"Wu Fan! Sothing bad has happened!"
In Wu Fan's residence, a young eunuch rushed in, visibly agitated.
However, Wu Fan's residence was not a place where anyone could barge freely.
He was stopped by soone and had to explain his purpose before soone went to inform Wu Fan.
"What's the matter? Haven't I taught you all not to panic in tis of trouble?"
Wu Fan was practicing calligraphy in his study, not bothering to raise his head.
The servant regained so composure upon hearing Wu Fan's calm voice and replied, "General, didn't you form an alliance with Commander Luo recently? He sent soone to inform you that the Queen has dispatched agents from the Imperial Announcents Bureau to arrest you."
Wu Fan's face twitched!
He imdiately broke the brush in his hand, the ink smudging the previous strokes on the paper.
"Where are they?" He asked, his expression extrely grim.
The servant was startled, "They are still in the reception hall."
Wu Fan rushed out hurriedly, his deanor now serious and urgent.
Soon, he learned about the situation in the court from the young eunuch.
Although he had claid illness and stayed at ho, he had arranged for spies outside the Hall of Supre Harmony.
Unfortunately, Mu Yuyan's actions were too swift, and the information from his spies hadn't reached him yet.
Instead, the young eunuch under Luo Chen's command, who seed quite clever, arrived at Wu Fan's residence first.
Although Luo Chen was no longer leading the Forbidden Army, he still had connections through his mother's relationships, making it easy to bribe a few eunuchs.
After understanding the situation, Wu Fan's face beca uncertain.
"No, it's not safe to stay here. I must escape first and then decide what to do."
But he also knew that the agents from the Imperial Announcents Bureau had likely sealed off the capital by now.
It was almost impossible to leave.
Although he had recruited private soldiers, they were no match for the power of the palace and the Imperial Announcents Bureau.
It would be like hitting a rock with an egg!
Moreover, his strength couldn't compare to Mu Yuyan's.
She was a Sword Immortal, while he was just a peak-level cultivator.
How could he compete?
However, Wu Fan was quite cunning.
He quickly disguised himself, making it unlikely for even familiar people to recognize him.
"Take to Luo's residence!" Wu Fan's eyes glead, his tone low and decisive.
Luo Chen was now his only hope in the city.
Although he wasn't leading the Forbidden Army anymore, he was still well-connected.
Among all the people in the city, Luo Chen was probably the only one who could help him.
"Yes!"
The young eunuch dared not defy Wu Fan's orders.
After all, Wu Fan was a powerful general who once held sway over the court and the country.
...
On the other side,
After Mu Yuyan left the Hall of Supre Harmony with a cold expression, she imdiately beca much gentler, both in public and private.
"Master Gu told that I should maintain a good mood after getting pregnant. A re Wu Fan can't ruin my mood."
She wore a faint smile, which would surprise anyone familiar with her.
When she returned to the Hall of Nurturing Harmony, she still didn't see the familiar figure.
Mu Yuyan's eyes dimd slightly.
"Mr. Gu hasn't returned yet after two days... I wonder why."
She thought to herself, pouting her red lips.
During this ti, she had been spending a lot of ti with Gu Lan, enjoying his attentive gestures as if making up for sothing.
She beca so addicted that she couldn't help but yearn for him even more when he was away for just two days.
Mu Yuyan sat down at her desk, ready to handle so morials.
"Hmm? What's this?"
She noticed a pile of morials with a small note tucked underneath. Driven by curiosity, she quickly picked it up.
"It's Mr. Gu's handwriting..."
After all, they had been together almost every day for nearly a year, so Mu Yuyan recognized Gu Lan's handwriting at a glance.
His handwriting was beautiful.
"So, Mr. Gu ca back once already, but unfortunately, I was delayed by that annoying censor during the morning court. If I had returned earlier, I might have been able to et Mr. Gu."
Mu Yuyan felt a bit angry just thinking about it. She continued to read the note left by Gu Lan.
"So, Mr. Gu has subdued the Misty Rain Building!"
She was astonished to read about Gu Lan's accomplishnts.
The Misty Rain Building was a terrifying assassin organization.
Rumor had it that even the Crown Prince of Great Yu was assassinated by the Misty Rain Building...
"But it seems that Mr. Gu hasn't dealt with the Abyssal Clan yet. As for the Dark Ridge, I have heard sothing about it..."
Mu Yuyan's eyes sparkled as she silently planned her next move.
Of course, there was also the Yin God Palace ntioned in the note!
Although she hadn't heard of the Yin God Palace at that level, nor did she know Gu Lan's intentions.
But for the sake of sharing Mr. Gu's worries, Mu Yuyan decided to mobilize the power of the court to investigate the Yin God Palace thoroughly.
She believed that there would be results soon...
Then there was the Abyssal Clan in the Dark Ridge.
If Mr. Gu wanted to go alone, he would probably waste more ti that could be spent with her...
Therefore, she decided to dispatch troops to besiege the Dark Ridge directly.
The morale of the troops was high after the recent conquest of the Blissful Immortal Palace, so they wouldn't fear the stubborn Abyssal Clan.
There was no need to let Mr. Gu know about these matters...
Mu Yuyan's lips curled slightly upwards as she quietly put the diary back in place, planning secretly.
Now that she knew Mr. Gu had returned, she felt much more at ease.
She stopped thinking about it and continued to handle the morials quietly.
Soon,
Gu Lan returned with a basket of small stead buns and soy milk.
Although the palace had its own kitchen and could make exquisite breakfast, Gu Lan had eaten in the palace a few tis before.
It was delicious, but it couldn't compare to the buns and snacks he bought from the streets of the capital.
"Madam, are you back from the court? Co and taste the stead buns I bought."
Dressed in clean blue clothes, Gu Lan walked into the Hall of Nurturing Harmony with a smile on his face.
"Speaking of stead buns, the ones from Li's on the east side of the city are the most authentic. Co and taste them."
"Okay."
After not seeing each other for two days, Mu Yuyan missed Gu Lan very much. She imdiately put down the morials and approached him.
"Feed !"
"...Sure."
Gu Lan was used to Madam's playful deanor.
He picked up a stead bun and fed it to Mu Yuyan. Stay updated with empire
Watching her chew the bun delicately like a hamster, her lips translucent and beautiful, he couldn't help but show a trace of an indulgent smile.
Both of them tacitly avoided ntioning what
Gu Lan had written in the diary and enjoyed their breakfast together.
Mu Yuyan was blushing from being stared at, "Why are you always watching ?"
"I want to feed Madam a deep-fried dough stick."
"You've had enough. Every ti you end up getting my dragon robe dirty... We should have more robes made by the palace servants in the future."
"..."
Soon, it was noon. Gu Lan, feeling refreshed and content, walked out of the Hall of Nurturing Harmony.
Leaving Mu Yuyan lying lazily on the bed, her beautiful face filled with satisfaction as she fell asleep.
As for paying respects to her teacher, there was always ti for that every day.
Let the teacher wait a little longer...
