Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1410 - 819: Tearing Off the Mask?

"

Originally there were all kinds of complaints and anger, but the moment they saw that bare-faced, plain-looking woman on the screen...

Mm... every single complaint just followed the spring river eastward.

Meanwhile everyone on the Bai Faction side just felt their faces hurt.

But Bai Yuanxiu really did exceed Yi Chilian and the others’ expectations—he was actually still fairly calm.

To stay this calm after getting slapped in the face like that!

Just how deep does this guy’s tolerance run?

Chu Muzhe, however, didn’t seem to treat Bai Yuanxiu as the focus, and instead asked:

"Then, about the earlier misunderstanding, what’s your view?"

"Does it matter?"

It doesn’t matter?

"It really doesn’t. Then what about going forward? Or do you need us to send someone over to talk with you?"

As he said this, Bai Yuanxiu stood up. "Since it started because of me, naturally I’ll be the one to go and clear up the misunderstanding with her..."

His attitude was so composed, but it only made it feel even more like their official side had been forced to this point by an outsider.

"No way. Bai is at least one of our core members. Letting him be threatened like this—what does that make us look like!"

"She may be strong, able to kill SSS, but it’s not like there’s no one among the Imperial Guards who can restrain her!"

"Too arrogant! She’s basically declaring herself an enemy of the entire official apparatus!"

The room was in an uproar.

Yi Chilian and the others watched on coldly.

Jiang Muxiu was an important figure in the political circle, not part of the Imperial Guards crowd, and unlike a special type of official like Bai Yuanxiu who had his fingers in various pies, he was purely a civil politician, about the same type as Chu Muzhe, except the latter belonged to a more special department, while he represented only the gov~ernment. He watched in silence right now, no one knew what he was thinking.

The man in the main seat sat cold and silent, playing with an old-fashioned lighter in his palm, no one knew what was on his mind.

Until they all heard from the phone on the other side...

"Better not let it be him."

Chu Muzhe stared at Bai Yuanxiu. "You’ll kill him."

Way too blunt!

That kind of bluntness made Yi Chilian frown; he shot Chu Muzhe a look.

But Sui Yi on the screen seemed to be seriously thinking it over.

"Probably not."

Eh?

That answer surprised everyone present, and they secretly thought the other party was at least somewhat rational, not going to do something that would completely tear her face off with the official side.

After all, Bai Yuanxiu was the Gu Family’s handpicked Prince Consort.

However...

"Since Gu Sansi kept him, he must be useful."

"Then I won’t kill him."

Those two sentences made the entire conference hall so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Quiet—too quiet.

How did this get dragged back to Gu Sansi again?

No, to be precise, the person on the screen had never once put Bai Yuanxiu in her eyes from the very beginning. All of her restraint was only for one person.

Gu Sansi!

But this also kind of ripped away a fig leaf, like—Bai Yuanxiu rose up by relying on the Gu Family, by relying on Gu Sansi!

No matter how glorious, how capable he was now, he couldn’t erase that initial disgrace and humility.

With him clearing out dissidents one after another, aside from those big shots, how many people would still remember this?

No one!

Even if they remembered, they wouldn’t dare say it!

But she did.

She tore it open this bluntly, this coldly.

Letting a shadow fall over all of Bai Yuanxiu’s dignity in this moment.

The Bai Faction’s people were instantly furious, but couldn’t find any strong words to counter; maybe because the other party wasn’t physically here, maybe because of that face, maybe because of those terrifying, uncanny methods of hers...

Or maybe because...

Click.

The Gate opened. Someone stood at the entrance, in a simple long dress, jade-like face soft and gentle.

"Just now... I thought I heard someone calling my name."

Holy shit!

Right now the conference room packed with high-ranking officers was full of dumbfounded faces and capital-letter AWKWARD.

Most people didn’t know how Gu Sansi had slipped past the guards outside and come straight in, but what they did know was that this was the Gu Family’s eldest daughter.

And then?

The man in the main seat looked a bit helpless. He looked at her and pointed at the screen. "When did you get acquainted with her?"

Gu Sansi acted like she was only now noticing Sui Yi on the screen. She glanced over, smiled faintly. "If I told you when, you probably wouldn’t believe it."

She flicked a finger and the phone in Chu Muzhe’s hand whooshed and flew straight into Gu Sansi’s hand.

After casting a deep glance at her fiancé across from her, she looked at the person on the screen and spoke.

"Miss Sui, you picking a fight with my fiancé?"

Holy shit!

Miss Gu was going to stand up for him!

The Bai Faction people were greatly encouraged!

Yet Yue Beiqing and Ming Lanyuan, those two women with antenna-level intuition, both noticed at the same time that Bai Yuanxiu’s expression seemed to have gotten a lot uglier.

Why?

Could it be...

Sui Yi on the screen tilted her head, watching the flurries of cherry blossom and peach blossom drifting down below.
