Jingguo.
In the study room of a house in Langzhou City, there sat a young man in green clothes holding a scroll.
His name is Gu Lan.
I traveled here three years ago, the first year of Jiaqing.
A world where anyone who practices all kinds of ways can become an immortal!
As a benefit to the traveling party, the scholar system has also bound him.
As long as you read, you can gain Confucianism and Taoism, even the true meaning of martial arts, and artifacts and magic weapons.
However, these were not enough to make Gu Lan excited.
Because he knows that this is actually a novel world, and it is also a eunuch novel that Gu Lan was familiar with in his previous life!
But in terms of setting, he is just an unknown and handsome supporting character, not even a villain.
As a moderate person who has read all kinds of pornographic novels, Gu Lan has the self-cultivation of a supporting character.
Stay tight and don’t wander around!
Knowing that both the protagonist and the villain were going to the imperial city to cause trouble, Gu Lan moved to Langzhou to stay away from the court and watch the fire from across the river!
...
"Counting the time, it's time for Madam and Xiaoxi to come back."
at this time.
Gu Lan put down the book, looked out the window at the snowy night, and murmured in a low voice.
Today, on the New Year's Eve, all the people nearby went to Dajue Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings, and Mu Yuyan was no exception.
When she left the house early in the morning, she said she wanted to pray for Gu Lang and that he would be safe and sound in the coming year, Chunwei High School.
When he thought of his wife, Gu Lan's eyebrows suddenly filled with tenderness.
They got married half a year ago. They met and fell in love by chance at a temple fair without any instructions from their parents.
In the past six months, they, Qin Se and Ming, have been in harmony with each other, and Mu Yuyan has been virtuous in managing the family. The Gu family's life has been getting better and better. They opened a teahouse two days ago and the business is booming.
Neighbors all envied them for being a match made in heaven, saying that the young couple had a destined relationship in their previous lives.
It can be said that what Gu Lan cherishes most in this other world is this ordinary but extremely happy relationship.
He wouldn’t even change it if he was given the lead role!
"Lao Yang, madam, you'll be back soon, cook the porridge and add more brown sugar and dates!" Gu Lan ordered towards the door.
"I can't be mistaken. I know that you care about your wife, sir, so I've already cooked it!"
Old Yangtou's cheerful voice came from outside the study, "Young Master is really attentive to his wife. There are not many people like this that I have served in the past..."
In the study room, Gu Lan smiled knowingly and continued to read the book.
...
Looking back at Pear Blossom Alley.
The simple carriage drove slowly under the snow.
In the car, a woman wearing a white velvet shawl was taking a nap. Next to her was a maid in green sitting upright, with an empty tribute basket at her feet.
If we ignore the woman's charming face, graceful and noble demeanor, and her terrifying cultivation skills that are difficult for ordinary people to feel...
Maybe you think she is just an ordinary woman praying for blessings and returning home!
She is Mu Yuyan.
In addition to her identity as Lady Gu Lan, she is also the current empress of the Dajing Kingdom!
At this moment, Mu Yuyan was listening to her maid Liu Yexi read a secret message, which was related to the disaster that had caused the people in the southern border to have no food and starve to death this year.
"Your Majesty, the drought in the southern border has not been going on for a year or two, nor can it be solved overnight. We need to take a long-term approach..."
Seeing Mu Yan'er's eyebrows frowning more and more, Liu Yexi couldn't help but comfort her.
"Xiao Xi, the disaster in the south is just a symptom."
Mu Yuyan opened her beautiful eyes, shook her head and sighed softly: "Since I succeeded to the throne, in the first year of Jiaqing, the Mobei Demon Kingdom entered our border with Dajing, burning, killing and looting countless people."
"Two years ago, the banditry in Jinzhou was fierce. I heard that... even a massacre occurred!"
"Huangzhou was hit by waterlogging last year, and it's also the same situation today."
"In recent years, the chaos in the four directions has been rising again and again...I am afraid that the prophecy of Lao Jianzheng has really come true, and the country's fortunes will decline and chaos will occur in all directions..."
"His Majesty..."
Liu Yexi felt that these words were unlucky and wanted to interrupt.
At this time, the bumping stopped and the carriage had arrived at the door of Gu's mansion.
