Mother Su was still urging her. Su Xi was afraid that her mother would become impatient and suddenly enter the room to grab someone, so she could only quickly rush out.

Lu Huan watched her close the door and leave.

After a long time, he was still standing in her room. His mind was filled with Su Xi's words and his heart was beating wildly.

He wanted to ask her what she meant, but when he heard her parents' voices and the sound of the television being turned on, he knew that this was not the right time.

Su Xi pulled out a chair at the dining table and sat down. She patted her slightly hot cheeks before picking up the bowl and chopsticks.

Hiding someone in the room was simply making his heart beat faster!

Mother Su knew her daughter best. Mother Su felt that Su Xi was strange, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly what was strange. She looked at her and asked, "What did you do in the afternoon?

Did you play games all afternoon? "

Su Xi ate a mouthful of white rice and said restlessly, "I went out to get my phone."

Mother Su asked again, "Why is your face so red?"

Su Xi was startled and didn't dare to raise her head. She tried her best to calm down and said, "The sun was too strong in the afternoon, so I basked in it for a while."

Mother Su looked at her suspiciously, but couldn't see anything strange. She picked up some food with her chopsticks and said, "Eat more."

When Lu Huan disappeared the day before yesterday, he was standing behind a screen in the conference room of Chengzhou's government office, waiting for the Chengzhou Provincial Governor and two other subordinates to come and report.

Along the way, the Chengzhou Provincial Governor had prepared countless flattering and grateful words in his mind and memorized them by heart. Just as he was about to kowtow to the Ninth Princes to express his gratitude, who would have thought that when he pushed open the door, he would find that the conference room was empty!

The Ninth Prince, who had informed them to bring the supervisor and account books, was actually not there.

The guards outside the conference room also said that after the Ninth Princes entered the conference room, he never came out.

Could it be that the Ninth Princes had disappeared into thin air?

Everyone in Chengzhou's government office was suddenly anxious. They were afraid that something would happen to the Ninth Princes, who was currently in power in the capital. If that happened, it wouldn't be just a matter of exterminating the Ninth Prince's family!

When Lu Huan came to Chengzhou, he brought along a group of Yulin guards.

The Chengzhou Provincial Governor was afraid that he wouldn't be able to keep his head, so he didn't dare to tell his subordinates. He only dared to delay the matter while secretly sending people to search for him!

Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, the Chengzhou provincial governor was frantic. Only then did he suddenly hear a report from the yamen that the Nine Princes had returned from their investigation.

Only then did the Chengzhou Provincial Governor put his head back on his neck and hurriedly went to pay his respects.

Thus, it was a complete mess.

Thanks to the Chengzhou Provincial Governor's concealment, only a few other guards knew that Lu Huan had disappeared for no reason.

After Lu Huan returned, he hurriedly changed his clothes. Only then did he open the door and summon someone. He told the Chengzhou Provincial Governor that he had gone to investigate something. These guards thought that their eyes were playing tricks on them. His Highness the Ninth Prince had clearly gone out, but they had been dozing off and hadn't seen him.

Thus, the matter was put to rest.

"It's good that you're back."

The Chengzhou Provincial Governor wiped away his cold sweat and said, "What does Your Highness want to investigate in the future? Why do you need to do it yourself?

Just order your subordinates around.

When you weren't here for two days, this official was so anxious that he almost lost his mind! "

Lu Huan asked, "Two days?"

The Chengzhou Provincial Governor said, "Yes, it's been two whole days."

Lu Huan paused and said, "If there's nothing else, you can leave."

Only then did the Chengzhou Provincial Governor let out a sigh of relief and leave.

After sending everyone out and leaving no one in the room, Lu Huan sat down behind the table and opened the screen like before. This time, after more than ten days, the screen finally appeared again.

Everything on the interface was the same as before. There wasn't much difference.

Only then did Lu Huan relax.

However, as the Chengzhou Provincial Governor said, he had only been gone for two days.

That was to say, after two hundred hours, the time flow in his and Xiao Xi's world seemed to have changed again.

Now, it should have completely changed into the same flow of time.

Lu Huan was a little happy. He had previously thought that if time flowed crazily on his side while time flowed extremely slowly on Xiao Xi's side, wouldn't that mean that Xiao Xi was still young while he was already old?

