"Why are you here?" Mingyue Cheng was shocked to see Gu Yunwan.
"Of course I'm here to take you back to court!" Gu Yunwan harrumphed and sat down opposite Mingyue Cheng. "Aren't you afraid that I, the Empress Dowager, will usurp the throne?"
Mingyue Cheng chuckled at Gu Yunwan's words. "If you wanted to usurp the throne, the Southern Phoenix Nation would have been yours long ago."
Gu Yunwan harrumphed again at Mingyue Cheng's smile. "That's true! I don't care about those things! "
Gu Yunwan was from the Yun clan. Her father, Good, was the clan leader of the Yun clan. Miao Chuyun was also from the Yun clan. The Miao clan and the Gu clan had been on good terms for generations. Good only had this precious daughter, and the two of them had known each other since they were young. However, Gu Yunwan liked to dress up as a man and refused to wear makeup, so the two of them were considered 'brothers'. Most people would think that the Gu clan had a young master and a young lady. Little did they know that the young master was actually a young lady in disguise!
The Yun clan was a large clan in the southern part of the Southern Phoenix Nation. When the loyal Miao clan was executed by Mingfeng Jing, he was worried that the Gu clan would take revenge for the Miao clan and the Yun clan would rebel. Thus, when Good's only daughter, Gu Yunwan, came of age, he married her into the palace and made her the empress in name. In reality, he was using Gu Yunwan to control Good and the Yun clan.
Later, Gu Yunwan contacted Mingyue Cheng, her childhood friend, and continuously sent information about the Southern Phoenix Nation to the Hostage Residence of Xiqi, which was of great help to Mingyue Cheng.
Now, Gu Yunwan was forcing him to go back to court. Mingyue Cheng felt a headache coming on.
Although he had confirmed the date, he was still worried about Feng Qi Qi. Moreover, when Feng Qi Qi's child was born, he would bring the child back to cure the Gu. Mingyue Cheng wanted to stay in the Northern Zhou Nation until Feng Qi Qi gave birth, but that was obviously impossible.
"Xiao Wan, I know you're the best! Help me, please! If you delay it for another month, just say that I'm sick! "
"Sick?" Gu Yunwan's face darkened when she saw Mingyue Cheng trying to find an excuse. "Mingyue Cheng, aren't you embarrassed? If it weren't for my father, those ministers would have already rushed into the harem to see if you were really bedridden! "
"Do you think that hiding in the Northern Zhou Kingdom will stop the concubine selection? Recently, those old guys almost sent their granddaughters to your dragon bed. What do you want me to do? Every time, I use my status as the Empress Dowager to pressure people. Now, the ministers are saying that you and I … "
At this point, Gu Yunwan suddenly shut her mouth. She turned her face to the side, but her cheeks were puffed up. It was obvious that she was very angry.
Mingyue Cheng could imagine what these useless ministers would say even if he used his toes. It was nothing more than slandering him and Gu Yunwan, saying that they were 'childhood sweethearts' and 'two innocent children'.
After Mingyue Cheng ascended to the throne, he refused to choose a concubine. Some people privately said that he had an affair with the Empress Dowager, Gu Yunwan, and that the reason he was able to ascend to the throne was because he had climbed into Gu Yunwan's bed. These kinds of ugly words were countless. But after he killed a group of people who had created these rumors, his ears were much quieter.
"Someone is seeking death again?" Mingyue Cheng's eyes narrowed and a cold aura burst forth from his body. "It seems that my methods are not ruthless enough, so it is not enough to deter those people."
Seeing Mingyue Cheng like this, Gu Yunwan sighed.
"I say, Mingyue Cheng, you can't use me as a shield every time something happens. That's right! My relationship with you is indeed very strong, but you can't harm a friend like this! Those words are so unpleasant to hear. You are thick-skinned and used to being dissolute, but I am still a virgin and have to marry in the future! "
"Cough cough!" Gu Yunwan's words caused Fowle to choke on his saliva.
"Fowle, why are you coughing? Did I say something wrong!? Which bastard promised me that he would fake his death and return me my freedom, allowing me to leave the Imperial Palace? In the end, this bastard just left and threw the Southern Phoenix Country to me. You judge whether or not he is bullying me! "
"Your Highness, this servant doesn't know. This servant is stupid."
Fowle wasn't that stupid. On one side was the Empress Dowager, and on the other side was his master. It wasn't good to say either one, so he could only pinch his nose and pretend not to understand.
"Fowle, you've also learned to be cunning! You're the same as him! "
Gu Yunwan placed her hands on her hips and stood in front of Mingyue Cheng. "Speak! When are you going back? I have long wanted to leave the Imperial Palace and leave my current identity. You must do what you promised me, or else I will hate you for the rest of my life! "
"Xiao Wan, I'm busy right now. I really can't leave!"
Mingyue Cheng had his own difficulties. Even if he left, he had to wait until Murong Qi Qi's position stabilized! Although Jin Mo's medical skills were excellent, he wasn't a member of the Evil Clan, so he didn't know as much about gu poisons as him. The first three months of pregnancy were the most prone to accidents. With him by her side, it would be much better.
"Give me a reason!" Gu Yunwan moved in front of Mingyue Cheng and stared into his eyes. She wanted to see if he was lying or if he was playing tricks.
Mingyue Cheng's black eyes were like two deep pools. Gu Yunwan looked at him for a while and suddenly felt like she was being sucked into his eyes. Gu Yunwan hurriedly shook her head and retreated to the side.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Gu Yunwan's "strange" expression, Mingyue Cheng became curious and moved closer. "Is there something on my face?"
"Nothing!" Gu Yunwan composed herself and glanced at Mingyue Cheng. "I'm just not used to it! Back then, you were the same height as me. After not seeing you for more than ten years, you're much taller than me, so I'm a little unconvinced! And your eyes, they're different from before! "
Gu Yunwan's childish words made Mingyue Cheng laugh. His mood also became much better. Facing this "brother" of his when they were young, Mingyue Cheng relaxed his body and lazily leaned back on the chair. "I'm a man, so naturally I have to be taller than a woman!"
Mingyue Cheng's words stung Gu Yunwan. She hated being a woman the most in her life. She wanted to be an indomitable man, but she just had to be a woman, so she always felt regret in her heart. Now that Mingyue Cheng was purposely "angering" her, how could Gu Yunwan not be angry?
"Ming Yue Cheng, listen carefully. Go back to the Southern Phoenix Nation right now! Immediately! Immediately! "
"Don't, don't, don't!" Seeing that Gu Yunwan was angry, Mingyue Cheng hurriedly smiled and coaxed her. "Little Wan, I was just joking. You can't be so petty! In my heart, Little Wan has always been very magnanimous. She's someone who would do anything for her brother! "