Mu Yuyan waved her hand: "No need to say more, order Sima Xiangguo and the Ministry of Household Affairs to handle the matter and provide disaster relief as usual.
At this point, we can only take one step at a time."
Hearing the helplessness in the empress' words, Liu Yexi sighed slightly.
In this world, dynasties change and destiny is the general trend. It is really mysterious!
Even a queen who is as powerful as the Sword Immortal can't control the fate of the country that is invisible and intangible.
I remember that after Lao Jian Zheng made the prophecy, he also gave the only solution!
However, this method has not yet given hope!
"The emperor enters the world of mortals."
The old prisoner said this when he was dying.
Can the emperor, who has been ruthless since ancient times, save Jingguo's fate by entering this chaotic world?... Mu Yuyan didn't know.
Too ethereal.
But she knows that in this world, she may have to find a true immortal saint, or take the last step to reach the realm of sword saint who can change the laws of heaven and earth, in order to save Dajing's life...
Take back your thoughts.
Mu Yuyan took a deep breath and looked up at the door plaque of Gu's residence. The sadness in her eyes gradually turned into tenderness.
"Gu Lang, I'm back."
Her voice was gentle, and she could not feel the majesty of the empress at all.
In the main hall where the family was having dinner, a few curse words came out.
"They say the dates are all added to the lady's bowl. Lao Yang, why are you secretly serving them to me?"
"Sir, we have enough dates!" Old Yangtou's defensive voice came out: "Madam, there are not even a few grains of rice in that bowl..."
"You... don't need to put in so much, eh, the lady is back!"
Gu Lan's eyebrows widened when he saw Mu Yuyan entering the room.
"Aren't you having your period these days? I'll make porridge specially for you to replenish your qi and blood."
Gu Lan helped her sit down considerately and said softly.
Mu Yuyan looked at the bowl of red porridge and couldn't help laughing. She quickly picked up a few dates and put them back into his bowl: "Gu Lang studies hard every day, so he should make up for it more than me."
"Studying is not hard when you are accompanied by a beautiful woman."
Gu Lan took a bite of food and sweet words came out of his mouth.
Lao Yang, who was eating food quietly next to him, chuckled.
It made Mu Yuyan's pretty face turn red.
Such a warm scene is rarely seen in the palace. Being immersed in it, not to mention the empress, even Liu Yexi on the side felt a little nostalgic.
"It would be nice if you could stay with Gu Lang all the time and your Majesty would always be happy..."
Although she knew it was impossible, Liu Yexi still couldn't help but think about it.
At this time, unexpectedly, Gu Lan's eyes suddenly fell on her and asked, "Xiao Xi seems to have something on his mind?"
Gu Lan didn't realize that because of his Confucianism and righteousness, his perception was very strong and he could easily understand the emotions of people around him.
Even if it's just for a moment.
Mu Yuyan and Liu Yexi looked at each other.
Liu Yexi put down the bowl and chopsticks and began to write on the spot: "Back to the young master, I saw a few refugees at Dajue Temple today. They were so hungry that they were inhuman shape. They were quite pitiful. When I saw the rice in the bowl, I felt a little... a little emotional."
"Refugees are indeed quite pitiful."
Gu Lan shook his head regretfully.
"Are you from Huangzhou?" Old Yangtou suddenly said.
He had fled from Huangzhou many years ago and asked this question when he thought about his hometown.
"No, I'm from the south. There's a drought over there."
Gu Lan waved his hand and said without thinking.
He remembered that this plot was highlighted in the novel.
In the third year of Jiaqing, there was a severe drought in the southern region. Later, various natural and man-made disasters caused public resentment and made the people miserable.
Because a villain participated in this plot, Gu Lan was deeply impressed.
Hearing that he was not a fellow villager, Lao Yang nodded and stopped caring and continued to focus on cooking.
However, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.
Mu Yuyan was suddenly startled, and her beautiful eyes slowly looked at Gu Lan.
"Gu Lang...how did you know it was a drought in the south?"
Because disasters can easily cause panic, they are all conveyed in secret by the special envoy of Xuantiansi, who is directly subordinate to the empress.
The journey of thousands of miles hastened, and the sword never stopped!
But even at this speed, we only arrived at the Empress Case this afternoon!
Gu Lan was oblivious to what was going on outside the window and only focused on reading the books of sages. How did he know it so quickly?
He actually knew it so accurately!
