After Xuexue entered the Imperial Palace, she was quickly taken to the Imperial Study Room.
The moment she went in, Xuexue clearly felt the atmosphere was a bit tense.
The Emperor and Old Master Gu were glaring at her like tigers eyeing their prey.
Xuexue properly performed the kowtow courtesy to the Emperor, then obediently stood to the side; since the Emperor didn't speak, she didn't make a sound either.
Birdy standing on her shoulder looked left and right, and in the end locked its target on Old Master Gu's head…
"Tweet tweet tweet, how strange, why doesn't this old man have any hair on top of his head?" Birdy cocked its little bird head as it sized up Old Master Gu, while letting out a sharp voice.
Right at that moment, Xuexue regretted it like hell in her heart; she shouldn't have brought this critter into the Imperial Palace. Old Master Gu already hated her to the bone, and of all people Birdy had to pick him to talk about—wasn't that deliberately stirring up trouble?
