"Actually...if I had stopped you from marrying that general that year, would your life have become simpler?"
Her question obviously gave Gu Mo'er a great shock. She was stunned for a long time before she forced out a forced smile and said, "Don't be stupid. Even if I don't marry that general, I might marry someone else I don't like."
Man, it doesn't make any difference. No matter what happens to me, it's my life, not your responsibility."
Listening to Gu Mo'er's answer, for some reason, she felt her nose was sore and her tears seemed about to fall.
The melancholy mood did not last long. Mo Lanyue's heart was quickly occupied by the words of the imperial doctor. Even if it was possible to get treatment, it was better than not having any chance of treatment. She couldn't help but think that maybe she did not deserve her fate.
Jue, if you can get such a chance of survival deep into the enemy camp, if you can really live well, then wouldn't she and Gu Lieyang be able to...
When the words "grow old together" popped into her mind, Mo Lanyue, no matter how good she was at concealing her inner emotions, couldn't help but blush. Her smiling eyes could not hide the happiness in her heart.
For so long, she had been accustomed to such bad luck, and suddenly one day she had extra hope. It was really amazing.
"What makes you so happy?"
"What kind of wind brings the prince here?"
Mo Lanyue did not answer the question, unwilling to share her happy things with the visitors.
Her indifferent attitude couldn't hit Liu Jueming at all. He seemed to know what she would say every time. No matter how much she provoked him, he didn't get angry. On the contrary, the second princess Ye Caini just said a few words.
He was so angry that he wanted to scold him and get out. Afterwards, she found out that Ye Caini was very famous both inside and outside the palace. Outside, she led an army of over ten thousand people, and her fighting skills were not inferior at all.
For any strong man, apart from the empress, Liu Jueming, the elder brother, was probably the only one in the palace who could suppress her.
Thanks to Liu Jueming, Ye Caini has never come to trouble her again since that time. But fundamentally speaking, Ye Caini is hostile to her precisely because of Liu Jueming, the scourge of Mo Lanyue.
I didn't mean to thank him at all.
"I've done everything I need to do, so I took the time to come see you. Why, why don't you drive me away?"
Looking up at Liu Jueming arrogantly, she wanted to know how far she would go before he would really get angry and stop talking to her.
In fact, as long as she didn't think about escaping, he was not only very tolerant to her, he also took great care of Gu Mo'er as a hostage, giving her everything she should have and everything she shouldn't have.
, which made her feel even more strange.
To say that Aiwu Jiwu has gone too far, if he did not restrict Gu Moer's movements, wouldn't he be afraid that she would be injured and take Gu Moer out of the palace? Or is he just so confident in the defense of his own palace?
"If His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to explain to me the situation outside the palace, I wouldn't mind buying you a cup of tea."
Liu Jueming looked at the maids standing behind her and ordered them all to exit the room before he faced Mo Lanyue again.
"There is no need to hide some news from you. You will know it sooner or later. However, Caiying's situation is not very good now. The simultaneous attacks of the four countries have caused us to lose troops and generals, and the morale of the army is shaken. Maybe in a few days we will receive another message from Gu Lieyang.
News of leading troops to attack our border."
These words came from Liu Jueming's mouth and couldn't be more true. Mo Lanyue couldn't help but feel happy. Of course Gu Lieyang would attack again. This was the opportunity they were waiting for. Liu Jueming led
The soldiers turned back, and the remaining people were without the leadership of the prince, and their morale was inevitably low.
In a battle, the role of the leader is extremely important. A member of the royal family walking at the front with a sword and shouting can be more inspiring than any words of encouragement.
The four kingdoms gradually devoured Caiying's territory. As time went by, people in Caiying Kingdom became even more panic-stricken and unsteady. I am afraid that the throne will be handed over to others sooner or later, but I don't know how many people the female emperor wants to marry.
How long will the brothers fight?
"I can see how happy you are without saying anything, but don't forget that Caiying is not a sheep that can be slaughtered by others. It is powerful and cannot be trampled by anyone, even if they cooperate.
No matter how seamless it is, we will always have a way to repel them one by one."
"Really? Then we will wait and see. I have decided that before the outcome is determined, I will stay here to recuperate until Gu Lieyang comes to pick me up."
She proudly made a promise to Liu Jueming with a resolute tone, just because she firmly believed that the man she cared about also cared about her. She was recovering from her injuries here, waiting for him to take her back and do what she wanted.
His queen...well, it seems that she is still the princess for the time being.
"Remember what you said, don't run away."
Liu Jueming was really unhappy this time. He pointed at her nose and walked away with his sleeves thrown away. Being able to make Liu Jueming angry would naturally add another element of happiness to Mo Lanyue's heart.
In the Purple Eagle Palace, some people are happy, while others are naturally sad.
Nighthawk sat alone in Nuoda's palace, looking at everything she owned. The pure gold dragon chair gave her supreme power, but deprived her of all family ties. Or maybe she took the initiative for the dragon chair and the throne.
