My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Liu Yexi almost burst into laughter at the sight of the embarrassed figure in front of her. She felt a strong disdain for him, with his unclean gaze and a hypocritical appearance that anyone could see through! In terms of appearance, he lacked the righteous aura that Gu Lan possessed and seemed more eerie and unsettling. There was simply no basis for comparison!

She wondered where he got the courage to strike up a conversation.

On the other side, after eating a mouthful of dust, Tuoba Mo remained stunned for a good three seconds!

Born into the imperial family, enjoying a life of luxury and having countless wives and concubines, he had never been rejected by a woman before. Those who rejected him usually ended up in the belly of the Elder Dragon.

The black-robed old man, seeing Mu Yuyan's icy expression, glanced at Tuoba Mo for confirmation.

As long as he nodded, he could easily abduct her, just like he did before. However, this time, Tuoba Mo waved his hand, signaling him to step back and wait.

Facing the breathtaking beauty of the female Emperor, Tuoba Mo, rare for him, didn't react with anger but took a deep breath, suppressing his frustration. Rushing would spoil the hot tofu... conquering a cold and aloof beauty was more interesting!

Tuoba Mo composed himself, still wearing a smile, and said, "Miss, why use harsh words towards me? My family is quite prosperous, and I am not yet married. If the young lady has no suitable partner..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a resolute voice cut in, "Sorry, she does."

Tuoba Mo felt quite unpleasant, furrowing his brows as he looked at Gu Lan. Dressed in blue, Gu Lan walked out of the inn, followed by Old Yang and a few others who glared menacingly at Tuoba Mo.

"Apologies for keeping the lady waiting. My fault," Gu Lan said apologetically, not giving Tuoba Mo and the black-robed old man a direct look.

"Dear, I'm fine," Mu Yuyan eased her expression, her gaze gentle. Interestingly, even though Gu Lan was just an ordinary scholar, he somehow provided the Sword Immortal with a strong sense of security during such times.

I didn't expect to encounter this Lin Chong's script. Maybe it's the trouble of being too beautiful for the lady... Gu Lan stood in front of her, looking at Tuoba Mo with a calm expression.

When Gu Lan's gaze swept across and landed on the uniquely dressed black-robed old man, he was slightly surprised!

Hmm? Isn't this the old man who whipped the deer in the street before the Autumn Examination? Gu Lan distinctly remembered using the Qi-Insighting Technique to probe the destinies of these two individuals, both showing a black aura, indicating a villainous fate even worse than grey!

Black aura in destinies was more ominous than grey!

This indicated that they were destined to be stepping stones for the future Qi Yun, destined to be defeated by the protagonist!

Thinking about this, Gu Lan's gaze towards them couldn't help but show a hint of pity.

However, since they had encountered this unfortunate fate, Gu Lan naturally wouldn't remain indifferent. With a thought, his eyes emitted a clear light, and he once again activated the Qi-Insighting Technique, a saint-stage immortal technique.

[Destiny: Black]

[Fate: Ninth Prince of the Great Yu Dynasty, denied the throne, rebels, dies at the hands of the Qi Yun]

[Destiny: Black]

[Fate: Bastard son of the East Sea Dragon Clan, hunted for offending the Dragon Lord in his early years, fears being discovered by the Dragon Clan, attaches himself to the Great Yu Dynasty, bloodthirsty and cruel, dies alongside his master at the hands of the Qi Yun]

Gu Lan observed the two of them, and Tuoba Mo was also observing them. Seeing Mu Yuyan gently leaning on Gu Lan's side and recalling her cold demeanor towards him a moment ago, Tuoba Mo's eyes darkened slightly. The prince is right in front of you, and you dare not recognize your place and instead attach yourself to a commoner?

However, when Tuoba Mo saw behind Gu Lan, a graceful figure made his eyes light up once again! Lin Tan'er! With a figure like a willow and a face like a peach blossom, her delicate appearance was both pitiable and lovely.

