Chapter 178 The Imperial Advisor of a Female-Dominated Society (The End)
Chapter 178 The Imperial Advisor of a Female-Dominated Society (The End)
Ye Huai finally escaped his impoverished family background and rose to become the most honored person, but he always thought of the Imperial Preceptor he longed for.
Unfortunately, he was unwilling to force Qingyu to come see him, so he could only go to see her again and again.
And then he was rejected time and time again.
On the last day before he left, Ye Huai saw Feng Yu again at the gate of the Imperial Preceptor's Palace.
The moment Ye Huai saw him, for some reason, he felt that this person was not the same as before.
His eyes are no longer as clear as before, and he seems... to have become quite muddled.
Upon seeing Ye Huai, Feng Yu acted as if she didn't recognize him, instead becoming respectful, "Third Prince."
Ye Huai is the third oldest in the neighboring country.
Ye Huai nodded slightly. He had already learned a lot of etiquette when he entered the palace, so he was not intimidated or afraid in front of Feng Yu. He was poised and confident.
He subtly glanced at Feng Yu, and when he saw the box in her hand, his eyes flickered. "What is this, Seventh Prince?"
Feng Yu gave an awkward smile and hid her hands behind her back. "I have something I want to ask the Imperial Advisor... but it seems unfortunate that he's not available today."
"Is that so?" A cold glint flashed in Ye Huai's eyes, then he remembered something and said, "I heard that Your Highness is getting married. Now that you're married, you should cultivate your character more. It's never good to trouble others."
Moreover, he had recently learned some pharmacology and felt that Feng Yu's complexion was dark and her steps were unsteady...
These are signs of kidney deficiency!
Ye Huai grew increasingly disgusted and even took a small step back. "Your Highness should take care of your health."
Since things have come to this, there's no need to bother his imperial advisor anymore!
Upon hearing this, Feng Yu felt even more guilty, as her husband was none other than Xu Zishan.
The truth is that she recently lost her memory, and when she woke up, she found that everything had changed. She no longer had her mother's favor, and although the Crown Princess Feng Yan'er was gone, she still had other brothers and sisters!
This has led to her increasingly awkward position, and because of her gambling and womanizing, no man in the city is willing to marry her.
Left with no other choice, Feng Yu married Xu Zishan, but the latter claimed to be unwell, and the two never consummated their marriage. However, she has been secretly favoring her concubine every day recently...
Sigh, I must have really been making a lot of noise. No wonder I've been feeling increasingly sleepy and uncomfortable lately.
He came here today because he had heard that the Imperial Advisor was omnipotent, and he thought that if he befriended him, he might be able to defy fate...
Who would have thought I'd run into Ye Huai!
Feng Yu cursed her bad luck inwardly, forced a smile and thanked him, then turned and left without looking back.
His back view looked rather disheveled.
Ye Huai breathed a sigh of relief, and when he turned his head, he saw Qing Ling open the door and come out.
His heart skipped a beat, and his eyes widened with excitement. He stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Is she willing to see me?"
Qing Ling's expression was icy, and her words were even colder: "The Imperial Advisor is busy every day, Your Highness, you should return. Besides, the Imperial Advisor said that all arrangements are preordained by Heaven."
After saying that, Qingling turned around and went into the room, closing the carved red wooden door behind her.
It also locked away Ye Huai's heart, causing him immense pain.
After a long while, when someone came to urge him, Ye Huai moved as if he were a piece of wood, and then left step by step.
Inside the Imperial Preceptor's Palace.
The system chattered around Qingyu, "The male lead is leaving soon, and we'll never see him again in this lifetime. How come his aura is gradually diminishing?"
The system didn't understand. It knew that Feng Yu's condition was due to a replacement of her core, so why was Ye Huai the same?
Qingyu raised her hand and cast another divination, but the result still looked bad.
Feeling somewhat annoyed, she casually tossed the copper coin aside and replied unhurriedly, "The current female lead is the eleventh princess. The difference between the two is too great. Compared to Ye Huai, it is naturally more worthwhile for Heaven to choose Feng Zhaozhao."
Even when buying things, one has to be selective, let alone the choice of the male and female protagonists. Given the precedent of Feng Yu, how could Heaven choose randomly?
The system suddenly realized something and was about to say something when Qingling walked in from outside the door.
Holding fruit in her hand, she approached with a gentle demeanor and a smile, saying, "Qingyu, come and have some fruit to soothe your throat."
Qingyu's eyes flickered, and she rubbed her palms together as if picking up a calligraphy brush—
The next second, the brush suddenly flew out, piercing straight towards Qing Ling.
The latter gracefully turned her head to dodge, but the smile on her face did not diminish in the slightest.
"Qingyu, what does this mean?"
Qingyu slowly stood up, her gaze cold. "I hate pretentious people the most. Gu Zhongchun, don't think you can fool me by pretending to be Qingling."
Qing Ling—or rather, Gu Zhongchun—clapped lightly, her eyes full of admiration. "As expected of the Imperial Advisor, he noticed it so quickly."
Qingyu almost rolled her eyes. Qingling didn't know martial arts, and the person in front of her had unsteady footsteps. He was either a ghost or a martial artist.
And Qingling always addressed her with respect.
"What is your purpose in infiltrating this place?" Qingyu's body rippled with spiritual energy, ready to strike.
She's made considerable progress in her cultivation recently. Although she's still just a nobody in the cultivation world, here...
That's enough to deal with them.
"Hey, how could you think so badly of me? I just...missed you a little." Gu Zhongchun's face showed a deep and affectionate expression, seemingly unconcerned about Qingyu's meddling.
In fact, he really didn't care.
It's just an identity, an assassin's alliance. Even if it's gone, he's confident he can rebuild it.
All I need is to make Qingyu feel at ease.
For Qingyu, greasy and cheesy words and burning gazes were commonplace. Everyone who met her wished they could shower her with sweet words all day long to win her favor.
But the more she did this, the more disgusted she felt.
"If you don't leave, you'll be going to jail." Qingyu didn't care about Gu Zhongchun's purpose. She only knew that the male and female leads had already left the show, and everything had settled down. There was no need to pay attention to this male supporting character anymore.
She can be quite playful when she's in the mood, but when she's not, no one can restrain her.
Gu Zhongchun had anticipated Qingyu's indifference towards him, but when he actually faced it, his heart ached terribly.
He stared intently at the person's features, and the more he looked, the more his heart fluttered.
Finally, he sighed deeply, as if resigning himself to his fate, "I can't live without you... I won't bother you any more, but if I need any help, just call me, I'll always be there..."
After he finished speaking, his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
Qingyu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a glint flashed in her eyes. She looked at the pen in her hand and slowly put it down.
But in his mind, he was thinking about the last calculation he had just made.
What she was calculating was whether she would encounter those two groups of people again.
The result is affirmative.
The world is basically at peace now. If we were to meet again, when would it be?
Qingyu was unaware of this, yet inexplicably felt a surge of excitement.
The faint sunlight shone on her, as if she were draped in a thin layer of light, bringing with it a gentle aura. Her skin was as white as snow, and her delicate, flawless appearance was captivating.
Those beautiful, shimmering eyes were filled with emotions that were impossible to decipher.
