Chapter 95: The Grand Preceptor’s Bad Idea
“Father Emperor, this matter is too sudden. Let’s discuss it later.”
Luo Yunxuan finally managed to get a word in. Compared to Su Lingxi, he was not much better off. He couldn’t eat this meal at all.
Although he had indeed had a good impression of Su Lingxi before, he had already given up because of his relationship with Luo Chuxue.
Who knew that when he came to his own home, his Father Emperor would bring it up again?
Seeing that Luo Yunxuan had said so, and that Su Lingxi was also constantly refusing, the Canglan Emperor was a little disappointed. But he knew that it was impossible to settle this matter at this dinner table.
“Forget it, forget it. Let’s eat. We’ll discuss this matter later!”
Luo Yunxuan and Su Lingxi looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
This meal was too uncomfortable.
Seeing that the two had almost finished eating, the Canglan Emperor signaled the servants to clear the banquet.
Su Lingxi and Luo Yunxuan took their leave first.
After the two left, the Grand Preceptor, who had been hiding behind the screen, walked out.
“Grand Preceptor, what do you think of the matter I proposed?”
The Canglan Emperor asked silently. The Grand Preceptor waved his folding fan and sighed. “Your Majesty, this matter is indeed not as easy as we imagined.”
“Although Su Lingxi and the Crown Prince are resistant to this matter, nothing is absolute.”
The Grand Preceptor’s words aroused the Canglan Emperor’s interest. “You mean, there is still room for maneuver in this matter?”
“Your Majesty, this servant has a plan, but it is a conspiracy. I am afraid it will dirty Your Majesty’s ears.”
“Feel free to speak.”
The Grand Preceptor walked a few steps in the hall and then said, “Although Su Lingxi and the Crown Prince are not in love, and neither of them has any intention of communicating further,”
“If this continues, what Your Majesty hopes for will definitely not happen.”
“Get to the point!” the Canglan Emperor emphasized.
“Your Majesty, this servant believes that we must use some underhanded means to make Su Lingxi and the Crown Prince’s relationship a done deal. Only then can this matter be accomplished.”
Who knew that before the Grand Preceptor could finish, the Canglan Emperor had already slapped the dragon throne and shouted angrily.
“You bastard, how dare you use such a despicable method on the Crown Prince? If people find out in the future, where will the face of my Canglan imperial family be?”
Hearing the Canglan Emperor’s anger, the Grand Preceptor knelt down in fear. “Your Majesty, this servant believes that although this method is not presentable, it is indeed effective.”
“Your Majesty, my Canglan has been established for a thousand years not just through bloodshed and sacrifice. If our imperial family wants to hold great power, some things must be done differently.”
The Grand Preceptor prostrated himself, his words filled with humble pleading.
After a moment, the Canglan Emperor’s expression finally softened a little. “Get up!”
“Tell me the specifics.”
Hearing this, the gloom that had been hanging over the Grand Preceptor’s head dissipated a little.
He stood up and replied, “Your Majesty, this servant has a bottle of aphrodisiac water that I obtained from the common folk. If it is supplemented with some wine, the effect will be very good.”
“What is the effect of the medicine?”
“Those who drink this water will lose their minds for a short period of time. The effect is similar to an aphrodisiac,” the Grand Preceptor replied truthfully.
“Of course, if Your Majesty is worried about the Crown Prince’s body, then you can just let Su Lingxi drink it.”
“After the deed is done, just find an opportunity for the two to be alone.”
The Grand Preceptor spoke vividly, as if success was right in front of him.
The Canglan Emperor nodded. Su Lingxi was also a first-class beauty. If she took the initiative to throw herself at him, probably no normal man could resist.
The Canglan Emperor then said, “If it’s done, then it’s done. If we’re going to do it, then let’s do it thoroughly.”
“At that time, find a way to make both the Crown Prince and Su Lingxi drink the aphrodisiac water. That way, it will be a sure thing.”
Grand Preceptor: “Your Majesty is wise!”
In that case, if the two of them drank the aphrodisiac water at the same time, it would be impossible for Luo Yunxuan to resist Su Lingxi, who was actively throwing herself at him.
“I’ll leave this matter to you.”
The Canglan Emperor seemed not to want to talk about this topic for too long. The Grand Preceptor agreed and retreated.
