore an indifferent expression on his face, as if his love for water was very carefree and very natural.

"If you like her, why not let her be with you? You should also have a way to save the people from the Shui Family, right? "

"Because I don't want her to thank me. The Crown Prince was a wise man, but he was confused about this. Women do not fall in love with grateful people, grateful people will only be said to be good people. And I don't want to save a woman who doesn't like me. Even if I like her. Alright, today I am just here to pass on the fact that she is at the crown prince's place. Since the communication has been completed, I will be leaving now. "

With that, Emperor Ye Shang waved his hands and walked out. However, after he left … However, in the place where he had stood a moment ago, the Night Emperor found a brocade sack. Like he dropped it.

He curiously picked up the silk bag from the ground and opened it. However, after opening it, he stopped.

Tonight, in the dog hole in the backyard.

Dog hole? The Night Emperor laughed. When did his backyard have a dog hole? It was all thanks to Emperor Shang that he was able to figure it out. It seemed like his purpose was to get him out, but this person didn't want him to thank him?

The truth was still the same as before. When it came to things that interested him, he would never let others think that he was a good person.

Silently, he kept the embroidered sack. At this moment, the heaviness that he had previously displayed was gone, replaced by a sense of relaxation. Although she was furious about her brother liking her, but … In the royal family, when did they ever have brotherly feelings?

Therefore, to him, the word 'brother' didn't really mean anything to him.

To those who were waiting, time often passed by very slowly. However, to a normal person, time passed by very quickly. When night fell. In the Shui Courtyard.

A man in black landed in the Shui Mansion on time. Inside the courtyard, Shui Ruo was sitting on a chair, looking at the closest water account in her hands.

Seeing someone walk over, she frowned. "Did His Highness ask you to come?" Shui Yuehan asked without even thinking about it. It was time for her to return to the Crown Prince's Palace.

Therefore, the only person who could come here to find her was the Crown Prince. But... However, the man in black did not respond to Shui Ruo's question. He was only looking at Shui Ruo. That familiar gaze of his was now full of scrutiny.

"You seem to be looking forward to see me, the Crown Prince?" The man's voice was cold, with a hint of strangeness and reproach. Shui Long's body trembled when she heard this. The familiarity of this voice made her put down the account book in her hands.

She looked at the man in black in front of her and her heart skipped a beat. She walked forward and slowly took off the cloth covering his face with some tremors. The handsome and elegant face of the man was revealed.

This face was too familiar to her. This was the face of the person she felt the most secure in after coming to this dynasty. He was also the first person to help her when she was helpless.

Even more so … Someone who was married to her.

"Night Emperor." The water was murmuring.

The man's face was attached. When the Night Emperor heard her words, he looked at the water and suddenly grabbed her throat.

"You want to kill me?" His voice was hoarse as he struggled to grab the water in his hand.

Hearing this, Night Emperor Xiu remained unmoved by her bedraggled appearance and continued to increase his strength. He had painstakingly escaped from confinement just to see her. In the end, her first words to him had something to do with the crown prince! How could he not be angry?

"You forgot your promise to me?" The Night Emperor looked at Shui Long and asked coldly.

Shui Long heard this and shook his head.

"You didn't forget? Then why … to see the crown prince. "

"For the Shui family. I could not abandon the Shui Family, but similarly, I did not abandon my promise. If you do not believe me, you can just kill me. " Shui Long was not afraid of being questioned by Ye Xiu. Because she was sure that this person didn't want to kill her. When a person really wanted to kill a person, he would not talk much, nor ask about it.

When he asked, it meant that he just wanted to know the truth and wanted to kill someone.

The carefree nature of her occupation meant that she was well-versed in these matters. It was precisely because of this knowledge that she wasn't afraid. Even if he really wanted to kill her right now, she would only struggle and resist, not … Go for help and fear.

After hearing Shui Long's words, the anger in Night Emperor Xiu's heart completely disappeared. Just as Shui Yuehan had thought, he didn't want to kill her. At the moment, he was just angry.

Seeing Shui Ruo's fearless look, Night Emperor let go of his hand. Looking at Shui Ruo, he said in a low voice, "Do you still remember my agreement with you? instead of liking the crown prince? "

"Of course, why would I like him?" Shui Long looked at Night Emperor Xiu and walked step by step to his side under the gaze of the man. He then embraced him and said, "I have already promised you, so I will definitely wait for you."

