Everyone couldn't help but admire how dedicated Master Ye was; even at this critical moment, he didn't forget to shout for help in a high-pitched voice, afraid that the flower thief would discover his weakness.
"Chase!"
When Minister Ye Tianming saw his son being taken away, he immediately panicked.
He immediately started running after the officials in front of him.
After running a few steps, they saw Emperor Jingyuan.
"His Majesty."
"No need for formalities, hurry up and chase after them."
Upon seeing Emperor Jingyuan, all the ministers bowed in greeting.
"Alright! No need for formalities!"
Ministers: ...
The General of Chariots and Cavalry looked at Qin Zhao, the Commander of the Imperial Guards, and said,
"Your Majesty, I've gone to catch the notorious womanizer!"
After saying that, he disappeared in a flash!
Emperor Jingyuan: ...
I'm here to rid the people of this scourge and catch the flower thief!
Soon, everyone saw the beautiful back view of Lord Ye.
Flower thief: Why is the girl so heavy today?
Looking at the tall and strong girl, he thought, "Oh no! She's a big-boned beauty." With that thought, he used his lightness skill to run away as fast as he could.
"Girl, hold on tight to me, or you'll regret it!"
Ye Rongyi: ...There's something I want to say, but I don't know if I should.
Lord Ye turned around and looked at the ministers and officials following closely behind, and even waved his hand in a serious manner.
"Everyone, please come and save me!"
Shen Mingzhu: ...Could you please act a little more realistically?
Ye Tianming: ... What a waste of your worry!
Prince An was panting heavily after only a few steps, and was covered in sweat.
"Why haven't they caught up yet!"
"Feng Yi, you carry me while we chase after them!"
Feng Yi: ...
Your Highness, you should lose weight!
He only dared to say these words silently in his heart.
At this moment, the womanizer had been caught up and, looking at the beautiful woman in his arms, wondered whether he should abandon her.
Lord Ye smiled and stabbed the flower thief in the abdomen.
"Excuse me!"
Flower Thief: ...
"My beauty, why?"
When the man tried to run away after drawing his knife, Tian Xuezhou grabbed one of his feet and pulled him down.
"Bang!!!"
When Shen Mingzhu arrived, she saw General Tian Xuezhou throwing the flower thief to the ground in a disheveled state.
"Uh... got it!"
[Guagua, General Tian was so cool just now!]
[Haha, host! He is a general who fought on the front lines, he would have been buried at the frontier long ago if he didn't have some skills!]
Tian Xuezhou nodded proudly.
That's true.
These military generals earned their achievements through real battles on the frontier.
Wow! Guagua, all the officials have gathered tonight, even His Majesty is here!
"Cough cough..."
Emperor Jingyuan coughed twice, waved his hand, and told everyone to dispense with formalities.
Grand Steward Wang Defu attended to him as usual.
[Guagua, we've finally caught this womanizer!]
Soon, the officers stepped forward and pinned the man down. The flower thief did not resist, but he resisted violently when the officers were about to tear off the human skin mask from his face.
No! No! No!
"Let me go! Get away from me!"
Looking at that face covered in burn scars, everyone gasped in unison.
[Guagua, oh my god, no wonder he's psychologically twisted, it's terrifying! That wife he married is truly a scourge.]
"Host, of course! They ruined his life, no wonder he hated them so much, he killed those two and reduced them to ashes!"
Everyone gasped in shock.
Crown Prince Yan Beichen glanced at Shen Mingzhu a few times, seeing her lost in her own thoughts, he silently stayed by her side.
"Rong Ye, are you alright?"
"Dad, I'm alright!"
Still worried, Ye Tianming checked Ye Rongyi thoroughly before letting him go.
"Cough cough..."
"Rong Ye, you did a great job this time! You lured the enemy with your own body and helped capture the rampant womanizer. Well done."
After speaking, he looked at all the civil and military officials and saw them covering their mouths and snickering. He was furious!
Everyone laughed, making their attempt to cover up the truth seem even more obvious.
At this moment, Emperor Jingyuan and Prince An and the others had already returned.
Ye Rongyi followed and walked back, but kept his head down the whole time.
[Guagua, look, Master Ye kept his head down the whole time, like a child who had done something wrong.]
[Sigh... Host, you don't know, you don't know what happened, but Lord Ye's habit of wearing women's clothing has been exposed. He must be mortified.]
Shen Mingzhu: ...This is a bit awkward.
[Guagua, this should be fine, right? It's just a little playful interaction between husband and wife, why are they making such a big deal out of it!]
[Host, no one said anything, maybe Lord Ye is just uncomfortable.]
Okay, okay! He is being dramatic now! He was quite happy wearing it tonight, weren't you?
Ye Rongyi suddenly looked up at Shen Mingzhu, not wanting to hurt his feelings!
This is a little embarrassing.
Yan Beichen looked at Lord Ye and gave him an encouraging smile.
[Guagua, the flower thief has been caught! Can't we all go home and find our mothers now? Time to sleep!]
[Host, that's great! Early to bed and early to rise makes you healthy.]
Soon, the ministers returned to their residences, satisfied.
Crown Prince Yan Beichen insisted on sending Shen Mingzhu back to the Marquis's residence before driving his carriage back to the Crown Prince's residence.
The massive operation to catch the notorious womanizer came to an end.
Meanwhile, at the Second Prince's residence, Shen Jiaojiao was having nightmares.
In the dream, she initially married the Second Prince Yan Yunxuan, and they were very happy for a while. Later, Yan Yunxuan was seduced by various women, and even became infatuated with Shen Mingzhu. He often went to see Shen Mingzhu, trying to win back her heart, which was like stirring up a hornet's nest.
She and Yan Yunxuan had several big arguments about this, and each time the Second Prince Yan Yunxuan would ignore her for a long time. Once, the servants of the Xuan Prince's mansion even thought that she had fallen out of favor, and the food in the courtyard was very, very bad.
Because she gambled away all her dowry, she had no money to make arrangements. In the end, it was only after her maid Qiuju went to the prince pleading her mistress threatened to kill herself that she was able to see Yan Yunxuan. They reconciled, and her life improved again.
She even suffered a miscarriage because of Yunxuan, her eyes filled with blood, which startled her so much that she opened them immediately.
Looking at the pitch-black sky outside, Shen Jiaojiao felt a wave of fear.
Will she really end up like this?
She doesn't believe it!
She and Brother Yunxuan are so loving, it's definitely not possible!
Thinking of something, she put on her coat, got up, and walked towards Yan Yunxuan's courtyard with a lantern in her hand.
At this moment, she desperately wanted to see Brother Yunxuan!
"Clatter!!!"
The lantern fell to the ground.
What did she see?!
Brother Yunxuan is actually being affectionate with another woman.
Wasn't he sick?
"Brother Yunxuan!"
"Aaaah!"
Yan Yunxuan shoved Qingyu to the ground...
