They are really not NPCs, please stop it, lady.

However, if this is the case, the price to pay would be too high.

After all, Wu Ningdong seemed to have given her entire being to Gu Nian. If they didn't give anything in return and just provided some superficial service, it might not satisfy Gu Nian.

If you want to be treated the same way as others, you must at least pay the same price as others.

However, this is just Wu Chunmu’s idea for now.

If she hadn't had to, she wouldn't have gone this far.

In short, it is better to be prepared first. After all, it is better to be prepared.

"Is this really possible?"

Ji Qiyun blinked, feeling shocked by Wu Chunmu's boldness.

She didn't expect that the Queen Mother could be so bold as to want to use that member of the Su family!

"This isn't exploitation, it's mutual benefit."

A smile appeared on Wu Chunmu's lips.

"We gave him what he wanted, and when he was happy, he gave us some of what we wanted. Isn't that normal?"

It sounds like that.

but…

Ji Qiyun always felt that something was not right. She always felt that if she didn't handle it well, she would lose all her capital.

But this has nothing to do with her. After all, she is just a puppet and what she says does not count at all.

And just when the two of them had everything arranged.

Gu Nian had also arrived at the palace and was respectfully brought here by the maid.

"Master Gu, please take a seat. Qiyun and I have been busy preparing the dinner for you and haven't had time to come and pick you up. Please bear with me."

While talking.

She gave Ji Qiyun a look and then hurriedly introduced,

"This is the current emperor of our Daqian Dynasty. Qiyun was very happy to hear that you were coming and insisted on coming to accompany you in person."

"This girl is still young. If she does anything wrong, please don't blame her."

After listening to Wu Chunmu's words, Gu Nian understood a little more about the relationship between the two.

This is not simply the empress dowager controlling the government, it is clear that the emperor has become a puppet emperor!

Ji Qiyun is not young. In Gu Nian's opinion, she is older than his sister Ye, but not as old as his wife.

He is already this age, and he has even become the emperor.

But you still keep calling me a little girl and ignorant.

Any emperor, even one with little real power, would probably be unable to hold back his anger at this moment.

But Ji Qiyun didn't react at all and still looked well-behaved.

If this isn’t a puppet emperor, what is it?

To be honest, today's Daqian really has all the factors that lead to the destruction of a country.

Even Gu Nian felt that the current situation was a little tricky.

But he didn't say much, just casually clasped his fists.

"Gu Nian greets His Majesty."

See this.

Ji Qiyun hurriedly said,

"That's not true, Lord Gu. It's our honor to have you come to our Daqian. Please don't be polite to us. Just treat this place as your own home."

Having said that, Gu Nian is not an arrogant and domineering person, so he naturally would not be so unscrupulous.

Under the courtesy of the two, Gu Nian sat in his seat.

Subsequently.

Gu Nian didn't waste any more time talking to the two of them, but directly said,

"I won't hide it from you two."

"The main reason I came here this time is to help Daqian stabilize."

"Do you have any plans for Daqian's current situation?"

Come to help Daqian stabilize?

When Gu Nian said this, neither of them believed it.

After all, the name of the Su family is too intimidating, even though we know that for Su Qingge, the entire Daqian is nothing.

But they still subconsciously speculate.

But no matter what the two of them thought, since Gu Nian said so, they couldn't say anything else.

After thinking carefully, Wu Chunmu said to Gu Nian,

"This... is not that we don't have a plan, but the situation in Daqian is too complicated right now. We can't be too hasty and can only take it step by step."

With a sigh, Wu Chunmu said to Gu Nian,

"The title of Zhenguogong is hereditary and has been passed down since the founding of Daqian. This generation of Zhenguogong has previously pacified the barbarians and holds immense influence in the court."

"There's also the King of Pingnan. Actually, he was just a duke before, but he also participated in the suppression of the barbarians."

After hesitating for a moment, Wu Chunmu continued,

"His merits shouldn't warrant a title of king, but for some reason, the late emperor gave him one."

Afterwards, Wu Chunmu told Gu Nian some of the culprits who caused the current chaos in the capital.

