Chapter 0233: Expediency

Three days later, on the second day of the funeral of the old emperor of Gongxi, Gongxi Ziyu relied on a testament from his father and the emperor to ascend the throne smoothly as the prince of a country without hindrance.

The first decree promulgated after his accession to the throne was to give the Xiling Mountains and the three neighboring counties to the Baili Kingdom, nominally to conclude a friendship for generations.

But secretly, everyone knows that the Xiling Mountain Range is a scar in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor, and it is also an old account owed to Baili Country because of this.

Even if everyone knew what was going on, no official dared to mention it in the court, because everyone witnessed what happened to the second prince and his mother before the emperor ascended the throne, so they also learned the cruelty and unsympathy of the new emperor.

After another two days, under the consultation of several divine beasts such as Gu Youlan and Yan, Dongfang Luo and his wife, Baili Youyue sat on the throne of the queen of Gongxi Kingdom in one fell swoop.

In this way, Gongxi Kingdom is still a vassal state of Xia Yang State on the surface, but in private it has been firmly tied to Baili Kingdom.

At this moment, Gu Youlan, who has moved to the envoy post station of Gongxi Kingdom, is repairing the book to the fourth brother Baili, and the content of the book is nothing more than reporting the recent situation of Gongxi Kingdom one by one, as well as the final choice of Baili Youyue as the queen of Gongxi.

One side is a beautiful summer, and two wisps of cigarettes are ringing.

Yan leaned on the door frame, looking at Gu Youlan picking up a pen on the table in front of the window, the sunlight shadowed through the cracks in the dense bamboo outside the window, and the smoke in the incense burner was mist, and the pretty shadow of the woman was outlined in the hazy clouds, just like the Nine Heavens Fairy appeared, with a magnificent posture, elegant and holy.

"May time stand still forever in this quiet year, may there be no war in the world, and there will be no separation of life and death!" Yan looked at Gu Youlan while secretly pondering in his heart.

After a while, Gu Youlan, who had written the letter, put the letterhead to her mouth, gently dried the ink on the paper, and saw Yan at the door in the afterglow.

Today's Yan seems to be different from the past, changing into an unadorned white robe, and the white hair of the frost and snow is loosely tied behind the back of his head, reflecting a touch of white under his long neck, but it looks more lazy and more flavorful.

"Yan, when did you come over?" Gu Youlan folded the letterhead into the shape of a thousand paper cranes, and asked while playing with it in her hand.

Yan, who was meditating, was a little stunned: "Uh, Ben, I've been here for a while." Yan wanted to call himself the deity, but suddenly felt that he was calling himself the deity in front of the girl, which seemed to be a bit of a showmanship, and it was also a little rusty.

Gu Youlan raised her eyebrows and smiled, like a gorgeous orchid: "Hehe, Yan, you look good in a white robe!" ”

"Oh?" The corners of Yan's mouth hooked slightly, and in an instant, it became an evil smell: "The girl likes me to wear white?" Or do you just like me? ”

As soon as Gu Youlan heard this, Allure's pretty face suddenly turned red, like a camellia blooming outside the window, and it became more and more violet: "Master, how old are you, you are always so out of tune!" ”

Pursing his lips, Yan indifferent shrugged his shoulders, walked slowly to Gu Youlan's approach, took the letterhead folded into thousands of paper cranes in his hand and looked at it: "Who is this letter for?" ”

Gu Youlan stretched out her arms and stretched, "It's a letter to the fourth brother, and I will let Hei Yu send it over!" ”

Hearing this, Yan couldn't help frowning: "What? Are you still planning to stay in Gongxi Country and not return to Baili Country immediately? ”

Standing up, Gu Youlan looked at the camellia blooming in the garden outside the window, and said softly: "The flowers are a little red, reflecting the water lotus and showing turbidity...... Yan, you say, is it wrong to put Baili Youyue on the throne of Empress Gongxi? ”

Hearing this, Yan walked up to Gu Youlan and stood side by side with her: "Girl, if it's not a hundred miles of moon or a hundred miles of Xiangxue, do you have a better choice?" ”

"yes!" Gu Youlan thought that it was only more than half a month to send Baili Youyue to Empress Dowager Mi's side, I don't know if she really changed from her heart, although she repeatedly told herself that she would take care of her mother clan and contribute her life to Baili Country, but with her previous scheming and style, everything is still difficult to judge.

With a long sigh to herself, Gu Youlan continued: "Actually, the queen of Gongxi Kingdom, I prefer the fourth emperor sister, but the fourth sister has already made a contract with me, and she has repeatedly told me that she only has Xiaofei in her heart, and she will not marry Xiaofei in this life, and I have not terminated the contract between Baili Xiangxue and Ghost Liu, so I can only choose Baili Youyue!" ”

Turning her head sideways, her purple eyes narrowed slightly, and Yan patted Gu Youlan's shoulder: "Girl, you shouldn't think too much, it's just an expedient measure to push Baili Youyue to the throne of Empress Gongxi, if she doesn't know how to advance and retreat, and doesn't know how to be grateful, you can set her up or abolish her, aren't these all in your control?" ”

Gu Youlan pondered for a moment, then turned his head to look at Yan, what came out of his purple eyes was full trust and ambition, he let out a breath of turbidity, and nodded heavily.

