Sent to search for Du Yang and Hua Jiayu, the secret guards seemed to have disappeared without a trace. In the morning court, Hua Yan let out a long sigh of relief and dismissed several incompetent officials who were receiving salaries but not doing their jobs, which caused a state of panic in the court.

During this period, the Second Prince and the Third Prince had a duel. Unfortunately, in the midst of the battle, one of them accidentally injured the other, causing them to pass away. The Emperor became furious and ordered the execution of all the palace attendants by the side of both princes.

Hua Jiayu was unaware of everything happening in the capital. He was currently in the love nest with Du Yang, crying and screaming, asking to change the location.

Hua Jiayu: "No, it won't do! We must switch! It's too high here, without you, neither of us can go down nor come up!"

Everyone was cheering him on, saying, "I'll be with you all the way."

Hua Jiayu sobbed until she hiccuped, rubbing her eyes. "What if one day you stop loving me and leave me here alone? Wouldn't I starve to death?"

Dou Yang hugged him and changed the subject: "I'll buy you the braised fish from Tianxiang Building for lunch."

When it comes to fish, Hua Jiayu's tears stopped flowing. She held up her fingers and said, "There's also grilled fish, steamed fish, fried fish, and fish with pickled vegetables!"

Du Yang: "Buy buy buy, wait for me, I'll be back soon."

Hua Jiayu nodded, and Dou Yangyi left. He finally remembered that he hadn't finished talking about the Love Nest incident!

Turning his head, he looked sorrowfully at the cave.

A large bed and several wooden cabinets were placed in the room, luxurious woolen blankets were spread on the floor. But even so, he was still not satisfied! Below the entrance of the cave, an infinite cliff stretched out!

Du Yang came back holding a food box and carrying a jar of wine.

Hua Jiayu squinted his eyes and scrutinized Dou Yang suspiciously, saying, "Don't tell me you intentionally made me drink those two times, right?"

Du Yang placed the whole fish banquet on the table and frowned, asking, "In your heart, am I really such a despicable person?"

Hua Jiayu: "..."

As he listened, it seemed like it was his fault...

Upon careful consideration, the original protagonist of the story was an upright boy before turning evil. It is indeed unlikely for him to engage in such depraved acts. He sighed, saying, "I apologize, I was overthinking."

Dou Yang curved his lips and placed a brimming glass of wine in front of him, saying, "The cave is cold and damp. Have a drink to warm your body."

Hua Jiayu took a sip and then ate the fish. After finishing it, he felt a little hot, and then it became so hot that he felt like flying.

He didn't even wash the rice bowls and lifted him up onto the bed.

Hua Jiayu: "!!!" He was certain that the protagonist did it on purpose!

Don't be fooled by the upright appearance of the old cadre during normal times. Once in bed, Huajiayu's fervor becomes overwhelming.

In short, it just feels really uncomfortable.

The sky was dark and hazy. The seductive voice inside the cave finally ceased. Both of them finished their tasks and the young man brushed aside a strand of hair on his face. A hint of blood-red flashed in his eyes. He lifted his head and looked towards the direction of the capital city.

Once a person has strength, the more they recall past humiliations, the more they yearn for revenge.

The scene of imagining the enemy kneeling in front of oneself, crying bitterly and begging for mercy, made the bloodred in Yang's eyes even more intense. At that moment, he even had the urge to pick up the sleeping young man again and make him cry and beg for mercy underneath him.

He took a deep breath and left the cave. His blurred figure resembled a streak of lightning, appearing in the unreachable distance in the next instant.

Dufu Residence.

The emperor was furious, and most of his anger was directed towards the people in the capital, sparing no one, not even those closely related.

Several young gentlemen from prominent families who had just joined the military were appointed as deputy generals in the military supply camp by Duke Du. When the emperor got wind of this, he immediately dismissed them from their positions, publicly berating Duke Du in court and docking his salary for six months. He also barred Duke Du from attending court for a month.

Being scolded in front of his colleagues, Du Jun felt that he had lost face. After returning home, his face was grim. He summoned the sons of those who had been dismissed from their deputy general positions and yelled at them: "I told you to start as junior officers from a young age, but you insisted on becoming deputy generals. Now look what's happened! His Majesty has learned about this matter and thinks that I, Du Mou, have some hidden agenda. He has sent all my sons to the military camp to serve as deputy generals!"

Several young gentlemen lowered their heads and remained unwavering in their hearts.

Although they didn't say anything, Duo Jun insisted on comparing them to Du Yang. This led to the demotion of the original vice general and the placement of them in their positions.
