Chapter 858 - Green Hat

The empress helped Gu Bailu out of Broken Soul Garden.

Feng Qingtian waited for Gu Bailu to leave before he pulled a long face. “Xiao Jingyun, you better give up. I’ll kill you if you touch even a strand of her hair.”

Xiao Jingyun chuckled. “Beautiful women are always sought after by others. I do admire her. You can’t possibly stop others from having thoughts.”

Feng Qingtian raised his hand and slashed at Xiao Jingyun. “Who gave you the guts?”

Xiao Jingyun stretched out his hand and released a golden light to block it. He smiled and said, “I have my eye on your woman. It was love at first sight. You have to guard her well. Don’t give her a chance to run into my arms.”

Feng Qingtian pressed down harder. “You’re asking for it.”

Xiao Jingyun said unhurriedly, “Prince Zi, are you planning to let Princess Zi die with me? I’m looking forward to it.”

Feng Qingtian narrowed his eyes coldly.

Gu Bailu was protected, but this was the imperial palace of Rising Clouds. If he killed Xiao Jingyun, Gu Bailu would be in danger as well.

Feng Qingtian withdrew his power. “I’ll kill you if you dare touch her.”

Xiao Jingyun burst out laughing. “Prince Zi is so easily angered. I was just joking with you. I’m quite jealous of your close relationship with Princess Zi.”

Feng Qingtian didn’t believe his nonsense.

A man’s intuition told him that Xiao Jingyun had an ulterior motive.

His Lulu was so good. It was very possible that the emperor had fallen in love at first sight.

But since he had been given a way out, he couldn’t continue being at odds with him.

“I also think that the Rising Clouds emperor is a smart man. It’s impossible for him to have such shameless thoughts,” Feng Qingtian said coldly with a sneer.

“It seems that I went too far with my joke. Did I scare Princess Zi two days ago?” Xiao Jingyun asked playfully.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Scared? No.”

“That’s good. However, I still need to drink several cups in apology. By the way, when will the next batch of gold which we ordered in advance be delivered?”

“After the end of the year; there’s no way to mine in the heavy snow.”

Gu Bailu followed the empress to the harem. She wasn’t afraid of the empress helping Xiao Jingyun. She was confident in her own abilities.

Although she didn’t have as much spiritual power as in her previous life, she still had her skills.

Even at 80% less strength, it was more than enough to deal with these mortals.

“Lady Lian’er is the beauty that Shao Zun brought, right? She’s so beautiful. His Majesty has praised her appearance several times,” the empress said with a smile, as if they were very close.

“That’s right. She’s a beauty from my residence whom I picked up. I have the golden touch: Anyone I pick up is a great beauty.”

“Princess Zi looks to have very good luck,” the empress said with a fake smile.

Gu Bailu replied, “So does the empress.”

“Shao Zun is staying at Qinghua Palace. I’ll take you there.”

“There’s no need. You can just get a maid to lead the way. It’s not like it’s on the way.”

“It’s on the way. Qinghua Palace is in the harem, not far from my Longevity Palace.”

Gu Bailu widened her eyes. “Shao Zun is staying in the harem?”

This... Was Xiao Jingyun raising him as a beauty in the imperial harem, or was he letting him pick whichever woman he wanted to sleep with?

Shao Zun was also a playboy.

Aren’t you afraid of him cuckolding you?

Gu Bailu immediately felt that Xiao Jingyun’s entire being was glowing green[1].
