Chapter 759 The Emperor’s Allure 55
Before he finished speaking, he saw the girl holding the box, her slender white fingers spinning rapidly. It seemed chaotic, but in fact there was a certain pattern.
The box kept making a clicking sound.
Before she could react, the carefully crafted box had been dismantled.
Butler: "..."
She wisely shut up.
The mechanism was cracked and the box burst open, revealing... a box inside.
The style is the same, even the pattern is exactly the same as the one outside, but it is smaller and the mechanism is different.
Qing Wu looked down, then quickly cracked the mechanism again with a dull face.
Fortunately, another box didn't pop out of the small box, otherwise she would have considered smashing it down with a hammer.
But what was inside was somewhat unexpected.
It is a folded yellow cloth.
She pulled it out and opened it.
The housekeeper had a vague suspicion when he first saw the piece of cloth. Now that he saw her opening it, he immediately reacted and couldn't help shouting: "Imperial decree!"
Qing Wu looked at the words written on the imperial edict and frowned.
This is an edict of succession.
It clearly says, "Legend of the Seventh Lady Chu Qingwu."
No wonder Li Guijun once said, "In fact, you don't need to compete with them for that position." 】
She doesn't need to compete with others for the throne...
The meaning of this is not that she should not fight for it, but that the throne is already hers.
No matter what, it will be hers.
Being so favored, Qingwu held the imperial edict but couldn't be happy.
Being an empress is not only troublesome, but also does not meet the original owner's wishes at all.
Ah, headache.
Seeing her calm expression, the housekeeper couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, what does this imperial edict say?"
"It's nothing...just let me take good care of my father." Qingwu answered seriously.
Qi Yan, who was standing next to her, clearly saw the contents of the imperial edict. Hearing what she said, he couldn't help but pull her sleeve, "Your Highness?"
"Ayan saw it too, right?"
Facing the girl's smiling and suggestive eyes, Qi Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded to the housekeeper.
The couple looked innocent and harmless at the same time, and the housekeeper didn't doubt that he was there and didn't ask any more questions.
Qing Wu slowly refolded the edict and put it back into the box.
After thinking about it for a while, she felt it was not safe, so she restored the mechanism of the big and small boxes, and then put them back in their original positions.
Qi Yan looked at her actions tenderly.
After returning to the room, he put his arms around the girl, put his head on her shoulder, and asked softly: "Your Highness, don't you want to be an emperor?"
Qingwu shook his head slightly: "I don't want to."
After a pause, she stepped back, reached out to hold his fair chin, and asked: "Ayan, do you want to be the master of the harem?"
Qi Yan pursed his lips, and then asked with unclear meaning: "Your Highness, do you want a harem?"
His voice was low and he seemed a little aggrieved.
Send a proposition.
Qing Wu, whose desire for survival broke out, weakly retracted his hand: "...I don't want to."
The other person lowered his head and rubbed her forehead with satisfaction.
——
For several days in a row, Qingwu stayed in the palace from dawn to dusk every day to deal with the funeral affairs.
The empress died and the three princesses were thrown into prison. The other princesses became restless, salivating over the throne and ready to move.
Everyone was speculating on whether the empress had left any posthumous edict. They sent people to the palace to inquire about the news but were stopped by the guards.
After the death of the eldest princess, Mr. Wang wanted to settle accounts with Chu Qingwu, but unfortunately he was imprisoned in the Supervision Department.
No matter how long his hands are, they can't grow as long as the Supervision Department, so there's nothing he can do against her.
