After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Originally, Xu Rong was a little scared by what she heard before, but after hearing what Zheng said later, Xu Rong looked at Zheng speechlessly, thinking that she had been brainwashed by Jiang Xiyu.

What Jiang Xiyu said was pure nonsense, and only her mother, with her pig brain, believed it.

She thought that if Jiang Xiyu dared to say something unfavorable to her in front of Xu Rui, she would never let her go.

Lin Rouyu had been feeling uncomfortable because Xu Rui got off the carriage directly when he arrived at the palace gate without any intention of waiting for her. After hearing what they said, her lowered eyes were full of resentment.

Xu Rui, who was walking in front, asked Jiang Xiyu with a cold face, "Is the matter of Lanruo Temple related to Xu Rong?"

Jiang Xiyu said coldly with a blank expression, "My Lord, do you think that given your understanding of my mother, she could come up with such an idea?"

Zheng is a woman who looks strong but is actually weak, and Xu Rui certainly understands her mother.

"Why did Xu Rong do this?"

Jiang Xiyu snorted contemptuously, "Why else? She was thinking about my dowry and your family property. It's a pity that the Marquis returned safely, leaving her with nothing."

There was a dangerous light in Xu Rui's deep eyes. "I will investigate everything."

Jiang Xiyu glanced at him and said calmly, "Xu Rong is your biological sister. If the truth is truly revealed, how does the Marquis intend to deal with her?"

Xu Rui didn't respond, but his face looked very bad.

Jiang Xiyu turned her head and looked forward, but her eyes were full of coldness.

Led by the eunuchs in the palace, they quickly arrived at Shanglin Palace where the celebration banquet was held. When they arrived, almost all the civil and military officials and royal relatives were present.

When Xu Rui brought Jiang Xiyu into the hall, he instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Originally, everyone's attention was focused on Xu Rui. They seemed very curious about how someone who had died on the battlefield suddenly came back alive.

But when they saw Jiang Xiyu beside Xu Rui, everyone was instantly amazed.

All the men stared blankly at Jiang Xiyu who was walking on the light. They were unconsciously attracted by her charming and enchanting appearance, especially the phoenix flower on her forehead, which seemed to have a different charm.

When the women saw how beautiful Jiang Xiyu was, they couldn't help but look at the people around them, or feel jealous in their hearts.

But when we think that Xu Rui is still alive, everyone feels lucky.

The wife of Marquis Yonglin was rarely seen going out before, and she rarely attended such banquets. They almost forgot that she was once known as the most beautiful woman in Kyoto.

Fortunately, Xu Rui did not die, otherwise the women in Kyoto would have felt a great sense of crisis.

Officials who were familiar with Xu Rui came forward to congratulate him when they saw him. "Congratulations, Lord Marquis! Congratulations, Lord Marquis, for successfully repelling those barbarians from the north."

Xu Rui smiled and said modestly, "It's all thanks to Your Majesty. If it weren't for the troops Your Majesty gave me, I wouldn't have been able to repel them so quickly."

"This time, the Marquis has defeated the Northern Territory. His Majesty will surely reward you handsomely."

Xu Rui smiled and remained silent. In such an occasion, it would be a big taboo to casually speculate on Emperor Yun's intentions.

After exchanging a few simple greetings with them, Xu Rui took the entire Yonglin Marquisate family to sit in their seats.

Because the title of Yonglin Marquis was not low, and he had won the battle and came back from the dead, their position was very close to the first place, just diagonally opposite Gulin.

Gulin sat in the first seat on the left. As the only uncle of the current emperor who had not been banished to his fiefdom, naturally no one dared to compete with him for the position on the left.

Gulin sat alone, drinking by himself, and seemed indifferent to the officials who came to him to flatter him.

Wuyi, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but feel frightened when he saw him drinking one glass after another.

Gulin had just had an attack of cold poison a few days ago. Normally, after the attack of cold poison, his body would be very weak and need rest, but now he is drinking like this. It seems that he doesn't even want to live anymore.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

Just when the hall was bustling with activity, the eunuch's high and sharp voice was heard outside.

Everyone's face turned serious, and everyone stood up to welcome him, except Gulin who was still sitting there drinking.

Afterwards, Emperor Yun, dressed in yellow clothes and with his hair tied with a golden crown, looked to be in his twenties, but with the majesty of a high position and innate nobility, he exuded the aura of a king that shook the world.

Behind him followed four elegantly dressed concubines and the imperial concubine, who entered the hall with him.

When Emperor Yun Gu Wei passed by Xu Rui, he smiled in his direction. When his eyes fell on Gu Lin who was sitting in the first seat on the left, a hint of surprise flashed in Gu Wei's deep eyes, and he subconsciously glanced at the imperial concubine beside him.

The imperial concubine looked straight ahead, seemingly not noticing Gu Wei's gaze.

Gu Wei led the imperial concubine and the other four concubines directly to the jade steps. The imperial concubine sat next to him, and the other four concubines sat on both sides of him.

"Your Majesty, we pay our respects to you. Long live Your Majesty!" All the ministers knelt down and saluted towards the ancient curtain.

Gu Wei smiled at everyone and said, "No need to be polite, everyone. Today is a celebration banquet, so there is no need to be formal."

All the ministers congratulated in unison, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on your great victory over the Northern Territory. May Heaven bless the Yun Dynasty and may it live forever!"

Gu Wei smiled happily and waved to everyone, "Congratulations everyone, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After everyone sat down, Jiang Xiyu raised her eyes and glanced at the ancient curtain on the dragon throne.

Emperor Yun is about the same age as Gulin. He is handsome and exudes nobility. Although he is young, his eyes are deep.

However, if Emperor Yun was not shrewd, he, who was neither the eldest nor the legitimate son, would not have been able to stand out among his brothers, successfully take the lead and ascend to the throne.

The ancient curtain announced the start of the celebration banquet, and singers and dancers entered one after another, and the hall soon became lively.

Everyone was toasting and enjoying the singing and dancing, enjoying the peace and prosperity that followed this great victory.

Everyone in the hall was smiling, except for one person who looked cold and frosty, which was totally out of tune with the atmosphere today.

Gu Wei looked at Gu Lin with a deep gaze, "Uncle Emperor always likes quietness, why are you so interested in attending the celebration banquet today?"

As soon as Gu Wei said this, everyone looked at Gulin curiously.

You know, Gulin has been ill for many years, so he rarely attends banquets. Why did he suddenly come to the celebration banquet today?

Gulin drank a glass of wine before looking up and saying, "The Yun Dynasty has defeated the Northern Territory. It's such a joyous occasion, so naturally I have to join in the celebration."

"Well said," Gu Wei praised. "The war between Yunchao and the North has dragged on for three months. Now that we've finally received victory news, it's truly a cause for celebration."

Gu Wei said and turned to Xu Rui, "Xu Rui."

Because Xu Rui had served as a follower of the emperor, Gu Wei had always regarded Xu Rui as his confidant and was very trustworthy and close to him, so he called him by his name directly at this moment.
