Xie Xiao stared at the two people in the room dumbfounded. He even thought in a daze that his face might be green at this moment.

Fortunately, he quickly came to his senses, stepped into the room before Cui Zheyu got angry, and then closed the door with his backhand, locking out the steward who followed him.

"..." The gambling house manager was speechless, "Old... boss?"

"You go down first!" Cui Zheyu's voice came from the room, and the steward breathed a sigh of relief and quickly retreated.

The room was quiet, and Xie Yan obviously had no intention of speaking first.

Xie Xiao looked at the two of them and didn't know what to say.

Cui Zheyu sat down with a cold face and said in a deep voice: "Who asked you to come in?"

Xie Xiao's face doesn't look too good either. No matter who finds out that his sweetheart refuses to see him, his face won't look good if he sees another adult man alone late at night.

"Why is he here?" Even though the other party was the regent, Xie Xiao still asked what he wanted to ask.

Xie Yan glanced at him sideways, Cui Zheyu raised her eyebrows slightly, and suddenly chuckled: "What do you think?"

"..." Xie Xiao felt that her mind was in chaos.

Xie Yan frowned slightly and said: "I will leave first." He glanced at Xie Xiao who looked ugly and reminded: "Stop playing around."

After saying that, Xie Yan jumped out of the window in front of him and disappeared into the night.

Looking at the empty window, Cui Zheyu clicked his tongue.

Well, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent is getting married. It might be bad if he finds out that he has ruined his reputation and caused the princess to misunderstand him.

Cui Zheyu is not very afraid of Xie Yan, but she doesn't really want to provoke him.

As soon as Xie Yan left, the room became quieter and quieter.

Xie Xiao looked at Cui Zheyu intently, and Cui Zheyu looked at him lazily with a slightly raised eyebrow, without any look of guilt or embarrassment.

Xie Xiao took a deep breath and gritted his teeth: "What is the relationship between you and Xie Yan?"

Cui Zheyu's eyes were a little cold, "Xie Xiao, don't you think you control too much? When did I give you the power to control who I interact with?"

Xie Xiao said hastily: "You know that's not what I meant! Xie Yan... Xie Yan's status..."

Under the light, Cui Zheyu's eyes flashed, and she smiled sweetly, "You want to say... With a status like the regent, he won't like me. What's more, he is about to marry the second girl of the Luo family. I can't afford to offend the Luo family.

?”

"You must talk to me like this?" Xie Xiao gritted his teeth.

Cui Zheyu said calmly: "You can rest assured that I have no such relationship with Xie Yan. As for other matters...Prince Ancheng, I advise you to take less care of it."

Xie Xiao originally didn't believe there was any ambiguity between Cui Zheyu and Xie Yan. His initial reaction was just the conditioned reflex of a man seeing another man in his sweetheart's room late at night.

What he is more concerned about is actually another issue, "Xie Yan has a special status. It will be very dangerous for you to get close to him!"

Cui Zheyu seemed to have heard something funny. She covered her lips and chuckled before saying: "Xie Xiao, have you forgotten how you know me? Have you also forgotten... who am I?"

As a woman, she controls the largest gambling den in Dasheng, and has opened gambling dens in almost half of Dasheng. Does Xie Xiao think that she can just sit in her boudoir and embroider two flowers?

Xie Xiao also choked, and after a long silence, he stepped forward, took Cui Zheyu into his arms, and said, "Marry me, okay?"

Cui Zheyu looked at him with some surprise, "Marry you? Do Prince Ancheng and Princess agree? Even if they agree, if I marry you and become the crown prince, what will happen to these people under me?"

Xie Xiao said: "The gambling shop... is not a serious business after all. You..."

"You want me to close the gambling house?" Cui Zheyu said clearly.

Xie Xiao said: "Stop doing these businesses, let's live a good life, okay? If you don't like Shangyong, I can accompany you to other places, let's go sightseeing..."

Cui Zheyu withdrew from his arms and chuckled: "Why bother? What's wrong with us now? You will be your heir apparent, and I will open my gambling shop. Let me know when you are going to get married.

I’ll give you a congratulatory gift so that we can have a good time together.”

Xie Xiao's expression changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "You have never thought about being with me? Do you know that I, these days..."

I have been thinking of ways these days, trying to find a way to make our father, queen, mother and concubine accept us?

Cui Zheyu sighed: "Young people... are always obsessed with the world of love..."

"I'm not a child! Don't talk to me in this tone!" Xie Xiao gritted his teeth.

Cui Zheyu turned around and looked at him, nodded and said: "Yes, you are about to reach your age. In that case, don't say these unrealistic things. Go back and don't come here again."

Xie Xiao's face turned pale and he staggered back two steps.

He came to her with great joy and wanted to tell her that he had mentioned their matter to his father. Although his father did not say anything, he did not object strongly either.

He could find a more suitable identity for her so that she could marry into Prince Ancheng's palace openly. He wanted to take her to meet his father, and he also wanted to...

However, all he got now was an understatement... Just go back and don't come back again?

