Survive, the rules of rebirth for the villain witch

"Chu Youhuang, go and receive the order."

When Yang Yao suddenly heard that Youhuang was to receive the order, she immediately urged her to go and receive it.

You Huang said disapprovingly: "I am just a mortal. If you give me an order, I will accept it. Just don't worry about it and continue eating."

"Chu Youhuang..." Yang Yao felt horrified when she heard this.

"It's okay." You Huang picked up a skewer and said, "It must be that old thief Gu whispered something to the Empress, wanting me to help save the family."

"Are you really not going to save the Gu family?" Yang Yao asked cautiously. You Huang said calmly, "You are not from the Xuanmen, so you don't understand. People who died unjustly have entered the ghost realm. Without the ghost realm's permission, it is impossible for them to leave the ghost realm. If they can leave, it means that the Gu family deserves to die. Who dares to go against the ghost realm?"

"You disobeyed the imperial decree, and I'm afraid your martial gods will be convicted as well."

Yang Yao reminded quietly that there was no trace of ghosts and gods, but imperial power was a real thing.

You Huang smiled sarcastically: "Don't worry, although Her Majesty is not extremely smart, she is not so confused as to not know right from wrong. She knows which is more important, the Gu Mansion or the Wushen Marquis Mansion."

"..."

Yang Yao didn't respond for a moment.

You Huang knew that Yang Yao was an ordinary person, and it was normal for him to fear the imperial power, so he said considerately: "Mr. Yang, please go back first."

"I……"

"Take this with you."

Pushing the unfinished bowl of skewers over, Youhuang picked up the book again.

Yang Yao hesitated for a moment and said thank you, then left the West Pavilion with the skewers in hand. Outside, the call for Youhuang to receive orders continued.

Youhuang was buried in his reading, and paid no attention to the calls from outside. The eunuch who came to deliver the imperial edict couldn't find anyone anywhere, so he simply waited in the dining hall.

The bell rang to signal the end of the test, and students began to arrive one after another to eat.

Looking at the girls who were about the same age, the eunuch delivering the decree didn't know which one it was, and shouted loudly: "Chu Youhuang of the Marquis of Wushen Mansion accepts the decree!"

The students present were stunned for a moment after hearing this, and finally someone stood up and said, "Sir, Chu Youhuang will not eat with us. Gong Xue has specially allowed her to eat with the teachers in the faculty cafeteria."

"Thank you for telling me, young lady. I wonder what position your father holds in the court."

"My father is Guo Bin, the Minister of War." Guo Qianxue answered with lowered eyebrows, finally making her father proud in front of the emperor.

"I'll go ahead, bye!"

"Sir, walk slowly."

When the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict left, he looked at Guo Qianxue meaningfully.

Guo Qianxue was secretly feeling proud when she heard a sarcastic voice saying, "What an idiot!"

"Yeah, how did such a stupid person get into the Intermediate Class 1 in the first place?"

"Just bear with it for another two months. If she ranks in the bottom five for three consecutive months, she will have to get out of Intermediate Class 1."

Upon hearing this, Guo Qianxue was so angry that her lungs almost exploded. She went back to queue angrily. She saw Shen Huaiyue walking towards her with the dishes in her hand. Just as she was about to leave, she was grabbed by a hand.

"Don't forget that Jiang Pingting was beaten at the gate of the palace school."

"I……"

The person who reminded her was her best friend, and also Li Susu, who was also a fellow sufferer among the bottom five.

Li Susu dragged him to the queue and said as they walked: "In the future, when it comes to things related to Chu Youhuang, don't say too much, or you'll get into trouble."

"What do you mean?" Guo Qianxue asked in confusion.

"You'd better stay away from me."

In the past, she liked the silly and obedient Guo Qianxue, but today was different.

After saying that, Li Susu let go of her hand and walked straight over to line up, completely ignoring Guo Qianxue who had been thinking for a long time and couldn't figure out what she had done wrong.

