The pavilion was silent.

Under the constant urging of time, the setting sun has disappeared within the clouds at the edge of the sky.

The last orange-red afterglow spreads the treetops into a red torch.

Shao Siming's toes gently tapped on the soft branches, standing in front of the setting sun, outlining the beautiful and graceful silhouette of the girl in a dream.

She is like a fairy walking out of a comic without any trace of dust.

But the girl's eyes were always frozen on the man in the pavilion, and her eyes as pure as ice and snow were filled with endless affection for the man.

But Chen Mu frowned.

His fingers gently tapped the rough stone tabletop and fell into silence.

Although Bai Xianyu, wearing a silver-white Vermilion Bird mask, could not see the expression, the moment Yu Shaoqin finished speaking, the white jade hand suddenly clenched the dress, and the ice-cold eyes under the mask were staring at the other party.

This eunuch actually knew that his husband had something 'outside the sky'?!

Bai Xianyu was shocked.

‘Things beyond heaven’ have always been regarded as taboo by the court.

Emperors of all dynasties and many forces outside the court have been looking for ways to blend with things outside the sky. Although many methods have been developed, they have more or less side effects.

It is always difficult to find the perfect way to blend with people.

Now my husband has done it.

But this matter must not be known to others. Once it is leaked, the husband will inevitably suffer great trouble and will focus on it inside and outside the court.

Especially, the Queen Mother cannot know!

However, Yu Shaoqin has now exposed this secret directly, not in a tentative tone, which is undoubtedly caught off guard.

Bai Xianyu subconsciously looked at the guard behind Yu Shaoqin, and suddenly realized it in his heart.

Yes, when my husband encountered an assassin, he released a "thing from heaven". Although he used a knife to disguise, he must have been seen through by the assassin.

That's why Yu Shaoqin realized it.

Thinking of this, Bai Xianyu's jade hand quietly placed on the long whip around her waist.

The murderous intent slowly spread inadvertently.

The elite guards around felt the murderous aura, and their thumbs were pressed against the hilt of the knife, and their emotions became tense.

Yu Shaoqin was smiling.

He poured a glass of wine on his own, as if he had guessed what Bai Xianyu was thinking, and said with a smile: "Even if Mr. Chen did not release the 'thing thing' in the battle with the assassin, I could roughly guess one or two."

"you're good."

Chen Mu looked at the head of the high-powered eunuch party in front of him with a serious look on his face. "But you forgot a little bit, value determines the importance of life."

Yu Shaoqin frowned and thought about the meaning of Chen Mu's words.

After a long time, a cold sarcasm appeared on the corner of his lips: "You mean, the Queen Mother will protect you at all costs?"

"right."

"But the Queen Mother can eat people."

"She will deal with other prey before eating me." Chen Mu smiled slightly.

Yu Shaoqin stopped talking, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

The sunset gradually fell, and everything showed unreal colors. The vermilion glazed tiles on the pavilion were spread like a piece of red cloth.

"Don't you want to know the answer?"

After a long silence, Yu Shaoqin was the first to break the silence.

Chen Mu asked back: "What's the answer?"

Yu Shaoqin was not used to being led by someone, but said: "According to normal, I will definitely report this to Your Majesty or the Queen Mother."

"But you didn't." Chen Mu said.

"Yes, I don't." Yu Shaoqin took another sip. "If I said that, Your Majesty will definitely try his best to catch you, and in addition..."

He looked at Bai Xianyu and said, "You are the most trusted confidant of the Queen Mother. Now, for her husband, you have concealed such a big secret from the Queen Mother. Have you ever thought about how disappointed the Queen Mother would be if she knew about this. Once the Queen Mother was disappointed with you, with her personality... can you think of the consequences?"

Yu Shaoqin's seemingly provocative words stated a fact.

Bai Xianyu followed the Queen Mother for many years and had a deep understanding of the latter's temperament.

What the Queen Mother hates the most is betrayal.