Cui Zheyu looked at his pale face and felt a little unbearable. She had known Xie Xiao for three years, and Xie Xiao was indeed a teenager when they met.

Although this young man has been traveling alone for a long time and is much more mature than his peers. But in the eyes of people like Cui Zheyu, there is not much difference.

The relationship between the two changed more than a year ago. Cui Zheyu didn't know whether it was good or bad to have a relationship with a boy who was much younger than him, and they didn't care at that time.

At that time, neither of them took the relationship seriously, but as time went on, it became clear that Xie Xiao did.

Xie Xiao is the eldest son of Prince Ancheng, but she has a reason to come to Shangyong.

So, after only a few months of going around in circles, they got involved again.

Cui Zheyu didn't expect that Xie Xiao actually wanted to marry her.

"Go back." Cui Zheyu raised her hand and touched his eyebrows gently, and said softly: "Don't come here again. Haven't you understood it after more than a year? We are not from the same place."

"you……"

Cui Zheyu smiled and said: "If it is like before, I will be happy if you are willing to come see me. But... I heard that Princess An Cheng is not in good health. Go back and marry a royal concubine. Don't let your mother-in-law worry.

I will leave Shangyong after the matters in the capital are finished. Xie Xiao, I will not stay in Shangyong forever."

"So... you were willing to see me before, not because you wanted to be with me, but..." Xie Xiao was a little embarrassed to say.

But Cui Zheyu nodded generously and said: "Well, it's a romantic marriage."

There was silence in the room for a long time, and Xie Xiao finally turned around and went out with a gloomy face.

Cui Zheyu was the only one left in the room. The smile on her face gradually faded, and it took a while before a faint sigh sounded in the room.

"Why bother? Are you really going to be happy like this?" A low male voice sounded suddenly. Cui Zheyu turned around and looked at the man who suddenly appeared at the window and said angrily: "Your Zhenguo Army loves you so much in the middle of the night from top to bottom.

Climbing through other people's windows?"

The person who came was none other than Gu Jue, a general under Xie Yan's command.

Gu Jue frowned and said, "If you don't waste time here, I won't go through the window."

Cui Zheyu snorted softly, walked to the side and sat down, "The prince has just left."

Gu Jue said: "I know, the prince asked me to come up and take a look. Don't let Xie Xiao pinch you to death."

Cui Zheyu's beautiful face was distorted for a moment in the candlelight. After a while, she said angrily: "If you have something to say, don't meddle in my business!"

Gu Jue said: "The prince asked me to tell you that if you really like Prince An Cheng, it is not impossible to solve the problem."

Cui Zheyu smiled and said: "Oh? How to solve it? Use the power of His Highness the Regent to coerce King An Cheng and his wife to agree to let their son marry a widow who is nine years older than him?"

Gu Jue frowned and said, "You have to be so presumptuous about yourself, you..."

Cui Zheyu interrupted him and said calmly: "You don't need to worry, I just want to find a good-looking young man to play with. What's wrong? Don't forget, Yu Chen is not dead yet. Strictly speaking...

I am not yet a widow."

Gu Jue was silent for a long time, and the atmosphere in the room became a little solemn.

I don't know how much time passed before Gu Jue said in a deep voice: "Sister Cui, Yu Chen won't live long. When he dies, forget about the past. How sad is it that you are like this... General Cui is still alive in heaven?"

Cui Zheyu didn't want to continue this topic and said, "You always go to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason. What's the matter?"

Gu Jue also knew that she didn't want to mention this anymore, so he also changed the topic, "Many outsiders have sneaked into Shangyong in the past two days, and most of them have entered Dongcheng. You should be careful."

Cui Zheyu looked solemn and said: "Oh, it seems that a big shot has arrived in Shangyong."

Gu Jue said: "Don't act impulsively, you are no match for them."

Cui Zheyu glanced at him and said with a smile: "What are you thinking about? Do you think I'm stupid? Even if you are really carried away, you still know how many pounds you have, and you won't use your eggs to tell others.

It’s a stone’s throw. If you have time to care about me, you might as well care about your prince’s marriage. It’s not like Bai came to Yonglai just for me, right?”

Gu Jue was obviously used to the way she spoke, and said: "I will send people over to protect your safety. You don't need to pay attention to them and just pretend they don't exist."

Cui Zheyu didn't care, "Whatever."

Seeing that the wedding day was approaching, the inner city became more and more lively.

The marriage between the Prince Regent's Palace and the Luo Palace can be regarded as the most prominent combination of the two forces in the Yonghuang City today, and it is inevitable that it will attract attention.

In the past two days, whether it was the Luo family or the Regent's Palace, there was an endless stream of guests in front of the gate, while the Mu'an Palace, on the other hand, could be said to be a crowded place.

Most of the dignitaries in Shangyong actually felt a little baffled about the former Prince Mu's Mansion.

Old King Mu is the great ancestor's brother, the late emperor's uncle, and the regent's father. If this status were replaced by any other royal family member, not to say that he has the power to dominate the world, it would not be like an idle family, right?

But King Mu was able to confuse himself to such an extent that outsiders could not understand what he was doing.
