My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

"I'm also curious... but, that day won't be too far away!"

Mu Yuyan lifted the curtain, gazing at the bustling and lively scene of the capital, her eyes full of hope and nostalgia. The true words left by the old Director of Astrology at his departure were correct.

Gu Lan had indeed given hope to the Great Jing and to her...

However, these calm and happy days were really nostalgic, and she didn't want to disrupt them. Mu Yuyan supported her delicate chin with her jade hand, staring at the dripping water along the eaves, lost in thought.

At this moment, the coachman suddenly said, "Madam, we've arrived at Dongzhi Gate!"

"Good."

Mu Yuyan and Liu Yexi got off the carriage, looked around, but did not find Gu Lan's figure.

"Why is the Young Master doing this? Didn't he say we would meet here?"

Liu Yexi pouted.

"Maybe we're too anxious; Master Gu might not have factored in this day yet."

Mu Yuyan smiled and comforted, "Let's go and find him. It's not troublesome."

"By the way, did you bring the jade pendant that the Grand Tutor gave you?"

Mu Yuyan suddenly reminded.

The capital was crowded, and as soon as they got off the carriage, they could feel it. With many distinguished families and aristocrats around, there was no guarantee that they wouldn't be recognized. With that piece of jade pendant, they could invisibly avoid many troubles, not attracting unnecessary attention to Gu Residence.

"I brought it!"

Liu Yexi patted her waist, and a bright jade hung there.

This move attracted the greedy eyes of many beggars nearby!

Liu Yexi wasn't afraid, glaring fiercely at them!

Although ordinary people couldn't see her cultivation level, the aura of the King Realm, once revealed, would make those beggars stop in their tracks!

"Yexi, don't stir up trouble."

Mu Yuyan scolded.

After all, they had finally set the date to return to Gu Residence. She didn't want anything to delay it! However, as Mu Yuyan and Liu Yexi hadn't walked a few steps, they heard a somewhat "playful" voice from behind:

"Beauty, where are you going?"

"My home is not far; why don't you come with me?"

Liu Yexi felt annoyed at the words of these beggars! Did they really think they could step out of line with them?

Unexpectedly!

Before she could react,

Mu Yuyan hesitated for a moment, then her eyes moistened. She smiled, turned around, and directly pounced into the arms of the man behind her!

Liu Yexi was dumbfounded!

Hastily turning back to look, they saw Gu Lan with a smile on his face, a grass leaf in his mouth, and his arms open, embracing the female Emperor who threw herself into his arms like a swallow returning to its nest.

"Well, I took a narrow path, and I couldn't even recognize the Young Master's voice..." Liu Yexi's angry expression suddenly disappeared, replaced by a bit of embarrassment.

"Has Master Gu been waiting here for several days?"

Mu Yuyan whispered, burying her face in Gu Lan's chest. Upon their reunion, she first indulged in the familiar scent of him, as pleasant as before, with a faint refreshing aroma from the sunlight on his Confucian robe.

"Not really, I just came today."

Gu Lan chuckled. Waiting until she had her fill of hugging, he said, "Let's go. Old Yang and Tan'er have prepared the meals at home, and there's a little brother who came as a guest."

"Little brother?"

Liu Yexi was taken aback and asked, "Where did the Young Master make friends with him?"

Gu Lan explained, "Haha, it doesn't count as making friends; I picked him up on the way here!"

The three of them walked away talking and laughing. In the corner, a few beggars watched their backs, and a strange and disdainful voice sounded.

"Weird! This Young Master looks pretty good; why is his wife so ugly?"

"I don't know... Maybe that guy is poor, marrying a wife who doesn't look good!"

"Moreover, he seems to treat her like a treasure. Maybe he has never seen a lively miss from a wealthy family. It's really pitiful!"

At this moment, in General Wuwei's Residence! The news of the explosion of the black gunpowder workshop and the female Emperor's anger, leading to the execution of Zhang Lan, had spread throughout the capital.

At this moment, General Wu Fan was sitting in the study, feeling uneasy. Outside the door, the lame Wu Yuan walked in. It had to be said that the benefits of being cultivated in a martial family from a young age were quite significant. With broken tendons and bones, he could walk after a few days!

"Why are you here?"

Seeing this wayward son, General Wu Fan suddenly became furious.

"I see Dad in distress, so I came to talk to you."

Wu Yuan smiled.

"It sounds nice. Huh, rascal, you must be here to plead for leniency to go out and fool around!"

General Wu Fan was not moved at all, scolding him.

Wu Yuan lowered his head, his eyes full of complaints. Obviously, he had known his son better than anyone else!

"Dad, I've been chasing Miss Xiao for a year, and I haven't caught her yet. If you're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry!"

Wu Wu Fan pushed the letters and books on the table to the ground, glaring, "All you think about is women all day long. I heard that a few days ago, you were sent back because of a scholar... How did I raise such a useless thing like you?"

"Do you know the current situation of our Wu family?"

"Let me tell you, you useless thing! Just yesterday, Zhang Lan died!"

General Wu Fan roared like thunder!

Hearing this, Wu Yuan, despite being useless, knew what his father had been doing!

Conspiring with Great Yu privately, attempting to undermine the court, this was more than a thousand times worse than a beheading crime!

Now that the black gunpowder workshop had been investigated, wouldn't that mean...

Wu Yuan suddenly trembled with fear. Seeing him behaving like a coward, Wu Fan frowned again, "Don't be afraid! Fortunately, your brother Zhang successfully detonated the black gunpowder workshop in the end, leaving no trace. Even if the female Emperor has suspicions, she won't arbitrarily take action against our family!"

After saying that, he added two more words, "For now..."

Hearing this, Wu Yuan wiped off his cold sweat and muttered, "That's good. Whew! You scared me, you old guy..."

Wu Fan said, "..."

"During this period, don't cause any trouble for me. You've embarrassed me enough, getting beaten like this... Stay quietly at home for the next three months!"

"What?"

Wu Yuan's face turned bitter. Thinking that Gu Lan might still go to Dulcet Pavilion these days... and might have spent several nights with Xiao Fei'er, who he admired and pursued! His heart felt like it was being twisted with a knife!

On the other side, Wu Fan couldn't care less about the discomfort of his rebellious son acting like a lickspittle. He took out a piece of paper and the token from Great Yu from under the desk, his brows furrowed, and began to write a letter.

"To the Emperor of Yu: the incident at the black gunpowder workshop in the capital of the Jing Nation has occurred, and Zhang Lan is dead. There were casualties among the Great Yu warriors as well, which was beyond expectations!

Your country's dark network in the Jing Nation has suffered some repercussions. Although it can still operate, gathering some crucial information has become difficult. I hope you can send a few capable individuals to assist me, preferably high-ranking experts!

... In addition, the passing of the Ninth Prince in Langzhou is deeply mourned. According to rumors, it was the work of the Grand Consecrator of Tianji Pavilion. I apologize, but it is beyond my capabilities. The matter ends here!

..."

Wu Yuan leaned over to take a look at his father's letter and couldn't help but curl his lips. Indeed, following this old guy, handling things so ineffectively, and scolding me every day for not being capable...

Pah!