But now, it seemed that after two hundred hours, the passage between the two worlds would be completely opened, and the time in the two worlds would finally be the same.

The last problem was how to go to her world in the future —

There was no one around. Lu Huan couldn't help but get up and walk towards the screen.

In the past, whenever he tried to pass through the curtain, he would always end up in thin air. But now, Lu Huan looked at the curtain in surprise. It was as if it had turned into an invisible door. The moment he stepped in, he was back in her room.

At this moment, the sound of her television, the sound of dishes being washed, and her mother's voice could be heard in the living room outside.

These sounds were so vivid and real that he clearly knew that she was in the living room just a wall away.

Lu Huan was suddenly ecstatic!

He turned around and returned to his world again. Then, he turned around and stepped into her world again.

After going back and forth several times, he finally confirmed that as long as the screen didn't disappear, he could easily come to her world!

All of this was a great fortune for Lu Huan. He was very grateful to the screen that connected his world with hers. He opened the mission system again, wanting to see if there were any more missions after two hundred points.

A line of text quickly popped up on the interface, accompanied by a familiar mechanical voice.

[Please continue to receive Mission 16 (Advanced): Please promote the Yan Dynasty to complete the law of reducing taxes on corvee.

The reward is 3,000 gold coins and 15 points!]

In recent years, the Yan Dynasty's treasury had been relatively empty. However, whether it was for disaster relief or for war, they needed gold, silver, and grain. Therefore, The Emperor had issued several imperial edicts to increase taxes. As a result, the people's resentment accumulated, and they lamented. It was a vicious cycle.

If this problem was to be solved, the officials who filled the pockets of the people had to be found.

But in this way, it would inevitably involve various powers. Pulling one hair would affect the whole body. He was afraid that this would lead to a rebellion.

What's more, the Yan Dynasty had a vast territory. Excluding the capital, there were a total of seventy provinces. Under each province, there were more than ten small counties. There were thousands of officials in the court. If he investigated them one by one, he didn't know where to start.

The missions issued by the system were progressive. For the country and for the people.

However, Lu Huan was surprised. There was actually a mission?

Then, after completing three hundred points, would there be a third gift package?

As if it knew what he was thinking, another line of text popped up on the screen. ['Seventeen year old Lu Huan, who can already marry and have children.' Please work hard to complete the mission. After three hundred points, there will be a third gift package. The transmigration channel will become two-way.]

Two-way?

That meant that right now, only he could go from his world to her world. But if he reached three hundred points, she could also come to his world?

Lu Huan's emotions surged. He urgently wanted to tell her. He subconsciously entered her room through the screen.

However, the room was empty. She seemed to have just finished eating dinner and was still in the living room.

Suddenly, he heard her mother's footsteps outside her room. Lu Huan quickly returned to his room.

Chengzhou was located in the hinterland of the Yan Dynasty. It was connected to the nine provinces and had always been rich. However, because it was close to the Yangtze River, it was very prone to floods in the summer when there was heavy rain.

This time, if Lu Huan hadn't found out in advance and written a letter, he would have rushed to Chengzhou.

Before the flood caused a disaster, he would have deployed officials to check along the river and strengthen the dikes.

Afterwards, he would have evacuated the population and diverted water for irrigation.

He was afraid that Chengzhou would have suffered even greater natural and man-made disasters.

Thus, Lu Huan could be considered to have made a great contribution.

At this time, Chengzhou was deeply grateful. There was a lot of discussion in the capital.

Previously, Lu Huan had rushed to Chengzhou and missed the imperial edict to select a consort for him. Since he missed it, there was no disrespect. Instead, the eunuch was late. When he returned to the palace, he would probably be scolded by the empress.

However, his matters in Chengzhou were more or less finished. His subordinates had sent him a letter to return to the capital.

When he returned to the capital, the emperor would be overjoyed and would definitely bring up the matter of selecting a consort again.

At that time, if he found an excuse to refuse, he would really be disobeying the imperial edict.

Other than Su Xi, Lu Huan always stayed far away from the women he parted with. Even the servant girls sent by the empress were sent to a place where they couldn't be seen because he didn't want to see them and didn't want to worry about them.

