Luo Jiu was brought back to her senses by Gu Muchen's voice. She withdrew her mischievous hand, coughed lightly, sat down next to Gu Muchen, and asked:
"Uncle, shall I find you a wife... Hmm... Uncle, would you like to marry the Holy Maiden?" Luo Jiu asked softly, her voice full of temptation, like a human trafficker.
"Saintess? Who? I don't like her." Gu Muchen's mind was a little confused, but he still knew how to refuse.
I really don't like it. Isn't this the official couple? Did 007 lie to me? But why am I a little happy?
"So, who does the Imperial Uncle like? Should Little Nine tie him up for you?" Luo Jiu asked curiously. She found Gu Muchen, who was drunk, to be inexplicably cute and easy to fool.
“I like it…” Gu Muchen murmured, then lowered his head as if he had fallen asleep.
"Hey, Imperial Uncle?" Luo Jiu didn't hear the name after that. Seeing that Gu Muchen had fallen asleep, she quickly patted him and called out, "Who does Imperial Uncle like? Little Jiu didn't hear you. Little Jiu didn't hear you, so you won't be able to find a wife."
No matter how much Luo Jiu called out to him, Gu Muchen seemed to have drunk too much and had already fallen into a deep sleep.
"My God, how did you find me when you were so drunk?" Luo Jiu sighed, wanting to hear something but not getting it, leaving her with a suspenseful question, which was really torturous.
"Your Majesty, should we have the Regent carried back, or..." Eunuch Li stepped forward, hesitating to speak.
"...Fine, I'll just find him a guest room to sleep in." Luo Jiu looked annoyed.
...
The next morning.
Gu Muchen slept soundly through the night, and when his biological clock finally kicked in, he woke up with a headache. Looking around, he realized this wasn't his own palace.
I drank too much yesterday... and then...
Before Gu Muchen could even process what was happening, the maid outside the door, perhaps having heard him get up, hurriedly pushed the door open and entered, carrying a cup of honey water.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Regent. You drank too much last night and stayed overnight at the palace. His Majesty instructed me to bring you a cup of hangover tea once you have sobered up." The maid respectfully served a cup of honey water.
Gu Muchen hadn't remembered anything at first, but after hearing the palace maid's explanation, he recalled how he got drunk after the banquet last night, went to the palace and caused a scene, and how he was tricked into revealing information.
Gu Muchen's face immediately darkened.
Seeing Gu Muchen's expression change drastically, the palace maid beside him still continued, "His Majesty said that because he publicly agreed to the request of the Southern Kingdom's Holy Maiden, he would be grateful if the Regent would accompany her for the next few days and would not need to attend the morning court."
To everyone's surprise, after she finished speaking, Gu Muchen's expression turned even uglier, and this was not just a visible change.
He snorted, didn't take the hangover tea from the maid, and stormed off.
...
"Is the Imperial Uncle really very unhappy?" Luo Jiu asked in a low voice after hearing the palace maid's report from the morning court.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Luo Jiu sat in her chair, stunned for a moment. Why was this male lead so difficult to please? He didn't even want the beauty offered to him.
Once everyone had left, Luo Jiu addressed the air, "Did the Regent accompany the Holy Maiden on her excursion?"
"Yes." A man in black suddenly appeared and knelt respectfully in front of Luo Jiu.
As emperors, they have always had an institution for secretly training secret guards. Luo Jiu only learned about this recently and has taken control of the secret guard warrants for her generation.
Luo Jiu suddenly felt a little unhappy after hearing the affirmative answer.
"Yueying, get ready, we're leaving the palace." Luo Jiu said suddenly to Yueying as she walked out.
