“Gui Wan dares not to forget.” Such deep memories of that type of killing intent, she is only afraid that she cannot possibly forget it in her lifetime.
“Since that is so, can Madam tell me, who has won right now?”
“The two year deadline has not yet arrived, how could your majesty speak so lightly of winning or losing?”
“Madam’s words really are filled with confidence, you just said that I possess the entire world, so how could I possibly lose?”
Towards that type of self-confidence, that is more like arrogance, belittling others, Gui Wan laughingly says: “Could it be that your majesty does not know that worldly matters are half reliant on people, half reliant on the heavens? To win or lose, in the end you can only wait and see.”
“That’s right, half reliant on people, half reliant on the heavens,” Zheng Liu slowly stands up, with three points of arrogance, “Until the final outcome, who knows who wins or lose? I am also curious, could it be that Lou Che really has a stone heart?”
Hearing him mention Lou Che, once again gaining a sense of foreboding, Gui Wan raises her head to look at Zheng Liu, just happening to meet eyes with that interested smile displayed on his face.
“Do I still not have a move requiring the use of this crucial chess piece here?”
“Your majesty must be joking, Gui Wan still doesn’t have the heavenly position to place down chess pieces right?” Well aware that this very moment is no longer the time to be pretending ignorance, it is better to put things clear.
Taking two steps closer, Zheng Liu devilishly raises Gui Wan’s chin with one hand, gently caressing as he appreciates the fine and smooth feeling in his hand, deeply dark orbs staring into Gui Wan’s eyes, tenderly saying: “Madam is too modest. This Xi Feng wine really lives up to its reputation, I seem to be a little drunk now.” Surprised at the words he blurted out himself, he instantly releases his hands, lightly throwing back his sleeves, Zheng Liu takes a step away, diverting his eyes elsewhere, his behaviour returning to normal, an extraordinary splendour passing by his eyes.
“Since this bet is still going on, I shall also give it my utmost efforts. Madam, Lou Che took away my consort, right now Jing Ye is vacant, over time, would this not arouse suspicions? Since Madam is spending a short stay in the palace, why not move into Jing Ye, that way, I can also continue to be notified of Prime Minister Lou’s previous repeated offenses, is that not right?”
Knowing that he is referring to the matter of Lou Che taking away Consort Ying from Jing Ye, lightly gritting her teeth in hatred, Gui Wan says nothing.
“Madam’s demeanour is no less than that of the moon, then let us name Jing Ye main hall as ‘Yin Yue Hall’ (Hidden Moon Hall).” His cool voice seeming to carry no feelings, ordering the palace’s Head Eunuch Li gong-gong.
Li Yu raises his head in panic, not daring to answer. The names of halls within the palace are only named for consorts, but what is this situation before his eyes? Just getting the feeling that the Emperor actions today are far beyond the usual, unpredictable, suddenly receiving a sharp sweep of the eyes from Zheng Liu, his heart trembles, hurriedly nodding his head saying yes, how could he dare to have any questioning intentions?
Gui Wan finds it laughable as she watches this scene, originally thinking she had escaped from being imprisoned within the Prime Minister Estate, looking at it now, she had only went through a change of cage. Pale resentment showing, she sits and quietly waits.
