Following the eunuch's shout, the door was pushed open. Mu Rong Hong Yu looked at Gu Ling Xue who was beneath him, and the corners of her mouth hooked into a strange smile.

Gu Ling Xue saw that Mu Rong Hong Yu did not have any intention to stand up, and immediately moved his body to find a more comfortable position to lie down.

If you like to play, I'll play with you.

All of this entered the eyes of the smiling queen.

The smile that was like the spring wind froze on his face.

"Emperor Emperor." The eunuch widened his eyes in disbelief as he saw the man and woman lying on the bed in such intimate positions. He then gave a cautious glance towards the empress.

Mu Rong Hong Yu heard the sound of footsteps slowly approaching, then a sharp voice broke the strange atmosphere in the room. Only then did Mu Rong Hong Yu stand up and ask the Queen with a smile, "What's the matter, Empress?"

The empress heard what Mu Rong Hong Yu had said, and her body involuntarily trembled. Her legs staggered for a bit, and then she said, "It's nothing much, it's just that if Emperor likes this little sister, she can just be accepted as a concubine tomorrow. Don't be so anxious and break the ancestor's rules."

Looking at Mu Rong Hong Yu's faintly discernable chest, the Empress suddenly felt pain.

She should indeed be able to find a few fresh things for the Emperor to be happy about, but this woman actually dared to climb onto his bed without his permission. If he didn't teach her a lesson, what would happen in the future?

Gu Ling Xue stood up, patting the wrinkles on her body, smoothing them out, after that she smiled gently and did not bow. The empress looked on, anger rising in her heart. "You don't know the rules, why aren't you kneeling?"

The Queen scolded Gu Ling Xue harshly, but the latter only laughed.

Gu Ling Xue glanced at Mu Rong Hong Yu, who was watching by the side, but from the empress's point of view, she felt like she was asking Emperor for help.

A mocking tone surfaced on the empress's face as she asked, "I wonder which family's daughter sister is this?"

Gu Ling Xue shot a glance at the empress, but didn't reply, and instead said to Mu Rong Hong Yu: "Remember what I asked you to do."

Mu Rong Hong Yu smiled and nodded, there was a trace of unknown laughter in his eyes, but in the Queen's eyes, there was an ambiguous feeling.

She clenched her hands under her sleeves, but her face was still filled with a warm and gentle smile. After understanding the two's current state, the empress stood still and did not say another word.

Receiving Mu Rong Hong Yu's response, Gu Ling Xue did not linger and immediately left. As for the conflict between the emperor and empress, it had nothing to do with her.

"Is there anything else, Empress?" After watching Gu Ling Xue leave, the smile on her face also disappeared, and following that was a cold face like usual.

The empress was lost in thought as she looked at her face.

It was the unique face of the world that had captivated her, willing to give up everything for it, to the point where she had lost the protection of her family. But now, the old and lustful look of her had disappeared from the Emperor's heart. Most likely, the only thing she could see now was her young and pretty face.

The Queen regained her senses, looked into Mu Rong Hong Yu's eyes, and said gently: "Chenqie is only here to service Emperor in changing clothes."

As she spoke, the Empress's hand slowly approached Mu Rong Hong Yu's belt and just as she was about to take it off, Mu Rong Hong Yu covered her with her large hand.

"You can go back first, I still have some official matters to attend to."

His extended hand paused for a moment before he hurriedly retracted it. He bent his body and said, "Yes, chenqie shall take her leave."

The Queen carefully withdrew from the room. She gently shut the door, appearing as though she had just arrived. However, her expression immediately became dark and solemn.

She quickly walked back to her bedroom and realized that everything had become so ugly since she left the door.

"Go call for the palace." The empress suppressed her inexplicable anger and ordered fiercely.

"Yes, Empress." The voice of the eunuch with a sharp end could be heard in time, echoing within the empty palace, adding to the feeling of desolation.

The empress immediately felt tired. She sat down on the phoenix chair, supporting her head with her right hand. She closed her eyes and fell silent for a long time.

The sound of hurried footsteps could be heard. The empress raised her hand without opening her eyes, signaling the palace maids to leave.

The entire palace was silent for a long time before the empress spoke.

"Investigate the background of the woman who just entered the Emperor's chambers and bring her to me." The empress's voice was suddenly much older than when he met the Emperor. Her voice was very different from before, "If she doesn't want to, then he must see his corpse no matter what."

"Yes." Xungfu stood in the middle of the hall, listening to the empress's words with doubt in his heart.

Why is the empress so angry? He was even more impatient than before.

"Go down."

Hearing the empress's order, Xungfu did not continue guessing. He bowed slightly, took two steps back, then left the chamber and closed the door.

Under the light of dusk, the lonely figure of the empress was stretched long and long.

For more than ten years, the Emperor had never favoured any of his concubines, and even more so, did not wish for anyone to get close to him. But today, the Queen did not want to think about it anymore. She only wanted to stifle the possibility in the cradle.

If she can't get it, no one else can.

