A concubine? You're more like a joke. I'd rather send you to your death.

The Emperor looked at the crazed Gu Yanjin, his eyes filled with disappointment.

Even at this point, they still show no remorse and continue to harp on Bai Luoluo. What's the point?

He wasn't blind, so he could naturally tell that it was the Empress who did it.

But he couldn't understand whether the person who murdered his own son was driven mad or had some other motive.

"Third Prince, you should calmly face your crimes. The word 'bastard' should not be used. I have done nothing wrong, so I am not afraid of ghosts."

Bai Luoluo spoke calmly, without the slightest hint of anger, displaying the composure of a true lady.

She wouldn't argue with a dead man; barking would only hasten his death.

Look how dark the Emperor's face has become.

Gu Yanjin was stunned for a moment when he saw Bai Luoluo's calm and composed expression.

When did she stop loving herself? Was it really because she was possessed? Where did Bai Luoluo, who loved him to death, go? Everything seems to have changed.

In the past, she was timid and insecure, and she was cautious about her love, trying her best to please him, hoping that he would love her a little more.

He loathed her ugly face, and both he and she were only pretending to be sincere in order to gain military power.

Now, she is bold, confident, dignified, and composed. She no longer tries to please him or looks at him with affection. Why has she changed so suddenly?

"Shut up." Liu Yulan, with tears in her eyes, suddenly ran to the Emperor and knelt down. "The Third Prince is usually a gentleman and has never harmed anyone. He would never go on a killing spree. Someone must be framing him. I beg Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter and clear the Third Prince's name."

Looking at Liu Yulan pleading for him, Gu Yanjin was deeply moved at this moment.

As expected of his Lan'er, she was still pleading for him even in the face of death.

“Miss Liu, please be careful what you say. Everyone saw the Third Prince go mad and kill people.”

Chen Hao's eyes showed displeasure.

A young lady from a noble family loses her innocence; she really doesn't know her own brain.

This is a matter of state; how can we allow a young lady from a secluded family to make the final decision?

"Third Prince........."

"Wait a minute!"

The emperor's words were interrupted by a voice. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a person dressed in a blue robe, with hair as white as snow fluttering in the wind, and a black mask on his face, so that his appearance could not be seen.

"The Imperial Advisor... has actually emerged from seclusion."

The eldest prince said in shock.

Upon hearing that it was the Imperial Advisor, Bai Luoluo couldn't help but take a second look.

His martial arts skills looked extremely high, and he stood firmly in front of the emperor in the blink of an eye.

He exuded a calm and powerful aura, giving people the feeling of an immortal descending to earth.

The Imperial Preceptor glanced at Gu Yanjin but showed no intention of paying respects to the Emperor.

"What does the Imperial Preceptor mean by this?"

The emperor was not angry, but looked up at him, his tone much gentler than before.

"The Third Prince is a chosen one, he must not be killed."

The Imperial Advisor spoke in a lazy tone, with a hint of unfathomable mystery.

Son of luck?

Bai Luoluo was puzzled.

Could it be because Gu Yanjin is the male protagonist in the original book, and therefore carries the fortune of this small world?

Damn author, writing something like this to make the male protagonist carry the fate of the universe is just brainless.

"What exactly did the Imperial Advisor mean?"

The emperor frowned, his tone questioning.

“The chosen one of destiny kills him, war continues, and the people suffer.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Yanjin's eyes lit up with joy.

He was actually the chosen one.

So that's why the world collapses when the male protagonist dies.

Bai Luoluo was startled.

Wouldn't that mean Gu Yanjin would live forever, for thousands of years?

"Does the Imperial Master really mean what he said?"

The emperor looked doubtful, but he had no choice but to believe it.

The Imperial Advisor is a man who has lived for far too long. The late emperor trusted him greatly. When I ascended the throne, it was the Imperial Advisor who said that I had the talent to govern the country and that I was a true dragon who would surely bring blessings to the people of Xiling.

"Your Majesty may not believe what I say today." The Imperial Advisor did not want to say more, and glanced at the corpses on the ground. "The Third Prince was infected with a Gu worm, which is why he went on a killing spree."

Upon hearing this, the crowd stopped calling for Gu Yanjin's life, since he was also a victim.

Bai Luoluo was indignant. Such a person was unworthy of being the chosen one. She thought Gu Yanjin was going to die today, but unexpectedly, the Imperial Advisor appeared out of nowhere. She had really miscalculated.

"Don't panic, this imperial advisor is no ordinary person."

At that moment, Tu Shanyuan's voice entered Bai Luoluo's mind.

"Tell me more, what are the abilities of this imperial advisor?"

Bai Luoluo became interested upon hearing this.

"He's not human."

"what?"

Bai Luoluo felt all the hairs on her body stand on end.

“He is a dragon that has cultivated for a thousand years, and he seems to have an unstable soul. He is probably similar to you and comes from another dimension.”

Tu Shan Yuan was, after all, the Fox King, so he could naturally see through all illusions.

"Jiaolong..."

Bai Luolu blinked twice and couldn't help but look at the Imperial Advisor. This was clearly a person, and there was no indication that he was a dragon.

"Hmm, judging from the severe damage to his soul, he must have encountered an accident when he was undergoing the thousand-year tribulation."

"Let's leave the imperial advisor aside for now. I'm going to kill Gu Yanjin. Now that he's become the chosen one, how can I kill him?"

"The chosen one is designated by the writer who created this world, but now that you have arrived in this space, you have already taken on the destiny of the phoenix. As long as you marry Gu Yanchi, your destiny will naturally converge on him."

"It's still possible."

Bai Luoluo felt utterly ignorant, but it was understandable; with both foxes and dragons appearing, what else couldn't be accepted?

“Of course, and Gu Yanjin’s luck is not strong right now, but Gu Yanchi’s luck is increasing.”

"Thank you for the advice, but this dragon looks very powerful. I might not be able to defeat it. If it helps Gu Yanjin, it will become my enemy."

"He just doesn't want this world to collapse. If he were an evil dragon, I would be sealed away now and probably wouldn't be able to help you much, but I could still intimidate him."

Tu Shanyuan spoke gently, but one could hear a hint of helplessness in his voice.

Having been sealed for ten thousand years, it really wants to break the seal and return to its own world.

"This dragon has cultivated for a thousand years, so its inner core must be a great tonic. If I could just take a bite, I might become an immortal."

Bai Luoluo stared at the dragon, her eyes gleaming faintly.

“The idea is good, but this guy is not one of those wild boars that haven’t taken human form. Look at him, he can even transform into a human form because he has already survived a thousand-year tribulation of lightning.”

"I was just thinking about it. We can't kill innocent people indiscriminately, but I don't like it when he helps Gu Yanjin."

Bai Luoluo pursed her lips, unconcerned.

"Be careful of this guy. He can tell you're from another world and might crush you right away."

Tu Shanyuan spoke in a tone of reminder, then fell silent.

"Okay, I'll be careful."

Bai Luoluo sighed inwardly.

What kind of mess is this? She turned a perfectly good palace intrigue into something mystical. It's really tough for her.

Now we must compete with the dragon to see who is superior.
