Chapter 158 The Imperial Advisor of a Female-Dominated Society (Part 4)

On the way back, Qingling looked concerned, but hesitated to speak.

Qingyu did not return to the palace immediately, but instead went for a stroll in the Imperial Garden. This was the Empress's private domain, and apart from some favored concubines, only Qingyu was allowed to enter.

The Imperial Garden was a riot of color with a hundred flowers in full bloom, but the moment Qingyu arrived, the flowers seemed to lose their luster. Among all things, only her figure stood out with its unique color.

Qingyu gently stroked the delicate petals with her jade-like hands, and the sunlight shone on her, outlining her perfect silhouette.

"You have something to say?"

She slightly raised her eyes, a hint of casual inquiry in her gaze, and looked at Qingling.

Her captivating eyes seemed to be shining, and Qing Ling's eyes trembled. In that instant, she felt that the entire garden paled in comparison, and the beauty of the person before her was breathtaking.

Qingling opened her mouth and said softly, "You don't need to exhaust yourself for their competition... it's too harmful to your health."

In his opinion, Qingyu could completely ignore the competition among the princesses and princes. He was also afraid that if she got too close to them, they would discover her beauty and start fighting over her.

Beside Qingyu...

Now it's enough that he's all I need.

Upon hearing this, Qingyu chuckled softly, her smile as radiant as spring flowers in full bloom, yet tinged with a hint of coldness.

"You don't understand. This throne must be in my control. Only in this way can I balance the various forces. As for those who fight, they are just pawns on my chessboard."

"And..." She paused, a smile playing on her lips, but her eyes remained devoid of emotion, "Don't you think Feng Yu has changed a lot? She might be the dark horse of the night, so it wouldn't hurt to play with her a bit, would it?"

Her voice was as clear and cold as an icy spring on a snow-capped mountain. As she finished speaking, the flower in her hand was instantly crushed, and bright red sap flowed out, running down her fingertips and into the fair skin of her wrist...

Qingling's heart tightened. He knew Qingyu's resolve, but he still couldn't help worrying. "But if you deplete your spiritual energy every time you step in, in the long run..."

“No need to worry, I know what I’m doing. As for you, if the Seventh Princess contacts you recently, you can try to make contact with her.” Qingyu interrupted him, her gaze darkening.

Qing Ling lowered her head, her hands clenched into fists, concealing the complex emotions in her eyes. "Yes, Grand Preceptor, but please rest assured, I will never betray you!"

His voice was firm, and Qingyu understood his loyalty without even listening, so she nodded casually.

Just then, a man's laughter came from not far away. Qingyu looked over and saw a man in fine clothes walking slowly towards her, followed by a group of servants.

This man was Consort Ru, who was extremely beautiful. Although she was in the harem, she was no less cunning than others.

In Qingyu's eyes, the other person always seemed to have a seductive charm...

Qingyu even unconsciously thought of sex reassignment surgery in a certain country...

As her thoughts returned to normal, Qingyu saw the person slowly approaching and wanted to leave, not wanting to get entangled with them any longer.

Consort Ru spoke first: "Grand Preceptor, what brings you here to admire the flowers today?"

Consort Ru smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes; in reality, she gripped her handkerchief tightly, always feeling that the Imperial Advisor opposite her...

She seemed to have become even more beautiful, and every smile and frown was more alluring than his own, making his heart waver.

Qingyu gave him a cool look, her eyelashes trembling slightly, but she didn't say anything.

Her haughty attitude was like a snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains, making people dare not be presumptuous at first glance.

Seeing this, Consort Ru couldn't get angry. But thinking of her purpose, she bit her lip and said to herself, "I've heard that there has been a lot of fighting in the court recently because of the matter of the crown prince. I'm sure the Grand Preceptor is also working hard on this. You should take care of your health when necessary."

His last sentence carried a hint of sincerity, and his tone unconsciously softened.

