The entire Nalan Empire's imperial palace was covered in white. The palace maids and guards who were hurrying to and fro wore a blue flower of the ocean on their arm to commemorate the passing of Nalan Wuji. At this time, Longyi discovered that other than the Nalan Empire's imperial palace, Blue Moon City and the rest of the Nalan Empire were not covered in white. Logically speaking, the death of an emperor should be a national mourning. However, he quickly understood what was going on. Nalan Wuji's death was similar to the backlash of cultivating dark power. It was said that it was a punishment from the Light God. Naturally, it couldn't be considered a national mourning.
This was quite ironic. At that time, when Longyi and Nalan Ruyue were in the imperial palace, Light Pope Charles came to bless them. There was no need to mention Nalan Wuji's complacency. But now, Charles ordered the Holy Law Enforcement Team of the Church of Light to investigate. This investigation was just a formality. In any case, in the end, Nalan Wuji would be labeled as a dark demon.
At this moment, Nalan Ruyue was leaning on Longyi's body as if she had lost her soul. She had a lifeless expression on her face. When she returned to the imperial palace, everything had changed. She now understood that although Nalan Wuji wasn't a competent father, he was a good emperor. He was the pillar of the Nalan Empire. Now that this pillar had fallen, the empire had fallen into chaos.
Longyi sighed softly. He hugged Nalan Ruyue's waist and rushed towards her temporary imperial residence like a ghost.
In the sleeping quarters of Nalan Ruyue and Nalan Wushuang, there were only a few palace maids bustling about. What surprised Long Yi was that he couldn't see a single guard outside the sleeping quarters. Presumably, all of them had been transferred away by Nalan Wen and Nalan Wu, these two trash brothers.
After entering Nalan Ruyue's chamber, everything remained the same. It was elegant and warm. The sound of waves came one after another. The curtains on the balcony swayed along with the salty sea breeze. Longyi couldn't help but recall everything he had experienced in this place.
"Big sister, brother-in-law." At this moment, a familiar voice filled with grievance and surprise resounded from the doorway. Nalan Rumeng's petite body appeared in front of Longyi. Her milk-colored long hair was draped over her shoulders. She looked haggard and her beautiful eyes were filled with tears.
"Rumeng … …" Nalan Ruyue's soul returned to her body. Sobbing, she rushed over and the two sisters hugged each other tightly, crying loudly.
Long Yi felt sour. In this world, the most important thing would always be kinship. The two sisters had lost their mother when they were young. Now that even his father had passed away, that kind of lonely and bitter feeling must be very uncomfortable.
Longyi was also an orphan in his previous life. However, he had never seen his parents since he could remember, so he didn't know the pain of losing them after having them. He walked forward and embraced the two beauties, one big and one small, who were crying their eyes out, into his arms.
That warm embrace made the two sisters feel as if they had found someone to rely on. She clutched his clothes tightly to comfort him.
Perhaps it was because he was tired from crying, or perhaps he had been suffering for the past few days. After venting the sadness in their hearts, the two poor princesses fell into a deep sleep in Longyi's arms.
Longyi and the others carried him to the bed. With a tap of his finger, he made the two little pitiful girls sleep even more soundly. Then, he left the bedroom.
…
Longyi crossed his legs and sipped a mouthful of tea. He looked at the young man on the other side of the bed with a playful expression. This man could be considered handsome. However, his eyes weren't focused and there was a dense and nefarious aura between his brows. He was the eldest prince of the Nalan Empire, Nalan Wen.
"Brother-in-law, you came back at the right time. You can also be considered a member of my Nalan Empire's imperial family. Now, my father has gone astray and brought about his own destruction. According to the law, the throne of the empire should belong to this prince. However, my second brother actually disregarded our brotherhood and wanted to fight for it. Brother-in-law, you must help me. " Nalan Wen had a sincere look on his face. At this moment, he was thirsty for talent. No matter what, he had to fight for the throne.
Longyi faintly smiled and said, "Of course. You are my brother-in-law. If I don't help you, who else should I help? Other than you, no one else has the qualifications to sit on the throne."
"That's good. Very good. Tonight, I will hold a wine party in the temporary imperial residence. At that time, I will introduce some people to you. "Nalan Wen looked delighted.
Long Yi agreed and a trace of strange light flashed in his black eyes. He recalled that just when he walked out of Nalan Ruyue's sleeping quarters, the eldest prince, Nalan Wen, rushed over with a group of people and invited him to his temporary imperial residence to drink some tea. From this, it could be seen that the guards on the city walls were most likely under his control.
Longyi's thoughts were very simple. Since Nalan Wen wanted him to help deal with Nalan Wu, why not? He could also take advantage of this opportunity to find out who the expert behind Nalan Wen was.
