Lu Yeming remained expressionless as he repeated himself. "Give me the red bean."
Jun Xiqing sneered inside. There were so many red beans and he actually knew that one was missing.
For the sake of a red bean, he had the intention to kill these captains of the Wuling Iron Cavalry.
She knew very well that in this man's heart, the Wuling Iron Steed Troop was nothing compared to the person he loved.
"I ate that red bean," Ye Zichen said.
Lu Yeming's expression changed and he slowly furrowed his brows.
Jun Xiqing met his cold gaze fearlessly. "If you're really angry, then kill me."
"Ha." Lu Yeming's throat bobbed as he let out a low laugh.
He suddenly let go of her face and stood up. He looked at her condescendingly and smiled. "You know that I can't bear to kill you now?"
Hasn't the West Duke always been eyeing my wolf-taming skills?
Wan Wan, you only know that I'm eyeing your wolf-taming skills, but don't you know that I'm also eyeing … you? "
Jun Xiqing's eyelashes quivered. His deep gaze moved down from her delicate face, landing on her petite body that was covered by a white veil.
She clenched her fists by her side and scolded him through gritted teeth. "Shameless! Despicable! "
Now that she was exposed, there was no need for him to hide anymore. From this moment onwards, she was his.
Lu Yeming's handsome face was tinged with a faint smile. "Men, bring Third Miss Jun back."
"Yes."
"Wan Wan, you can stay in my West Palace as a guest. I want you to see me … marry a consort."
Marry a consort?
He was going to marry.
Ye Ruge was his duchess and Ah Xiao was his consort. He wanted to marry two consorts on the same day.
Jun Xiqing thought that she didn't feel anything, but her heart felt as though it had been pierced by a long needle. She felt an intense pain.
She lowered her long lashes, concealing all the emotions in her eyes. When she lifted her head again, she smiled at him. "I'm going to see you marry a consort. Do you think I'm your mother?"
"…"
Even someone as calm and collected as Lu Yeming's expression darkened at this moment.
…
The other side.
Tang Mo 'er stood at the pier, wearing a black coat. She looked at the surface of the river, Jun Chulin had already boarded the boat and left, he was nowhere to be seen.
She had personally sent Jun Chulin away.
At this moment, a flurry of footsteps could be heard. Fan Men had arrived with his men. "Elder Miss, where's Jun Chulin?"
"He has already left."
"First Miss, how are you going to explain this to the king?"
Tang Mo 'er turned around. "I'll let Yeming know."
…
West Palace.
Tang Mo 'er walked in and saw a tall figure standing in the living room. Lu Yeming took off his black leather gloves and handed them over to the maid. His black clothes accentuated his exquisite features.
"Yeming," Tang Mo 'er called gently.
Lu Yeming turned around. His deep almond-shaped eyes landed on Tang Mo 'er's face and he walked forward.
"Yeming, I'm sorry. I was the one who sent Jun Chulin away. Uncle Jun was kind to Mom and I'm old friends with Jun Chulin, so …"
Lu Yeming stretched out his fingers and personally took off Tang Mo 'er's coat. "Elder Sister, it's very cold outside. Don't go out in the future. You're not in good health now, don't worry about anything else. I'll save you."
"Yeming," Tang Mo 'er shook her head. "AR isn't a poison, there's no antidote for it. Even if you're the chosen one and rule the world in the future, you won't be able to defy fate. Life and death have their own destiny. Don't treat me as your responsibility and burden. Mom and Dad aren't around anymore, I should be the one taking care of you."
Even though Tang Mo 'er's delicate face was filled with fine wrinkles, her eyes were gentle and filled with warmth.
Lu Yeming stretched out his strong arm and pulled Tang Mo 'er into his embrace. His nose was pressed against her silky hair as he murmured, "Elder Sister, I'll definitely save you."
Tang Mo 'er smiled. "Silly brother … that's right, Yeming, you're all grown up now. I shouldn't interfere too much with your relationship and marriage. You're a person with your own opinions, but do you really intend to marry Ye Ruge and Ah Xiao?
"I won't comment on Ye Ruge, but you know better than anyone what kind of person Ah Xiao is. How can you marry someone like that?"
Lu Yeming hugged Tang Mo 'er tighter and his thin lips curved upwards. His deep voice was gentle like never before. "Elder Sister, you don't have to care about these things. They're not even worth one ten-thousandth of you."
Tang Mo 'er stretched out her hand and patted Lu Yeming's back like a mother patting her own child. "Alright, I'll be an outsider in the future. You have to dote on your own wife, do you understand?"
Lu Yeming didn't say a word.
At this moment, Fan Men walked in from outside. When he saw this scene, he quickly lowered his head and retreated to the side.
Lu Yeming had already sensed the commotion and he quietly let go of Tang Mo 'er. "Elder Sister, go upstairs and rest early."
"Alright."
Tang Mo 'er went upstairs and disappeared from the room.
…
It was only after Tang Mo 'er left that Fan Men dared to step forward. He came to Lu Yeming's side and reported in a low voice, "Duke, we've found Manjusaka."
Manjusaka, also known as … the Red Spider Lily.
Legend had it that the Red Spider Lily was as alluring as fire. It bloomed between the realms of life and death and had the ability to bring the dead back to life.
The Red Spider Lily was a legendary flower and no one had actually seen it before.
With the Red Spider Lily, Tang Mo 'er could be saved.
Lu Yeming lowered his eyes and rolled up his sleeves. When he heard this, he paused and lifted his eyes to look at Fan Men. "Where is it?"
Fan Men said in a low voice, "The palace."
…
Late at night, in the master bedroom.
The door to the bathroom opened with a thud. Lu Yeming had just showered and walked out with a wave of chilly air.
He put on a dark blue silk robe and used a towel to dry his wet short hair. He came to the counter where there was a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.
He took out a cigarette and put it on his thin lips. With a "pa" sound, he lit the lighter. He bent down slightly and lit the cigarette.
The flickering red flame made his handsome face look like it had been polished. He was so devilish that one would blush just by looking at him.
He leaned indolently against the counter and started to smoke.
His handsome face couldn't be seen clearly because of the smoke. She only felt that he was exceptionally cold and distant.
After smoking half a cigarette, he got up and left the room.
In the corridor, a maid greeted respectfully, "Young Master."
Lu Yeming held the cigarette in one hand and asked in a low voice, "Where is Third Miss Jun?"
"Young Master, Third Miss Jun is at the Rain Admiration Pavilion."
"Got it."
…
Rain Admiration Pavilion.
Jun Xiqing lay on the bed. She was having a nightmare and her forehead was covered in cold sweat.
