The Li family's Patriarch suddenly became a fool.

"Become a fool?" Su He was playing chess with Li Yuyan when he heard the news. He looked at the eunuch and asked, "What happened?"

"It was said that the Li family's Patriarch fell down from the stage in the middle of the night and then stunned everyone." The eunuch wiped the sweat from his forehead. Who didn't know that His Majesty valued the empress? And the empress came from the Li family as well, so this matter couldn't be forgiven.

"This Emperor understands, you may leave." Su He enviously and flatly chased the eunuch out.

Just like that?

"Hmm?" Su He looked at the person who stayed behind with a faint smile. "Is there anything else?"

"Your servant leaves, your servant leaves." The eunuch left in a hurry.

"It was Jade Smoke who did this." Su He enviously asked Li Yuyan after the eunuch left.

"Your Majesty, please don't wrongly accuse this official." Li Yuyan looked at Tang Ming and said, "You'll have to ask as usual."

"Hmm?" Su He was envious as he followed Li Yuyan's gaze towards Tang Ming.

"Some special interrogation techniques, the consequences will make people stupid." Tang Ming gave a simple explanation and then stared at a chess piece. "Your Majesty, you have been given a general."

Su He immediately reacted enviously and quickly looked back at the game of chess. Li Yuyan pulled her blue cloak over her head, and the shattered jade on her cloak also moved with Li Yuyan's movements. She still had that harmless look on her face as she said, "Sorry, Your Majesty."

"You also know that you will offend me!" Su He gritted his teeth in envy.

Actually, it wasn't Su He's fault for being envious. Who could still calm down after losing seven consecutive rounds?

"Your Majesty, the fish have already taken the bait." Li Yuyan put the black and white pieces one by one into their respective plates. She smiled and said enviously to Su He, "It's about time you let Ru Yue go. After all, like His Majesty said, people in the martial arts world shouldn't get involved in national affairs."

Tang Ming paused for a moment, then hesitantly said, "I don't feel like I'm involved."

"That's because things haven't started yet." Li Yuyan interrupted Tang Ming's thoughts and looked at him.

"What happened after, you shouldn't have gotten involved." Li Yuyan looked at Su He enviously. "What does Your Majesty think?"

Su He narrowed his eyes in envy of the danger. Li Yuyan was completely unafraid.

"Fine." Su He was the first to speak. He turned to Tang Ming and said, "Young Master Tang, should I send someone to the treasury later to deliver the treasure map to Tang Ming, or should Young Master Tang fetch it himself?"

"I'll go get it myself." Tang Ming slightly creased his brow. It wasn't that he couldn't trust Su He's admiration, but rather, he had to confirm that the treasure map in the palace was the one he wanted.

If that wasn't the case, Tang Ming could only admit his misfortune.

"After you get the map, quickly leave the capital. The sooner the better, do you understand?" Li Yuyan put away all the chess pieces, looked at Tang Ming, and said, "No matter what news you hear, don't go back to the capital. If possible, can you gather at Blossom Valley next May?"

"Alright." Tang Ming didn't object. With regards to the imperial government's machinations, Tang Ming was completely confused and didn't know what was going on. Adding on his identity, there were even fewer places for Tang Ming to execute his punches and kicks.

It could be said that his hands and feet were tied. Although he couldn't say that he was feeling aggrieved, there was always a feeling that he was useless.

Tang Ming was not stupid. On the contrary, he was very smart. He could naturally see that Su He was trying to drag Tang Ming away from the capital on purpose. Tang Ming also did not expose him.

Rather than saying that Su He had used some tricks to keep Tang Ming, it would be better to say that the two of them were Zhou Yu and were willing to take a beating.

"Little Senior Brother!" Li Jiao's gorgeous attire was slightly old-fashioned, but it was forcefully diluted by her candid smile.

Su He was so envious that his heart was about to explode when he saw Li Jiao wholeheartedly throw herself at Tang Ming. He just wanted to show his face and bear the pain. He snorted coldly, "You don't deserve it."

"What kind of etiquette do I want? In two years, I'll be able to leave the palace. Who cares about etiquette, I won't learn it."

Su He's envious expression darkened once more.

It was already depressing for the emperor to be able to do this. The key was that Su He was truly envious. He didn't dare to let her go, afraid that the duck would fly away without even looking back once he let it go.

"Your Majesty, I'll go to the treasury now to retrieve the items." Tang Ming took out the arm that Li Jiao was holding. Regarding Su He's envious of Li Jiao's relationship with him, Tang Ming didn't want to get involved in it at all.

Su He's eyes shone with envy. Tang Ming took the treasure map and thought that he would leave right away. Tang Ming leaving meant that the empress wouldn't have face with Tang Ming again … Alright, Tang Ming, who still had some skill, wandered around.

In other words, the Queen belonged to him alone.

"I'll send you off as usual." Li Yuyan couldn't wait to leave as well. Tang Ming looked at Su He and Li Jiao and agreed expressionlessly.

"Yuyan gege, I've never blamed anyone." Tang Ming and Li Yuyan instantly understood what Li Jiao had suddenly said.

Li Jiao's marriage to Su He could be said to have been caused by Li Yuyan. Although Tang Ming didn't know what Li Yuyan was thinking, there were many times when Li Yuyan's gaze towards Li Jiao was filled with guilt.

Li Yuyan gave a deep glance at Li Jiao before bowing and bowing. "The Empress is blessed."

In the treasury, Tang Ming looked at Li Yuyan who had already calmed down and asked, "Yuyan seems to care a lot about the Empress."

"Yes, I do care, but I won't stop planning because of that." Li Yuyan looked at Tang Ming, her eyes shining brilliantly. "A scholar studying the Book of Virtue should benefit the common people."

Tang Ming didn't continue. Instead, he pulled out a map and dropped a piece of paper filled with words.

For a moment, Tang Ming was extremely curious about how this piece of paper could appear in the treasury, so he picked it up and roughly looked at it. After reading it, Tang Ming became silent.

"What's wrong?" Li Yuyan noticed that something was wrong with Tang Ming and came over to find out that it was actually a written agreement.

The main thing was that Su He and Li Jiao were willing to love each other in front of everyone, but they couldn't be too intimate in private. It lasted for seven years, and after seven years, they would split up and go their separate ways.

Tang Ming felt that the thing on it was probably something that Su He envied and Li Jiao came up with together. This was probably the "seven years" that Li Jiao often spoke of.

"I feel that His Majesty should be regretting it so much that his intestines are tied up now." Tang Ming's words were very calm. He didn't care about the contents of the paper at all and put it back where it came from.

Li Yuyan responded with a "hmm". His Majesty was more than regretting it.

He probably wished that he could go back and chop himself into pieces.
