183. Identify Exposed

City of Jade.

Tian Yusu put down the sword in his hand.

Ever since he arrived at City of Jade, many scouts were sent to pry his business. Tian Yusu’s secret guards killed them all.

There were many more scouts this night and they were from three forces. Therefore, Tian Yusu joined the fight as a way to vent his anger.

“Your Highness, all of them are dead,” a secret guard reported.

Tian Yusu nodded coldly. Just as he was about to go back to his room, another man rushed over at a very fast speed. Tian Yusu was astonished by the fast speed.

His secret guards quickly became alert and flew over to fight that man. However, the secret guard retreated after only one move.

Tian Yusu was shocked as he saw who it was clearly.

It was Han.

Because it was because Han, the secret guard left.

Han flew over and stood in front of Tian Yusu.

Tian Yusu looked at Han in a daze. Han took out a bracelet from his pocket. “For you.”

The bracelet was purple and beautiful, and amazingly fragrant.

It was a she-man’s bracelet, right? Looking at the bracelet, Tian Yusu thought of what Han Tingxuan told him that Han went to get something as a betrothal present.

Tian Yusu was not sure if he should take it.

Han was confused. “You don’t like it?”

Tian Yusu said, “What is this…?”

” Purple Spider Lily, immune to poisons,” said Han.

“Immune to poisons?” Tian Yusu was surprised.

Han nodded. “Yes, daddy wore it when he was alive. I took it out from daddy’s tomb.”

Tian Yusu, “…”

For this bracelet, Han dug a grave?

Han said, “daddy told me that if I meet someone I really like, I can take it. Otherwise, this bracelet would be buried with him.”

Tian Yusu: “…” He was not sure whether he should be touched or not.

Why were Han and his daddy so different from others?

“Let me put it on you?” asked Han.

Tian Yusu looked at Han’s serious face, but in the end, he still didn’t refuse.

Hence, Han put the bracelet on Tian Yusu very seriously.

Tian Yusu’s skin was very fair. Although it was night time, the purple bracelet was especially beautiful around Tian Yusu’s wrist.

Han only thought of the word ‘beautiful’.

Han stared at it blankly.

Tian Yusu said shyly, “What’s wrong? Is there a problem? ”

Han said bluntly, “Very beautiful.”

Tian Yusu was speechless. “I’m a man. Why should I look beautiful?”

Han was confused. “Why can’t a man be beautiful?”

Tian Yusu gave up arguing with Han because there was a communication problem between them.

They were basically not on the same page.

“Why don’t you say anything?” Han looked at Tian Yusu in confusion.

Tian Yusu then said, “Let’s go inside first.”

“Okay,” Han nodded. “By the way, Big Brother said that Official Dongfang has taken over the job of the plague matter.”

Tian Yusu nodded. “Okay. It is good to know that someone has taken care of it. What else did your brother say to you?”

“A lot,” Han thought for a moment and said, “Big Brother said that you should go back in time.”

Tian Yusu was helpless. “I wish I could. But I’m afraid I will stay for a long time in the City of Jade.”

“Is this what my big brother or the emperor wants?” Han asked.

“I bet the emperor. But Han Tingxuan must be a part of it,” Tian Yusu said.

“Oh… How long will we stay here?” Han asked.

“At least for two to three months. This is my consumption for current situation. There is possibility that we will stay here for the following half a year.”

“So long?” Han frowned. “I can’t see my Big Brother for such a long time?”

Tian Yusu: “…” Do you really care about Han Tingxuan so much?!

Han looked at Tian Yusu. “Let’s sleep.”

Since when did the topic change so suddenly? Tian Yusu suddenly paused.

However, Han came over to hold Tian Yusu’s hand…

Tian Yusu was very unaccustomed to being treated like a she-man. He instinctively shook off Han’s hand.

Han was confused. “What’s wrong?”

“Eh…” Tian Yusu didn’t know what to say.

Han frowned. “You don’t like me?”

“Not like that.” Tian Yusu retorted instinctively.

Han was even more confused, but he was relieved. “What’s wrong?”

Because he did not like the feeling of being taken care of? In the end, Tian Yusu only said, “I’m not used to it.”

Han looked at Tian Yusu and said, “You are used to being close to others.”

Tian Yusu was stunned and hurriedly said, “That is because I was not that serious.”

