bookandnovel Chapter 158 Empress? Lady? No Way...
Chapter 158 Empress? Lady? No Way...
Gu Lan was even more confused when he heard that the empress expelled all the commanders of the forbidden army from the palace because of her dragon face.
But the future will have time to figure out why.
You have already arrived at the magnificent Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Amidst the scent of sandalwood, a beautiful court lady came and greeted Gu Lan and Eunuch Mao with a smile: "Young Master Gu, Your Majesty is unwell today and cannot see guests, please forgive me."
"..."
Gu Lan was speechless, thinking that the Empress' illness is really troublesome, she can't listen to it today, and she has to come back another day...
However.
The palace lady then said: "However, His Majesty already knows what Young Master Gu has done, and the object given to Young Master is on the dragon case."
"My lord, wait a moment, the servant will fetch it now!"
Gu Lan froze for a moment, cupped hands smiled and said, "Thank you."
After the court lady turned into the bright yellow screen with dragon patterns, she turned to hold out a square plate with a pair of flower feathers and a jade seal on it.
It was shining so brightly that the guards beside the Golden Palace looked sideways and swallowed their saliva!
"I know that Gu Sheng is very good at chess, but I never thought he would have the talent to solve cases and interrogate. I was really pleasantly surprised...Tefenger is the first-class uncle, with a hundred taels of gold and a thousand pieces of brocade..."
The maid read the oral order.
This is an afterthought by the empress, since Xiaoxi had already told about the marquis at the dinner table... In order not to let Gu Lan suspect that she opened the back door for him to enter, she had to suspend the reward of one level first.
But even so.
The position of a first-class uncle is already quite high in Dajing, especially for such a young first-class uncle!
The guards swallowed louder.
Many court ladies also cast their eyes.
They looked at Gu Lan with nostalgia, although they felt itchy in their hearts, they could only bow their heads and walk away, not daring to look too much.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
Gu Lan responded calmly and accepted the reward.
He didn't think it was a big deal, after all, he saved more than 20 lives, and afterward he told the location of the Huanxi Immortal Palace behind the scenes of the Dajing court. The meritorious deeds are fully worthy of this reward...
"Young Master Gu, Your Majesty still has something to ask you."
Just when Gu Lan wanted to go back the same way with Eunuch Mao, the maid stopped him again.
Maybe it's time to arrange a task again, why is this empress holding on to one person, maybe she's the reincarnation of a juicer girl... Gu Lan had a bad feeling in his heart.
At this time!
The palace maid spoke with a crisp voice: "Your Majesty asked, would Mr. Gu be willing to enter the palace?"
Gu Lan: "!!??"
We haven't even met each other, and you're even sick, and you're about to take over the harem... Isn't this too outrageous? !
When the surrounding guards heard the words, their eyes suddenly changed, from envy and jealousy before to true awe!
A kind of awe for the future master!
And Eunuch Mao also retreated tactically, with a look of joy as expected in shock!
However.
Before Gu Lan could respond, the court lady turned around and said, "My lord, would you like to enter the palace...to replace Luo Chen, the former commander of the Imperial Army, and join the army as the Imperial Army?"
Gu Lan: "..."
Girl, can we not breathe too much when we speak, if you pass the decree like this, there is a high possibility that someone will disobey in the future.
Gu Lan made a fuss, thought of an excuse and said: "I'm just a scholar, I don't know martial arts, I'm afraid I can't do what Your Majesty expects."
"Your Majesty said that the Forbidden Army is just a temporary post, and there is no need for a high Martial Dao Cultivation Base."
The maid smiled and said, "It is said that the Imperial Army protects His Majesty, but everyone knows that His Majesty protects the whole world, so why do you need others to protect you? Joining the Imperial Army is just another reward that His Majesty values your son's talent."
At this time, Eunuch Mao chimed in: "Yes, Mr. Gu, since His Majesty has great trust, how can he live up to this good intention?"
heard the words.
