Chapter 688 Emotional
After all, Gu Mohan seemed to hate others meddling in his feelings.

"That's what I mean," the Empress Dowager called to the side with a smile on her face, "Bring the person here."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nan Wanyan saw a eunuch walking in with a graceful woman.

The woman bowed in a sweet voice, "I have seen the great empress dowager."

Then she turned around and smiled lightly at Nan Wanyan, "I have met Miss Bai Zhi."

Only then did Nan Wanyan see clearly that this girl's eyes were affectionate, gentle and clear. Although she was wearing the clothes of a palace maid, her grace could not be concealed.

She has willow eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, and is gentle and pleasant. She is on par with the original Nan Qing. Every word and every action she takes shows her ladylike demeanor.

Nan Wanyan was stunned for a moment. Even she, a woman, felt that the girl in front of her was very good-looking and decent.

"What a beautiful woman."

Feng Yang looked away disdainfully, with an indifferent look on his face.

This appearance was far different from the princess's. Moreover, if Gu Mohan fell in love with another woman so easily, he would really let down the princess' sincerity towards him in the past.

He is not worthy to be the husband of their Queen of Great Xia!
The Queen Mother looked at the maid with satisfaction, and then introduced her to Nan Wanyan.

"This is Ruoxi, the eldest daughter of Count Su's family. The Ai family will give Ruoxi to you as a maid, and let her stay by your side as a maid."

"The emperor treats you as a substitute and will meet with you often. Ruoxi can also contact him. I hope you can make more matchmaking connections."

Nan Wanyan glanced at Su Ruoxi and saw the purity and excitement in her eyes, which reminded her of herself when she first fell in love.

I have to say that Su Ruoxi's figure and temperament are outstanding, and she must be a flower of interpretation. The Empress Dowager really worked hard for Gu Mohan.

She felt a little depressed for some reason, but she responded happily. After all, this was common sense.

"Yes, I will try my best to handle it, but I need to wrong Miss Ruoxi first."

Su Ruoxi blushed and shook her head, "It's Ruoxi's blessing to be able to follow Miss Bai Zhi. I won't feel wronged."

Among all the girls in Xiye, who is not full of admiration for Gu Mohan?

Of course she was no exception. Thinking of seeing the emperor up close, her heart was racing like a deer and she couldn't stop.

Nan Wanyan thought that she had said all the words. When she was about to leave, she saw Nanny Li suddenly entering the palace door and asked in a low voice, "The Empress Dowager, it's time to chant sutras. You have to go to the Buddhist temple today." Tang?"

Chanting?

Nan Wanyan glanced at the Queen Mother with some confusion. The Queen Mother did not have this habit before.

The Queen Mother noticed Nan Wanyan's gaze and sighed.

"Ever since the queen left, the Ai family will go to the Buddhist hall to chant sutras for her for an hour every day."

"Yan'er's child had a hard life. The Ai family originally thought that she could grow old together with the emperor, but unexpectedly, she died in a fire..."

"The fire was so fierce that day. The Ai family was afraid that it would be too painful for Yan'er to pass away, so they could only think of this way to save her so that she could be reincarnated as soon as possible and at least have an easier life in the next life."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but choke up.

How could she forget Yan'er and how could she be willing to leave Yan'er? Only she knew how painful it was for a white-haired person to give away to a black-haired person.

It's just that she feels that people have to look forward after all, and no matter how painful she is, she can't lead the way.

As the Empress Dowager, she had to cheer up and guide Gu Mohan to cheer up too.

After all, people cannot be resurrected after death. She has lost Yan'er and doesn't want to lose another grandson... Nanny Li's eyes were red, and she couldn't bear to comfort the Empress Dowager and said, "The Empress Dowager, I believe that the Queen Mother has knowledge under the spring." , you will definitely feel at ease.”

"Don't be too sad. Didn't the Queen miss you the most and miss you the most during her lifetime? I hope you are safe and healthy?"

The Queen Mother blinked her hazy tearful eyes, nodded her head and was speechless.

Nan Wanyan was stunned, staring at the distressed look of the Empress Dowager, feeling unspeakably stuffy and uncomfortable in her heart, and her eyes suddenly became moist.

Warmth filled her heart, apologetic and moved. Nan Wanyan lowered her eyes and said, "The Queen Mother, please rest assured that Minnu will do her best to complete the things you have entrusted to her."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "With your words, the Ai family is relieved."

"Okay, it's getting late. It's time for the Ai family to go chant sutras. You can take Ruoxi back and get acquainted with her."

Nan Wanyan responded, "Yes."

Aunt Li helped the Empress Dowager to stand up, while Nan Wanyan bowed to her solemnly, "I hope you will take good care of your health. The daughter of the people will retire."

Afterwards, Nan Wanyan left with Su Ruoxi.

……

After Gu Mohan separated from Nan Wanyan, he went to the imperial study.

Now that the palace affairs are almost done, he is sitting at the table, his slender hands looking cold and white.

Lifting up the sleeve of his right hand, the scars that snaked up like vines were reflected in his narrow and cold eyes. Over the past two months, he had glanced at her from time to time, warning himself to find her quickly.

Now, looking at the scar, he actually felt it was a bit ugly.

Shen Yu happened to come in at this moment and was shocked and distressed when he saw the burn marks on Gu Mohan's hands.

Thinking back to the beginning, the emperor refused to allow Dr. Jiang to see him. Otherwise, he would not have left such a shocking scar.

The emperor was obviously deeply in love with the empress, so how could he now be infatuated with a folk girl who had just arrived?
But he calmed down his thoughts, pursed his lips, lowered his head, and said respectfully to Gu Mohan, "Your Majesty, what you ordered your subordinates to do yesterday has come to fruition."

Gu Mohan put down his sleeves to cover his scars, his handsome face expressionless.

He said calmly, "Say."

Shen Yu did not dare to neglect and immediately replied, "My subordinates found out that Taifu Jiang had a lot of evidence of corruption and money-making during the lifetime of the late emperor. They had already caught him while he was extravagant and enjoying himself and handed him over to the police." It’s Dali Temple.”

“Dali Temple found out that the amount of embezzlement from his home was as much as [-] taels of gold!”

Hearing this, Gu Mohan's face turned ugly, "I really underestimated him. He actually embezzled so much money and took away the people's wealth. Tell Dali Temple that he will be severely punished! We must also strictly investigate his associates and eradicate them all!"

After he ascended the throne, he eliminated many of Gu Moling's people and the remnants of Concubine Qi's party, but he did not touch any of the former emperor's people, and the Taifu was the first!
Moreover, for such a serious crime as corruption, we must not tolerate adultery and must be severely punished!
Shen Yu immediately raised his hand: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Gu Mohan was troubled, and suddenly thought of something, "We were at the Major General's Mansion just now, did Qianying find any suspicious people coming in or out?"

Shen Yu said, "Back to the Emperor, neither my subordinates nor Qianying saw any suspicious people entering or leaving the Major General's Mansion."

"The group of assassins who appeared at that time were also very skilled in martial arts. I don't know which force they are from."

Gu Mohan was silent for a long time, and a hint of dark color flashed in his clear black eyes.

But he didn't say much. He just told Shen Yu, "Don't worry about those assassins. Keep an eye on everything in Yun Henghe's house. If any children leave the house, bring them to me immediately -"
