My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Mr. Zhang was quite the accomplice initially, although Madam managed to defuse everything.

But he shouldn't be overlooked!

Gu Lan didn't mention where he heard it from but launched into the story.

Mu Yuyan was dumbfounded, her delicate jade hand frozen in midair, her beautiful face slightly stiff, and her exquisite smile suddenly frozen!

She hadn't figured out why Gu Lan would know about this yet!

She listened as he recounted his embarrassing moments in one go!

"To think that a woman like Mu Yuyan would cry, haha. Madam, can you imagine? If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed it... The Sword Immortal known for her ruthless methods and the extraordinary Princess Jia Qing, actually had moments of embarrassment over such a trivial thing..."

Gu Lan finished his tale, observing Mu Yuyan's silence and slightly rapid breathing, her face turning slightly red as she turned away, her chest rising and falling.

"Are you feeling hot, Madam?"

"N-no, I'm not hot..."

"Oh, that's good then."

Gu Lan pursed his lips, feeling a bit guilty for teasing her but also enjoying the little victory!

Of course, there was also a bit of worry...

What if Madam finds out later that I intentionally brought up this embarrassing incident? Would she be angry with me?

"Mr. Gu, everyone has embarrassing moments in their childhood. Mu Yuyan was just a princess back then, not an empress... Let's not tease her, okay? It's not nice."

Mu Yuyan didn't want things to get more awkward but also didn't want to continue this way.

She looked at Gu Lan pleadingly, her eyes full of charm.

Gu Lan nodded and smiled gently, feeling relieved.

He said softly, "Now that we've finished our congee, what would Madam like to do?"

"I want to..."

Gu Lan felt it was better to rest a bit after dinner; vigorous exercise might cause stomach discomfort.

"Let's take a break first, or would you like me to tell you a story? I've been neglecting you lately due to my palace duties."

"Okay, sure."

"Then let's talk about the Heaven Mountain Secret Realm. After I came out that day, Dean Si Qingqu mentioned many interesting things."

Initially, Gu Lan wanted to talk about the scene where Madam cried hysterically to save him, pounding on the spatial barrier.

But upon second thought... It was okay to joke about childhood embarrassments, but it would be too much to make fun of the hysterical incident she had done out of love for him!

Of course, there was also a slight fear that Madam would be so embarrassed that she might lose her temper on the spot!

So, Gu Lan stopped in time, reining in his impulse, to avoid sleeping in the guest room later.

He patiently recounted the incidents related to the beasts and how the Demon Realm had turned into a buffet.

Mu Yuyan listened attentively, her phoenix-like eyes watery, her soft body gradually settling in Gu Lan's arms, appearing comfortable and tender.

After a while, both of them felt a bit tired.

Mu Yuyan slowly got up, her cascading black hair falling over her jade shoulders, and she yawned softly.

"Mr. Gu, it's late. I'll go to the bedroom and wait for you. Don't stay up too late reading; remember to rest."

"Alright."

Gu Lan touched his chest. Mu Yuyan's face had just been resting here, leaving behind warmth and fragrance, feeling satisfied. "You should rest first, Madam."

"Okay."

Watching Mu Yuyan, the legendary Sword Immortal, carrying her bowl of congee and leaving, looking like a virtuous and gentle wife, Gu Lan felt a surge of excitement in his heart!

In the past, he had been unwilling to enter the palace and unwilling to get entangled in destiny with Mu Yuyan... He had to admit, he was really foolish!!

Gu Lan felt a wave of satisfaction, then took out the documents he received from the palace maid during the day and wrote his name on them with a wolf-hair brush.

Military Advisor: Gu Lan!

Since Madam wanted him to enter the palace and accompany her, he had no choice but to comply!

If he wanted to play back the teasing Madam endured previously, he couldn't just tease her or play pranks on her.

After a night of teasing, he had to give her a sweet treat... That's how progress works!

That night!

In a gentle town similar to the Gu Residence, a scene unfolded in the Zhennan Marquis Mansion!

However, the two women lying on the bed didn't recognize each other at all!

"Your Highness, can my daughter and I stay here for the night?"

The beautiful woman, resembling a picture of elegance, lay on Hu Yue's bed, dressed in thin gauze.

The room was filled with a warm fragrance, making Hu Yue's mouth dry!

Regardless of whether he knew her or not, how could he turn away these pitiful women who came to seek shelter, especially when they were such a stunning mother-daughter pair? Hu Yue had to help them!

Hu Yue took action directly!

The next day, in the early morning!

The servants had been calling for a long time, but no one opened the door.

When they finally pushed the door open and entered, they were shocked by the scene on the bed.

Their faces twitched as they quickly ran to inform the palace and the royal family!

"The Crown Prince was attacked last night and turned into a corpse!!"

"Quick, inform the palace and send a message to the royal family!"

"Yes!"

The Zhennan Marquis Mansion was in chaos!

Meanwhile, the Third Palace Master of the Blissful Immortal Palace and his female disciple were strolling leisurely on the main street, enjoying themselves.

Their graceful figures attracted the attention of men passing by.

"The Crown Prince is just a useless ornament. I regret helping him." The beautiful woman licked her lips, disdainful.

"Shall we go find that scholar tonight? His vitality seems quite strong, and he's handsome..." the female disciple smiled.

"No, although he's useless, his status matters. There will probably be strict investigations by the Jing Nation court in the coming days... We should take this opportunity to investigate Elder Sun's cause of death and the murderer. Once we've avenged Elder Sun, we can still find that young man later!"

The Third Palace Master thought ahead.

"Very thoughtful, Third Palace Master!"

At the Gu Residence, in the bedroom.

Liu Yexi gently woke up Mu Yuyan. "Your Majesty, wake up! The young master just told me he's going to the palace to report!"

Mu Yuyan furrowed her eyebrows slightly, her phoenix eyes drowsy, her black hair a bit messy.

Since obtaining the Chaos-Origin Fruit, a Saint Grade pregnancy protector, her ten months had been anything but stable. She couldn't keep up with Gu Lan's mental energy, and she woke up late every day...

However, upon hearing the maid's words, Mu Yuyan's expression suddenly froze, and her beautiful eyes sharpened!

"What? Mr. Gu is going to the palace to report. He wants to accept the position of Military Advisor?!"

"Yes! That's what the young master told me when he left!" Liu Yexi said excitedly, quickly helping Mu Yuyan put on her clothes.

"Whether he's reconsidered or just resigned himself to it, this is still related to Your Majesty's plan. As long as the young master accepts this position, it'll be much easier to reward him in the future!" Liu Yexi smiled.

Mu Yuyan was still a bit dazed.

She rubbed her forehead and said, "Strange, Master Gu said he wanted to learn more about it last night. Why did he go to the palace so quickly... We weren't prepared yet."

"Your Majesty, you're not fully awake yet!" Liu Yexi chuckled.

"The key point is that the young master agreed! His agreement means he's not opposed to your status anymore!"

At these words, Mu Yuyan paused, pondered for a moment, and a hint of joy appeared in her eyes.

"It seems to make sense... Yexi, did you really see Master Gu going to the imperial city?"

"Yes! The young master's carriage was heading towards the palace!" Liu Yexi affirmed.

"Today, let's go back to the palace first to review the memorials. Since Master Gu has agreed, it's a step in the right direction for him to accept his position. Once we're back at the palace, we'll observe quietly. Also, tell the palace staff to be more alert. We've finally made some progress; we can't afford to go back!"

Mu Yuyan's eyes filled with excitement, and she pondered for a moment before saying, "If Master Gu has really let go of his prejudices against me, then... it's time to meet him openly and honestly today."
