Guan Zhiyue shuddered and took the opportunity to stand up. She felt so embarrassed that she wished she could just die on the spot!
If she could be reborn, she swore she would never be curious again. So what if she didn't have any memories before she was four? So what if she was curious?
She was absolutely no longer curious; it was too terrifying, and it even startled her.
"Well, I understand, I'll head back now!" Guan Zhiyue swallowed hard. This was just too much! How could there be so many things going on?
Original owner, you completely overturned her view of women in this era. You were so ahead of your time! You're definitely a scumbag woman!
Guan Zhiyue couldn't help but shout in her heart, "The original owner was awesome!"
"Yue'er, is there anything else you want to know? I will tell you everything I know today, and I only ask that you forgive my mistakes."
Li Qiji looked at Guan Zhiyue with deep affection, his expression conveying a sense of apology and pleading for her forgiveness.
Guan Zhiyue chuckled awkwardly, "Hehe, me, hehe..."
"Well, I'm leaving now. We can talk about forgiveness later!" With that, she dashed towards the door, not giving Li Qiji a chance to speak again.
This is absolutely terrifying and so embarrassing!
Especially since those people knew exactly how many moles she had on her body, this...
Guan Zhiyue felt so embarrassed just thinking about it; it was simply...
Bilian saw her mistress running out of the Imperial Study with a flushed face and thought something had happened, so she quickly followed Guan Zhiyue.
Hua Quan was also completely bewildered. Everything was fine just now, so why did the Empress run away? Did the Emperor bully her?
He exchanged a curious glance with Ji Wu, only to see that Ji Wu, that big blockhead, a complete blockhead, was carrying his sword with his arms crossed and striding towards the Imperial Study.
Hua Quan rolled his eyes in exasperation. How could there be such a blockhead? It was infuriating!
Guan Zhiyue raised her hands, making a fan shape, and began to fan herself. The flush on her face slowly subsided. She finally understood that she shouldn't be curious; curiosity killed the cat!
Now the cat didn't kill him, but he killed himself instead. He's utterly ashamed!
"Your Highness, why are you running so fast? Is something chasing you?" Bilian shouted loudly from behind, hands on her hips.
What did her mistress eat? How can she run so fast? She's incredibly fast!
Guan Zhiyue stopped and looked at Bilian who had followed her, saying, "It's nothing, it's just too hot. I'm in a hurry to get back to the Cold Palace to have some iced drinks. This awful weather is killing me!"
Bilian assumed Guan Zhiyue was telling the truth, so she didn't think much of it and said, "It is indeed very hot, let's go back soon!"
After Guan Zhiyue left, the so-called Seventh Imperial Uncle had already arrived at the palace gate, waiting to enter the palace for an audience.
"Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince has arrived," Hua Quan reported in a low voice.
Li Qiji glanced at the memorial without looking up and said, "Send someone to tell the Empress Dowager that the prince she raised back then has returned."
It wasn't that he didn't want to tell his mother; this was indeed his seventh uncle, whom his mother had raised in the past. Now that he had returned, he should take a good look at his mother.
"Does that mean we should also invite the Empress Dowager to the Imperial Study?" Hua Quan asked.
Li Qiji glanced at him, as if to say, "Aren't you talking nonsense? Otherwise, how can you let that scum go when your mother is here? What if that bastard goes crazy and kidnaps his mother?"
Under the tyranny of his emperor, Hua Quan swallowed hard, flicked his whisk, and quickly ran away. It was simply too terrifying! How could his emperor be so terrifying?
Li Qiji watched Hua Quan's departing figure, then turned to Ji Wu and said, "Tonight I will host a banquet to entertain my seventh imperial uncle. Send someone to inform the Empress to bring Chang Le to the banquet tonight. Also, inform Qi Shang to come back and see our seventh imperial uncle."
Ji Wu clasped his hands and withdrew. Li Qiji touched the soft sword at his waist, took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind to get rid of this person.
Just as Li Qiji was making his preparations in full swing, behind a rockery in the inner palace, a man and a woman were whispering to each other.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is no longer concerned about the Japanese, and those overseas personnel are starting to leave Nanding Kingdom one after another. When do you plan to make your move?" An old man's voice rang out, carrying a hint of urgency, as if this matter had to be completed as soon as possible.
A female voice came from the other side of the artificial hill, "What's the rush? Our great Japan never fights a war without preparation. Just wait with peace of mind. You will be a founding general then. Don't worry, the great Japan will not treat you unfairly."
"Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince from the borderlands has returned. Are you sure your Japan still has a chance of winning?"
"Although the Seventh Prince has been exiled to the borderlands, his strategy of biding his time and concealing his abilities makes him a force to be reckoned with. Does your Japan possess the strength to counter him?"
Upon hearing this, the woman couldn't help but laugh, saying with a hint of contempt, "What a joke! My great Japan has always been the most powerful force in the world. What can a mere useless prince from the borderlands do to our great Japan? He can only be humiliated by us."
The old man quickly bowed and clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "Yes, yes, the Great Japan has always been a formidable force."
The woman was very satisfied with these words and then said, "Get out of here. Don't keep coming to see me. If we are exposed, our entire plan will be ruined."
"Yes, then this old minister will take his leave first. Your Majesty, please take care!" The old man said and left, unaware that Guan Zhiyue and Bilian had overheard their conversation. Although they didn't see who it was, they still needed to be reminded of this matter.
The two people on the top of the artificial hill were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. Although they didn't know who the person under their feet was, this was a conspiracy, a crime punishable by the destruction of a country!
"Mother...Mother...Your Majesty, this..." Bilian looked terrified, her eyes wide open, pointing at the people on the artificial hill, her eyes fixed on Guan Zhiyue.
Guan Zhiyue raised her hand to make a shushing gesture and said softly, "If you want to live, you'd better shut up, or you won't even know how you died."
Bi Lian's mouth gaped open, and she could not close it for a long time. She nodded repeatedly. Guan Zhiyue was very satisfied and said, "We don't know who it is yet. After all, we only heard the voices and did not see the specific people. It's not good to say anything. We will report this to the Emperor and let him have an idea. It's important for us to protect our own lives."
Upon hearing Guan Zhiyue's words, Bilian quickly made a zipping motion to seal her mouth, ensuring she wouldn't utter a single word.
Guan Zhiyue then led Bilian and hurriedly ran towards the Cold Palace. They wanted to dig some artificial rock blocks from the rockery and take them back to put in the lotus pond by the door, but they didn't expect to encounter such an exciting thing!
They really didn't do it on purpose, it's just so horrifying...
