My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

As the day faded into twilight, the remaining sunlight resembled blood.

An old demon with white hair, draped in a black robe, emerged from an unknown hell for young girls and walked towards the East Street.

He exuded a strong scent of blood, and a sinister smile played on his lips.

Tonight, as long as he succeeded, he could leave the Great Jing and return to the Immortal Palace. There was no need for him to disguise himself as the amiable Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War anymore!

The surrounding commoners seemed to sense the sinister aura emanating from the old demon. As he passed by, they hurriedly retreated into their houses.

The old demon paid no attention to them. His goal was clear - to seize Lin Tan'er, promote her to the Immortal Stage, and make her one of the top powerhouses on the continent.

As the old demon approached the Gu Residence, not far away, he suddenly sniffed the air. After a moment of confusion in his eyes, a hint of excitement appeared.

"The Great Jing's dragon aura... Hiss! There's actually a woman from the Great Jing royal family here?!"

Hearing two voices coming from behind, the old demon immediately moved to the nearby shadows, crouched down, and concealed his presence.

In his field of vision, two ordinary-looking women walked towards him from a distance.

"Calculating the time, Master should be finishing the review of the memorials soon, right?" Liu Yexi said. She had been involved in the entire plan for Gu Lan's entry into the palace today, personally instructing Master Mao and the palace maid.

Mu Yuyan nodded slightly, "If nothing unexpected happens, he should be back soon... Although these are trivial matters in the court, they are beneficial for Master Gu to take charge of the court in the future. After handling them, I'll have a reason to proceed with the next step of the plan..."

Under the guise of a chess game, they deceived the Marquis into the palace. Then, they used the pretext of reviewing memorials to deepen the "relationship between monarch and minister."

This was the beginning of Mu Yuyan's plan. Simultaneously, within the palace, the deliberate praises of the female Emperor by palace maids and eunuchs, intended for Gu Lan to hear, were crucial in subtly changing his impression of the female Emperor!

Adding a bit of influence from her side, it wouldn't be long before Master Gu would see her in a new light... Mu Yuyan smiled, feeling exceptionally clever.

...

As they approached the main gate of the Gu Residence, the hidden old demon's eyes were filled with confusion.

He looked at Mu Yuyan, who was unremarkable in appearance and even less attractive than those abducted girls... But she exuded an extremely rich dragon aura, a fatal temptation for him!

"When did the royal family have such a woman? Could it be Her Majesty in disguise?"

The old demon was initially cautious. However, as Mu Yuyan's dragon aura drew nearer, his eyes turned red, and he began to gasp heavily.

"It's not a big deal. I can always escape... After all, even if Her Majesty of the Great Jing is only at the early stages of the Immortal Stage, there is no one in the capital who can keep me here instantly!"

"Moreover, I am ambushing. The probability of success is very high... If she's not, capturing this woman's rich dragon aura might give me the chance to achieve a realm beyond the ordinary in the future!"

The old demon licked his lips, his eyes gleaming. When Mu Yuyan was closest to him, he suddenly pounced out of the darkness, carrying an extremely evil and filthy aura!

He extended his black claws, one reaching towards Mu Yuyan and the other towards Liu Yexi.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

Liu Yexi instinctively protected Mu Yuyan. At the first moment the old demon rushed out, Mu Yuyan reacted. Her eyes turned icy, her pretty face slightly stiffened, and she gracefully protected her maid. With a swift motion, a sharp golden sword qi was unleashed!

The aura of the Sword Immortal erupted suddenly!

The internal restlessness of the old demon was instantly extinguished!

"Sword Immortal?! You're actually the female Emperor!" He couldn't believe it, but the reality was before him.

However!

The old demon was not too panicked at this moment. He had left a contingency plan in advance.

Even if it was the female Emperor, so what? At most, he would endure a sword strike and then retreat. With his cultivation at the peak of the Imperial Stage, he wouldn't die easily...

The female Emperor's sword qi pierced through him. The old demon grimaced in pain, immediately turning around. He had no intention of returning to the Gu Residence. He just wanted to escape quickly and find another opportunity later.

But at this moment!

An unexpected force of suction came from behind, forcibly restraining his movements!

"What?!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He turned back in shock, only to find that the suction force came from the light veil worn by the female Emperor. The fabric floated without wind—a self-protective Immortal Stage spirit garment!

Mu Yuyan was also somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected that the precious item her husband gave her would have such an unexpected effect!

She extended her jade-like fingers, forming a sword edge, and a golden radiance swiftly slashed down!

The head of the old demon instantly rolled to the ground, his face filled with unwillingness!

"Yexi, go take a look."

Mu Yuyan took a breath, her beautiful eyes slightly condensed, "This person has formidable cultivation, and his techniques are quite evil. How could there be such a sinister cultivator in the capital?"

Thinking of the rapist case that the Imperial Announcements Bureau and Imperial Guards hadn't solved these days, the female Emperor had a bad premonition!

"Yes!"

Liu Yexi approached to inspect the severed head. After seeing it clearly, her pupils suddenly contracted.

"What's wrong?"

Mu Yuyan asked in a cold voice.

"Your Majesty... This person is an official in our court, it seems to be the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, Sun!"

Liu Yexi supervised the officials, and she had some impressions of their appearances. As for Sun, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, she had always considered him a figure who kept to himself, not enthusiastic about court affairs, a senior court official who minded his own business!

But unexpectedly!

This old court official was actually a hidden wolf in sheep's clothing, concealed beneath everyone's noses!

When Liu Yexi came back to her senses, she quickly said with a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, this servant has failed in her duty!"

The Imperial Announcements Bureau's investigation into the rapist case was not progressing well. Even the officials' supervision was negligent. If this were an ordinary official, it would already be grounds for questioning and execution!

"...Yexi, get up. This person is at the peak of the Imperial Stage. There may be more secrets behind this. It's normal that you couldn't perceive it."

Mu Yuyan's phoenix-like eyes narrowed, and her pretty face was covered in frost.

"For the rapist case, it seems this person is responsible. You immediately go seal his residence, make sure... to rescue people first, and then capture and interrogate him!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go now!"

Liu Yexi knew the severity of this matter and her face was stern.

...

Different from the intensity on East Street.

In the pavilion at Baihua Garden.

Gu Lan shook his hand, put away the wolf hair brush, and finally finished reviewing the stack of memorials.

"I didn't expect that taking over the world's affairs with the female Emperor's pen could bring such unexpected gains. This is much faster than reading books and cultivating!"

Gu Lan was satisfied with the powerful capabilities of the system.

At this moment. Your next chapter awaits on empire

He stood up and looked around. The day was no longer early, but the female official had not appeared again.

"I wonder if I can run into my sister-in-law..." Gu Lan walked out of the pavilion, preparing to stroll back home.

The female official just now was at best considered delicate and had no resemblance to his wife's appearance. Gu Lan knew it definitely wasn't his wife's sister.

"Stop!"

A figure suddenly appeared behind the pavilion, and the commanding voice stopped Gu Lan. It was none other than the Commander Luo Chen who hadn't been dealt with at the gate of the palace.

"You said you were invited by His Majesty. Why are you alone?"

"Just now, I saw you writing and painting. What were you writing?"
