Gu Qing Shan glanced at Empress and thought of something.
It's a bit strange that Empress came to the banquet with two dark circles under her eyes.
But she's a Professionist, for something like this to happen, it can only be because she's been staying up all night and her body can't take it anymore.
She's been staying up all night?
Without knowing it, Gu Qing Shan became cautious.
Something's not right.
While he was thinking, Empress spoke up.
She intimately held the Emperor's hand, smiled charmingly at him, then looked at Gu Qing Shan.
"Last time at the Federation, His Majesty kept inviting you here, but I didn't think you'd come, so I just watched from the sidelines, I hope Scientist Gu doesn't mind" Empress said.
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan smiled and quickly replied: "I don't mind, I've always admired heroes like His Majesty, so even if you didn't say anything, I would've still come"
The Emperor's expression showed that he was seriously listening.
But neither of them said anything else.
Gu Qing Shan once again raised her glass: "To His Majesty's eternal life, to Empress's eternal beauty"
The Emperor smiled and said, "Who can truly live for ten thousand years? But I like what you said."
He took the glass from Empress's hand and downed it all at once.
The Empress also picked up a glass of wine and took a sip.
Returning the empty glass to Empress, the Fuxi Emperor asked: "Today is Scientist Gu's first time here, why don't you dance with him for the first time?"
Empress didn't even look at Gu Qing Shan and only smiled at the Emperor: "I don't want to dance today"
"Then what do you want to do?"
Empress then turned to the Emperor and everyone else: "I'm going to play some cards, you guys enjoy yourselves"
"Playing all night again? Look at yourself, your dark circles are about to pop out "the Emperor smiled and asked.
"I lost so much yesterday, I have to win it back today, darling, can you let me go?" Empress begged.
"Come and take a picture with our scientists, and then you can go." The emperor agreed readily.
The Emperor casually waved his hand, and a few officials in charge of the Royal Family's press release immediately appeared.
"Mr. Gu, please stand closer to His Majesty," an official said.
The Emperor held out his hand.
Gu Qing Shan could only hold his hand.
Empress stood beside the Emperor.
The three of them faced the press officer and waited for the photo to be taken.
"Three, two, one. Long live His Majesty!"
The perfect diplomatic news photo was born.
"Then I'll go play cards."
Empress left in a hurry after she finished speaking. She didn't look at Gu Qing Shan again.
The Emperor said to the press officer, "Publish it immediately."
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" the official replied.
The Emperor thought for a bit and said: "A charity banquet — — after all, our young scientist Gu had just donated a school to our remote mountainous region"
Gu Qing Shan thought to herself that the news was really fast.
"In a bit, I'll also set up a charity bursary fund" the Emperor looked at Gu Qing Shan and smiled.
"Yes, your Majesty is wise" saying so, the official bowed and left.
At this point, the tune for the first dance began to play.
The Emperor then told Gu Qing Shan: "You should go and have some fun as well, I hope you'll have a wonderful night"
"Yes, your Majesty" Gu Qing Shan smiled.
He walked down the stairs step by step, came in front of a beautiful girl, and politely invited her for the first dance.
The beautiful girl was a bit troubled and turned to look at the Emperor.
The Emperor nodded.
The beautiful girl had no choice but to accept Gu Qing Shan's invitation and followed him onto the dance floor.
"I'm only giving face to father, after this dance, I hope you'll know your place and stop bothering me" the beautiful girl smiled and quickly said.
No one else could hear what she said, but from her expression, they would think that she was having a normal conversation.
"Very well" Gu Qing Shan happily nodded.
The music began to move.
The first dance officially began.
Gu Qing Shan held the princess' hand and began to dance.
At this point, he confirmed something.
Varona Empress is a very smart person.
She only said a few words to expose the truth to Gu Qing Shan, then left without hesitation.
"Last time at the Federation, the Emperor kept inviting you here, but I didn't think you'd come, so I just watched from the sidelines, I hope little scientist Gu doesn't mind"
That was what she said, but in reality, she didn't just watch from the sidelines.
Gu Qing Shan still remembered that she tried her best to convince them to come for a holiday.
He remembered the exact words she said.
"Two weeks from now, it will be the hottest time of the year, when you arrive, we'll go spend the summer at the palace in the North. The weather there is quite nice, you can hunt during the day and have a ball at night, if the weather is good, you can even use a telescope to observe space monsters"
Which means everything she said just now was wrong.
But the Emperor didn't react to that at all, he even smiled.
What exactly is going on here?
Others might think that women are fickle and always do whatever they want, but Gu Qing Shan already knew a bit about Empress through Anna.
In a formal situation, she's a royal woman who pays a lot of attention to her manners.
Did something happen between the Emperor and Empress?
If it was only a conflict between the Emperor and Empress, or some other political struggle, Gu Qing Shan wouldn't care at all.
But there's definitely something wrong with the Emperor.
Gu Qing Shan was thinking, a bit hesitant.
He carefully followed the princess's rhythm and began to dance.
Originally, I only came here to make a deal.
Whether it's a scientific research patent or a cultivation scripture, I'm sure the Fuxi Emperor would consider it.
But now, other than a deal, there seems to be something else going on.
He suddenly remembered something.
In the past life, the Frost Calamity seemed to have started from the Fuxi Empire?
The song ended at this point.
The princess brushed his hand off without saying a word, left the dance floor and walked towards a tall and handsome Fuxi military officer.
Gu Qing Shan turned around, found a secluded corner and slowly drank a glass of liquor.
At this point, the Emperor entered the dance floor, hugging a beautiful noblewoman and began to dance. The atmosphere of the banquet reached its climax.
Gu Qing Shan called a waiter, politely asked where the washroom was and left.
He went into the washroom, closed the door and took out a ball of paper.
When he kissed his hand, Empress quickly gave him the ball of paper.
Gu Qing Shan opened it.
"The Death's Relic is in Anna's hands"
It was a simple sentence.
Gu Qing Shan looked at it for a bit before putting it away.
This sentence was also very well said.
First of all, even if the note was found, it's an internal matter of the Medici clan, no one has any reason to interfere.
Secondly, Anna only took the Death's Relic from Gu Qing Shan when the trial was about to begin.
Such a secret, only Jang Young-ho and the others know about it.
And now Empress also knows that it was Anna who told her everything.
Empress wanted to emphasize her close relationship with Anna.
— — -they were the last two ladies of the Medici clan.
So this ball of paper was used to gain Gu Qing Shan's trust.
After that, Varona Empress told Gu Qing Shan in front of the Emperor to point out the problem.
Combined together, it's a completely new sentence: "You have to believe me, there's something wrong with the Emperor"
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.
He muttered: "If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it"
The Fuxi Emperor is a powerful Professionist, almost no one would be able to sneak past his many layers of security to do anything to such a world-class Combatant.
Perhaps the Emperor had hidden it from everyone and was making some kind of plan.
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
Everything is wrong now.
Varona Empress is Anna's aunt, if something happens, I have to save her.
If that's the case …
Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight.
As an Ascended realm cultivator, his inner sight can cover a large area.
The people of this world don't even know what inner sight is.
And no one knows how to counter it.
Gu Qing Shan's inner sight easily scanned through the entire palace, then continued to expand outwards.