“You are not serious. I see,” Han repeated.

How come did he make it worse? Tian Yusu immediately added, “Not that…”

Han suddenly pulled Tian Yusu close to him and kissed him.

Tian Yusu froze there. Han kissed harder. Then, Tian Yusu closed his eyes.

A moment later, Han let go of Tian Yusu and said softly, “Big Brother said that we will be used to being around. Big Brother also said that I should be the bigger one because a husband needs to take care of his male wife.”

Tian Yusu’s face sunk. Han Tingxuan! You are my enemy!

While Tian Yusu swore that he was going to win Han Tingxuan, he was dragged onto the bed by Han.

When Han was about to get into Tian Yusu, he said, “Don’t worry. Big Brother told me to be gentle. I hurt you last time, so you might have a bad impression. This time, I won’t hurt you!”

Tian Yusu, “…”

Han Tingxuan! I swear I will take revenge!

Han Tingxuan sneezed and started rubbing his nose. “Did Yanzhi miss me? But soon, we will reunite… ”

On the fifth day of the new year, the Yue Empire’s emissary arrived.

The reason why Han Tingxuan didn’t go to see Mo Yanzhi was because he was waiting for the day.

The imperial family’s representatives were Duke Yong’an and his grandson Tian Jingxing, Duke Guanjing and his son Tian Chuanyun.

Under the leadership of Dongfang Xu and Nangong Jue, the officials attended. Sun Yuan was very low-key. On the other hand, his second son, Sun Xiubo, was promoted because his righteous action of turning his family in. But he was not entitled much authority at his new position.

However, as long as the Sun family came on stage again in the next year, his new position could also become official. Therefore, he was one of those who welcome the Yue Empire’s Emissaries.

Han Tingxuan did not represent the imperial family but he was not on the side of the officials.

Although he presented, he was with the guards!

At this time, Han Tingxuan was with Xu Ying, the commander of the guard, and the deputy commander Fang Jue.

The two of them were acquaintance with Han Tingxuan. Xu Ying asked curiously, “Your highness, are you sure you want to stand with us, rough soldiers?”

Han Tingxuan smiled. “It’s a great merit for Official Xu to protect the City of Capital. Why do you call yourself rough soldiers? I beg to differ.”

Xu Ying smiled heartily. “Haha, we are willing to be rough soldiers. We are straightforward, not like those scholars.”

Han Tingxuan smiled and said, “This is the true nature of you.”

As they spoke, they could already see the Yue Empire’s Emissaries coming closer.

Yue Youlong, the crown prince, and Yue Youbai, the third prince. One of them was dressed in black and the other in blue. They were both handsome.

Especially the imperial she-man, Yue Youbai, who was noble and breath-takingly beautiful. However, his face looked familiar to Han Tingxuan. While he was thinking this, Han Tingxuan saw a white figure flashing past a corner outside the palace gate.

Han Tingxuan paused. Suddenly, an idea came into his mind.

“Sorry, excuse me.” After saying this, Han Tingxuan retreat and left.

Xu Ying couldn’t stop him in time!

Fang Jue frowned slightly. “Why is he leaving now?”

“I don’t know, maybe there’s something urgent.”

“If the elders of the Ministry of Rites know about it, I’m afraid they’ll impeach Prince Chen’s husband.”

“Then we should help him.”

“Alright. Let’s do whatever we cann do.”

Han Tingxuan did not realize Xu Ying and Fang Jue were worried about him. He went straight to the place where he saw Yang Shuo earlier.

“Yang Shuo, show yourself!”

A few seconds later, Yang Shuo appeared with a bitter smile on his face. “I’ve always kept a close eye on Xue when he kept contact with people from the Yue Empire. I’ve been watching him closely for the past few days. But his martial arts are greater than I presumed. Just now, he went missing and took away the account book of Bamboo Lane.”

Han Tingxuan’s eyes turned cold. “You mean the one with gray-income?”

Yang Shuo nodded, a little distressed. “Yes, this month’s secret account and some information.”

Han Tingxuan let out a long sigh of relief. Even though the Bamboo Lane was a normal business, there was always gray income like any other business in the industry, although there were not many for Bamboo Lane.

A month of secret accounts was not much, but it was enough to be traced down.

But there was no way to track down anything about the royal family.