Gu Lan suddenly fell silent.
At first, the meaning conveyed by the palace lady seemed to be just a random invitation from the empress, to give herself a chance to continue to perform... But with repeated explanations and retention, why does she have the intention of rewarding herself with a high position in Miyagi?
"Young Master, if it is difficult to make a decision, you can go home and think about it for a few days, and then come to the palace to give His Majesty an answer."
The maid thought that Gu Lan was hesitating, so after saying that, she saluted and went back.
The task she received today was to let Gu Lan accept the award, and then convey the last intention of throwing an olive branch.
So don't give Gu Lan the chance to refuse!
Eunuch Mao helped Gu Lan take the reward with a smile on his face, for fear that his future thigh would not be blessed in the blessing!
"My son, go back and think about it carefully. The prestige and real power of the position of joining the imperial army is much higher than that of a first-class uncle in your hands...Since your majesty is interested, you must grasp it!"
He whispered the last half sentence in Gu Lan's ear.
The intention here, of course, is not just the meaning of appointing talents, but also the overtones of intentionally letting Gu Lan get close to Miyagi and become a minister under the empress's skirt.
"..."
Gu Lan nodded lightly, noncommittal, eyes flickering: "Please trouble my father-in-law to take me out of the palace, I will consider this matter."
"it is good!"
Eunuch Mao felt that Gu Lan had opened his eyes, and he looked happy.
The two headed towards Miyagi Avenue.
Looking at Gu Lan's tall and straight back, the guards behind him couldn't bear the sour voice!
"It's good to be born good-looking! He's obviously just an ordinary person, yet he has the blessing of being favored by His Majesty..."
"Sure enough, a person like His Majesty is not exempt! I thought that the only person in this world worthy of His Majesty is the Lord Priest."
"Don't care what Cultivation Base is, it will definitely be our master in the future, gossiping behind your back will be fruitless!"
"I know, I know! Luo Chen was beaten half to death just now, how dare we... just a little curious, what is the identity of this scholar, and where is he from..."
"..."
Outside of Miyagi.
Farewell to Eunuch Mao who looked at the concubine's eyes, Gu Lan came to the corner of Zhuqiang, the hidden secret of the holy product was activated quietly, and his figure gradually became transparent!
"The invisibility of this determination is really abnormal, even the perception can be blocked! If this is placed in Yuyu in the previous life...cough, if it is in the process of combat, how can the opponent play?"
Gu Lan turned back to the palace city again, secretly stunned: "It's a pity that I learned it temporarily, and it can only last half an hour of complete concealment...but it should be enough. Let's see what is going on in this palace city." The lady's secret, can you find my mysterious sister-in-law..."
...
At this time, the west gate of Miyagi.
A fiery red soft sedan stopped, and a girl with an oval face in palace attire came down, with exquisite facial features, soft black hair, and an alluring beauty that was quite similar to the empress.
"Your Highness, His Majesty is not in the palace today."
Knowing that Princess Mingle is coming, the female officer hurried over to greet her.
Princess Ming Le nodded: "It's okay, I know she's not here... The teacher is here, I have something to do with the teacher."
The female officer nodded: "The Grand Tutor is in the Eastern Palace Study."
"Okay, there's no need to report, I'll go right away."
Princess Mingle was a little happy.
Ever since she was threatened by Mu Yuyan to take the exam in front of many students, she didn't dare to slack off anymore. Last night, she made a plan to move to the East Palace to "study hard" for a while!
Even forget it!
Now that Miss Huang knows her own determination, she won't be willing to embarrass herself anymore, right? After all, when the time comes, I will lose the face of the royal family...
"Uncle Zhang is not reliable at all. He doesn't even know who the man Huang Jie likes is, so Tathagata ask the teacher..."
On the way to the East Palace, Ming Le kicked the small stones on the road briskly with his buckskin boots, shook his head and said.
