Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

Beiji Province, Nanpi.

Dingyuanhoufu.

"Go away, Mrs. Ben!"

A sharp shout broke the calm in front of the Hou Mansion.

I saw a middle-aged woman in luxurious clothes staring angrily, pointing to a group of soldiers in black armor who were blocking the gate not far away, and angrily shouted: "This is Dingyuan Hou's Mansion, not you arrogant and unreasonable people!" A place where Qiu Ba is running wild! Besides, my daughter is a martial arts existence, and she can wipe you out with a flick of a finger!"

"If you don't want to die, get out of the Hou Mansion, or don't blame Mrs. Ben for being rude!"

As she said that, the skirt on her body began to move automatically without wind, and wisps of spiritual power quickly emerged.

In this regard, the faces of those soldiers did not show a trace of panic, and their faces were expressionless.

Apparently he didn't care about the woman's threat at all.

Seeing that even though she mentioned her daughter's name, she still couldn't scare the black armored soldier in front of her, panic flashed in the woman's eyes.

And at this moment——

Swish!

A huge force suddenly descended from the sky, instantly dissipating the meager spiritual power she had condensed, leaving nothing behind.

"Mrs. Hou, please don't make things difficult for me."

Zhu Yong, dressed in the heavy armor specially made by Xuanwuwei generals, slowly appeared at the gate of the Hou's mansion, and then glanced at the woman with a stern expression, and looked contemptuously at the distinguished contemporary mistress of the Dingyuan Hou's mansion, Mrs. said:

"His Royal Highness the Holy King told me that the Gu family is one of the only surviving hereditary marquises since the founding of our Great Xia Dynasty. It has lived with the country for generations and is extremely honorable. Its eldest daughter, Gu Simiao, is one of the Eight Great Pillars. In the past two years when Daxia guarded the barren state, he repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on the Turkic people, making them afraid to step into the barren state, and won at least ten years of peace for the people of the barren state and the people of nearby states and counties.

"Now that the Xinyuan Grand Ceremony is coming up, His Majesty has specially decreed to order the entire family of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion to go to Luojing to attend the grand ceremony as a token of respect and gratitude."

Speaking of this, he suddenly took a step forward, and the power of his body poured out suddenly. In an instant, Zhao Shi, who was only a monk in the Cyclone Realm, turned pale and couldn't move.

"This is His Majesty's supreme favor, therefore, no matter what the reason is, no one in Dingyuan Hou's Mansion is allowed to be absent, and Madam Hou, please don't be ignorant to flatter Your Majesty, and cause disaster for the Hou Mansion for nothing. "

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Mrs. Zhao to reply, Zhu Yong snorted coldly, turned around and left the gate of Hou Mansion.

But he didn't go far, but walked to a tea shop opposite the door, and drank tea leisurely.

Mrs. Zhao got up from the ground in a state of embarrassment, then glared at the motionless Xuanwu guard at the door, and hurried towards the inner hall.

As soon as he walked to the hall, he saw his husband, Gu Yanming, the contemporary Dingyuan Marquis, sitting on the main seat and enjoying tea leisurely, without the slightest sense of tension on his face, as if the major events that happened in the Hou's mansion recently Nothing to do with him in general.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhao suddenly lost her temper.

"Drink and drink, you know how to drink! Why don't you drink to death!"

She walked up to Gu Yanming in two steps at a time, picked up the tea set on the table and threw it to the ground.

Boom!

The priceless tea set was instantly smashed to pieces.

"The sky is about to fall, and you still have the heart to drink tea?! Why did I marry you, a useless man!"

The tea set was smashed, Gu Yanming raised his head slightly, and glanced at her expressionlessly, his eyes did not fluctuate, as if the person in front of him was not his wife who had been sleeping with him for many years, but an irrelevant stranger .

"Everything has a definite order, and it cannot be done by human beings."

Gu Yanming supported his chin with one hand, and said calmly: "Since this is the case, why not accept it calmly, and enjoy the glory of the past before the last moment."

Hearing these resigned words, Mrs. Zhao was so angry that she couldn't speak for a moment, pointing at Gu Yanming "you you you" non-stop.

After a while, she was a little calmer.

"Gu Yanming!"

She yelled loudly.

"Are you still a man? If you hadn't been hesitant and indecisive before, and hadn't taken us to the barren state to join Miao'er earlier, how could our Hou Mansion have fallen into such a situation? Now that things are going on, the Gu family is about to face disaster. You are still so indifferent? Do you want to watch us being escorted to the execution ground, and everyone in the Hou Mansion is decapitated?"

"Ah"

Gu Yanming sneered inexplicably.

"If you hadn't disregarded your husband's dissuasion and insisted on flattering the demon queen, you had painstakingly arranged for Miao'er to meet Zhao Feifei. The engagement made Dingyuan Hou's mansion inexplicably become the in-laws of the Demon Empress, how could there be such a disaster today?"

Hearing this, Zhao's voice suddenly became softer, but he still said aggressively:

"How can you blame me? Didn't I do this for the sake of Miaoer's future? How many people in the world can match a martial arts genius like Miaoer? And Zhao Feifan is not only a good-looking talent, but also has both civil and military skills. She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, theory of Taoism, classics, and military strategy. Miaoer will not feel wronged at all when she marries him, and she will be happy after marriage. Could it be possible that I, a mother, can harm her?"

"Besides, the Zhao family was in full swing at that time. The marriage between the Gu family and the Zhao family had many benefits, and it was of great benefit to the Gu family."

Having said that, a guilty conscience suddenly flashed in her eyes, and she even lowered her voice.

"It will be of great benefit to your natal family."

Gu Yanming mercilessly exposed her lies.

"In the past two years, many of your natal family have been taken care of by Zhao Feifan, and they have taken important positions in the court and the army. The family has grown a lot, and even squeezed into the ranks of second-rate families. I can see all of this. Here, I just don’t want to bother with you, and now His Majesty is in charge of the government, killing all of these evil party members, isn’t this the result of the evil you planted?”

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but turn pale, and the aura she had just disappeared almost instantly.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but Gu Yanming didn't give her another chance to speak, he just shook his head and interrupted:

"Forget it, this kind of thing is fine no matter what. Anyway, I never thought of wanting the benefits of the cholera court gang. Since you want those so-called benefits, I will give you all of them. It can be regarded as the best of our husband and wife. A love affair."

As he spoke, he stood up suddenly, then walked slowly towards the back hall with his hands behind his back.

"Don't think that I will use the secret formation of the Hou Mansion to send a message to Miao'er. I am not you, and I am not as powerful as you. Since Miao'er has grown up, as a father, I will only help her when she needs it." She won't cause any trouble to her no matter what, and she won't interfere in her life for selfish desire like you."

After a pause, a look of determination suddenly flashed in Gu Yanming's eyes.

"So, no matter what decision she will make this time, whether it's serving the demon queen or being self-reliant, I won't blame her."

At the same time as the voice fell, Gu Yanming's figure gradually disappeared at the entrance of the corridor, without any hesitation in his steps.

Looking at his back that was drifting away, Zhao's complexion turned pale, and deep despair filled his eyes.
