Chapter Nine would have been better off being dragged into soup.
"If you stay away from me, I might be more patient with you." Gu Yanjing turned his head away, avoiding the delicate kisses on his neck.
"Is Your Majesty unable to break free from me, or unwilling to do so?" Lu Lingjun, however, took advantage of the situation and kissed Gu Yanjing's lips.
Lu Lingjun understood, and with a flick of his sleeve, he closed the wide-open palace doors.
The system, which had finally made its way here, was knocked out of the door, leaving the whole chicken dumbfounded.
*Sobbing* Does the host not want me anymore?
What should I do? I'm so sad, so heartbroken, and I want to cry.
I'd rather be dragged into making soup.
Without waiting for the soup to be made, Yuanbao, taking advantage of the system's sadness, quietly approached, swiftly covered the chicken's beak, picked it up, and ran away.
Two eunuchs followed him. Only after they ran out of the palace gates did they dare to breathe freely.
Everyone else, including the beauty who had just been startled by Gu Yan, was kneeling outside. The sun was high in the sky, but no one dared to stand up.
"Take this chicken and stew it. Keep a close eye on it, don't let it escape again." Yuanbao took the chicken out of his arms and handed it to one of his apprentices.
"By the way, what about that little palace maid who ran away earlier? Which palace did she come from? She doesn't know the rules and can't even do a simple task right." Yuanbao watched one of the eunuchs leave and asked the remaining eunuch.
"This servant does not know either. The people serving His Majesty change frequently, and this servant has never seen that little palace maid before. She is probably a new one who arrived today."
The young eunuch replied with his head bowed.
"Check back later and teach her some manners. But forget it, let's just transfer her away. That girl is a womanizer, and I'm afraid Prime Minister Lu won't like her." Yuanbao thought for a moment, and finally decided to transfer her away.
Today, His Majesty was so enraged by the mere sight of a beautiful woman, Lu Xiang. It seems that His Majesty cannot keep people with good looks around him.
Gu Yan was shocked: What did you say, you damned servant?
The Phoenix Clan knows they like good-looking people. Are you planning to put an ugly person in front of me?
However, Gu Yanjing couldn't care less about any of that at this moment.
"Your Majesty, don't be afraid, I am cold." He's an ice phoenix, isn't it cold enough to hold him?
Lu Lingjun did not release the person. He conjured a folding fan with one hand and fanned Gu Yanjing.
Exhausted from the afternoon, Gu Yan slowly nestled in Lu Lingjun's arms and fell asleep as the cool breeze blew.
After Gu Yanjing had fallen into a deep sleep, Lu Lingjun carried him to the bedchamber, making sure to leave him a few pieces of ice.
The Vermilion Bird belongs to the fire element, and it is indeed more afraid of heat than other bird species.
The beautiful woman was pale; after an afternoon in the sun, even the most beautiful woman would have gotten a tan, let alone one whose face was dirty and covered in tear stains.
"Prime Minister Lu, spare my life! Prime Minister Lu, spare my life!" The beauty trembled and kowtowed to the ground.
"Silence! His Majesty is still resting. No one is allowed to disturb him." Lu Lingjun frowned, somewhat displeased.
The beauty immediately fell silent and began kowtowing repeatedly to Lu Lingjun.
"Leave the palace and never come back. This palace has no place for you." Lu Lingjun didn't even look at the beauty and strode past.
The beauty was overjoyed and bowed again.
"Everyone in the music hall, disperse. No one is allowed to speak of what happened today. If I hear even the slightest whisper of it, I won't bother to cause trouble for anyone who does. You will all go to the Yellow Springs."
Everyone bowed in gratitude, and only relaxed after Lu Lingjun's figure disappeared.
Yuanbao got up and ordered two eunuchs to drag the beauty out.
The others from the music hall also helped each other leave.
The eunuchs and palace maids were also able to stand up.
After a long time, the little palace maid who looked exactly like the female lead was finally found.
