Gu Shiyi had a face full of helplessness. No matter which one of these two it was, it was the crime of beheading.

"Prince Su has arrived!" Just as Gu Shiyi was about to answer, a sharp shout came out.

Immediately after, four mighty guards carried a shoulder carriage, on it sat a man dressed in black, with a silver mask on his face, he walked over, and the shoulder carriage also stopped beside Gu Shiyi.

Prince Su did not come down. He only raised her head and looked at the Queen at the head, not saying a word.

"Brother Fourteenth, why are you here?" The empress's expression was clearly unnatural, her voice trembling.

"My royal sister-in-law must be joking, this Phoenix Festival is a gathering to choose a wife for the royal family's children. Have you forgotten that my royal sister-in-law has never married!" Prince Su's voice was hoarse and filled with endless coldness, making people feel that it was terrifying. Gu Shiyi immediately thought of the Hell's Asura.

"Brother Fourteenth, they are the daughters of the important members of this court!" The empress felt a headache coming on.

The Prince Su had yet to marry, who could be blamed for that. The Emperor, in order to choose about five wives, had all died on the night of their wedding, his death was extremely terrifying. It was said that he was tortured to death by the Prince Su.

However, the Emperor could not blame them for any of this. He could only promise them in front of all the ministers that he would never refer their daughter to the Prince Su as his wife again. Only then, did he stop the crowd.

Now, the Prince Su actually wanted her to choose his wife!

If she agreed, then wouldn't it mean that the Emperor's heart, which he had painstakingly won in the imperial court, would be lost again?

She definitely could not agree to this!

"Royal sister-in-law, do you want this king to speak to your royal brother?" Prince Su's face was playful, no one knew when a black order badge had appeared in his hand, and he was casually playing with it.

Empress Murong Yan's heart tensed up once again. After a round of battle with the heavens, she finally chose to compromise.

"Then Brother Fourteenth has taken a fancy to which daughter?"

The empress's words caused all the young ladies present to turn pale with fright.

"This King sees that they are all so ugly that they are on the verge of death. I think it's best for royal sister-in-law to help me choose them!" Prince Su revealed a look of disgust and threw the question to Murong Yan after taking a look at all the girls.

When the young ladies at the table heard Prince Su say that they were ugly, not only did they not get angry, they were even rejoicing in themselves. Fortunately, Prince Su did not like them!

Some people even began to wipe away the cold sweat on their foreheads. Even though it was winter, they were only wearing spring clothes!

Gu Shiyi was still kneeling with her head lowered, she did not know what to say. Murong Yan accidentally glanced at her, then looked at Prince Su who was sitting on the shoulders of others, and came up with a plan.

"Brother Fourteen wants the number one beauty in the world!"

"The number one beauty? Your royal sister-in-law is serious, the crown prince won't fight with his concubine and sister-in-law over this? " Prince Su raised his eyebrows. First, he was happy, then his face was filled with doubt.

"If Uncle Fourteenth likes it, your nephew will definitely give it up!" Situ Xun had a face full of smiles. He really wished for Prince Su to marry Gu Shiyi.

"Since that's the case, your royal sister-in-law shall issue the decree!" Prince Su's voice was cold, he did not even ask who the number one beauty was, as he leaned lazily on his shoulder. Although he was wearing a mask, it could not cover the arrogance and charm exuding from his body.

Since the Prince Su had said so, the Empress could not wait any longer and hurriedly ordered people to prepare the Four Treasures for the study. Since she did not ask who this person was, then this matter would be easier to handle.

Compared to killing Gu Shiyi just like that, Murong Yan would rather let her marry Prince Su!

Gu Shiyi lowered her head, her face full of ridicule!

Was he going to marry her to the crippled Ghost-faced Prince Su Situ Jing, the living King of Hell?

This was good too, but now, she didn't have to die!

"Gu Shiyi, step down!" Murong Yan prepared her decree, and when she saw that Gu Shiyi was still kneeling there, she felt annoyed. She had already given her the best result, so he didn't want her to appear in front of him again.

"Thank you, Empress empress!" Gu Shiyi stood up, turned around, and without even glancing at Prince Su Situ Jing who was by her side, he walked towards her seat with an indifferent expression.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on her body. Some were sympathetic, some were glad …

Gu Shiyi didn't know what Situ Jing had said to the Queen, nor did she know when he had sat beside Situ Xun. Coincidentally, his table was placed right beside hers, and the distance between the two of them was only a meter.

The empress must have done it on purpose!

"This subject's daughter, Gu Moyun, offers a song for the Queen's Empress and Her Highness!" A familiar voice brought back Gu Shiyi's thoughts. On the high platform, Gu Moyun had already taken off her cape and wore a Thousand Water Dress with gold stripes, outlining her beautiful figure. A pair of clever fingers played on the zither, intoxicated.

Gu Shiyi nodded. In terms of zither arts, Gu Moyun could be said to be a person with a well-deserved reputation.

Her left hand probed into her right sleeve and Gu Shiyi took out a thumb-sized shell. She opened the shell and a faint, cold fragrance instantly spread out. The smell was extremely faint, to the point that even the girl sitting at the same table as Gu Shiyi did not notice.

"Ah, so itchy, so itchy. My face, my face …" On the stage, Gu Moyun kept scratching her face. The force was so strong that her face was covered in blood and soon enough, her face had been scratched by her sharp nails.

"Someone, drag her out!"

"No, Empress Queen doesn't want it. Mo Yun hasn't finished playing it yet, Empress Queen …" Gu Moyun was really dragged out. Her shouts and struggles along the way had made the empress hate her to the extreme.

All the gloating expressions were all withdrawn after Gu Moyun's voice completely disappeared in the imperial garden.

No one doubted why Gu Moyun was acting this way. Only they were glad that they had lost another competitor.

Feeling a gaze looking at her, Gu Shiyi raised her head and met that gaze in the air. Situ Jing did not dodge at all, with a face full of amusement, as if saying, "I know it was you who did it!"

Gu Shiyi unnaturally retracted her gaze. The feeling of being seen through was really bad, especially when it was seen through by such a person.

The performance continued. After Gu Moyun, Gu Shiyi no longer had any thoughts of watching them perform, she had achieved her goal. No matter what others did, it had nothing to do with her.

She, Gu Shiyi, had always been someone who would take revenge. Since Gu Moyun had the guts to injure Xiao Zhi, then she must be prepared to pay the price!

Originally, this did not have any harm to her face at all. Only when she mixed the two items together, and once she encountered the scent of the seventh rank red flower, it would produce a strong poison that instantly caused her face to itch and redden. Even if she did not scratch it, her face would slowly fester.

Didn't Gu Moyun value her appearance the most?

Then she would destroy her!