Qingyu had little experience with palace intrigue, especially male-dominated palace intrigue, so she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Finally, a distant smile appeared on his lips, "The affairs of this Imperial Preceptor are none of Consort Ru's concern."

Consort Ru's face paled slightly. For some reason, the moment she was rejected, her heart ached, as if...

It is extremely painful for him to never receive a direct look from the person in front of him.

This emotion was complex, and he tried to suppress it, bowing slightly and saying respectfully and with concern, "Your Majesty, I am only concerned about you. After all, the situation in the palace is unpredictable, and no one knows when they might be plotted against. If Your Majesty were to participate more in court affairs..."

This person...

Betrayed?

These words sounded like he was concerned about her. A sly glint flashed in Qingyu's eyes. She suddenly walked closer to him, and the sweet fragrance that greeted her made Consort Ru a little confused. When she looked up, she met those star-like eyes, a gaze that seemed to last a lifetime.

When the cold fingers of the person opposite him lifted his chin, his body involuntarily trembled. Even though he was not short, he subconsciously cooperated with the other person.

"Consort Ru looks much older lately."

Qingyu's words caused Consort Ru's expression to change slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to cover her face. "What do you mean by that, Grand Preceptor?!"

His voice didn't contain much anger; instead, it revealed his grievance.

Qingyu had only been in the mood for a casual flirtation. Upon hearing this, she casually let go of his hand, gave a light scoff, turned and left, leaving behind only the words, "This is boring."

In an instant, Consort Ru's face turned deathly pale.

Qingling glanced at Consort Ru, her eyes flashing with a fierce light, but she quickly concealed it and hurriedly followed Qingyu's steps, leaving Consort Ru standing there, staring blankly in the direction the two had left.

------------

Feng Yu was only able to leave the palace after listening to the Empress's reprimand for an hour.

At that time, she was in excruciating pain all over her body, and her legs felt like they were no longer her own. When the eunuch escorted her to the palace gate, she saw a tall figure waiting not far away.

She felt a warmth in her heart and quickly stepped forward.

"Zishan, what are you doing here? It's cold, don't catch a cold."

The man, dressed in light-colored clothes, had a handsome face and a tall, slender figure. His gaze was full of concern as he looked over. "Your Highness, I'm worried about you."

Those few words warmed Feng Yu's heart.

She had been in this world for a few days and was surrounded by all sorts of demons and monsters. This was the man who was most loyal to her. Although his family background was not good, he was gentle and considerate, which was really touching.

Xu Zishan didn't miss the emotion in Feng Yu's eyes. A smile slowly appeared on his lips as he picked up the cloak in his hand and personally draped it over the person in front of him.

Finally, he smiled earnestly and said, "Your Highness, I hope you don't catch a cold."

Feng Yu couldn't help but want to hold his hand, but he dodged it, leaving her feeling regretful.

This man is good in every way, except he's too chaste and won't let anyone touch him.

However, Feng Yu didn't force it. After all, she wasn't thinking about getting married yet, nor was she the kind of person who would force someone.

She half-pulled Xu Zishan toward the carriage in the mansion, saying, "Let's get in the carriage and go back; it's getting late."

The two boarded the carriage together.

The atmosphere in the car was somewhat tense. Neither of them spoke. Feng Yu was a little tired. She had failed today and almost exposed herself. She was exhausted.

Xu Zishan, on the other hand, was organizing his thoughts. After a long while, he tentatively asked, "What does Your Highness intend to do with the concubines in the manor?"

Feng Yu's body stiffened, and she felt a chill run down her spine.

Seriously, even if she weren't exactly a paragon of virtue in modern times, she definitely wouldn't be a player!

But the original owner of this body... was truly a scoundrel! Although the original owner wasn't outwardly a gambler and womanizer, he was a genuine sucker for good looks!

If she finds a man attractive, she must have him!

By then, she had abducted quite a few handsome men in the city without any powerful connections. She would bring them back and do nothing but take good care of them...

Over time, the yard became completely crowded!

The first thing Feng Yu did upon landing was to deal with those handsome men!