Hearing the sound, the maid behind her hurriedly persuaded: "Your Highness, if you ask the Taifu such a question, there will probably be no results... and His Majesty will know about it afterwards!"
Compared with when she was a child, His Majesty managed to be much gentler to her, but this master is always tempting wildly on the verge of being beaten!
Those who made them slaves were very frightened!
"What are you afraid of?"
Princess Mingle turned around with a smile, her beautiful eyes were bright and moist: "That man is at most only to the extent that the imperial sister likes him, otherwise he would have been admitted to the Luanfeng Palace... No matter how important he is, he can still have me in the teacher and Is it important in the eyes of Huang Jie? Besides, I also hope that he and Huang Jie can succeed!"
This sentence makes sense.
But for some reason, the maid always had a bad feeling...
…
Hall of Mental Cultivation!
Gu Lan walked directly through the patrol of the guards, and came to the huge dragon table carved with dragons and phoenixes!
The dragon chair is covered with cushions, and not far behind is the dragon couch, with a hundred flowers falling and a brocade quilt with cloud patterns, which is the place where the empress usually sleeps.
From time to time, there is a delicate fragrance, which seems to be the body fragrance infested by the empress who has been sleeping here for a long time. The empty valley and orchid are refreshing...
Um?
This smell, why does it have a familiar feeling... Gu Lan shrugged his nose, and he was not polite, and directly sat down on the dragon chair.
The broad view of the white marble foundation of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the south at a glance made him overwhelmed by the emperor's eye addiction!
"Just imagine all the officials bowing down. It's really cool to be the emperor...Unfortunately, I don't want the trouble of waking up and taking power in the world, I just want to lie drunk on my wife's lap."
Gu Lan raised the corners of his lips.
In the original book, Empress Dajing never had a male favorite, and she was still a perfect body, so the Hall of Mental Cultivation should also be regarded as a boudoir.
No wonder it smells so good...
Not paying much attention to the fragrance and beauty lurking in the empress' bedroom at the moment, after all, he is not the male protagonist of the stallion novel, Gu Lan calmly glanced at the interior layout of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Next to the couch is a screen, and behind the screen is a clear pool, which is now empty, and at night there will be maids pouring hot water and flower petals for the empress to bathe in.
"Tsk, this woman really enjoys..."
Gu Lan thought of the swimming pool of a wealthy family in a luxury villa in his previous life, and couldn't help being a little envious.
However.
Just when Gu Lan looked around, he found nothing else.
When you want to get down to business...
A blue gauze dress on the hanger beside the dragon couch caught his eyes tightly!
The cloud pattern on the gauze is fine, and the workmanship is as natural as it is, with a touch of Spiritual Qi!
certainly!
These are not important, the important thing is that Gu Lan is getting closer, the more I look at it, the more I feel that this gauze dress, and the Tsing Yi I usually like to wear, look very much like a couple's outfit!
"Isn't this the gauze I gave my wife? How could it be in the palace of Empress Jiaqing?!"
It is hard to find the second piece of fairy-level spiritual clothes in the world. Of course, Gu Lan recognized the system rewards, and his brows slowly frowned while he was astonished!
"The lady likes this gauze dress very much, she will never lose it, and she has been wearing this dress for the past few days, this morning... By the way! When she went out today, she was not wearing this dress!"
Gu Lan pondered.
The fragrance from the empress' bedroom seemed to be getting stronger, pouring into the nostrils, and Gu Lan was shocked by the familiar feeling!
"My lady...the Empress...won't you know what to do?!"
On the dragon chair, Gu Lan's heart trembled, he sat up straight subconsciously, his eyes widened, and all kinds of coincidences in the past came to mind in an instant!
"When I was in Langzhou, I couldn't perceive that mysterious sword fairy, and I couldn't see through the lady's aura even with the qi technique!"
"Empress Dajing...isn't she one of the few sword immortals in Dajing?!"