"Yan, you're right, if Baili Youyue doesn't understand things and continues to do her own thing, I will abolish her again, and I will really send her to the temple to become a monk, and always accompany the ancient Buddha!"

Hearing this, Yan nodded and said loudly: "Then are we going to the Xiling Mountains next?" So the spectacular mountains and beautiful stacked greens are still waiting for you to settle! ”

My heart was instantly happy, thinking of the lonely peaks of the Witch Mountain, as well as the lush mountains and strange rocks, Gu Youlan immediately had the urge to leave the Gongxi Kingdom immediately.

"Yes, the affairs of Gongxi have been arranged, and then it's time to go to the Xiling Mountains, and the site selection of the Danyimen should also be settled immediately, after the end of the 20-year National Power Competition, it will be the 30-year Zongmen Competition, I hope that before the Zongmen Competition, let the Danyimen return to the eyes of the world, and witness its glory with my own eyes!"

Speaking of this, Gu Youlan let out a long breath of turbid breath and summoned Black Feather over in the spiritual space.

After a while, Black Feather, who was still dressed in a black feather coat all the year round, knocked on the door and walked in: "Master, is there something that needs to be done?" ”

Gu Youlan turned around, handed the Thousand Paper Crane letterhead into Hei Yu's hand, and then said, "Hei Yu, you send this letter to the fourth brother, and tell him that I will keep it for later use if you secretly cultivate some young women of the royal family!" ”

Black Feather immediately got down on one knee to receive the command, and then transformed into a small black bird the size of a pigeon, spread its wings and flew out of the window.

Hearing Gu Youlan's words to Hei Yu just now, Yan felt a trace of uncertainty in his heart, and immediately asked in a low voice: "Girl, what are you asking Baili to secretly cultivate a young woman from the royal family?" ”

Gu Youlan frowned and smiled silently: "Yan, why do you also have a time for chaotic thinking?" ”

"Thinking in chaos?" Hearing the meaning of Gu Youlan's words, Yan frowned into the word "Chuan": "Girl, your thinking has jumped out of the Three Realms and is not in the Five Elements!" Could it be that as your teacher, I can't be confused for a while? ”

"Hehe......" Gu Youlan covered her mouth and smiled, raised her eyebrows and said softly: "Master, do you also feel that you are old?" ”

"Okay, don't make fun of Shizun playing dumb riddles again, hurry up and say, what do you think?" Yan pretended to be angry and gently scolded Gu Youlan.

"Yan, I always have a trace of uneasiness in my heart, when I wrote to the fourth brother just now, I kept thinking, is it wrong to push Baili Youyue to the throne of Empress Gongxi?"

"So, you are planning ahead, and you want your fourth brother to secretly find some young women from the royal family, and you are ready for emergencies?" Yan broke through the meaning of Gu Youlan's words.

"Well, that's what I thought!"

As soon as Gu Youlan's words fell, she saw a black shadow flash at the door, and Bai Yu rushed in with a brisk step.

"Master, Lord Yan, something happened!"

With a "pop" in my heart, I can come whatever I want!

Gu Youlan immediately glanced at Yan, and then asked Bai Yu: "Is there something wrong with Baili Youyue?" ”

Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he continued with his hand: "Master, after Baili Youyue was named queen yesterday, he scolded the two concubines of Gongxi Ziyu this morning, one was killed on the spot, and the other was also crippled with a pair of legs!" ”

"What?" Hearing this, Gu Youlan was immediately dizzy, and the feeling of uneasiness in her heart became heavier and heavier: "Why did she scold those two concubines?" ”

Bai Yu wiped the sweat on his head and continued: "Last night, Baili Youyue and Gongxi Ziyu got married, but on the night of the wedding, Gongxi Ziyu did not spend the night in the newly married queen's palace, but went to the palace of these two concubines one after another, so this morning, Baili Youyue scolded the two concubines in the name of confusing the monarch!" ”

A nameless remorse instantly surged in her heart, Gu Youlan sat down on the chair weakly, and her thoughts sank more and more.

Thinking about it for a moment, Gu Youlan clenched her fist and clicked: "It seems that Gongxi Ziyu made a raft with a hundred miles of Yueyue, and he didn't dare to disobey me on the surface, but secretly gave her prestige, but that's fine!" ”

When Bai Yu heard Gu Youlan's words, and saw the anger on her face, she thought that she had something else to say, but she didn't expect to say that it was okay, and she was suddenly confused.

"Master, Baili Youyue has just sat in the position of the queen, not only does she not have the bearing of a mother, but she also punishes the concubines in the harem, which invisibly leaves an excuse for the officials of the Gongxi Kingdom to be impeached, how can you still say that this is okay?"

Hooking the corners of her lips and smiling, Gu Youlan patted Bai Yu's shoulder, and said meaningfully: "Bai Yu, the battle in the harem has been like this since ancient times, whoever takes the lead will have the authority to control the six palaces!" ”

"At the beginning, I made Baili Youyue the queen of the Gongxi Kingdom, I took this layer into consideration, Baili Youyue is not only ruthless, but also ruthless, and she will spare no effort to eradicate anything that hinders her!"

"Since Gongxi Ziyu doesn't give her face, why does she still have to save face for Gongxi Ziyu, the emperor and queen are as affectionate as usual on their faces, but in private they are just tools to weigh the court and use each other, which is not intrigue, sharing bed and dreaming?"
