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

Ji Qiyun had good thoughts in her mind.

The worst that can happen is that I don't put in any effort. I deliberately failed, so who can say anything to me?

Gu Nian's home.

Today, Su Qingge and the others are still not at home. In the huge house, only Wu Ningdong is there.

Gu Nian didn't ask much about this. He guessed that his wife was planning something important.

Then let them be.

Anyway, my wife and the others are the ones I don’t need to worry about the least.

As for yourself?

Gu Nian said that there was absolutely no problem being alone.

Although I am not overconfident, at least for now, there is no danger.

There is no need for my wife to show up at all.

As for why Wu Ningdong was in...

Gu Nian thought that maybe his wife didn't want to take Wu Ningdong out to play?

After all, Wu Ningdong is also a Daqian person. No matter what his wife and others want to do in Daqian, it is not convenient to do it in front of his wife.

Therefore, Gu Nian now just plans to continue waiting here.

What Wu Chunmu could think of, Gu Nian could naturally think of as well.

Although the chaos in the capital has been resolved, those who fled and the students and former officials of those who were arrested will probably not be able to live in peace.

Afterwards, these people will inevitably cause trouble.

By then, the two people who still have an unstable grasp of the power in their hands may not be able to cope with such a situation at all.

We still have to ask Gu Nian to help.

not to mention.

According to what that charming Taoist nun said, Daqian will probably suffer from natural disasters in the future.

After all, it doesn't seem difficult for people who know astrology to observe the night sky and predict the upcoming weather.

And based on the current fragility of Daqian.

Once a natural disaster occurs, I am afraid that it will really cause great suffering to all people, and it is unknown how many people will die.

By then, Daqian will probably not be stable.

Since he chose to help, Gu Nian naturally wouldn't give up halfway.

At the very least, we have to let Daqian stabilize first.

Gu Nian did this not for the empress and the empress dowager, nor for Wu Ningdong, but simply for himself.

For his kind heart.

Whether it's meddling in other people's business or being bored.

Now that he has such ability and there is such a thing that needs someone to do, he will not put himself and his wife in danger.

Gu Nian was also happy about this.

It's just something that happens easily, no big deal.

As for this leisure time.

Gu Nian used it to practice sword skills and improve himself.

And now is the time for Gu Nian to practice sword.

Boom boom boom!

There was a sudden knock on the courtyard door, and then, a slightly awkward and gentle voice sounded outside Gu Nian's door.

"Mr. Gu, are you home?"

Is this... Ji Qiyun?

Gu Nian raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.

Why is she here?

Logically speaking, among the emperor and empress combination, the one who is most familiar to Gu Nian is Wu Chunmu.

As for Ji Qiyun, I have only met her a few times.

The first time Gu Nian was invited to a banquet in the palace, Wu Chunmu was very talkative, but Ji Qiyun looked aloof and just sat there eating and drinking without saying a word.

Occasionally, when he was called over to talk to her, he seemed to be trying hard to appear gentle.

The second time they met was on the day when Gu Nian swept through the capital.

But Ji Qiyun was completely a supporting role that day.

The target of the rebellious remarks was Wu Chunmu, and it was also Wu Chunmu who responded. Ji Qiyun didn't say much at all.

He just stood there with a cold face, and no one knew what he was thinking with the Royal Guards.

In short.

No matter how you look at it, Gu Nian is not very familiar with the other party, and the other party should not take the initiative to find Gu Nian.

But she was an empress after all, so Gu Nian naturally had to be polite to her.

He stretched out his hand and a sword energy flew over, opening the far door.

"Your Majesty, please come in."

While talking.

Gu Nian put down the sword in his hand, ignored Wu Ningdong's service, picked up a towel to wipe the sweat off his face, and put on his coat.

Before, there were only the two of them at home. They were all family and had met each other everywhere, so Gu Nian naturally didn't worry about anything.

But now there is a stranger, a girl, so Gu Nian would not be so rude.

However, because he was in a hurry, he just put on his clothes casually and looked a little unkempt.

"Your Majesty, what brings you here?"

Making a gesture to invite him in, Gu Nian asked curiously.

"Nothing... I just came to thank Mr. Gu."

Ji Qiyun bowed to Gu Nianyingying and then tried hard to force a smile.

"Mr. Gu has done such a great favor for Daqian. If it weren't for Mr. Gu, Daqian would really be gone."

"Such a great favor, I should thank you in every possible way."

Gu Nian didn't want to be polite about this.

This is the fact, he did save Daqian.

Since it is your own credit, why not admit it?

No need.

Gu Nian said very calmly,

"It's just something I did casually, but I'll accept the thank you."

All Gu Nian wanted was verbal thanks.

He didn't think the other party could give him anything.

After all, Gu Nian believed that the other party should be very clear that he lacked nothing.

however.

What Gu Nian didn't expect was that Ji Qiyun came directly in front of Gu Nian.

She took the towel from Gu Nian's hand and then gently wiped the sweat from Gu Nian's forehead.

"I... I have nothing, and Mr. Gu is from a noble family and has everything he needs. I really can't think of how to thank Mr. Gu."

"So, I can only serve you like this. It's just a token of my appreciation. Please don't refuse, Mr. Gu."

Ji Qiyun's words were intermittent and incoherent.

After all, she was really nervous at the moment.

She came with a purpose, and although she herself did not intend to fulfill it, she came to tease the boy anyway.

For her, who had never had any contact with the opposite sex, this was completely impossible to adapt to and she didn't know what to do!

In addition, Gu Nian had just started practicing at this moment, and because of the exercise, his physical condition was at its best.

Simply put, it's very manly.

This is so different from his image as a beautiful boy!

This made the royal sister, who had never been in such close contact with the opposite sex, even more flustered.

There is also a hint of shyness.

Looking at Gu Nian's angular appearance through his clothes, Ji Qiyun's pretty face turned redder and she felt more shy and nervous in her heart.

But at this moment, Gu Nian felt very confused.

Just a token of your appreciation?

Your way of expressing your affection is to serve me?

You look so shy, are you really here to serve?

This is really suspicious!

It can't be...

Gu Nian had a slight headache.

Goodbye, there are enough people at home, there is really no need for more.

Wu Ningdong on the side became even more alert.

Great, someone is here to steal my job so soon?

Before Gu Nian could express any opinion, the towel in Ji Qiyun's hand had already fallen on Gu Nian's head.

She was trembling a little, but she tried her best to wipe the sweat off Gu Nian gently.

She looks like a little maid who is not very skilled in her job.

Wu Wu Ningdong, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch it any longer.

She hurried forward, took the towel from Ji Qiyun's hand very forcefully, and said very gently,

"Master, let me wipe your sweat."

If it was before, her gentleness was probably a disguise.

But at this moment, Wu Ningdong knew that his gentleness was real.

At least.

She really had a great liking for the young man in front of her.

At the beginning, Wu Ningdong wanted to use Gu Nian to follow him back and help him solve the Daqian issue.

But from being discovered and even punished again and again, she found that although this young man was very kind, he was no less intelligent than anyone else.

At least.

Her little thoughts and calculations were nothing in front of Gu Nian.

And then…

Although Gu Nian had never been calculated by her, he even kept refuting her.

But what Wu Ningdong saw was that Gu Nian was helping Daqian very seriously.

This place clearly has nothing to do with Gu Nian, and Gu Nian doesn't have any extra thoughts about Daqian.

But he worked harder and took more initiative than anyone else to change Daqian.
