in the sound of swallows

Chapter 181
It was true that he only came out to watch the lanterns, and when he returned, Gu Chaobei told the Empress Dowager Nian about the excitement and prosperity of the people, without mentioning anything about the blue-eyed beauty.Shen Guiyan didn't know where the arrested people ended up going, but there was no storm around, and no one asked about the blue-eyed beauty.

Xu Mengdie still came into the palace not long after, either to give the prince some precious medicinal materials, or to chat with her, with a natural expression, still as considerate as before, always for her.

How could such a person be a bad person?
The eldest prince doesn't like to be served by the treasure fan now, and hangs out with Nuo'er every day.That girl Nuo'er was also clever, running in and out, changing ways to find interesting things for the eldest prince, and the eldest prince couldn't do without her more and more, Bao Shan couldn't help but go to Shen Guiyan and said: "Your servant can rest assured! Married."

Shen Guiyan laughed, and when it came to getting married, Baoshan should really marry, and after choosing and choosing, she just chased each other, quarreled every day, and still couldn't separate.

When the matter of Fanbang coming to court this time is over, prepare a dowry for Baoshan.That's what she intended.

But this time Fanbang came to court, which was completely different from the last time.Some spies said that Fanbang had transported a huge iron bump and wanted to present it to the emperor.I don't know what the purpose of the iron bump that four people can barely lift up. When it entered the capital, it attracted many people to watch.

"Look at this, it's like an enlarged firecracker, with a ignited core on it."

"Yeah, it looks really majestic."

Fanbang's ambassador has also been changed, a man with wrinkled yellow hair, who is full of joy when he enters the city gate.

"Ambassador, the emperor has ordered you to rest in Gu's mansion first." Gu Chaodong came to greet him in person.

Huang Mao looked at him in surprise: "Shouldn't you go to the palace? Why do you want to rest in Gu's mansion?"

Gu Chaodong smiled elegantly: "The ambassador forgot that the beauty sent by your country three years ago is still in Gu's mansion. The emperor arranged the ambassador to be in Gu's mansion. Naturally, it has deep intentions. I hope the ambassador will understand more."

That means, wouldn't it be better to entertain you in a place where your acquaintances are present?
Huang Mao shrugged, glanced at the person next to him and said: "Okay, go to Gu's mansion, this gift is precious, don't touch it, it is dedicated to His Majesty."

"Don't worry." Gu Chaodong made a "please" gesture.

The people next to him walked forward with the crowd, turned around halfway, and headed for a remote alley.

When Fanbang came to court, the street was very lively, but walking through the alley to the mansion of Generalissimo Bingma, there were no people on the way.

After knocking on the door twice, the backyard creaked open, the man sneaked in, and followed the maid to the main courtyard.

Xu Mengdie was leaning on the soft couch in a daze, her face extremely pale.

Today is the fourth year of Emperor Mingye, on April [-]th, it is not suitable to travel, not to marry, not to move graves, and not to move house.

She still remembered that in her last life, when she had a miscarriage, she wrongly blamed Shen Guiyan and hated her to the bone, and the two had long since had a grudge.So much so that later Shen Guiyan and Gu Chaobei flew to Huang Tengda, but her calculating husband-in-law was only the Sima in front of the imperial court.

It was also in the last life, that is, today, Gu Chaonan, who was the former Sima of the Imperial Palace, brought her to attend the state banquet.

This is where the tragedy begins.

That iron lump is not a spectacle in the prosperous age, but a foreign cannon, a single shell can take the lives of several people.But the ambassador of Fanbang aimed his cannon at the emperor, and asked the queen to come and light the fuse above.

Shen Guiyan didn't order it, she was afraid of this thing, so the emperor pointed her to order it.

Xu Mengdie chuckled, she was really stupid in her previous life, she thought it was some kind of glory, but when it was lit, the emperor and queen mother were engulfed by the shell flames, Shen Guiyan was distraught, and directly ordered her to be pushed out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded.

She didn't know what happened afterwards, what happened to Shen Guiyan, and who would sit in Jiangshan again.But she knew that she was unwilling to die.

Reliving this life again is the opportunity God gave her to make up for her regrets and correct all the mistakes of the previous life.She can be prosperous, prosperous, and support Shen Guiyan all the way up, helping her again and again.

All just to change the ending for today.

Shen Guiyan has always been curious about why she treats her so well, but it's actually nothing, because fate is hard to reverse, if she is not kind to her, if she doesn't use her to climb up step by step, she might be pointed to set that thing on fire today.

And in this life, she is already the wife of the Generalissimo, even if the emperor lets her go again, she can still refuse with excuses.

She has the power and status to reject the emperor's order. What's more, after this tragedy repeats, this country may still fall into her and Chao Nan's hands!

This is what she has been planning and calculating for so many years.

Now Shen Guiyan regards her as a confidant, Xu Zhuangzhou also strives to win Master Zhou's trust, and Gu Chaonan is treated like a real brother by the emperor. Her plan is proceeding without any deviation.

"Ma'am?" Shuang'er led someone in and called her softly.

Xu Mengdie woke up with a start, lost her composure slightly, her eyes were full of horror, and her eyes were startled.

"It's okay." Quickly regaining consciousness, Xu Mengdie looked at the person in front and smiled, "What's wrong?"

A man in common clothes came forward and whispered: "The ambassador of Fanbang has already entered Beijing, and the emperor arranged for the ambassador to live in Gu's residence."

Gu Fu?Xu Mengdie frowned. Last time, she lived in the palace.But it doesn't matter, a small change won't cause any big disturbances, no matter he is in Gu's mansion or in the palace, the end result will be the same.

She knows everything, Xu Mengdie, in this life, she will never let herself live in vain again.

"The threshold for Gu's mansion is high, and the mansion is renovating the fish pond. The ambassador refused to enter at the gate." Zhuiyun came to report: "Does the emperor want to change the plan?"

"No need." The emperor ordered while changing his clothes: "Prepare the sedan chair, I will go out of the palace in person and send the ambassador into Gu's residence."

Well done, why do you have to go to Gufu?Shen Guiyan helped him tie his coat, thought for a while and said: "The concubine also wants to go, so there is nothing wrong with the palace."

Gu Chaobei nodded: "Alright."

He happened to be on the sedan chair, so he showed Shen Guiyan a secret letter.

"What is this?" Shen Guiyan held the secret letter and took out the letter paper to read.

"I've been letting people monitor Blue Eyes." Gu Chaobei said flatly, "I finally understand what's going on with the arrangement for the Lantern Festival."

This letter was to be sent by Blue Eyes, and there was nothing else on it, but the distance between the seats of Juhuan Pavilion, the location layout, and the direction were marked on it.

"Map?" Shen Guiyan was a little confused, but praised: "After such a long time, she can still remember the layout of the Juhuan Pavilion in such detail. It's really rare."

"She didn't draw it."
