Gu Qimu remained silent, and the atmosphere in the hall became eerily quiet, spreading like a plague throughout Zhang Da's body.
After a long pause, he spoke coldly, the smile on his lips ambiguous.
"Get out of here and let Little Li in."
Gu Qimu's expression was very unpleasant today. Zhang Da, having received the order, did not dare to linger and left with a slightly flustered look.
Zhang Da wiped away cold sweat as he walked. Gu Qimu's appearance just now was truly terrifying. He was definitely not suited to smiling; his smile was incredibly cruel.
"By imperial decree, the daughter of Li Shiping, the Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, is virtuous, talented, and beautiful. Her marriage to Prince Chen is a match made in heaven. I am delighted. The Minister of Rites and the Director of the Imperial Observatory shall discuss and arrange all the wedding ceremonies."
At this point, Gu Qimu's lips curled up in a cruel smile.
"This old servant will take care of it immediately."
After explaining everything, Gu Qimu got up and walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Back at the Hall of Establishment, Shen Ye summoned the system, first offering a friendly but sexually suggestive greeting to its ancestors, and then questioning why it hadn't come out to warn him that it was a trap.
'This king warned you, but you're just hard of hearing and didn't hear me.'
The system said this with a straight face.
"Can't you say it a few more times? Would it kill you?"
No, but I don't want to say it a second time.
Shen Ye clenched his fists tightly. If the system dared to appear in front of him, he would grab it and slap it a few times to teach it how to be a system.
However, this system is really bad; it just won't appear. Every time he communicates with Shen Ye, it happens in his mind. This puts Shen Ye in a difficult position. He can't exactly pull his own head and hit himself, can he?
Shen Ye sneered, a wicked smile playing on his lips. "Fine, go ahead, but don't regret it."
"Your Majesty." The sound of a palace servant bowing rang out from outside the door.
"Qiu Ci, find a few male concubines to keep me company tomorrow. It's really boring to be alone in this palace," Shen Ye shouted loudly to Qiu Ci, who was guarding outside the door.
"What did you say?" A voice rang out through gritted teeth, exceptionally clear in the large dormitory room.
Qiu Ci, who was waiting outside to serve, was also stunned. The Empress actually wanted her to find several male concubines...
"It's the Emperor! Your Majesty, I pay my respects." Shen Ye bowed with a smile.
Seeing that Shen Ye showed no remorse, Gu Qimu's face turned even uglier than before. He grabbed Shen Ye's arms tightly and asked fiercely, "What did you just say? Say it again!"
"What did Your Majesty just hear?" Shen Ye said softly, looking at Gu Qimu's almost murderous eyes.
Gu Qimu's eyes immediately reddened, and he gritted his teeth and growled, "Say that again!"
Shen Ye said innocently, "Your Majesty, I find it quite boring to be alone in this Lizheng Palace, so I wanted to find a few male concubines to pass the time and share the burden of Your Majesty."
'Host, are you courting death? Quickly comfort the male lead and tell him not to do anything rash.'
Hearing the system's anxious words, Shen Ye laughed even more unrestrainedly.
"You...you dare?" Gu Qimu stared coldly at Shen Ye, who was like a time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.
"What do I have to be afraid of? Is it that the Emperor is allowed to favor other women, but I am not allowed to have another lover?"
As he said this, Shen Ye sneered inwardly. This is what happens when you offend me. Come on, let's die together. Who's afraid of who?
'Host, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. If you bully me again, I'll make you self-destruct. Please don't do this. Quickly apologize and coax the male lead. The mission cannot fail.'
