My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Chapter 143 Sister Is Busy

Gu Lan noticed Mu Yuyan's prolonged silence and looked at her with confusion.

"Yuyan, what's wrong?"

"N-nothing."

"You must be tired of standing. Go and rest for a while, my dear."

Gu Lan said with great concern. "I am somewhat tired of living..." Mu Yuyan pouted her small mouth and sighed in her heart.

However, regardless of the struggles, as the Grand Tutor had said, her identity was unavoidable. She had to change the perception, preparing for the time when she would completely reveal everything to Gu Lan.

"Master Gu, there's actually something I haven't told you."

After Mu Yuyan dissipated the heat from her rosy cheeks and collected her thoughts, her bright and clear eyes opened, and she began to speak slowly.

"What is it?"

"At the beginning, when I told you that I was wandering alone, it wasn't entirely true... I have a sister who, in her early years, entered the palace and is now serving as a court lady beside Your Majesty in the imperial city."

Mu Yuyan took out a letter. "She learned about my presence in the capital recently, so she contacted me."

Gu Lan glanced at the letter, which indeed had the official seal of the Great Jing Imperial City.

He nodded slightly but suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up.

"Yuyan, does your sister know about our family in Langzhou? Does she know that I participated in the imperial examination?"

"Ah... yes! She has always known about my whereabouts."

Mu Yuyan blinked her beautiful eyes and nodded like a little chicken.

"I see!"

Gu Lan suddenly understood. Muttering to himself, he said, "Almost all the ministers in the court have inquired, and no one above the fourth rank has any connection with the Gu family. It turns out we overlooked the line of court ladies in the imperial court..."

Of course, Mu Yuyan knew what he was suspecting. She pursed her lips and innocently said, "Darling, what's the matter with 'I see'?"

Gu Lan waved his hand.

"Nothing... By the way, does your sister have the opportunity to leave the palace? After all, she's your family; we should meet and pay our respects."

Because this family member was fictional, when Mu Yuyan heard Gu Lan's question, she felt a strange sensation from being called "sister" by him.

Well... calling her "sister" like that felt kind of ticklish and comfortable!

"Sister is busy."

Mu Yuyan remembered the grudge she had just settled and took advantage of her husband quietly. She smiled like a fox and said, "My sister is very busy in the palace and probably doesn't have the leisure to come out and see you. But..."

"But what?"

Experience tales at empire

"But if Master Gu is summoned to the palace, maybe you'll have the chance to meet her!"

Mu Yuyan smiled like a little fox.

Entering the palace first would provide an opportunity to receive rewards and titles, rather than relying solely on changing his perception through sweet pillow talk. That way was too slow!

Upon hearing this, Gu Lan was taken aback, then smiled, "If your sister is busy, forget it. Let's have dinner first, my dear..."

Mu Yuyan: (????)

Every time you mention the female Emperor, you have no reaction. Sooner or later, I'll take you into the palace!

Gu Lan was unaware of his wife's somewhat "sinister" thoughts, smiling as he plated the stir-fried meat with Chaos-Origin Fruit.

The two returned to the main hall.

The family sat down for dinner.

Most of the Chaos-Origin Fruit was served in Mu Yuyan's bowl by Gu Lan. She felt a bit full, and she would have to do some post-dinner exercises...

After dinner.

Gu Residence, bedroom.

Mu Yuyan changed into a cloud-patterned gauze dress and lay on the fragrant couch. Her graceful figure, partially veiled in light gauze, was alluring. Despite the desire to burst into nosebleeds, her ethereal and unworldly temperament couldn't be hidden, leaving people in awe and admiration, unable to desecrate it.

Of course!

While others might not have a chance to indulge in fantasies, Gu Lan was currently...

One hour later.

A temporary ceasefire!

After all, with the pregnancy, one couldn't be as reckless as before. Even for the Sword Immortal, suffocation could lead to death.

Gu Lan took advantage of this moment to retrieve a folded piece of paper from his bosom. It was the confession obtained yesterday from the interrogation of the rapist conducted by Old Yang and the others.

Time was like water in a sponge, as long as one was willing to squeeze, it could always find a way through the cracks.

Mu Yuyan's delicate and beautiful face leaned over, silently leaning against Gu Lan's side. Her gaze fell attentively on the confession.

"Fengsu Street, east side, the second residence?"

"These rapists are actually a group, secretly training here... But the girls they abducted are taken away by other people. He doesn't know where they go..."

To abduct so many girls, there was a high probability that it was some evil cultivator trying to refine a cauldron. Gu Lan muttered, savoring the information within.

Mu Yuyan, seeing the street name, had a slightly startled expression! Ming Yue Princess's residence was on this long street. Although it was not close to this courtyard, she still felt a bit worried. She planned to send the secret guards there later...

At this moment, Gu Lan saw the last line of the confession, and his brows suddenly furrowed.

"Tanyu said that this number was the last thing the little thief revealed, but it's just twelve twenty... Hmm? What does it mean?"

Seeing this number, Mu Yuyan, too, propped her delicate chin with her small hand, revealing a puzzled look.

This rapist seemed to be not acting voluntarily. After all, having worked for nothing, there must be resentment in his heart. So, this information might not be false...

Sherlock·Gu Lan activated, pondering and contemplating.

Having watched many detective mystery films in his previous life, Gu Lan now associated many clues related to numbers – quantity, distance, size, date...

Date?!

Gu Lan's eyes paused, then he asked, "Yuyan, what is the date today?"

"December..."

Hearing him say so, Mu Yuyan immediately understood. Her phoenix eyes widened slightly, and she spoke slowly, "December ninth. If twelve twenty is really a specific date, then it should be... tomorrow!"

"Yes."

Gu Lan responded lightly and tucked the blanket around her.

He then dressed and left the room.

"Master Gu!"

"Those rapists managed to target Tanyu; there's no guarantee they won't target you, wife. They are becoming too rampant in the capital."

Gu Lan turned back, smiling calmly. "I'll be back soon. Since I have the ability, it's a kind of help to those abducted girls if I can rescue them."

Gu Lan didn't consider himself a great hero. If it weren't for the threat to his wife and family, he wouldn't even bother with these evil cultivators. After all, there were so many evil paths in the world; how could one possibly eliminate them all?

With the aim of exterminating the threat, Gu Lan didn't disguise himself and didn't disturb Xiaoqi. He immediately soared into the sky on his sword.

In the night, a stream of light flew towards Fengsu Street.

In the bedroom, Mu Yuyan watched Gu Lan leave, biting her lip with her teeth. She immediately changed into her clothes and walked into the courtyard.

"Your Majesty!"

Liu Yexi sensed it and came out immediately.

"Let the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Announcements Bureau to thoroughly investigate the rapist case. Within three days, we must unearth the mastermind!"

Mu Yuyan's eyes were cold.

Gu Lan couldn't tolerate threats to her. Similarly, if trouble was caused to Gu Lan and spoiled their intimate moments in the evening, she couldn't tolerate that either!

"Yes!"

Liu Yexi received the order and disappeared into the night.

...

At the same time.

Fengsu Long Street!

Several black-cloaked and masked Nature Realm cultivators arrived around a grand and magnificent Residence.

"Is this Ming Yue Princess's residence?"

"Act quickly! As long as we capture this woman, the elder can absorb a trace of the Great Jing Dragon Qi to break through. Then, we can follow the elder back to the sect!"

"..."
