The three of them returned to the palace.
Gu Xichao had a cold expression on his face the whole way.
The little emperor spent a lot of effort to coax him along the way.
However, the effect was still very little.
However, the corners of his mouth were still slightly curled up.
Gu Xichao's expression softened a little. "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much about me.
It's okay. "
He had just lost his face on the street for a while.
He could still bear it. It could be seen that his relationship with Qi Shaoshang in that world was quite good.
Gu Xichao felt that it was worth it to lose his face for his good friend.
The little emperor was very worried.
His originally relaxed mood instantly tightened when he heard this. Wait.
A Dynasty wouldn't be angry, right? Thinking of all the chaos he had gone through to fight for face with the other party, the little emperor couldn't calm down.
When he heard that he forgave Qi Shaoshang, he didn't believe it even if he died.
He stubbornly thought that Gu Xichao was blinded by anger.
Gu Xichao: Idiot.
The little emperor didn't dare to show it. He could only comfort Gu Xichao without showing any signs.
"..."
Xie Lige looked at this scene and laughed so hard that he wanted to die.
In order not to let his son find out, he could only hold it in. He almost had a stroke. It was very uncomfortable.
When they arrived at the palace, Qi Shaoshang entered like a country bumpkin entering the Grand View Garden.
Two eyes were not enough to see.
His whole person showed a silly smile.
From time to time, he would laugh. As the saying goes, a mentally disabled child is much happier.
When he opened the door of the imperial study and saw the ministers inside, Qi Shaoshang was like a mouse seeing a cat. He reflexively prepared to retreat.
Xie Lige happened to be behind him. He smoothly carried him into the imperial study. When he looked carefully, he saw that everyone was here.
Fu Zongshu, Zhuge Shenhou, Marquis Zhao, Wang Shangshu...
There was not a single famous minister missing.
When the ministers saw Xie Lige's figure, they reflexively showed obedient smiles. Their hands were placed straight on the back of their knees. They sat in a row like obedient primary school students and said in unison, "Good morning, Imperial Preceptor."
Xie Lige glanced at them. The ministers trembled and said, "Good morning."
"Have you finished your homework?"
"It's done," they answered in unison.
Qi Shaoshang, who was being held in his hand, felt like he had opened the door to a new world. He glanced at the faces of the ministers in disbelief. At this moment, he felt different.
It turned out that those insufferably arrogant ministers also had a moment when they were obedient, like primary school students in a private school.
Qi Shaoshang raised his head in admiration and looked at the master who was holding his hand. At this moment, he realized that the Emperor's Preceptor's back was shining brightly.
Xie Lige retracted his gaze with satisfaction. Suddenly, he sensed that something was wrong. He lowered his head and met Qi Shaoshang's admiring gaze. He raised his eyebrows and thought that this child might be stupid. He casually threw him onto a chair beside him.
Qi Shaoshang sat on the chair obediently. His hands and feet imitated the ministers and acted like primary school students.
The little Emperor smiled and led Gu Xichao to the seat of honor. Gu Xichao's face was cold. He felt that there was a difference between the monarch and his minister and was not very happy. Halfway through, he saw the fair Fu Zongshu and his eyes lit up. He apologized to the little Emperor and said, "In the morning, I met Fu Daren and there was some misunderstanding. Now is the time to go and explain."
After that, he did not wait for the little Emperor to respond and walked away.
The little Emperor did not understand. When he came back to his senses, he found that his younger brother had already gone to speak in front of Fu Zongshu. He specially moved a chair to sit beside him and whispered to each other like primary school students in class.
The little Emperor suddenly felt that there was some color on his head.
He sat on his throne with incomparable resentment. His fierce gaze swept from Qi Shaoshang to Fu Zongshu. The ministers who were swept by his gaze only felt that their bodies were cold. They were like fish on a chopping board that was about to be slaughtered and could not move. They became more and more obedient.
Gu Xichao's face was expressionless as he chatted happily with Fu Zongshu. "Fu Daren."
Fu Zongshu always had a smile on his face. "Does Gu Xichao care about what happened this morning?
I have already discussed it with the son of the Zhao family. It will not be spread out. "
Although this Gu Xichao's expression was cold, it did not matter. As long as they understood each other's intentions, it was fine. In Fu Zongshu's opinion, although this person looked righteous and awe-inspiring, in fact, his style of doing things was quite similar to the treacherous ministers. They also had things to talk about.
Fu Zongshu felt that if he used force, he might be able to pull the other party into his group of treacherous ministers.
After thinking about it, Fu Zongshu carefully raised his head and quickly glanced at the corner. He received a warning glance from the royal tutor. Uh, his movements immediately paused. He very straightforwardly suppressed the little action in his heart.
He rolled his eyes and continued to smile as he looked at Gu Xichao across from him.
Gu Xichao nodded expressionlessly. In his heart, he let out a sigh of relief. Although he had forgiven Qi Shaoshang, in the end, he still wanted to save face. It would be best if he could maintain a certain degree of respect. After this, he found Fu Zongshu more and more pleasing to the eye.
