Chapter 116: Become famous in one battle
"Good! Madam Yongchang is the wisest person in our Great Zhou! You should be the one who keeps the priceless treasure!"
The young emperor looked relieved, thinking that he had underestimated his elder sister.
Given how much my elder sister loves me and the Gu family's loyalty to the court, if she were to obtain a priceless treasure, she would definitely give it directly to me.
Now, even though my sister is under so much pressure, she still has to protect the priceless treasure from being exposed. What does this mean?
This means that I am not worthy of obtaining the priceless treasure yet!
The young emperor felt guilty for a moment. He initially thought that his elder sister was selfish. His elder sister was so insightful, would she discover his little thoughts?
The young emperor secretly glanced at Gu Nanxi, and saw that her pretty face was as cold as frost, and her pair of black eyes were like the abyss...
The young emperor couldn't help but shudder, recalling the fear of being dominated in his childhood.
"Congratulations to Baichuan Academy for successfully passing the assessment!"
The young emperor walked straight to Gu Nanxi and continued speaking in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Sister, if you have this trick, why didn't you tell me earlier? I've been hiding it from you for so long!"
Gu Nanxi's eyes flashed with a trace of struggle, and then she moved her lips: "If I say that all this is not true, will you believe it?"
"letter!"
Gu Nanxi raised her eyebrows, and a little spark of hope ignited in her dead heart. There were still smart people in the entire Zhou Dynasty.
Then, she saw the young emperor, with eyes sparkling like a puppy, wagging his tail and saying to her, "Sister, although I am stupid and can't figure out your purpose, I will definitely cooperate with you!"
That little bit of fire was extinguished in an instant.
The great Zhou Dynasty has survived to this day despite being surrounded by wolves. It is truly the blessing of our ancestors.
When Concubine Tong saw the emperor and Gu Nanxi, she whispered to each other for a while and then walked towards them.
"Madam Yongchang, although you shine today, in my heart you are not a trustworthy person."
Huh?
All the officials, including palace maids and eunuchs, pricked up their ears to listen.
Is Concubine Tong declaring war on the wife of Marquis Yongchang?
Concubine Tong's cat eyes sparkled, her pink lips pouted slightly, and she said angrily, "I gave you so many gold and silver jewelry that day, why didn't you wear them? Instead, you dressed so plainly?"
The officials who were waiting for the two men to fight were suddenly defeated. That’s it?
Gu Nanxi was a bit obsessed with looks. The Imperial Concubine Tong in front of her looked both delicate and angry, like a kitten baring its teeth and claws at her.
So, she softened her voice and said, "The gift given by the imperial concubine is too valuable. I have kept it carefully. There are so many people here, and if something goes wrong, I will be so heartbroken."
The corners of Concubine Tong's mouth were getting wider and wider, but she still forced it down. However, anyone could hear the joy in her words.
"Look at you, you don't seem to have seen the world. Since you like it so much, I'll give you some more."
After that, Concubine Tong reminded again: "Just next time you meet a big occasion, you must wear it properly, don't lose our dignity."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Concubine Tong left with great satisfaction, and decided that after returning, she would carefully sort out her inventory and not let down her quality.
This scene made the officials' faces turn green.
"Is this a provocation? This is clearly flirting!"
"I didn't believe Lord Zhu's analysis at first. But now I really believe it. As long as the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang is willing, she will be popular with both men and women!"
"Not only can he see through people's hearts, but he can also be soft. He can be as hard as iron when he needs to be hard, and as soft as water when he needs to be soft. No wonder even Master Zhu feels inferior to him!"
"The wisest man in the Great Zhou, he deserves the title!"
Gu Nanxi, who occasionally heard a few words, was completely numb. At this moment, even if he took a loud speaker and shouted to everyone, "I didn't do it, I didn't do it", they would probably think that he was still setting a trap...
The mysterious man sitting in the crowd had a straight nose, lips tightly pursed into a line, and was wearing a black dress with embroidery on the sleeves, collar, and hem.
The embroidery made of gold thread shines brightly in the sunlight.
"Cloak!" The mysterious man seemed to wake up from a dream, and hurriedly covered himself from head to toe with a pure black cloak.
The butler was full of questions: "Master?"
The mysterious man stood up in a hurry and said in a hurry: "Quick, we need to move our position!"
"ha?!"
"Gu Nanxi has used me so thoroughly, he must have known my identity! Now that my identity has been exposed, our base is no longer safe!"
The housekeeper was a little reluctant: "But we finally opened up the Kyoto market. Are we going to give up so easily?"
"Which is more important, money or life? We haven't even faced each other head-on, but Gu Nanxi almost skinned me alive. If we really face each other, he will definitely suck the marrow out of me!"
The more the mysterious man thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't stay in Kyoto anymore and had to leave immediately. If he couldn't afford to offend her, could he not hide from her?
"What about our shop?"
The mysterious man waved his hand and said, "Sell it! Sell it at a low price!"
Seeing that the forces headed by Gu Nanxi are about to confront Master Tong head-on, he should stay away from the battlefield, sit on the mountain and watch the fight, wait until they are both defeated, and then catch them all in one fell swoop!
The mysterious man felt that his decision was extremely wise.
The chief academic officer of the Imperial College also backed down.
He shrank his neck and hid his body in the shadow of the corner, muttering to himself.
Gu Nanxi has the support of Cui Sanlun, Lord Zhu and other forces behind her, and she is also quite favored by the emperor. Even if she cannot compete with Grand Tutor Tong, she can ensure that she can escape safely.
But it’s different for me. I’m at the center of the storm. No matter which side it is, any shore can beat me to death on the beach.
When gods fight, they suffer.
The eyes of the chief academic officer of the Imperial College flashed, and he decided to keep secret the unusual occurrence in his study.
Gu Nanxi, who was regarded as a strong enemy by many forces, was now being madly mocked by the loving mother system in his mind.
"Host, you are finished, you are completely finished! Not only have you offended Master Tong, you have also offended the big boss behind the scenes!"
"Look at how many enemies you have made for the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion! Principal Wu, the Imperial Academy's chief academic officer, Grand Tutor Tong, the big boss behind the scenes... Without you, the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion would at most be executed. With you, they would probably be torn into pieces by five horses!"
Gu Nanxi asked in her soul: "Is there any difference between the two? Aren't they both death? Besides, isn't this what you want?"
The Kind Mother System was speechless. It was so busy opposing the host that it almost forgot its own mission.
Not long after, the Kind Mother System was like a hen being strangled by the neck, and it broke into a voice: "Gu Nanxi, what have you done?! How did the plot deviate to this point?!"
The Kind Mother System crashed, and the big boss behind the scenes who was supposed to cause trouble in Kyoto actually ran away!
