On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

The treasures in the backyard of the Jiuzhongxian Restaurant were being transported to the palace one by one on ox carts.

At the palace gate, Gu Yunting and his son saw the endless convoy and their hearts were bleeding.

"Lin Zhen... I must turn you into a human pig to relieve the hatred in my heart!" Gu Beichen's eyes were black and blue, and there was a circle of white silk wrapped around his nose. Blood was flowing out of his nostrils, staining the white silk red, and he looked extremely miserable.

Gu Zhongman was still kneeling on the stone floor at the palace gate. After being hungry for a day and a night, he felt dizzy and his body was shaky.

“Minister Gu!” Seeing Gu Yunting arrive in person, he crawled over, tears in his old eyes: “Minister Gu, save me!”

Gu Yunting also felt a sense of grief, and took Gu Zhongman's trembling hands and said, "Old Gu, don't worry, everything will be fine soon."

"really?"

"I will never let you become a victim of this struggle. You should kneel here for now. Once these treasures are brought into the palace, you can go and see His Majesty."

Gu Zhongman looked at the countless ox carts queuing up to enter the palace, and was so moved that he bowed down to Gu Yunting.

"I have no way of repaying Prime Minister Gu's kindness!"

"Yes." Gu Yunting took a deep breath and looked towards the palace gate with high morale: "Beichen, let's go and ask His Majesty for an explanation."

......

In the council hall, Murong Yan, dressed in a majestic dragon robe, was reviewing memorials.

Daqian is located in the north and borders nomadic peoples.

Its territory extends to Liaoxi in the east, Taihang in the west, and Mount Tai in the south. Among the seven countries, it has the smallest area, the weakest national strength, and the weakest influence, but it has the largest population.

The area is only the size of a palm, but the population is over ten million.

This is almost a piece of fat meat in the eyes of every country, and they all want to swallow it in one bite.

Therefore, Murong Yan has a lot to think about every day.

Some time ago, Gu Beichen gave her advice, increased commercial taxes, and strengthened border defenses, which made Murong Yan very happy.

Gu Beichen was promoted to the position of judge of the Hanlin Academy and academician of the Imperial Academy, which was equivalent to Murong Yan's personal military advisor, and he was also granted the power to supervise all officials.

Such a senior official who was favored by the emperor suddenly shamelessly committed adultery with the young lady of the Regent's Palace.

How could Murong Yan not be disappointed?

"Oh." Murong Yan sighed softly and rubbed her sore temples with the wolf-hair brush.

The personal maid Huanhuan came over and served a cup of tea.

"Your Majesty, are you still worried about Gu Beichen?"

"No." Murong Yan smiled slightly when she mentioned Gu Beichen. "Beichen is very talented. I heard that he has never married since he came of age because he loves Liu Shuyao so much that he even broke into the palace to steal her away. I really admire this kind of man who never leaves her and values ​​love and loyalty."

"I just can't understand how a corrupt official like Gu Yunting, who has no moral integrity, could raise a man as outstanding as Beichen. What a pity, what a shame."

Huanhuan said, "It's true that Prime Minister Gu is corrupt, but it's also true that he's loyal to His Majesty. Unlike the Regent, who clings to military power at such an old age, he's truly despicable."

Thinking of Gu Beichen's confident smile, even Huanhuan was a little intoxicated.

Who doesn’t like a domineering CEO who is talented, handsome and has a good family?

Murong Yan chuckled softly: "Oh, what do you know as a maid from the deep palace? Go and do your business."

"Yes."

Huanhuan has served Murong Yan for twenty years. The two grew up together and are as close as sisters. Huanhuan is also the only person who knows Murong Yan's true identity.

Therefore, Murong Yan rarely blamed her.

At this time, the eunuch came from outside to pass on the message.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Gu and Judge Gu request an audience."

"Is President Gu here too?" Huanhuan was so surprised that her eyes were full of stars.

Murong Yan was also very happy. For some reason, she just couldn't dislike Gu Beichen. But thinking about what had happened in the past two days, she deliberately said with a fierce face: "Oh, I just came here because of Gu Zhongman's matter."

"Well, let them in."

"Yes!"

"Summon Gu Yunting and Gu Beichen to the palace for an audience!"

The father and son were filled with anger and immediately went into the hall after hearing what was said.

They came to the dragon table and knelt down together.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the Emperor."

"Well, let's get flat."

"..."

Neither Gu Yunting nor Gu Beichen stood up, still bowing and kneeling on the ground.

Murong Yan put down the work in her hands, looked up, and saw Gu Beichen's head wrapped like a mummy.

For some reason, her heart ached for a moment, and then she asked sternly, "Beichen, what happened to your face? Who hit you?"

Gu Yunting cried out, tears streaming down his face: "Your Majesty!! Wuuwuwu..."

"Lin Zhen, relying on the support of the Prince Regent, brought a few playboys to beat Beichen in broad daylight!"

Murong Yan was very concerned about Gu Beichen: "Beichen, is this true?"

"Yes..."

"Bang! This is outrageous!" Murong Yan slammed the table and stood up. "Lin Zhenxian, your good grandson! He disregards rules and tramples on the law. Do you even have me in your eyes?"

"Someone come! Call Linzhen to the palace!"

......

The Regent's Palace, in a side courtyard.

Lin Zhen threw Zhang Li on the bed, then sat back at the round table to calm down.

This body is still too weak. I will gasp for breath after the slightest movement. I must practice hard until it stabilizes in the future.

Zhang Li still had a look of defiance on her face, and her eyes showed extremely strong struggle and resentment.

"Lin Zhen! You, as the prince of the royal palace, are bullying a weak woman like me. Do you still have any shame? Do you still have any dignity as a superior? Are all members of the Lin family like this?"

On the other hand, Lin Zhen seemed like a different person. He no longer had the cynicism and hostility he had half an hour ago. He even spoke calmly without turning his head.

"Zhang Li, I carried you away in front of everyone today. In less than a day, the whole city will know what happened between us. The reputation of the Gu family is far beyond the reach of a prostitute like you, so Gu Beichen will not choose a broken-hearted woman like you to be the shopkeeper again."

At this point, Lin Zhen said with some self-mockery: "Oh, and besides, he is now completely focused on my wife, so he won't like you. Don't even dream of becoming the rich wife of the Gu family."

Zhang Li was a little surprised.

She had only met Lin Zhen a few times before, and much of the information about him was learned through rumors.

But the current Lin Zhen is different from the playboy in the rumors. He is now like a oriole watching the mantis and cicada, a conspirator.

Zhang Li also calmed down, lying on the bed and asked in an indecent posture: "What do you want?"

"I admire your abilities and want to use you for my own benefit." Lin Zhen turned around, supported his knees with his arms, and said condescendingly with the attitude of a winner.

"Zhang Li, a man who knows the current situation is a hero. If you follow me, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future. If you wish, I can even take you as my concubine, and transform you from a lowly merchant to a royal lady with a royal title."

"But if you choose to follow Gu Beichen, you will end up dead."

"You're a smart woman. I don't need to explain how to weigh the pros and cons. Think about it carefully."

After saying that, Lin Zhen stood up and left.

Zhang Li stared at his back with a depressed look and low mood, not knowing what she was thinking.
