When Ruo Shuiyue and An Yue, who had once again disguised themselves, returned to Shuise Pavilion, they happened to meet the three brothers Xiahou Yexiu walking out with satisfied expressions on their faces.
"How was the fun?" Ruoshuiyue asked calmly with a raised brow.
Nodding, Xiahou Yesiu twitched the corners of his lips and whispered unwillingly. "I have to admit that whether it is fine wine or delicacies, they are all as delicious as those in our palace. Alas!"
"If you think it's good, you can come here often!" Seeing Xiahou Yexiu's expression, Ruoshuiyue couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.
"I still come here often. Do you know how much money we spent today?" Xiahou Boxuan frowned and said in a depressed tone.
"How many?"
Pointing at his fingers, Xiahou Boxuan exclaimed with a distressed look on his face. "It's not six hundred taels, it's a full six thousand taels, six thousand taels! In just one day, a few of us actually spent six thousand taels!"
Seeing the distressed look on Xiahou Boxuan's face, Ruoshuiyue couldn't help but feel funny and said, "It's only six thousand taels, is it worth your look?"
"It's just 6,000 taels! You have to know, 6,000 taels can allow a hundred households to live for several years. And we've only been here for less than a day... ugh! We wouldn't have come if we had known better!"
Thinking of this, Xiahou Boxuan looked regretful.
"That's right..." After hearing what Xiahou Boxuan said, Xiahou Yexiu and Xiahou Yunjie nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Ruo Shuiyue had a wry smile on her face. "Three brothers! Aren't you? Don't you think it's too late to regret it after you have finished playing? Besides, this little money is not worth it to the three of you.
But it’s just a drop in the bucket!”
"That's for the royal families of other countries, but for us..."
Before Xiahou Boxuan finished speaking, Ruoshuiyue's brows could not help but tighten. She leaned closer to them and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean by this? Don't tell me there is some kind of crisis in the treasury?"
"That's not true. It's just that compared to other countries' royal families, we three brothers have gone through hardships, so in terms of money, we are a little..."
"Stingy?" Before Xiahou Boxuan finished speaking, Ruoshuiyue took over.
"That's not called stingy, it's called frugal!" Xiahou Boxuan explained dissatisfiedly.
"Save? Haha! I didn't see that you were a saver when it came to rewarding your concubines!" Ruoshuiyue twitched her lips and glanced at the three brothers' faces with disdain. When she sent someone to monitor them before,
, she really received many reports of them rewarding concubines, including Xiahou Yexiu, who rewarded concubines with jewelry. Isn’t that piece of jewelry priceless? Now it just made her Shuise Chonglou earn a few dollars.
A thousand taels, one or two, actually started to cry for poverty, who would believe it!
Hearing this, the three brothers Xiahou Yexiu squinted their eyes at the same time and stared at Ruoshuiyue beside them.
Seeing this, An Yue on the side couldn't help but smile secretly. The master really knew it, and he actually exposed them mercilessly in front of others.
"What are you looking at? What I'm telling you is the truth, okay!" Ruoshuiyue rolled her eyes at the three brothers and said confidently.
Hearing this, the three Xiahou Yesiu brothers were silent and just looked at the woman in front of them with depressed and helpless expressions.
"What are you still doing? You're not leaving yet? Or do you plan to play for a while longer?" Seeing that the three brothers were still stunned, Ruo Shuiyue urged impatiently after taking the white cup from An Yue's hand.
.
"Hey..." The three Xiahou Yesiu brothers sighed heavily at the same time, and then followed closely.
In the carriage, along the way, Ruo Shuiyue held the white cup in her hand tightly, for fear of accidentally breaking it.
"What are you holding?" Seeing that Ruoshuiyue was very nervous about the thing, Xiahou Boxuan couldn't help but stepped forward and asked.
Shaking her head, Ruoshuiyue lightly opened her lips and said, "It's nothing."
"It's nothing strange, show me quickly, show me..." As he said this, Xiahou Boxuan reached out and snatched the white cup from Ruoshuiyue's hand when she wasn't paying attention.
Seeing this, Ruoshuiyue's face darkened instantly. "Give it back to me..."
At this time, Xiahou Boxuan didn't notice Ruoshuiyue's expression at all. He shook his head and said with a smile. "No, I want to see what good things you have hidden." With that, Xiahou Boxuan was about to open it.
