”Your Majesty! This is so bad!” exclaimed a troop who ran hurriedly towards Shu Yinzhi who was about to enter his room after meeting the Emperor.
”What's up?” shu Yinzhi asked who was directly looking at him.
With a breath of breath, the young man attempted to say, ”Princess Qingzhi, he fought the bandits that were inside the forest alone!”
Shu Yinzhi looked surprised and her expression showed that she was very worried about him. He straightened both shoulders and said, ”... Whatchu mean?! Why did you just leave him? Didn't I tell you to protect her all the way to her destination?!”
”I've tried but, Princess Qingzhi still insisted on fighting them alone and told us to leave. However, the troops said that they were not paid at all for this and you also hated Princess Qingzhi very much from the beginning. So, they all go without a fight.” clear youth.
Liu Zhenqi interrupted the conversation, ”... Your face doesn't prove that you hate Princess Qingzhi. And you also pay attention to it all the time. But, why do they think that you hate him so much?”
Shu Yinzhi clucked in annoyance. He called the head of Kasim who was also following him from behind and said, ”... Gather the troops ordered to escort Princess Qingzhi then, tie and beat them until I return here.”
Looking at Shu Yinzhi's cold face, the Eunuch's head immediately lowered his head and said, ”Well, Your Majesty! I'll do it soon.”
”Zhenqi! Make sure they do it right. I will be back soon.” he said as he walked through his room and was followed by the young man who had previously said this to him.
On the other hand, Liu Zhenqi looked puzzled because Shu Yinzhi always left just like that after saying her sentence when she had not answered him at all. ”... Is he being possessed or the spirit of the late empress who has influenced him to this extent?” muttered Liu Zhenqi who looked puzzled.
At the same time, Shu Qingzhi finally woke up in a vast white room. There are so many patterns that become the decoration of the pillars of the building. In addition, he also inhaled the scent of the river that was everywhere.
The place she was sleeping in right now was so soft and comfortable. All this time, he never slept in a place like this because he always slept with a rough mat. And once he knew that his life had been saved by someone unknown to him, he immediately took a sitting position and noticed what was around him.
”Gold is a lot. Is this place a treasure warehouse?” murmured Shu Qingzhi who looked surprised after seeing a pile of gold and diamonds that were so large that they even filled the room.
He walked up to the pile of gold and touched it one by one. ”... Why did I wake up in a place like this?” Shu Qingzhi was confused because no one was there but him.
Then, shortly after someone touched his shoulder so that, it made him look surprised and immediately turned to look at the person.
”Nona, food is ready. Miss must be very hungry after a very long journey.” said a man with jet black hair and dark blue eyeballs. At first glance, he looked like an ordinary young man. However, he had a hint of snake scales growing under his eyes.
Quickly, Shu Qingzhi immediately stepped back away from him. It felt strange when he met this young man. It was obvious that he was no ordinary human! And as he stumbled while walking backwards, there was one more person who was holding his back so that he would not fall backwards.
A second later, he looked back and saw a girl with yellow and golden eyes. But again, there is something strange about it. On his head, he has fish fins in his ears.
That certainly made Shu Qingzhi feel very confused and wonder who had saved him this time. He immediately fell down while watching the two of them standing in front of him.
The young man looked worried as he looked at her and asked, ”What's the matter Miss? Is there something strange here?”
The girl immediately moved and tried to help him stand up while asking, ”Why is Miss so surprised? Take it easy, Miss is not dead. Right now, Miss is in the Dragon Witch Palace.”
Shu Qingzhi was startled and directly pointed towards the fish fin that was in the ears of the girl.
As if understanding what makes him curious, the girl immediately replied, ”Nona must be confused who we are.” he said accompanied by his smile that looks friendly. ”... I am Yin Chu, the Goldfish demon and the man behind me is Gu Ruo, the snake demon. This one of us, is the servant of the black Dragon Witch, Mr. Shangguan Wei.”
Shu Qingzhi looked at the two in confusion. During this time he never knew that there were characters such as goldfish stealth and also snake stealth in the story. All he knows is that he is the main character of his own story. Moreover, at the end of the story he will be hanged for being accused of poisoning the Emperor.
”Nona may be very confused at the moment. Why not just eat your food while it's still warm?” gu Ruo said as he extended his hand. However, Yin Chu instantly slapped his hand and snapped, ”What are you doing?! Men should not touch the future consort of Lord Witch!”
Shu Qingzhi was stunned and asked, ”Who will be the empress?”
Yin Chu and Gu Ruo looked surprised and directly stared towards Shu Qingzhi simultaneously. ”... Does Miss know nothing?” asked Yin Chu who looked anxious.
Shu Qingzhi did not reply and simply shook his head.
”Nona, you're the one who's going to be the empress for Lord Witch. Don't you remember what happened to Miss when she drowned in the lake two years ago? The witch master saved Miss and brought Miss back to the mainland.” explained Gu Ruo.
”That's right, Miss!” yin Chu Sahut. ”... The witch lord had already crowned Miss as his future empress even when the witch master first met Miss.”
”Yes. It's not like it takes a long time to like someone. The witch master immediately liked Miss when he first met. Miss might think it is very strange if a demon like the Magician Master could like a human. But, the demon was very loyal to his partner and always kept his promise.”
Hearing this explanation, Shu Qingzhi simply fell silent at a loss to listen to the explanation of the two of them. Then, suddenly there was the sound of a young man walking towards the three of them. She said, ”You didn't confuse my empress candidate, did you?”