The moment Gu Ling Xue stepped into the Gu Family, the entire place exploded with noise.

"Miss, you're finally back."

"Miss, you …"

When they finally saw Gu Ling Xue's figure, the servant girls surrounded him and asked all sorts of questions. Just as Gu Ling Xue was getting impatient, another voice came from behind the crowd.

"Oh, Gu Ling Xue, what do you think of this?" An ear-piercing scream succeeded in splitting the crowd, giving Gu Ling Xue the chance to escape from the crowd.

Gu Ling Hua stood right in front of Gu Ling Xue. Her bright red dress paired with her snow-white skin didn't look too strange.

Gu Ling Xue shot a glance at Gu Ling Hua who was chattering nonstop, and ignored her as she directly walked past him.

Gu Ling Hua saw that Gu Ling Xue was looking down on her and was annoyed in her heart. Just as she wanted to say something more, she was interrupted by a servant in front of him.

A boy dressed as a servant stood in front of Gu Ling Xue, blocking his way without any expression or attitude.

As he gloated and looked at Gu Ling Xue, who was originally haughty and haughty but was now stopped by a servant, the angry expression on Gu Ling Hua's face instantly disappeared as she was overjoyed in her heart.

Let's see how you are going to act so arrogantly now.

Gu Ling Xue glanced at the completely unfamiliar servant, and then glanced at the gloating Gu Ling Hua. What was she thinking in her heart, after which she nodded and followed him out.

Gu Ling Hua immediately stopped laughing foolishly, and followed Gu Ling Xue to the hall of Gu Family.

Behind him, Gu Ling Shu who had received the news and rushed over quickly followed.

"You still want to come back?" The Head of the Gu Family sat in the hall, seeing that Gu Ling Xue did not have the slightest intention to repent, she became annoyed in her heart, "As a daughter of a noble family, the direct descendant of my Gu Family, he actually dares to be so shameless!"

When Gu Ling Xue walked into the hall, she heard the annoying shouts of the Head of the Gu Family, and her heart was filled with impatience.

"I do not feel that there is anything that is shameless about this place. If you don't like it, I can leave." The faint words were filled with a slow and disdainful tone.

Gu Ling Xue sat in front of the table by the side of the hall and looked at Head of the Gu Family.

"Ling Xue, you can't do this." Gu Ling Hua slowly walked forward, with a look of heartache: "Father, Ling Xue definitely has her reasons."

"How could she possibly have any difficulties with her unrepentant expression?"

It was good that Gu Ling Hua did not say anything, but as soon as she said those words, Head of the Gu Family could not help but regret over having such an unfilial daughter like Gu Ling Xue! If it was just Gu Ling Hua and her daughter, he would be relieved.

"Indeed, I don't have any difficulties." The corner of his mouth raised upwards confidently. Gu Ling Xue looked at Gu Ling Hua with contempt, ridiculing him with a gaze that made the latter feel extremely ashamed.

"You!" Gu Ling Hua wanted to retort, but did not know what to say.

After all, she was still a good girl in front of her father.

"Gu Ling Xue, you don't even know how to be courteous anymore!" Head of the Gu Family saw his two daughters bickering and could not help but have a headache. He replied without thinking, "From today onwards, you will not be the daughter of my Gu Family!"

Before she finished speaking, before Gu Ling Xue could reply, she heard someone running to the entrance of the hall.

"Ling Xue." Gu Ling Shu was so surprised that his eyes were wide open. He finally saw Gu Ling Xue's unharmed appearance, and just as he was about to go up and hug her, he remembered the patriarch's angry rebuke. Only then did he resist the impulse to walk forward.

Gu Ling Shu said in a low voice, "Father, Ling Xue is still young, and is still very mischievous. You have received quite a bit of shock during your trip out. As the Head of the Gu Family, how can you abandon your daughter and not care about it? "

When Head of the Gu Family saw Gu Ling Shu coming over, his head hurt even more.

With Gu Ling Shu here, even if he wanted to punish her, it would be difficult for his to make a mistake.

But who told him that Gu Ling Shu was the only hope of Gu Family?

"Even if Ling Xue is still young, she is after all, the direct descendant, so she should shoulder the heavy responsibility of supporting her." Head of the Gu Family's tone became much more gentle, "To be so willful in leaving home, this Gu Family's reputation has been tarnished by her."

Gu Ling Xue was worrying about the annoying part, but seeing that Gu Ling Shu had appeared in the nick of time to help her solve this problem, she was happy to sit at the side and watch the commotion, so, no matter how unpleasant Head of the Gu Family and Gu Ling Hua's words were, Gu Ling Xue pretended not to hear it.

Gu Ling Shu heard the compromise in Head of the Gu Family's tone, and did not press further, but only replied: "From now on, I will take good care of her."

"It is only natural to take care of her, but she has made such a huge mistake this time. She must be punished. We can't just let it pass so easily." Head of the Gu Family's slightly ancient voice sounded, his tone adding a little helplessness.