Han Tingxuan was not worried about this. As for the information, they were something insiders all knew.

However, if they were to be used by others, or if others spread the news that the Bamboo Lane was collecting information, they would probably suffer a huge blow!

“So, Yue Youbai is Xue?”

“…I’m afraid so,” Yang Shuo said with gloomy eyes, feeling complicated. “I really didn’t expect that the imperial she-man of the Yue Empire would hide in a brothel. It is my mistake.”

Han Tingxuan looked deeply at Yang Shuo and suddenly asked, “Can you tell what is reality or play?”

Yang Shuo froze and immediately said, “Yes! Of course, I can!”

Han Tingxuan didn’t say anything else but waved his hand. “Don’t show yourself. Go back.”

“Yes,” Yang Shuo nodded slightly and disappeared.

When Han Tingxuan returned to the crowd, Yue Youbai and the others had already entered the palace gate.

At this time, something happened to Lou Yanqing in the royal residence outside City of Capital!

Lou Yanqing had been feeling unwell since yesterday and had a fever.

However, since he was pregnant, Shen Fangde didn’t dare to use drugs. So he told Lou Yanqing’s servants to cool him down with wet towels.

Lou Yanqing made it through the night. He felt much better in the next morning. So he got out of bed and was about to have a sunbath. However, he felt dizzy all of sudden. Thankfully, he was accompanied with servants. But as it happened so suddenly, he fell on the ground and almost hurt his baby.

Mo Yanzhi came and dismissed all the servants, leaving only Shadow 27.

“What’s wrong with him? Why did he go dizzy?” Mo Yanzhi hurriedly asked, suspecting that someone had planted spies here, which made him a little scary.

Because he brought the people who were originally royal to Tian Yuexi and the people he trained afterwards. Besides, royal palace warriors army were guarding outside. If a spy could seep in, where else would be safe?

Shen Fangde diagnosed Lou Yanqing.

“Consort Lou’s physical condition is a little weak after he was pregnant. He had a fever yesterday. Although he was a little better this morning, he is not fully recovered, so he went dizzy. I will try my best to keep the baby alive.”

So, was it an accident? Mo Yanzhi sighed with relief. “You must find a way to save the child. Consort Lou values this child very much.”

“Yes!” Shen Fangde answered.

Shadow 27 clenched his fists.

Mo Yanzhi said lightly, “Shadow 27, please help me here.”

“Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty!”

After leaving Lou Yanqing’s room, Mo Yanzhi returned to his own courtyard. His courtyard was separated from Lou Yanqing’s. When he returned to his room, he touched his stomach.

“Baby, you have to stay healthy. Daddy will take good care of you…”

Mo Yanzhi said this with a gentle expression.

“Baby, in two days, your father will be here. We will be together, you, me, your father…”

After talking with the baby for a while, Shadow Two came.

Shadow Two reported about the arrival of the Yue Empire’s Emissary, including Yue Youbai who was Xue the prostitute.

Mo Yanzhi finally had a response. “Yue Youbai is Xue? Is there a problem with Yang Shuo?”

The first thing he thought about was whether Yang Shuo would betray him.

“Prince Chen’s husband sent a message saying that he is trustworthy.”

Mo Yanzhi thought about it, “Then leave it be.”

Shadow Two reported things about the officials and that everything else was proceeding normally.

Mo Yanzhi nodded. “Yes, in such a short time, nothing special has happened. Keep a close eye on them. Don’t miss anything. And don’t get yourself exposed.”

“Yes!” Shadow Two answered.

Mo Yanzhi waved his hand. “You are dismissed.”

After Shadow Two left, Mo Yanzhi felt a little tired. He went to bed and planned to rest.

Mo Yanzhi’s recent life was leisure and laidback, but Dongfang Xu and Nangong Jue basically lived in a hell.

Especially when the crown prince of the Yue Empire discovered that the emperor of the Heavenly Empire was not present, he picked on Dongfang Xu and other officials.

However, Dongfang Xu had to take whatever came because Yue Youlong was a crown prince of a country.

Duke Guanjing and Duke Yong’an were smart enough to leave in the excuse that they were too old to join the young generation.

Finally, Dongfang Ye, Nangong Wudi, Tian Chuanyun and Tian Jingxing were in charge of entertaining Yue Youlong and others.
