The Evil Emperor's Favorite: The Sickly and Poisonous Concubine Goes Crazy

"Open it and take a look." Gu Yan'an looked at Su Jingning with a doting tone, and gently stroked the Buddhist beads in his hand.

Su Jingning was also curious about what was inside such a big box.

She leaned over and opened the box.

I was stunned when I saw what was inside the box.

A box full of house deeds, land deeds, farms, and various bank notes, including accounts of shops, restaurants, and other industries.

Su Jingning took a closer look and saw that her name was written on it.

"What are you doing?" Su Jingning looked at Gu Yan'an.

Gu Yan'an helped her up and let her sit next to him.

"This is all my visible property. From today on, it's yours. As for the hidden properties, they'll take some time to process. I'll give them to you all at once in your betrothal gift."

"I don't want it! You give me all your property? What will you do?" Su Jingning frowned and refused.

"Don't worry, I have left the betrothal gifts for you. I will marry my good girl with a grand wedding to be my Crown Prince's consort! You will be my wife soon, and what's mine is yours!" Gu Yan'an gently smoothed her frowning brows. His voice was soft, and his eyes were full of her.

"Who is your good boy?" Su Jingning's heart skipped a beat when she heard him call her that. Her face turned red.

"You are mine." Gu Yan'an looked at her rosy little face, raised an evil and enchanting smile on his face, moved closer to her ear and whispered in her ear.

"Be good." His voice was hoarse and deep, and his hot breath rushed into her ears.

Su Jingning's face suddenly turned redder. He gently pushed Gu Yan'an and moved away from him.

How come she hadn't noticed that he was so good at talking before?

"But if you give all these to me, what will you use them for in the future?" Su Jingning just did a quick calculation and found that half of this would be enough for her to build many pavilions of the same scale as those in the imperial capital in dozens of states and counties.

"Won't I have you in the future?" Gu Yan'an said softly.

Su Jingning didn't know how to refute for a moment. He trusted himself too much. Wasn't he afraid that after she took the money, she would change her mind and not want to marry him?

"I haven't married you yet! Don't talk nonsense." Su Jingning handed him a cup of tea, her face blushing a little.

Gu Yan'an looked at her slightly red face and chuckled. He held her slender wrist with his big hand, took out a jade bracelet from his arms, and carefully put it on her.

The pale pink jade bracelet was warm and translucent, with a few hints of white in the middle, like a few wisps of white smoke. Worn on Su Jingning's fair and slender wrist, it was delicate and gentle, and very flattering.

Gu Yan'an gently stroked the jade bracelet with his thumb and slowly held her hand tightly. The jade bracelet collided with the Buddhist beads on his wrist, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

"This is my first time doing this, so I'm not very skilled yet. I'll make it better for you next time." He lowered his eyes and looked at the two people's clasped hands, his voice slightly hoarse.

Su Jingning looked at the pink jade bracelet on his wrist, his eyes full of surprise.

"Can you also make bracelets?"

"Yeah. Do you like it?" Gu Yan'an looked at Su Jingning lovingly, with a little nervousness in his eyes. This was the first time he did it for her, and he was afraid that she wouldn't like it.

"So beautiful." Su Jingning shook his wrist, and the jade bracelet swayed along with his wrist. He looked at Gu Yan'an with surprise.

Looking at her joyful expression, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"As long as you like it."

The Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Imperial Study.

Emperor Zhou sat behind the imperial desk, looking seriously at Prince Beiyang who was kneeling on the ground with a calm expression.

"Sheng Fu!" The two men were in a stalemate for a long time before Emperor Zhou shouted at Sheng Fu, who was serving beside him, with anger in his voice.

"Give King Beiyang a seat."

King Beiyang, who was kneeling on the ground, then stood up happily.

After he sat down, Emperor Zhou winked at Sheng Fu, who walked out with his attendants. Emperor Zhou then looked at King Beiyang.

"You are so brave that you didn't even tell me about such a big thing. Also, you returned to the Imperial Capital without a word and no one notified me!"

