At this time.
Liu Yexi on the side reacted no matter how slow he was, with a look of confusion on his face!
Two pairs of beautiful eyes stared at Gu Lan.
"Ahem, the book has its own golden house, and the book has its own Yan Ruyu... The affairs of the refugees are not something outsiders should know about. It is good for our family to know about it, and remember not to spread it."
Seeing their shock, Gu Lan knew that some "secret" had been revealed.
But there was nothing wrong with his excuse.
After all, the "books" that tell about this world are also considered books that I have read!
The reason for the warning is to prevent outsiders from being suspicious... It doesn't matter if the family knows it, but it would be bad if it provokes some cheaters.
Mu Yuyan's eyes flickered, and after a long time she finally resisted the thought of asking and nodded slightly.
When Liu Yexi saw the empress and didn't ask, she, the maid, could only lower her head and eat the food.
Instead, it was Old Yangtou who wiped his mouth and said angrily:
"Alas, the emperor is ungrateful, and the heavens are wrathful!"
"If you ask me, our current empress is just a bad hand at playing good cards. All the ministers in the court are capable ministers in governing the world, but she has such a foolish emperor who only wants to seek immortality and practice Taoism every day!"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Yexi was almost frightened by the chopsticks he just picked up next to him!
He quickly glanced at Mu Yuyan, only to see that she was still nibbling on the dishes, with a kind smile on her delicate face, and her expression didn't look strange at all.
It's just that the knuckles are gradually turning white...
"Ahem!"
Liu Yexi coughed and wanted to change the topic.
But at this time, Gu Lan patted Lao Yang on the shoulder: "Didn't I tell you not to drink fake wine? Lao Yang, what are you doing to slander His Majesty? It's okay to just talk about this superstition in our house. If it reaches the ears of the Empress, How many heads do you have enough to chop off?"
Mu Yuyan: "..."
Liu Yexi: "..."
"Just chop, I'm not afraid of that faint king!"
Old Yangtou came from a miserable background and had obviously long-standing grudges against the current dynasty. He used the wine to angrily say: "After the empress ascended the throne, she hid in the palace to practice Taoism and did not care about political affairs. This is something that we ordinary people know. How can it be considered slander?"
"If it weren't for the support of the team of ministers left by the late emperor, this world might not be what it is!"
After listening to what he said, Mu Yuyan's face looked a little ugly.
Although he knew that Lao Yangtou was just a low-level commoner, he didn't know the truth about the imperial court, let alone how much he had paid to continue the country's destiny.
But to bear such an infamy and be criticized by thousands of people, it is inevitable for anyone to feel aggrieved!
Liu Yexi looked at the empress distressedly, and gave Lao Yang a hard look with her backhand!
Old Yangtou didn't know why.
At this time.
Gu Lan suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence in the room: "Old Yangtou, the rumors in the market are not credible. In fact, the current empress is not what you think."
"If...Jiaqing is considered a foolish king, then I'm afraid there won't be many wise kings since the founding of Dajing."
After Gu Lan finished speaking, he slowly took a sip of tea.
Old Yangtou looked puzzled.
However, a pair of beautiful eyes next to him suddenly gained charm!
"Why did Gu Lang defend the empress?" Mu Yuyan pretended to be confused, but in fact the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and there was a hint of sweetness in her heart.
It is said that scholars like to criticize kings to gain fame, but Gu Lang is the only one who can stand out from the mud!
He is full of awe-inspiring righteousness and has no trace of the sourness of a scholar!
Fortunately, fortunately, the young master is different... Liu Yexi also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
However!
Gu Lan's next explanation made their smiles freeze!
"Natural and man-made disasters are not caused by the emperor's lack of virtue, but by the fact that Dajing's national destiny has gradually declined."
"The empress seems to ignore the government affairs, but in fact all the instructions are issued by her through the hands of some elders and princes, but everyone doesn't know it!"
"The empress practicing Taoism in the deep palace is just an illusion. Her real body is no longer in the palace...but she is looking for a way to save the country's fate outside!"
Gu Lan crossed his legs, smiled and finished speaking, then put the tea cup on the table.
The room suddenly fell silent!
Mu Yuyan was only slightly shocked when she heard that "the country's fortunes were in decline" from the beginning.
But when Gu Lan finally heard that the empress was no longer in the palace, she was completely confused!
Liu Yexi was even more stunned!
If it was a coincidence that Gu Lan knew about the severe drought in the southern border before, it was definitely not this time!
Because what Lao Jianzheng said about "the empress entering the mortal world" is known only to the empress herself and two personal female officials in the world!
None of the ministers in the DPRK knew anything about it!
It can be said that Dajing is now the number one secret in the world!
How did Gu Lang know? Can you read this thing by reading? !
No, he knew this. Did he actually know my identity for a long time, but he just didn't reveal it... Mu Yuyan became nervous and confused.
The more I looked at Gu Lan's handsome face at this moment, the more I felt that he already knew his own strengths and weaknesses, but I didn't know his strengths and weaknesses at all!
A long time passed.
Mu Yuyan tentatively spoke: "Gu Lang...then do you know where the empress went to find a way to save her?"
Gu Lan turned around and looked into her bright moon-like eyes.
Shaked his head.
"I don't know."
Gu Lan knew a lot about the characters in this world because it was mentioned in the beginning of the novel.
As for the later development of the empress' whereabouts...the eunuch article has not yet been written.
Phew~
Seeing his serious answer, Mu Yuyan gradually loosened her grip on her sleeves.
It turned out that he didn't know my identity yet and was scared to death...
Fortunately, His Majesty's identity has not been exposed, otherwise the six months of entering the human world would have been in vain... Liu Yexi followed and stroked his chest.
"Hehe, the story you tell is even better than the storyteller invited in the teahouse. What he tells is as if it is true, hehe..."
Old Yang looked back and smiled innocently.
Of course he didn't think it was true. How could his young master know so much!
Just think that the young master is making up stories to make his wife happy.
"Old Yang, you...well, go and light some charcoal fire and get some rest early." Gu Lan was speechless for a while and waved his hand, not intending to let this old cow listen to the music anymore.
After he leaves.
Mu Yuyan pondered for a moment, then asked curiously: "Gu Lang, you know so much about the imperial court, do you know how to save us in Dajing?"
"If Gu Lang is the emperor, what should we do next?"
She held her cheeks in her delicate hands and said this out of inner urgency, adding a bit of coquettishness.
On the surface, it seemed that he simply wanted to listen to Gu Lan tell a story.
In fact, there is a trace of cunning hidden in those bright eyes like peach blossom pools!
Who can resist the empress's beautiful face and charming voice?
Listen, it must be my wife, please support me more... Gu Lan felt happy and couldn't help but sigh at the beauty of another world!
What about supporting characters?
Instead of pretending to be in front of those big shots, it’s nice to pretend to be for your wife at home!
On the side, it was the first time Liu Yexi saw the empress acting coquettishly towards a man, her pupils were shaking!
Damn it, you want to show off your dog food in front of me... Is this still the empress who is so majestic and decisive in killing me?
If the children of the aristocratic families who admired Mu Yuyan saw this scene, their hearts would be broken into pieces!
Liu Yexi was lost in thought for a long time.
Over there, Gu Lan was already looking at the empress’s expectant eyes and spoke loudly: “Since the lady wants to hear it, let’s start with the severe drought in the south...”
