It wasn't until the voice of Holy Lord Blazing Sun came from the bronze coffin that had been silent for a long time in the system space that Gu Lan left the bedroom.
In the room, Mu Yuyan's beautiful eyes were moist, staring blankly at the night pearl.
a long time.
She sighed softly and murmured self-deprecatingly: "Jiaqing, Jiaqing, you are really useless... The country can't be managed well, the people can't protect it, and even if Gu Lang notices it and comes to coax you, ha... ..”
The empress felt sad.
A clear girl's voice suddenly sounded in my ears!
"Master, are you worried too?"
Mu Yuyan was in a state of distress when she was startled by the voice and frowned: "Who?"
The night pearl shone brightly, and the voice continued: "I am Zhu Ling."
"I am the only night pearl that has been enlightened in the East China Sea for thousands of years. It is also called the Worry-Relief Pearl. Girl, you are my master now. If there is anything disturbing, you can think about it in your heart and I will try my best to help the master solve it. !”
Zhu Ling's tone was sincere.
Mu Yuyan was stunned for a moment, but when she heard about Annoyance, she subconsciously thought of the murder case in the Sun Mansion.
"Master, wait a moment, Zhu Ling has sensed it and is calculating for you..."
The night pearl is crystal clear.
A picture gradually emerged on the bead. It was a dark and messy alley, with a man in utter embarrassment hiding behind the debris. He looked nervous and looked in the direction outside the alley from time to time. There were many flying fish suits walking back and forth on the long street. patrol and search!
"This is...the inner disciple who escaped from the Sun Mansion?!"
Mu Yuyan's delicate body suddenly froze, her eyes narrowed, and her expression changed from doubtful to shocked and passionate!
...
"Han Yi, that is the Millennium Night Pearl that you begged for from the ancestral temple. It was enlightened by the previous generation Tianji Pavilion Master. In terms of value, it is not even inferior to the Holy Dragon Bell... Are you so willing to give it to Mr. Gu?"
On the way, Long Jun asked with a smile.
Although the spiritual ring he gave away was very precious, the night pearl that his granddaughter kept warmly already had spirituality and was even more valuable!
Ao Hanyi pursed his lips and smiled, and asked: "Grandpa, no matter how precious the night pearl is, is it important to have news about my aunt?"
After hearing this, Long Jun nodded: "That's true... But, Hanyi, what do you think of Mr. Gu?"
"Very powerful ah!"
"Grandpa is not asking about this. Grandpa wants to say... you have reached the age to talk about marriage, well, ahem..."
"Grandpa, Mr. Gu has a wife."
Ao Hanyi frowned and said seriously: "He is very strong... He is obviously only a few dozen years old in bone age, but his cultivation and character are far above that of his granddaughter. She only has respect for him!"
Long Yan was stunned for a moment. He knew that his granddaughter was outspoken and would never lie... but when he heard this, he felt a little regretful!
"Oh, Grandpa understands... Then Hanyi, since you respect this Mr. Gu, you should learn more from him in the future. The Dragon Clan has Mr. Gu as a friend. After your cultivation reaches the immortal level, Then you can slowly take over the affairs of the East China Sea."
Ao Hanyi was silent for a while and said firmly: "Grandpa, Aunt Qin is the next generation queen of the East China Sea. We will find her back this time!"
"hope so..."
Long Yan seemed to be remembering something from the past, with worried eyes: "I hope that what is under the Immortal Cliff is not what I imagined..."
"What is grandpa worried about?"
"Hanyi, do you still remember that forbidden place in the East China Sea, Jiyoushuiyuan? It's time to tell you some of the secrets there..."
...
Gu Mansion, study room.
"You woke up so quickly?"
Gu Lan took out the ancient bronze coffin and was slightly surprised.
When Holy Lord Chiyang merged with the demon, he used the Holy Dragon Bell to give him electric shock therapy every now and then. Logically speaking, it would not be difficult for him to recover even after hundreds of years.
"No... the new spiritual ring you got contains a spiritual crystal source that will help me recover from my injuries. Can you lend it to me?"
The voice of the Holy Lord Blazing Sun was still a little weak.
It seems that it is not fully nourished.
"Tsk! Holy Lord, what are we talking about borrowing from each other? I'll give it to you directly!" Gu Lan smiled and took out what he wanted directly from the spiritual ring and put it into the ancient coffin.
Anyway, he is the owner of the ancient coffin. The Holy Lord has been in the secret realm for four thousand years and has already become the weapon spirit in it. Helping him is helping himself!
He is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. If he regains consciousness earlier, Gu Lan will be able to unravel more mysteries about the legends of the Six Realms and learn more about unknown dangers!
Chiyang Shengjun knew the reason why Gu Lan was so selfless, but he had no complaints about it. After thanking him in a low voice, he absorbed the spiritual crystal source and fell asleep again.
Gu Lan also found some spiritual treasures that would help improve his cultivation, and was about to take them out and start absorbing them.
At this time.
The aroma of lotus seed porridge floated into the nose with the refreshing fragrance. The corners of Gu Lan's mouth turned up slightly... The lady is here!
