Villain: We agreed to cancel the engagement, what are you regretting?

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Prefect Wei Long saw Wang Xuan stopped and asked.

"When I saw the high eaves of Mingyue Tower, I thought of Tianxiang Tower in Luodu, and I was distracted for a moment."

Wei Long smiled and said,"Your Highness has a good eye. You can tell at once that Mingyue Tower was built to imitate Tianxiang Tower."

"Oh? Really? Then I have to take a closer look to see if the ladies in Mingyue Tower can rival those in Tianxiang Tower."

"I can't say I can compare with him, but I won't let His Highness down."Wei Long replied with a smile.

The two walked into Mingyue Tower hand in hand.

Not far away, in the direction where Wang Xuan was looking, in front of an inconspicuous grocery stall, a man wearing a bamboo hat was frightened and sweating.

After Wang Xuan left, he finally relaxed and collapsed to the ground.

"The Prince of Zhenbei must have discovered that I was spying on him!"

"I have to report back to the guardian immediately!"

Thinking of this, the man in the bamboo hat didn't want anything anymore and left.......

Today, the entire Mingyue Tower was deserted. Needless to say, it must have been reserved by the Jingzhou Governor.

It was indeed a big deal.

When they arrived at the top of the building, a group of officials stood up to greet them. The leader was tall and handsome with a mustache. It was the Jingzhou Governor Liu Dezhu.

"I, your humble servant Liu Dezhu, pay my respects to His Royal Highness, the Imperial Envoy, Prince Wang Xuan. I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you from afar!" Liu Dezhu bowed and said

"Lord Liu, you are too polite. I am not a pedantic person. You are busy with all kinds of affairs for the people of Jingzhou. How can I blame you? Before I came, Uncle Yang told me that if I need help with anything, I can find you, Uncle Liu."

As a representative of civil officials, Liu Dezhu once cooperated with Yang Heng to eliminate the witch cult bandits, and they had some friendship.

He said that Yang Heng mentioned Liu Dezhu to him, but it was purely fabricated, just to find an excuse to build a relationship so that he could carry out his work later.

Sure enough, Liu Dezhu smiled from ear to ear. The dignified prince of Zhenbei called him"Uncle Liu" in front of all the officials, which gave him enough face. It was really a good idea.

"I didn't expect that the general still remembered me. I am really touched! I haven't seen you for many years. I wonder how the general is doing?"

"Uncle Yang is still the same as before, in very good health, and can even eat three bowls of rice every day!"

"That's good. I haven't seen you for many years and I miss you very much. When Your Highness returns, please help me to say hello to the general!"

"Of course. If you have anything to say, you can write a letter and I will take it back to you!"

""Okay, why don't we take a seat first and chat while we talk? Your Highness invites you!"

Everyone took a seat and the banquet began.

Various delicious dishes were presented one after another.

There were also various courtesans who accompanied them to drink and play the piano. They were toasting and having a great time.

Although the Mingyue Tower was built in imitation of the Tianxiang Tower, its level in all aspects was not inferior at all.

During the banquet, various officials were bragging about Liu Dezhu's various political achievements, such as selflessness, fairness and integrity, and how he managed the entire Jingzhou in an orderly manner.

Although Liu Dezhu said he was humble, his flushed face made people know that he was also very happy in his heart.

Of course, as an imperial envoy, Wang Xuan was also flattered.

Some people also asked indirectly why the empress sent him down this time.

On the surface, he pretended to be submissive, saying that he just came here to have fun, and acted like a humble person.

Seeing this, all the officials were relieved.

They were not afraid of officials sent by the court asking for money, but they were most afraid of their righteous words.

It seems that this Prince of Zhenbei was also sent down for show, to gild his gild, and there was no threat.

From then on, everyone completely let go, and the banquet became more lively.

At this time

"Ah!"Ah!"

The maid who served the dishes accidentally stumbled and fell into Wang Xuan's arms.

At the same time, the wine spilled on him.

Wang Xuan's eyes fixed.

