The Empress Dowager made a move? Why? Could it be that she had a new puppet?
GongYimo's mind raced. Impossible. The others had all been eliminated by the Empress Dowager. Si Wuyan was the only imperial bloodline left … She looked at Guan Zaijin. He must know!
Guan Zaijin seemed to feel that the situation was settled. He did not keep her in suspense and said directly, "Although the little emperor restrained himself, he had to pamper some women. Even if his medical skills were good and he took many measures, his medical skills were taught by the Empress Dowager. She could naturally see through his contraceptive methods. Moreover, the child was already born. It's a boy."
As if the blow was not enough, Guan Zaijin added, "The child's bloodline resonates with the Si family's Long Chengyu. It's undoubtedly the Si family's blood."
GongYimo wanted to curse. What was Si Wuyan doing? He didn't even know that he had a child for no reason!
Guan Zaijin laughed, "You can't blame him. That woman was pregnant at that time and the Empress Dowager let her fake her death. The little emperor never cared about the lives of the women in the harem. Why would he investigate the cause of her death?"
GongYimo's face darkened, "That means the Empress Dowager wants to raise a third puppet?"
Guan Zaijin poured her a cup of tea.
"It's still early. Princess, why don't you sit down and wait. When everything is settled, you can still return to your country to be a princess."
GongYimo stared at the tea in front of her and really sat down. She frowned, "Perhaps you don't understand. I'm not someone who easily admits defeat."
"But these things don't have much to do with you, do they?" Guan Zaijin thought for a moment, "Whoever becomes the Emperor of Yuqi will not be a threat to you. Of course, the Empress Dowager has many shortcomings in governing the country. But is Si Wuyan very good? He's impetuous, violent, and has a past like that. How many people would be convinced if he became the Emperor? "
"So, he's useless?"
Guan Zaijin stroked his beard and sneered, "He really doesn't have any good points. His twisted personality is really unlikable."
GongYimo suddenly laughed, "Why don't we make a bet?"
Guan Zaijin was somewhat guarded and did not rashly respond.
"Do you think Si Wuyan will die today?"
Guan Zaijin thought for a moment. "The Empress Dowager's poison skills are unparalleled. No one in the palace dares to betray her. Now that she has another trump card in her hands, she no longer has to worry about anything. Si Wuyan must die today."
"Alright, let's make a bet. Let's see if he'll die today!"
Kuangju Jin stopped talking again.
GongYimo said, "If Si Wuyan doesn't die today, I hope that you can lend us a hand when there's an internal strife in Royal City in the future. In return, we won't kill her in the future. We'll even give her to you so that you can be an immortal couple."
Guan Zaijin smiled wryly.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse. Si Wuyan has already developed a drug that can make people forget their past. She may not necessarily not belong to you. All of this … is up to you!"
She was making things up, but this sentence actually made Guan Zaijin waver!
He raised his head and looked at the smoke rising from the palace, then looked at GongYimo.
"Don't waste your energy. He'll definitely die."
GongYimo shrugged. "Do you want to bet or not? The result of the bet is God's will, isn't it?! "
Guan Zaijin suddenly asked, "Why are you helping Si Wuyan like this? From what I know, he doesn't treat you well. If you're controlled by his poison, you can find the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager will definitely save you."
GongYimo shook her head. "I'm not poisoned."
Seeing Guan Zaijin's surprise, she smiled. "Si Wuyan is indeed annoying. He's gloomy, violent, impetuous, and has limited talent …"
"Then you?" Guan Zaijin didn't understand.
"But you can't just look at one side of a person. You have to look at the other side of him."
GongYimo held the teacup in her hand but didn't drink. "When I was 14, he ran over to kill me. Because at that time, he thought that I was capable. Once I became someone like the Empress Dowager, Yuqi would be in danger."
GongYimo couldn't help but laugh. "But in the end, he didn't do it. He only said harsh words. Later, when he came to Yuqi, I saw that he was very irritable, but he would still read the memorials seriously. The Empress Dowager would only let a male companion do all this.
He was suppressed in the imperial city, but he was still willing to help when he saw injustice. The Empress Dowager forced him to kill a defenseless woman just to show me who was the boss.
He was in such a difficult situation, but he still didn't forget about the business of Yuqi. The Empress Dowager was still thinking about how to have a child, kill him, and continue to raise a puppet to be the Empress Dowager …
Maybe there are many bad things about him, but this is also caused by the environment he grew up in. He never complained. Instead, he worked hard to change. In comparison, he was much better than the Empress Dowager. "
GongYimo remembered the last time she said that he had a wrong word. Whenever he had time, he would frown and secretly read the Thousand Character Classic. Now that she thought about it, it was actually a little cute.
"… I didn't participate in his past … but he was raised as a male companion and later as a puppet. It's not hard to guess what he went through …
He's the worst emperor I've ever seen! But he didn't have parents and stumbled until now. He still has his nature. I'm willing to help him. "
Guan Zaijin was silent for a long time.
He had watched Si Wuyan grow up. The child was forced to develop a beast-like character only because the Empress Dowager felt that it was boring for everyone else to follow her, so she did it on a whim.
Now that he thought about it, it was cruel.
"She wasn't like this before. She and I … were childhood sweethearts."
"Stop!" GongYimo finished her tea. "I'm not interested in your past. I only want to ask you, do you want to bet with me? If you win, she will be the Empress Dowager. If you lose, I'll make her your childhood sweetheart again! "
Guan Zaijin felt that it was a foregone conclusion. There was no way to turn the tables. In the end, greed took the upper hand. He had guarded her for more than ten years. Why couldn't he have her? So, he actually nodded!
Very good!
GongYimo didn't say anything else. She jumped over the wall and rushed into the palace. Then, she met Shang Mingxi, who was equally anxious.
Her eyes lit up as she leaped onto his horse and whipped its butt.
Shang Mingxi was shocked by her actions. Before he could say anything, GongYimo asked.
"Last time, you said that the Empress Dowager liked you and made an exception to give you military power?"
Shang Mingxi nodded. At this moment, his face was solemn. He still didn't know what was happening in the palace.
GongYimo smiled strangely. "If you go and kill Lan Ci, what do you think the result will be?"
Shang Mingxi was stunned. Even if she wanted to divert attention, she didn't have to do this, right?
"Go and beg the Empress Dowager for mercy. Beg her to accept you again, then take the opportunity to kill Lan Ci. You might not die if you do this, but if you don't attract more attention, Si Wuyan will definitely die! Do it or not? Just say it! "
Shang Mingxi sighed.
"Do it!"
Most people wouldn't be able to accept begging to be a boy toy, but Shang Mingxi could. It wasn't that difficult to get on someone's good side by kneeling and saying a few words.