The voice of the water was slow and gentle.

Eternal Night Emperor cultivation originally loved to be relaxed in the water. Now that he saw her like this, no matter how heartless he was, he would still let go of his feelings.

Being hugged by someone you love, what a man should do the most, without a doubt, is to respond. This point was no exception for the Night Emperor. He held onto Shui Long slowly and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you. Sorry, I wasn't able to help you save the Shui family. You should be under a lot of pressure, right? "

"It's alright, but how did you get out?" If I remember correctly, you should be in confinement, right? " Shui Sheng gazed at the Night Emperor with curiosity.

Hearing this, a glint flashed across the Emperor Ye Xiu's eyes and his tone became even lower. "This is a long story."

"Then let's cut the long story short." Water continued to ask.

"I made a slight exchange with someone, and then I had the chance to see you. Although it wasn't long, but … There's something I want to say to you. " As the Night Emperor spoke, he once again held onto the water and whispered something into her ear.

Shui You, who had been frowning, lit up when he heard his words. A faint smile blossomed on his lips. This smile was like the blossoming of a pear flower. It was not burning, but it was still memorable enough.

"I understand. Then, you can leave." Shui Ruo pushed aside the Night Emperor's cultivation, turned around, tidied up his clothes, and ignored him. When the Night Emperor saw this, he didn't get angry, but turned and left.

After the Night Emperor left, the people observing him from the shadows became depressed. Although the two of them were hugging each other, they didn't say anything bad to the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince liked Miss Shui so much. Should he say this or should he not? If his highness the Crown Prince was angry because of such a small matter, wouldn't he be in trouble?

Thinking of this, the spy in the dark decided to ignore them!

After the Night Emperor had left, Shui You returned to his seat and looked at the accounts in his hands with a serious expression.

These accounts had all been changed by someone, and none of the accounts matched up. It was obvious that he was making a fortune while it was still difficult for the Shui family to do so. And only the seven clans would have the guts to do so.

With Yun Yang leading the way, the Eastern Courtyard should be much more powerful than before. Otherwise, it would be impossible for it to shake up the other clans. But now, the purpose of these clans united together was to divide up the Shui family.

Right now, the situation was not looking good for the Shui family.

"Sigh …" Shui Long rubbed his glabella and sighed. Then, a man dressed in black descended from the sky. He knelt in front of Shui You and said, "Miss Shui, my prince has requested for you to return to the crown prince's residence."

The black-clothed man knelt on the ground. Although he was respectful, Shui Long couldn't even say a word of rejection. He could only nod and say, "I understand. After I bid farewell to my family, I'll go back."

Shui You's voice was very soft. After he finished speaking, he walked towards the direction of the Shui Clan's Patriarch, Shui Sanjin's study. However, before Shui Ruo could walk over, the man in black had already stopped her.

"Your Highness said, please follow me back immediately." As for the matter of farewell, I will take care of it for you. Please follow me. " The man in black's attitude was respectful, but he had started to urge him.

You don't even allow this? It was really tight. Shui Long looked at the man in black and thought for a while. Finally, he obediently followed him. It was best not to displease the Crown Prince at a time like this. After all, the next problem for the Shui family would depend on the crown prince. Having a falling out with the crown prince would only be bad for the Shui family.

The crown prince's residence was brightly lit.

Normally, the crown prince's residence was controlled by the crown prince's consort, but recently, the crown prince had personally arranged everything. Everyone in the mansion was very strange, but some of them were able to see through what was going on.

Although the Crown Prince had hidden the matter of Shui Yuehan well, it was still impossible for him to hide the truth. The Crown Princess already knew about the appearance of a living man in the Crown Prince's Palace. How could she not know?

When Shui Ruo returned to the crown prince's mansion, he saw the crown prince, Ye Huangyan, waiting for him. When he saw Shui Long obediently follow the people he had sent back, he smiled in satisfaction.

Letting the water flow freely was not his most important goal. What he wanted to know was whether Shui Ruo would listen to him honestly. From the looks of it, she was indeed a smart person. He knew what the Shui Family needed the most right now, and he knew what she had to do.

Everyone liked smart people. On this point, Night Emperor Yan was no exception.