"Your Majesty, if I don't come back, my son and daughter-in-law will be bullied to death! No matter how powerful the Shen family is, they can't bully people like this!" King Beiyang looked at Emperor Zhou with an aggrieved look.

Emperor Zhou glanced at him and said, "Humph, I haven't blamed you for acting first and reporting later, but you are the first to complain. I want to ask you, what is the matter between Yan An and the two daughters of the Su family? Why don't I know anything about it?"

"I didn't know about this beforehand. I was forcibly taken back to the capital by that guy. It took me four days to travel the eight-day journey. As soon as I arrived in the capital, he arranged for me to go to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to propose marriage. By the way, he also asked the eldest princess to act as a matchmaker. Didn't the eldest princess tell His Majesty?" Prince Beiyang waved his hand.

Emperor Zhou only learned about this yesterday. He was wondering why the Duke of Zhenguo suddenly took leave and even Yan'an didn't come to court. As a result, as soon as he left the court, he heard that Prince Beiyang had returned to the capital and went to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to propose marriage.

That boy has always kept people at a distance. Who is this Second Miss Su that could make that boy propose marriage in such a hurry?

"Have you ever met Miss Su? What's she like?" Emperor Zhou asked King Beiyang curiously.

"Humph, the Duke of Zhenguo treasures her like the apple of his eye. If it weren't for the eldest princess, he would have thrown us out of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion yesterday. I just returned to the Imperial Capital and haven't had the chance to see her yet."

"However, I have never seen Yan An care so much about someone. I heard from his guards that he is very nervous about the girl's affairs."

After listening to him, Emperor Zhou became even more curious about the second young lady of the Su family.

"I heard Xi'er mention her. Xi'er often praises her in front of me. Xi'er's ability to judge people is the same as her mother's. She will never make a mistake in judging people. I would like to meet someone who can be recognized by her and Yan'an. If Yan'an really likes her, I will issue an edict to grant her marriage, which will make up for him a little." Emperor Zhou looked at King Beiyang with red eyes.

"Aye, thanks to you all these years, you have taken good care of him!"

Emperor Zhou looked at King Beiyang with a heavy voice.

"Your Majesty, he has a lot of hatred for what happened back then. If it weren't for the fact that he is strong-willed, he would have collapsed under the torture of the blood parasite. He knows everything in his heart. He is unwilling to forgive Your Majesty and the late Queen, let alone himself. The pain in his heart is no less than Your Majesty's."

"This old minister has something to ask of Your Majesty." Beiyang Wangchao took a half step back and knelt down in front of Emperor Zhou.

"You said."

"Yan'an has suffered too much injustice. He has lived to this day as a son of the Gu family. Even if it costs my life, I will protect him well. So I would like to ask Your Majesty, if he is unwilling to return to the imperial family one day, please don't make things difficult for him. After all, it was Your Majesty and the Queen who let him down back then." Prince Beiyang knelt on the ground with a serious expression. He was not afraid of the imperial aura of Emperor Zhou.

Emperor Zhou looked at him and was silent for a long time.

"Okay, I promise you."

"I, your Majesty, thank you for what you have done." A huge weight was finally lifted off King Beiyang's heart.

"You go back first!" Emperor Zhou said slowly after a long time.

Emperor Zhou was the only one left in the imperial study.

Emperor Zhou took out a scroll from the secret chamber under the desk.

Slowly unfolding it, it turns into a painting.

The man in the painting is handsome and domineering, and the woman is beautiful and charming, nestling in the man's arms. Her hand gently strokes the slightly raised pregnant belly, and her expression is happy. The man hugs the woman with one hand and holds a delicate and beautiful child in the other. A family of four, happy and perfect.

"You'er, our son has grown up, and he is ready to get married now." Emperor Zhou gently stroked the beauty in the painting, looking pleased.

"But he still hasn't forgiven us. If I had withstood the Queen Mother's threats and rumors and protected him in front of everyone, you wouldn't have died, and he wouldn't have hated me for so many years and misunderstood you for so many years."

"You'er, I am sorry for you and your son."

Emperor Zhou talked to himself in front of the portrait, his expression dazed. If possible, he wanted time to stay in the time in the painting forever.
