As if to comply with what she had just said, the moment Luo Yi finished speaking, a cold wind blew in, bringing a few snowflakes with it. The snowflakes landed on their faces and caused goose bumps to rise all over their bodies.

A new customer came in, shaking the snow from his shoulders and muttering to himself about the sudden snow.

Embarrassed, she took a peek around and noticed that the people who came and went didn't look in their direction. Only then did she relax, pretending as if nothing had happened, and withdraw her hand.

Then he was stared at again.

He chuckled, turned his head to the right when he looked down, and his gaze naturally fell on the other person.

As if he did not expect there to be someone else, Yi Qiannan's eyes widened when he saw that person's face, and squeezed Luo Yi out while saying "How are you free today".

Caught off guard, Luo Yi was almost pushed down to the ground. Luckily, Tang Yuan was behind her back and held her arm in time, and even patted her back a few times to comfort her.

Luo Yi smiled up at him.

Although Yi Qiannan's actions didn't look friendly, they were completely out of the two's sight. His flawless words made it so that people couldn't even wait for an opportunity to look for trouble.

The man smiled and pretended not to see through his inner thoughts. His tone didn't change much as he nodded in return and said, "Boss Yi, you're too courteous."

"What are you talking about?" A waiter happened to be passing by, so Yi Qiannan stopped him. He instructed him to bring a pot of the best tea in the building to the guest before continuing, "We didn't manage to make you stand here for so long …"

As he spoke, he turned the man around and asked, "The room is being cleaned every day as per your orders, do you want me to bring you up there?"

"Then I'll be troubling you." The man did not refuse and extended his hand in a "please" gesture.

To be honest, the Li City was a big place, and there were many rich and powerful families here. The guests that came to and fro in the rich and powerful building like him were all ordinary people, but to be personally entertained by his boss, it was really just this one.

Yi Qiannan took a sip of his tea. "How did you provoke him?"

He had just come out of that man's room, thinking that he had done something great. As soon as he swallowed the tea, he looked up at Tang Yuan with a pleading look for praise.

Tang Yuan tilted his head as if he did not see it, causing Luo Yi to learn how to dress herself and turn blind.

"How was it provoked by me …" She felt wronged, "He clearly posted it himself."

"But who is this person?"

Luo Yi originally had a very familiar feeling towards that person, but after hearing what he said, her curiosity was even more, so he shook his arm and urged him to continue.

Yi Qiannan had originally been unwilling to speak of this because he felt it was a guest's privacy. Who would have thought that Tang Yuan would also reveal a curious expression to him? His heartstrings vibrated and he immediately ripped apart his moral integrity, "This person came to visit you in the palace."

He unconsciously lowered his voice. Before he spoke, he carefully looked around to make sure that there was no one else around. "It's His Majesty's red person."

"Your Majesty?" Luo Yi was startled, and quickly realised that the person who the other party mentioned was the same person she had met before, so she asked: "Didn't you say to represent the imperial court?"

"It doesn't make a difference anyway."

Yi Qiannan waved his hand, indicating that she was in deep water. "I'm just trying to gain a good reputation."

"No," he said.

The empress of the palace had a strong body while the crown prince was in good health. Chen Jinyan could only use the title of "acting as the ruler of the imperial court" to coax the citizens, but in reality, the royal authority was all in the prince's hands. Many of the commoners and officials had also gradually changed their name to "Your Majesty".

He had now completed more than half of the last step.

Yi Qiannan lowered his voice and returned the question to the person before him: "He is called Mu Yizhou, because he does not have a position in the imperial court, there are not many people who know of him, his family does not have any background, he is just an ordinary merchant, but …"

Yi Qiannan tried to keep them in suspense. "He's the head of His Majesty's think tank."

It was said that before Thirteenth Prince had even entered the palace, he had been accompanied by a group of brains that specialized in managing various matters within the feudal fiefdom. This think tank had a total of ten people, all of them had the skills to rule the country, and one of them was a man surnamed Mu, who was considered the most important by Chen Jinyan.

However, this person did not show his true face. It was said that because of the injuries on his face and his terrifying appearance, he would enter and leave the palace wearing a silver mask that covered half of his face. Thus, there were very few people in this world who had seen his face and connected it with their identity as the leader of a "think tank".

"Then how do you know his identity?"

"He came here with His Majesty the first time."

Yi Qiannan roughly recalled the time. "Two months ago, His Majesty sent a decree to the palace on a whim, saying that he wanted to come and take a look at the place that was rumored to be occupied by nobles. He scared me so much that I choked in my throat and almost lost control."

It was late in the night when they had arrived, and there were not many accompanying them. Other than Mu Yizhou, there was only one other eunuch who had delivered the message to them earlier.

Yi Qiannan was kneeling on the ground, looking at his surroundings. He didn't utter a single word other than a salute.

Chen Jinyan slowly walked in, his gaze sweeping around the empty great hall, and praised: "You're pretty smart."

He took two steps forward and waved his hand, signaling the eunuch to help Yi Qiannan up. "Stand up."

Yi Qiannan used the momentum to get up.

The rest of the people in the building had long since been sent out for various reasons, thus the service naturally fell on his head. Yi Qiannan refilled the teacups of the two men in front of him and retreated three steps back, waiting to hear what the monarch of the nation had come to see him in the dead of the night.

"There's nothing else …" Chen Jinyan shook the teacup in his hand and laughed: "No matter what, this is a name personally bestowed by this king.

As he spoke, he nudged the person beside him with his shoulder and said intimately, "Am I right?"

Mu Yizhou bowed and replied respectfully, "Yes."

