On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Gu Yunting, dressed in proper court attire, walked in quickly and knelt before Murong Yan: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"I love your life."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Gu Yunting stood up, his heart pounding. He didn't know why Murong Yan suddenly called him over, but he had a feeling it couldn't be a good thing.

Turning her gaze towards the field, Gu Yunting's solitary figure stood out. Murong Yan asked in surprise, "Prime Minister Gu, where is Judge Gu?"

Damn it, it used to be called Beichen, but now it’s just called the official title.

Is he planning to give up on the Gu family completely?

Gu Yunting was about to explain when he saw Murong Wushe standing calmly beside Murong Yan. He answered calmly, "Your Majesty, Judge Gu was unable to come due to injury."

Murong Yan asked for some unknown reason: "Why is he injured again?"

Gu Yunting gritted his teeth in anger after hearing this.

What does "again" mean?

Apart from the fight with Lin Zhen, when has my son ever been injured?

Murong Wushe smiled like a proud bat, his deep voice carrying an indescribable cunning: "Haha, I don't know how Gu Yuanpan provoked the people of Tiandao and was nearly killed. Fortunately, this old slave intervened and saved him."

Gu Yunting's heart skipped a beat when he heard this!

Fuck you, you old eunuch, you’re trying to trick me!

Didn’t we agree to keep it a secret and not let His Majesty know?

As expected, Murong Yan's brows knitted tightly together. "What? Heaven's Way?"

Murong Wushe pretended to hesitate, but a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He slowly said, "That's right. I went there too late and didn't hear everything. It seems that Gu Yuanpan had a conflict with the Thunder Shadow Fairy, one of the Twelve Heavenly Immortals, and was nearly killed..."

Murong Wushe poured out everything he had seen and heard today, like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

It turned out that this morning Murong Wushe was sent by Murong Yan to convey an imperial edict. Because he was an angel in the palace, no one dared to stop him when he entered the door. The gatekeeper was even more respectful and led him directly to the backyard.

But he found that there was no one in the backyard, so he took him to Gu Beichen's yard. Only then did he find that Gu Beichen's yard was surrounded by white-robed followers.

The servant was about to cry out in surprise when Murong Wushe struck him on the back of the head with a swift, knife-like blow, knocking him unconscious. He then leaped to the back of the study like a bat and stood at the window, listening to the conversation between Gu Beichen and the Thunder Shadow Fairy.

However, he was still too late and only caught a few vague words intermittently, such as "assassinating the emperor" and "letting Gu Beichen be the master of the world". He naturally did not dare to reveal these thrilling contents openly in the hall, and only mentioned lightly that he saved Gu Beichen's life.

How could Murong Yan have foreseen that Gu Beichen would dare to secretly collude with the Heavenly Dao? Initially, she thought it was just a common murder case, targeting the Prime Minister's son. She was instantly enraged and slammed her palm down on the Dragon Table.

"These civil organizations are too brazen. They dared to assassinate important officials in broad daylight! I will never let them off lightly!"

Seeing that Murong Wushe's words were appropriate, Gu Yunting took the opportunity to back down and said, "Your Majesty! Beichen has been on their radar since he captured a few Tiandao assassins a while ago, but Beichen is fine."

"This is outrageous..." Seeing that Murong Yan was about to issue some idiotic decree, Murong Wushe quickly interrupted, "Your Majesty, the Heavenly Dao has been established for a long time and cannot be easily eradicated. Moreover, we do not have enough troops to arrest people among the people, which would only increase their panic. It is better to put this matter aside for now."

"Hmm." Murong Yan nodded with a deep gaze and looked at Gu Yunting: "Since Judge Gu is fine, let's put this matter aside for now. I called you here today to ask you about the Liaodong flood."

Murong Yan picked up the memorial in her hand and said to Gu Yunting as she read it, "Thanks to Judge Gu's guidance, this flood was handled quite well. I intend to reward those local officials who have made contributions. What suggestions do you have?"

what?

Gu Yunting himself was confused.

Reward those corrupt officials?

Why don't you just reward me?

Without me, how could they have embezzled so much money?

"I dare not make any rash judgments. Your Majesty will make the final decision." In the past, Murong Yan would have pressed the issue further, for she had complete faith in the Gu family. However, today, she nodded unusually gently, agreeing to the matter without the slightest hesitation.

"In that case, you may withdraw first."

"This... As you command, I'll take my leave." Gu Yunting couldn't help but feel surprised.

I had already prepared my excuses, but you just allowed me to leave?

Then why did you call me here?

Are you going to give me a hard time?

Gu Yunting cursed a thousand times in his mind, but he still retreated obediently.

After his figure disappeared through the door, Murong Yan's face instantly became as solemn as ice, and her eyes cast a sharp gaze at Murong Wushe: "Why did you interrupt me so rashly just now?"

Murong Wushe lowered his head, his tone filled with unconcealed awe, "Your Majesty, this matter is far from as simple as I've said. I'm just worried about him being there, so I can't speak frankly. In fact, I've heard a few things."

So Murong Wushe told the subsequent conversation between Gu Beichen and Leiying Fairy, about killing Lin Zhen, killing the emperor, killing all the emperors of China and then letting Gu Beichen become the master of the world.

Upon hearing this, Murong Yan's body shook, anger surged, and she felt as if she was wrapped in ice and flames at the same time, trembling continuously.

"Gu Beichen...how dare you be so rebellious as a court official to collaborate with the Heavenly Dao! Your father, Gu Yunting, doesn't even speak a single truth. Your Gu family is becoming less and less worthy of my trust."

"Tongueless!"

"exist."

"Send someone to keep a close eye on the Gu family, and have someone from the Ministry of Personnel come to the palace to see me."

"Yes."

Murong Wushe was about to turn and leave when a huge smile surfaced in Murong Yan's mind. That smile, laced with a hint of cunning and uninhibitedness, with a hint of slightly irritating frivolity, strangely gave rise to an inexplicable longing in her heart to meet the owner of that smile again.

So she called out to Murong Wushe again: "Wait!"

"Let Lin Zhen enter the palace as well."

......

Hero Casino.

Lin Zhen returned to Zhang Li's bedroom with a grim face, looking very worried.

Zhang Li sat stiffly in the chair, not daring to move her neck. She stared straight ahead and asked, "Prince, has the assassin confessed?"

Lin Zhen shook his head.

"No, he only said that he was sent by the Thunder Shadow Fairy and he didn't know the employer behind him."

"Ah? Even the prince can't figure it out, so he really doesn't know."

Lin Zhen sneered: "Oh, even if he didn't say it, I can guess who it is, but I just don't have any evidence."

"Who do you think it will be, Prince?"

"Heh, who else do you think it could be besides the Gu family?"
