I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 1246 The Emperor Dies
Seeing Xia Ying who was constantly showing off her skills, the Pei family wanted to rush to kill her.

They had never seen a woman as high-profile as her who could find trouble!

However, no matter how angry they were, they had to admit that Xia Ying's words were right for the time being.At least now they are indeed lying on the merits of their ancestors to reap the benefits.

"But it's only temporary! Now the emperor has promised us to return to the Northwest Army. In the future, we will definitely bring out the good skills of our ancestors. At that time, the glory of the Pei clan will surely reappear, crushing your brilliance." No problem!"

"Okay, then I'll wait for the day when you come back and crush me face to face." Xia Ying nodded coolly.

Look at her careless behavior, she obviously didn't take his words seriously!

The one named Pei was even more angry.

"Ran Lingzhi, don't think that if your Ran family is turned over by the crown prince, you can pass our Pei family. If you are a slave for a day, you will be a slave for generations. In this life, your surname Ran can only be in Shenji The battalion provides assistance for our Pei family to research weapons. If we don't use your things on the front line, you are useless!"

Well, they couldn't quarrel with Xia Ying, so they turned their heads to attack Gu Tuo.

They thought that Gu Tuo, like the previous Ran family members, would listen to the training submissively!
However, after the two families have been overthrown together for so many years, Gu Tuo has already been spoiled by Xia Ying, and the other Ran family members have limited respect for these offshoots of the Pei family.

Now being ridiculed by these people, Gu Tuo responded unceremoniously: "If you don't want to use the weapons I developed, that's okay."

what did he say?
The Pei family was dumbfounded again.

But Gu Tuo is still talking!

"The Celestial Dynasty has stationed troops on all sides of the border, and there is a shortage of weapons in all armies. Since last year, when I have developed a powerful artillery, other armies have already sent letters wanting to add one to their own army. This year, my daughter did it again. The continuous crossbow has been released, and I am improving it. This has already been heard by people in other armies. They not only wrote to the Ministry of War, but some even found me through connections, hoping to invite me to the border to measure for them. Tailor-made weapons. Some people even offered to take their daughters with them.”

So, he is very popular now, how many people are begging him to make weapons, he is no longer the one chasing after the Pei family begging them to use their own things!

When the members of Ran's family heard this, they burst into laughter.

Pei's people were so angry that they blushed and their necks were thick.

"Heh, who wouldn't say big words? But whatever the facts are, we still have to see the truth!"

"I completely agree with Mr. Pei's words." Gu Tuo nodded immediately, "So, I have already made achievements in the Shenji Camp. Next, let's see if you can rewrite the glory of the Pei clan!"

After going around in a circle, the topic finally returned to what Xia Ying said just now - hurry up and make contributions on the battlefield, don't stand here and talk about it!
The group of people surnamed Pei are going crazy!
"It's reversed! Only a few years have passed, and the rules in the court have all been turned upside down? Even slaves dare to challenge their masters!"

Now, the only thing they can insist on is the original affiliation between Pei and Ran.

What Xia Ying hates the most is this kind of messy relationship!
Gu Tuo only pursed his lips. "They are all slaves, and they are still at the door of the master's house. You can just continue to fight."

Just now, how servile these people were in front of the emperor, they all saw it!But when they turned around, they came to Gu Tuo's family to act as their masters?
Simply ridiculous!
The one named Pei was ridiculed even more.

They were so angry that their fists creaked and creaked.If it weren't for the fact that they were at the gate of the palace now, they really had the urge to rush over to fight Gu Tuo.

Hey, their surname Pei are all warriors, and they definitely can't beat these people in words.But if they do it, they must win!

They made amends in their hearts again.

But before the fight between the two parties started, a dull bell rang suddenly from the palace.

The bell rang nine times in a row, and the buzzing lingering sound quickly spread in all directions, and soon spread to every corner of the capital.

The face of Pei's face changed drastically immediately, and they knelt down in unison again.

"emperor!"

The gnashing of teeth just now turned into a mournful cry in an instant.

Gu Tuo's expression also sank.

"The emperor is dead. It was the death knell just now."

He pulled Xia Ying to kneel down.

The emperor died, and the whole country mourned.

Naturally, they at the palace gate couldn't make a fuss.

The two parties returned home honestly, and white silk was hung everywhere inside and outside the palace, and the whole country paid filial piety to the emperor.

The same is true of Xia Ying's family.

For the next month, the capital was full of plains, and there were cries everywhere.

But Xia Ying couldn't cry, and neither could Gu Tuo.

"The emperor passed away so soon, this matter was beyond my expectation. I thought that a person like him would definitely cause trouble for thousands of years!" Gu Tuo and Xia Ying said with emotion, " As a result, he suffered for three months, and then he had a beautiful funeral, God is still too cheap for him!"

Until now, Gu Tuo still looks down on His Majesty the Emperor.

After all, the grievances of the Zhai clan represented by Gu Yuanlong have not been washed away yet!
Xia Ying pursed her lips. "The death of the emperor represents the past of an era. I don't know what will happen next when the prince ascends the throne!"

"Anyway, it won't be worse than when His Majesty the Emperor was alive." Gu Tuo said coolly.

Xia Ying tugged at the corner of her mouth. "It may be so for the common people in the world, but for our family and sister Fu... hey!"

She sighed helplessly.

Gu Tuo also lowered his face.

In fact, during this month, civil and military officials were busy arranging the funeral of the emperor and the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor, and there was another matter that was noisy, and that was——

The crown prince insisted on letting Fu to attend the emperor's funeral, and still as the emperor's granddaughter!
As soon as he made this request, he was opposed by civil and military officials.

However, the objection was ineffective. The crown prince was trying his best to accomplish this matter. After a month, he insisted on his own opinion. .

But Xia Ying knew very well: the reason why the prince must accomplish this matter is not because he loves sister Fu so much.He just wanted to use this incident to verify his uncompromising position above the court.

He is paving the way for him to take full power over the government.

Miss Fu is just a tool!