Tuoba Mo couldn't help but relax his frowning brows, and a hint of wicked fire rose in his heart. He dared to say that among all the beautiful women he had seen, this woman's beauty could definitely rank in the top three! The other two were the cold and proud Mu Yuyan and the missing princess of the East Sea!

Lin Tan'er noticed his gaze, furrowed her delicate eyebrows, and moved closer to Gu Lan. The first thing she saw when she woke up with amnesia was Gu Lan, and currently, he was the one she could rely on the most.

"Annoying!" Seeing this scene, Tuoba Mo clenched his fist, staring at Gu Lan with an increasingly fierce gaze.

As a prince, he had never seen such a high-quality beauty. How could this guy from the Great Jing Nation enjoy the company of two at the same time? The fortune of the Qi people?! Why him?

At this moment, Dou Fu, dressed in official attire, walked out of the restaurant with a group of subordinates. They were about to take their turns on duty. But when Dou Fu saw the two unfriendly newcomers, he quickly asked Liu Yexi on the side about the process of the incident, and his face immediately turned cold.

"Where did these troublemakers come from? How dare they do such dirty things in broad daylight! They don't even put me, the county lord, in their eyes!"

Dou Fu shouted loudly, making the surrounding commoners look over. They were confused, watching Tuoba Mo and the others pointing fingers.

"Who are these two? Why did the county lord get so angry?"

"That little pretty boy just tried to strike up a conversation with Lady Gu, but he was ruthlessly rejected. Maybe he's embarrassed now!"

"Tsk tsk, appearances can be deceiving. This guy, who looks like a model, turns out to be so shameless inside!"

"... "

Tuoba Mo: ???

For the first time in his life, he was being scolded as shameless by a group of people pointing fingers at him!

These Jing Nation peasants were truly something!

Tuoba Mo's eyes swept coldly around, feeling a burst of anger that he didn't know where to vent. In normal circumstances, he would have killed these peasants with a wave of his hand. But not now!

Many officials and commoners had already gathered around!

Under the public gaze, he dared not let the Elder Dragon openly kill. After all, if his identity as the Prince of the Great Yu was exposed now, it would cause endless trouble. The Great Yu Dynasty was not the same as the demonic Clan and couldn't recklessly massacre here. Perhaps they could escape tonight after killing these people, but the Langzhou Iron Cavalry would never let them go back alive!

Tuoba Mo had just finished the autumn examinations, and his plans were starting to take shape. He didn't want to fail because of a few women!

"Let's go!"

Tuoba Mo took a deep breath, imprinting Gu Lan's figure in his mind. He looked around at the people present and gave a casual command.

The black-robed old man nodded and was about to take him away.

Suddenly, a very "gentle" detaining voice sounded:

"Prince Tuoba, Lord Du just called you to stay. Why leave in such a hurry? Coming from the Great Yu Dynasty is quite a long journey."

"Oh, by the way, how difficult were this year's autumn examination questions?"

Everyone turned to look. Gu Lan, with a smiling face, gazed at Tuoba Mo's back and casually asked.

A seemingly ordinary sentence, lightly spoken. However, in Tuoba Mo's ears at the moment of leaving, it was like a thunderclap, leaving his mind blank.

He froze in his steps!

His expression froze in the same instant!

The people around were even more puzzled!

"What does Master Gu mean? Are you saying this person is a prince of the Great Yu Dynasty?"

"It should be... but why would a prince of the Great Yu Dynasty come to our Jing Nation and participate in the autumn examinations?"

"Why would an outsider take the imperial examination in our country!?"

"... "

Some shook their heads in confusion. But when Mu Yuyan heard this, her beautiful eyes were shocked, and her gaze was firmly fixed on Tuoba Mo!

Others may not know the Great Yu Dynasty's plans, but the female Emperor was more clear about them than anyone else.