Su Lingxi and Luo Yunxuan had no idea that they had been plotted against.
The two of them walked on the road, each with their own thoughts.
“Why don’t you go and see Chuxue? Father Emperor’s words were a big blow to her,” Luo Yunxuan suggested.
Su Lingxi also thought so.
“About the matter between the two of us, your Father Emperor isn’t serious, is he…” Su Lingxi couldn’t help but ask.
“I think it’s most likely true, but you don’t have to worry. You have the Sect Master to back you up.”
“Even if Father Emperor is the emperor of a country, he will definitely not act recklessly.”
Su Lingxi was still a little hesitant. “Then what if he acts recklessly in the imperial palace…”
“He probably won’t. Anyway, let’s not think about it too much for now. Let’s go back and see Chuxue first.”
“I’ll go back and rest first. Call me if you need anything.”
“Alright.”
Su Lingxi and Luo Yunxuan separated at a corner.
Following her memory, Su Lingxi found Luo Chuxue’s bedchamber.
Knock, knock, knock!
“Chuxue, I’m back.”
Just as Su Lingxi knocked twice, the door was pushed open by Luo Chuxue.
Luo Chuxue did not look well, and her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.
“Chuxue… don’t take your Father Emperor’s words to heart.”
“Even if he is the Canglan Emperor, if I don’t agree, he can’t force me.”
Su Lingxi’s comfort seemed to have some effect, and Luo Chuxue’s expression softened a little.
“I know… I know. It’s just that I’m really a little sad.”
“Lingxi, I know it will be difficult for our relationship to be acknowledged by Father Emperor. I didn’t expect it to be so difficult.”
While Luo Chuxue was sad, Su Lingxi also knew that they couldn’t do anything now.
She could only prove it with her actions.
Su Lingxi stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Luo Chuxue’s waist, pulling her into her embrace.
Even if Luo Chuxue had many grievances, being held by Su Lingxi like this would make her feel much more at ease.
Su Lingxi gently patted Luo Chuxue’s back and comforted her, “Chuxue, I will work hard to become stronger, until the day your Father Emperor acknowledges our relationship.”
“Do you believe me?”
“I believe you.”
Luo Chuxue hugged Su Lingxi even tighter. Just now, while eating, Luo Chuxue felt that her mind was in a mess.
At that moment, Luo Chuxue felt that she couldn’t stay any longer.
So she couldn’t stand the torment and returned to her own bedchamber.
“Then don’t listen to your Father Emperor. Don’t marry someone else, okay?”
Hearing Su Lingxi’s words, Luo Chuxue burst out laughing.
“Silly, I’m already with you. How could I marry someone else?”
“If I’m going to marry someone, it’s going to be you, right?”
Luo Chuxue’s words of love tugged at Su Lingxi’s heartstrings. Her heart beat faster, but she suddenly thought of Xiao Bai’s mission.
Su Lingxi’s face suddenly flushed, but she couldn’t bring herself to make that request.
“What’s wrong, Lingxi? What are you thinking about?”
Luo Chuxue’s words brought Su Lingxi back to her senses. She suddenly remembered the pearl necklace she had bought for Luo Chuxue.
With Luo Chuxue’s exclamation, Su Lingxi took out the pearl necklace.
Su Lingxi’s fingers went around her neck and put the necklace on her jade-like neck.
“I like it so much. This is a gift from Lingxi…”
Su Lingxi’s surprise made Luo Chuxue very happy. She lowered her eyes and looked at the necklace, burying her cheek in Su Lingxi’s embrace.
Su Lingxi lowered her head and kissed Luo Chuxue’s warm lips.
A blush appeared on Luo Chuxue’s face, pure and charming.
A brief moment of tenderness, but it carried their mutual love.

Small Theater
Xiao Bai looked at the countdown in her hand. “Today is already the fifth day. I think you don’t want to do it anymore, Su Lingxi!”
Su Lingxi hugged Xiao Bai’s thigh tightly. “Please, just give me one more day. I will definitely complete the mission.”
Xiao Bai pushed Su Lingxi away with a disgusted look on her face.
“Alright, tomorrow is my last deadline.”
“If you don’t complete the mission, you’ll die!”
