Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

It was not until the evening that Gu Chan and Shen Yang arrived outside the palace gate.

The imperial guards at the gate stopped the two and said, "Prince Chan, the Queen Mother has only summoned you to see her. No one else can follow you."

"Go back! I will go to the Ministry of War to see you tomorrow. You must tell me the situation in the Ministry of War then." Gu Chan ordered.

Shen Yang nodded and said, "Second Uncle, then you should be careful."

"Don't worry, it's just a trivial matter of palace fighting. Why would I be afraid?" Gu Chan said nonchalantly.

Before she traveled through time, she watched palace fighting dramas all day long. She knew everything about the trivial things in the harem. And to put it bluntly, with her strength, those women in the palace were too naive to deal with her.

Seeing how confident Gu Chan was, Shen Yang said nothing more and immediately said goodbye to her and left.

Gu Chan went to the Empress Dowager's bedroom, Yongning Palace, alone with a young eunuch.

Soon the two of them arrived outside the main hall of Yongning Palace.

Gu Chan raised her eyes and looked inside, and found that the left and right sides of the hall were full of palace maids and eunuchs. Sitting at the first seat was an elegant and noble old lady. She wore a phoenix crown and a phoenix robe, and had an extraordinary temperament. One could tell at a glance that she was the current empress dowager.

As the young eunuch walked to the center of the hall, Gu Chan did not dare to neglect him and immediately knelt down to pay her respects and said, "Gu Chan pays respects to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

"No need to bow, just stand up." The Queen Mother waved her hand and said.

Gu Chan stood up from the ground, lowered her head and did not dare to look directly at the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother said in a deep voice, "Lift your head and let me take a good look at you."

"Yes, Queen Mother." Gu Chan responded respectfully and slowly raised her head.

The Queen Mother stared at her carefully for a while, and couldn't help laughing and said, "You are quite pretty. At first glance, I really thought you were a little girl!"

"Your Majesty, I have had a girlish appearance since I was a child, so my parents named me Gu Chan and raised me as a daughter. But when I grew up, I was too naughty and pissed them off to death." Gu Chan said politely.

"It's better for boys to be a little naughty. This is a world where men are superior to women. It's better to be a boy than a girl." The Queen Mother said with emotion.

Gu Chan was suddenly speechless and really didn't know what to say.

However, just when she was embarrassed, the Queen Mother stood up and said, "Okay, we have met tonight. From now on, I have nothing to do. You can take care of yourself."

"Ah? Queen Mother, what do you mean?" Gu Chan asked puzzledly.

The Queen Mother was too lazy to explain to her and walked towards the back of the palace, leaving Gu Chan alone standing in the palace, confused.

But her doubts did not last long.

Not long after the Queen Mother left, Yan Li led four maids and escorted Ouyang Wan'er and Zi Yue out from the depths of the palace.

Gu Chan's face darkened when he saw this, and he secretly clenched his fists.

Yan Li walked up to Gu Chan and said, "Don't worry, the Queen Mother treats your two wives very well. Look at them, they are plump and fair, and they haven't suffered any grievances in Yongning Palace."

"After all this time, it turns out that you and the prince were just setting a trap! I really thought it was the Queen Mother who wanted to see me!" Gu Chan said coldly.

"Okay, Gu Chan, there's no need to waste time. Let's just speak frankly. I'm sure you know why I called you into the palace today." Yan Li said with a sinister smile.

"I don't know. Just say what you want to say. I hate it when people keep guessing." Gu Chan stood with his hands behind his back, his face extremely cold.

Yan Li said angrily, "Hand over the military commander, otherwise your two wives will have a hard time in the harem in the future."

"You should have told me earlier! I thought it was a big deal! It's just a trivial matter, but you made such a fuss about it. You're going to make me laugh to death. Besides, I don't even have the order with me, how can I hand it in?" Gu Chan said with his hands spread out.

"Come here, search for me." Yan Li waved his hand and gave the order.

A young eunuch immediately stepped forward and began to search Gu Chan, but when he finished searching, he really did not find the military order.

The young eunuch bowed his head and reported, "Madam, he does not have any orders on him."

"Gu Chan, where did you put the order?" Yan Li asked coldly.

"After I returned to Prince Chan's Mansion from Wanhuang Garden, I left the order in the mansion. You are stupid. Who would carry such an important thing with them for no reason?" Gu Chan said sarcastically.

Yan Li roared angrily, "Go back and bring me the order immediately, otherwise your two wives will suffer tonight."

"Husband, don't listen to her. We are not afraid of suffering."

"Yes, such an important thing must not be given to her."

Ouyang Wan'er and Zi Yue shouted in succession.

Yan Li waved her hand, held the palace maids, and tightly clamped their arms from behind, causing them great pain.

Gu Chan quickly stopped them and said, "You better behave yourself, or I'm afraid you won't be able to handle my beatings."

"Gu Chan, you'd better think carefully. This is the Queen Mother's bedroom, the most majestic place in the entire harem. If you dare to take action here, I'm afraid you won't be able to kill even if you have ten heads." Yan Li threatened.

"No, I didn't say I wouldn't give you the order. Why are you in such a hurry? We need to negotiate the terms of this matter!" Gu Chan said cunningly.

"Stop talking nonsense. Now that your two wives are in my hands, you can't make any conditions." Yan Li said sternly.

Gu Chan shook her head helplessly. "Okay, okay, you win. You've hit my weak spot this time. I'll go back and get the order right away. You wait here for me."

"I'll give you half an hour. If you still can't get the order after the time limit, I'll start with them." Yan Li said cruelly.

Gu Chan sneered and nodded.

Then she said nothing more, turned around and left, quickly leaving the palace and returning to Prince Chan's Mansion.

After returning to Prince Chan's Mansion, Gu Chan kept silent about the matter in order not to worry her grandparents. She just called the three spirit beasts into her room to discuss the matter.

When the three spirit beasts learned that Yan Li and the prince had used such despicable means to deal with Gu Chan, they were all very angry and shouted that they would rush into the palace to rescue Ouyang Wan'er and Zi Yue.

Gu Chan stopped them and said, "Don't be so excited. That's the imperial palace. There must be powerful masters hiding inside. If we rush in rashly and alert those masters, we will be in trouble."

"What should we do now? Are you willing to suffer this loss? Are you willing to be threatened by that bitch?" said the dragon angrily.

"Hmph! I am not someone who will suffer a loss. In this situation, force will not work. I must use wits. I will go to the palace to hand in the order and ensure the safety of the two ladies. When I come back, it will be your turn to take action." Gu Chan said with a smirk.

When the three spirit beasts heard her say this, they also laughed evilly.

After making the arrangements, Gu Chan immediately said goodbye to them and quickly returned to the palace with the order from above.
