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

Chapter 118 Imprisoned

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince must not be killed."

Upon hearing this, several ministers stood up to speak in support of Gu Yanjin.

"The chosen one of destiny has been framed. Your Majesty should consider the future of Xiling."

"I'm speaking," Prime Minister Liu said, giving Chen Hao a warning look.

The emperor looked at some of his ministers, his expression unreadable.

Bai Hao stood to one side without offering any opinion.

At that moment, a smile flashed across Gu Yanjin's eyes.

He thought he was going to die, but this time he became the chosen one, and the position of crown prince was rightfully his.

Seeing Gu Yanjin's smug expression, Bai Luoluo sneered inwardly.

Damn it, I'll let you live a few more days.

"This prince was poisoned by Bai Luoluo's Gu worm. I hope the Imperial Advisor can check if she has been possessed by some evil spirit. Otherwise, she is not inherently evil and would not have done such a thing."

Gu Yanjin looked at the Imperial Advisor and spoke with great respect, as if he were very kind to Bai Luoluo.

Who was that calling someone a scoundrel just now? Now they're pretending to be a refined scoundrel.

Bai Luoluo saw that she had been called out again and silently mourned for three seconds.

Why is this mad dog so persistent in attacking her? This Gu worm clearly belongs to the Empress; she was simply returning it to its rightful owner.

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Advisor glanced at the ministers and finally fixed his gaze on Bai Luoluo.

Upon seeing this, Gu Yanchi immediately stood in front of her, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Anyone who dares to touch his daughter today, even the Imperial Advisor, will be killed without hesitation.

It's a soul from another world!!!

The Imperial Advisor's eyes held a probing intent, his gaze seemingly able to see through everything, but Bai Luoluo would never grant Gu Yanjin's wish.

She stepped out from behind Gu Yanchi, her cold and arrogant eyes meeting those of the Imperial Advisor.

Their eyes met.

It was truly strange; there was a mysterious power protecting her.

"Is the Third Prince a dog? He keeps staring at me and biting me."

Anyone who didn't know better would think the Third Prince was some kind person. They don't even look at the corpses scattered all over the ground—who did this?

The idea of a chosen one is pure nonsense.

"Can't the Imperial Advisor see the corpses on the ground? Are you in cahoots with the Third Prince, concocting this 'Chosen One' theory?"

Bai Luoluo directly confronted the issue, making a startling statement.

"Luo'er, don't talk nonsense." These words startled Bai Hao, and he scolded Bai Luoluo, "Grand Preceptor, please don't be offended. My beloved daughter may have been frightened, which is why she spoke without thinking."

The Emperor frowned and glanced at Bai Luoluo. Out of respect for Bai Hao, he naturally wouldn't say anything, but now that the fate of the nation was at stake, he certainly wouldn't execute Gu Yanjin.

"General Bai's beloved daughter appears to be no ordinary person. My advisor wishes to take her as his last disciple. Is that possible?"

The Imperial Advisor spoke in a cold tone, but his unspoken message was that he was very interested in Bai Luoluo.

This is the first time the Imperial Preceptor has accepted a disciple.

He looked at Bai Luoluo's astonished expression and a smile appeared on his lips.

She was able to come to this world, something that a mere mortal like her could not have done; it could only be due to the mysterious power within her.

The woman of destiny, blessed with the power of the phoenix, has actually changed; how interesting!

"I appreciate the Imperial Preceptor's kindness, but I have never thought of becoming his disciple, nor do I like people who pretend to be clever and force things. The Imperial Preceptor has an extraordinary demeanor, which must have come from many years or even thousands of years of cultivation. This is not easy to come by, so please do not act impulsively and ruin it."

Bai Luoluo sneered, showing him no respect whatsoever.

If I become her disciple, I'll devour her whole, and her life will be over.

She was afraid of dying, but she also wanted to know why she would die. If this dragon dared to kill her, she would have no choice but to let Tu Shanyuan come out and bite the guy to death, since her life was tied to Tu Shanyuan's.

Sure enough, she knew she wasn't human.

What a mortal! He knows quite a lot. It seems that power is something formidable.

However, he couldn't see through this power, which meant that its cultivation level was above his.

"Ha ha.........."

The Imperial Advisor burst into laughter, startling the Emperor who was standing nearby.

What's wrong with you? What's so funny at a time like this?

“You are very much to my liking. It’s okay if you don’t become my disciple. There’s plenty of time for you to think it through.”

At this moment, the Imperial Advisor seemed to be in a very good mood and was not angry at all, which made Gu Yanjin look stunned.

He wanted the Imperial Advisor to punish Bai Luoluo, so why did he also want to take on a disciple and become her apprentice?

"The Third Prince committed murder first. How can such a person be the chosen one of destiny?"

Bai Luoluo didn't care what he thought. Gu Yanjin, that scumbag, should be in jail even if he doesn't die. She absolutely couldn't let him out to harm others.

“You’re right, he’s unworthy, but everything has its destiny. If you do too many evil deeds, you will naturally have consequences. My teacher only said that he cannot die, but he didn’t say that he cannot be punished.”

The conversation suddenly shifted, leaving Gu Yanjin completely dumbfounded.

Is Bai Luoluo his calamity? Why does she always ruin every chance that turns things around? That damned bitch.

"The words of the Imperial Preceptor are very much in line with my thoughts."

Bai Luoluo smiled faintly. This imperial advisor was quite perceptive; at this moment, he didn't seem so unpleasant.

After all, having more friends means having more options, and she didn't want to make enemies over this.

"Your Majesty may handle this matter yourself."

The Imperial Advisor stepped aside, not in a hurry to leave, but instead stood not far from Bai Luoluo.

"The Third Prince has indiscriminately killed innocent people. He may be spared the death penalty, but he will not escape punishment. He will be imprisoned from this day forward."

The emperor gave a direct order, hesitating about executing him, but there was no reason to hesitate about imprisoning him.

"Father, I have been framed."

Gu Yanjin was going from heaven to hell in an instant, leaving him exhausted. He already had many wounds all over his body, and at this moment he was about to give up.

"Guards, take him away."

The emperor turned away immediately, not wanting to see his disheveled appearance.

Prime Minister Liu plopped down on the ground, as if he could already see Gu Yanjin's entire life.

Not dying, but life imprisonment seems more painful than death. How will her daughter cope?

"Father..."

Gu Yanjin let out a few groans, then his head lolled to the side and he fainted.

"Someone, go to the prison to treat the Third Prince and make sure his life is safe."

Upon seeing this, the Emperor calmly gave his instructions.

"Yes, I will take your orders."

The three imperial physicians followed Gu Yanjin away.

"I am deeply saddened by what happened during today's hunt. After the hunt ends, Commander Chen shall give the deceased Imperial Guards a proper burial and each family member shall be compensated with one hundred taels of gold."

"Your Majesty is wise."

They all knelt down and said.

Bai Luoluo also knelt down with the others, while the Imperial Preceptor stood upright.

"General Bai, the princes may stay, the rest of you may leave."

The Emperor said wearily.

"I'm waiting to retire."

Prime Minister Liu was helped down.

The emperor sat in his chair, looking utterly exhausted.

Bai Luoluo turned and left after seeing the Emperor's instructions.

"Luo'er, wait for me in the tent."

Gu Yanchi said in a low voice.

"it is good."
