Chapter 182
Blue Eyes only entered the palace at the Fanbang Ceremony three years ago, but the handwriting on this secret letter is new. No one has such a good memory, and can draw so accurately the place that was seen three years ago.This painting can only be given to her by someone else.

And that person is very familiar with the layout of the palace, knowing the location of the emperor, queen mother and empress, so he specially marked it with red dots.

What are you marking this for?Shen Guiyan was very puzzled, looked at Gu Chaobei and said, "Is it possible for someone to plot something wrong?"

Gu Chaobei gently held her hand, and smiled lowly: "The mountains and rivers are wonderful now, they are all under my control, civil servants and military generals perform their duties, even if I suddenly disappear, just choose another person immediately, It can also quickly make the court adapt. Wenshou Mountain has fallen, and there is no longer any threat. Those who want to win the world, as long as they climb high enough, they can kill Zhen. Yan'er feels that under such temptation , will anyone be tempted?"

Shen Guiyan was stunned, then frowned: "It's not easy to kill the emperor."

"That's right, so I'm worried that Fanbang has some strange tricks, and I feel even more uneasy when I receive such a secret letter, so I want to go and have a look first." Gu Chaobei said: "Originally, I wanted to let the ambassador enter the palace directly. After giving Gu Chaonan a lot of rewards, thinking about the Lantern Festival, and adding such a letter, I changed my mind."

Shen Guiyan nodded: "The emperor is very considerate."

The emperor sighed: "I hope it's because I think too much. People who love brothers and sisters are already under one person and above ten thousand. How could they still have the idea of ​​seizing the throne?"

In the current situation of the imperial court, Gu Chaonan holds half of the military power, Yuwen Changqing and Shen Guiwu hold the remaining military power, and Princess Duanwen still has some.If the emperor dies suddenly, then it is very likely that Gu Chaonan helped the eldest prince to the throne.The Eldest Prince is too young, so he can only be manipulated by others. In the world at that time, I'm afraid it will be up to him to change people.

Shen Guiyan would always think of what Xu Mengdie said: "Mengdie will not harm the empress."

Since so long ago, she has always trusted her, and hoped that she would not disappoint herself.

"This thing can't wade in the water, I've already told you!" Ambassador Huang Mao was furious standing at the gate of Gu's mansion, refusing to enter the mansion even half a step with his iron lumps in his arms: "Let me live in another place!"

Gu Chaodong looked at him in embarrassment and said: "Water is not a big deal, isn't your iron bump painted with paint? It won't rust."

Where is the problem of rusting or not!Huangmao shook his head vigorously: "You don't understand, this is a sacred item, it won't work if it gets wet!"

Gu Chaodong looked at him with a frown. There were already three floors inside and three floors outside, and the emperor's sedan chair had finally arrived.

The common people evaded, the guard of honor was spread out, Gu Chaobei brought Shen Guiyan down, looked at the ambassador and asked, "What's wrong with the ambassador?"

As soon as he saw the emperor, Huang Mao became energetic.Looking at at least two hundred armored soldiers behind the emperor, his face darkened, and he kept muttering in his heart, why did the emperor of the celestial dynasty bring so many people with him when he traveled.

"Your Majesty, there is water in Gu's mansion, and the gift that I want to give to the Emperor on behalf of our state must not touch water." The ambassador saluted and said, "This is the whole heart of our state."

The black lacquered iron bumps were covered by red silk and satin.Gu Chaobei was a little curious: "What is this for?"

Ambassador Fan Bang coughed lightly and said, "This is the blessing of the gods. You can only bless once a year, but you can bless many people. Just point this hole at the person you want to bless, and light the fuse on it."

Deceiving people and ignorance, what Huang Mao said was true.

Gu Chaobei chuckled, if it was normal, he would definitely come and try it himself with great interest.But now, he doubted the authenticity of what the ambassador said.

"Since this is the case, Gu's residence is inconvenient, so let's go to Shen's residence." The emperor said with a smile, "It's also a big place."

The ambassador was puzzled and said: "Why didn't you enter the palace?"

Shen Guiyan smiled and said: "The palace is also building a pool for the state banquet. If it enters the palace, this fetish will also get wet."

Serious nonsense, the palace is so big, if a pool is built in one place, other places will not be wet at all.

But when the empress said this, the ambassador could only nod in agreement, and reluctantly prepared to go to the Shen residence.

For the sake of etiquette, Shen Guiyan went to see him off in person, but the emperor stood in front of Gu's mansion, and waited for the ambassador to go far away before turning around and asking Gu Chaodong: "Where is your Madam?"

Gu Chaodong led the emperor into the mansion, with blue eyes waiting in the room, because she was not in good health, she was unable to meet the ambassador at the door.

Since marrying Gu Chaodong, Blue Eyes has never stopped crying, because it is not marriage at all, but imprisonment.She wanted to leave, but everyone here said that once you get married, you will stay here for the rest of your life.

She didn't want to, she had such a good time, why should she give it to a man who she didn't love at all and didn't love her at all?
After so many years, blue eyes have not figured out why the emperor, who was clearly interested in her at the state banquet, finally gave her to his courtiers, was it because of his helplessness?Then can she hope that one day, the emperor will regret it?
Just as he was about to laugh at himself for thinking too much, the door of the room was opened.When the blue eyes looked up, I felt that I might be dazzled.

"Madam Gu." The man who was as handsome as before, stood at the door and smiled at her.

The blue eyes were dumbfounded.

The state banquet was arranged on the second night of the ambassador's arrival in Beijing, and the Juhuan Pavilion was very lively. Xu Mengdie arrived early, and together with Gu Chaonan, they didn't sit in the front seat, but sat far away from the emperor.

The surrounding atmosphere made her very familiar, and everyone's face was exactly the same as in the previous life. Princess Duanwen came to greet her, and Yuwen Changqing took Gu Chaonan to chat for a while. This scene was different from the previous life, because this life , after all, they have already stood in a high position.

The opening was a court dance, that's right; the emperor was sitting in the middle of the Juhuan Pavilion hall, that's right; Shen Guiyan and the Empress Dowager Nian were very close to the emperor, that's also true.

Xu Mengdie didn't have a smile on her face at all, it was as if she was letting go of a past scene in front of her, making her feel dazed.

The ambassador offered a gift, and Huang Mao led the crowd, pushing the iron bump up.Xu Mengdie subconsciously moved a little further away from that thing.

"This is the blessing of the gods." The introduction of Tie Piodao was the same as what he said at the gate of Gu's mansion that day, and everyone was amazed when they heard it. It is really a rare and powerful thing.

"Then, who will ignite the lead core?" The emperor looked at Shen Guiyan with a smile: "Yan'er, let's go?"

Shen Guiyan glanced at the thing with some fear, shook her head and said, "The concubine is afraid."

"Then who should I turn to? It's an honor to ignite the lead core." The emperor glanced around in embarrassment, and his eyes fell on Xu Mengdie: "Why don't we let Mrs. Xu do some."
