Chapter 157: The empress is jealous, and the lady has a secret
[Luck: Unknowable]
[Personality: Unknowable]
Gu Lan: ???
The clear light in her eyes flashed and was not captured by the empress.
Gu Lan was extremely puzzled in his heart!
Could it be that my Qi Hope Technique has been useless for too long, and something has gone wrong?
Gu Lan hurriedly walked into the house, looking at his handsome face like a fairy in the bronze mirror, his eyes were bright again!
γLuck: Purpleγ
[Destiny: Change your life against the sky, harvest the daughter of destiny as a servant, master the mysterious bronze coffin, destroy the demons, and become the emperor realm......]
Isn't that a problem?
Gu Lan was stunned for a moment, then groaned, and the gaze in the bronze mirror gradually lost focus.
He looked stunned, his throat rolled, and his face was shocked!
"The lady has a secret on her body...... I can't even spy on it, I can shield the heavenly machine!? β
Gu Lan found out the seriousness of the matter and looked surprised!
He is already in the realm of the late stage of the Emperor Realm, and the tearing space is a snap of his fingers, if he is not restricted by the luck of the Heavenly Dao, he can completely become a native of the motherland on this continent!
The lady is a mortal...... I can't see through her, how is this possible?!
I just wanted to make sure.
The spirit rune sensed that it was still there, and the lady's condition was also normal, so Gu Lan was relieved...... It's just that I didn't want to find out the secret of the lady!
He was amazed!
After all!
Who is usually idle and has nothing to do, and will use the means of dealing with the enemy to treat the lady who knows the roots?
This wave is really unexpected!
At this time.
Mu Yuyan walked slowly from behind, she saw Gu Lan's strange appearance, thought that she had encountered something in the Hanging Heaven Division, and asked with concern: "Xianggong, is it that the interrogation of prisoners is not smooth?" β
It's okay if it doesn't go well.
Anyway, as long as the torture is used, it will take a little more time, and she can always pry the mouth of that person open, and she didn't expect to get the news so quickly.
After all, it's just for Gu Lan to take credit!
Listen to the gentle voice of the lady.
Gu Lan's heart was fluttering, he opened his mouth, but said, "No... Things are going well, but I feel a little sorry for those girls, so unfortunate that it happened. β
Mu Yuyan was silent when she heard this, and she stopped talking.
"This matter is indeed a matter of the imperial court...... However, I believe that Her Majesty the Empress, after learning about the forces behind this matter, will definitely uproot them, and the future affairs of those girls will also be properly handled..."
In front of all the people, Mu Yuyan can bow his head and confess.
You can even make an edict against yourself!
But Gu Lan can only try not to mention it here, and talk more about remedial measures...... He already has a bad impression of himself, but he can't have a bad feeling anymore!
Mu Yuyan's beautiful eyes raised slightly, and her jade hand pinched her sleeves nervously.
Liu Yexi walked outside the house from the gate of the house at this time, with a happy face, and just wanted to report Gu Lan's actions to the empress, but heard this sentence!
He looked stunned.
Originally, it was not the empress's fault, and she had to try her best to explain herself as tactfully as possible...... She couldn't help but feel a burst of grievance and sadness for Mu Yuyan!
Unexpectedly!
Gu Lan smiled mildly and said:
"What's next? Lady, you have hearsay, those girls are not dead, and after today's interrogation, they were all rescued. β
He still plans to put aside the lady's secret for now.
After all.
The lady has no doubt about her sincerity, she is pregnant with her own cub, 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 another look at what secrets the lady has... I can't find it before the stone formation is repaired, so I ask Yunlong Lao Dao before going to Mobei......"
Gu Lan took a deep breath and sank the matter into his heart.
And the other side!
When Mu Yuyan heard this, her beautiful eyes suddenly shocked: "They are saved?!" All of them... Saved? When was that?! β
"Really! Madam, it's rumored outside, our son-in-law Gu Lan, 'Adult', has saved more than 20 girls, which is simply immeasurable merit! β
Liu Yexi smiled at this time, deliberately biting the word adult, so reminded.
After Gu Lan heard this, he was stunned!
"? Who gave me my name?! β
"I don't know, it's going to be spread outside anyway, but it just hasn't reached our Dongzhi Street yet, sooner or later..."
Liu Yexi looked innocent.
Gu Lan: "......"
Okay, you thick-eyed Wei Zhi, I saved you once, and you repaid me like this?
Gan!
However, Gu Lan knew that Wei Zhi also had good intentions, so he didn't say anything more, so he could only silently accept this irreparable matter.
After Mu Yuyan heard Xiao Xi's affirmation, the joy in her eyebrows and eyes could not be concealed, and her delicate body trembled with excitement!
Her beautiful eyes were like water, staring at Gu Lan's face.
If you weren't afraid of revealing the stuffing, you really wanted to go up and take a bite, this man with superb means and always brought great surprises to himself......
In the empress's imagination.
Even if the news comes out from the interrogation, so many young girls have been killed, and her guilty edict still has to be issued!
There will definitely be a stain on Jiaqing in the history books.
But now, things are 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 violent means of sin and self-edict can be avoided!