She gave up those things that she didn't care about at first. Looking back now, her children only respected her but didn't get close to her. Officials also walked on eggshells when dealing with her. No one could treat her as normal...
wrong……
She suddenly thought of someone, and even she was surprised why she suddenly thought of her, but... she felt that the look in her eyes was very fearless...
Late at night, when Mo Lanyue was sleeping soundly, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open.
There was a squeak, very soft, but it woke her up. She quietly opened her eyes and looked at the person who came in. She saw that person stopped by the bed, turned around and didn't know what he wanted to do. She silently
Get up, get out of bed, and walk behind the person.
With a skilled move, she grabbed the person's neck with one hand and took a closer look, only to find that the person was actually a palace maid who usually served her.
"Is that you? Why did you sneak into my room quietly in the middle of the night?"
"Miss Mo, don't be angry. The emperor asked this slave to invite you to see her. I saw that the room was dark and wanted to light the lamp first before waking you up. I'm afraid I might scare you."
She also noticed the huozhezi held in the palace maid's hand, and then let go of her hand, "Your emperor wants to see me in the middle of the night?"
As the saying goes, when the moon is dark and the wind is high, it’s a murderous night. Could it be that the empress didn’t like her and wanted to kill her herself?
As Mo Lanyue started to get dressed, she started to make wild guesses in her mind.
Naturally, the palace maid couldn't give her any accurate answers. She waited for her to dress up and lead her to the palace where the empress usually stayed.
The journey was not very far, but walking at night was really unpleasant. Mo Lanyue tightened her cloak, helpless against the cold wind at night.
"I have been waiting for you for a long time."
As soon as her front foot stepped over the threshold, the nighthawk's steady voice sounded in her ears, as if it had predicted the time for her to enter, or perhaps it was really looking forward to her.
"I wonder why the emperor came to see me?"
She cupped her hands towards Nighthawk without kneeling down to salute.
Nighthawk seemed to have expected that she would behave like this, and he was not unhappy at all in his heart. Instead, he was happy with her casualness.
"If I said I wanted to have a casual chat with you, would you think I was lying to you?"
"Of course not. The emperor just wants to find someone to chat with, why would he want to find me?"
It is natural for her to have questions. Who is Nighthawk? The empress of the Colorful Eagle Kingdom. Who is she? The little follower of the Purple Thunder Kingdom. Is there any reason why the two of them can get together on this dark and windy night?
Chat?
"It's just that I can't find anyone I feel comfortable with, and you barely fit this point."
"Do I make the emperor feel comfortable?"
Such an ambiguous answer made her suddenly feel uneasy. This empress could not have been alone for a long time, had been powerful for a long time, and started to change her gender... She didn't like such a heavy taste.
"Although I don't know what strange things you are thinking about, you can stop your imagination. Sit down, I have a few questions to ask you."
Looking around, there was no one else in the hall except Nighthawk and her. There was a chair about five meters away from Nighthawk. She walked over and sat down. "Ask, but I can't guarantee that I will answer truthfully."
Nighthawk couldn't help but smile. She had indeed found the right person today. Apart from Mo Lanyue, I'm afraid no one in this palace would dare to speak to her like this.
"I ask you, how is that old guy Gulei doing now?"
"The Emperor is in his prime and has many children on his knees. He is doing very well."
"I ask you again, have you ever met the emperors of the other three kingdoms?"
Mo Lanyue wondered what was wrong with the empress. She suddenly became concerned about the situation of her brothers. Was it because she was inquiring about information, or was she really concerned about them? But when she thought about it again, this information was not considered confidential, and it had nothing to do with military affairs.
, it won't have any bad impact if she tells the truth.
"I was lucky enough to meet them once. The three monarchs were all in high spirits, but privately they felt a bit like old naughty boys."
If Guleg knew that she described the imperial uncles he was most afraid of as old naughty boys, I wonder what he would think.
This thought suddenly popped up in her mind, and Mo Lanyue couldn't help but start to giggle.
"what are you laughing at?"
Nighthawk asked her curiously. The woman in front of her could still be distracted and thinking about other things in front of her. It seemed that there was really no pressure to face her.
"Thinking of a good friend of mine. Is there anything else the Emperor would like to ask?"
Withdrawing her mind, Mo Lanyue stared at the empress in front of her attentively and asked casually.
"What kind of person am I in your eyes?"
"Alas?"
The Empress's questions are becoming more and more confusing. How should she answer such questions? She knows little about the Empress, and all she knows is some bad news about her. Although she stands
From the woman's point of view, she admires Nighthawk for being able to maintain such a dominant position for a long time, but after all, he does not belong to one country, and there is almost no favorability or anything like that.
"You don't have to feel embarrassed. As long as you tell the truth, I won't blame you."
Mo Lanyue thought for a while, "The emperor is a woman with a strong personality, but this kind of fortitude has destined the emperor to lose family ties."
