On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Murong Wushe gently waved his seemingly weightless whisk, and a sophisticated and sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

That smile looked particularly strange on his wrinkled face. "Hahaha, Minister Gu, you are so polite. Minister Gu is really too polite. I am just an errand boy and I didn't expect to encounter such a lively scene."

Gu Yunting frowned, confusion flashing in his eyes.

Could it be that His Majesty wants to see me?

He hasn't summoned me for a long time. What happened today?

For some reason, Gu Yunting always had a bad feeling.

Even though I've had a lot of ominous premonitions lately.

"Oh? Has His Majesty issued an order?"

"That is precisely the case. Your Majesty urgently summons Prime Minister Gu and Court Judge Gu to the palace immediately. However, considering Court Judge Gu is currently seriously injured and unable to move, I request that only Prime Minister Gu go as soon as possible."

"Then I'll change my clothes immediately and go with you."

"Thank you, Prime Minister Gu, hehe." Murong Wushe's smile always gave people a chilling feeling. Every time Gu Yunting saw him, he would feel uncomfortable all over.

But he never expected that this seemingly humble eunuch was actually a master who could slap the Thunder Shadow Fairy away with one palm!

It seems that the late emperor still left many tricks for Your Majesty.

Gu Yunting raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and turned his gaze to Gu Nanshan who had just stepped into the doorway, and ordered: "Nanshan, the doctors at home are useless. You must find the best doctor immediately. Beichen's safety cannot afford any mistakes. As for this witch..."

His eyes flashed, and he pointed at the Thunder Shadow Fairy beside him: "Tie her up and lock her up in the side room. I will come back and deal with her myself."

"Yes." Gu Nanshan nodded slightly, and a hint of resentment disappeared in his eyes in an instant.

......

Murong Yan has been in a particularly good mood recently.

One reason was that the Hero Casino's first month's dividend had arrived as promised, a full four carriages of silver ingots.

This is ten thousand taels!

For her, who usually calls herself a "big pauper", this is like a windfall from heaven, enough to make those unattainable dreams and plans in her heart take root quietly.

Second, good news also came from Liaodong.

The local officials' replies were filled with the joy of victory - the disaster had been properly dealt with, and the people spontaneously gathered by the canal, kneeling in gratitude and shouting "Long live the emperor." The entire area seemed to be shrouded in a warm and pious power, and hymns of praise for the emperor's grace echoed everywhere.

Such news would undoubtedly touch the emperor's heart the most. Any monarch who heard it would probably be very pleased.

However, the palace is deep, the walls are high, the truth is often hidden by layers of curtains. Whether those hymns from afar are sincere gratitude or empty words to whitewash the situation is like flowers in the mist or the moon in the water, it is difficult to get a full picture.

Many court officials privately said that Murong Yan was naive, dull, and even stupid.

Lin Zhen also deeply agreed with this, but Lin Zhen knew very well that there was a reason for her stupidity.

In this book, she didn't want to be emperor at first, but because all the princes and relatives died, the late emperor had no choice but to put the heavy crown on her head.

Before this, she was just a carefree, innocent little princess in the palace, who spent her days with flowers and birds, and was unconcerned with worldly affairs.

However, on the eve of her ascension to the throne, a sudden announcement of "the princess' death" shattered her past like a thunderclap. From that day on, she changed from Murong Yan to Murong Fu, the emperor's youngest son.

This poor woman transformed from a carefree princess into an emperor shouldering the responsibility of the world overnight.

She knew little about the intricate and turbulent rules of officialdom, had never touched upon the bitterness and suffering of ordinary people, and was even more ignorant of the subtleties of human nature and the changing situation.

She only remembered that before the late emperor died, he asked her to pay close attention to the Lin family, take every step carefully, gradually take the military power into her pocket, and use this as a cornerstone to work hand in hand with the Gu family. After the thorn in her side, the Lin family, was removed and the military power was in her hands, she could then cleverly check and balance the Gu family.

The idea is good and the thinking is fine.

But Murong Yan now feels that the Lin family is much more reliable than the Gu family. At least Lin Zhen now acts in an upright manner and never does anything that is against the law of nature. He is not like Gu Beichen, who looks elegant but is actually cruel and ruthless, full of evil intentions, and is very annoying.

What made Murong Yan most happy was that through Lian Qiang, she had thoroughly investigated more than a dozen officials.

It can be said that you don’t know until you check, and you’ll be shocked when you do.

Among these officials, no matter whether they are high-ranking or low-ranking, any one of them is richer than her. How can this not make her furious?

But she understood that it was impossible to kill all the officials at the moment, otherwise the operation of the court would be paralyzed.

That's why she forced officials to pay back all their illegal gains, and thus she accumulated a lot of wealth during this period.

Last night, the Hundred Cavalry Division reported that Liu Hanyang had escaped with his entire family. Murong Yan was so angry that she immediately sent the Hundred Cavalry Division to chase them day and night, but there has been no news until now.

In addition, Lian Qiang died. Tan Yong's report said that he had bitten his tongue to commit suicide. Murong Yan did not suspect anything after hearing this and immediately ordered to strengthen the guard of Suo Liwen to prevent such a thing from happening again.

Because she wanted to use this last high-ranking official to deprive more officials of their money.

She is now somewhat addicted to robbing money.

At this moment, Murong Yan was sitting in the council hall, reviewing a mountain of memorials. Occasionally, she would look out the window and turn to ask Huanhuan beside her, "Why hasn't Wushe come back yet?"

"Should I send someone to urge them?" "Forget it, Wushe has always been cautious. I guess something has delayed him."

Deep within the palace, towering ancient trees lined the Imperial Forest Road. Amidst the mottled shadows, Gu Yunting hesitated. After much hesitation, he finally called out to Murong Wushe, who was leading the group. "Mr. Wushe."

Murong Wushe stopped and heard what was said. He paused lightly and turned around with a gentle yet respectful smile on his face, as if he was not the one who had just killed someone.

"Oh? Is there something wrong with the Left Prime Minister?"

Gu Yunting felt a mixture of emotions. He looked at the seemingly harmless but actually hidden inner court steward and said cautiously, "I am quite uneasy. I wonder why His Majesty has urgently summoned me this time."

"Oh, hahaha, I don't know either."

Seeing his smile, Gu Yunting cursed in his heart.

Dirty eunuch!

You definitely know!

He thought so in his heart, but remained calm on the surface. He took out a silver cake from his sleeve and handed it over: "Please, Mr. Wushe..."

Before he could finish his words, Wushe pushed his hand back: "Minister Gu, this old servant really doesn't know."

"In that case, I won't embarrass you, sir. I just hope you won't tell anyone about the Heavenly Dao Demon Girl, okay?"

"Hahahaha, this old servant knows his limits, so there's no need to worry, Minister Gu."

"Huh." Gu Yunting let out a long sigh and smiled, inviting Wushe to continue moving forward.

In the council hall, Murong Yan was reading memorials with one hand supporting her beautiful hair, while Wushe walked in from outside the hall with small steps, bowing.

"Your Majesty, the Left Prime Minister is waiting outside the palace."

"Let him in."

"Yes! Xuan Zuo Xiang comes to see you."