Then the maid knelt on the ground in panic and begged for mercy:"I accidentally bumped into you, sir, please forgive me!"

Before Wang Xuan could speak, the official next to him said angrily:"How dare you spill the wine on your highness, someone come! Take him out and beat him with fifty boards!"

The maid's body kept shaking, and she was obviously very scared.

After these fifty boards, will she still be alive?

As soon as the voice fell, the soldiers outside the door came in and were about to take the maid away.

Yao Yue, the owner of Mingyue Tower, heard the sound and hurriedly smiled and said:

"Sir, this little girl is new here and is a bit impatient. Please forgive her."

"How about this, sir, please give me some face and spare her. Today's wine will be mine, okay?"

"My Lord, this......"The official looked back at Liu Dezhu and asked for his opinion.

Liu Dezhu sneered:"Face? You are a prostitute, what face do you have?"

Yao Yue's face darkened.

Usually Liu Dezhu had a good relationship with them, why did he turn hostile today?

"The one you are colliding with is the imperial envoy sent by the court. Are you going to let it go with a banquet?"

Yaoyue's face became more and more ugly. She knew that she would bleed heavily today.

But the other party was an official and she was a commoner, so she could only accept the slaughter.

She felt that it must be because she had used her backstage to reject Liu Dezhu several times, leaving the other party helpless, and now he was using his identity as an imperial envoy to punish her.

Yaoyue endured the humiliation and said calmly:"Okay, what does my lord want me to do?"

"How about this, you accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tonight as an apology, how about it?"

Yao Yue looked at Wang Xuan with a gloomy expression, and finally said:"Okay!"

Liu Dezhu showed pride in his eyes, and then turned to Wang Xuan and said:"Your Highness the Crown Prince, are you satisfied with this arrangement of your subordinate?"

"I am very satisfied with Uncle Liu's arrangement. Let me toast Uncle Liu!" Wang Xuan raised his glass with a smile.

Seeing this, Liu Dezhu was relieved and raised his glass to clink with him.

The two drank it all in one gulp.

A small episode passed just like that.

The banquet continued, and after three rounds of wine, most people were drunk.

Wang Xuan also looked dazed and very drunk.

But Liu Dezhu at this time was still only three-quarters drunk.

At this time, he took the opportunity to say:"Your Highness! We have been drinking for so long, tell me the truth, why did the emperor send you here this time?"

Wang Xuan muttered:"Ha......Brother Liu......Tell you the truth......Emperor's Faction......I come......Just to check...Remnants of witchcraft......Yes, Luodu......There is Jingzhou......The witch here......Remnants......"

It turned out that they were investigating the remnants of the witch cult!

Liu Dezhu breathed a sigh of relief, and he smiled and said,"Don't worry, nephew, under my rule, the remnants of the witch cult will have nowhere to hide. The people in Luodu are definitely not from our Jingzhou side!"

"Really Really......Really?" Wang Xuan continued to mutter.

"Really! If there are any remnants of the witch cult, I will destroy them myself."Liu Dezhu affirmed.

Wang Xuan's eyes flashed with gold, and he knew that Liu Dezhu was telling the truth.

Yes, he had been pretending to sleep, just to pretend to be drunk and get some information.

At present, it seems that Liu Dezhu should not be involved with the witch cult.

But it may also mean that Liu Dezhu, the governor of Jingzhou, has no complete control over the specific situation in Jingzhou.

But it is normal. Looking at the current situation, the officialdom of Jingzhou has long been corrupted.

These officials probably don't know the situation of the people under their command.

It seems that I still have to check it myself. I just don't know if my"stirring up trouble" will work.

But soon, he"passed out drunk".

Seeing this, Liu Dezhu sent someone to send him to the wing room of Mingyue Tower.

At the same time, Yaoyue was also sent in.

After everyone left, Wang Xuan got up from the bed and looked at Yaoyue with a smile.

Yaoyue's face was as red as blood. She walked in front of Wang Xuan and bowed:

"Your subordinate Yaoyue pays homage to His Highness!"