"My husband, you just entered the palace today, so don't study so hard tonight... Let's rest early."
Mu Yuyan said softly, carrying the warm porridge to Gu Lan's side. After gently putting it down, she kneaded Gu Lan's shoulders with her little hands.
After she had just learned about the movements of the king-level thief from Ye Mingzhu, she had already asked the secret guards of Xuantiansi to keep a close eye on him, just waiting to catch the turtle in the urn!
The tight strings in my heart finally relaxed a little!
"Do you like that luminous pearl, madam?"
Gu Lan held the catkins with his backhand.
"My husband gave it to me, how could I not like it?" Mu Yuyan smiled and answered seriously.
The thing given is not important, the important thing is the person giving it... What's more, the little beads Gu Lan gave him this time helped him a lot as soon as they met. It was a timely gift!
As long as the fleeing thief is caught and interrogated, and the news about the forces behind the scenes is obtained, not only can the public's resentment be diverted away from the court, but she will also have someone to avenge those girls who died tragically. Then she can send troops to conquer and avenge her in one fell swoop! !
The pressure of public opinion in Dajing has been reduced a lot!
Not only does the empress no longer need to be accused of committing crimes, she can also release the accumulated hatred in her chest and regain confidence in Dajing's future!
And all this.
They were all given by Gu Lan.
...
In a trance.
But she saw Gu Lan put his ear to her belly, looking like he was listening carefully to the fetal movement.
"Ms. sir, I'm only one month pregnant. What can you tell?" Mu Yuyan's actions made her face flush, and she scolded helplessly.
However, her body was very calm and she allowed him to hold her waist without resisting at all.
"No, no! There are already fluctuations of spiritual energy in my mother's belly!"
After Gu Lan felt it for a moment, he shook his head, with a look of surprise in his eyes!
The holy Hunyuan Fruit is really very effective, and the benefits it brings to shaping the root bones of the spiritual fetus in the belly are self-evident!
It is estimated that when Xiao Gu was born, his cultivation and qualifications would be able to crush many old monsters who have practiced for many years, making him an absolute monstrous genius!
Mu Yuyan was stunned after hearing this!
She endured it for a long time before giving up the idea of using internal vision immediately!
But for the child, her inner excitement and joy were no weaker than Gu Lan's!
"Really, really?"
"Of course, my husband has never lied to you!"
"Then my husband, please drink your porridge, it's almost cold..."
Mu Yuyan bit her lip and moved away the big stone that was pressing on her heart. With such good news, she was so happy that she felt at a loss for words!
"It's better to treat my wife to some porridge. Now that I'm pregnant, I need to keep up with my nutrition!" Gu Lan smiled and hugged her suddenly.
The empress's cooing call.
The candle in the study went out.
...
The next day, early morning.
After receiving the news from the secret guard, Liu Yexi was finally no longer a headless fly. He laid a dragnet outside the dark alley where the escaping thief was hiding, and caught him in one fell swoop!
After entering the Xuantiansi dungeon.
Liu Yexi stayed up all night and looked back at the house with two big dark circles under her eyes.
but!
Although her mental state was not good, she was extremely excited!
After catching this guy, the imperial court will give an explanation to the people of the world. At least His Majesty's edict of culpability will no longer need to be issued!
In fact, this itself is not the Empress’ fault!
Just being in my position and having to bear this responsibility is very frustrating in itself...
now!
Liu Yexi was very excited. She thought that finding a way to break the situation so quickly was probably due to the young master, right?
Otherwise, she really can't think of anyone in the world who has such ability!
Xiao Zhongren?
I'm afraid that the skill is not up to the mark, and His Majesty's identity has not been revealed, Tianji Pavilion will not help Dajing for no reason.
Back at the house, Liu Yexi went straight to see the empress.
"Your Majesty, the person has been detained in the dungeon. Are you going to directly interrogate him with severe punishment?"
Since he is a person who fled, he must have a strong desire to survive, otherwise he would have fought to the death with the people of Xuantiansi on the day of the incident!
This thief is not a dead soldier.
As long as he is not a dead soldier, there is no mouth that Xuan Tiansi cannot pry open if the time is long enough. Liu Yexi has been in charge for many years, so he still has this confidence!
When Mu Yuyan heard this, she shook her head: "No, this person has one last value before he dies... He will accompany me back to the palace later to draw up a decree and let Gu Lang interrogate him. .”
"Um?"
Liu Yexi was stunned for a moment.
But I immediately understood what the empress meant!
Since it is a great achievement that can be obtained, of course it must be left to the young master!
What's more, this matter is all dependent on the young master!
And this way.
This is equivalent to the fact that the empress has given more attention to the scholar, so that Gu Lan can make meritorious service more quickly, become the master of Dajing Imperial City, and become a highly respected minister!
"Okay! I will draft the decree when I return to the palace."
Liu Yexi nodded, clasped his fists and said, "In addition, I have to mention the people in Xuantiansi so that they can fully cooperate with the Young Master's interrogation."
"Um."
Mu Yuyan nodded slightly and said, "I also want to go back and take a look at the memorial that Gu Lang reviewed yesterday..."