But for her husband, she chose to "betray" the Empress Dowager. If this matter is known, her relationship with the Empress Dowager over the years will inevitably fall apart.

Once the Queen Mother is heartless, she will not give you any good fruits.

"Wait a minute, you might be threatening my wife." Chen Mu, who was thinking, suddenly laughed and hugged Bai Xianyu's waist. "My wife is very timid. If she scares her, I... can't spare you."

Although the last few words are still said with a smile, they contain extreme coldness.

"Rareless! I dare to talk to the governor like this!"

The little eunuch who was responsible for handing the wine on the other side turned cold and shouted angrily.

I am used to being respected by the superiors and being respected by others. How could I bear such threats from others? But I completely forgot my identity.

After the little eunuch rebuked him, Yu Shaoqin's brows tightened.

But Chen Mu smiled even happier.

He extended his thumbs to the little eunuch who was overshadowed the Lord: "There is a future, I admire your courage to protect the Lord. My wife must reward him."

Swish!

The black soul body, with a dense barbarian hook, was like a cold and slippery snake lizard, instantly wrapped around the eunuch's neck.

The whip's tail was slammed, and half of the eunuch's white face was cut off.

His bloody appearance is extremely cunning.

Amid the shrill screams, the little eunuch was thrown to the ground, covering his cheeks and wailing constantly, and red blood oozing out of his fingers.

The guards around originally pulled out their swords when Bai Xianyu took action, but when they saw Yu Shaoqin shook his head slightly, they all stood still.

Bai Xianyu withdrew his long whip and shook it gently, and all the blood was thrown away, wrapping it around his waist again.

The presence fell into silence again.

Yu Shaoqin lowered his head and drank silently, turning a deaf ear to the little eunuch's miserable wailing sound. There were a few drops of blood in the corner of the stone table, which splashed over when the long whip was swaying just now, making it particularly dazzling.

"Tell me about your conditions, or what cooperation do you want to engage in?"

This time it was Chen Mu who spoke first.

Yu Shaoqin said: "I can hide this from you and not tell Your Majesty and the Queen Mother. I don't want to use this to threaten you. I just cooperate with you, and both sides will cooperate with you in beneficial cooperation."

"It's beneficial to both sides? It's hard for me to believe a guy who sent someone to assassinate me before."

Chen Mu sighed.

He glanced at the guard behind Yu Shaoqin and said, "Unless I believe that Master Yu has not sent anyone to assassinate me, everything is a misunderstanding."

"You want to clear the misunderstanding?"

"It's not that I think it's necessary to prove it to me. This is a misunderstanding!" Chen Mu looked at the other party with his eyes bright.

"You have no bargaining chips, so you still have the conditions to tell me?" Yu Shaoqin smiled.

He obviously took the other party's handle, but now he seems to be his handle being taken by this kid.

"I'm the biggest bargaining chip."

Chen Mu said in an aggressive tone. "If we talk about cooperation, then our misunderstanding must be resolved."

Yu Shaoqin lowered his head and smiled, but a cold light floated in his eyes: "You must understand your situation. Once I tell the world the secret of your body 'thing something beyond heaven', then you Chen Mu... have no place to live in this world, including everyone around you!"

"It doesn't matter, you can tell me, it doesn't matter."

Chen Mu looked like he was sure of your tone.

As he said that, Chen Mu directly pulled Bai Xianyu's arm and wanted to leave. Without a trace of hesitation and tentative expression, he obviously planned to leave.

It was not until Chen Mu and the others walked out more than ten meters that Yu Shaoqin's voice came: "The wine is cold."

“The wine is cold.”

Chen Mu raised a curve in the corner of his lips, but stopped.

“Can be heated.”

"...thank you, thank you." Chen Mu turned back to the pavilion and sat back to his original position.

Yu Shaoqin added wine to the two of them again and asked lightly: "No surprise, you will go to Pisces Country."

"right."

Chen Mu nodded and picked up the wine glass, and found that the wine was really hot.
