Chapter 160 The Imperial Advisor of a Female-Dominated Society (Part 6)

The boy was a little shy and answered in a low voice, "I am not from an ordinary family, but the son of a concubine in the Prime Minister's mansion."

The Prime Minister's Residence...

illegitimate son...

A name suddenly popped into Qingyu's mind—Gu Zhongchun, the illegitimate son of the Prime Minister's family, the admirer of the female protagonist Feng Yu, and at the same time...

He is the master of the Assassin's Guild.

Qingyu's eyes flickered for a moment, her gaze falling on Gu Zhongchun's hands—covered in calluses, especially at the base of his thumb, indicating that the other party's martial arts skills were not low. She just didn't know why he was looking for her.

However, in the original story, this person was also hidden behind the scenes, providing assistance to Feng Yu from time to time. This time, her departure from the palace is considered outside the storyline, and perhaps something has changed.

"Are you Gu Zhongchun?" Qingyu asked with a faint smile, revealing his identity.

Gu Zhongchun's expression froze. He scratched his head, feigning a simple-minded look, and said, "The Imperial Advisor is indeed clever. Have you seen me before?"

Qingyu shook her head, her smile carrying a profound meaning, which made Gu Zhongchun's heart skip a beat. Then she said, "I am the Imperial Advisor. There are few things in the world that I cannot calculate. It just depends on whether I want to know."

"So Young Master Gu doesn't need to hide anything from me; it's really quite ridiculous."

These words were tantamount to admitting that he knew Gu Zhongchun's identity, including his behind-the-scenes identity. If it were anyone else, Gu Zhongchun might have killed them to silence them. But when he faced Qingyu, with her bright and clear eyes, he couldn't muster even the slightest bad feeling or thought.

Anyway, I had a feeling that I knew it was going to happen.

"The Grand Preceptor truly lives up to his reputation." Gu Zhongchun praised with a smile. He looked well-behaved and at this moment seemed more like an innocent young man, but Qingyu had seen too many of his methods of killing in the plot and knew he was nothing more than a black-hearted lotus flower.

Qingyu scoffed, "Alright, what good stuff do you have to show me? Hurry up, my time is very precious."

"That thing isn't with me right now; it's with someone else. If the Grand Preceptor wants it, I can snatch it from him and give it to you for free," Gu Zhongchun said with a smile, seemingly oblivious to anything amiss.

"Robbery?" Qingyu frowned, somewhat speechless. So this is how this person does business?

Seeing that the man was somewhat displeased, Gu Zhongchun quickly explained, "His father was kind to me, and I saw that he was really poor, so I wanted to help him."

"Really?" Qingyu's eyes were full of disdain, clearly showing her disbelief.

If you really want to help someone, giving them money or making other arrangements would be the simplest way. Why go through all this trouble to find her...

It was simply that what her friend had was something she was interested in, and she could offer Gu Zhongchun the greatest benefit.

Ultimately, it all comes down to interests.

Gu Zhongchun's heart was in turmoil. He was torn between telling the truth, but the truth was too unpleasant to hear, so he kept quiet and took Qingyu directly to their destination.

The two remained silent until they arrived at their destination, at which point Qingyu realized that it was truly a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road; the friend Gu Zhongchun had mentioned was actually the male protagonist, Ye Huai.

At this moment, Ye Huai and Feng Yu clashed and were in a standoff.

“Your Highness, since Feng Jin is your man, he will be your man for life. In this world, it is difficult for men to survive. Why are you so aggressive? Is it possible that a royal palace cannot support a man?”

Ye Huai was handsome, the kind of striking beauty that captivated anyone who looked at him. He supported Zheng Fengjin with one hand and glared angrily at Feng Yu.

The latter, who had been marveling at the handsome man, frowned upon hearing this. "I took him in because he was sold by his family and I was afraid he would be harmed again. Now that I have cleared out my concubines and intend to work hard, is it fair to ask me to keep him here...?"

"Besides, if you feel sorry for him... why don't you come in and keep him company?"

This was purely Feng Yu's careless remark; Ye Huai was just too handsome, and she was somewhat obsessed with looks, so she couldn't help herself.

A murmur rippled through the crowd as people whispered amongst themselves. Qingyu, hidden in the crowd, watched the scene with great interest, thinking to herself that the plot was getting more and more interesting.

The original plot didn't start with this argument.

Seeing this, Gu Zhongchun quietly approached Qingyu and whispered, "Grand Preceptor, that item is on Ye Huai."

Qingyu raised an eyebrow slightly, signaling him not to rush and to read it first.

At this moment, Ye Huai heard Feng Yu's last words and his face turned bright red. "Your Highness, please don't talk nonsense."

Feng Yu crossed her arms and snorted, "This prince never speaks carelessly!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Huai glared angrily, gritting his teeth, "Is Your Highness acting so recklessly the behavior of royalty?"

Feng Yu gave him a disapproving look. "I admire you, why are you bringing this up?"

He then looked at Zheng Fengjin and sneered, "You..."

Before the conversation could even begin, Qingyu suddenly stepped forward, revealing herself to the world.

Her elegant demeanor immediately drew everyone's attention to her.

Feng Yu's eyes lit up, and she almost blurted out Qing Yu's identity. Then Qing Yu spoke first: "I'm curious, in all your arguing, have you asked this Young Master Feng Jin's opinion?"

Everyone was stunned.

Zheng Fengjin's heart trembled. He slowly raised his head and looked at Feng Yu with a firm gaze. "Your Highness's kindness is understood by Fengjin. Fengjin does not wish to be a burden to Your Highness and is willing to leave with Young Master Ye."

Now that things have come to this point, if he doesn't go back, does he really expect Ye Huai to accompany him into the mansion?

No need.

Ye Huai, however, stared wide-eyed, not expecting this outcome. He immediately stomped his foot in anger, "Feng Jin, you don't need to be afraid of him! There is a law in this world!"

"It's no use, Ye Huai, thank you, but those who are meant to leave will eventually leave." A bitter smile appeared on his lips, then quickly disappeared.

The matter was finally settled, but Feng Yu couldn't be happy. She couldn't explain her thoughts, so she turned to Qing Yu and asked, "Why... why did Miss Hu come out?"

Qingyu's real name is Hu Qingyu.

Upon hearing this, Qingyu smiled slightly, stepped aside to make way for Gu Zhongchun, and said, "I'm just having a get-together with some friends."

"Miss Hu has friends too?" Feng Yu blurted out, then realized her mistake and gave an embarrassed smile. "I was a bit blunt, Miss Hu won't mind, will she?"

"Of course... I mind!"

Feng Yu's smile froze. She hadn't expected Qing Yu to be so blunt, but when she met the latter's clear eyes, she couldn't say anything unpleasant. Instead, she felt incredibly ashamed.

Tsk, this imperial advisor is toxic!

Feng Yu was speechless, but Ye Huai recognized Gu Zhongchun and asked in confusion, "Zhongchun? It's you? Are you... here to see me?"

Gu Zhongchun originally intended to "take" Ye Huai's things without anyone noticing, but he didn't expect Qingyu to know everything.

Since that's the case, there's no need to hide it anymore.

"I need to discuss something with you. Are you free now?"

His gaze swept over the group, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Ye Huai was somewhat embarrassed. He pursed his thin lips, grasped Zheng Fengjin's arm, and said to Feng Yu, "Now that things have been explained, there's nothing more to say."

Feng Yu opened her mouth, but ultimately kept a straight face and didn't say anything more.
