She paused while speaking and stared at Gu Qingshan meaningfully.
"It is also said that His Highness the Holy Son is invincible in single combat, even in group battles."
"Well, Yun Yun has a deep understanding of it."
Empress Zhu's smile became deeper, her eyes stopped on his lips for a moment, and then returned to his eyes.
"Then I'm going to have a good experience tonight."
At the same time, in the living room.
Zhu Yunyun was still sitting where she had just been. When she heard Empress Zhu's footsteps disappearing and the door closing, she raised her head and looked in the direction of the stairs.
She put down the tea cup in her hand, rested her fingertips on the edge of the cold cup for a moment, then stood up and walked towards her room.
She walked slowly, neither in a hurry nor in a hurry.
The sound of her closing the door came from the end of the corridor, soft and steady, as if someone had finally confirmed that a certain plan was progressing smoothly.
In the dark room, the lamp was still on. The shadow of the lamp swayed slightly in the breeze, then stabilized again.
Empress Zhu straightened up and looked at his face for a long time.
After a moment, she withdrew her gaze, smoothed the folds of her skirt, and sat by the bed.
"His Highness the Holy Son."
Gu Qingshan turned sideways and looked at her.
Empress Zhu glanced at him, smiled, and didn't say anything more. He just stretched his hand to the silver hairpin on his bun.
"You just said you wanted to see something?"
"His Highness the Holy Son don't think I should come?"
Gu Qingshan did not answer, but asked another question.
"Zhu Family has just taken Star Luo Empire, and the foundation is unstable. As the new emperor, you came to Spirit City in person and stayed at the Holy Son Mansion - what will the old officials in the court think if they know this?"
Empress Zhu smiled in relief.
"It doesn't matter what the old ministers in the court think."
Her voice was very steady.
"The important thing is that Zhu Family knows how he got to this position."
Gu Qingshan looked at her, "You are self-aware."
Empress Zhu's smile still hangs on his lips.
"Thank you His Highness the Holy Son for the compliment."
She turned slightly sideways and gently gathered the corner of her skirt.
"So, what are His Highness the Holy Son going to do with me tonight?"
Gu Qingshan glanced at the millstone that became larger as he sat down.
Don't wait for Gu Qingshan to speak.
Empress Zhu climbed up directly, then lowered his head and combed his hair.
An hour later.
The room finally became quiet.
Empress Zhu held his sore neck.
"Yunyun really didn't lie to me. The power of His Highness the Holy Son is beyond people's expectations."
Empress Zhu's voice is very soft, with a hoarseness that has not completely subsided.
"You do know how to talk."
The queen's smile still hung on her lips. She lowered her head and straightened her already wrinkled skirt.
"His Highness the Holy Son Don't you want to try something else?"
"You're not going to leave tonight?"
"His Highness the Holy Son Do you want me to leave?"
Gu Qingshan didn't answer, but he didn't urge her to leave either.
He leaned back against the head of the bed again, his posture relaxed, and his eyes fell on her glossy lips.
Empress Zhu slowly came closer.
The morning light gradually became brighter, and in the Holy Son Mansion's garden, dewdrops were still hanging on the leaves.
Zhu Yunyun has already gotten up and is sitting at the tea table in the front hall, holding a cup of freshly brewed tea in his hand.
Her mental state looks much better today than yesterday, her lips are rosy, and her cheeks have a natural rosiness.
She heard footsteps coming from the direction of the stairs and looked up.
Empress Zhu came down the stairs, had changed into clean clothes, and tied her hair back up again.
She walked to sit across from Zhu Yunyun, picked up another cup of tea that had been poured on the table, took a sip, and put it down.
"You are right, His Highness the Holy Son is indeed terrifyingly powerful."
"Of course, I would lie to you about this kind of thing?"
Soon Gu Qingshan also came down the stairs.
He also seemed to be in good spirits and walked briskly.
Zhu Yunyun and Empress Zhu put down their tea cups at the same time and stood up.
"His Highness the Holy Son, it's time for us to set off back to the Star Luo Empire."
Gu Qingshan nodded.
"Be careful on the road."
Star Luo Empire's carriage stopped for a while at the door of the Holy Son Mansion. The two maids checked their luggage and opened the door.
Zhu Yunyun and Empress Zhu got on the bus in turn.
The carriage started slowly, its wheels making regular soft sounds on the stone road, and gradually moved away.
Gu Qingshan stood at the door and watched the carriage disappear at the corner of the street.
Liu Erlong's voice came from behind.
"Everyone has left, but they are still watching."
Gu Qingshan turned around and walked into the house.
When Gu Qingshan arrived at the Pope Palace, the sun had already shone on the steps in front of the palace.
Bibi Dong is sitting behind the desk in the side hall of the Pope Palace, holding a file in his hand, as if he has been reading it for a while.
She wore lavender casual clothes today, without a crown, and her hair was tied back casually with a wooden hairpin. Her posture was much more relaxed than on formal occasions.
Gu Qingshan sat down opposite her, and she raised her eyes to look at him.
"Sister Zhu Family stayed at your place last night?"
She asked very casually, as if she mentioned it casually.
Gu Qingshan was about to chew Blue Silver Leaf and stopped for a moment.
"Ahem, yes, teacher."
Bibi Dong glanced across his face, closed the file, and put it back on the desk.
"Qingshan, you are still young. Don't be too greedy about this kind of thing."
Gu Qingshan: "..."
"Say something serious."
Her voice was deeper than before.
"Zhu Family replaced Dai Family and became the royal family of the Star Luo Empire. What are your plans next?"
Gu Qingshan Change Blue Silver Leaf from the left corner of the mouth to the right corner of the mouth.
"Progressing steadily, there is no need for big moves for the time being. Zhu Family has just secured its position, and the people's hearts have not yet fully surrendered. There are still many old ministers in the DPRK who are watching secretly."
Bibi Dong nodded.
"You can see clearly, but are you sure you can completely control Zhu Family?"
Gu Qingshan: "Don't worry, teacher."
"Zhu Family knows very well how they got their position. They know better than anyone else that only by being tied to the Spirit Hall can they secure this position."
Bibi Dong: "Are you so sure?"
Gu Qingshan stuffed Blue Silver Leaf back into his mouth.
"It's not like you haven't seen my toughness before."
Bibi Dong was stunned for a moment, and then his cheeks felt slightly hot.
She lowered her gaze, picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip before putting it down again.
"I'm going to die, what nonsense are you talking about..."
Gu Qingshan smiled.
"It's scary, isn't it?"
Bibi Dong's voice was lower than before, as if there was a subtle provocation that was not obvious.
"Stay here tonight and see if you have the guts to be arrogant."
"Teacher, are you testing your disciples?"
Bibi Dong stood up, walked around the desk, and walked to him.
"What do you think?" Gu Qingshan also stood up.
Bibi Dong looked at him for a while, turned around and walked towards the door leading to the inner hall from the side hall, walking neither fast nor slow.
She didn't stop when she reached the door, and a voice floated from the front.
"What are you standing there for? Are you afraid that I will eat you?" Gu Qingshan followed.
