Chapter 389 Zhao Hunjun, who wants beauty but not power
Before Zhao Yan finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a beard trotted along the path she had just walked and came to her, panting. He cupped his hands towards her and said:
"Your Majesty, the matter we discussed just now, you see——"
"——Just do what you said!" Zhao Yan responded .
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
After sending the bearded middle-aged man away, Zhao Yan's eyes fell on Gu Xu again.
“Tell me, what happened just now?”
Gu Xu could already see at this time that she temporarily dropped her hand after hearing that something happened to her. Official duties came to me in a hurry.
This made him secretly moved.
“Don’t do this next time,” he advised. “The king should put state affairs first. Especially in the past few days when you have just ascended the throne, you must not make any mistakes.
"I can handle these problems well on my own.
"If you delay important things because of me, I'm afraid others will say that I am flattering the king, causing harm to the country and the people, and saying that you--"
“——As long as you have beauty, you don’t care about the country? "Zhao Yan chuckled lightly and looked at him with meaningful eyes, "Gu Meiren, even if I really want to be a foolish king who is greedy for beauty and harms the country, I still need you to agree to be the evil concubine who brings harm to the country! "
Gu Xu coughed dryly and avoided her eyes, not wanting to discuss this topic with her anymore.
Then he pointed to the teapot with poisonous tea and said, "That little maid just now, In your name, this pot of tea was delivered to my room.
"The tea is mixed with a colorless, odorless, imperceptible poison.
"You should remember that after I came back from Beiming, I mastered the ability to deduce fortune. Not only can I tell fortunes to others, I could also clearly foresee the crisis that was about to happen to me. "
As soon as Gu Xu finished speaking, another guard in black hurriedly came to their side, bowed to Zhao Yan and said: "Your Majesty, the identity of the perpetrator has been found.
“Her ancestral home is in the Hedong Province of Daqi. Her ancestors came to Youzhou with their family to avoid taxes and labor. After working as a gangster for decades, they recently obtained a household registration..."
Hearing the words of the black-clothed guard, Gu Xu couldn't help but sigh silently. In order to put the blame on Da Qi, the man behind the scenes actually found a Qi person to come and put on a whole show.
"Did you find out who was behind her?" Zhao Yan asked.
“Sorry, Your Majesty, I am incompetent,” the guard responded. “The mastermind behind the scenes seems to have put a sealing spell on her body. As long as she asks relevant questions about her, she will instantly lose the ability to speak. The ability only makes me bark like an animal."
"Actually, I have roughly guessed who is behind this." At this time, Gu Xu suddenly said.
"Who is it?" Zhao Yan asked.
Gu Xu did not say anything immediately, but glanced around with his eyes.
Zhao Yan instantly understood what he meant - there were many people here and it was difficult to talk too much.
“You don’t have to say it directly,” she said, “Just use your fingers to write in the palm of my hand.” Hand it to Gu Xu.
Gu Xu looked at her with a strange look.
Actually, his original intention just now was to hint Zhao Yan to speak in another place, or to cast some spells to block the sound and spiritual perception.
Zhao Yan's behavior at this moment was obviously beyond his expectation, making him wonder if the other party was trying another way to tease him.
But Zhao Yan’s eyes were so serious that he could not find any evidence at all.
So he smiled helplessly, grabbed the soft white hand, and traced the words "Zhao Changqi" in her hand.
Zhao Yan raised her head slightly and narrowed her eyes.
Her expression at the moment was like a cat that was satisfied with having its neck scratched. After Gu Xu finished writing, her expression returned to seriousness.
"It is indeed them." She said in a cold voice, and her eyes became particularly sharp, "I had expected that they would take action. But I really didn't expect that they would be so impatient.
“If not every child of the Zhao family needs to make an oath in front of the altar of the God of Fire, I really want to uproot them. "
I have to say that Zhao Yan is really a magical woman. She can always complete the identity transformation between a charming fairy and a majestic monarch in the blink of an eye.
" "Don't worry," Gu Xu said softly, "You have just ascended the throne recently and your foundation is not stable. If you act rashly, you may alarm the enemy and cause adverse effects.
"Anyway, the person they want to kill is me.
"Just leave this matter to me. "
"You? Zhao Yan frowned, "With your little cultivation, can you really deal with them?" "
"There is something I forgot to tell you. "Gu Xu smiled.
"What's the matter? ”
"Look at me."
Zhao Yan looked into his eyes with some confusion.
At this moment, she clearly felt that the blood power in her body suddenly lost control, became weaker and weaker, and might completely disappear at any time.
But it returned to its original state after a few seconds, as if it was all just her imagination.
“Can you control the power of our blood?”
"This is an ability I realized when I went to the Fire Temple not long ago," Gu Xu nodded, "In addition to the power of blood, it can also affect the power gained by the priests through faith."
"No wonder Those priests have been very obedient and obedient in front of you recently," Zhao Yan glanced at him sideways, "So now, the wealth and life of our whole family are under your control?
“Should I find an opportunity to get rid of you, so that I won’t be threatened by you in the future, become your slave, and be manipulated by you at will? "
Gu Xu knew she was joking.
He immediately lowered his head and pretended to be respectful and said: "I don't dare to have such thoughts about the king. ”
"I guess you don't have the guts either." Zhao Yan smiled.
While speaking, she looked at his handsome face carefully, and thought that Gu Xu was really interesting. He was thoughtful and resourceful when dealing with enemies, but in front of her he was a coward and a dull fool. Sometimes I really can't figure out whether he is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.
But perhaps, it was precisely because of this that she became strongly interested in him and tried every possible means to catch him.
If he was as frivolous and casual as other young men, she probably wouldn't think highly of him at all.
It would have been better if I had met him earlier. Zhao Yan said silently in her heart.
"Just do it." After a short silence, she reached out and patted his shoulder, "I'm here waiting for your good news. If you encounter trouble that cannot be solved, you must ask for help in time and don't show off."< br>
Gu Xu smiled and said: "Please don't worry, Your Majesty. I'm the best at this kind of thing."
"Whose thigh do you want to hug?" Zhao Yan She held her hands in front of her chest, narrowed her eyes, and looked at him with a threatening look, "How to hold me?"
At this moment, her fiery red clothes were gently fluttering in the breeze - the opening of her robe From her shorts, her long white legs were looming.
Gu Xu looked away, speechless for a moment.
