Chapter 460

The emperor slowly turned the jade ring on his thumb and turned his head to look at Gu Zezhi beside him, his eyes deep.

The corners of Gu Zezhi’s lips hooked in a smile and said, “Your Majesty, there have been a few more barrels of kerosene in the Jiuqi Garden recently.”

Emperor: “...”

The emperor’s face remained unperturbed and his eyes grew a little darker, carried with a touch of superiority as if he was overlooking all living beings in his high and mighty seat.

Gu Zezhi continued unhurriedly. “They should be making a move.”

“Zezhi, should we delay it for a few more days?” The emperor turned the jade ring twice, as he said, in a deep voice.

Gu Zezhi smiled faintly and rightfully repeated, “Your Majesty, I’m about to get married!”

He meant that it would be better if this matter would be resolved early, so as to not delay his marriage.

County Princess Duan Rou felt that her third brother had a convoluted mind and thought too much into it. He insisted on making things very complex when they were very simple.

Since Wang Yu had instructed Gu Xi to take charge of the trip before leaving, County Princess Duan Rou patiently asked. “Third Brother, then do we still have to go?”

Gu Xi closed the document and nodded, “Go, of course.”

Regardless of what the emperor’s intentions were, he would never dare to force the brother and sister to stay. At most, he would find a few reasons to embarrass them.

They have already accomplished the purpose of their trips to the capital. As long as they returned to Yuzhou, the sky was high, and the emperor was far away, who could do anything to them!

“Snap!”

Gu Xi raised his hand and gave three consecutive claps, shouting, “Someone come!”

A tall and muscular body guard entered the study and greeted Gu Xi with a cup fist.

“Proceed as planned.” Gu Xi ordered succinctly.
