"The emperor is a man of luck. With the old emperor here, you will get better." The emperor spoke kindly, as if he was very concerned about his lifelong affairs:

"You are gifted and a rare talent. My Princess Mingde is naturally intelligent, talented and beautiful. I think you two are a good match. If you also think Mingde is good, I can grant you a marriage."

Gong Beixuan lowered his eyelids slightly, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

He knew that the emperor was testing him.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your compliment! Princess Mingde is of noble status and a treasure in your hands. I, with my frail body, dare not waste the princess's youth!" Gong Beixuan refused calmly.

Generally, when the emperor grants a marriage, the minister has no choice but to accept it, but he does not need to consider the emperor's face.

The emperor's face froze. "If that's the case, then let's just forget about it!"

"Your Majesty is not feeling well, please take more rest." Gong Beixuan stood up and said goodbye to him, "I will take my leave first!"

"Go!" The emperor waved to him and lay down with the help of Eunuch Gu.

Gong Beixuan walked out of the bedroom, let out a breath, and left Jingren Palace.

"Master!" Liang Ying came forward and put a hot water bottle in his hand.

"Let's go!" The master and servant walked towards the palace gate.

"Master Imperial Master!" He suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.

Gong Beixuan turned around and saw that it was Long Shiyu.

He frowned, "Princess Mingde, what does this humble minister want?"

His voice was extremely cold and distant.

"It's okay! This princess is about to leave the palace and wants to go with you." Long Shiyu's eyes fell greedily on his handsome face.

It feels like I can never get enough of this man.

If he could ascend to that high position someday, he would definitely take this man into the harem. Unfortunately, he was just an orphan, had no distinguished family background, and was also sickly, so he could not be her husband.

But it doesn't matter, she will give him the most love, but with his thin body, she is afraid that he won't be able to do it in bed.

There was a flash of displeasure in Gong Beixuan's eyes. He hated it most when a woman looked at him with such an aggressive gaze.

But he was well-mannered and didn't show it on his face. He just nodded slightly and walked away.

Long Shiyu followed beside him and chattered, "Master Imperial Master, it's almost noon now. Would you like me to treat you to a simple meal?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Princess. I have a lot of things to do in my house, so I'll leave you now!" Gong Beixuan declined politely.

Long Shiyu's face froze. This man actually didn't give her face?

"No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat! And eating doesn't take up much time."

Gong Beixuan Junya's face darkened and his brows twisted into a "川" shape, as if there was a fly buzzing next to him, making him feel extremely annoyed.

"Sorry! I am not feeling well and cannot eat anything from outside."

After being rejected many times, Long Shiyu was unhappy. As the emperor's favorite princess, this was the first time she showed kindness to a man, whether in Longyuan Kingdom or Qingjian Sect. How could this man be ungrateful?

But in order to pursue the handsome man, she kept a smile on her face. "It doesn't matter. This princess has opened several taverns in Jinxiu City. The chefs there are all selected from hundreds of people with good cooking skills. Hua Jian Fu! That is the most famous tavern in the whole Jinxiu City. It is owned by this princess. Let's go there to eat. Tell the shopkeeper what you want to eat and let the chef make it for you. How about it?"

Gong Beixuan finally stopped and stared at her, "I heard that Princess Mingde is very good at martial arts, but I didn't expect that your face has also been tempered by thousands of hammers. It's really beyond the reach of others."

"What... do you mean?" Long Shiyu was stunned. It took him a long time to realize that he meant that she was thick-skinned?

She was so angry that her chest heaved and her lungs seemed about to explode.

What a Gong Beixuan, he actually dared to indirectly call her shameless!

At this time, Gong Beixuan had already walked some distance and hurriedly chased after him.

"Gong Beixuan, stop right there!"

Gong Beixuan ignored her completely. The master and servant seemed to be walking at a steady pace, but she couldn't catch up with them after chasing for a long time.

By the time she ran out of the palace breathlessly, Gong Beixuan had already gotten on the carriage and left!

"I'm so angry!" Long Shiyu was so angry that he stamped his feet and gritted his teeth.

He was just a sickly person, what was there to be proud of? If it weren't for his face, he wouldn't even be worthy of carrying her shoes.

She secretly swore in her heart that when she reached that high position, she would make this man kneel before her and beg for mercy!

When the time comes, she will slowly toy with him to avenge today's humiliation.

Thinking of this, Long Shiyu became more determined to get that high position?

*****

Seven days passed in a blink of an eye. Every day when Chu Feiyan came back from court, except for visiting his brother once, he spent the rest of his time studying the book of Qi Men Dun Jia. If there was something he didn't understand, he would ask Gong Beixuan for help.

Gong Beixuan also patiently explained and analyzed everything to her bit by bit and discussed it together.

Chu Feiyan had learned Qimen Dunjia from his parents before and used it for tactics on the battlefield, but the mechanisms and formations in this book were more sophisticated and extremely profound.

Qiao Sheng also studied and discussed with her, and then the two began to set up traps in the mansion.

On this day, Gong Beixuan checked Chu Wenzhao's injuries and told him that he could return to Weiguo Mansion.

But the brother and sister still did not tell Duke Weiguo the truth. They just said that Chu Wenzhao accidentally fell off his horse while riding and had a slight fracture in his arm, but it was nothing serious and he would be fine after resting for a while.

The old Duke did not suspect anything and just told him to take good care of his injuries.

A few more days passed like this.

The Duke of Wei's Mansion and the Princess' Mansion were both safe and sound, and the people from the Qingjian Sect did not cause them any trouble, but Chu Feiyan was not afraid of them causing trouble.

Numerous traps have been set up in the two mansions to guard against the assassination attempt in the previous life.

In this life, she acts in a high-profile manner and no longer tolerates anything. I believe she has offended many people, and the assassination may come early.

That afternoon, Chu Feiyan felt a little cold. At first, she thought it was because the weather was getting colder and didn't pay much attention to it.

But at night, she felt colder and colder. She thought she was sick due to the cold, so she went to bed early to rest. Xia An put two hot water bottles in her place and covered her with two quilts, but she still felt cold.

Xia An was very worried: "Princess, your hands are very cold, you must be sick, shall I ask the doctor to take a look at you?"

"No need, I'll be fine after a good night's sleep." She had never taken medicine for a cold in her entire life, except for being injured on the battlefield.

Suddenly remembering what Gong Beixuan had said to her, she sat up.

The thing in her body was a mother Gu that was fed extremely cold things. The poison must have taken effect.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Xia An asked her.

"I'm going out for a while. If I don't come back tonight, don't worry about me." Chu Feiyan got out of bed, put on her shoes, put on a thick cotton coat, and took out a red fox fur cloak from the closet.

"Princess, what happened?" Xia An became even more worried when he saw that she was so cold and yet wanted to go out.

"I'll be fine!" Chu Feiyan put on his cloak and left the room. He jumped onto the roof and flew towards the Imperial Master's Mansion.
