My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

As for whether the people in the city will come to their senses after tonight and question themselves... Gu Lan rubbed her temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

However, even if it were to happen again, Gu Lan would still make the same choice! As a villain, she could understand wrongdoing, but messing with her wife meant certain death!

While Gu Lan was pondering how to handle the situation, a system prompt suddenly appeared!

[You've spoiled the plot of an intermediate villain in front of everyone]

[Reward Obtained]

[the Heaven Treasure·Sky-Cutting Dragon Roar Spear]

[Saint Stage Spear Technique·Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix]

[Saint Grade·Insights of Spear Dao]

[Sacred Item·Blood of the True Spirit (Fire Attribute)]

[Immortal Stage...]

A string of golden rewards appeared in the system space. There are Blood of the True Spirit and the lowest Immortal Stage herbs and treasures. The suspended divine spear, shining like jade with radiant brilliance, turned out to be the Heaven Treasure comparable to the Primordial Sword!

On the Tianji Pavilion's list of treasures, there were only twelve Heaven Treasures in the world—one for each of the four major dynasties, one for the Demon Realm, and one for the Eastern Sea...

Gu Lan alone possessed two!

Along with corresponding matching divine techniques and martial insights...

Gu Lan was stunned, sitting up from the bed involuntarily. Indeed, with risks come rewards. As long as you are willing to take risks and progress, not lying around like a salted fish, the rewards from the system won't be lacking.

However, facing these rewards, Gu Lan felt exhilarated for a moment, then helplessly chuckled. Although these external possessions were abundant, each one was a presence that could stir up a storm in the outside world. But what about preserving a peaceful and happy life with her wife?

In the novels of her previous life, those protagonists would often make enemies everywhere to obtain system rewards, frequently endangering their families...

Wasn't that seeking trouble?

The rewards were so generous; it seemed that the risks were not small. Gu Lan silently stored away the rewards and continued to contemplate how to eliminate the impact of this incident, preventing potential troubles from finding her.

At this moment, a fragrant breeze wafted in. Mu Yuyan, dressed in light silk, with a graceful figure, slowly sat behind Gu Lan, leaning over to massage his shoulders gently. She asked softly, "Master Gu, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking... whether we should move."

Gu Lan lay down, resting in the mountainous terrain.

Perhaps, this was the best solution.

Just like when he moved to Langzhou initially. As long as he went to a new place, disappeared from sight, he could once again lead a peaceful life with his wife, far away from the troubles.

Mu Yuyan blinked, understanding his concerns. She thought for a moment before speaking softly, "No matter where Master Gu goes, this concubine is willing to follow. However..."

"However, the imperial examination results will be announced in seven days."

"Why not make a decision then, Master Gu?"

"Well... that's fine. Free up these days, let Old Yang and Yexi have time to pack up and leave."

Gu Lan considered that he needed to deal with the two fugitives. He also had to plan for the relocation, which would take about a week. So, he agreed to Mu Yuyan's suggestion.

But this time, Gu Lan was unaware that people's minds are inscrutable! At this moment, seeing him agree, the female Emperor behind him pursed her cherry lips, revealing a smile of "mission accomplished."

Gu Lan, of course, didn't know that Mu Yuyan was not as naive and sweet as he imagined. The female Emperor had her own plans! Just keeping Master Gu for another seven days... She would have him under control for the rest of her life, and nothing would separate them, not even national affairs in the Jing Nation.

Because she intended to make Gu Lan an official.

This was planned early with Yexi, waiting for this year's autumn examination!

Mu Yuyan secretly delighted in her scheme. However, she didn't see that Gu Lan had turned over and was scrutinizing her with a strange expression.

"What are you laughing about?"

"Nothing... just thought of something amusing." Mu Yuyan raised her snow-white neck, suppressing her smile, and refused to admit it.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Gu Lan raised his eyebrows, and his big hand directly reached for her robe's fastening.

