"Very good, go back and rest. I will send someone to take you back in three days."

"Thank you, His Majesty the Pope."

After taking one last glance at the other person's long black stocking legs and smelling the fragrance coming from the other person's body, Gu Beizhi turned around and left the Pope's Palace.

Looking at the figure from behind, the Pope looked very amused, and heard her murmur to herself:

"Nie Zhan, do you think you can get what you want? Haha, Gu Beizhi is mine, you can't get involved..."

…

Tiandou Empire, Imperial Palace.

In the emperor's study, Prince Xue Qinghe was reporting the results of the case to Xue Ye with his head lowered.

After hearing the prince's handling method, Xue Ye couldn't help laughing.

Sure enough, this prince has never disappointed him in his work.

Making Qinghe the crown prince was definitely the most correct decision he made in Xueye's life.

"Qinghe, you did a good job this time. Not only did you severely punish the murderer, but you also established prestige for our Tiandou Empire in the world. Good, good, good..." Emperor Xueye was not stingy with his praise.

"This is all due to my father's careful guidance. Without my father's careful cultivation, I would not be able to do these things well." Xue Qinghe replied humbly.

"Okay, okay...not arrogant, not impatient, very good." Xue Ye stood up, patted the prince on the shoulder, and said with a smile:

"Qinghe, the Tiandou Empire will be handed over to you sooner or later. You must not disappoint my father."

"Father is in his prime, Qinghe..."

"Qinghe, my father knows his own body well. I'm afraid it won't last ten years." Xue Ye suppressed a smile and laughed at himself:

"So you have to be prepared. Do you have the confidence to fight against the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire?"

Ten years? You actually have ten years left? Xue Qinghe’s mind sank.

She couldn't wait any longer, not to mention ten years, five years or even three years. She was looking forward to Xue Ye's early death day and night.

If we really let this old guy delay his death for ten years, then everything will be too late.

It seems that I have to do something... Xue Qinghe became more determined, but on the surface he said humbly:

"Father, please rest assured that Qinghe will definitely live up to his trust. Qinghe vows to be with the empire."

"Well, that's good, but it's a pity that your second and third brothers left so early, and your fourth brother was ineffective, otherwise I wouldn't have let you bear all this alone now..." Xue Ye murmured.

Second brother and third brother? Don’t worry, you will accompany them soon... Xue Qinghe sneered in his heart and said:

"This is what a son should do. Father, don't worry, just take a good rest."

"Well, step back."

…

After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Xue Qinghe dispersed the servants and stayed alone in the study.

It was obvious that the prince was in a very bad mood.

"Young Master seems to have something on his mind?" the black figure behind the screen asked.

"Elder Snake Spear, I can't wait that long anymore, I have to do something." Xue Qinghe said solemnly.

It's all that woman's fault. This matter must be delayed again and again.

If it continues like this, the plan to steal the country will become a complete joke, and she, the young master of the Douluo Palace, will also become a joke.

This is unacceptable to her.

"But over there with His Majesty the Pope..." the black shadow said with some embarrassment.

The grand ceremony has been ordered, but the plan to steal the country still has to follow the Pope's wishes.

If the Pope does not agree, then even the young master will not be able to influence the plan.

The only thing the young master can decide is to give up this plan and withdraw voluntarily. Otherwise, everything will have to be listened to by the Pope.

"Humph, that woman is happy to see me suffer, but she just can't get along with me!" Xue Qinghe was furious.

"Young Master, maybe the Pope has his own deep meaning?"

"I don't care, I need to go back to Wuhun Palace, and I want to ask her personally!"

"this……"

"Don't worry, I just told Tiandou Empire that I wanted to understand the sentiments of the people. Xue Ye won't doubt it," Xue Qinghe said.

"That's fine, Young Master, you might as well go and ask in person." Black Shadow's voice was a little helpless.

After all, this is a matter between mother and daughter. Their status is really inappropriate.

"By the way, is Gu Beizhi still in Wuhun Hall? Has that woman done anything to her?" Xue Qinghe asked again.

"According to the news, the Pope did not embarrass Gu Beizhi. Instead, he treated her with nice food and drinks, so the young master does not have to worry."

"Haha, I understand, that woman wants to steal someone from me!" Xue Qinghe smiled disdainfully and said confidently:

"It's a pity that woman doesn't know. When you meet someone, the order of appearance is very important. Since I met Gu Beizhi first, I am destined to be the winner."

"This... the young master is right." Black Shadow agreed.

"Listening to Elder Snake Spear's tone, it seems that he has no confidence in me?" Xue Qinghe's expression changed and he said displeased.

"Of course not, of course I have confidence in the young master."

"Hmph, compared with that woman, am I any worse?" Xue Qinghe said confidently:

"What that woman has, I have. What that woman can give to Gu Beizhi, I can also give. What that woman can't give, I can give even more. Plus, Gu Beizhi and I are about the same age, haha...

…”

Strictly speaking, Xue Qinghe's analysis is indeed very reasonable and very correct.

One is a young master who treats others politely and kindly, and the other is an old woman who is gloomy and moody.

Anyone with a sound mind would know who to choose between the two, and Xue Qinghe believed that Gu Beizhi would be no exception.