Naturally, there will be no fall in the fortunes of the country!
This is a reward for the minister, this is the husband who saved my life...... Mu Yuyan sighed in her heart, she owed Gu Lan more and more, and she didn't know how to pay it back.
Giving birth to one? Two? Or three or five??
I talked about this matter when I chatted with Concubine Xiao before, and the empress had not yet left the palace, so she laughed and scolded a few words, and then revealed it.
She never thought that she would have to think about this one day!
Mu Yuyan thought wildly, her pretty face was slightly hot, and her earlobes were crystal pink.
At this time.
Lao Yang Tou walked into the house with the cooked vegetables, as happy as usual: "Madam and son are still talking about things, let's eat first, and only when we are full will we have the strength to do things." β
Work......
When this word fell into Mu Yuyan's ears, it became a little abnormal!
No, no, no!
Gotta get away from it!
Mu Yuyan shook her brain, her jade hand lightly supported her ruddy cheeks, and asked softly: "Xianggong has done such a beautiful thing, he wants to enter the palace to report on his work, right?" β
"Well, I'll go tomorrow morning."
Gu Lan glanced at her and said thoughtfully.
Mu Yuyan curled the corners of her mouth imperceptibly: "Then Her Majesty the Empress should reward the princess well, otherwise how can he be worthy of such outstanding feats?" β
Well! Make a foreshadowing first, lest the reward given tomorrow be too heavy and he will become suspicious!
A batch of Mu Yuyan's wit!
"The reward doesn't matter, our family doesn't lack anything, as long as it ends soon, we can go home to accompany the lady."
Gu Lan smiled slightly.
"That being said."
Mu Yuyan shook his head and retorted: "But if you don't give a heavy reward, I'm afraid it will also attract the people to complain, especially these rescued and reunited girls' families." β
"What kind of reward is precious?"
"Marquis?"
Liu Yexi pretended not to understand and said tentatively.
Mu Yuyan glanced at her appreciatively.
"Feudal marquis? Why don't you say that if the empress wants to marry me, as a reward? Gu Lan felt a little absurd, and shook his head jokingly and said.
"That's not going to work!" Mu Yuyan said subconsciously, and was stunned after speaking.
A strange and sour feeling rose from the bottom of my heart for no reason!
When she came back to her senses, she was even more confused...... What's the situation, I'm actually eating my own vinegar?!
What's going on!
Could it be that my father-in-law said it himself?
Liu Yexi looked at the empress, with a look of admiration, and said in her heart that Your Majesty has good acting skills, and I don't know what my identity is when I enter the play, right?
Gu Lan heard her answer like this, and touched his head with a chuckle: "Just kidding, I haven't even seen the empress, how can I look down on the common people?" β
Hear the words.
Mu Yuyan felt that he seemed to be very stupid just now, and it was not easy for him to have the consciousness of being "included in the harem", why did he stop eating flying vinegar by himself!
Being favored by the empress, isn't this the goal of her own "evil" plan!
Mu Yuyan's complicated eyes gave Gu Lan a piece of lotus lotus, pursed his lips and hesitated: "Actually, if Your Majesty can really take a fancy to Xianggong...... It's not impossible for a concubine to be a concubine. β
As soon as these words came out!
Smack!!
All four are shocked!
Lao Yang's chopsticks fell directly to the ground, and he hurriedly bent down to pick them up, pretending not to hear anything!
Xiao Qi and Zhong Ren buried their heads in the rice and stayed out of the matter.
Liu Yexi was stunned for a moment, and then squeezed her eyebrows at the empress.
And Gu Lan!
He looked at the lady's delicate and flushed face in shock for a moment, and then a look of doubt flashed in his eyes......
Mu Yuyan saw the maid's eyes, and knew that she had said the wrong thing again when her mind was hot!
is different from the calm of the past, and tonight has already said two wrong sentences in succession!
Dangerous!!
Sure enough, in front of the person you love, you will reduce your wisdom, and what you say in the book is right...... Mu Yuyan was nervous in her heart, but she had never seen any winds and waves in her generation, so she immediately quibbled:
"The concubine thinks that the empress is a Ming monarch...... If the prince can enter the palace, how can he delay the future of the prince because of the concubine? β
Gu Lan looked at her for a long time, and said with a gentle smile: "The lady is too worried, you and I are married as husband and wife, and we are willing to be winged birds in heaven, and we will be connected branches on the ground, and we will not be tampered with!" β
The secret of the lady is related to the Dajing Miyagi ...... Gu Lan nodded slightly, he had already come to a preliminary conclusion!
Could it be related to the eldest sister-in-law in the palace?
Well, stay a little longer in the Imperial City tomorrow and see if you can find the answer......
Mu Yuyan listened to Gu Lan's words, and the exciting heartbeat finally fell silent in the full chest.
Scared to death!
She is not ready, now she will face Xianggong as an empress!
Not!
In the future, you can't be so reserved, even if you want to help the princess "raid" the empress, you have to be tactful!
Mu Yuyan's delicate pretty face flushed, and she ate elegantly and reservedly.
......
Night!
General Wuwei's Mansion!