Instead, he was more afraid of Su Xi opening the original painting. He excitedly stared at the slightly more handsome yulin guards and the slightly more beautiful servant girls.

Thus, he wanted to be surrounded by ugly people and dwarfs. He wanted to be the only handsome person.

Naturally, he had never thought about taking a wife or concubines, let alone selecting a consort.

The empress did her best to facilitate the selection of a consort for him. Before Su Xi said anything, he had already planned to think of a way to refuse. Even if he disobeyed the imperial edict, he had to think of a way.

Thus, a few days ago, before he went to her world, he had already written a letter and had one of his more trusted yulin guards rush back to the capital to deliver it to the Minister of War.

At the time, other than the Daoist nun in the Monastery of Eternal Spring, no one else knew about Lu Huan's birth time.

He needed the Minister of War to find that Daoist nun and have her change his birth date and eight characters slightly before spreading it out.

The Emperor was old and was more knowledgeable.

He would order the Daoist priest in the palace to calculate Lu Huan's fate. Before the age of twenty, it would be unsuitable for him to marry.

In this way, the matter could be turned into a small matter and a small matter into nothing. For the next three years, the empress wouldn't be able to make a fuss about it.

If it wasn't for the fact that an even more ferocious fate would provoke criticism from the courtiers and be counted as a fate that would lead him to spend the rest of his life alone and unable to marry, he wouldn't care.

However, he had already made all the necessary arrangements. After three years, the empress might not have the ability to interfere in this matter in front of him.

But he hadn't thought that before he came back, Xiao Xi would say those words to him.

She said that he wasn't allowed to choose a consort.

Lu Huan thought back to Su Xi's words. His heart was filled with nervousness and apprehension … What did she mean by those words? Did she mean what he thought she meant?

Should he ask and ask more clearly?

But what if she said those words just because she didn't want him to be manipulated by the empress?

She didn't have any special meaning. If he tried to be clever and ended up making a fool of himself, wouldn't that be embarrassing?

Lu Huan's thoughts ran wild. One moment, his body was boiling hot, and the next moment, it was like a bucket of cold water had been poured over him. Over and over again, his mood fluctuated. A moment later, he couldn't help but push open the door and go to the courtyard. He watched the moonlight shine on the stone tiles and felt the cold wind blow for a while.

But in any case, now that the two worlds were connected, he could freely go to her world. This was enough to make him ecstatic.

After Lu Huan calmed down, he thought to himself that if he went to her world often in the future, he must have a foothold there.

In the words of her world, "he must have a house and a carriage."

He had already discovered that the banknotes on his side were completely useless in her world. She had another set of banknotes on her side as currency.

However, the gold, silver, and jewelry of the two worlds could be used.

Most of the silver in his residence was official silver. If it appeared in her world, it would probably be discovered that it came from a thousand years ago. Thus, he could only bring some ordinary gold and silver to her world and exchange it for her world's currency.

Money could make ghosts turn millstones. Her world should be no exception.

When he went back, he should think of a way to get a card that was called an "identity card" in her world.

In the past two days, Lu Huan hadn't been around, so there was a lot of government affairs to deal with. He lit a candle and dealt with them one by one.

By the time he finished piling up the last book, the moon was already high in the sky outside the window.

Lu Huan put down the brush, sat on the bed, and opened the curtain.

At this time, it was already late at night in Su Xi's world. She had already put on soft and comfortable cotton pajamas and was curled up into a ball under the air-conditioned blanket.

Lu Huan quietly watched her for a while. His somewhat chaotic thoughts finally calmed down a bit.

He saw Su Xi moving around on the bed as if she wasn't sleeping peacefully. He kicked the blanket away, exposing her lower abdomen and waist.

A small corner of her pajamas was slightly lifted, revealing a bit of her white skin.

Lu Huan's ears were slightly red. He didn't dare to look, but when he looked up at the air-conditioner blowing cold air at her, he couldn't help but step into her room.

He walked to her bedside, leaned over, and gently tucked her in.

After tucking her in, Lu Huan relaxed. He turned around to leave, but someone grabbed his wide sleeve.