To sum up, from the prime minister and princes to the civil and military officials, basically everyone has some little thoughts of their own.

Those with high status and great power will take the lead, while those with low status will each take sides.

In short, there are really not many people who stand on the side of the Daqian royal family at this moment.

Everyone can see clearly that the Daqian royal family no longer has any advantages, so there is really no need to stand on the side of the Daqian royal family.

However, the princes of the same generation as the previous emperor did not make any movement at this moment.

Not only did he not come out to seize power, he also did not choose to help Wu Chunmu.

They are like outsiders, watching the storm unfold.

Something is obviously wrong.

Or, they really are giving up, but that's obviously unlikely.

After all, all their status and privileges are based on the existence of Daqian.

The stronger Daqian is, the more stable their status will be and the better their lives will be. If Daqian is gone, they will just be ordinary people.

Even worse than ordinary people.

They will never remain indifferent to matters that concern their lives and property.

Or, they are hiding in the dark, and those who are now in the open are just their agents.

They let people like the Duke of Zhenguo and the Prince of Pingnan come out to stir up trouble, while they themselves sat behind the scenes and reaped the benefits.

In comparison, this possibility is obviously more reasonable.

And if that's the case, that would be interesting.

It seems that I have quite a few enemies.

Gu Nian narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking carefully about his action plan, and constantly improving it.

The other side.

Seeing that Gu Nian fell silent, Wu Chunmu and Ji Qiyun looked at each other and saw a hint of confusion in each other's eyes.

What is this person thinking?

Volume 222: Chapter 222 Chapter The Ingenious Gong Lianxin, the Ambitious Queen Mother

I always feel like I can't quite understand his thoughts.

Are those big shots so difficult to understand?

But in fact, Gu Nian’s idea is very simple.

In addition to helping Wu Ningdong, he also came to resolve the problems of the Daqian Dynasty.

He is not a pushover, but he really can't bear to see so many people suffer.

Besides, it also has some benefits for him. At least he can exercise. Gu Nian has no objection to doing it.

can only say.

I was first frightened by Gu Nian's identity.

Then he used his usual scheming and calculating thinking to speculate about Gu Nian.

In the eyes of these two people, it is normal that Gu Nian’s purpose is not simple.

Seeing that Gu Nian’s silence was getting longer and longer.

Wu Chunmu finally couldn't help it, picked up the wine, and sat next to Gu Nian.

She gave Ji Qiyun a wink, but Ji Qiyun pretended not to see it and ignored her at all.

At this point, Wu Chunmu was left with no choice but to take action himself.

"Master Gu, please drink quickly. This is the fine wine we specially prepared for you. If you don't drink it, it will all be wasted."

While talking.

She leaned in Gu Nian's arms with a charming smile on her face. She took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and handed it to Gu Nian's mouth.

She herself had never expected that, although she was already the Queen Mother of a country, she would still have to serve someone like this.

But... there was nothing she could do.

She really couldn't afford to offend this person. Even her title of queen mother meant nothing in this person's eyes.

Not as important as one of his maids.

Apart from this method, Wu Chunmu really couldn't think of any better way to please this young man.

The other side.

Ji Qiyun looked at Wu Chunmu with a complicated expression, not knowing what to say for a moment.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with Wu Chunmu's behavior.

After all, they had no choice but to do so when facing the Su family!

Wu Chunmu had no choice but to do it, it was not intentional.

However, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

When did the huge Daqian Dynasty become like this, requiring a queen mother to please and serve others?

This is really...

As expected, this Daqian, this royal family, is a huge quagmire, a complete abyss hell!

When will I be able to escape from this hell?

I think it should be soon.

Taking a deep breath, Ji Qiyun also picked up the wine glass, the smile on the corner of her mouth was a little stiff.

"Master Gu, please drink this glass of wine."

"Since you've come to Daqian, put aside all your worries and have a good time. We'll take care of everything and won't let you down."

Drinking the wine fed by the Queen Mother and looking at the Empress's forced smile, Gu Nian felt a little confused.

Why do I feel like something is slightly wrong?

Oh boy, am I the bad guy?