Fu Zongshu's smile did not change. He had expected that Gu Xichao's attitude would change. His movements were very natural as he avoided the young Emperor's fierce gaze. He quietly said, "I just have a question. Why did that warrior look at me with such a frightened gaze?"
To be honest, it was not a frightened gaze. It was a gaze full of murderous intent. Even now, that person was pressed down on the chair by the royal tutor. His vigilant gaze would occasionally sweep over. If he was not mistaken, once that person discovered that there was something wrong with him, he was afraid that in the next second, he would explode and kill him.
Fu Zongshu felt that he had been wronged.
He was just a minister who played according to the young Emperor's script. He thought that he was wholeheartedly patriotic. He had only found some fun in the script and was viewed with such hostility. He also felt very uncomfortable.
So what if he was a treacherous minister?
He had also protected the country, all right?
If he was a treacherous minister, he could still go down in history!
Gu Xichao looked regretfully at the smiling Fu Zongshu. Sometimes, he also wanted to be a treacherous minister.
He firmly refused to admit it. "It is his first time in the capital. Is it normal that he has not seen much?"
Fu Zongshu smiled like a fox. It was unknown whether he believed it or not. He said meaningfully, "Was he frightened by my appearance?"
Gu Xichao's expression did not change as he replied, "Probably because Sir Fu is too beautiful."
Fu Zongshu's reputation of being a good daughter had spread from the imperial court to the common people. After having a daughter, the doorstep was almost broken. Many elders who had sons looked up to Fu Zongshu and hoped that their family's pig would be a good cabbage.
Fu Zongshu's expression froze. He didn't hate people talking about his appearance. After all, being good-looking was quite advantageous in daily life. At least when the ministers of the imperial court were tearing each other apart, his enemies never said anything too harsh to him. However, as a man, he was being ridiculed for his appearance. He tactfully chose not to say anything else.
Fu Zongshu: Angry. Don't scold my face.
Gu Xichao: Hahaha!!
Xie Lige was satisfied to see the actions of the ministers below, including Gu Xichao's expression when he made Fu Zongshu suffer. He was a little proud. Look, his son could also trick ministers.
Suddenly, he heard the System's voice. "Host!"
Xie Lige was worried that no one would be able to show off. He said, "Second Brother, you came at the right time. Let me take a look at my son. Is he different from before?"
The System was looking for Xie Lige. Although it was very urgent, he still obediently looked at Gu Xichao and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, Host, your son is getting better and better?"
When he first saw Gu Xichao, he was still in the brothel. He was a stubborn little bean sprout next to the peerlessly beautiful Seventh Madame. Although he could see that he would be extraordinary in the future, he was still covered by too much worry. He was as inconspicuous as a stubborn stone. Now, the System felt that this stubborn stone had been polished into a fine jade by Xie Lige.
Looking at the gazes of the ministers in the imperial court, it was enough to see that Gu Xichao had an extraordinary position in the imperial court.
Xie Lige was elated by the praise. What made him the happiest was that he heard the System's affirmation of his ability to raise his son. He felt even more smug.
After experiencing so many worlds, Xie Lige had already experienced what he should and shouldn't have experienced. Fame and fortune were nothing to him. He would rather raise his son.
The System's praise for his ability to raise his son had undoubtedly touched Xie Lige's heart.
Then, the System's following words made him frown.
"Host, the company has an emergency notice. Due to the resistance of the BOSS in the next world, you are now on the verge of collapse. Your son is also at the stage of death. Your vacation may be canceled in half."
Xie Lige frowned, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
His original plan still had at least a year.
The System was also very helpless. It could hear the dissatisfaction in Xie Lige's words, but it couldn't do anything about it. It could only coax him. "But your vacation can continue in the next world."
"Then what's the matter with the BOSS?"
The System immediately raised its hand. "The company guarantees that the BOSS will not harm your life. Our company is a serious company in the Eldritch World. The safety of the host's life is our first priority. Even if the world collapses, we will send you out immediately. Please rest assured!"
Xie Lige was still angry. "I haven't completed the mission in this world."
The System continued to coax him. "It's okay, it's okay. The company promises that all the after-sales service will be carried out according to your plan."
"Really?"
"Really, really!" The System nodded.
Xie Lige was relieved. He then made a request. "Since you broke the contract first, I hope I can make a request."
The System was also relieved. The request was good. As long as it wasn't too difficult, it was fine. "Say it."
"I want to go back to the previous world to take a look?"
The System was extremely shocked. It felt that Xie Lige's brain was probably damaged. After completing the mission, the world would become one, and their company would rarely disturb it. This request made the System very difficult. It was speechless for a moment.
Xie Lige said anxiously, "Why?
Can't I? "
The System was a little hesitant. It could see that Xie Lige really wanted to go back. After interacting with him for a long time, it had some feelings for him. It could only say honestly, "Host, this request involves a lot of things. I can only guarantee that I will be able to convey it to the head office. I can't do anything else."
Xie Lige heard this answer and was very satisfied. After all, the System had told him about the difficulties of returning to the previous world. As long as it could tell the head office, it would be the first step.
He wasn't a fool. He could see that the System had overstepped its authority. His expression softened. "Second Brother, thank you."
