Shangguan Wan despised him in her heart. Damn man, did he eat her tofu in the name of filial piety?

However, she still understood a bit of propriety. Since the Emperor's acting is so realistic, wouldn't it be unbefitting if she didn't perform alongside him?

Shangguan Wan stretched out her hands to clean up Nangong Yu's clothes. Her little woman's posture, coupled with her signature smile, purposely raised her voice, "Your majesty, don't tire yourself out. Your concubine will prepare some food and wine to welcome Your Holiness!"

Then, under the envious gaze of Senior Servant Jing and the other palace maids, the Emperor and Empress said their goodbyes reluctantly, as if the sky and earth would collapse soon after leaving.

The first thing that Nangong Yu did when he returned to the Imperial study was to present General Xuan, Chu Jingli, to him.

Chu Jingli was the same age as the emperor, and he paid respect to the country's great general. He was handsome, beautiful, and extraordinary, all the girls in the capital had wished for him.

Thus, there was a rumour that the Great General and the Emperor were actually cut off from each other.

The Emperor was so old and should have had many concubines in his harem, but he had always been left empty in the harem. Coupled with the fact that he was usually the closest to the great general, he caused such a storm.

At the same time, she explained why the empress dowager liked Shangguan Wan so much. With the existence of the empress dowager, the rumors would be easily dispelled.

"I want you to personally visit Nanyan and bring back a portrait of the princess."

Chu Jingli was very surprised, "What is it?"

"I suspect that she is a fake." Nangong Yu directly spoke his thoughts. In front of Chu Jingli, he would never hide anything.

Although he shared the same intentions as the Emperor, he wanted to subdue the world.

To him, the battlefield was a stage for a performance. Every battle was his best performance. He didn't like to kill people, but he liked to release that kind of pleasure, the joy that was exchanged with sweat.

"The Emperor of Nanyan would not dare, but what about the Princess? If a woman doesn't want to become a tool for marriage, there is a high possibility for her to avoid marriage, and Qi He is a former example. "

She was the daughter of an elder brother of the Emperor. She was seventeen years old, and Nangong Yu initially wanted to betroth her to the eldest son of the Censor. Actually, that man wasn't bad either, but she didn't like dogs, so she refused to marry him.

In front of Nangong Yu, it was useless to reject his marriage. He had many methods to make her give in, but before he could do anything, she had already run away.

Since the princess had fled, the censor would naturally ask the emperor for her. What could he do? Since he wasn't a deity, he wouldn't be able to produce a 'Wei He' for him.

The two sides remained in a deadlock until Nangong Yu couldn't resist anymore. Unluckily, the young master from the Censor had accidentally fallen off his horse and became a cripple.

At that moment, Qi and the bad girl came back with a snow-white dog in their arms.

The censor felt he had no face to marry, so he annulled the engagement. This time, Wei and He were peacefully living a carefree life.

"This humble subject understands." Chu Jingli no longer tried to argue. He understood the Emperor's personality and had always believed in what he saw. No matter what others said, it would be futile.

"Jing Li, you're my trusted aide. You can't let me down." It had to be said that the king's emotions had been going up and down these days. Every time he wanted to succeed, something went wrong. He couldn't afford to take any more blows.

"Your Majesty, please be at ease. This humble subject will ride a horse quickly and bring back the beautiful music as soon as possible." Seeing Nangong Yu's verdant face, he knew how torturous his recent life had been.

Chu Jingli had always been very considerate. After returning to the mansion and briefly packing up, he quickly rode his horse towards Nanyan.

Nangong Yu had a cold expression as he walked towards the Phoenix Restoration Hall, Lin Lin silently stood behind his with his head lowered.

The emperor had worked really hard. He still had to deal with the torturous empress after dealing with the affairs of the imperial court.

These were the emperor's exact words, not something he, Xiao Lin, made up himself.

Nangong Yu had never expected her to treat him with good wine and dishes, but when he saw the dishes on the table and the intoxicating wine, he suspected that he had poisoned the wine and dishes.

Only later on did he learn that the empress dowager had sent someone to deliver them. She said she was the one who cared for the empress dowager and didn't want her to hurt her hand while she cooked.

They also heard that the empress dowager had told the emperor to stay the night and return to the palace with the phoenix.

It was indeed a difficult task.

"Chenqie can't do it!" A certain woman hugged Nangong Yu's arm as she pleaded, her eyes filled with tears.

Nangong Yu drained the cup of wine in one gulp and hatefully said, "You won't be able to escape."

"This is clearly revenge!" A certain woman could not hold back her anger. A hypocrite who would add insult to injury was truly annoying.

"Your majesty sleeps on the floor, is that even possible?" Nangong Yu.