"My lady, it's time to sleep!"

"Ah!"

Mu Yuyan was caught off guard, her face blushing as she was pressed down.

"Tell me, what amusing thing were you thinking about?"

Gu Lan's hands were not idle.

Mu Yuyan's face turned red, unable to resist, but she stubbornly turned her head away. "Hmph, I won't tell you!"

"Not telling, huh?"

"Master, spare me..."

In the bedroom.

The candle extinguished, and the bed shook.

...

This night, Gu Lan delved deep into numerous battles. Meanwhile, in a dim cave outside Langzhou City, someone spent the entire night without sleep. Tuoba Mo sat by the bonfire, his eyes fierce, and the figure of the green-clothed person in his mind, who had caused him to lose all his previous achievements, lingered stubbornly.

On the other side, the old man in the black robe wore an uneasy expression.

Admittedly, the Ninth Prince of Great Yu, Gu Lan, was quite clever. Knowing that the Langzhou Iron Cavalry and the Jing Nation cultivators would pursue them relentlessly, he chose not to flee in panic but rather hid in the vicinity of Langzhou City.

However, just hiding was not a solution. The urgent task was to find a way to escape from Langzhou. Tuoba Mo contemplated for a moment, looked at the black-robed figure, and saw that every time he heard the name "Dragon Sovereign," he trembled all over.

"Darn it, how did I, the Ninth Prince of Great Yu, end up sheltering such a useless person!" Tuoba Mo cursed in his heart, but his face carried a smile as he walked over.

"Dragon Elder, there's no need to be so panicked. With me, the Ninth Prince of Great Yu, the East Sea wouldn't dare to really trouble you! In the future, if I become the emperor, you'll be a king of a different surname. Would the East Sea dare to offend me, the Ninth Prince of Great Yu? We have a deep master-servant relationship, and I swear I will protect you!"

Tuoba Mo patiently reassured him, feeding him comforting words.

Finally, the black-robed old man calmed down a bit, hesitatingly asking, "Your Highness... what you said, is it true?"

"If the Dragon Sovereign comes to kill me, is the Ninth Prince of Great Yu willing to help me?"

"Of course!"

Tuoba Mo made great efforts to conceal the disdain in his eyes and said in a calm and friendly manner. He had no choice; he was not talented in martial arts and had to rely on the black robe to have any hope of returning.

He had to resort to flattery.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have placed his hope of seizing the throne on such a lowly trick of stealing the fortune of various countries!

Tuoba Mo, a child who had been oppressed since childhood, but luckily, he could endure. He believed in the saying that thirty years on the east bank of the river, thirty years on the west bank.

"Dragon Elder, you must cheer up. Think about it, the Dragon Sovereign is far away, and even if the news reaches him, it will take at least half a year!"

"Now, as long as you kill that kid, you can eliminate these troubles at the source!"

Tuoba Mo took a deep breath, his eyes fierce, consoling the black-robed old man.

The black-robed old man listened attentively, pondering that it made sense. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Kill that kid? But there are already many cultivators outside. I could be exhausted by just dealing with them..."

"Don't fight them head-on. Catch them off guard and strike first!" Tuoba Mo said, "You are a mighty king at the pinnacle. Isn't it easy to kill a mere mortal? Think about it; that's a city's worth of blood food. Now, with no scruples, you can eat freely!"

To make the black-robed man believe in him again, to seek revenge!

Tuoba Mo used all his eloquence.

After persuading for a long time, the black-robed old man finally stood up from the ground. "...Your Highness's words make sense. To cut off the information, we can only strike first!"

"Yes! Dragon Elder, you've finally come to your senses!"

Tuoba Mo's mouth curled, revealing a sinister smile. "Your Highness, when do we take action?"

"No time to waste. We'll act tomorrow morning!" Tuoba Mo said, "Tomorrow, at noon, I'll be waiting here. When you bring the kid's head, we'll return to Great Yu together!"
