"Of course, Mother Empress, but it might not be possible today. I will bring her to pay her respects at the morning court tomorrow," Qin Muxue said respectfully.
"Very well, I'm already looking forward to seeing what my future daughter-in-law will look like. It's getting late, so the morning court session is adjourned!"
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" The crowd knelt down to pay their respects. During the ceremony, Qin Muxue noticed the expressions on her brother's and sister's faces. They looked fierce and were clearly furious.
Qin Muxue smiled as she looked at them, because they had no more means or trump cards to resist her, and it wouldn't be long before their last army would come to join her.
After that, Qin Muxue left without paying attention to Qin Yu and Qin Wan's expressions, because there was still a disobedient canary at home waiting for her to train.
She rode away from the council hall on a dragon. A short while later, a spaceship appeared above the palace. Qin Muxue paid it no mind, assuming it was just an envoy from another country. She was still eager to see her canary back home.
The person on the spaceship was none other than Li Duanchen, the heir to the Southern Kingdom. He was the Southern Kingdom prince whom Qin Muxue had just refused to see again. Li Duanchen was no good person either; he was the only son and sole heir of the Southern Kingdom's monarch. From a young age, he had been arrogant and domineering, looking down on everyone.
As he grew up, he was born into a life of extravagance, openly raping women in the streets and indulging in debauchery. He spent his days holed up in his own harem, which was several times larger than his father's—truly a harem of three thousand beauties. But even so, he was still not satisfied. He insisted on taking the most beautiful women listed in the Nine Provinces. However, these top beauties were either treasures used by sects to recruit disciples, powerful female cultivators, or already the wives of princes or emperors of other powerful countries.
Marrying a stunning beauty like Qin Muxue made Li Duanchen instantly become arrogant.
He walked slowly into the palace and immediately saw the Empress of Western Qin talking with a minister beside her. Li Duanchen was used to being arrogant and domineering. Even though the power of Western Qin was many times greater than that of his southern kingdom, he still acted nonchalantly and swaggered towards the Empress.
When the Empress saw Li Duanchen's appearance, her initial joy was instantly overwhelmed by anger. However, she calmed herself down, dismissed the ministers beside her, and regained her original majesty as Empress.
"You are Li Duanchen, the prince of the Southern Kingdom?"
"Yes, since you know me, I won't say anything more. Where is your third princess? She's engaged to me, but I can't even see her? Is this how you treat me? Do you still want to get engaged?" Li Duanchen said angrily.
She's no longer engaged to you, please leave.
"What? You've spent so much time coming to the Western Qin Kingdom, and this is how you play me? Aren't you afraid that the Southern Kingdom will take its wrath upon you?"
The Empress was about to fly into a rage, but after hearing these words, she didn't want to say anything anymore, because this person was a complete idiot from beginning to end.
"If your Southern Kingdom truly wishes to send troops against my Western Qin Kingdom, then go ahead and send them. Let's see if your Southern Kingdom has the guts, or if you only have guts but no brains."
"Qin Muxue has already chosen someone. You should go back to where you came from. While you're at it, let your Southern Kingdom monarch teach you some manners. Show your guest out!"
After saying that, several guards forcibly drove Li Duanchen and his party out.
"I am the future king of the Southern Kingdom. If you don't want to die, release me now! How dare you, the Western Qin Kingdom, play tricks on me! I will definitely tell my father, the Western Qin Kingdom..." Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked out of the palace by a guard.
"You! I'll have my father send troops to kill you beasts!" Li Duanchen continued arrogantly, unaware of how ridiculous his words sounded to the people of Western Qin. A nation being chased and beaten by the Southern Barbarians, actually wanted to destroy Western Qin?
"Stop yelling. You just want Qin Muxue, right? I'll help you. I guarantee she'll obey you obediently from now on, but you have to cooperate with us." It was Qin Wan who spoke.
"Cooperation? I'll do anything to get Qin Muxue."
"Very well, Qin Muxue, don't be too smug. We have plenty of ways to get back at you!" Qin Wan said with a smile.
Meanwhile, Qin Muxue had returned to her palace, and the first thing she wanted to do was to go and see the "canary" she had imprisoned.
She slowly opened the door to Gu Baizhi's room. Gu Baizhi was still terrified because she had almost been raped that morning. The moment she saw Qin Muxue, the shameful scenes of being bullied by Qin Muxue that morning flashed through Gu Baizhi's mind. Gu Baizhi's face instantly turned bright red.
The alluring fragrance continued to be released. Gu Baizhi tried to suppress it with her spiritual power, but she found that no matter how she tried, the alluring fragrance continued to emanate. Although Gu Baizhi couldn't smell it, through the suppression of her spiritual power, she could deeply feel that her alluring fragrance was not only unrestricted, but was also emanating even more intensely.
"Hurry up, I haven't settled the score with you for what happened this morning..." Gu Baizhi arrogantly intertwined her hands, turning her head away from Qin Muxue, hoping this would make her look fiercer and deter Qin Muxue. But in Qin Muxue's eyes, this was no different from acting cute and charming.
Seeing Gu Baizhi like this, Qin Muxue not only didn't find her fierce, but even suddenly felt an urge to devour her completely.
Qin Muxue simply smiled.
Then she slowly walked to Gu Baizhi's side. Gu Baizhi was completely unaware that Qin Muxue had come to her side. She was still standing there, maintaining what she thought was a fierce look.
As Qin Muxue smelled the alluring fragrance wafting in the air, her senses began to wander again.
"Get out of here right now! Otherwise I'll..." Before she could finish speaking, Gu Baizhi was pinned against the wall by Qin Muxue.
"Don't do this, let me go..." Gu Baizhi pleaded in a coquettish voice. Then she reached out to push Qin Muxue away. But as soon as her hands touched Qin Muxue's chest, Qin Muxue pinned her hands to the wall.
The atmosphere in the air gradually became very ambiguous.
Qin Muxue inhaled deeply the scent emanating from Gu Baizhi, then gently nibbled at Gu Baizhi's lower earlobe.
"Hmm..." A muffled sound came from Gu Baizhi's mouth.
Qin Muxue pressed her lips to Gu Baizhi's ear.
"I really want you to have a child for me."
