Chapter Eighteen: Attending Court
Lu Lingjun finally realized that he had probably been tricked by his emperor. What kind of person was his emperor? How could he not punish him? Instead, he left as if he were jealous.
He was definitely overthinking it.
Gu Yanjing returned to the human realm, waved his sleeve to dispel the system's power that imprisoned time, and casually tapped to retrieve the system that had been sulking in his bedroom.
"Your Majesty." Gu Congxin felt her time confinement being broken and instantly looked at Gu Yanjing with teary eyes.
Oh dear, His Majesty has finally arrived. He was bullied terribly by Lu Lingjun.
"Hmm." Gu Yan glanced at him.
"Is Nan Wan'er dead?" Gu Yan asked him in surprise.
Gu Congxin was stunned, and the tears that had reached her eyes instantly welled up and she held them back: "Dead? Your Majesty, you are so smart. How did you know that Nan Wan'er was dead?"
Gu Yanjing threw the system, which looked like a complete idiot, down: "There will only be one female lead in this world."
There aren't too many chosen ones in each plane, otherwise there simply wouldn't be enough to go around.
"So what do we do next?" Gu Congxin rolled three times on the ground and bumped into Yuanbao's feet as he pushed the door open.
Upon seeing the arrival of outsiders, the system immediately fell silent and obediently allowed Yuanbao to pick it up and place it on the bird stand in the room.
"Your Majesty." Yuanbao knelt before Gu Yanjing.
The emperor had been missing for many days, and Prime Minister Lu had been keeping the news under wraps. Now His Majesty had returned, but Prime Minister Lu had disappeared again.
"Hmm." Gu Yanjing nodded and had someone come in to help him change into a dragon robe.
Yuanbao hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Lu has gone missing."
Gu Yan didn't even flinch: "Yes, I know."
I personally locked him outside, and waited for him in the Heavenly Realm for over a month.
“Then…” Yuanbao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing Gu Yanjing’s calm and composed expression, he couldn’t say anything for a moment.
"Oh, right, pack your things, I have to attend the morning court tomorrow."
Gu Yanjing flipped through the list of officials in the imperial court, reading ten lines at a glance.
Yuanbao stared at Gu Yanjing in shock, countless theories flashing through his mind, before he could only kneel down and accept the decree.
That Lu Xiang, who treated His Majesty the way he did back then, is probably gone now.
Lu Lingjun: You're the one who's gone, your whole family is gone.
The emperor attending court is a very normal thing, but Gu Yanjing is a foolish ruler who has not seen his ministers even once in three years. Many ministers who have entered the court in these three years have never seen this emperor.
Gu Yanjing privately complained to Gu Congxin: "Why do I feel that this world is very unreliable? What emperor hasn't been kicked out for not attending court for three days straight?"
Moreover, the emperor's brothers and nephews are still alive.
It's truly a miracle that this guy was able to sit on the throne for three decades without being deposed.
Gu Congxin couldn't explain it; he had no idea where this unreliable dimension came from.
He was just an innocent system, completely unable to answer such fundamental questions.
Gu Yanjing decided not to expect the system, that idiot, to actually give him an answer.
After all, he's going to be very busy.
On his first day of court, the very busy Gu Yanjing ruthlessly beheaded thirteen ministers and then launched the imperial examination.
He found a bug in the Heavenly Dao of this plane.
According to the original plot, he should only be able to be killed by the male protagonist, but now the male protagonist was almost killed by him, which means that no matter what he does, any force in this world can kill him.
If that's the case, why is he still being so cautious?
Gu Congxin watched helplessly as his emperor cleverly found a bug in the Heavenly Dao and acted recklessly, yet he was powerless to stop it.
God, I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to fix the bugs and maintain the normal operation of the plane, but I've done what I was told.