"Young Master's impression of His Majesty has not changed yet. Those memorials...maybe they don't have many pertinent opinions, right?"
Liu Yexi raised her eyebrows and reminded.
"I know."
Mu Yuyan smiled calmly, everything was under control: "But it doesn't matter. All I want is a reason. It doesn't matter what he writes. If he writes well, he can directly reward Gu Lang for his merits and increase his salary. Officials are promoted to nobles; if the writing is not good, then I can also use the trick..."
The empress had already planned the memorial!
Firstly, to introduce Gu Lan to the imperial city and get familiar with the affairs of the officials, and secondly, to set the stage for the next search for him... As for the content, handing in a blank paper can be used as a solution. How can Mu Yuyan pay more attention to the content this time? ?
The method Su Hua has already taught.
With her intelligence, practice makes perfect after just one use!
Your Majesty, this is a series of steps. The young master has been "laid" for the rest of his life. It's so miserable... Liu Yexi looked at the empress with admiration, looking at the deep-tempered empress.
The eyes are saying that you did a great job!
For the alluring empress to work so hard on her, any man would be happy to die!
Stop talking about men! This kind of treatment of being taken care of by the empress for a lifetime is something that even a female official would envy!
...
Half an hour later, the imperial city!
Mu Yuyan returned to Yangxin Palace in casual clothes. The eunuchs and maids were very familiar with her and immediately knelt down to greet her.
There was also a general in armor standing in front of the palace steps.
Seeing the empress coming, she just bent down.
"Your Majesty, I am here to report on my duties today."
"Commander Luo?"
Mu Yuyan glanced at him with her phoenix eyes, and asked in a puzzled tone: "Is it the day of debriefing so soon?"
"Well, I have a rest today, so I might as well go earlier!"
Luo Chen smiled, with a glint in his eyes as he cupped his hands.
At this time, on the dragon table in the Yangxin Hall was the memorial that Gu Lan scribbled in the pavilion yesterday.
He was severely beaten yesterday!
So today, in the name of reporting on my duties, I want to see with my own eyes how that pretty boy displeased His Majesty Long Yan and fell out of favor because of his bold behavior!
"Well, come in with me."
Mu Yuyan said lightly.
It can be said that she didn't have much impression of the commander of the imperial army. His attitude was good or bad... The Sword Immortal also needed imperial guards, which was just a formality in itself.
When Mu Yuyan left the palace.
This guy isn't here yet.
He should have been promoted from below during his one year in Langzhou...
"You have a good relationship with the concubine?"
Mu Yu Yanlian moved lightly and sat behind the dragon table. She took a sip of the freshly brewed Biluochun and looked at the commander of the imperial army below with her beautiful eyes.
"Uh... I dare not hide it from Your Majesty, I am the concubine's distant nephew!"
Luo Chen was a little surprised when the empress thought so quickly that he had gained someone's influence to climb to the position of commander. However, there were traces of such things, so there was no point in denying or lying.
Mu Yuyan nodded slightly.
Don't care anymore.
There are many people who rely on connections to become officials. As long as they have the ability, she doesn't mind giving the concubine this face... Mu Yuyan said in a cold voice: "Don't you want to report on your work? You can start."
Luo Chen was stunned for a moment, thinking, shouldn't you read the pretty boy's memorial first?
However, he did not dare to disobey the empress, so he resigned from his duties that he had written in advance.
"Commander Luo is working hard. He can defend the imperial city and has a bright future."
Mu Yuyan said casually, picked up Gu Lan's memorial in her jade hand, and began to read through it.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. I will do my best to serve Your Majesty. I will treat the Imperial City as my home and guard it day and night..."
Luo Chen shouted happily!
With the Dowager Empress as the backstage, the empress has no ill feelings toward her, so she should be able to hold her position as the commander of the imperial army for a long time!
But at this moment, what made Luo Chen even more happy was that while the empress was reading Gu Lan's memorial, her eyebrows were gradually frowning!
hehe! Pretty boy, you're about to finish playing!
Luo Chen was excited, thinking that Gu Lan was about to offend His Majesty, he was even happier than himself being promoted and getting rich. He secretly watched the changes in the empress' expression!
However!
He waited and waited, waited and waited...but he never saw the scene of the empress rising up and angry, and the doubts in his heart began to amplify!
suddenly.
Mu Yuyan covered her mouth and chuckled. Not only was there no embarrassment in her expression, but there was a kind of girlish shyness in her eyes!
The harder Gu Lan rejects the "Empress", the more he prefers her!
Habitually thinking in terms of Mrs. Gu Lan's identity, Mu Yuyan naturally felt sweeter than angry!
See this scene.
Luo Chen was stunned!
The corner of his mouth twitched, and he glanced at the Dragon Case with some disbelief, not sure whether it was really the memorial written by Gu Lan blindly.
After hesitating for a long time, Luo Chen frowned and finally took a step forward and spoke to remind the empress!
"Your Majesty, the scholar who came to Baihuayuan yesterday was correcting the official memorials at will. He refused to listen to my admonition. He is really arrogant and does not take your Majesty seriously... Your Majesty must punish him severely and let these things go." A sour scholar without a king will lose his memory!"
