"Your Majesty, is this true or false?"

Lin Youxian said coldly, "This matter is true. The envoy from the Demon Dragon Kingdom came to the palace early this morning to report this matter to me."

"The messenger also demanded that I find the real culprit within three days!"

Gu Jian was surprised, then sneered, "This envoy from the Demon Dragon Kingdom is really arrogant, daring to make demands of His Majesty. How presumptuous! Has His Majesty agreed to his request?"

Lin Youxian said coldly, "That's what I said to him too. Even if it was the third prince of the Demon Dragon Ancient Kingdom who died, no one would dare to speak to me in a commanding tone."

"However, Long Jingtian was, after all, a prince of the Demon Dragon Kingdom, and his death in my Netherworld City is of great importance. I still intend to investigate thoroughly to find out who killed him!"

Lin Youxian paused at this point.

She looked at Gu Jian with a scrutinizing gaze, her perfect peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, as if she could see through Gu Jian's heart, and said in a calm voice: "General Zimei, you once met Long Jingtian. Do you know who killed him?"

Gu Jian looked bewildered and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know. I received Your Majesty's message when I woke up this morning."

"I haven't even brushed my teeth yet, and I'm completely bewildered. I wonder who will kill him."

Lin Youxian frowned and said, "Hmph, what a lack of hygiene. They don't even brush their teeth when they get up."

Gu Jian was surprised, wondering if Lin Youxian had a cleanliness obsession.

He smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with hygiene. I was originally going to brush my teeth, but when I heard that Your Majesty had summoned me, I came immediately."

"Furthermore, I brushed my teeth last night, and my breath is fresh with no odor at all. Your Majesty need not worry; you can smell it yourself if you don't believe me."

Lin Youxian's face was icy. This guy actually dared to flirt with her. She said coldly, "That's not the point."

What is the key point?

Gu Jian asked with a smile, sensing that Lin Youxian's attitude was very cold.

He wondered if the woman was starting to suspect him.

Lin Youxian looked at Gu Jian and said, "I'm asking you, where were you last night?"

Gu Jian said in surprise, "Your Majesty, of course I am in the General's Mansion."

"really?!"

"Of course it's true."

Gu Jian said, "I didn't sleep a wink last night at the manor."

Lin Youxian asked, "You haven't slept all night, what have you been doing?"

Gu Jian said, "I have several beautiful maids. I didn't sleep all night, so naturally I was with them... cough cough..."

Lin Youxian was slightly taken aback before she realized what was happening.

What is this guy saying?

A blush crept onto Lin Youxian's face, but she quickly said coldly, "You're also someone Shiyu has taken a liking to, yet you do all those things. Aren't you afraid of betraying Shiyu?"

Gu Jian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I admit that I am a womanizer, but I have not established a relationship with Queen Shiyu."

"I am currently without any official title or status, yet Your Majesty demands that I adhere to male virtues. Isn't Your Majesty going too far?"

"Either Your Majesty decides to betroth Queen Shiyu to me. I will certainly uphold male virtue and never again engage in philandering."
