The Evil Emperor's Favorite: The Sickly and Poisonous Concubine Goes Crazy

The next day,

Yue Xun's men followed the Minister of War's men out of the capital, and soon after they left the capital, the Minister of War's men were dragged into the forest and never came out again.

But the people in Beijing knew nothing about this matter.

The imperial study room in the palace.

Gu Yan'an had just returned to Beijing from the Imperial Camp. He was standing on the dark green marble tiles of the imperial study in a suit of dark iron armor, with his black hair tied up high and an air of dignified and arrogant.

"When are you planning to leave?" Emperor Zhou stood behind the desk and looked at the young man standing in the middle of the study.

"Five days later."

"Are the people accompanying you ready?" Emperor Zhou asked, standing behind the desk and looking at Gu Yan'an.

"Ah."

"This journey is dangerous, so I let Shadow follow you. I feel more at ease with him around." Emperor Zhou's brows were filled with worry.

"No need. I don't like strangers following me." Gu Yan'an said coldly with icy eyes.

Emperor Zhou looked at his cold eyes and was silent for a while. After a long while, he compromised and said:

"OK then."

"Also, why haven't I heard you talk about your relationship with Miss Su?" Emperor Zhou hesitated for a moment before looking at Gu Yan'an and asking.

The coldness in Gu Yan'an's eyes grew stronger, and he looked at Emperor Zhou and replied in a deep voice:

"This is my personal matter, and I dare not disturb Your Majesty."

"Do you really have to have Miss Su?" Emperor Zhou frowned and asked softly, thinking of what Master Huihai had said to him last night. He was secretly worried.

"What does your majesty mean?" Gu Yan'an raised his eyes and looked suddenly at Emperor Zhou, his eyes as sharp and vigilant as an eagle.

Emperor Zhou looked at his alert and vigilant expression, and felt a prick of pain in his heart. He sighed and said:

"I invited Master Huihai to the palace yesterday night to calculate your fate. Miss Su Er has an unlucky fate, not a lucky one. If you marry her, it may bring trouble to you!"

Gu Yan'an looked at Emperor Zhou, his whole body filled with coldness, the corners of his eyes were red, and his hands hanging at his sides were clenched into fists.

"Heh - why should Your Majesty worry so much about my personal affairs? You even invited Master Huihai to the palace to tell the fortunes for me and Miss Su Er. Did the master make a mistake? Shouldn't I be the one with bad luck in my fate?" Gu Yan'an raised the corners of his mouth slightly with a sarcastic smile, and the coldness in his eyes reached the extreme.

"Besides, Your Majesty should know that what I hate most in my life is these so-called fate and destiny!" Gu Yan'an looked straight at Emperor Zhou with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"Yan'an! Don't get me wrong, I'm doing this for your own good!" Emperor Zhou explained as he looked at Gu Yan'an, who was suppressing his anger.

He invited Master Huihai to the palace last night, hoping to match their horoscopes and grant them marriage. But Master Huihai told him that although their fates were intertwined and it was a destined marriage, Miss Su was born with bad luck, and Yan'an might be in danger of losing his life if he stayed with her.

Master Huihai’s Buddhist teachings were transcendent and his calculations were never wrong.

"For my own good? Your Majesty, have you forgotten who imprisoned me on the altar? And who locked me in a dark room without sunlight for two whole years?" Gu Yan'an's voice was as cold as winter ice, and the atmosphere in the imperial study suddenly became tense.

Emperor Zhou staggered and suddenly sat down on the dragon throne behind him. The color in his eyes could not be concealed, as if he had aged several years in an instant.

"I..." Emperor Zhou opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.

"My marriage will be decided by King Beiyang, so Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about it. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Gu Yan'an looked at Emperor Zhou with a cold and indifferent look, bowed to him, and strode out of the imperial study.

Mu Xi looked at Gu Yan'an who walked out of the study with a cold face and a terrifying murderous aura, making people dare not get close to him.

She frowned slightly and walked quickly into the imperial study.

There was no one to serve him in the imperial study. Emperor Zhou sat alone in the huge study. The emperor who looked down on everything in the court now seemed like just a lonely old man.

"Father..." Looking at the lonely and desolate Emperor Zhou, Mu Xi called out softly.

Only then did Emperor Zhou come to his senses.

"Xi'er is here!" Emperor Zhou looked at the daughter he had raised since childhood, concealed the sadness on his face, and spoke to Mu Xi in a gentle voice.

"Father, what happened to you and my brother...Prince Gu?" Mu Xi asked softly with a frown as he looked at Emperor Zhou.

Emperor Zhou bowed his head and remained silent for a long time. At this moment, Mu Xi seemed to see from him the nameless bitterness and sadness as a father.

"Nothing. Perhaps father is making a big deal out of nothing." Emperor Zhou looked outside the door, his voice filled with endless vicissitudes.

"By the way, I always hear you mention the Second Miss Su. Why don't you invite the Second Miss Su to the palace one day so that father can see her." Emperor Zhou looked at Mu Xi and said in a gentle voice.

No matter what Yan An thought, he had to meet this Second Miss Su before he could feel at ease.

"Yes." Mu Xi nodded.

"But Miss Su was just injured and hasn't fully recovered yet. It may take some time."

"Well. Then let's wait until she gets better before we meet, so as to avoid Yan'an misunderstanding. I see that he is very nervous about this Second Miss Su." Emperor Zhou said softly.

"Yes, it seems that only when I am with Miss Su Er can I see my brother smile from the bottom of his heart." Mu Xi said with a smile.

After listening to her, a hint of hesitation flashed in Emperor Zhou's eyes.

Zhenguogongfu.

The Beiyang Palace sent the marriage certificate early in the morning, and after exchanging the certificate, the marriage between the Zhenguo Mansion and the Beiyang Palace was finally settled.

Seeing box after box of red-sealed gifts being carried into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, everyone sighed that the sickly young lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was so blessed. The Prince of Beiyang was the youngest general of the second rank in the court. Even if we ignore his many achievements, his handsome face, which was like a demon or an immortal, how many girls in the capital would be secretly worried about his engagement.

Many common people gathered in front of the palace, all leaning in to watch the fun. The Beiyang Palace was truly worthy of its status as a powerful force in the northern border for many years. These two gifts sent to the Zhenguo Mansion alone far exceeded the gifts that the royal family sent to the Crown Princess's Mansion when the Crown Prince married his concubine.

It's like this right after the engagement, I wonder what the scene will be like when the wedding comes.

Not far behind the crowd, a low-key and luxurious carriage stopped at the corner of the street.

A corner of the curtain was gently lifted, and a pair of stunning eyes calmly looked towards the Zhenguo Mansion. Looking at the lively crowd in front of the mansion, a dark light flashed in those eyes.

The car curtain slowly fell, and a warm and gentle voice was heard.

"Let's go."

"Young Master, don't you want to go in and take a look?"

"No, come back to see Xiaoqi in two days." The man's voice was elegant and gentle.

"Yes."

The carriage slowly drove out of the street in front of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

Zhenguogongfu

"Miss, this morning the prince just as you expected, personally led a team of people out of the city secretly and went to Wushao." Yun Ya said softly to Su Jingning.

"Ah."

Su Jingning had long expected that the prince would go to Wushao in person.

The prince is a cautious person and he will not act rashly without a foolproof plan.

But even so, this matter will be brought to the court before tomorrow.

She wanted to see how the Duke Qing's Mansion would end this matter.
