Chapter 81 So miserable

Gu Junqing lowered his eyes to look at him, nodded, and let him choose whatever he wanted.

It’s not yours anyway.

After she added this sentence silently in her heart, Ye Shan had already made his choice.

It is a delicate and small silver ring.

She remembered that there was a poison needle hidden in the silver ring, which seemed to be called the Thousand Flower Needle. The needle body was highly poisonous, and the needle tip was even more poisonous. It was colorless and odorless. Most people could not detect the existence of this silver needle because the needle body was too small and it only took a moment to be emitted. With such a short time, it was naturally impossible to detect and be caught off guard.

Not knowing where the opening mechanism was, Gu Junqing raised his eyebrows and moved closer, wanting to take a closer look. Ye Shan had already put the silver ring on his thumb at this time, because only when the silver ring was worn on the thumb would it not swing around. After putting it on and fixing it.

Ye Shan used his left hand to feel around the silver ring, not knowing where he had touched. He reacted very quickly and moved the hole where the poison needle came out of the silver ring to the other side, which was the open space opposite the two of them.

Gu Junqing opened his eyes and saw that suddenly, silver waves flashed from deep inside the silver ring. In the sunlight, dozens of poisonous needles shot out at the same time, so fast that people could not dodge and were dizzy.

Across from her was the place where she and the emperor threw stones last time. The original hole in the middle was still there. The little brat turned on the switch of the silver ring, and several poison needles were fired at once, piercing the target all over. Some of the poison needles even fell into the pond through the small hole.

Gu Junqing blinked her beautiful eyes, looked at Ye Shan who had a confused look on his face, and then looked at the koi fish that occasionally popped their heads out from under the pond.

The first thought that came to my mind was that all the living things in this pool would be gone in a few seconds. How tragic.

The second thought was that this was the emperor's territory. It was said that the koi fish in this pond were bought from the West by the emperor with great effort and at a huge price, and now they were poisoned to death by the two of them.

Seeing steam coming out of the area where the poison needle fell into the pond not far away, and seeing fish floating to the surface, Gu Junqing and Ye Shan looked at each other. They saw that Ye Shan looked confused and obviously didn't know the seriousness of the matter.

Gu Junqing: “…”

I'm in trouble. It's so miserable.

Half a minute later, the lake became completely calm. Looking at the dead fish all over the lake, Gu Junqing's heart also turned cold.

"Let's go, little brat. It may not be too late to please the emperor now. At least you can suffer less physical pain."

Ye Shan was at a loss. He glanced at the horrible pond and vaguely knew that he had caused trouble. However, looking at the silver ring in his hand, he waved his hand and asked cautiously:

"Then...can I take this away?"

Gu Junqing looked at his thumb and couldn't help hesitating to see how much he liked it. In fact, it was the emperor who asked her to bring Ye Shan here so that he could choose one as a reward for Ye Shan. However, in the current situation, she thought it was good enough that the silver ring was not destroyed, not to mention whether the emperor could give the silver ring to Ye Shan.

"Take this and go."

Gu Junqing just asked him to take it with him and then ask tentatively when the time comes.

So shortly after Qi Yunjin came back from the morning court, he heard Li Yuan say that General Gu and Young Master Ye had arrived.

His frown relaxed for a moment after he heard that Gu Junqing was coming, but then his brows furrowed even more deeply. This guy wouldn't come to him unless there was something wrong. Could it be that he wanted to tell him about something in the court or something else and asked him for help?

He put down the book in his hand, picked up the cup of longtong tea from the little eunuch who had been waiting by the table, took a sip, and opened his eyelids from bottom to top, with a bit of laziness and casualness, but his aura was not diminished. The charming and dangerous look described him now.

Gu Junqing pursed her lips, and after bowing properly with the little kid behind her, she glanced at the pile of memorials on the table and couldn't help but back off. After all, the emperor must be in a bad mood when reading the memorials now. If she mentioned the pond at this time, wouldn't it be adding insult to injury and adding fuel to the fire?

"General Gu, just say whatever you want to say. If you don't want to say it, you can save it for next time. Oh, by the way, what did Ye Shan choose there that he liked?"

Good guy, the emperor actually asked on his own initiative. It would be wrong to retreat any further. She lowered her eyes and watched Ye Shan show the silver ring in his hand to the emperor. Then Qi Yunjin nodded and praised him for his good vision. This hidden weapon was cast by the world-famous caster Luo Shan. People all over the world also knew that it was one of the master's most satisfying works in his life. It was a priceless treasure that was not for sale.

It was just that when Qi Yunjin was still the prince, he happened to save Luo Shan's life. In return, he gave himself this ring called the Flower-Destroying Ring. In the final analysis, it was just luck that he got it.

"It was originally called the Flower-Destroying Ring"

Ye Shan touched the silver ring and murmured.

After that, no one spoke for a while and the atmosphere became a little awkward. Qi Yunjin coughed and was about to ask if there was anything else when Gu Junqing suddenly moved closer to him. The faint scent of green bamboo lingered around his nose. It was obviously elegant and pleasant, but it gave him the illusion that the fragrance was intoxicating.

"Your Majesty, the koi fish in the pond are gone..."

In his ears was Gu Junqing's rare soft and pleasant voice, like a kitten scratching his heart. Qi Yunjin was distracted for a moment by this seductive and bewitching voice, and then he suddenly woke up after remembering the content of the words.

"..."

His expression was a little dazed, as if he hadn't reacted. Seeing this reaction, Gu Junqing's heart was beating fast. She didn't know what the emperor would look like when he was angry. To be honest, she had never seen what Qi Yunjin looked like when he was really angry.

"It's fine if it's gone, as long as the person is still alive"

Qi Yunjin waved his hand casually and calmly.

Not angry?!

But why does this sentence sound a bit strange?

Gu Junqing shook her head and put aside this strange idea. Seeing that the emperor had no intention of pursuing the matter, some thoughts flashed through her mind. She couldn't help but smile with a bit of cunning. Her eyes were curved like a crescent moon and her voice was brisk. However, the meaning behind her words was a bit too much:

"Since Your Majesty has said so, I would like to ask you one more question: Should the Flower-Destroying Ring still be awarded to Ye Shan?"

Qi Yunjin's mouth twitched. Seeing her eyes full of cunning, his mind moved slightly, and he was a little pleased by her sudden approach. But facing this question at the moment. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He ruined his koi and asked this question. However, a gentleman keeps his word. He promised something at the beginning. How could he regret it because of such a small matter? What's more, the koi is just kept in the pond for appreciation. Apart from that, it has no use.

He thought silently in his heart, without any unhappy emotion at all.

Even a little...happy?
