The imperial palace was resplendent.

After eunuch Wu returned to the palace, he walked to the Qinzheng Hall without stopping and reported to the emperor what he saw and heard word for word.

“Aiyo, Your Majesty, you didn’t see it. That Puyang Zheng left this old slave outside the door and ignored me! It was such a hot mess in there and the old slave was right outside…”

The emperor who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe sat on the dragon chair, pondering eunuch Wu‘s words carefully. When he heard that Puyang Zheng was hitting it off with the young man and ignored his imperial decree, he actually quite happy.

“Your majesty… what do you think is going on? This old slave’s stupid brain couldn’t understand it.”

“Eunuch Wu.” The emperor smiled with satisfaction: “Can you tell me, to kill someone, which is better, a real sword or a borrowed sword? “”

“This……”

“Just answer it!”

“This old slave thinks, it’s better to kill someone with a borrowed sword…”

Eunuch Wu carefully looked at the emperor’s face, seeing a look of approval in his eyes, he quietly put down his worry.

Indeed, instead of being exposed to the bright side, it is better to hide in the dark, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and finally fished for the benefit.

In the seemingly upright palace, it was like being surrounded by heavy fog with a deadly sword inside that could not be seen clearly. But there was no turning back, one had to go on step by step and bleed drop by drop.

In the general’s mansion, Puyang Zheng was sitting by the bed with a book in his hand. He looked like he was reading, but only he knew what he was thinking.

The person on the bed was still asleep, there were slightly red marks on the exposed arms, and there were little red marks on the snow-white neck.

Puyang Zheng’s face turned red.

Today, Qi Yan seduced him, probably just to show eunuch Wu and let himself be accused of being blinded by beauty so that the emperor could relax his vigilance… But when he actually touched himself, Puyang Zheng found that something was wrong and he was already out of control.

Following his own heart, he wanted him, just like how he wanted to have physical relationship a woman. When he moaned softly under him, Puyang Zheng felt a sense of satisfaction he had never had before.

Thinking of this, Puyang Zheng’s gaze at the person on the bed was even more complicated.

[The male lead’s favorability towards Qi Yan +10, current favorability: 30]

Qi Yan was awakened from his sleep; he opened his eyes to see Puyang Zheng who was looking at him by the bed.

Puyang Zheng who was caught red handed: “…”

Averting his eyes in a panic, he poured a glass of water on the small table and handed it over as he said in an unnatural tone: “Are you thirsty? Drink some water…”

Qi Yan raised his eyebrows, took the water and drank it all.

Pursing his moist lips, Qi Yan looked at Puyang Zheng and said with a serious expression: “General, today, eunuch Wu will definitely report what he saw and heard to the emperor, so tomorrow, you can propose to the emperor to withdraw the order to marry. But……”

“But?”

“The prime minister may not be able to accept it.” Qi Yan pinched his eyebrows and said sadly: “Although the prime minister does not want his daughter to marry into the tiger’s den, being divorced will make him lose his face.”

“That’s not up to him.” Puyang Zheng snorted coldly and said, “That old crook listens to slander all day long, spoils the concubines and abuses the first wife, he deserves to die!””

Doted on the concubine and abused the first wife?

Qi Yan’s eyebrows jumped and he hurriedly said, “How does the general know that the prime minister favors his concubine and abused his first wife?”

“It has already been spread in the capital. Do you still need to investigate deliberately?”

“General, do you think that if the prime minister marries off his daughter, would it be the first wife’s daughter or the concubine’s daughter?”

“It’s still his first wife’s daughter. If the eldest daughter is not favored, even death is meaningless!”

Puyang Zheng snorted coldly, unwilling to say more.

Qi Yan secretly narrowed his eyes, clouds surged in his heart and finally turned indifferently into a clear water.

Puyang Zheng… knew a lot. The female lead in the original story was very different from the rumor. Why didn’t Puyang Zheng doubt it? Pampering her so much and even confronting the emperor for her?

He should have known that although Puyang Zheng was upright, he was not stupid.

Qi Yan fell silent, vaguely feeling that things had to start with the female lead.
