"Your Majesty, His Majesty has sent a message that he will be staying in the Imperial Study tonight and will not be accompanying you. Please rest early."
The voice of the palace maid came from outside the door. Pei Lu was not staying in the imperial study. That was just an excuse to stay at An Ning's place.
She then stood up, her eyes flickering and a calculating smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"In that case, His Majesty must be busy with official duties. If I pester him, it would seem that I am wrong."
"But..." Of course, the necessary performance must not be missed at all.
She stood outside the palace kitchen with her hair simply tied up, without her usual arrogant and domineering look.
The palace maids and servants knelt on the ground, sweating all over, but they were more confused.
"My Lady, your body is precious. You absolutely cannot enter a place like this where there is so much smoke!"
If His Majesty knew about this, he would chop off their heads!
She frowned and glanced at the servants on the ground, a charming smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She had an extremely beautiful face, but in the eyes of those servants, she looked like the King of Hell crawling out from hell to take his life!
"No one else is allowed to interfere with my decision. Just keep the fire burning and don't interfere with anything else!"
In the end, only the trembling voices of the servants responded with "yes".
The nanny who had been with Gu Yun since she entered the palace bravely asked, "Madam, what are you going to do?"
The Queen had never done any housework before when she was in the General's Mansion. How much could she possibly know about cooking?
"Chicken soup."
Gu Yunchu glanced at her and kicked everyone out.
The people below looked at each other in confusion: "Is there no chicken today?"
So what does their imperial concubine use to make chicken soup?
Although they were confused, seeing Gu Yunchu's attitude just now, no one dared to ask.
She entered the small kitchen, glanced at the small pot of soup next to it, rummaged through the space, and finally found a pack of expired instant noodles.
She sprinkled the seasoning in it and added some hot water.
After finishing it simply, she clapped her palms.
She went out and told everyone, "The chicken soup needs to simmer for a while. You are not allowed to go in. If anything goes wrong, I will chop off your heads!"
She said this in a cold voice, ignoring the puzzled look of the man on the ground.
This... Their queen hadn't even had half a cup of tea when she went in, and the chicken soup was already ready!
Gu Yunchu left on her own, but she was not idle. She painted rouge on her fingertips and deliberately wrapped white cloth around the thumb of her other hand.
[Host, what are you doing? ]
And where did that package of expired old hen noodle soup come from?
Gu Yunchu made up an excuse and said, "I was in Wangchuan before. Other ghosts gave it to me."
As for why she did this?
Of course it is to fulfill the original owner’s wish!
Although the original owner was not a good person, she would get the punishment she deserved when she went to the underworld, but Pei Lu should not have plotted against her like this.
Fulfilling her wish is the reward for occupying her body.
She estimated the time and felt it was about time, so she filled a bowl of "chicken soup". After thinking about it, she felt it was too monotonous, so she took a few pieces of her leftover pastries and put them in.
But when she arrived at the imperial study, she was stopped.
The leading eunuch smiled flatteringly, "Your Majesty, His Majesty is discussing important matters with the Ninth Prince. You should come back another day!"
The eunuch's voice was sharp and thin. Before Gu Yunchu could say anything, the maidservant beside her started complaining: "The sky is so gloomy and it's going to rain soon. We can't let my queen make such a wasted trip, can we?!"
His Majesty loves his queen so much that he would definitely not want her to come here in vain.
The eunuch looked embarrassed, but in his heart he was cursing the palace maid for being too talkative. Not to mention the Imperial Concubine, even if the late Emperor crawled out of the Imperial Mausoleum, he would not be able to enter without the permission of the Ninth Prince.
Meanwhile, in the palace, Wen Zhiyu curled his lips slightly in a feminine manner, "Your Majesty, your sweetheart is waiting outside~"
Pei Lu couldn't help but hold his forehead. Didn't he send someone to tell her?! Why did he come here again?
He pretended to be calm and said, "It's okay. She's very delicate and will go back if she can't stand the grievance."
At most, he would vent his anger on the palace maids, and then he would just coax them in a gentle voice.
Wen Zhiyu took a sip of tea and thought of Gu Yunchu. A hint of dark regret flashed across his narrow, dark eyes.
He hadn't seen the general's daughter, Gu Yunchu, for quite some time, and wondered if she was still as stupid as before.
"Your Majesty, please don't let this beauty down~"
His voice was melodious and pleasant, not at all hoarse and unpleasant like that of other eunuchs.
Pei Lu felt his whole body stiffen and said, "Let the Imperial Concubine come in!"
The people outside the palace hadn't heard the conversation inside. Wanchun glanced triumphantly at the eunuch who had stopped them, then said to Gu Yunchu with joy, "Our queen is truly the apple of His Majesty's eye. Even when he was talking to the Ninth Prince, he couldn't bear to leave her out alone."
Gu Yunchu smiled and praised, "What a sweet little mouth..."
"What a pity..." Her voice suddenly turned cold again, "I don't like to hear this..."
She couldn't bear the heart of that scumbag Pei Lu.
Wanchun froze and said quickly, "It was my fault for talking too much."
She took the brocade box from Wanchun's hand, and the door of the imperial study was opened. She saw Wen Zhiyu sitting in front of Pei Lu at a glance. He also noticed her, raised the teacup in his hand, and smiled at her "gently".
He had fair skin, a slightly thin face, long eyelashes under his eyes, and a teardrop mole that made him look gentle and affectionate. It was a pity that he wore a white ghost mask on the other half of his face.
The man was sitting there in a red robe, attracting everyone's attention.
She passed by Wen Zhiyu and slid into Pei Lu's arms, calling out softly and tenderly, "Sanlang~ You haven't been with me for a long time~"
But her eyes fell on Wen Zhiyu.
Pei Lu was just about to open his mouth to explain and remind Gu Yunchu that there were other people around, but he just moved his lips and before he could say anything, he was held down by a delicate finger.
She lazily and coquettishly shouted: "Even if you have a thousand reasons, ten thousand reasons, it shouldn't be like this~"
Wen Zhiyu seemed to be ignored by her, but a dark light surged in the man's eyes.
She looked even more worthy of the title of "The Evil Concubine Who Brings Trouble to the Country" than when he had seen her before.
He silently raised his hand, his tone captivating: "The Imperial Noble Consort... is truly alluring. Not only Your Majesty, but she almost seduced this Governor's soul away..."
