"Master of the Fifth Palace, are you here?" Mu Xi stood outside the door. After knocking on the door, he stood there without moving.
She was actually not sure whether Guo Shuliu would be in this room.
There were many upper rooms on the fifth floor, and she planned to find them one by one.
As long as you are on the fifth floor, there will always be a room that someone will take.
She waited outside the door for a while, but didn't hear any response.
"It shouldn't be here." She turned sideways, preparing to check out other rooms.
Just as she turned around, the door behind her creaked and slowly opened.
Mu Xi immediately turned around and saw Guo Shuliu standing behind the door and asked, "Miss Ye, are you looking for me?"
Mu Xi said calmly: "When I see your carriage, come in and ask."
Guo Shuliu pretended to be puzzled and asked: "What does Miss Ye want to ask?"
Mu Xi said: "Didn't you say before that you want to rush back to the Demon Realm?"
Guo Shuliu was not as anxious as when his lie was exposed, but smiled helplessly: "Hey, that was originally the case. Later, I thought about it. After returning to the Demon Palace, the Grand Palace Master might find some excuse to embarrass me. I simply asked my men to go back and recover."
"Is this embarrassing for you?"
"Yes." Guo Shuliu's tone was a little serious. When he said this, his eyes finally showed a bit of ruthlessness belonging to the demon clan: "Some guys are always unwilling to be left alone and want to cause something. They can make things difficult. How could you let it go when the time comes?"
There is something in Guo Shuliu's words.
But these words are quite true.
Lou Jingxiao allowed Guo Shuliu to go to the small world to act with him and get close to Mu Xi. It was enough to show that Lou Jingxiao valued him very much.
Guo Shuliu's loyalty to Lou Jingxiao cannot be bribed by Lou Yifei. Since he cannot be bribed, he must find an opportunity to get rid of him.
During the days when Lou Jingxiao was away from the Demon Palace, Lou Yifei really tried various ways to torment him.
It's a pity that this guy always thought that the emperor's absence in the palace was the best opportunity for him to take action, but he didn't know that the emperor had already arranged everything. In the eyes of the emperor, all his actions now are just small troubles. Totally ignored it.
Hearing what Guo Shuliu said, Mu Xi's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she glanced at a few dim lights: "It's indeed quite annoying."
"Yes, Miss Ye thinks so too?" Guo Shuliu smiled.
Mu Xi nodded: "Yes."
Then, the two of them had nothing to say.
Mu Xi was still standing outside the door, looking like he was about to come in.
Guo Shuliu opened half of the door and embedded himself in the crack of the open door, looking like he didn't really want Mu Xi to come in.
One wanted to come in, the other didn't want to come in, each one had some ulterior motives, which made them silent for a while.
After a long while, Mu Xi said expressionlessly: "What? Why don't you let me in and sit down?"
Guo Shuliu knew that Ye Muxi would not be so easy to get rid of.
He smiled: "Isn't this not good? If a man and a woman live together for the rest of their lives, if others see it, there will always be more misunderstandings."
Mu Xi said: "On the entire fifth floor, there is only you, or only your people."
Guo Shuliu paused for a moment and then said: "There is no one on the fifth floor, but there will always be one on the fourth floor. If they accidentally take the wrong stairs and go up to the fifth floor..."
"I've taken over the fourth floor, it's just my people." Mu Xi interrupted him expressionlessly.
Guo Shuliu: "..."
He looked at Mu Xi.
Mu Xi stared at him for a moment, her beautiful eyes were cold and she had no intention of giving in. Her delicate and pretty face was as paralyzed as ever, without any emotion of shrinking back.
Guo Shuliu understood that the longer he delayed and refused to let her in, the more suspicious she would be.
So, he had no choice but to slowly take back his hand on the doorknob and said with a smile: "Miss Ye seems to have something to talk to Guo, so let's come in and talk."
He stepped aside.
Mu Xi opened the door, walked in, and sat directly on the chair.
The room is very large and spacious, and the decoration and furnishings in the room are also very exquisite and clean.
As expected of the upper room, it was much more comfortable than other rooms.
There was indeed only Guo Shuliu in the room, and there was no scent of anyone else.
Guo Shuliu didn't close the door either. He sat opposite Mu Xi and poured her a cup of tea.
Mu Xi took it, but did not drink it. Instead, he put the cup in his palm: "I have nothing to do with you."
Guo Shuliu smiled: "So, does Miss Ye want to chat with me?"
Mu Xi nodded: "Yes."
Guo Shuliu immediately felt a murderous intention falling on him.
Guo Shuliu really wanted to cry out that he was wronged, but he just said this casually. He couldn't let his wife come in without saying a word, right
He really didn't mean anything else. Is it really okay for the emperor to stare at him with such murderous eyes
Guo Shuliu said quickly: "Miss Ye, are you kidding me? What can we talk about?"
The implication is that we are actually not very familiar with each other, and there is nothing to talk about at all. There is nothing to talk about!
So Emperor, don’t worry!
Mu Xi looked at the water in the cup that was rippled by her movements: "I want to talk to you about Lou Jingxiao."
Hearing this, Guo Shuliu was startled.
Subconsciously, he looked in the direction of Lou Jingxiao, but fortunately, he held back in time.
"Talk about... the emperor's affairs?"
In the shadow of the room, Lou Jingxiao, whose figure had been obscured by the blindfold, looked at Mu Xi quietly.
Look at her furrowed eyebrows, her slightly pursed lips, and the well-hidden sadness deep in her eyes.
"Yes." She said, her voice was a little soft, as if a gust of wind could float away: "You have known him for a long time, can you tell me something about him?"
Guo Shuliu didn't expect that Mu Xi wanted to talk about this kind of thing, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
No one dares to discuss his affairs in front of the emperor!
Guo Shuliu smiled bitterly and said: "Miss Ye, the emperor loves you so much that it doesn't matter if you call him by his first name. But how can we subordinates dare to discuss the emperor's affairs openly? This is quite disrespectful."
Mu Xi said, "Okay, if you don't tell me, I'll ask you questions and answer them, okay?"
Guo Shuliu said helplessly: "Then... Miss Ye, please ask."
Mu Xi pushed the cup back to the middle: "What was he like before?"
Guo Shuliu blurted out: "Domineering, dictatorial, and idle. As a demon emperor, he is not in the demon palace all day long, and all his official duties are left to us."
"Really?" Did Lou Jingxiao still idle around before
"Of course..." Guo Shuliu was not sure yet. He only felt that the gloomy murderous intention was shrouding his body again. If there was the seemingly nonexistent pressure of the Demon Emperor's bloodline, which made him feel breathless, Guo Shuliu immediately smiled. Get up: "Of course... it's fake. Our emperor is the best emperor in the Demon Realm. He is close to the people, kind, considerate of the demons, and leads the Demon Realm to the mainland wholeheartedly. He is really a good emperor of the Demon Clan!"
