With the support of the Zhenyuan General and the others, Lu Huan's situation in court was not difficult. On the contrary, his power gradually rose, and he gradually became a new power apart from the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince.

Before he went to Chengzhou, there were already many retainers who wanted to enter his manor. After he made a great contribution to Chengzhou and pleased the Emperor in the Throne Room, the number of officials who came to visit him every day broke the threshold.

These people sent all kinds of gifts. It was fine to send cloud and mist needles, golden eagle corals, and jewelry, but there were even craftsmen who wanted to help him remodel the Princes' manor.

Lu Huan liked peace and quiet, so he did not like large groups of people moving fake mountains into his manor every day. Thus, he kept all of these people at the door.

The Emperor was happy to see this happen. In the Yan Dynasty, there was no law that required the eldest son to inherit the throne. It had always been the most capable. The appearance of a new Ninth Prince aroused the fighting spirit of the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince, which was not necessarily a bad thing. At least, it would allow the Crown Prince to focus more on court affairs and not think that he could easily rule the world just by being mediocre.

After Lu Huan conveyed his birth characters to The Emperor through the Minister of War, the Empress was given the cold shoulder by The Emperor. She knew that if she tried to arrange for people by Lu Huan's side through the consort selection, it would probably anger the Emperor. Thus, she could only give up for now.

After Lu Huan regained his status as the Ninth Princes, there were many officials in the capital who came to discuss marriage. However, after the Empress and the Crown Prince did not make a move, these people who had broken through the threshold of the Ninth Princes' manor gradually disappeared.

Lu Huan could finally have some peace and quiet in his manor.

Using this opportunity, he took care of a lot of government affairs and also took the time to receive new missions from the system.

Recently, there had been a few robberies and robberies caused by bandits causing trouble in the capital.

If these had happened in the provinces, they would have been normal civil cases. However, because it happened right under the Emperor's nose and the Empress Dowager had almost fainted a few days ago when she went to pay her respects to Buddha, the Emperor ordered all of the officials to quickly take care of the matter.

Arresting a few bandits and sending them to prison was a very simple matter. The capital governor only needed to send a few people to do it.

However, if he wanted to solve the problem at its root, he would have to thoroughly investigate the capital's major gambling houses and brothels, as well as the outer city's eastern and western markets where Hu merchants frequented.

The management of these places was chaotic, and most of the bandits who frequently caused trouble were hiding in these places.

However, even if they thoroughly investigated these places, they wouldn't be able to tell who was a normal citizen and who was a criminal before the bandits started causing trouble.

After a while, the Ministry of Justice and the Capital Magistrate could not come to a decision and quarreled in the throne room.

In just two days, there were two more murders in the capital.

Mission 17 issued by the system was related to this. [Please accept Mission 17: The frequent murders in the capital have caused panic among the citizens. Please think of a way to reduce the crime rate as soon as possible and push this to the various provinces!

Reward: Gold Coins + 3,000, Reward Points + 15.]

After Lu Huan accepted this mission, he didn't act rashly.

First, he had his subordinates go to the Supreme Court to retrieve the files of the criminals who had committed murders and been sent to prison. He wanted to see what the reason was.

Recently, the Fifth Prince had the intention of fighting with him. On the surface, the Emperor had handed this matter to the Fifth Prince, so he couldn't openly investigate the case. Thus, he had his subordinates go to the Minister of War's residence and take a detour to obtain the files.

When the files were presented, Lu Huan spent the entire night flipping through them and had a rough idea of what was going on.

Before daybreak, he had someone send the files back. At the same time, he gave some orders to his subordinates.

Su Xi turned on his phone and saw that he was handling government affairs. He knew that he was probably investigating Mission 17.

Su Xi was lazy and didn't plan on participating.

In any case, no matter what happened, he would handle it well.

In the past, Su Xi was very nervous about everything and had to help out because of his motherly mentality. He always felt worried about Zaizai and was afraid that he would get hurt.

However, after the battle in the north, Su Xi realized that he didn't need him for these things anymore.

Especially now that they were in the capital. Even if the Fifth Prince and the Crown Prince didn't like Zaizai, they couldn't assassinate him right under the Emperor's nose.

In terms of scheming, how could they win against Zaizai? It was hard to say who would kill who.

Thus, Su Xi didn't have the chance to worry.

When she was in the north, she was sad and depressed because of this and felt that Zaizai didn't need her anymore. However, now Su Xi had successfully adjusted her mentality from being a mother fan to a girlfriend fan. Wasn't it good that her boyfriend was capable and responsible and didn't need her to worry?!

Wasn't it good to lick his face more?!

In fact, Su Xi was very happy to watch palace and political dramas, but when she really got involved, she was dumbfounded and her brain wasn't enough. So anyway, the other half of her family was smart, and her other half was just a salted fish lying down.

