They are really not NPCs, please stop it, lady.

"And the dragon vein can only be better pried open when it is unstable!"

"But due to the unstable dragon vein, the national fortune will inevitably dissipate a lot, which is definitely not enough. Therefore, we need to pry open the dragon vein and then eliminate these disasters to increase the national fortune, and then reap the benefits..."

Right, everything is right!

Gu Nian thought back to what she had seen, experienced, and done along the way. Wasn’t it the same as what she said!

When he came, Daqian was exactly as she described, and it could be said that all five poisons were present.

At this time, the dragon vein will inevitably become extremely unstable and can be easily pried open.

After the other party had pried open the dragon vein, Gu Nian solved these problems one by one, adding more national fortune. This way, the other party could reap more national fortune.

So, it was clear that I was being plotted against?

No, that's not right. It shouldn't be like that.

Those princes and nobles who have remained silent are the real backup!

When things in Daqian get out of control, they will jump out and solve everything.

Or, were those so-called court struggles and rebellions simply instigated by those princes at the instigation of someone?

Although this would require many years for Daqian to recuperate and consolidate the country's destiny.

But it is undoubtedly very safe!

As for Gu Nian's arrival, it should just be an accident.

But the other party took advantage of this accident and shortened the time by several years!

They all match up, that’s it!

At this moment, Gu Nian understood everything.

But why did the other party go to so much trouble?

You can't just want to destroy Daqian, right?

Since the other party wants to obtain the dragon vein so much, the effect of the dragon vein is the most important!

"What is the use of Dragon Vein National Fortune?"

Gu Nian asked again.

"Dragon veins and dragon energy can increase one's cultivation, and the role of national destiny is similar to that of destiny, but because it affects millions of people, the effect is even stronger than that of destiny."

The mature and charming Taoist nun replied,

"You know about Destiny's Child. This is like an enhanced version of Destiny's Child."

"And if one devours the Dragon Vein's national destiny, if one's basic cultivation is sufficient, one is likely to become an immortal directly."

Immortal!

Gu Nian was shocked and completely understood the other party's plan.

The other party's purpose is already very clear. The key now is to find the person who did all this.

Although whether the other party wants to become an immortal has nothing to do with Gu Nian.

But Gu Nian didn't like the other party's behavior of sacrificing an entire dynasty in order to become an immortal.

He is so cruel and cruel. If he really becomes an immortal, I am afraid that the whole world will be poisoned by him.

After all, no one has ever stipulated that the True Immortal is the strongest, and there may be higher realms above it.

This time, the other party is willing to sacrifice the entire dynasty in order to become an immortal, but what about next time?

Can that person sacrifice the entire world in pursuit of a higher realm?

By then, it will concern everyone.

Gu Nian was confident that his wife was invincible. Even if they were both true immortals, his wife could definitely beat the other one.

But if possible, there is no need to find an opponent for your wife, right?

and so.

Gu Nian has made up his mind to stop the other party.

At this moment, Gu Nian already had a rough guess in his mind, but because this guess was too outrageous, Gu Nian was not too sure.

He still needs further confirmation.

The first people Gu Nian found were the sisters Wu Ningdong and Wu Chunmu.

"Tell me more about the misunderstandings and conflicts between you sisters."

Without giving the two a chance to bicker, Gu Nian spoke directly.

Hear this.

Neither Wu Chunmu nor Wu Ningdong quite understood what Gu Nian was trying to do.

Are you bored and want to listen to it to relieve your boredom?

It doesn't seem like it.

Gu Nian looked very serious.

But if you want to say it is useful, what effect can the things between the two of them have?

I really don't understand.

But since Gu Nian wanted to hear it, the two of them didn't hesitate and told him everything directly.

"So, it wasn't you who let Wu Ningdong into the palace, right?"

Gu Nian had heard it once before, and this time he just wanted to confirm it again, and then he directly raised his doubts.

"Of course not. I was already in control of the situation at the time. How could I let my sister enter the palace?"

Wu Chunmu looked at Wu Ningdong helplessly.

"Even though we two sisters have always been at odds, she is my sister after all. How could I possibly watch her suffer like this?"