"Some time ago, Si Qingqu said that the empress was taken away by the female officer because her husband broke into Tianshan Mountain and bombarded the space barrier, and then she was exhausted... Could it be because of me?!"
"There are also those major events in the world, the lady seems to hear about them much faster than ordinary people..."
Recalling the pictures one after another, Gu Lan was shocked and muttered to himself.
Originally, it was impossible for him to associate the two together!
After all, the lady has a gentle personality and is as tender as water to herself. She is simply the most perfect woman in the world!
But the Empress Dajing in the original book has a cold personality, fierce and decisive, and she is merciless when raising the butcher's knife to her courtiers!
One is a little wife, the other is a ruthless emperor...
How could this be a person! !
but now!
Even if it doesn't matter anymore, with so many coincidences stacked together, and the ironclad evidence like Sha Yi, Gu Lan has to start to doubt...
Lady, is she the empress of Dajing? ! !
"Hmm... What the hell is it? Just go to the East Palace and look at the daily records of the empress over the years. Anyway, I have to find out today!"
Gu Lan took a deep breath, and regardless of the running time of the hidden heart formula, he quickly rushed towards the palace to the east!
The guards on both sides of the road felt an inexplicable wind and couldn't help scratching their heads, showing doubts.
...
along the way.
Gu Lan always pays attention to the court ladies who come and go with Tingting.
The appearance is indeed superior, but if compared with the lady, it is more than a step away, it is impossible to be a fellow sister!
"If my conjecture is true, then the mysterious aunt really shouldn't exist..."
All the facts point to that possibility. When Gu Lan came to the bedroom where the empress lived when she was a princess, her breathing became a little short of breath!
finally!
On a side case, Gu Lan found the life record of the emperor, which is still new, recording the whereabouts of Empress Jiaqing in the past six months.
In order to prove the identity of the woman, Gu Lan couldn't wait to open it, his eyes were tense!
[You have read the living records of the empress, special degree: unique]
[Reward: Cultivation Base+1000, additionally gain loyalty 100% holy rank peak dead soldier x1]
[The host can be summoned anytime and anywhere]
Hearing the mechanical sound, Gu Lan's heart skipped a beat!
This bonus...is a bit out of the ordinary!
According to past experience, the rewards are not only related to the books read, but also related to the content of the books!
It seems that there is really something strange in this daily record...
Gu Lan read it intently, but frowned slightly!
"The whereabouts of the empress in the daily record are all in the palace, isn't it the lady? I guessed wrong?"
"In the fourth year of Jiaqing, the empress accepted her words widely, reused Linjiang Cheng's grain seeds, and awarded thousands of rewards... Is this also a coincidence?"
Looking at the contradictory daily record with a face of bewilderment, Gu Lan's eyes flickered, and he was a little bit shaken by the guess in his heart!
However.
Just when he couldn't think of any results.
The beauty in a gorgeous palace attire did not know when to appear, and she did not shout, but looked at Gu Lan who had already shown her figure with thoughtful and curious eyes.
After a while.
Princess Mingle's beautiful eyes of peach blossoms changed from memory to sudden, Bai Nenyu poked Gu Lan with her finger, and said in a low voice, "Ah, is it you? The... whore who saved me that night?"
Gu Lan came back to his senses and looked up at her.
That night, because Princess Ming Le was taking a bath, do not see evil, so he did not see her appearance clearly.
And at this time!
After looking directly at her charming face again, and her exquisite facial features that are quite similar to the lady, Gu Lan's eyes froze for a moment, and his pupils shrank fiercely!
really......
(When I was writing the last chapter, I had a lot of things to do, so I forgot about the setting of the Empress... But after reading the book review, I immediately went back to rounding up the waste of combat power. Thank you for your great reminders! This holiday should probably end the showdown plot, The follow-up warm daily life + the plot of the Six Realms are equally exciting, please ask for data!)