Lu Huan's matters still needed to wait. He didn't need to go to court every day. Thus, during the day, after he finished dealing with government affairs in the morning, he got off work and told the guards outside not to let anyone in. He planned to take a nap, but as soon as he turned around, he came to Su Xi's side.

Su Xi's parents weren't at home. Su Xi was quietly opening a package in her room. When she saw Lu Huan, her eyes lit up and she said mysteriously to him, "Come, help me open the package."

Lu Huan lifted his robe and squatted down beside her. He turned a box in front of him and looked at the shipping address.

The shipping address was two provinces away, which was almost a few thousand kilometers away from Su Xi's house. He couldn't help but sigh, "I bought it the day before yesterday and it arrived today. It's so fast."

Su Xi put down the scissors in her hand and looked at him, "Lu Huan, how did you know I bought it the day before yesterday?

You peeked at me again! "

This was the bad thing about a two-way video. They could see each other anytime and anywhere.

When Su Xi found out that Lu Huan could see her as soon as he opened the curtain, her cheeks burned. She insisted on washing her hair for several days. Every day, she sat on the sofa obediently and tried her best to be a delicate girl.

However, she couldn't hold on for four days … It was too damn tiring to maintain her image … She returned to her lazy self of lying on the sofa and eating potato chips.

For this reason, she forced Lu Huan not to open the curtain and look at her whenever he wanted. If he wanted to look, he had to tell her in advance. At the very least, he had to let her rush into the bathroom and put some makeup on her face!

Lu Huan didn't expect that he would accidentally let it slip. He was suddenly speechless.

Su Xi was so angry that she curled up into a ball, "And it was during court!"

She bought clothes for Lu Huan and wanted to give him a surprise. She didn't want him to see her through the curtain, so she specifically picked a time when it was impossible for him to open the curtain during court.

Lu Huan tore open the package in front of him with his bare hands. He looked up and said with some grievance, "The court officials are quarreling in the throne room. It's really a headache."

It was so noisy that his head was buzzing. He just wanted to open the curtain and see what she was doing for some peace and quiet.

Su Xi threw the package aside and took out more than a dozen clothes inside. She said with annoyance, "But this way, I can't give you a surprise at all."

Lu Huan saw her take out the clothes and his eyes suddenly widened in surprise. He revealed a happy expression and asked in surprise, "Xiao Xi, did you buy these for me?!"

Su Xi, "…"

Su Xi was amused by his deliberately bright eyes. She punched him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, stop pretending."

Lu Huan saw her smile and laughed as well.

He saw Su Xi squatting on the ground and couldn't help but pull her up, saying, "Sit on the bed. Be careful of your legs."

Su Xi wouldn't have felt it if he didn't say it. As soon as she stood up, she felt that her legs were indeed numb. She sat down on the bed, but the more she sat down, the more her legs seemed to be covered with pockmarks from her toes to her knees. Su Xi couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Are they really numb?"

Lu Huan helped her stand up and let her walk a few steps. After she recovered a little, he let her sit down on the bed. Taking advantage of the situation, he squatted down in front of her. His left hand pressed on her ankle, his right hand took off her slippers, and he gently rubbed the Yongquan acupoint on her foot.

Su Xi was a little embarrassed, but he didn't use too much strength. It was very comfortable to be pressed, as if it could even relieve her many years of dysmenorrhea. She couldn't help but turn her face away.

After a while, Su Xi pulled her leg out and said to him, "Quickly try it."

Lu Huan turned his head and looked at the clothes on the ground. He was moved and turned back to ask her, "So you measured my size that day for this."

"Why else?" Su Xi said with a smile.

Lu Huan was still squatting in front of her. "When I was still in Prince Ning Fu, I suddenly saw a row of cloaks in the shabby wardrobe one day. At that time, I wondered who was secretly helping me.

At that time, I couldn't imagine that it was someone from another world, and I couldn't imagine your appearance. "

When he said this, Su Xi's gaze couldn't help but fall on a small part of his collarbone that was exposed by his lapel. There was a shallow whip scar there.

Su Xi said with a smile, "Nonsense. Do you think I didn't know what you were thinking at that time? You were obviously very vigilant and thought that the person who sent you those things was a big bad guy."

Lu Huan heard her words and smiled.

Su Xi saw his beautiful smile and her heart rippled, but at the same time, she felt a little sad. She opened her arms and said to Lu Huan, "Give me a hug."

Su Xi was so excited that Lu Huan didn't react. His ears suddenly turned red. "Why do you suddenly want a hug?"

Su Xi flew into a rage out of humiliation. "Hurry up. Do you want a hug or not? If you don't want a hug, then forget it."

