[Luck: Unknown]
[Fate: Unknown]
Gu Lan:? ? ?
The clear light in her eyes flashed away, but was not caught by the empress.
Gu Lan was extremely confused in his heart!
Could it be that my Qi-gazing technique has been useless for too long and something went wrong?
Gu Lan quickly walked into the room, looking at his handsome face in the bronze mirror, his eyes became clear again!
[Luck: Purple]
[Destiny: Change destiny against the will of heaven, gain the destiny's daughter as a servant, master the mysterious bronze coffin, destroy the devil, become an emperor...]
Isn't that no problem?
After Gu Lan was stunned for a moment, he continued to ponder, and his eyes in the bronze mirror gradually lost focus.
His expression paused, his throat rolled, and his face showed a look of shock and surprise!
"There is a secret in my wife... I can't even pry it out, can I block the secret!?"
Gu Lan realized the seriousness of the matter and looked surprised!
I am already at the late stage of the Imperial Realm, and can tear apart space with just a snap of my fingers. If I were not limited by the fate of heaven, I could definitely become a native of this continent!
The lady is a mortal...but I can't see through her. How is this possible? !
Originally I just wanted to confirm.
Gu Lan sensed that the magic talisman was still there and that the lady's condition was normal. Gu Lan felt relieved... However, unexpectedly, he discovered the secret of the lady!
This surprised him!
after all!
Who, who usually has nothing to do, would treat a well-informed lady with the same tactics as an enemy?
This wave of truth is truly unexpected!
at this time.
Mu Yuyan walked slowly from behind. Seeing Gu Lan's strange behavior, she thought she had encountered something in Xuantiansi, and asked with concern: "Mr. sir, is it not going well in interrogating the criminal?"
It’s okay if things don’t go well.
Anyway, as long as she used torture, or at least took a little more time, she could always pry open the prisoner's mouth. She never thought that she would get the news so quickly.
After all, Gu Lan was just asked to receive the merit!
Listening to the lady's gentle words.
Gu Lan's heart was in turmoil, and he opened his mouth, but said: "No... things went smoothly. I just felt a little pity for those girls for such an unfortunate experience."
Mu Yuyan was silent after hearing this, and stopped talking.
"This matter is indeed a matter of the imperial court... However, I believe that Her Majesty, the Empress, will uproot them after learning about the forces behind this matter, and the funeral affairs of those girls will also be properly handled. ..”
In front of all the people, Mu Yuyan could bow her head and confess her guilt.
You can even issue an edict to sin against yourself!
But Gu Lan can only try not to mention it here, and talk more about remedies... He already has a bad impression of himself, but he can't have a bad feeling anymore!
Mu Yuyan raised her beautiful eyes slightly and pinched her sleeves nervously.
At this time, Liu Yexi walked out of the house with a happy face. She was about to report Gu Lan's actions to the empress, but she heard these words!
He looked startled.
It was not the empress' fault in the first place, but she had to try her best to explain herself as tactfully as possible... She couldn't help but feel aggrieved and sad for Mu Yuyan!
unexpectedly!
Gu Lan smiled gently and said again:
"Funeral affairs? Madam, you must have heard what you heard. Those girls are not dead. After the interrogation today, they all were rescued."
He still planned to put aside the matter of his wife's secret first.
after all.
There is no doubt that the lady is sincere to him, she is pregnant with her baby, both physically and mentally... But once she asks rashly, if it is something unspeakable about her life experience, it will inevitably cause harm to her.
"Let's take a closer look and see what secrets the lady has... If we can't find out before the stone formation is repaired, we should ask Master Yunlong before going to Mobei..."
Gu Lan took a deep breath and let the matter sink into his heart.
And on the opposite side!
When Mu Yuyan heard this, her beautiful eyes suddenly trembled: "They were saved?! All of them... were saved? When did it happen?!"
"Really! Madam, there are rumors outside that our young master Gu Lan has saved more than 20 girls. He is a man of immeasurable merit!"
Liu Yexi smiled at this time, deliberately emphasizing the word "adult" and reminded her.
After hearing this, Gu Lan was stunned!
"What the hell? Who told me my name?!"
"I don't know. It's been spreading outside anyway, but it hasn't reached our Dongzhi Street yet. Sooner or later..."
Liu Yexi looked innocent.
Gu Lan: "..."
Oh, you thick-browed Wei Zhi, I saved your life once, and this is how you repay me?
Damn!
However, Gu Lan knew that Wei Zhi also had good intentions, so he said nothing more and could only silently accept that this matter was irreversible.
After hearing Xiao Xi's affirmation, Mu Yuyan couldn't hide the joy in her eyebrows, and her delicate body trembled with excitement!
Her beautiful eyes were like water, staring at Gu Lan's face.
If it weren't for the fear of being exposed, I would really want to go up and take a bite. This man is so skillful and always brings great surprises to himself...
In the Queen's expectation.
Even if the interrogation revealed the news, so many young girls had already been killed, so she still had to be punished!
There will definitely be a stain on Jiaqing in the history books.
But now, the situation is very different!
