The prince's wife is even more cruel, and the weak prince is afraid of his wife.

Gu Qianyue looked at Sun Jiaxu, her eyes full of scrutiny as she said, "If you have no objection, choose a way to pledge your allegiance."

The white jar is a poison that controls people, and the contract is a contract of sale.

Sun Jiaxu looked at the indenture in his hand with complicated feelings in his heart, but this was his last chance.

Without hesitation, he resolutely pressed his palm print, poured out the red pills from the white jar next to it, and spit them out together.

"Do you know what you are eating? How dare you swallow it in one gulp?" Gu Qianyue said in a slightly softer tone.

Sun Jiaxu was originally in a very heavy mood, but after swallowing the red pill, he felt much more relaxed.

Then he said in a cheerful tone, "It doesn't matter. After you exposed all my appearances, I no longer have any choice. I want to gamble again."

After a moment of silence, he continued, "Thank you for giving me another chance."

"I hope you can put away some of your cleverness in the future."

Gu Qianyue put down the exquisite teacup in her hand and said, and as the porcelain collided with the table, it instantly made a crisp sound.

Her deep gaze seemed to be able to see through Sun Jiaxu's body and directly into his heart.

In the silence in the room, only Gu Qianyue's voice floated in the air for a few circles before slowly dissipating.

Gu Qianyue's mask had been taken off at some point, revealing her delicate face, which seemed to be covered with a layer of mysterious light under the candlelight.

That breathtakingly beautiful face, eyebrows like dark mountains, and slightly upturned eyes outlined with red lines, which is not ostentatious and instead appears more mysterious.

No wonder the fragrance felt so familiar, it really was the third young lady of the Gu family, Sun Jiaxu thought to himself.

"You don't seem surprised to see the master here?" A Liu asked puzzledly.

"It's not about being surprised or not, but it's not important. After all, I am already the master's subordinate, so there is no need to dwell on these trivial things."

"You are so careless." A Liu complained.

Gu Qianyue took out a string of Buddhist beads from somewhere and folded them quietly in her hands.

Not knowing what she was thinking of, she interrupted their banter and said, "From now on, you will be in charge of the brothel.

As for how to manage and make money, if you don't understand, go find Ah Zheng. As for the gambling house in the ghost market, you can also take over it."

"Ah? Give it all to him?" A Liu asked a little surprised.

"Ah Zheng just needs to take care of Liufeng Chamber of Commerce, and leave the rest to him."

Before Ah Liu could ask anything, Sun Jiaxu said, "I will definitely not let my master down."

"Whether you live up to it or not, you have to bear the consequences yourself."

Gu Qianyue left them with some nonsensical words and sent them away.

At this time, Sun Jiaxu still didn't know what this meant.

Seeing that they had all left, Gu Qianyue walked slowly and gracefully to the couch by the window.

Her skirt swayed gently with her steps, like a dancing butterfly.

Gu Qianyue leaned gracefully on the edge of the couch, staring absentmindedly at the falling snowflakes outside the window.

Looking at this scene, Xiao Lan felt it was very familiar. When Qian Qian just returned to the capital, he was just quietly looking at the moon in the sky like this.

Without saying anything, he stayed there for an hour.

"Money!" Xiao Lan opened her mouth, but the words were about to come out of her mouth before she could say them.

At this moment, Gu Qianyue spoke.

"Don't you think that Shangjing City is too quiet?"

Too quiet? What do you mean? Wouldn't it be better to be quieter?

This way no one will come to trouble you for money.

Xiao Lan scratched his head, not quite understanding, and thought.

Gu Fangzheng's voice came again, this time he was wearing white clothes, as white as snow.

The originally eye-catching white little snake was also blocked by his clothes. If you didn't look carefully, you would definitely not be able to tell where the white snake was.

Said: "Could it be related to the appearance of the secret realm in Shangjing City?"

"More than that." Gu Qianyue still looked out the empty window with a focused expression, as if there was something that was attracting her.

Although Gu Fangzheng also noticed that something was wrong, the enemy was in the dark and we were in the light, and for a moment we didn't know what to do.

It seems that I should think carefully about how to make my master escape unscathed.

"Next, you must find a way to let Sun Jiaxu take over all your businesses in Shangjing City, making him the second-in-command, or even replacing you."

Although he didn't understand why his master made such arrangements, Gu Fangzheng still bowed respectfully and responded.

"But I'm worried that the people below will not accept it."

"This is a problem that Sun Jiaxu needs to consider for himself. You and A Liu should solve it as soon as possible and leave Shangjing City to wait for me in the Shadow Mountains."

-------------------------------------

In the Zhonghe Hall, His Majesty was sitting upright on the dragon throne, reviewing the memorials at hand with a serious expression.

At this time, a young soldier in armor hurriedly walked into the hall, knelt on one knee, and clasped his fists.

He said: "I am here to see Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."

"My dear minister, please stand up." His Majesty's voice came from high above.

After obtaining His Majesty's permission, Eunuch Li took General Bao Wu's memorial, then walked forward carefully and presented it to His Majesty respectfully.

His Majesty casually glanced at the memorial presented by Eunuch Li, and his eyes just passed by lightly, as if the content of the memorial was not very attractive.

His face remained calm, without the slightest ripple, and he said nothing. This brief silence made the oppressive feeling of the scene even more intense.

When he realized something was wrong, Bao Wu said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I have collected all the evidence.

And the evidence is irrefutable and sufficient to convict them.”

Bao Wu raised his head slightly and looked at His Majesty. Seeing that His Majesty still had no expression on his face, he continued, "In addition, the few lieutenants, deputy generals, and captains who have always been subservient to Gu Zhongyuan have all been controlled by me according to Your Majesty's order.

If they make any move, I will kill them without mercy."

After hearing this, His Majesty's face darkened and he asked, "Do you admit your guilt?"

Bao Wu's body trembled, knowing that he had said something wrong, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I admit my guilt!

But we are doing this for your majesty, for the country of Li!"

"Hmph!" His Majesty snorted.

"For me? For the country? When did I ever give you such an order?

This is clearly your own decision, don't say it's my order!"

His Majesty's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Baowu's heart hard.

He knew that His Majesty was warning him that he would have to bear the consequences of his actions.

Otherwise, my family......