Wu Fan, who has been silent for a long time, has paid some attention to the movements in the capital recently, because the servants who were watching the Sun Mansion at the beginning have gained a harvest in today's report!
"Sun Shilang turned out to be a thief? Oh, anyone can be accused of being a thief these days! Raid the family and exterminate the clan at every turn, and the tyrant will die sooner or later! β
Wu Fan scolded weakly.
The revenge of losing a son, although it was not killed by the empress, but it was because of Dayu's plan to take revenge on Dajing!
He hates both sides now!
The henchman next to him hurriedly echoed him: "Yes, General, Your Majesty has no virtue, and treachery and evil are frequent, we have to find a way to clear the king's side!" β
Treacherous? Wu Fan glanced at him, always feeling like he was talking about himself.
"Ahem, Qingjun's side also depends on the strength, our strength is too weak now, what do you say about Sun Shilang's news!"
"Yes!" The henchman told him everything he had found at the door of the Hanging Heaven Division.
After Wu Fan listened, his eyes suddenly lit up!
A look of shock and joy!
"You said that Sun Shilang's cultivation is the merit of collecting and supplementing, and he has enough imperial realm cultivation? Or are you from Mobei?! β
"yes, what's wrong General?"
The henchman looked dazed.
"Haha! Heaven will forget this empress, and heaven will kill her! Wu Fan laughed heartily, quickly turned around and took out a map from the book pavilion and spread it out on the table!
"In the land of Mobei, there are many demons and many evils!"
"In the records of ancient history, there was a huge sect called Huanxi Immortal Palace, but a long, long time has passed, and it has gradually been forgotten by people!"
"Ahh In this way, Sun Shilang is actually a member of this big sect! "The henchman is suddenly.
Wu Fan hooked the corners of his mouth: "I see more than that!" The people who have cultivated in the Imperial Realm can definitely be regarded as the backbone of this continent! β
"And when he dies, the big forces behind him will definitely not give up, even if it is just to save face, they will come to the empress to ask for guilt!"
The henchman understood and said with a wicked smile: "But if the empress wants to serve the public, she must not bow to this evil cultivator, and the two parties will definitely have a conflict!" β
"That's right!!"
Wu Fan's eyes flashed, and his face was full of pride: "Huanxi Immortal Palace has stood for many years, and its background will not be worse than that of the four great dynasties!" When the time comes, we will only need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and maybe we can still hug this thigh! β
Dayu has withered, and he has long wanted to find a new backer.
"The general is wise!"
The henchman arched his hand, patted his ass and remembered something at the same time, and then said: "By the way, General, I also found out a piece of news today, about a young scholar, it seems to be related to the empress." β
"Scholar?"
Wu Fan's eyes showed disdain: "Useless is a scholar, this kind of person doesn't need to pay attention to ...... in the future"
"But he entered the palace and became a messenger!"
"Uh, tell me!"
Wu Fan frowned, and listened to his henchman whisper about Gu Lan.
"It's not easy to do without an address... But it seems that the empress is so fond of a young man for the first time! β
Wu Fan thought of the rumors in the market some time ago.
The empress once broke into the Tianshan Mountains because a man ...... Is it true?
"Pay more attention to the news of this scholar, maybe it will be of great use in the future!" Wu Fan squinted his eyes, murderous!
Since I can't embarrass the empress.
Then it's okay to embarrass the people she might care about, right?
Hum! If the East Window incident happens one day, maybe you can hijack this white-faced scholar as a bargaining chip to escape!
......
The next day, early in the morning!
Gu Lan didn't wear such an ostentatious outfit anymore, but walked into the Dajing Imperial City again in plain green clothes as usual.
At the gate of the palace, I met an acquaintance.
"Grandpa Mao?"
Gu Lan greeted with a puzzled expression: "Why are you here, knowing that I will come today?" β
"No, no! Our family happened to come out after dinner, and we met my son! Father-in-law Mao smiled: "Why don't you still lead the way for the son?" β
"Okay!"
Gu Lan nodded.
Father-in-law Mao's expression was delighted, and he took Gu Lan to the palace city neatly.
The last time I spoke for Gu Lan, after the empress returned to the palace and learned about it, she directly rewarded him with a hundred taels of gold and a rare cloud boot for eunuchs, which is a great honor!
Father-in-law Mao knew that Gu Lan was a nobleman... Well, at least he is a nobleman, and he may not have the qualifications to succeed, of course he will serve carefully!
The two of them still passed through the Zhengyang Gate first, and then entered the empress's harem.
"Eh, why didn't you see that Commander Luo today?"
Gu Lan saw that the leader of the forbidden army had changed, and he nodded to himself from afar, and he had doubts in his heart.
Father-in-law Mao smiled: "It's still because of the son!" β
Gu Lan was stunned: "Because of me?" β
"Of course! That day, he was disrespectful to his son, and His Majesty directly fined him fifty court rods and expelled him from the palace after knowing it, not to mention that he couldn't get out of bed for more than half a year! β
Gonggong Mao snorted coldly, feeling that he had missed a sentence, and hurriedly added with a smile: "By the way, Son, that court cane... It's the punishment of our family prison! β