If people are still alive and reunited with their families, then as long as they try their best to compensate them for the rest of their lives, the extremely cruel method of sinner edict can be avoided!
Naturally, there will be no decline in the national destiny!
This is not a reward to my husband, this is my husband saving my life... Mu Yuyan sighed inwardly, she owed Gu Lan more and more, and she didn't know how to repay it.
Give birth to one? two? Or three or five? ?
I had talked about this matter with Concubine Xiao before. Before the empress left the palace, she laughed and scolded her a few times and then revealed it.
She never thought that one day she would have to consider this issue!
Mu Yuyan was thinking wildly, her pretty face was slightly hot, and her earlobes were shiny and pink.
at this time.
Lao Yang walked into the house with the cooked dishes and said cheerfully as usual: "Madam and Master are still talking about things. Let's eat first. Only when you are full can you have the strength to do things."
work......
When this word fell into Mu Yuyan's ears, it became a little abnormal!
No, no!
You have to divert your attention quickly!
Mu Yuyan shook her head, gently held her rosy cheeks with her jade hands, and asked softly: "My husband has done such a good job. Is he going to the palace to report on his duties?"
"Well, I'll go tomorrow morning."
Gu Lan glanced at her and said thoughtfully.
Mu Yuyan raised the corners of her lips imperceptibly: "Then Her Majesty the Empress must reward your husband well, otherwise how can you be worthy of such outstanding achievements?"
Um! Let’s set the stage first so that he won’t become suspicious if the reward given tomorrow is too heavy!
Mu Yuyan is one of the witty ones!
"Rewards don't matter, our family doesn't lack anything, as long as it's over soon and we can go home to be with my wife."
Gu Lan smiled slightly.
"Having said that."
Mu Yuyan shook her head and retorted: "But if we don't give a heavy reward, I'm afraid it will cause resentment among the people, especially the families of these girls who were saved and reunited."
"Then what kind of reward is valuable?"
"Female title?"
Liu Yexi probed, pretending not to understand.
Mu Yuyan glanced at her appreciatively.
"Marquis? Why didn't you say that if the empress wants to marry me, it will be a reward?" Gu Lan thought it was a bit ridiculous and shook his head jokingly.
"That won't work!" Mu Yuyan said subconsciously, and her pretty face was startled after speaking.
A strange, sour and tingling feeling arises from the bottom of my heart for no reason!
After she came back to her senses, she suddenly became even more confused... What's going on, am I actually jealous of myself? !
what happened!
Could it be that the husband said it himself?
Liu Yexi looked at the empress with admiration on her face and said to herself, "Damn, your majesty is so good at acting. Isn't it more that you are so into the drama that you don't even know what your identity is?"
Hearing her answer, Gu Lan chuckled and touched his head: "You're kidding, I've never even met the empress. How can she, a ninety-five-year-old woman, look down on common people?"
Hear the words.
Mu Yuyan felt like she was stupid just now. It took a lot of effort to make him realize that he was "incorporated into the harem", but why did he end it because of his jealousy?
Being favored by the empress, isn't this the goal of her own "evil" plan?
With complicated eyes, Mu Yuyan gave Gu Lan a piece of lotus root, pursed her lips and said hesitantly: "Actually, if Your Majesty really likes your husband...it is not impossible for me to be a concubine."
As soon as these words came out!
Snap! !
Everyone was shocked!
Lao Yangtou's chopsticks fell directly to the ground. He quickly bent down to pick them up, pretending not to hear anything!
Xiao Qi and Zhong Ren were immersed in eating their rice, and they remained aloof from the incident.
After Liu Yexi was stunned for a moment, she winked at the empress.
And Gu Lan!
He looked at the lady's shy and pretty face in shock for a moment, and then, a look of doubt flashed in his eyes...
Mu Yuyan saw the look in the maid's eyes and knew that she had said the wrong thing again!
Different from the calmness of the past, I have said two wrong sentences in succession tonight!
Danger! !
Sure enough, one will be wise in front of the one he loves. What the storybook says is correct... Mu Yuyan was nervous inside, but she had never seen such big storms as the empress of her generation, so she immediately quibbled in a clear voice:
"I feel that the empress is a wise king... If my husband can enter the palace, how can I delay my future because of my body?"
Gu Lan looked at her for a long time and then said with a gentle smile: "Madam, you are too worried. We are married as husband and wife. We wish to be like winged birds in heaven, and we will be like twigs on earth. No one will interfere!"
The lady's secret is related to Dajing Palace... Gu Lan nodded slightly and had already reached a preliminary conclusion!
Could it be related to the aunt in the palace?
Well, I will stay in the Imperial City for a while tomorrow and see if I can find the answer...
After hearing Gu Lan's words, Mu Yuyan's stimulating heartbeat finally fell silent in her full chest.
Scared to death!
She is not yet ready to face her husband as an empress!
No!
You can't be so reserved in the future. Even if you want to help your husband "defeat" the empress, you have to be tactful!
Mu Yuyan's delicate and pretty face turned red, and she took small bites of food elegantly and reservedly.
...
