As soon as I opened my eyes, I was dressed as a stepmother of two bear children

Chapter 439 You Finally Asked

In the solemn Qinzheng Hall, a man in black stood aside and answered with his eyes downcast.

——Sifu

In the courtyard, Wan Qi Si Chen was sitting in the octagonal gazebo in fluttering white clothes. There were all kinds of exquisite food on the stone table, and the lotus flowers in front of him were in full bloom.

"Your Majesty, there is an imperial decree from the palace calling you into the palace." Ming Lang stepped forward, holding a yellow brocade scroll imperial decree in his hand, and said expressionlessly.

Wan Teng Sichen paused, as if he breathed a sigh of relief, and sprinkled all the fish food in his hand into the pond, causing hundreds of koi to jump radially out of the water.

"He was finally willing to speak."

"Master, I heard that the empress has fainted. Will the emperor order you to enter the palace immediately?" Qingming was a little worried. A wise gentleman with a gully in his chest, there are some things that he might not have thought of.
Wan Tu Sichen was obviously not worried, and said lightly, "It is to let him find out that Li'er's body can no longer be dragged. Instead of wasting words, it is better for him to understand this truth."

Qingming nodded half-understood, the master has always been relentless, and this time is no exception.

"Master, do you know why you were called into the palace this time?" Ming Lang frowned.

Wan Teng Sichen clapped his hands, his eyes looked over the lotus pond, and fell on Xiao Tuanzi who was having fun in the courtyard, it goes without saying.

Minglang opened his eyes slightly, and the worry in his heart was even more apparent, "Then master, can you think of how to explain it?"

"I have a clear conscience, why do I need to explain?" Wan Qi Sichen raised his eyebrows, and then said lightly, "It's getting late, let's enter the palace."

"Yes! This subordinate will make arrangements now." Ming Lang nodded in response, that's fine, the matter is imminent and cannot be delayed any longer.

Wan Tuo Sichen responded lightly, his eyes fell on the small dumpling made of powder and jade, and his expression softened unconsciously.

Outside the Hall of Qinzheng, Jin Zhong walked ahead and led Wanqi Sichen towards the palace.

"Your Majesty, the Nanzhao envoy has arrived." Jin Zhong said in a firm voice.

Gu Jingyao responded lightly, put down the folder in his hand, and looked up.

"I've seen Your Majesty." Wan Qi Sichen bowed his hands in a light salute, as casual as ever.

"Give me a seat." Gu Jingyao nodded with a calm expression on his face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wan Qi Sichen twitched the corners of his mouth, sat down unceremoniously, and raised his eyes to meet Gu Jingyao's.

He got up and walked down, sat opposite him, "Does the emperor know that I called you into the palace this time, why?"

Gu Jingyao stared at him closely as he spoke, with a half-smile.

"I don't know." Wanqi Sichen said in a calm voice neither humble nor overbearing.

"Wanqi Sichen, maybe I should call you a national teacher?" Gu Jingyao chuckled lightly, and paused every word.

Wan Tuo Sichen paused, and then laughed out loud, but he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, "I didn't expect His Majesty to know the identity of this gentleman so soon, it really shouldn't be underestimated!"

Hearing his half-truth and half-fake praise, Gu Jingyao was unmoved, "No country will send an envoy to let the national teacher go on an envoy. You came all the way from Nanzhao. Why, why did you approach Li'er, Li'er? What is the relationship with the former Nanzhao High Priest?"

Wan Tu Sichen's expression turned cold completely, he thought he was doing it for the sake of his youth, but he did not expect that he had already investigated these things, and he underestimated her.

"Since His Majesty can find out these things, naturally he should also be able to find out why I came here."

Wan Tuo Sichen calmly said, "That's right, Li'er is the daughter my sister took away."

Gu Jingyao frowned and did not speak, staring at him with burning eyes. It is not that he has not guessed before, but he was still a little surprised to hear it with his own ears.

"Why are you so sure." Gu Jingyao pursed her lips, Qiu Yeli was from Nanzhao.

"Because of some accidents, my sister left Nanzhao overnight with the child shortly after giving birth, but she was still hunted down and ended up in Qingping Village by accident. Knowing that she was doomed, she used fake death pills to make the child hide. After one catastrophe, the child was indeed saved in the end, but she remained alone in a foreign land forever."

Wan Cheng Sichen spoke slowly, with a look of grief flashing across his expression. After so many years, this incident is still a lingering pain in his heart. If he hadn't left back then, everything would have been different.
Gu Jingyao listened quietly, naturally he didn't miss the slightest expression on his face.

Wanqi Sichen turned to look at Gu Jingyao, and said seriously, "Wanqi family is a big family in Nanzhao, respected by all people, even higher than the royal family's prestige, and my sister is the most outstanding high priest in the family. The Qi family has a special bloodline, and they have been protected by the Lu family for these years, if the poison in Li'er's body is not understood, she will definitely die of blood exhaustion."

What he said was serious, Gu Jingyao frowned even tighter, but he didn't interrupt or question.

"Your Majesty doesn't believe it?" Wan Qi Si Chen looked at him and asked, frowning.

"I have no choice." Gu Jingyao pursed her lips, turned away her face and said coldly, yes, Qiu Yeli's illness has not progressed at the moment, and even though she has unparalleled medical skills, she is helpless against this bloody weed, maybe it is really like Wanqi Sichen It is said that the Wanqi family has a special bloodline, so no matter what, he must go to Nanzhao this time.

Seeing this, Wan Cheng Sichen breathed a sigh of relief, and he felt more fond of Gu Jingyao in his heart, and he thought it would take a lot of words to persuade him comfortably.

"When are you leaving?" Gu Jingyao frowned, Li'er couldn't wait any longer, he watched every day, wishing to bear all the pain for her, the feeling of powerlessness was really uncomfortable.

Wan Qi Si Chen raised his eyebrows, "You can do it anytime, but your Majesty can rest assured that the queen can go to Nanzhao?"

Hearing this, Gu Jingyao turned around and gave him a cold look, "I will go with me, and I will ask the national teacher to conceal my identity for me."

Wan Tuo Sichen was obviously a little surprised, and couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty is willing to abandon the people of Nanzhao?"

Gu Jingyao pursed his lips, "Nanzhao is full of waste, and the government is well-organized and the people are harmonious. Even if there are no people here, they will live and work in peace and contentment, but Li'er only has me."

Wan Cheng Sichen curled his lips and said nothing more, "Okay, since His Majesty has made a decision, please leave as soon as possible."

Gu Jingyao nodded, "There is Lao Guoshi, and besides," he said, looking at him with burning eyes, "you are naughty and disturbing, so the Guoshi should send someone to send him back."

He looked at him calmly, and spoke lightly, as if he was talking about something unimportant. Wan Qi Sichen paused slightly, thinking that he would never ask about Gu Liunian again, but he didn't expect what he said. She looked at him for a while with such determination, and then said calmly, "Your Majesty's words are serious, but the empress is currently unwell, and great happiness and great sorrow are not good for her. If not, the Lord of Japan will send her back in person."