After Su Xi finished her dinner and took a shower, she opened the game and saw a series of messages pop up on the system interface. She knew that after two hundred points, Lu Huan should be able to freely come to her world. She was so excited that she couldn't sleep.

She originally wanted to talk to Lu Huan, but when she saw that he was concentrating on government affairs, she wanted to wait until he was done. Who knew that she would fall asleep on the bed.

However, because she didn't sleep very deeply, she woke up easily.

"You're here."

Su Xi wrapped herself in the air-conditioned blanket and sat up. She rubbed her eyes and looked at Lu Huan with a burning gaze. She was a little excited and lowered her voice. "I saw the system prompt after three hundred points. What does the gift pack after three hundred points mean?

Could it be that I can go to your world too? "

Lu Huan was pulled to sit beside her. He smiled and said, "It should be."

Su Xi suddenly became even more excited and beamed.

The room wasn't completely dark. The curtains were open and the moonlight outside flowed in, so the two of them spoke quietly. At such a close distance, they could still see each other clearly.

Lu Huan's gaze fell on Su Xi's long black hair that draped over her fair neck. Her pajamas had long sleeves, but it was very thin. She pulled him with one hand and propped herself up on the bed with the other. She drew a little rabbit pajamas, outlining her figure.

Lu Huan's throat tightened. He almost didn't dare to look again. He hurriedly looked away and looked at the floor.

However, Su Xi was afraid that if they spoke in the room, her parents in the master bedroom would hear them. So, she shifted on the bed with her knees and moved closer to Lu Huan. She whispered like a thief, "I didn't have time to ask you. How did you deal with the consort selection?"

Lu Huan's voice was a little hoarse as he explained.

After hearing this, Su Xi felt uncomfortable and whispered, "But if that's the case … your birthday in Prince Ning Fu wasn't your real birthday. Now that you've recovered your identity, you can't celebrate your real birthday …"

Lu Huan's heart was moved. In this world, she was probably the only one who cared about his lonely birthday.

He raised his eyes to look at her. The two of them were whispering to each other, as if they were talking about a secret in the dead of night. However, they were too close to each other, and the girl's soft body was just inches away from him. Lu Huan felt his body heat up, and he hastily looked at the floor again.

Su Xi found it strange. She elbowed him and asked with concern, "Why do you keep looking at the floor? Is there something on the floor in my room?"

Lu Huan didn't know how to answer. He hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll go back first. Xiao Xi, have a good rest."

Lu Huan was a little annoyed that he woke her up in the middle of the night. Originally, it was rude of him to suddenly break into a woman's boudoir in the middle of the night.

However, in Su Xi's eyes, etiquette, justice, integrity, and shame didn't exist at all. Therefore, she looked at Lu Huan in confusion. She didn't know why he suddenly wanted to leave when they were talking so nicely.

"Don't." Su Xi was a little dissatisfied. She grabbed his sleeve and said, "I can't sleep. Can't we talk for a while?"

Lu Huan looked at her kneeling on the bed. His heart was like boiling hot water. He repeatedly thought about her words, 'You're not allowed to choose concubines.' He couldn't calm down.

Finally, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Before I went back, why did you say that?"

Su Xi suddenly remembered. Yes, after she struggled in her heart for a while, she made up her mind. She thought that she had made it clear by saying that sentence. However, he didn't seem to be sure. He was still worried about personal gains and losses.

Perhaps it was because she kept retreating, making him unsure.

Su Xi suddenly jumped off the bed and stood in front of Lu Huan.

She stood on her tiptoes and leaned close to his cheek. She gently pecked him and said with a smile, "I've already taken advantage of you to this extent. Don't you understand?"

The soft touch on his cheek was fleeting.

Lu Huan's eyes suddenly widened. A trace of disbelief flashed through his pupils. For a moment, he wondered if he was dreaming or something.

How could he get what he had always desired?

God had never favored him like this.

However, when the moonlight fell on her face, it was clearly real.

He stared at Su Xi in a daze. His eyes were gradually dyed with some suppressed ecstasy.

After a while, he said in a hoarse voice, half pleading, half restraining himself, "I don't understand … Xiao Xi, can you make it clearer?"