"I told you to give it back to me." Xiahou Boxuan was about to open the white cup in front of him. Ruo Shuiyue had a dark face and roared at him angrily.
The three brothers who looked over after hearing the sound were all shocked by Ruoshuiyue's expression at this moment. They didn't seem to understand, but how could just a small white cup be worth her getting so angry?
Looking at Xiahou Boxuan and then at Ruoshuiyue, Xiahou Yexiu couldn't help but frown. "What's wrong with you? Why are you so angry?"
Hearing this, Ruo Shuiyue just glared at Xiahou Yesiu fiercely, then coldly opened her lips again and said, "Give that thing back to me."
Seeing Ruoshuiyue's expression at this time, Xiahou Boxuan did not dare to tease her anymore, and carefully handed over the white cup in his hand.
Huh... At this moment, the carriage suddenly braked suddenly for some unknown reason. Due to the inertia, the four people in the carriage couldn't help but lean forward sharply.
The sudden movement made Xiahou Boxuan, who was holding the white cup, unable to defend himself. As soon as his hand slipped, the white cup fell directly down.
Ruo Shuiyue was startled, and stretched out her hand to catch it, but was a step too late, and the other hand quickly caught it first.
Seeing this, Ruoshuiyue couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the white cup was not broken.
After looking at Ruoshuiyue, Xiahou Yesiu took the white cup without a moment's hesitation, stretched out his hand and opened the white cup. He wanted to see what it was that was worthy of her treasure.
"You..." Seeing Xiahou Yexiu's movements, Ruo Shuiyue was about to stop him, but the white cup had been completely opened by him.
Suddenly, a strong stench spread throughout the carriage.
After seeing clearly what was in the white cup, not only Xiahou Yexiu, but also Xiahou Yunjie and Xiahou Boxuan looked away with disgust.
Xiahou Yexiu glared at Xiahou Yexiu with an ugly expression. Ruo Shuiyue reached out and snatched the white cup from his hand and covered it.
"What is that thing of yours?" Looking at Ruoshuiyue, Xia Houye asked her with a gloomy face after repairing for a long time.
"Carrion." Ruoshuiyue answered truthfully without hiding anything.
Hearing this, Xiahou Yesiu's brows suddenly frowned tightly. "What? What are you doing with it?"
"Don't worry about it, I'm useful anyway!" Looking at Xiahou Yexiu, Ruoshuiyue suddenly became impatient.
"You..." Xiahou Yesiu wanted to say something more, but at this moment, Xiahou Yunjie on the opposite side quietly kicked him gently, indicating to him not to forget who Ruoshuiyue was! She
There must be her purpose in doing so.
Glancing at Xiahou Yunjie depressedly, Xiahou Yexiu then closed his mouth and looked at Ruoshuiyue thoughtfully. Rotten meat, what did she want to do with such foul-smelling rotten meat? Could it be?
Making poison? Also, she has obviously been in Shuise Chonglou, so who gave her this piece of carrion? Is it someone from Shuise Chonglou? But what is the purpose?
Along the way, no one spoke again until they returned to the palace.
"Wait..." Just when the carriage was about to turn and head towards the direction of Yaochi Shengshi, Ruoshuiyue suddenly stopped.
Hearing this, Xiahou Yesiu didn't speak, but just looked at her with confusion.
Twitching the corners of her mouth, Ruoshuiyue changed her cold expression from the previous moment, and said to Xiahou Yexiu with a smile. "Well, Yexiu, I haven't seen Chuyue for a while, and I miss her very much. So I want to go.
Luanfeng Palace, look at her, I won’t go back to Yaochi Shengshi tonight!”
Upon hearing what she said, the other three people all realized something.
Looking at Ruoshuiyue, Xiahou Yexiu nodded thoughtfully. "Well, it just so happens that I still have a lot of memorials that I haven't approved yet, and I have to go to the Imperial Study Room. You go...I'll pick you up later tomorrow!"
"Well, then I'll get off the carriage here." Chong Xiahou Yexiu smiled sweetly, Ruo Shuiyue got off the carriage with Bai Gu in her arms, and hurriedly ran towards Luanfeng Hall.
Looking at Ruoshuiyue's retreating figure, Xiahou Yexiu asked the two of them solemnly, "What do you think she wanted to do with that piece of carrion?"
Xiahou Yunjie shook his head and sighed softly. "Hey! Who knows? But I should have another answer tomorrow!"