That night!
General Wuwei's Mansion!
Wu Fan, who had been silent for a long time, has recently begun to pay attention to the happenings in the capital, because he had been following the servants of the Sun Mansion, and his report today was fruitful!
"Shilang Sun is actually a rebel? Hehe, anyone can be accused of being a rebel these days! He will confiscate his family and destroy his clan at every turn. The tyrant will die sooner or later!"
Wu Fan cursed guiltily.
Although he was not killed by the empress, he died because of Dayu's plan to take revenge on Dajing!
He hates both sides now!
The confidant next to him quickly echoed him: "Yes, General, your Majesty is unscrupulous and evil, and we have to find a way to clear him up!"
treacherous? Wu Fan glanced at him and felt that he was talking about himself.
"Ahem, Qing Jun also depends on his strength. Our current strength is too weak. Tell us about the news about Mr. Sun!"
"Yes!" The confidant told everything he found out at the door of Xuantiansi.
After listening to this, Wu Fan's eyes suddenly lit up!
A look of shock and joy!
"You said that Mr. Sun is cultivating the power of harvesting and tonic, which is enough to reach the imperial realm? Or is he from Mobei?!"
"Yeah, what's wrong General?"
The confidant looked confused.
"Haha! God will forget this empress, God will destroy her!" Wu Fan laughed heartily, turned around quickly, took out a map from the bookcase, and spread it out on the table!
"The land of Mobei is full of demons and evils!"
"In the records of ancient history, there was a huge sect here called Huanxi Immortal Palace, but it has been gradually forgotten by people for a long time!"
"Ah! So, Shilang Sun is actually from this large sect!" The confidant suddenly realized.
Wu Fan curled his lips and said, "I think there's more! People with Imperial Realm cultivation are definitely considered to be the backbone of the force on this continent!"
"And if he dies, the big forces behind him will never give up. Even if they just want to regain face, they will come to the empress to hold him accountable!"
The confidant understood and said with a sly smile: "But if the empress wants to convince the public, she must not bow to this evil cultivator. There will definitely be a conflict between the two parties!"
"That's right!!"
Wu Fan's eyes flashed, and his face was full of pride: "Happy Immortal Palace has been standing for many years, and its heritage is no worse than that of the four great dynasties! When the time comes, we only need to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and maybe we can embrace this There’s a thigh!”
Dayu was withered, and he had long wanted to find a new backer.
"The general is wise!"
The confidant cupped his hands, and while flattering, he remembered something, and then said: "By the way, General, I also found out a piece of news today about a young scholar, which seems to be related to the empress."
"Scholar?"
Wu Fan's eyes showed disdain: "Bai Wuyi is a scholar. You don't need to pay attention to such people in the future..."
"But he entered the palace and became an imperial envoy!"
"Um, tell me!"
Wu Fan frowned and listened to his confidant whisper about Gu Lan.
"It's difficult to handle without an address...but it seems that this is the first time that the empress is so fond of a young man!"
Wu Fan thought of the rumors circulating in the market some time ago.
The empress once broke into the Tianshan Mountains because of a man... Is it true?
"Pay more attention to the news about this scholar. Maybe he will be of great use in the future!" Wu Fan narrowed his eyes with murderous intent!
Since the empress can't be embarrassed.
Then it's okay to embarrass the people she might care about, right?
snort! If something comes to light one day, maybe we can use this white-faced scholar as a bargaining chip to escape!
...
The next day, early morning!
Gu Lan no longer wore such exaggerated attire, but wore simple Tsing Yi as usual, and walked into the Dajing Imperial City again.
At the palace gate, I met an acquaintance.
"Eunuch Mao?"
Gu Lan greeted him with a puzzled expression: "Why are you here, knowing that I will come today?"
"No, no! We happened to come out after dinner, and we met the young master!" Eunuch Mao said with a smile, "How about this old slave leading the way for the young master?"
"OK!"
Gu Lan nodded.
Eunuch Mao looked delighted and led Gu Lan neatly to the palace.
The last time he spoke for Gu Lan, the empress returned to the palace and learned about it, and directly rewarded him with a hundred taels of gold and a pair of cloud boots that are rare for eunuchs. This is a great honor!
Eunuch Mao knew that Gu Lan was a noble person... Well, at least he was a noble person. He might not have the qualifications to succeed, so of course he would be careful!
The two of them still passed through the Zhengyang Gate first, and then entered the colorful harem of the empress.
"Hey, why is Commander Luo missing today?"
Gu Lan felt puzzled when he saw that the leader of the Forbidden Army had changed and nodded to him from a distance as a sign of goodwill.
Eunuch Mao smiled: "It's because of the young master!"
Gu Lan was stunned for a moment: "Because of me?"
"Of course! He was rude to the young master that day. When His Majesty found out, he fined him fifty imperial rods and drove him out of the palace. At least he couldn't get out of bed for more than half a year!"
Eunuch Mao snorted coldly, feeling that he had missed a sentence, and quickly added with a smile: "By the way, sir, that slap with the imperial rod... is exactly the punishment in our prison!"