In this world, there were only nine or five people who could sit together with him. Yi Qiannan was very curious, so he quietly raised his head to look at that person, but who would have thought that this person would so casually look at him? He was startled, and just as he was about to admit his mistake, that person casually turned his gaze back, as if he didn't see his disrespectful behavior.

Yi Qiannan was stunned.

That night, they did not stay long and only drank a cup of tea before leaving. Yi Qiannan did not yet understand the reason why Chen Jinyan came this time, when he heard a servant reporting that a man with a scar on his face had appeared at the door.

This man had no official position in the court, no gold coins in the house, and no keepsake to prove his identity. However, his temperament was extraordinary, so the servant at the door did not dare to let him in easily, nor did he dare to offend him.

When Yi Qiannan heard the words "there's a scar on his face", he immediately thought of that man from the previous night and rushed over without even finishing his sentence. As expected, he saw Mu Yizhou calmly standing outside the door.

Perhaps because he heard the sound of footsteps, Mu Yizhou raised his head from his thoughts, and upon seeing the person who walked over, he only nodded slightly as a greeting, without the slightest bit of displeasure from the offense on his face.

Yi Qiannan hastily welcomed him in. Before he entered, he didn't forget to secretly kick the attendant who was guarding the door, and at the same time instructed in a low voice, "You must remember this person. If you see him again, bring him directly to the best room on the third floor."

"Yes." The two men guarding the door said with fear and trepidation.

At that time, Yi Qiannan did not understand why Mu Yizhou was here. When he stood on the third floor and saw the nobles coming and going in the middle of the hall, he suddenly realized that the enemy was in the light and that His Majesty was really good at this.

He raised his eyebrows and smiled for a moment. When he turned around, he saw the lord, who he had befriended previously, waving at him from afar. He smiled widely, walked up quickly and put his hand on that person's shoulder, smiling, "You haven't been here for a few days, right?"

"Yeah!" The person was also upset. He pinched the center of his brows and casually spat at Yi Qiannan, "There's been too many facts happening in the court lately …"

When Lin Ting came to pick Luo Yi up, the outline of the moon was already faintly discernible in the sky.

The snow had not stopped, but it was much lighter than it had been in the afternoon. Previously, Lin Ting and Xu Shilian had been to the Wealthy Class building, so the servant recognized him. Therefore, he did not waste any effort and asked where Luo Yi was now.

In the room, Luo Yi was eating her meal intently. She had just put down her chopsticks when Tang Yuan, who did not even have the time to take a breath, handed her a bowl of medicine: "There's still this."

After days of being forced to drink the medicine, Luo Yi had already resigned to her fate, and did not even have time to struggle, as she took the medicine bowl and poured it into her mouth.

Its movements were like flowing water, and its aura was as if it could swallow mountains and rivers.

Yi Qiannan sighed as he clapped. When Luo Yi placed the empty bowl on the table with a "clang", he couldn't help but stick his head out to take a look: "What kind of medicine is this? "Are you sick?"

"Nope." Luo Yi replied as she wiped the leftover medicinal dregs from the corner of her mouth.

"Then why did you drink the medicine?"

Yi Qiannan was straightforward, Tang Yuan was not able to stop him and when he heard him ask this question, before he could even think of an answer, Luo Yi had already opened his mouth and said, "If there's a cure, then he's not."

"He told me." Luo Yi raised his chin and pointed to the direction of Tang Yuan.

"So you drank this medicine to protect yourself?" Yi Qiannan reacted quickly. The next second, he turned to look at Tang Yuan pitifully as he muttered to himself, "Then why didn't I?"

"…"

"I want to drink the medicine too!"

"Stop messing around!" When Tang Yuan saw this person, he felt a headache coming on. After he pointed at this person's head with one hand and pushed him away from himself, before he could even speak, Lin Ting's voice came from outside the door, "Luo Yi."

"Hmm?" Luo Yi quickly got up from the chair: "Are you done? Have you eaten? "

She walked up to Lin Ting and pulled him into the seating area. Unexpectedly, the other party shook his head and pulled her back, "I've already eaten. I came to take you home. "

"Oh." Luo Yi didn't suspect anything. Hearing his words, she obediently stopped what she was doing just now, raised her lips, and waved at Yi Qiannan. "Goodbye."

Tang Yuan originally wanted to follow them, but when he just got off the stool, he was pressed back down by Yi Qiannan, "You can't go! You haven't made me any medicine! "

"…"

Do you really think you can take this medicine as you like?!

He helplessly rolled his eyes, but in his heart he knew that this was most likely an excuse Yi Qiannan had come up with to keep him here. Just as he was about to refuse, he saw Yi Qiannan suddenly release the hand that was on his shoulder, and slowly sit on the ground while clutching his stomach. My stomach... "I'm afraid I'm going to die from the pain …"

"..." Forget it, "Tang Yuan finally had nothing to say. As he thought about how this person's shameless methods had not changed at all, he rubbed his temples in the direction of Luo Yi," You guys can leave first.

His tone was full of helplessness, but there was no hint of impatience on his face.

Luo Yi raised her eyebrows, sensing that Lin Ting still had something else he wanted to say, so he spoke before him: "Alright, then we'll be leaving first. Be careful by yourself when you go back tomorrow."

"It's not up to you to worry about it!"

Yi Qiannan, who had been sitting on the floor half dead a second ago, jumped up like a carp the moment he heard Tang Yuan's words. He then pulled him behind him and said, "I'll take good care of him."

"Let's go."

Finally, even Lin Ting could not bear to continue watching, and could not bear to watch.

Luo Yi turned around and made a face at the two of them, then jogged to catch up to Lin Ting who had already left.

As she was about to leave, she suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the third floor.

In truth, she couldn't even clearly see who was standing on the third floor from such a distance. But strangely, she just felt that Mu Yizhou must be standing there, and …

Looking at her.
