Be the Master of the Future

Chapter 657
"Okay, when I come back, I will tell you the result of the negotiation." Gu Qiyu said with a smile.

Whether it's his identity as the third highness of the empire or the details about the shrine, he, the only person who has gone deep into the shrine, needs to tell others.

Qingluo nodded, looking at Xuyang who had already risen up, she said softly to Gu Qiyu, "What are you going to do after solving the matter of the shrine?"

Gu Qiyu frowned and pondered for a moment, but he still couldn't think of anything to do. In the end, he could only look at Qingluo with an innocent and bewildered expression.

Qingluo was happy all of a sudden, and pinched his cheeks, "If that's the case, then you can stay with me for the rest of your life."

"Okay." Gu Qiyu grabbed her hand from her face and held it in her palm, smiling silly for no reason.

Bathed in the morning light, the shadows of the two holding hands are cast on the ground, which makes people feel that the years are peaceful.

This should be the so-called calm before the storm.

……

Ever since the young master of the Shen family recognized Qing Luo as the person they were looking for, he originally planned to go out and bring her back himself.

As a result, she entered the imperial palace and never came out again. Even if it was the young master of the Shen family, it was impossible to break into the imperial palace and take away someone unscathed when she was alone.

Therefore, he simply let go, went straight back to the Jingu Palace, and told his father about it.

Shrouded in the black mist, Patriarch Shen, who has not revealed his true face until now, has not spoken after hearing this.

The deadly silence spread, and it was not until a drop of cold sweat dripped from the forehead of Young Master Shen that he finally opened his mouth.

"That lord ordered to bring that girl here at all costs." Patriarch Shen said, and said the shocking words lightly and calmly, "That lord's order cannot be disobeyed. If so, let's start the war."

When hearing that lord, a strange gleam flashed in the eyes of Young Master Shen.

"According to the previous layout, before that lord arrives, let us present a big gift to that lord." Patriarch Shen's voice came out slowly from the black mist, seeming to have a hint of joy.

"Yes." Young Master Shen raised his head and said respectfully.

After finishing speaking, he turned around and backed out.When he reached the door, a cold voice suddenly came from behind him.

"If you can bring that girl back, maybe you can make a little impression in front of that adult." The voice seemed to say with a little regret, "What a pity."

Young Master Shen's back tensed for a moment, but he quickly relaxed and turned around, smiling and saying to his own father, "There is no pity, this is all for the family."

"Really?" Patriarch Shen said with a smile, "I thought you wanted to bypass me to contact that adult."

"You're joking." Young Master Shen's gritted his teeth, and said calmly, "If I don't have any other instructions, I'll go out first."

Fortunately, Patriarch Shen didn't say anything more heart-wrenching this time, and only said two words, "Go."

After the young master of the Shen family went out, he was very calm and casual along the way, as usual, and even teased a few good-looking maids with a smile.

It wasn't until he came to his room that he breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the ground without regard to his appearance, then touched his back that was drenched in cold sweat, with a fierce look in his eyes, and said in a cold voice, "I'm not old enough to die!" Sooner or later, I will take your place and become the closest servant of that lord."

At this time, Patriarch Shen raised his head slightly, as if he heard his son's whisper, the corners of his mouth slowly pulled upwards, revealing a cruel smile.

Even if his own son wants to covet his position, he will never show mercy.

……

The people living in the Imperial Palace naturally don't know what happened in the Jingu Palace.

After Gu Qiyu and Qingluo separated, they went straight to the meeting room.

Because the affairs of the Jingu Palace are still in the confidential stage, there is no one else in this huge conference room except the Gu family and his son.

When the appointed time came, the video communication of the heads of the four royal families immediately appeared on the big screens in all directions.

Lin Jingfeng from the Lin family, Xia Qingzhu from the Xia family, Xu Tianyi from the Xu family, and Nalan Haobo from the Nalan family.

As soon as the four people in power who controlled the four major royal families appeared on the screen, Gu Heng's slouching immediately changed to sitting upright.

After all, he is His Majesty the Emperor. Don't look at how inconspicuous he is in private. Once he appears in front of outsiders, he will definitely lose his royal demeanor.

"Your Majesty, what is the matter that requires you to call the four of us so urgently?" Xu Tianyi from the Xu family was the first to speak.

"What exactly is it, can't we talk about it at the meeting in a month's time?" It was Nalan Haobo who said this, and there was a trace of deep impatience in his eyes.

Xia Qingzhu raised the corner of his eyes, and a thoughtful look flashed in those peach blossom eyes, which were very similar to those of the Gu family.

If there is nothing important, I am afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will not call them over.

"Patriarch Lin also knows what I'm going to say next, so let him explain it to everyone." Gu Heng looked at Lin Jingfeng with a half-smile.

Although they all agreed with the existence of Qingluo, they were somewhat dissatisfied with the head of the Lin family who had put his youngest son in danger before.

Of course, Lin Jingfeng sensed the displeasure from His Majesty the Emperor, and he also knew that this matter was a bit out of place, so he didn't refuse, and began to narrate the matter from beginning to end.

Nalan Haobo's face became darker the more he heard it, and he looked at Lin Jingfeng angrily, "You mean, my daughter of the Nalan family colluded with outsiders in an attempt to overthrow our Tianhai Empire?"

Lin Jingfeng avoided the important ones, "I didn't say that, Patriarch Nalan thought too much."

"Although you didn't say it clearly, that's what you meant." Nalan Haobo looked at him coldly, seemingly furious, but he had already confirmed this fact in his heart.

Thinking back to the group of people he had dealt with before, Nalan Haobo's heart sank. If a daughter is crippled, she will be crippled, but this matter must not have anything to do with the Nalan family.

"Okay, okay, the two Patriarchs, stop arguing." Xu Tianyi saw that the smell of gunpowder was about to come out between the two of them, and immediately became a peacemaker.

Lin Jingfeng didn't plan to have any conflicts with Nalan Haobo at this time.He lowered his eyes to look at Gu Qiyu, and then said, "I asked the Third Highness to go to the Shrine before, and then I would like to ask the Third Highness to tell you what you saw and heard in the Shrine."
