[Night Women's Guest House

Ye Zhaonan, who had just reunited with Gong Yuanzheng, was in a good mood: "Bring me that pot of wine."

But after a while, there was a glass of wine on Ye Zhaonan's table. He picked up the wine jug, poured himself a glass and drank it, then fell on the table with a bang.

Ye Wei was stunned for a moment, then gently picked up Ye Zhaonan and put him on the bed, covered him with the quilt and disappeared again.

half an hour later

Ye Zhaonan woke up, and Ye Wei placed the sobering soup in front of him. Ye Zhaonan didn't even look at it and said, "Don't follow me." Then he went towards the corner palace.

Corner Palace

Gong Shangjiao had just finished his work and was about to go to bed when he felt a strong wind coming from behind him. He reacted quickly to avoid it and turned around to find Muye.

Before Gong Shangjiao could think, Ye Zhaonan attacked again. After only ten moves, he kneeled Gong Shangjiao to the ground.

Gong Shangjiao looked at Ye Zhaonan, whose eyes were blurry and cheeks were red, and said in a cold tone: "You are Wu Feng"

Ye Zhaonan: "I am not those useless people like Wufeng." Then he poked Gong Shangjiao's face with his hand: "Soft"

Gong Shangjiao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Ye Zhaonan's answer: "Drinking"

Ye Zhaonan nodded obediently: "Yeah"

Gong Shangjiao looked at Ye Zhaonan like this and his heart softened. He looked at him lovingly and said, "Get up. I'll go get you some hangover soup."

Ye Zhaonan's eyes were blurred and his tone was serious: "No, Gong Shangjiao, please don't compete with me for my brother, okay? As long as you don't compete with me for my brother, I won't kill you, okay?"

Gong Shangjiao was puzzled: "Why do you want to kill me? When did I steal your brother?"

Ye Zhaonan: "I robbed you. I just got to know my brother today and I'm very happy. My brother is also very happy, but the next moment, despite his fever just subsiding, he came to find you in the middle of the night and said he wanted to tell you this news.

I'm not happy, so please don't compete with me, okay? As long as you don't compete with me, I can give you anything except Muxi and my brother, okay?

I lost my mother when I was just born, and my father, the king who doted on me, also passed away when I was seven. I had to grow up alone, face the old foxes in the court, and face the occasional assassinations by Tianmu Xuanyue. I also had to worry about what would happen if the old foxes in the court discovered that I was a girl. What would happen if that happened? I would not be able to protect Muxi, the Ye family's century-old foundation, or the family business my father left me.

So I kept working hard, and finally at the age of thirteen I took control of Mu Xi, and at the age of sixteen I destroyed Xuan Yue and Tian Mu. Only then did I dare to tell them openly that although I, Ye Zhaonan, was a woman, I was not inferior to men.

At that time, I was thinking about how I could rule the world, and finally I had the ability to protect my family. At that time, I was thinking that once I found my aunt, I would make her the Grand Princess of the State.

I just found out about my aunt a few days ago, but I was told that she had passed away too. I was so sad, but fortunately, she still had a blood relative. I was so happy then, happy that I was finally no longer alone, that I had family again.

But my brother cares deeply for you. Because you care about Gong Men, my brother even tested the medicine on himself. At that time, I wanted to kill Gong Men, who bullied me, even more than I did. But my brother cares about you, you are more important than his life, and you value Gong Men so much. I didn't dare kill Gong Men. I always cut the grass at its roots. Killing Gong Men would also kill you. Killing you would make my brother unhappy for the rest of his life. So for my brother's sake, I didn't kill you.

But please don't fight with me for my brother, okay? I don't want to kill your Gong Shangjiao either."

Then he looked at Gong Shangjiao's cheek and laughed, "You are quite good-looking, provided you don't compete with me for my younger brother." Then he said with some disappointment, "Do you think my younger brother will dislike my bloody hands?

Would you dislike my sister Gu, who is cruel, bloody, calculating, vicious, and has killed countless people?

But I wouldn't want to do that if I could. I was also scared the first time I killed someone. I was only seven years old at that time.

Later, when he confronted those ministers for the first time, the crimes of the then Minister of Revenue were enough to kill their entire family and confiscate their property.

But in order to suppress those ministers, I killed all nine of his clans. I knew there must be innocent people among them, but I still killed them.

Later, when I was carrying out reforms, I killed many people. Among them were corrupt officials, good officials who were dedicated to the people, evil people, good people, those who deserved death, and innocent people. But for Mu Xi, for those ministers who were loyal to me, and for the family business in my hands, I had no choice but to do so.

Because I know that if I use my cunning, gentle policies, and ability, they will obey and respect me, but not be afraid of me. Only if they fear me will they not dare to contradict me, and will they seriously implement my policies instead of procrastinating for their own interests. They will not take it easy on me just because I am a woman.

I will never be a very kind or good person in the eyes of others in my life, because if I were that kind of person, I would not be alive today and I would not be able to protect Mu Xi.

"Gong Shangjiao, I only have that cold throne and my younger brother. Please don't fight with me for my younger brother. Besides my younger brother, you also have the palace gate. Although those people are biased and stupid, they are also your people." As she spoke, tears dripped onto Gong Shangjiao's hands.

Gong Shangjiao wiped away Ye Zhaonan's tears distressedly: "Okay, I won't fight with you for brother Yuanzheng. Brother Yuanzheng is our brother."

Ye Zhaonan nodded softly with satisfaction: "You said it, I won't rob you."

Gong Shangjiao touched Ye Zhaonan's head lovingly: "Don't grab it, Yuanzheng is your brother and my brother. You just said that if I don't grab my brother, you will give me whatever I want, right?"

Ye Zhaonan emphasized with a dazed look: "I'm dating my brother and Mu Xi."

Gong Shangjiao said softly with a doting look in his eyes: "Okay, then can I ask you for it?"

Ye Zhaonan was confused: "You, want to be my queen"

Gong Shangjiao was satisfied with the friendship and said seriously, "Yes, although we have only known each other for half a month, you have entered my heart and taken root in my heart, so is it okay?"

Ye Zhaonan nodded: "Okay, as long as you don't steal my brother"

Gong Shangjiao tricked the drunk Ye Zhaonan into writing a letter of guarantee in black and white: "I, Ye Zhaonan, promise that as long as Gong Shangjiao doesn't steal my brother, I will make him the queen." He also coaxed him into drinking sobering soup.

Gong Zishang said softly and pretentiously: "Wow, Gong Shangjiao, you are such a person"

Gong Shangjiao's ears turned slightly red and his cheeks became hot. He stared at himself and Ye Zhaonan in the water curtain uncomfortably.
