Fairy, shut up! I'm really not blondie.

Her Majesty the Empress?

It was just a small dog sitting on him.

What right can a puppy have to comment on its owner's decisions?

All I can do is wag my cute little tail to show my support.

The Green Tea Princess fully displayed her "scumbag" nature.

He tapped his ear.

He cast a questioning glance his way.

His face screamed: What did you say? I didn't hear you.

It smells strongly of crumbs.

Gu Beihan: "..."

how come?

This reaction was completely unexpected.

Are all her guesses wrong?

A look of shock, which he could not hide, finally appeared in his eyes, which were as calm as a deep lake.

Su Qing snapped her fingers at just the right moment and said.

"Eh."

"That's a good question."

"Your Majesty, tell me, do I keep my word?"

The empress nodded her chin with an air of noble aloofness.

"nature."

Although it is somewhat detrimental to one's dignity.

But seeing the unexpected expression on Gu Beihan's face, Ji Lanxin was still satisfied.

Don't know why.

She naturally harbored some hostility towards Gu Beihan.

Simultaneously.

have to say.

The feeling of standing on the opposite side of Su Qing versus standing on the same side is completely different.

The former would be furious.

the latter……

It's like winning without even trying.

cough!

natural.

She was simply giving Su Qing a fair and objective evaluation; she wasn't trying to flatter him.

Ji Lanxin straightened the corner of her clothes.

Her counterattack plan is still effective!

With Her Majesty the Empress's personal nod.

Gu Beihan was speechless.

She felt that she had elevated Su Qing's status in her heart by a great deal.

But I didn't expect it.

I had underestimated his status in the imperial court.

Even Her Majesty the Empress listens to this young man's every word.

Who is this?

at this time.

The young man slowly walked up to her and said, word by word.

"So, Palace Master Gu."

"I have the final say."

"how?"

Su Qing did not say it explicitly.

Gu Beihan knew he was referring to the bet.

She bit her lip.

Not reconciled.

But the facts were undeniable, leaving her no choice but to admit them.

Take a deep breath.

Gu Beihan lowered his eyes and head.

"I lost."

at the same time.

She frowned.

I could clearly feel a binding force on my body.

Su Qing smiled slightly.

have to say.

It felt quite nice to see this goddess, who was outwardly gentle to him but inwardly arrogant and ambitious, bowing her head before him.

The boy looked up at the sky and said.

"It's getting late."

"Your Highness, please go back and rest first."

"But……"

Having failed to achieve her goal, how could she be willing to go back like this?

But he didn't finish what he was going to say.

Because she met Su Qing's gaze.

Very bland.

They are not aggressive or fierce.

Yet it exudes an indescribable sense of oppression, which even she cannot easily ignore.

Su Qingyou said quietly.

"You don't want me to ask you questions that you can't answer, do you?"

Gu Beihan: "..."

He's right.

Because of the vow she made, she couldn't lie to the boy in front of her.

Careless.

The aloof Palace Master of Mohan Palace composed herself.

I had to compromise.

He reluctantly bowed to Ji Lanxin, then strode away.

Even their backs.

They all seemed to be tinged with a somber, resentful air.

After Gu Beihan left.

The empress breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes darted around as her mind began to work.

The two sentences that the little thief just said to Gu Beihan seemed to have a deeper meaning.

Could it be that they have some kind of deal?

Princess Scum has extremely strong initiative.

She stood up, went to Su Qing's side, took his arm with both hands, and gave him a smile brighter than the sun.

"Brother Qing."

"What exactly does Palace Master Gu mean by speaking to you like that?"

"Do you want my help?"

A faint, soft touch came from my arm.

The air was filled with the unique, precious, and refreshing fragrance of the palace.

Su Qing gave her a half-smile.

"If you want to know what agreement I reached with Gu Beihan, just ask."

"Your Majesty, your roundabout way of speaking is detrimental to your dignity."

Ji Lanxin: "..."

No.

When have you ever cared about my dignity?

Just kidding!

Su Qing stretched and said casually.

"His Majesty."

"It's time to fulfill our promise."

"……what?"

It is clear.

Pretending to be stupid had no effect on Su Qing.

The young man casually sat down in the chair and said with an air of composure.

"That Palace Master Gu is known for his perseverance."

"Not achieving her goal today doesn't mean she won't come again."

"Your Majesty, when she comes next time, do you think you can send her away with the same excuse?"

Hit the nail on the head.

Ji Lanxin's smile froze.

Have to admit.

He's right.

The goddess Yu Qingxuan is part of Su Qing's network of connections; only he can command her.

Even if it's the same reason, the effect will be completely different when different people say it.

Not to mention, if Gu Beihan really comes again, he will definitely have prepared other countermeasures.

What's even more distressing is that she really can't take the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect lightly, given its immense size.

Even if the attempt to recruit them fails.

It's best not to stand on the opposite side of others.
