"Do you have nothing to say? When they forced the queen to death, if only you could show half of the anger you have today. Even if you have the entire empire now, you are just a puppet!" Ming Xixuan's words seemed like
It was like sharp thorns digging into Ming Zhuxuan's heart.
His eyes were twitching wildly, and he resisted the urge to strangle Ming Xixuan to death. He let out a few loud breaths, then shook his broad sleeves fiercely and left the hall bitterly.
Ming Xixuan looked at his leaving figure with a sad smile in his eyes.
…
Ying Zhuyue left Fengshun Gambling House, and shortly after returning to the inn, Ziyuan sent someone to find him. Ming Jili was very powerful in the imperial capital, and it was very easy to find Ying Zhuyue.
"Young Master Ying? The younger one belongs to the fourth master." A man who looked like a young boy said when he saw Ying Zhuyue.
Ying Zhuyue looked him over and asked, "Is Fourth Master looking for me? What's the matter?"
"I don't know the specifics. It seems to be about Mr. Ming." The boy replied.
There was a reply so soon? Ying Zhuyue felt surprised and said to the boy, "I'll clean it up."
There was a carriage parked outside the inn, which was specially used to catch Ying Zhuyue. Ying Zhuyue got on the carriage, and the carriage slowly left.
Ming Jili seemed to have picked the right time and was waiting at the door. When he saw the carriage arriving, he stepped forward to greet it and said with a smile: "Brother Ying is here."
Ying Zhuyue jumped out of the car, saluted Ming Jili, and said, "Brother Ming came to me so quickly. Could it be that he has news about Ming Xixuan?"
Ming Jili led Ying Zhuyue into the inner courtyard, and the servants served tea. "It's actually easy to find Ming Xixuan, but he has a special status. I guess it will be a little difficult for me to meet him."
"Special status?"
"I can't say this clearly. I'll let him tell you himself when the time comes." Ming Jili said, "I will have someone bring the news to him as soon as possible, and he will come to see Mr. Ying by then."
"Brother Lao Ming is here." Ying Zhuyue nodded.
"I called Brother Xian here this time because I actually wanted to ask you how you met him."
Ying Zhuyue had no intention of hiding anything and said: "He saved my life and we have gotten to know each other since then. I hit it off with him. When we were leaving, he handed me the jade plaque and asked me to find him in the capital."
Ming Jili took a sip of tea and said: "Since it is agreed, I will send someone to inform him as soon as possible. When the news comes, I will inform my dear brother as soon as possible."
"Thank you, Brother Ming."
"You're welcome." Ming Jili smiled, "I invite you to come here today for one more thing."
"Brother Ming, please speak."
"In two days, a famous flower party will be held in the imperial capital, and ladies from all over the empire will gather at Liufang Lake. Dear brother, if you have nothing to do, how about watching it with me?"
The so-called Famous Flower Fair, to put it bluntly, is the Oiran Competition. Liufang Lake got its name from this incident. Calculating the time, it will be the time for the Famous Flower Fair in two days.
Upon hearing this, Ying Zhuyue nodded and said: "Brother Ming's invitation, do you dare not to obey? It's just that I have some personal matters these past two days, so I might go later."
Ming Jili chuckled, "It doesn't matter, my dear brother, just come." Then he ordered someone to get a gilded invitation, "If you want to enter the famous flower club, you can't do it without an invitation."
Ying Zhuyue took the invitation, put it in his arms, and said with a smile: "Brother Ming has thought carefully."
Ming Jili originally wanted to stay with Ying Zhuyue and have dinner with her, but Ying Zhuyue refused, and Ming Jili did not force her to leave.
After Ying Zhuyue left, Ming Jili sent someone to the palace.
