Chapter 183 Changes
Xu Mengdie's whole body tensed up, and when she raised her head, her eyes were a little blood red.

It's still her, and her fate is hard to change. The emperor pointed at her in the previous life, and he will point at her again in this life.It seemed that he had already seen the scene where the dragon chair and the phoenix seat were blown away. Xu Mengdie stood up tremblingly, with a very ugly look on his face.

"Your Majesty forgive me, my wife is in poor health today, it is not suitable to touch the sacred objects, I am afraid I will offend the gods."

"Huh?" Gu Chaobei looked at her and frowned slightly.The queen next to her helped to say: "Xu's complexion does not look very good, the emperor should let someone else come."

After being silent for a while, the emperor said helplessly, "Okay."

Xu Mengdie was stunned, the sense of familiarity around her was dissipated in the word "emperor". She had corrected all the mistakes in her previous life in this life.

He fell down as if he had lost his strength, and was caught by Gu Chaonan just in time.

"Are you okay?" Gu Chaonan looked at her worriedly: "It's really uncomfortable, so I'll take you back first."

Xu Mengdie shook her head, leaned on her husband's shoulder, closed her eyes and said, "How can I leave now, my husband has forgotten what I said?"

Gu Chaonan pursed his lips, he naturally did not forget.After planning for three years, isn't this the moment you've been waiting for?Just seeing her so weak, he felt a little... distressed.

It is enough to be the Marshal of the Army and Horses. At the beginning, he just wanted to gain a foothold in the court and be better than his elder brother.With Mengdie helping him all the way, he has gotten a lot more than he imagined, and he is actually satisfied.

He didn't know what Mengdie was worried about and what was hidden in her heart, but if possible, he really hoped that she could rest for a while.

"Since Mrs. Xu can't order, let General Gu come." The emperor said with a smile: "General Gu and Mrs. Xu have made great contributions to our dynasty. Since it is the blessing of the gods, it is better to give it to Mrs. Xu. She's in good health."

When the emperor said this, the courtiers were in an uproar, and the Empress Dowager Nian was also a little puzzled.The honor given to Gu Chaonan is enough, but now you want to give the Xu family the rare things that Fanbang paid tribute to?Xu is just a wife, not an officer.

Ambassador Huang Mao's face turned blue: "Your Majesty, the blessings of the gods can only be given to the emperor, and to the courtiers and noble ladies. They cannot afford it."

"Your gods still give blessings to others? Only to the emperor?" Gu Chaobei looked at the face of the yellow-haired ambassador, and chuckled: "I'm afraid it's unbelievable, I just want General Gu to give it to Xu." Shi, I want to see what kind of blessings will make people unbearable."

Foreign fire and shells are indeed not something ordinary people can afford.Xu Mengdie's face became even uglier, she stood up and said, "Think twice, Your Majesty!"

How did it become like this?When the emperor heard the blessing of the gods, wouldn't he immediately want to try it out with great interest?Why would you want to give her and Chaonan?

"I've thought twice, Mrs. Xu, you don't have to refuse." The emperor waved his hand, and Zhuiyun went down to invite Gu Chaonan out, and handed the torch to him.

Xu Mengdie almost fell to the ground, seeing the muzzle of the cannon turned towards her, her lips trembled, she looked at Gu Chaonan and shook her head: "No!"

Gu Chaonan was at a loss, he didn't know what this thing was for, but it was an imperial decree, how could he defy it in court?

Holding the torch and slowly approaching the iron bump, Gu Chaonan didn't think about anything else, but felt that if this blessing could make her sleep peacefully in the future, it would be great if she no longer had nightmares.

Xu Mengdie shook her head vigorously, her body was so stiff that she couldn't move, tears were streaming down her face.There was a strange discussion at the banquet, what a wonderful thing, why is Xu so afraid?

The smile on Gu Chaobei's face gradually faded, and Shen Guiyan also closed his eyes.

Xu Mengdie also knew that this thing would kill someone.Why didn't Mrs. Xu, who would never harm her, remind her a word?
What kind of heart is this safe?

"I don't want it!" Seeing that Gu Chaonan was about to ignite the lead core, Xu Mengdie screamed and rushed out, standing behind Gu Chaonan, trembling: "Don't point this thing at me."

No matter how much Ambassador Huang Mao winked at her, it was useless. Xu Mengdie was too frightened to pretend to be afraid of death.

There was a little silence in the hall, and Gu Chaonan supported Xu Mengdie with a dazed look on his face.Shen Guiyan sighed, sat on the top and said: "The ambassador still bestows blessings on the people, so let's face the outside of the hall. Sharing blessings with the people like this also shows the emperor's benevolence."

Ambassador Huang Mao didn't dare speak up, let alone order.Gu Chaonan was fearless, so he obediently turned the muzzle of the cannon to the outside, and then ignited the lead.

"boom--"

There was a thunderstorm, which scared many officials present to throw their cups and plates, and a big fireball flew outside wrapped in thick smoke, blasting a huge crater in the open space in front of Juhuan Pavilion.

Everyone was in an uproar, and the Empress Dowager Nian also stood up in surprise.Gu Chaobei and Shen Guiyan looked very serious, and only the national teacher was drinking and eating meat below, without even looking this way.

It's messed up, he knew that the destiny would be reversed, the result had changed, life and death had changed, so there was nothing he could do about it.

Now that we have gone in another direction, let things develop. What you sow will bring you what you want. People's fate is not so easily reversed.

The people who were so frightened didn't react, and Ambassador Huang Mao took the opportunity to turn around and wanted to run away.

"Catch him." The emperor ordered lightly.

Zhuiyun moved extremely fast, and immediately went to detain Huangmao.Gu Chaonan immediately turned around and knelt down towards the emperor, "Fortunately, the emperor didn't try it himself. If such a thing is lit on the emperor, it must be... Fanbang has something wrong in his heart!"

Xu Mengdie also knelt down, her mood still not calm.

Gu Chaobei looked at the two of them, smiled lightly and said: "This can also be considered General Gu, he deserves credit for escorting him. Put this ambassador in the sky prison, and the state banquet will be suspended. Minister of the Ministry of War and the generals who have military amulets, please join me. Move to the Imperial Study Room."

"Yes."

The palace was destroyed by this shell, and they needed someone to repair it. Everyone walked around the huge black pit, but Shen Guiyan took Xu Mengdie's hand and looked at it curiously.

"Mengdie, do you know what this is?" Shen Guiyan asked with a smile.

"Back to the empress... I don't know, but I am subconsciously afraid of this thing, so I dare not let it face me." Xu Mengdie calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that it was not the blessing of the gods, but the blessing of the gods. It's God's punishment."

"That's it..." Shen Guiyan nodded, and took her to the Yonghe Palace: "It seems that you are quite tired, so go to this palace and wait for your husband first."

Xu Mengdie nodded, raised her eyes to look at Shen Guiyan's eyes, she didn't let up her smile, as if she didn't doubt her at all.