Before she finished speaking, Lu Huan suddenly stood up and bent down to hug her. Su Xi sat on the bed and was pressed back slightly by him. Her waist was a little uncomfortable and she let out a soft groan.

Lu Huan could feel it, so he turned over and sat down on the edge of the bed. He grabbed Su Xi's waist and easily put her on his lap.

He hugged Su Xi tightly and buried his head in her neck.

Su Xi felt the beating of a heart in the chest of the youth who was close to her. She felt his happiness and comfort. It had nothing to do with any desire. He was simply hugging his one and only.

Su Xi put her hand on Lu Huan's neck and said, "It's all in the past."

Lu Huan shook his head and said, "You don't have to comfort me. I don't think that time was bitter."

Su Xi asked, "Why?"

Lu Huan said, "I only suffered some physical pain in the first fourteen years. And now I almost can't remember what happened. I feel like my life started when there was suddenly more water in my teapot on a snowy night.

After that, my happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy began to become clear.

As for before … before, how many servants Prince Ning Fu had and what they looked like, I didn't pay attention to them at all.

But, if it was possible, the curtain would have appeared in front of me earlier. "

Su Xi was puzzled. She raised her head from Lu Huan's chest and looked at him.

Lu Huan also raised his head and looked down at her. He smiled and said, "I want to help you run the 800 meters a few more times and secretly put some pocket money in your pocket."

"Pocket money?!" Su Xi's eyes suddenly lit up. "You have to keep your word!

I spent a lot of money buying clothes for you. I'm almost broke. "

Lu Huan reached into his bosom and fished around. Suddenly, he fished out a card from the Construction Bank and handed it to her.

Su Xi was confused.

Lu Huan said, "I have an ID card and opened an account. This is a bank card. There should be …"

Lu Huan asked someone to help him resell some silver taels and gemstones of unknown age. The money was all transferred into the card. He didn't remember how many digits there were, but it should be more than six digits.

He said, "There should be some money. The password is your birthday. You can go take a look another day."

Su Xi suddenly jumped up from his chest, her eyes filled with excitement. That's right. Why didn't she think that Lu Huan could casually bring something from ancient times and sell it for a lot of money? The game system was his biological father. Why was he able to transmigrate for two hundred points while she had to wait for three hundred points to go over?!

"Buy a phone!"

Su Xi dragged Lu Huan out and said excitedly, "Let's buy a phone when we have money. I'll teach you more functions first. Don't learn from Huo Jingchuan. I'm afraid he'll teach you bad things."

Lu Huan smiled and said helplessly, "Change your clothes first."

"Yes, yes, yes." Su Xi was already dizzy from the unexpected windfall.

She held the card happily and said, "Change quickly. I'll turn around!"

"Which one do you want to wear?"

Lu Huan looked at the pile of unopened clothes on the floor. These short-sleeved sweaters looked about the same in his eyes, and he couldn't tell the style of the clothes.

"The temperature seems to be lower today …" Su Xi turned around and picked out a black skeleton knight sweater, a pair of light-colored pants, and a pair of white sneakers for him.

She handed them to him excitedly, then closed the door and went out. Su Xi was a little excited. It was her favorite part again, the part where she watched her boyfriend cross-dress.

After a while, the door opened.

Lu Huan tidied up the pile of parcels on the floor and put them at the foot of the bed. Then he compressed the package into a pile and walked out with it.

"You're done?" Su Xi looked at him with shining eyes.

His black hair was like a waterfall. It was too long, and he couldn't cut it short at this time. After all, he still had to go back to the Yan Dynasty to deal with government affairs.

So he could only take a cap from the parcel and put it on.

Fortunately, his nose bridge was high and straight, and his handsome face made it impossible for people to mistake his gender.

It was the first time Su Xi saw Lu Huan dressed like this. He was 1.85 meters tall and wore an oversized sweater with clean white sneakers. He had broad shoulders and long legs, and he looked like a young idol walking in an airport fashion show. No matter where he stood in the crowd, he would definitely stand out.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Huan saw that Su Xi couldn't take her eyes off him and was a little embarrassed. He wasn't used to the attire of this dynasty, especially the two big shiny skulls on his chest. He didn't know what kind of aesthetic aesthetic it was, but it was Su Xi who bought it, so he couldn't show any prejudice.

"So handsome." Su Xi's eyes lit up.

Lu Huan knew that half of the reason she liked him was probably because of his face, so he was naturally willing to show his face in front of her.

But he didn't like being stared at by people outside, so he frowned slightly and considered whether he should go out and buy a mask.

However, before he could ask, he saw Su Xi suddenly running into his arms excitedly and throwing herself into his arms.

"Wuwuwu, you're so handsome. I like you so much." Su Xi hugged his waist and didn't let go, rubbing her head in his arms.

Lu Huan: "…"

He had completely forgotten what he wanted to say just now.
