Chapter Thirty: The Bewitching Concubine Who Brings Disaster to the Country
The palace maid standing behind her replied very respectfully, "His Majesty said that you don't need to know who is inside, just do as he says."
The palace maid who had pushed open the palace gate returned, and the female official behind her handed the wine and dishes she was carrying to Nan Wan'er.
"His Majesty has already given instructions that we palace servants are not allowed to enter here. We can only trouble Your Majesty the Empress to go in by yourself."
Nan Wan'er was forced to take a step forward by a large food box by a female official.
"Do you really want me to go in alone?" Nan Wan'er looked at the deep palace with some fear.
The palace maids shook their heads, took a step back, and knelt on the ground.
Nan Wan'er was still not used to the way people knelt down so easily in this world. In the end, she sighed and went inside with the food box.
From the surrounding trees, Gu Congxin watched Nan Wan'er go inside, and then followed her, flapping his wings to go back to find Gu Yanjing.
Gu Yanjing dislikes summer. Although he is a Vermilion Bird and belongs to the fire element, he is very afraid of heat. When it gets hot, his whole body feels sticky.
Normally, Gu Yanjing had Lu Lingjun by his side. Lu Lingjun was of the ice element, and as long as Lu Lingjun was around, the air around him was at the most suitable temperature for him.
Now, looking at the five bowls of ice in front of him, he felt extremely irritated.
"Your Majesty, I saw Nan Wan'er go to see Gu Shiyue." Gu Congxin returned from outside and stood on the bird stand in the palace, her eyes full of seeking praise.
Gu Yan nodded hesitantly, feeling completely uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, are you feeling hot?" Gu Congxin carefully moved closer to Gu Yanjing, but dared not get too close.
Gu Yanjing nodded without moving; he had become too lazy to even look at erotic films lately.
Gu Congxin became even more cautious: "Then how about I have someone send over a few more basins of ice?"
Gu Yanjing didn't say anything, but waved his hand.
Gu Congxin immediately flew away as if granted a pardon, disappearing with lightning speed.
Not long after Gu Congxin flew away, another bird flew in. It was a light blue bird and boldly landed on Gu Yanjing's sleeve, tidying up the messy corners of his sleeve.
"Your Majesty," the bird spoke, perched on Gu Yanjing's sleeve; it was Lu Lingjun's voice.
This was formed from Lu Lingjun's divine consciousness.
Gu Yanjing gave a rare "hmm".
The bird continued, "Your Majesty, are you hot?"
Gu Yanjing hummed in response.
Bird: "How about Your Majesty let me in? I feel quite cool."
Gu Yan sat up abruptly and pulled the bird off his sleeve.
However, before the bird could land on the ground, Gu Yanjing picked it up by its feet.
"Did you bring the Ice Soul Pearl?" Gu Yanjing didn't ask, but simply picked up the bird and shook it.
The bird rolled its eyes in distress and flapped its wings: "Your Majesty, even if you want the Ice Soul Pearl, you can't treat me like this."
Gu Yan paused, no longer shaking it upside down, and casually tossed it onto the table.
The bird on the table instantly transformed into a handsome man.
"Your Majesty, have a chilled grape." Lu Lingjun smiled gently and took a chilled grape from the table. Although he was dressed in a respectable manner, his demeanor made him look like a seductive concubine.
Gu Yanjing looked at the grapes in the other person's hand, thinking that he hadn't gotten the things yet, so he lowered his head and ate a grape from Lu Lingjun's hand.
However, Lu Lingjun took the opportunity to gently rub Gu Yanjing's lips.
"So soft." Lu Lingjun was stared at by Gu Yanjing, but he seemed not to see it. He withdrew his hand and licked his fingertips.
"Your Majesty is so sweet."
Gu Yan was shocked: ...So erotic.
