Quick Transmigration: Hosts, We're Only Responsible for Counterattacking

Chapter 37 A Lifetime of Glory and Peace (6)

However, no matter what, we still have to put on a show.

2345 obediently uploaded a crying emoji to the screen, compensating for its lack of acting skills by bowing its head.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Yun placed the handkerchief between his hands, then rubbed it vigorously before putting it into his sleeve and covering his eyes with his hands for a while.

I can't bear to let the child catch the wolf.

The effect was very noticeable; tears and snot streamed down my face uncontrollably, which was quite harmful to my eyes.

The palace maids made a special effort to dress her up before she left, applying a light layer of powder, a touch of lip rouge, and a lifelike lotus flower decoration on her forehead.

Even a beauty of unparalleled grace and beauty, when she appears like this, with her face distorted, her eyes crooked, and her mouth slanted, makes it difficult to utter any words of praise.

Gu Changjin, whose thoughts were still somewhat complicated, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth upon seeing this. It was hard to imagine that such a person was actually his imperial sister.

Nangong Yu's reaction was perhaps a bit stronger. He frowned slightly and leaned back a little in disgust.

However, to be honest, even though she made this appearance and her image was somewhat ruined, her overall beauty didn't change much.

As for personal taste, everyone has their own preferences. Perhaps Nangong Yu prefers the simple and honest type, Shen Yun thought to herself, looking down. Fortunately, this system doesn't require any strategy or guidance; otherwise, she might not be able to control her fists when she saw this type.

It wasn't because he had bad eyesight, but mainly because she felt that this Nangong Yu didn't seem to understand how noble the original owner's identity truly was, or whether he was someone she could afford to offend.

Gu Changjin snorted coldly, then looked impatiently at Nangong Yu, his lips slightly parted, and said word by word, "Since you've said so, I will naturally give the Nangong family face. However, this marriage was arranged by the late emperor. If you really want to break it off, then you'll make me the unfilial one."

Nangong Yu immediately knelt down again, "Your subject is guilty."

"It's not impossible for me to lift the ban, but General Nangong, shouldn't you also show some performance?"

Gu Changjin accepted the tea handed to him by the eunuch. The tea was clear with some fine foam on top.

Shen Yun then responsibly played the role of a heartbroken vase, which is roughly the screen impression of 2345. Her acting skills have improved, and at least the two people next to her felt that she was very sad.

Nangong Yu, in particular, felt a mixture of disdain and a hidden sense of pride.

This is what is known as the inherent weakness of men.

Nangong Yu gritted his teeth, his heart filled with resentment. He understood Gu Changjin's meaning: the Nangong family now held nearly half of the military power. If it were given away now, the Nangong family would definitely be gradually suppressed.

But if he doesn't send her away, then his relationship with Zhao Di will be unlikely to continue.

And we can't delay, because my parents definitely won't agree if they find out.

Thinking of this, Nangong Yu raised his head, a hint of hesitation in his eyes, as if trying to salvage the situation, "Your Majesty, the border is currently in turmoil. The Nangong family has guarded the border for generations. If we lose our military power now, wouldn't the border be in a terrible state..."

The teacup was slammed onto the table with a loud "bang," splashing some tea onto the memorial. "Nangong Yu," Gu Changjin's lips curved into a gentle smile, "Do you think the border can't function without your Nangong family? That my empire can't function without your Nangong family? Or do you think your Nangong family is the true master of this empire, and I'm just a dispensable puppet?"

Nangong Yu thought so in his heart, but he naturally wouldn't show it on his face. He hurriedly kowtowed three times before continuing, "Your Majesty, I am terrified. The Nangong family has been loyal for generations, how could we dare to have such disloyal thoughts? It's just that I feel that as a subject, I shouldn't cause Your Majesty any worry."

"If that's the case, then my biggest worry right now is Rong'an's marriage. It's not impossible for you not to hand over military power, then Rong'an's marriage to you can be realized ahead of schedule."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yun feigned a joyful expression, then stepped forward, her face covered in snot and tears, and said, "General Nangong, I knew that the person you actually liked had always been me."

Nangong Yu: "Princess, please be careful with your words."

After a moment of contemplation, he gritted his teeth and took out half of the tiger tally from his bosom, handing it forward. The little eunuch trotted over to take it.

The late emperor temporarily placed half of the tiger tally in the hands of the Nangong family for the purpose of pacifying the border. However, later on, the tiger tally gradually became unrecoverable, and every time the late emperor mentioned it, it would be evaded.

There was certainly an underlying meaning behind betrothing Rong An to Nangong Yu.

Gu Changjin casually touched the patterns on the tiger tally, then smiled and said, "It seems that General Nangong is indeed fond of that person. I am not an unreasonable person."

[Dog, start taking notes.]

2345: ? ? ?
"I heard that the woman comes from the countryside, so she probably doesn't know much about etiquette. But since General Nangong likes her, I, as the ruler, should naturally do something for my subject. In a few days, there will be a Hundred Flowers Banquet in the palace, and as the future general's wife, you must attend."

"I will have two nannies accompany you back later. Even if they can't be taught to be as sensible as Rong'an, they should still be able to handle the banquet." Actually, Gu Changjin shouldn't have said this, but since there wasn't a single woman in his harem, he had to take matters into his own hands.

"Thank you for considering my feelings, Your Majesty. But Zhao Di is just an ordinary woman and does not deserve such an honor." Upon closer examination, Nangong Yu realized that what he said was a trap. However, when the emperor commands a subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die. He could not resist at the moment and could only wait and see.

Gu Changjin: "Whether she is worthy of this honor is not my decision, but yours, Nangong Yu. Do you mean that she is not fit to be the general's wife?"

The system, writing furiously, witnessed this massive online feud.

To be honest, it thought Gu Changjin was much better at talking nonsense than the host.

They have real abilities, unlike the host, who just brags all day long.

Nangong Yu frowned slightly, then looked at Gu Changjin with a meaningful gaze, his eyes firm, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace."

They come in triumph and leave with a frown.

Although the purpose of this trip has been achieved, the price has been far too heavy. Nangong Yu can hardly imagine how his father would react if he knew about this.

At midnight
