Chapter Three: Lu Lingjun?
It was almost noon when the eunuchs and maids came in carrying clothes and toiletries, moving very gently and barely daring to breathe.
This was probably due to the palace's reputation for changing a small group of people every three days and a large group every five days.
"Step back." Gu Yanjing raised his hand and waved away the palace maids who were combing their hair and putting on their crowns.
Immediately, a group of people knelt down behind him.
"What's wrong? Has another palace maid angered His Majesty? Just send her away. Don't upset your health, Your Majesty."
Someone chuckled softly and walked step by step behind Gu Yanjing, turning to the side to pick out a delicate hairpin for him and placing it in his ink-black hair.
"Indeed, only Your Majesty is truly worthy of wearing this blood-red jade hairpin. It was not in vain that I went to great lengths to conquer the Floating Kingdom for you." The man straightened the jade hairpin in Gu Yanjing's hair, his icy fingers accidentally landing near Gu Yanjing's ear, which felt a little cold.
Gu Yanjing looked at the very familiar face in the mirror, said nothing, but his expression was somewhat gloomy.
Jin Yuan watched with trepidation, fearing that the two would start arguing again, and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Lu meant well."
Nowadays, who doesn't know that the emperor is Lu Xiang's most cherished and unapproachable enemy?
Gu Yan raised an eyebrow in surprise, waved his hand, and said without getting angry, "All of you, step back."
The palace servants breathed a sigh of relief and left, closing the door behind them.
Gu Yan was startled to hear the door close. He stood up and, under the system's horrified gaze, slapped the man behind him across the face.
"Lu Lingjun?"
Ugh, this is a real fight!
Who is this? He got torn apart by the host the moment they met.
"Why is Your Majesty angry?" Lu Lingjun's head was turned to the side by the blow, his mouth was bruised and bleeding, and his ears were ringing, but he still managed to smile.
Gu Yan was surprised but did not answer. He glanced at the composed Lu Lingjun and then raised his hand to touch the corner of Lu Lingjun's bright red lips.
Sure enough, I saw a puppy-like look in the handsome man's eyes, as if he wanted to be petted.
He slapped her again with his backhand.
Oh.
Rubbish.
The ghost lingers.
Gu Yanjing was about to leave after bypassing Lu Lingjun, but Lu Lingjun stepped forward with the system in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, you dropped something."
system:......
Trembling, he dared not refute.
Things are things, better than losing your life.
But who the hell is this? How can they lift him up by hand?
Waaah, what is this? It's so scary! If he had known this job would be this terrible, he wouldn't have come out to earn money.
So what if we're poor? So what if we die of poverty? It's no big deal.
Gu Yanjing left without looking back, ignoring Lu Lingjun and the system.
Seeing that the system was useless, Lu Lingjun casually threw it on the ground and followed Gu Yanjing out.
The system rolled three times on the ground and successfully crashed into the leg of the stool: ...Let me tell you, if I could beat you, I would have jumped up and cursed you long ago, sob sob sob.
Gu Yanjing returned shortly after leaving, looking as if he had just eaten a meal. The fierce look on the big boss's brows had softened slightly after he had eaten.
The system slowly rolled over and landed at the feet of the big shot, leaning against him quietly, it was itching to ask about the relationship between the big shot and the other big shot.
But looking at the big boss's expression...
The system silently backed down.
However, the big boss wasn't going to let him off the hook.
Gu Yan was shocked as he searched through the mess left behind by the original owner of the body. He felt a mixture of disgust and nausea, and casually burned it all away with a wisp of Vermilion Bird True Fire.
Upon seeing the Vermilion Bird True Fire, which could incinerate anything, the system instantly began to tremble uncontrollably.
Oh my god, that tiny bit could kill him!
That guy is terrifying.
Why is the current situation different from what's depicted in the story?
