Chapter 180 He won't find out
Everyone present was taken aback.
Yun Fuzhao was the first to react. She shyly punched Gong Yuhe's chest with her small fist, "You're so annoying~ I'm shy."
"..."
Gong Yuhe subtly touched the spot where he had been hit.
The emperor looked regretful. "My dear minister, what brings you here?"
Mu Chou spoke up: "These two cultivators wish to see Consort Ning."
"See her?" The emperor looked displeased. "That woman has gone mad; she actually tried to assassinate my sweetheart."
Yun Fuzhao: "..."
Old Deng is quite romantic; he's even calling her "sweetheart."
“Your Majesty, these two cultivators have come from afar,” Mu Chou deliberately emphasized the word “cultivators,” “We can’t let them come in high spirits and leave disappointed, can we?”
Upon hearing this, the emperor casually waved his hand, "Let them see them."
Just as the two were about to go together, Mu Chou stopped them, saying, "Young master, please wait. Men in the harem should avoid suspicion."
Gong Yuhe nodded, tilting his head slightly as he said to Yun Fuzhao, "Go quickly and come back quickly."
“Okay,” Yun Fuzhao straightened his clothes, the two of them looking very affectionate. “Wait for me here.”
Mu Chou watched their interaction quietly.
"Girl, please come this way."
Yun Fuzhao followed the eunuch through a maze of turns until they arrived at a place where a cold wind was blowing.
She rubbed her arms; this was a chilling wind.
"This is it."
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Yun Fuzhao looked around and saw that grass was growing in the corners of the walls. It was indeed the legendary Cold Palace.
To be honest, it does look a bit like a cold cave.
Yun Fuzhao pushed open the door and walked in, and a musty smell hit her, making her cough.
It took spiritual power to isolate her before she recovered.
"Miss Ke?"
Yun Fuzhao tentatively took a few steps. It was really cold inside, with gusts of cold wind that made him feel scared.
"who are you?"
A voice came from behind her.
Yun Fuzhao was so startled that she almost went to see her great-grandmother.
She turned her head and saw a woman in white staring at her expressionlessly.
"Are you Ke Ruotong?"
Ke Ruotong was stunned, as if she hadn't heard anyone call her by that name in a long time.
“Your father asked me to come and see you. If possible, he hopes you will come home and stop staying in the palace, this place that eats people alive.”
"I'm not going back!"
Ke Ruotong was emotional. "I have no face to go back and see him. Ten years! I wasted ten whole years of my youth on that man! If I leave now, all those years will have been wasted. I'm not willing to accept that!"
"Sunk costs are not involved in major decisions."
"You don't understand at all!"
"..."
You simply don't understand how to love me...
Stop singing, you shut-up.
Yun Fuzhao coughed. "So what do you want? If you're willing to come back with me to see your father, I can grant you one request."
Ke Ruotong asked doubtfully, "Really?"
Yun Fuzhao demonstrated a set of sword techniques in front of her, saying, "I am a cultivator, there is nothing I cannot do."
Come to think of it, if Ke Ruotong had spiritual roots, she might not have been so devoted to love.
Ke Ruotong: "Then I want to be the Empress."
Yun Fuzhao: "..."
Be bold, you can be emperor if you want.
"Aren't you going to reconsider?"
“No need to think about it,” Ke Ruotong said firmly, “I want to be the Empress. This is my only wish in this life.”
That's a narrow perspective.
"Okay, I can help you."
Yun Fuzhao didn't really care about her choices and fate; everyone has their own destiny. If Ke Jiu hadn't agreed to go to the Boundless Sword Sect on the condition that his daughter would come back to see him, she wouldn't have gotten involved.
"Get me out of here first," Ke Ruotong said angrily, "It's too cold here."
"it is good."
You're the big spender, so you call the shots.
Yun Fuzhao planned to go to the Regent and talk to him about this.
As it turned out, she overestimated her sense of direction; the palace was like a maze. She wandered around for ages without finding her way out.
Just as he was about to take flight on his sword to investigate, a deep voice came from behind him, "Is my lord lost?"
Yun Fuzhao turned around and saw a man in a black, wide-sleeved python robe looking at her with a smile in his eyes.
She hadn't noticed when this person arrived.
“Yes,” Yun Fuzhao said, putting away Wuji. “I circled around several times.”
Mu Chou chuckled, "Please follow me."
Yun Fuzhao followed behind him.
The man deliberately slowed his pace, waiting for her to reach his side. "Is Your Excellency here merely to see Consort Ning?"
Since he had asked, Yun Fuzhao did not intend to hide anything. "What does the Regent want? The elixir of immortality, the pill of eternal youth... I can give you all of these."
"No reward without merit," Mu Chou stopped in his tracks. "What are your conditions, sir?"
It's so much easier to talk to smart people.
"I have only one condition: that Ke Ruotong become the empress."
After saying that, Mu Chou chuckled, leaned down, and stared at her with his dark eyes. "The matter of the Empress should be asked of His Majesty."
"Everyone knows that the Kingdom of Li is under your control. The emperor's opinion is irrelevant."
The smile on his lips deepened, and Mu Chou's gaze was unwavering. "I don't need pills," he said in a low voice, slowly enunciating each word. "But if I wanted you, would you be willing, my lord?"
Yun Fuzhao choked up, then brought up Gong Yuhe, "I'm already married..."
"So what? I can be a concubine."
Yun Fuzhao's eyes widened. "You're quite the smooth operator, aren't you?"
[Yun Family Team 3, Hong Ziqing: Hahaha, this young man has potential.]
[I laughed so hard I almost died.]
[Hahaha, streamer, just say yes! I love watching this kind of drama.]
Those powerful figures really love to stir up trouble.
Yun Fuzhao didn't have that kind of fetish. "No way. I'll be finished if they find out."
"It's alright, we'll be quiet, he won't find out, sister-in-law."
That's enough, it's getting more and more outrageous.
"Stop joking," Yun Fuzhao glanced around furtively to make sure no one was listening before feeling relieved. "Tell me, what do you really want?"
Mu Chou slowly suppressed his smile. When he wasn't smiling, his eyes were dark and gloomy, like a sky full of dark clouds.
"I'll help you, but I haven't decided what I need yet. How about I pay you back first?"
"can."
Yun Fuzhao understood that a cultivator's promise was more valuable to an ordinary person than the position of empress.
Moreover, it makes no difference whether or not one holds the position of empress.
After all, Mu Chou is now in power in the Li Kingdom.
When Yun Fuzhao returned to the main hall, Gong Yuhe immediately looked up, his gaze fixed on her without any doubt.
Upon noticing Mu Chou beside her, Gong Yuhe frowned almost imperceptibly, maneuvering his wheelchair to her side. "How are you?"
"It's done."
Gong Yuhe nodded, then asked, "How did he come with you?"
Just as Yun Fuzhao was about to speak, Mu Chou spoke first, his voice tinged with laughter, saying, "We just happened to run into each other, sir, you don't need to take it to heart."
