Before Zhao Yan finished speaking, a bearded middle-aged man trotted along the path she had just walked and came to her, panting and cupping his hands towards her
Your Majesty, please take a look at the matter we just discussed."
"Just do what you said," Zhao Yan responded.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After sending the bearded middle-aged man away, Zhao Yan's eyes fell on Gu Xu again.
"Tell me, what happened just now"
Gu Xu could already see at this time that she temporarily dropped her hand after hearing that something happened to her. On official business, he hurried to his side.
This made him secretly moved.
"Don't do this next time," he advised. "The king should put state affairs first. Especially in the past few days when you have just ascended the throne, you must not make any mistakes.
"I can handle these problems well on my own.
"If you delay important things because of me, I am afraid others will say that I am flattering the king and harming the country and the people."
"I only want beauty, regardless of the country." Zhao Yan chuckled lightly and looked at him with meaningful eyes, "Gu Meiren, even if I really want to be a foolish king who is greedy for beauty and harms the country, I still need you to agree to be the evil concubine who will harm the country."
Gu Xu coughed dryly and avoided her eyes, not wanting to discuss this topic with her again.
Then he pointed to the teapot containing the poisonous tea and said, "The little maid just sent this pot of tea to my room in your name."
"Tea It contains a colorless, odorless and imperceptible poison.
"You should remember that after I came back from Beiming, I mastered the ability to deduce fortune. Not only can I tell others' fortunes, but I can also clearly foresee the crisis that is about to happen to me."
p>As soon as Gu Xu finished speaking, another guard in black hurriedly came to their side, bowed to Zhao Yan and said, "Your Majesty, the identity of the perpetrator has been found.
"Her ancestral home is in the Hedong Province of Daqi. Her ancestors came to Youzhou with their family to avoid taxes and labor. After working as a gangster for decades, I only recently got my household registration."
Hearing the words of the black-clothed guard, Gu Xu couldn't help but sigh silently. In order to put the blame on Da Qi, the man behind the scenes went so far as to I really found someone to put on a show.
“Have you ever found out who was behind her?” Zhao Yan asked.
“Sorry, Your Majesty. Incompetent," the guard responded, "The mastermind seems to have put a sealing spell on her. As long as she is asked relevant questions, she will instantly lose the ability to speak and become nothing but barking like an animal. ”
“Actually, I have roughly guessed who is behind the scenes. "At this time, Gu Xu suddenly said.
"Who is it?" Zhao Yan asked.
Gu Xu did not say anything immediately, but glanced around with his eyes.
Zhao Yan instantly understood what he meant.The people there are many and mixed, so it is inconvenient to talk too much.
“You don’t have to say it directly,” she said, “just use your fingers to write in the palm of my hand.” Passed his hand in front of Gu Xu.
Gu Xu looked at her strangely.
In fact, his original intention just now was to hint Zhao Yan to change the place to speak, or to cast some spells to block the sound and spiritual perception.
Zhao Yan's behavior at this moment was obviously beyond his expectation, making him wonder if the other party was trying to tease him again.
But Zhao Yan’s eyes were so serious that he could not find any evidence at all.
So he smiled helplessly, grabbed the soft white hand, and traced the words "Zhao Changqi" in her hand.
Zhao Yan raised her head slightly and narrowed her eyes.
Her expression at this moment was like a cat that was satisfied with having its neck scratched.
When Gu Xu finished writing, her expression returned to seriousness. < /p>
“If not every child of the Zhao family needs to make an oath in front of the altar of the God of Fire, I really want to uproot them. ”
I have to say that Zhao Yan is really a magical woman. She can always complete the identity transformation between a charming fairy and a majestic monarch in the blink of an eye.
"Don't worry," Gu Xu said softly, "You have just ascended the throne recently and your foundation is not stable. If you act rashly, you may alert the enemy and cause adverse effects.
"Anyway, the person they want to kill is me.
"Just leave this matter to me. "
"You?" Zhao Yan frowned, "With your little cultivation, can you really deal with them?"
"There is something I forgot to tell you. "Gu Xu smiled.
"What's the matter?"
"Look at me. ”
Zhao Yan looked into his eyes with some confusion.
At this moment, she clearly felt that the blood power in her body suddenly lost control and became more and more... The weaker it is, it may disappear completely at any time.
But it will return to its original state after a few seconds, as if it is all just her illusion.
“You can control the power of our blood. "
"This is an ability I realized when I went to the Fire Temple not long ago," Gu Xu nodded, "In addition to the power of blood, it can also affect the power gained by the priests through faith. "
"No wonder those priests have been so submissive and obedient in front of you recently," Zhao Yan glanced at him sideways, "So now, our family's wealth and life are all in You are under control
"Should I find an opportunity to get rid of you, so that I will not be threatened by you in the future, become your slave, and be manipulated by you?""Instigating things"
Gu Xu knew she was joking.
He immediately lowered his head and pretended to be submissive and said, "I don't dare to have such thoughts about the king." "
"I guess you don't have the courage either. "Zhao Yan said with a smile.
As she spoke, she looked at his handsome face carefully, and felt that Gu Xu was really interesting. He was thoughtful and resourceful when dealing with enemies, but he was a coward in front of her. He was stupid and stupid, and sometimes I couldn't figure out whether he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid.
But maybe it was precisely because of this that she became strongly interested in him and tried every means to find him. He caught her.
If he was as frivolous and casual as other young men, she wouldn't have thought highly of him at all.
It would have been better if I had met him earlier. . Zhao Yan said silently in her heart.
"Go ahead," after a brief silence, she reached out and patted his shoulder, "I'm here waiting for your good news. If you encounter trouble that cannot be solved, you must seek help in time and don't show off. ”
Gu Xu smiled and said, “Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I’m the best at hugging you when things get tough.” "
"Whose thigh do you want to hug?" Zhao Yan folded her hands in front of her chest, narrowed her eyes, and looked at him with a threatening look, "How to hug her?"
This At this moment, her fiery red clothes fluttered gently in the slits of her robe, and her long white legs were looming.
Gu Xu looked away, speechless for a moment.
