As Errou stepped into the hall and uttered this cry, the scene fell into a deathly silence.
Junlin stood up, dusted off imaginary dust, and said, "Didn't I tell you to wait outside? Why did you follow me here?"
Errou blinked and turned around obediently and sensibly, "I didn't see anything, I don't know anything."
As he spoke, he dashed out in a flash.
Qing Yixue was still in shock.
What was that girl's name, Junlin?
Brother-in-law?!
How did they end up getting married after just one trip?!
Qing Yixue gritted her teeth, feeling somewhat indignant. As a dignified empress, she couldn't possibly steal a man from her own people, could she?
Doesn't she have any shame?!
The female guard kept her eyes down and didn't dare to speak.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Seeing Qing Yixue gritting her teeth and remaining silent, Jun Lin assumed that Er Rou's sudden entrance had displeased the Empress.
As the saying goes, serving a ruler is like serving a tiger; that's how it is with emperors.
If someone breaks in without prior notice, being beaten to death would be considered normal.
Qing Yixue shook her head, offering no explanation, but instead asked, "You're married? Whose daughter is she?"
Although Errou had already called her brother-in-law, she still couldn't help but wonder, what if it was a misunderstanding?
“Oh, no.” Junlin replied very seriously, “So Your Majesty, are you going to bestow a marriage upon me? If so, then how about that little girl? I think she’s quite nice.”
Although Qing Yixue could not possibly control Errou, Junlin still wanted to tease her.
After all, she is an empress; looking across the entire outer region of the Tianxuan Continent, there seems to be only one like her.
At first, Qing Yixue was delighted to hear Junlin's words, but she felt something was amiss as she listened to the rest.
A marriage arranged by imperial decree?
That's not incomprehensible, but what about the arranged marriage with that little girl?
"Wait a minute, even if I were to grant you this marriage, the person you chose is wrong, isn't it? Isn't that your sister-in-law?!"
Qing Yixue couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that she misunderstood something?"
It's impossible for King's Landing to have wives call their brothers-in-law, is that some kind of weird quirk?
Junlin nodded and said, "Yes, but I don't mind. I'm willing to marry both of them."
Qing Yixue: "..."
Qing Yixue felt her fist hardening. Damn it!
After tricking someone's older sister into his relationship, he even started eyeing her younger sister!
Outside the door, Errou peeked out, observing the situation inside.
She heard Junlin's words clearly, but she didn't care, since it wasn't the first time Junlin had done something like this.
What she's curious about now is the exact relationship between King's Landing and this so-called Empress; she has a feeling there's some secret going on.
Errou made no attempt to hide her actions.
When Qing Yixue saw Er Rou peeking around, she assumed that Er Rou was hoping that she would agree to Junlin's request.
I immediately got a little angry.
This adorable little girl has clearly been fooled by Junlin!
She could only feel at ease keeping a ruthless killer like Junlin by her side; she absolutely couldn't let Junlin harm other girls!
Therefore, Qing Yixue righteously and firmly rejected Junlin.
"no!"
"Um... never mind then, I'll rely on myself."
Jun Lin shrugged. In any case, it wasn't up to Qing Yixue to decide this matter.
"Yes, what I mean is..."
"By the way, Your Majesty, have any officials been disrespectful to you recently? I'll have them executed along with their entire families. Let me tell you, these corrupt officials are bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. Only by killing them will they obey you!"
Qing Yixue: "..."
Although Junlin interrupted her, she was very unhappy.
But seeing how much Junlin cared about her made her very happy!
So Qing Yixue thought about it carefully, and finally shook her head and said, "No, those officials have been much more restrained recently."
Since Junlin was appointed as the executioner of nine generations of her family, no official in the court has bothered her again.
Junlin looked disappointed upon hearing this. If there was nothing, then his trip would have been in vain.
"You don't need to be disappointed. It's all thanks to you. Speaking of which, the victory in the last competition against the Chi Xiao Empire was also thanks to you. I haven't had a chance to reward you yet."
As Qing Yixue spoke, a smile appeared on her lips.
Making this guy empress—there couldn't be a greater reward in the world, could there?
Junlin curled his lip in disdain and said, "What reward can you give me? Are you going to reward me with yourself?"
He emptied the Chi Xiao Empire's treasury, so what else in the Qing Luan Empire would he be interested in?
"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about?" Qing Yixue turned her face away, somewhat embarrassed.
She wanted to give Junlin a surprise, but little did she know that her idea would be seen through so easily.
However, remembering what the female guard had just said, she blushed and added, "But... if you want to be the Empress, it's not impossible."
As she spoke, Qing Yixue turned her face away, only to find the main hall completely empty.
Qing Yixue was stunned for a moment, then flipped the table over. "No way! Ah! Couldn't this bastard have waited until I finished speaking before leaving?!"
It's always the same. He suddenly runs away when she's not looking. Is that fun, you bastard!
The female guard standing to the side couldn't help but sigh inwardly; she was helpless against her empress.
If they had simply nodded in agreement, none of this would have happened.
After thinking for a moment, the female guard comforted him, "Your Majesty, although he is a bit impulsive, he still cares about you. Otherwise, he wouldn't come back so often."
Qing Yixue sat in the chair, still somewhat angry.
Seeing this, the female guard continued, "Next time he comes back, Your Majesty, please don't let him speak. You should decide everything yourself, and it will surely be accomplished."
Upon hearing this, Qing Yixue nodded. Indeed, as long as Jun Lin was kept from speaking, everything would be easy to handle.
But thinking about what Junlin had just said about her being granted a marriage, Qing Yixue was still somewhat angry.
He then said, "Issue an arrest warrant for me... no, post some missing person notices, and notify me immediately if there is any news about that bastard."
Qing Yixue originally intended to issue an arrest warrant and forcibly bring Junlin back.
But considering the situation in King's Landing, he changed it to a regular missing person notice.
Outside the palace.
Errou skipped and hopped next to Junlin, asking, "Brother-in-law, the Empress already agreed, so why did she leave?"
Given their cultivation level, they could naturally hear the second half of Qing Yixue's earlier statement.
Junlin explained earnestly, "You don't understand. She offered herself to me as her wife, which is a reward, but for me to become her empress, she's giving me away as a reward. I'm losing out big time!"
Errou nodded, feeling that what she said made perfect sense!
