He said, "This matter is ultimately my fault. I did not handle the matter properly. When Madam questioned me, I did not choose to explain calmly, but chose to procrastinate. This caused her to have murderous intentions and almost ruined the emperor's plan. This is my incompetence."

This is also true.

If Emperor Zhou had not arrived at the Plum Blossom Alley first, if his wife had taken action earlier, Ning Zhuo's plan would have been ruined.

Fortunately, everything is going well now.

Xu Wang humbly admitted his mistake, and Ning Zhuo didn't say anything else. He was just like that, he would rather suffer more than let others suffer.

So Ning Zhuo changed the topic again. She pulled Tang Wanru over and asked, "Do you know who she is?"

Xu Wang raised his head and looked at Tang Wanru, frowning. He knew that Ning Zhuo was probably asking about her other deeper identities, but he really didn't know, so he only said what he knew: "Saintess."

Ning Zhuo smiled.

He always has some thoughts that are open and aboveboard, which makes people feel cute.

"She is the Dark Lord of the Dark Realm."

Dark, Dark Lord?

After hearing this, Xu Wang was shocked.

The Dark Domain has also developed rapidly in the past two years, and its influence has almost covered the entire northwest. I didn't expect that the person behind it was such a beautiful and gentle woman.

How great must her ability be?

But at the same time, Xu Wang had some doubts in his heart. So even though Tang Wanru was present, Xu Wang boldly asked Ning Zhuo: "Why do you want to cooperate with the Dark Domain?"

In his opinion, that was also a considerable force.

Collaboration is always dangerous.

Of course, Ning Zhuo didn't think so much about it. Tang Wanru was her daughter-in-law, and they were a family. But even if Xu Wang didn't ask, she would tell him about this issue.

This was also the reason why she called him here today.

Ning Zhuo then said, "General Xu, I believe you also know that the Wu Clan uses sorcery to harm the people and make money. I am cooperating with the Dark Realm to completely eliminate the last force of the Wu Clan!"

Qiao Mansion.

It was already late when Tang Wanru came back. She pushed the door open and walked in. Suddenly, she felt her oil lamp flickering in the breeze. Then she felt a warmth on her back. Someone suddenly came out from behind and hugged her.

A refreshing and pleasant body fragrance lingered around her.

She knew immediately that it was her husband.

My heart suddenly felt at peace.

She tilted her head back, getting too close to him.

The warmth between two people is more touching than this light.

"Why did you come back so late?" Bai Yanli asked in her ear.

"You're still asking me?" Tang Wanru turned around and smiled at him, "At this time, brother, you should sleep in your own room, not here with me."

Bai Yanli smiled and answered without hesitation: "Because I miss you too much."

What a straightforward and tempting answer.

She leaned her head back against his body and smiled at him mischievously. Since he was so straightforward, she answered him readily: "I had something to do tonight and just came back after finishing it."

His beloved wife.

She was always busier than him, and she was no worse than him in the capital and Jiangnan before. Now that she has become a saint here, he understands that she is a little busier.

What's more, she has another identity that she is hiding from him.

At this moment, Bai Yanli suddenly felt that the present life seemed to be the opposite of the past. In the past, his childhood sweetheart always waited for him at home out of habit.

And now, he had to wait for her at home.

Thinking of the purpose of coming here, Bai Yanli's pupils flickered slightly. He suddenly remembered what Dr. Yun said to him when he came here.

"When an obsession disappears, it's the best time for her to come back."

"You help her resolve her obsession there, and I will do my best to treat her body here. Together we will seize the opportunity to send her back."

"You have to remember one thing. She in that world is a reflection of her mind in this world." He said, "Once she dies here, she over there will also disappear."

"So, you have to seize the opportunity and send her back."

At this moment, Bai Yanli's mind was in turmoil, until Tang Wanru scratched his nose with her hand, which brought him back to his senses.

She looked up at him and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

When Bai Yanli thought of the word "disappear", he felt extremely panicked. He suddenly stretched out his hands and hugged her tightly in his arms.

At the same time he leaned down and buried his head in the crook of her neck.

It seemed that only in this way could he feel a little at ease and soothe the fear in his heart.

"Wanru, when everything here is over, will you come home with me?" Bai Yanli said.

Tang Wanru was amused by his words. She hugged him tightly and stroked his back lovingly, saying soothingly, "Of course, isn't our home in Jiangnan? Of course I want to go home with you."

"No, it's not that." Bai Yanli hugged her and said, "Let's go back to our own home. A home for just the two of us."

Why are you acting like a little kid today?

Tang Wanru smiled and nodded, "Okay, I promise, I'll go wherever you go."

Hear something like this.

Bai Yanli's eyes flashed slightly, and he hugged her tighter.

Early the next morning.

Qi Neng brought a few people on horseback to the gate of Qi's house. He came here to ask for marriage today because of Tang Yue'er's words. He was very nervous when he didn't come last night. He recalled the fierce look Tang Wanru gave him at the border that day, and he was a little scared in his heart.

But standing here this morning, he felt confident again.

No matter what, his family is also an official family, and the Qiao family is just a merchant family. In terms of status, they are not worthy of each other. Although Qiao Ruer is a saint, it is just a title. The people think she is noble, but in fact, it is just that, and she may not be worthy of him.

He might as well try it today.

Who knows, just like what the scarred woman said, I might really be the one who eats the crab.

Thinking of this, Qi Neng turned over and got off his horse. Coincidentally, two servants from the Qiao Mansion came out, and they saw Qi Neng standing at the door, dressed neatly.

The two people felt puzzled.

Why did the Qi family come to visit? The Qiao family and the Qi family have never had any contact with each other.

"Mr. Qi, is there something wrong?"

Qi Neng then took out a visiting card from his sleeve and said respectfully, "Please go inside and inform them that Qi Neng is here today to ask for Miss Qiao Ruer of the Qiao family's hand in marriage."

The two men were stunned.

Inside the door, Master Qiao had just practiced swordplay in the yard in the morning. He had just changed out of his training clothes, and the servants were helping him put on his coat. Suddenly, he saw the housekeeper running over in a panic. He shouted, "Master, something bad has happened."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Old Qiao had seen a lot of the world, so he asked in some surprise, "Tell me what happened slowly." Is there anything that cannot be solved?