In the staff cafeteria, Youhuang was sitting opposite Yanrong and eating.

Everyone talked about everything except the imperial edict, as if they already knew the result.

Yan Rong counted the dishes on the table and said, "You usually have four dishes and one soup, why is there one dish missing today? Did they not have time to prepare it or did you sneakily eat it in the middle of the meal?"

You Huang said without hesitation: "After the student finished the assignment, he was kicked out of the classroom by Mr. Murong. He found a place to read and eat, and before he knew it, he had finished the dish."

"What is this thing that you can eat while reading a book?"

“A high-end imitation of the spicy skewers from Nanshi Market.”

Yan Rong said softly, "That's a good thing, but it's too far and too troublesome to go there."

You Huang said without raising his head, "Mr. Yan also likes this. I can make it again tomorrow. Anyway, the ingredients are ready. I just need to soak them in the sauce and cook them."

"Mr. Yan is from Jiangnan. He doesn't like spicy food. He only eats a little bit." Murong Xuan sat down and reminded him in a low voice: "He likes sweet food. Even when cooking, you have to add sugar. Otherwise, he won't enjoy the food."

"It's easy to like sweet food." You Huang said disapprovingly, "I heard from them that we will have a day off after the assessment. I will make a new dessert for you then."

"..."

"Chu Youhuang of the Marquis of Wushen Mansion received the order."

The eunuch's shrill voice suddenly sounded, interrupting what Yan Rong was about to say.

Except for You Huang, everyone present stood up. No matter what the outcome was for His Majesty, they dared not defy the imperial power.

After hearing this, Youhuang hesitated for a moment and said coldly: "I am Chu Youhuang. Please read the imperial edict to me first."

When everyone saw that Youhuang didn't even lift his butt or put down his chopsticks, they immediately realized that this was another little fox who could see through His Majesty's thoughts at a glance.

The eunuch delivering the imperial edict was not surprised to see You Huang's reaction. He opened the imperial edict and took a look at the contents that were not sealed with the imperial seal. He said calmly, "Your Majesty's imperial edict, I hope Your Majesty, Prime Minister Gu, will help the Gu family overcome the difficulties."

As soon as Youhuang saw the eunuch's attitude, she realized that Yu Chuxi was not senile yet and did not really want her to help the Gu family.

"Please tell His Majesty: Those who go against the will of Heaven will be punished by Heaven." You Huang stood up and bowed, saying, "To ensure that Your Majesty lives forever, I, your humble servant, will not obey your order."

"Got it." The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict breathed a sigh of relief with a smile on his face, "I will definitely pass on Miss Chu's words. I will take my leave first and will not disturb you all to continue your meal."

"My lord, walk slowly!"

Youhuang nodded slightly, watched the eunuch leave, and immediately sat down to continue eating.

"Where were we just now?" You Huang continued to ask.

"Speaking of making snacks." Murong Xuan reminded with a smile.

“Make a soft, sweet but not greasy dessert, add various dried fruits in the middle, spread butter on the surface, and then garnish with fruits.”

Yan Rong hesitated and said, "How do you know that His Majesty doesn't want you to accept the imperial edict?"

You Huang smiled and said, "First, the old thief Gu ruined the destiny of Fuguang. Your Majesty has done his utmost by not ordering the confiscation of his property. How could he order me to save the Gu family? Second, when the imperial edict was opened, I did not smell the fragrance of the ink used for the imperial seal. Why would I accept an imperial edict without the imperial seal?"

"You are born in the year of the dog, your nose is so sharp."

"Who on earth revealed that I was eating at the faculty and staff canteen?"

Murong Xuan deliberately teased Youhuang, thinking that she would retort, but she answered the question irrelevantly.

"Are you going to beat the informer?" Yan Rong knew You Huang's temper of not wanting to suffer any loss.

You Huang waved his hands and said, "I don't need to do anything, she will be beaten too."