Therefore, this decree to enter the palace must have been issued by someone else, and when it was conveyed to the Wu family, it was conveyed in the name of Wu Chunmu.

And the person Gu Nian could think of who could do this was only one!

Then, Gu Nian asked again,

"It wasn't you who gave the order to hunt down Wu Ningdong, right?"

"That's natural."

Wu Chunmu felt even more helpless now.

"I just had Ningdong brought back, and I specifically told them not to harm her in any way."

"I just want to control the little prince. I'm not so cruel as to not even let go of my own sister and a baby."

"Were all the people you used at that time from the palace?"

Gu Nian continued to ask.

"Of course it is. Apart from the people in the palace, I cannot mobilize anyone else."

Wu Chunmu said helplessly.

At that time, the court was too complicated and the struggle for power was too fierce, so she really could not control people outside the palace.

"Then, besides you, who else can command the masters in the palace?"

Gu Nian finally asked a very crucial question.

"If that's the case, then there seems to be no one else."

Wu Chunmu thought for a moment and said to Gu Nian,

"Even before the late emperor passed away, I had already begun to control the palace, and almost everyone in the palace was under my control."

"At that time, Qiyun had never thought that she would be promoted, so she naturally would not compete with me. By the time she got promoted, there was no room for her to interfere."

She did not hide anything from Gu Nian, who knew her very well, and told him everything she had done.

After thinking for a moment, she said,

"If the late emperor were still alive, he would be able to order those masters around, but now that the late emperor has passed away, how could he possibly command them? Don't you think so?"

Wu Chunmu seemed to think his words were humorous and laughed twice.

however.

Looking at Gu Nian's increasingly solemn expression, she felt something was wrong and her laughter gradually stopped.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

After hesitating for a moment, Wu Chunmu asked.

This time, Gu Nian did not answer.

After Wu Chunmu and Wu Ningdong's explanation, Gu Nian had almost locked on that person.

The late emperor!

It must be the late emperor!

Although the late emperor has passed away, it is not impossible for him to fake his death.

As long as the emperor's cultivation is strong enough, then as long as he lies there and blocks all his aura, Wu Chunmu will not be able to find anything wrong with him even if he stands in front of him.

So, it really is the late emperor?

The late emperor was able to order his brothers around.

After those princes and nobles cooperated, although Daqian was gone, and even the titles of princes and nobles were gone, they could have a brother who was a true immortal, which was naturally much better than being a prince and noble.

Think about it carefully, why did the late emperor allow the previous prime minister to cultivate disciples in this way?

Isn’t it because he wants to wait until he fakes his own death and then cause chaos in Daqian!

Whether it was letting Wu Ningdong into the palace or hunting Wu Ningdong down, these were things that only the late emperor could do.

Now it all makes sense.

I have to say, this late emperor was really cunning. He could actually plan to this extent, laying out all the clues and laying out plans for many years, just for the illusory goal of becoming an immortal?

Gu Nian asked himself, he couldn't do that.

Furthermore, in order to use Gu Nian and let Gu Nian help him solve the problem, he could actually watch his queen send his daughter away, and then the queen wanted to send himself away.

Although it didn't succeed, this kind of patience is truly amazing!

Although it has been almost confirmed, Gu Nian still has one last question that he wants to confirm.

He called Ji Qiyun again and asked seriously,

"Did you watch your father die?"

"No, but I personally saw my father's coffin being sealed and buried in the ancestral mausoleum."

Ji Qiyun blinked and asked curiously,

"Why did you suddenly think of asking this, Mr. Gu?"

"Oh, so it's in the ancestral tomb."

Gu Nian chuckled and finally determined the other party's position.

It matched what the charming Taoist nun in my family said.

She had told Gu Nian before that the location of the dragon vein should be where the ancestral tomb is!

After faking his death, the late emperor entered the ancestral mausoleum to practice in seclusion, controlling everything and waiting for the end of Daqian!

"If I told you that your father is still alive, what would you think?"

Gu Nian looked at Ji Qiyun with a complicated expression.

"If I told you that all this chaos in Daqian was planned by your father, what would you think?"

ha?

What is this all about?

Ji Qiyun looked confused and didn't understand what Gu Nian said at all.
