The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

"Alas, little emperor, you are really brave."

After Xie Yue left, Long Sui came out from somewhere. She poked her little head out from the edge of the door and gave Lu Shi a thumbs up.

"And that guy, Miss Peony, you're the same."

The system also received a lot of praise. She got off Lu Shi embarrassedly and stood on the ground, not knowing what to do with her hands and feet.

"Stay..."

Under Lu Shi's warning look, the system changed the name in time.

"Uh... hours, what should we do after that?"

"Redeem you first."

"Hey!" Long Sui interrupted their conversation, "Little Emperor, although what happened between you and Xie Yue is none of my business, I think you'd better go over and take a look."

"When he just went out, he felt something was wrong."

As a senior "dip dunk expert" in the 21st century, Long Sui is really optimistic about this pair. The puppet little emperor and the powerful regent are really good to dump dunk.

Although the little emperor was a dandy boy and looked timid, she could see the little emperor's potential as an "aggressor" at a glance.

She is optimistic about this couple.

At this time, Lu Shi was in a dilemma.

If I go looking for someone now, will all my efforts be in vain?

But if I don't find someone, if something really happens to Xie Yue...

The vague sense of guilt in her heart had not yet dissipated, so she finally decided to go and take a look.

It was her fault for wasting all the points that other people had for returning home. Now she feels a little insecure about everything she does and feels a little sorry for him.

"Long Sui, I'll give you the banknotes. Please help me redeem Mudan and bring her to the palace. Xiao Kangzi will make the rest of the arrangements. I'll go talk to Xie Yue."

"Go ahead, leave this Peony girl to me!"

After receiving the response, Lu Shi rushed to the Regent's Palace, but was stopped by the guards at the door.

"The prince has ordered that from now on, no one, including Your Majesty, will be allowed to enter the palace."

"Ah? Why? I remember the prince told you last time that I can enter and leave the palace freely from now on."

"I don't know. This is an order from the prince just now. Your Majesty, please don't embarrass me."

Ugh!

Lu Shi stood outside the palace with a sad face.

Now, we are not allowed to enter the palace. We are really back to the time before liberation.

Otherwise, would she obey Xie Yue?

No!

Lu Shi shook his head secretly.

She wanted to struggle again.

Lu Shi went around to the Regent's back door.

She remembered that there was a tree inside the palace, so she tried to see if she could climb over the wall to get in.

Well, it’s quite high. Obviously the original owner couldn’t get over it.

What if she added some more settings for herself, such as being instructed by a master in the cold palace and therefore knowing some kung fu?

Oh, forget it, it doesn't make sense. She acted like a loser before, and now she suddenly said she knew kung fu, which made her look like a liar. It would be even worse if Xie Yue found out.

So Lu Shi visited his neighbors from street to street, and finally used his "money power" to borrow a ladder from a family.

After climbing to the top of the wall as he wished, Lu Shi felt a little scared when he saw the height below.

It’s not her who is timid, it’s the original owner who is timid.

He closed his eyes and jumped, his feet landing on solid ground, and Lu Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

Look at how dedicated she is, she doesn't even dare to let her character fall apart.

Don't think she doesn't know, there are several pairs of eyes staring at her in the dark.

Xie Yue must be aware of her every move now, but he did not let the people in the dark stop her.

Then the matter should not be too serious and there is still room for discussion.

At the door of Xie Yue's room, Lu Shi pushed the door, but it didn't open. She ran to the window and pushed it, and hey, the window opened.

Sure enough, how does that sentence go?

When God closes a door for you, he will definitely open a window for you!

Looking inside through the window, all I could see was a pitch-black expanse and a faint bulge on the bed.

Lu Shi quietly climbed into the room through the window.

"Xie Yue, Xie Yue, are you asleep?" Lu Shi lowered his voice, like a thief.

But he is not a thief who steals money, but a flower thief who steals fragrance and jade.

I shouted for a long time, my voice getting louder and louder, but there was no response from the person, as if he was really asleep.

You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

Okay, this attitude should be enough. If she stays any longer, things will become a little ambiguous between the two of them.

She walked to the window and prepared to retrace her steps.

At this moment, a low voice came from my ear, neither fast nor slow, with a hint of alienation.

"Your Majesty, why are you visiting so late at night?"

"Hey, I just came in to see you. You seemed quite angry just now."

"Your Majesty is mistaken."

Xie Yue straightened up from the bed. The dim moonlight shone in from the window, casting a faint light and shadow in the room.

The light in the room wasn't bright enough to make out his expression, so one could only judge his emotions from the tone of his voice.

"Your Majesty should be on the bed right now, why did you have the energy to climb over the wall into the palace and even become a thief in my room?"

I couldn't hear any emotion.

Lu Shi frowned slightly, but his tone was still smiling, "Of course I came to coax you."

"Although I don't know why you're angry, we're good brothers. I left behind such a beautiful woman and came here to comfort you. That's quite considerate of me, isn't it?"

"No need." Xie Yue's tone was as cold as ice in winter.

"I am not angry and do not need to be comforted. Your Majesty, please go back and spend some time with your Peony."

"Ruofeng! Send His Majesty back to the palace!"

"The gatekeeper failed in his duty. Go down and receive twenty lashes of the cane."

Ruofeng appeared silently, "Yes."

Lu Shi was forcibly asked to leave the palace, which declared the failure of this operation.

The person was sent away, and Xie Yue sat on the bed motionless, like a wooden man.

Suddenly, Xie Yue laughed out loud, and self-mockery flooded into his heart like a tide.

He originally thought that he and the other person were in love and had a tacit understanding, but today he found out that it was just his wishful thinking.

Lu Shi has always liked women, not men.

Just now, Lu Shi had gone to great lengths to break in, and he thought there was still a glimmer of hope.

did not expect……

Brother, good brother, what a brother!

She kept repeating these two words in every sentence.

Once again, his expectations were destroyed.

In this case, I am not the kind of person who would pester you relentlessly.

He has his own pride.

In his own world, he is the only son in the family and all the love in the family is on him.

He is also a prodigy in the academic world. At such a young age, when others may still be in college, he has already become a professor.

He had hardly ever suffered any hardship, so he developed such a proud and arrogant character.

He was so arrogant that he thought Lu Shi did everything for him because he loved him. He was so arrogant that he ignored her gender and misunderstood her sexual orientation...

but it does not matter.

Indecisiveness leads to disaster.

He can take it and let it go.

Lu Shi, from now on, let’s go back to where we were.

The system sensed his thoughts: "Host, are you just giving up like that? After all, you spent so many points on her."

"Just think of it as repaying her for blocking an arrow."

"But if she hadn't asked you to go to the back mountain, none of this would have happened."

Xie Yue: "Then just treat those points as if they were thrown away!"
