Chapitre 125

"Is that so?" He gave a cold laugh, his tone clearly showing disbelief.

The kneeling man in black did not answer again, but simply lowered his head to the ground.

He squinted at the man in black on the ground, then let out a cold snort, his figure blurring as he vanished from his spot in the blink of an eye…

Slowly raising his head, looking at the spot where the gust of wind had just swept through, a hint of melancholy and confusion appeared in the eyes of the kneeling man in black...

"Hey Ye Fan, where are you taking me in this rush?"

She had just finished reviewing the memorials and was on her way to visit Consort Dong at Guanju Palace when Ye Fan, who had inexplicably gone mad, grabbed her and dragged her out of the palace without a word. She quickly looked around; thankfully, Tuoba Chen wasn't there, otherwise, if he had seen them, she and Ye Fan would have been in deep trouble!

Let's go for a drink!

"Drinking?!" Rongyue's pupils widened.

With a sidelong glance at the surprised Rongyue, he said, "What, I just want to reminisce about those days in the military camp when we drank and sang together, is that not allowed?"

"Why not!" Rongyue patted his shoulder and said boldly, "To be honest, I really miss those days! How heroic and magnanimous we were! Just thinking about it makes my blood boil!"

"If that's the case, then what are we waiting for?"

What are we waiting for?

The two exchanged a glance, raised their eyebrows at each other, and then, as if on cue, shouted at the same time, "Charge!"

Like two arrows released from a bow, they sped swiftly toward the palace gate with unstoppable force!

When the guards saw the two rushing towards them, they first raised their spears and stood ready. But when they saw the two men clearly, they were shocked and quickly put away their spears. They were about to kneel down to pay their respects, but before their knees could touch the ground, the two men had already rushed out of the palace gate.

Supporting herself on her knees, Rongyue gasped for breath, looking up at Ye Fan with a hopeless expression: "Still... a step behind me! Ye Fan... you're really lame!"

"His Majesty's skills are still sharp, and his valor is as undiminished as ever!"

"Same as always, the slowest person pays!"

"Tch! Even as emperor, he's still so stingy! That's really not fair!"

He chuckled and hooked his arm around Ye Fan's shoulder: "That's what happens when we're buddies! Buddies don't stand on ceremony!"

"Dude..." Ye Fan was momentarily dazed.

Looking suspiciously at Ye Fan, whose face looked unwell, Rong Yue waved her hand in front of him: "What's wrong?"

"Ha, what else could it be! Of course, I was scared by you! If that jealous man saw us like this, I reckon the Loulan palace would have its first-ever eunuch!"

With a chuckle, Rongyue playfully punched him: "You're quite the character! Ye Fan, to be honest, you really are a humorous person. Being with you always makes me feel inexplicably relaxed. You give me a very warm feeling, just like in my past life... ha, just like my buddy..."

"I... am not worthy..."

"Huh? What did you say?"

"Ha, I said I wouldn't dare! You know, that jealous person is incredibly jealous!"

"screw you!"

"Hurry up and go, come back sooner rather than later."

"Uh, don't walk so fast, I can't keep up..."

...

In the back garden of the Prime Minister's residence, Rongyue and Ye Fan sat around a stone table, drinking and chatting about the past, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Ye Fan picked up a small pine nut and placed it in Rong Yue's bowl, urging, "Try it, this is a delicacy! You can't get this anywhere else!"

Using her chopsticks, Rongyue picked up a small pine nut and examined it closely. She scoffed dismissively, "It's just a small pine nut, what's so special about it to me!"

"Well, don't underestimate this pine nut sausage. This is the authentic Northern Vietnamese recipe, and it's not sold in the market except in the Imperial Study of Northern Vietnam! Its wonder lies in its meaty flavor, but it's not just meat; with the addition of pine nuts, it becomes another kind of wild mountain delicacy! Tsk tsk, one slurp, and the taste is truly extraordinary!"

Seeing how enthusiastically he was praising it, Rongyue glanced at him and said, "Such vigorous praise, huh, could it be that you did it yourself?"

Ye Fan clasped his hands in a fist salute, looking every bit the wise and sagacious adult: "This humble servant is indeed the one who personally filled Xiaodu."

"So you're just like Wang Po praising her melons, bragging about your own wares! Fine, I'll give you a try... Wow, it's really not bad! Ye Fan, you've got some skills!"

He smiled without saying a word, poured Rongyue another cup of wine, and the two clinked glasses and drank another round.

After a few drinks, Rongyue's tongue was a little tied in knots.

Holding her head, Rongyue waved her hand at Ye Fan: "I can't drink anymore, if I drink any more I'll probably start acting crazy..."

"Go ahead and try to play games with me, you've done it before!"

Get out of my way!

He chuckled softly, but the laughter was unstoppable, turning into a maniacal, loud laugh, until finally he was slapping the table and laughing so hard he was breathless...

Rubbing her head, Rongyue frowned as she looked at Ye Fan, who was laughing maniacally. "Are you drunk?"

He smiled without answering, then asked a completely different question: "Tell me, why did you save me in the first place?"

"I saved you, why ask why!" I only helped you because I saw your extraordinary demeanor!

"Then why do you want me to follow you?"

What do you think?

"But you trust me that much?"
