Afternoon.

Holy Son Mansion Inner garden.

Gu Qingshan walked in front. He did not deliberately lead the way, but walked slowly along the path covered by the shade of trees.

Zhu Yunyun followed him, his pace was neither hasty nor slow, and there was about one step between them.

Liu Erlong walked beside Zhu Yunyun, and the atmosphere between the two was much more natural than during lunch.

Liu Erlong's eyes swept from Zhu Yunyun's chest, landed on her waist, and then moved away, as if measuring something.

"How do you take care of yourself? You maintain such a good figure."

Yunyun turned her head and glanced at her.

"Get up early in the morning and practice for half an hour every day, and practice for another half hour in the evening. Eat a lighter diet, less oil and less salt, and don't eat too much at night."

Liu Erlong thought for a while, "I also practice Qigong, but why doesn't it seem to have any effect?"

Zhu Yunyun glanced at her and said, "Your practice may be different from mine. I practice flexibility and stretching. I stretch my muscles first in the morning, from head to toe, and then... reward myself once a day to maintain my level in that area."

Liu Erlong was stunned.

"Reward yourself?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhu Yunyun glanced at Gu Qingshan first, then leaned into Liu Erlong's ear and whispered.

"That is, don't rely on men, just use your own hands..."

"Ah?"

Liu Erlong was shocked, could it still be like this?

Zhu Yunyun: "What a fuss, this is very common among female aristocrats. It is said that they can maintain their figure better and look younger."

Then I thought that although Liu Erlong was born in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he was not a formal noble.

Liu Erlong was a little hesitant, but out of a woman's beauty-loving nature, she still asked.

"Your... method of rewarding yourself, can you teach me when you have time?"

Zhu Yunyun thought for a while, "Okay."

Gu Qingshan walked a certain distance, stopped, and looked back at them.

"You two seem to get along quite well."

He heard everything Zhu Yunyun said, not to mention that it had a certain scientific basis.

The path turned a corner, and a small pavilion appeared in front of it.

Gu Qingshan sat down in the pavilion, with his legs crossed and his posture casual.

Zhu Yunyun sat down on the stone bench on the other side of the pavilion, her back still straight. The hem of her cheongsam gathered slightly with her movements, revealing a section of fair skin that dazzled her eyes.

Liu Erlong looked at the distance between the two of them, but did not sit down. She walked to the edge of the pavilion, leaned her back against the pillar, crossed her arms, and stayed there without disturbing anyone's conversation.

Gu Qingshan chewed Blue Silver Leaf in his mouth.

"It's better to finish what Madam Zhu wants to ask here."

Zhu Yunyun's fingers tightened slightly and then relaxed again.

"The recent changes in the Heaven Dou Empire, were they made by the Spirit Hall?"

Gu Qingshan looked at her and was silent for a moment.

"Yes."

"And I can tell you clearly that Spirit Hall has controlled Heaven Dou Empire."

Zhu Yunyun's pupils shrank slightly.

Tell her such an important thing directly without any hesitation?

Gu Qingshan: "Just stay with the Holy Son Mansion tonight. I have more important things to tell you tonight."

Zhu Yunyun hesitated. Although I had prepared myself mentally before coming, it was still not good to stay overnight.

After all, she is a married woman and her husband is still waiting for her.

But then I thought of the more important thing Gu Qingshan said.

She also did this for the Star Luo Empire.

Well that's it.

"Okay, I'll stay."

Three updates a month and a half.

Zhu Yunyun was leaning on the side of the bed, with her long hair scattered on the pillow. She was breathing rapidly and her body was shaking, as if she had endured a magnitude 10 earthquake.

Gu Qingshan hugged her slender waist and secretly sighed that Zhu Yunyun was indeed the mother of Zhu Zhuqing. That kind of charm was not something that a young woman could have.

After Zhu Yunyun calmed down a bit, Gu Qingshan spoke.

"Yunyun, do you Zhu Family want to be the emperor?"

Zhu Yunyun's eyes opened completely and he turned his head to look at him, "His Highness the Holy Son don't make such a joke."

"I am serious. Star Luo Empire cannot stop Spirit Hall. It is only a matter of time before it is destroyed or controlled. Spirit Hall needs a spokesperson. I think you Zhu Family are quite suitable."

Yunyun's body tensed slightly, "With the royal family here, how could we Zhu Family..."

Gu Qingshan's voice is still calm.

"What if the royal family is gone?"

Zhu Yunyun's pupils shrank slightly.

"I heard that the queen of the Star Luo Empire is also from your Zhu Family?"

"Yes, after all, the queen is my cousin."

Gu Qingshan Stop moving.

"That's fine, just cut off the royal family and leave Empress Zhu. Then let Empress Zhu take over, and you Zhu Family can replace Dai Family."

Zhu Yunyun looked at him as if he was nailed there by something.

A few words can determine the life or death of an empire?

Gu Qingshan paused and added.

"Also, Zhu Kun must be removed, and the Zhu Family must be done by you."

She was silent for a long time, then slowly leaned back on the pillow, her eyes fell on the ceiling, and the fire in her heart began to rise.

"This matter..."

"Zhu Kun is my husband after all, and he treats me very well. Isn't this inappropriate?"

Gu Qingshan's voice came from behind her, "Are you sure he's not bad to you?" Zhu Yunyun's body paused slightly.

Gu Qingshan scoffed.

"Is this nice to you? Is it nice to ask you to accompany other men?"

Zhu Yunyun pressed his hand on the window frame and said nothing.

Her gaze fell outside the window, looking at the blurry outline of the city wall in the distance in the dark night.

Gu Qingshan's voice continued to come from behind her, "You don't have any complaints against him? Also, can he satisfy you?"

Zhu Yunyun didn't speak, but her fingers on the window frame tightened slightly.

Zhu Yunyun certainly has complaints. Although she is also a noble and has seen this kind of thing a lot, it doesn't mean that she doesn't mind at all.

The couple had slept in separate rooms for a long time, just maintaining their dignity on the surface.

More importantly, if Zhu Family had the final say, then her two daughters would not have to compete as cruelly as other Zhu Family daughters.

"Okay, I've done it, His Highness the Holy Son needs to take more care of others, they are counting on His Highness the Holy Son!"

Gu Qingshan blew the horn to enter the palace against the moonlight outside the window, and the branches outside the window rustled in the night wind.

Finally there was a thunder and it began to rain heavily.

"Don't worry... I won't... treat you badly."

"Spirit Hall is responsible for all actions. You only need to cooperate with Star Luo Empress."

Zhu Yunyun's cheongsam stopped completely, fell back on the bed, and buried herself deeply into the pillow.

"Okay...Holy Son... Then I'll leave everything to you."

The next day, the sun went up three poles.

The rosy-faced Zhu Yunyun returns to the Star Luo Villa.

Zhu Kun was waiting there early, and when he saw her come in, her expression was as usual.

It seemed as if it was not his wife who stayed away last night.
