Lady, could you please quiet down for a bitThe Western Palace civil and military officials expressed that they were ve...Meanwhile, in the Southern Frontier Palace, Emperor Zhao Jin of the Southern Frontier was just about to lie down and get some rest when the door to his bedroom was kicked open with a bang from outside. Right behind it came a furious voice gritting its teeth, "Old man! You have to give me a satisfactory explanation!"

You don't need to look, even with your toes you can guess who it is. After all, not just anyone has the guts to kick open the door to an emperor's bedroom.

The emperor didn't even lift an eyelid, nonchalantly pulled back the cotton blanket, and lay down as if nothing was amiss. He turned over comfortably and said impolitely, "Oh, you're finally coming home What a coincidence! I'm about to go to bed. If you have something to say, talk about it tomorrow. Go out by turning right, I won't send you off. Oh, by the way, remember to bring me the door."

“You old geezer, you almost got me killed! And you have the nerve to sleep!” Zhao Tianyu gritted his teeth furiously, his forehead bulging with anger. He strode towards the bed and looked down at him, eyes fixed on the meticulously groomed mutton chops framing his face. With a swift hand, he yanked them right off. “Tell me, why did you mess up my love life!”

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Let go! You little rascal, you've nearly pulled out my beard!" He suddenly jumped up from his bed after being tugged. Zhao Jin hurriedly slapped away the hand that was harming him, wishing he could slap this scoundrel against the wall, but he couldn't even get a grip on him!

"I need a satisfactory explanation!" Zhao Tianyu said, his voice cold as he crossed his arms. His dark eyes scanned him with danger.

Looking at this insignificant little wretch in front of him, Zhao Jin couldn't help but walk over and kick him. His two goat beards trembled with anger, "Explain what I am your father emperor, it is only natural for me to decide your lifelong affairs for you! Look at yourself, you are not young anymore, and you are still a single dog with no one wanting you. Even the stray dogs in the neighboring houses have given birth to a litter of puppies, what about you! Back when I was your age, there were children all over the floor."

Thanks to Zhao Tianyu, this unfilial son, Zhao Jin has learned a lot of modern slang over the years and can curse like a pro.

"Zhao Tianyu's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably, his whole face contorted in frustration."

To compare his own son to a stray dog next door, this father is unmatched!

Seeing that he wouldn't speak, Zhao Jin said angrily, "Just give up!" She patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "My child, if you really can't do it, just see a royal physician as soon as possible. Don't be ashamed. I've been longing for my little grandson so much, I'm practically bursting with anticipation."

Having said that, his lecherous gaze instinctively darted to Zhao Tianyu's crotch, a look of pity etched on his face, marred by the passage of time.

“Go! You’re the one who can’t do it, old man! I'm in perfect health!” At these words, Zhao Tianyu instantly flared up, his handsome face turning as dark as ink. “Old geezer, I don’t care what game you’re playing, immediately, right now, break off the betrothal with Princess Ximeng Jiu! Do you hear me!”

"You're being childish! I have already given my word to the Emperor of Ximing. How can we back out now If we go back on our promise at this juncture, do you even consider the consequences Do you want to ruin the reputation of Nanjiang and mine" Zhao Jin frowned and rebuked coldly, her voice unintentionally laced with authority.

Zhao Tianyu choked, then immediately retorted, "But I already have someone I like!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jin was instantly delighted. His eyes swept across the man from head to toe, "Hmm Where is it Come on, bring him over and let me have a look. If it's true, I'll immediately break off the engagement, without a second word, as long as you can bring back someone, even a man, I accept!"

"Damn, this old geezer is such a jerk!"

"Humph, speechless, aren't you You little thing, trying to defy me You're still too inexperienced! Just stay obediently in the mansion these few days and prepare well for your role as a groom. That's all. Now scram, don't get in my way here. I'm tired, I don't want to waste time with you!" As if he had successfully exposed his lie, the emperor smirked triumphantly, raising an eyebrow before pulling the covers back over him and leisurely lying back on the bed.

"Wait a minute! Old man, don't sleep yet!" Zhao Tianyu ignored his teasing and once again grabbed him by his beard, pulling him from the bed.

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Tianyu gracefully settled beside him on the bed, getting straight to the point. “Father,” he said, “I remember you saying there’s an antidote to the Golden Cicada Gu. Where did you put it”

"Golden cicada silkworm What do you want it for" Zhao Jin's face turned cold, her brows furrowed tightly, and a deep look of inquiry flashed in her eyes.

From his tone, Zhao Tianyu felt that there was something to this. He was overjoyed and hurriedly reached out, begging, "I have a use for it, please give it to me."

He didn't miss the fleeting joy that flashed across his face. Zhao Jin's sharp eyes flickered, her voice as cool as water, "Fine, I can do that for you. Just be obedient and marry Ximing Nine Princess. When the time comes, I'll personally present you with the antidote to the Golden Cicada Gu. Otherwise, forget it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianyu's head throbbed painfully. "Father Emperor," he pleaded, "the antidote to the Golden Cicada Gu is very important to me. Please don't force me."

“Humph, I won’t force you, but will you let me go” Zhao Jin coldly snorted, obviously not buying his act. She directly opened her mouth to drive him away, “Go on, I’m truly tired. If you don’t leave, I’ll call the Imperial Guard to escort you out!”

Seeing that the old man wouldn't budge, Zhao Tianyu was exasperated, but helpless. He could only grit his teeth and leave the palace, returning to his room at the tavern.

I tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. At dawn.

Zhao Tianyu, with panda eyes that looked tired and weary, sat stiffly at the dinner table. He listlessly pushed around the rice in his bowl, which tasted bland and tasteless.

Seeing that his buttocks kept fidgeting restlessly and his face looked a little pale, Su Qingying glanced at him with a nonchalant smile after swallowing her mouthful of rice, “Tianyu, did you get hemorrhoids”

"Cough cough cough…" Shangguan Jinghong was caught off guard by her words and choked again, coughing until his lungs felt like they were going to burst. Afterward, he stared at her as if she were a monster.

This girl, besides being pretty, doesn't have a single bit of femininity!

From now on, he must keep his distance from her at mealtimes, or sooner or later she'll choke to death at the dinner table!

"Brother Shangguan, Qingying, I have something to say." After thinking about it all night, Zhao Tianyu made up his mind and decided to tell the truth.

"Listen up." The two stared at him, as if he were about to be executed. Lao Qi was curious, instinctively sensing that he was about to say something important. Without a word spoken, they both pricked up their ears, waiting for him to speak.

Taking a few deep breaths, Zhao Tianyu brewed up his thoughts in his heart. With a gritted jaw, like a valiant man seizing his wrist, he shouted: "Actually I... I am the second prince of Nanjiang! My surname is Zhao, my full name is Zhao Tianyu."

"Clang." With a loosening of grip, both pairs of chopsticks fell straight to the ground. The two people were so surprised that their expressions froze in place.

Holy crap! The world is so small!

No wonder he knows so much about gu poison and even Zhao Ruqing's background, this kid is hiding deep!e you."“I didn’t want to kill you, but you came right to me. You have no one to blame but yourself.” Lan Xin Yao’s eyes flashed with a cold light, her killing intent unmistakable.Now that this person...
