It was earth-shattering!
Celestial Master You had agreed to it!
Everyone was so shocked that their mouths were wide open. Even Gu Xixi, the Saint, had her eyes lit up!
Rong Chu paused for a moment and sneered, "Brother Crown Prince and Celestial Master You have been very close recently. They even had tea together in the auction house a few days ago …"
Rong Jialuo answered him with two words, "Well said."
Gu Xijiu realized that it was Celestial Master You who had tea with Rong Jialuo in the private room of the auction house.
He was indeed mysterious as he had not shown up since the beginning. Since he suddenly had tea with Rong Jialuo, did it mean that he had acknowledged Rong Jialuo as the next emperor?
Gu Xijiu thought so. Naturally, Gu Xietian and the other officials had the same thought as well. They started to feel uneasy …
...
Wan Xing Lou was an elegant teahouse. The layout of the building was a little strange. The first floor was used for ordinary customers while the second floor was used for the famous people. As for the third floor, it was actually an open-air platform.
There was a teahouse on the platform. It was said that Master You would occasionally come here to drink tea and watch the stars when he was free.
It could be said to be his exclusive property. Without his permission, no one was allowed to enter this place.
It was usually deserted, but it was a little crowded tonight as there were a lot of people.
It was unprecedented!
Rong Chu, Rong Yan, Gu Xixi and the rest of the Gu family came together.
Meanwhile, Rong Jialuo went back to change his robe and rushed here. Together with him was the Eighth Prince, Rong Che, and even the Emperor …
The Emperor also brought along two of the most famous imperial doctors in the Tianxing Kingdom and a Shumishi who was in charge of collecting information. The imperial doctors and the Shumishi were requested by Gu Xijiu to be present.
Rong Jialuo was very efficient in his work. In such a short period of time, he had arranged all the necessary people.
Of course, the Emperor came along unexpectedly. It was said that the Emperor was visiting the Shumishi in disguise. When he heard the news, he immediately followed.
The teahouse was overcrowded. The tea boy had to add more than ten chairs to settle everyone down.
The Emperor had many eyes and ears and was well-informed. He already knew about the bet between Gu Xijiu and Gu Xixi, the saint of the Tianwen Clan. At this moment, his gaze fell on Gu Xijiu with a sense of inquisitiveness.
Although she had been appointed as his daughter-in-law, the Emperor had never seen her before. He had only heard of her ugly and useless reputation. He also heard that she was timid and afraid of meeting strangers. She would stutter whenever she saw strangers. She was simply useless.
He felt a little regretful when he heard all this. He regretted that Luo Xinglan, who was such a hot and fierce beauty, had such a disappointing daughter. He even felt a little guilty towards the 12th Prince.
In his heart, Gu Xijiu was already a synonym for ugly, weak, and useless.
When he heard that she dared to make such a bet with the Tianwen Saint, he was shocked and felt that it was unbelievable.
Now that he finally saw Gu Xijiu in person, he stared at her for a moment and felt that the information he gave him was ridiculously wrong!
How was the girl in front of him weak?!
Gu Xijiu sat there quietly. There was no sign of nervousness on her face. She was so calm as if she was just here to drink a cup of tea.
