"Brother Chu is so straightforward!"

“You have one day to complete it!”

"After this day, the bonus will be super super super doubled!"

Chu Envoy: ...

You dog emperor, just wait for me! As soon as the eldest prince ascends the throne, the Chu army will definitely flatten Fengcheng and pay for the king's blood debt with blood.

Gu Qingluo wanted to laugh when she saw everyone’s expressions as if they were eating shit but couldn’t say how delicious it was.

The corners of her mouth twitched because she was trying not to laugh, but she still said seriously, "This is a friendly price. If it were someone else, I wouldn't give you a discount. You should feel lucky. Why are you all frowning? Are you dissatisfied with the price? Tell me what you are dissatisfied with. I will consider whether to increase the price for you."

The envoys of Chu and others: . . .

They were speechless. It was the first time they had seen an emperor who was so greedy and petty. It was simply ridiculous.

The envoys and kings of various countries were too ashamed to argue about anything. It was indeed their fault first. Damaging other people's tea sets was wrong in itself, and they accepted the compensation.

Perhaps only the Chu envoy was dissatisfied. It was obviously a shame for their king to die at someone else's doorstep. And he even lost face in public.

The image of the Chu people as scoundrels is deeply rooted in people's minds. They are the kind of idiots who blame others for their mistakes. They have no subjectivity of their own and can only blindly curse others and bring hatred upon themselves. There has never been anyone like them before and there will be no one like them again. It is difficult for others to surpass them.

Gu Qingluo wondered if it was because she had been sitting for too long. She felt dizzy and her hands and feet were weak. It seemed as if there was a fire burning inside her body.

She swallowed uncomfortably and shook her head vigorously to force herself to wake up.

Ji Yanchen noticed this. He observed that Gu Qingluo's face was red, with beads of sweat on his forehead, and he seemed to be about to faint.

Ji Yanchen's heart sank, his eyes fell on Empress Dowager Zhang who was sitting proudly beside him. He saw an obvious sneer on her lips. Ji Yanchen, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and a strong murderous aura emanated from his body.

Just when he was happy that his plan was foolproof, he happened to meet Ji Yanchen's cold eyes in mid-air, and a chill emerged in his heart.

Ji Yanchen stared at her closely, his eyes extremely cold.

Then after Ji Yanchen looked away, Empress Dowager Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

She gave a secret smile of triumph.

She looked at Gu Qingluo and pretended to be friendly and asked, "Emperor, have you drunk too much? Why don't you go back and rest? The Regent and the Grand Tutor are here, and nothing will happen."

Gu Qingluo shook his dizzy head and raised his eyelids with difficulty to look at her and said, "The Queen Mother's face is full of expressions that show I am going to do something bad. Has no one told you that your acting skills are really bad?"

"I can see at a glance that you are full of evil intentions and are planning to use some shady tricks against me."

Empress Dowager Zhang was a little panicked when her thoughts were exposed, but she immediately ignored the panic in her heart when she thought that Gu Qingluo was about to consummate his marriage with a woman.

As long as she lets the woman she arranges become pregnant with the prince, Gu Qingluo will be of no use to her. If she wants to live, she will become her puppet. If she doesn't want to live, she will find the most dignified way to die.

Empress Dowager Zhang continued to smile with her face covered with rouge and powder, "Emperor, you think too much. I just want to care about you. I have no other intentions."

"Haha, will I believe you?"

"I am not feeling well right now, so I don't want to talk to you any more. You know whether I have bad intentions or not."

Gu Qingluo stood up with the help of the dragon chair, and suddenly her vision went dark. When Gu Qingluo thought she was going to fall flat on her face and make a fool of herself in public, she fell into a familiar embrace.

After Gu Qingluo knew it was Ji Yanchen, she closed her eyes and dozed off in peace.

[My head feels like it's about to explode, and my body is getting hotter and hotter. I hope I won't drink too much and pass out.]

[Now, in front of so many people, will Ji Gou pick me up and embarrass me? If he does, he will be the hot topic in the whole capital tomorrow. He will be the lecherous tyrant in the storytellers' eyes, and the bastard who destroyed a rough jade in the teahouse because of his lechery.]

Ji Yanchen looked around and saw that no one noticed this side, but for the sake of His Majesty's reputation, he still chose to help His Majesty walk.

Seeing that her plan was about to be destroyed by Ji Yanchen, Empress Dowager Zhang immediately stood up to stop him and said, "Master Ji, please let me take care of the emperor. I know that I have done many things that are sorry to the emperor, and I should atone for my sins."

"Besides, Your Majesty is still my nominal child, and I have to take care of her."

After Empress Dowager Zhang finished speaking, she wanted to help Gu Qingluo, but unexpectedly Ji Yanchen kicked her.

There was extreme disgust in Empress Dowager Zhang's eyes.

She deserves to die for giving His Majesty that kind of medicine.

The kick he gave her was considered a light one.

Empress Dowager Zhang cried out as she stood up, holding her buttocks. Ji Yanchen said directly to Mo Yu, "Keep an eye on her."

He saw the trembling woman standing next to Empress Dowager Zhang again. Ji Yanchen's eyes darkened again and his tone was cold: "Expel this woman from the palace and never allow her to enter the palace again."

"The wild monsters want to have pearls and hairpins on themselves. Oh, that's a nice thought."

"It depends on whether she has the luck to do so."

Moyu: "Yes, sir."

"Master Ji, she is an innocent woman, why were you expelled from the palace?"

"You'd better give me an explanation."

Ji Yanchen found that the person in his arms was extremely hot and his face was red.

Ji Yanchen felt annoyed, and looked at Empress Dowager Zhang who was blocking his way. His phoenix eyes were filled with murderous intent as he said, "Anyone who blocks the way will die."

Empress Dowager Zhang was so frightened by Ji Yanchen's cold gaze that she almost fell down. Fortunately, the woman who was wiping her tears beside her supported her.

Although Empress Dowager Zhang was reluctant, she had to compromise and make way because of Ji Yanchen's murderous gaze.

It was useless for Ji Yanchen to take Gu Qingluo away. That was a strong aphrodisiac and there was no antidote. He could only find a woman to relieve the toxicity, otherwise he would explode and die.

As long as Gu Qingluo consummates her marriage with someone, it will be beneficial to her no matter who it is. There are so many concubines in the palace. If Gu Qingluo has sex with any one of them, she will know immediately and then prescribe the right medicine to that woman. Wouldn't Gu Qingluo be under her control?

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager felt much clearer and even smiled coldly at Gu Qingluo's back.
