My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 288: Meeting the Empress Again
Tokyo city.

royal palace.

Royal study room.

Gu Xiangnan's eyes were solemn. She stretched out her hand, took a memorial, and read it all at a glance.

She was the only one in the entire imperial study.

"Your Majesty, someone wants to see you."

The palace maid knelt outside the imperial study, her voice full of respect.

Gu Xiangnan turned a deaf ear to her and her voice rang out coldly:

"Didn't you say that?"

"I will not see anyone until Lord Ji's case is dealt with."

"The man who came here said his surname was Wu, and he was holding your Majesty's badge."

The palace maid hesitated for a moment and reported the truth.

"Pap~"

The memorial in Gu Xiangnan's hand slipped and fell on the table.

A trace of panic flashed across her face visibly.

Then he forced himself to remain calm, stood up, walked to the bronze mirror, and straightened his clothes. He did all these actions in one go.

"Let him...come in."

Gu Xiangnan himself did not realize that there was a hint of tremor in his usually calm voice.

"Yes."

"Da da da……"

Footsteps sounded.

Gu Xiangnan clenched his hands tightly.

There was still a calm expression on his face.

She swallowed and pursed her lips.

"I have met His Majesty."

Familiar voice.

Gu Xiangnan tried to appear calm:

"No need to be polite."

Zeng An raised his head with a grin, his eyes fixed on Gu Xiangnan's face.

The second wife is still the same second wife.

nice!
Every time I see this face.

Zeng Anmin would be amazed in his heart.

It's so beautiful.

He had only seen one woman in his past life who could rival this face.

The eldest princess, that’s his first wife.

The beauty of the two women is equally matched and each has her own merits.

"Wu..."

The empress was about to speak when her eyes fell on the palace maid waiting beside her.

Her face turned cold:
"Go back."

"Yes."

The palace maid did not dare to hesitate and respectfully left the imperial study.

"Wu Lang."

She spoke only after Gu Xiangnan and Zeng Anmin were left in the imperial study.

The stern look on his face had long since disappeared.

What replaced it was the tenderness like autumn water.

"Nan'er."

Zeng Anmin smiled and walked forward slowly.

He came to the empress and gently stroked her cheek:

"I haven't seen you for a few days. You look a little haggard."

"Could it be because of Ji Hongli?"

"I killed him in a moment of urgency that day, but I never thought that I would cause you trouble."

Feeling Zeng Anmin's warm palm.

The empress hurriedly shook her head and said, "It has nothing to do with Wu Lang."

"Wu Lang actually helped me a lot."

"Haha." Zeng Anmin looked around, then sat down on the dragon throne where Gu Xiangnan often sat.

He looked up at Gu Xiangnan, opened his hand and said, "Come."

Gu Xiangnan pursed her lips.

There was a hint of...shyness on her face.

"There are still some memorials that I haven't finished reading, Wu Lang, please wait a moment."

"Ok?"

Zeng Anmin raised his eyebrows and grinned:

"If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get it again. If you don't let me hold you now, I won't hold you even if you beg me later."

Even though I knew Zeng Anmin was joking.

The empress was still a little anxious.

There was a hint of blush on her face.

"Hmm~"

Warm and soft in my arms.

Zeng Anmin hugged the empress.

His eyes moved around Gu Xiangnan's bright yellow dragon robe.

He stared at the pair of raised dragon horns on Gu Xiangnan's chest for a while and said:
"Nan'er's dragon robe is much better looking than Emperor Jianhong's."

“It’s not only three-dimensional, but also very grand.”

Gu Xiangnan… "Pooh."

She spat at Zeng Anmin, a shy look on her face, and couldn't help but reach out and pat Zeng Anmin:
“Where are you looking!”

"hehe."

Zeng chuckled and held her little hand:

"Don't make trouble. I'm here today for something important."

"Wu Lang, didn't you come here specially to see me?" The empress blinked and looked at Zeng Anmin.

"of course."

Zeng Anmin spoke subconsciously, looking at Gu Xiangnan seriously:
"I'm here to save you."

"what?"

Gu Xiangnan was stunned.

She looked up at Zeng Anmin: "What do you mean?"

"Duke Cao may have rebelled."

Zeng Anmin looked straight at Gu Xiangnan, with a hint of solemnity in his voice.

The empress frowned.

Since she came to power.

Duke Cao has always been her right-hand man.

"Wu Lang is not very familiar with the situation of our Jiang Dynasty."

"Although Jiang Chengxi is a man of few words, he has never had any disloyalty towards our Great Jiang Nation..."

"He is loyal to Jiang Guo, but not necessarily to you."

Zeng Anmin confessed that he looked at the empress:

"Do you know about Taizu's relics?"

The empress paused.

Then he looked up suddenly.

There was an extremely sharp look in those phoenix eyes, and the voice subconsciously rose a little:

"How did Wu Lang know this?"

"Hmm?" Zeng Anmin felt the sharpness coming from the empress.

He frowned and squinted his eyes at Gu Xiangnan:
"What does Nan'er mean by this?"

The empress knew she had lost her composure, so she quickly gathered her thoughts and lowered her head:

"The Extreme Sky Necklace is extremely important to our Jiang Country..."

"I'm sorry... I was in a hurry just now..."

"Ah."

Zeng Anmin gently stroked the empress's back:

"Nan'er should know about Li Jian, the Duke of Ning of the Holy Dynasty, right?"

"Li Jian...wasn't he executed for rebellion a few days ago?" The empress pondered for a while, looked up at Zeng Anmin and asked:

"Could it be that he and..."

"A guess."

Zeng Anmin narrowed his eyes and said:
"This matter has to start with Bai Ziqing's trip to Liangjiang County to investigate the Eastern Religion's spies."

"........."

He didn't speak fast.

He only revealed some important information to the empress.

"The Great Ancestor's relics are lost?!"

The empress was completely shocked:
"When a traitor appeared in the Eastern Church, I always thought that Liu Bochin had only stolen an ordinary mustard seed space!!"

"It's actually a relic of our great ancestor?!"

"Did you not investigate the matter thoroughly afterwards?"

Zeng Anmin frowned and looked at the empress.

"This matter was handled by the head teacher himself, and I did not ask any further questions."

The empress slowly stood up, with a gloomy look in her eyes. She stood up and walked out:

"I want to go to the Eastern Church."

"The relics of Taizu are extremely important."

"No need." Zeng Anmin's eyes were deep, and he slowly took out a necklace from his arms.

"Look, what is this?"

The empress's eyes fell on Zeng Anmin's hand.

Her body suddenly paused, and she said in horror:

"Ultra-Sky Necklace!!"

"Why is it in Wu Lang's hands?"

Zeng Anmin glanced at the empress calmly:
"This thing is fake."

"But it's good enough to be mistaken for the real thing."

Hearing her words, the empress's brows slowly frowned:

"What Wu Lang means is..."

Zeng Anmin handed the necklace to the empress, then slowly stood up and walked to the table:

"It's always better to be prepared."

After saying this, he lowered his head and slowly picked up a memorial on the desk.

His eyes fell on it.

Duke Cao respects.

See these four words.

He opened the memorial without any hesitation.

But when his eyes fell on the memorial, his brows knitted tightly together and he murmured:

"not him……"