Longyi didn't stay for long. There was still some time before night fell. He planned to stroll around the city. Perhaps, he might find something else.
In fact, Longyi had thought of going to the sea to look for the mermaid Liu Li. However, he didn't have enough time. He could only postpone this for the time being.
Longyi left the imperial palace and strolled around the streets of this ocean-blue city. This originally bustling ocean city seemed very deserted at this moment. Only a few shops were open for business. The rest of the shops were closed.
As he walked, Longyi's thoughts couldn't help but shift to the current situation of the Nalan Empire. The current situation wasn't ordinary. Nalan Wen and Nalan Wu were merely puppets being manipulated on the surface. The Dark Church was involved and the Holy Law Enforcement Team of the Church of Light was about to arrive. At that time, it would certainly be very lively.
Thinking about the lively scene, Longyi suddenly felt that he had unknowingly walked into a very lively place. This place was bustling with people and there was a long queue of luxurious carriages.
Longyi looked left and right and the corner of his mouth hooked up into a smile. As it turned out, he had unknowingly walked into the red light district of Blue Moon City. There were several famous high-grade brothels in Blue Moon City in the surroundings.
The situation of the Nalan Empire was already like this. Nine out of ten shops on the streets were closed. However, the business of prostitution was surprisingly good. Moreover, it was still daytime. Could it be that all the nobles of the city had gathered here? This was truly a spectacle.
In any case, since he had nothing to do, he might as well stroll around. He wanted to see if the goods here were comparable to the Beautiful Fragrant House operated by Ruyu. After choosing a brothel called Emerald Mist Pavilion, Longyi swaggered into it. The reason why he chose this brothel was because he was curious. This brothel was actually decorated in an elegant and unique manner. He couldn't see a trace of worldly aura. Even the name of this brothel was very elegant. However, this brothel had the most luxurious carriages.
As soon as he entered, a beautiful young girl came over to greet him. She looked very pure. Sure enough, this brothel had a unique style. This business of prostitution also needed to be innovative.
Long Yi sized up the interior of this hall, and saw that there were several tens of tables inside, and each table was occupied. Moreover, there were wooden fences and emerald green plants separating the tables from each other. It was a bit like a modern coffee shop.
"Is this a teahouse?" Longyi curiously asked the young girl beside him who was greeting him.
The young girl giggled and said softly, "This is a man's paradise. You can imagine it to be anything you want."
Longyi understood what she meant. So it was still a brothel of pleasure. It was just that the grade had been upgraded.
The young girl brought Longyi to the private room on the second floor. The area wasn't big, but the decorations were very comfortable.
Longyi sat down on the soft sand and asked with a smile, "This place is quite novel. Do you have any special services?"
"Sir, the lowest cost of our private room is 100 gold coins. We have all kinds of services for you to choose from. This is the Courtesan Roll. You can ask them to accompany you to drink, bathe, chat, and so on. As long as you want it, you can do anything." The young girl said with a sweet smile. There was an ambiguous light in her eyes. Anything could be done, but it included a lot of things.
Longyi casually flipped through the roll. This Courtesan Roll was filled with pictures of all kinds of charming young girls. Each and every one of them was beautiful and had a noble temperament. They looked like the young ladies of noble families. It was no wonder that so many people came here. This owner's brain was really good. Who was he?
The person was a beauty, but what kind of beauty hadn't Longyi seen before? He naturally didn't care about it. Instead, he was very interested in the owner behind the scenes.
"Can I see your boss first?" Longyi asked with a smile as he closed the book.
The young girl was startled. Then she smiled and said, "Sir, you must be joking. How could our boss …"
"I'm not joking. I want to see your boss. Can you pass on a message for me?" Longyi took out a purple coin from his space ring and placed it in the young girl's palm. He also conveniently touched her perky chest.
The girl was a little shocked. She had received a lot of tips, but she had never seen anyone tip a purple coin. This was too extravagant.
The young girl looked at the purple coin for a long time. Who didn't love money? Moreover, it was such a large amount of money. Many people wouldn't be able to earn a purple coin even if they worked their entire lives.
"I'm sorry, sir. I can't accept it. I can pass on a message, but I can't guarantee that the boss won't come to see you." The young girl gritted her teeth and handed the purple coin back to Longyi.
The young girl's action made Longyi have a good impression of her. How many people in this world would be able to resist such a great temptation? Moreover, she was a person who worked in a brothel for pleasure. Longyi couldn't help but admire her character.
"Take it. Whether or not your boss comes to see me, I'll give you the money." Long Yi said.
The young girl was pleasantly surprised. She didn't refuse anymore. She turned around and opened the door to report.
