My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

"Master, did you just say something bad about Her Majesty? This is a crime, you know!" Xiao Fei'er glared at him.

"No, how could I?" Seeing her unhappy expression, Zhang Qingwei quickly shut up, feeling guilty. It seemed inappropriate for a scholar to talk about the embarrassing moments of his students...

"But there's no other way!" Gu Lan had given too much! That chess manual was invaluable, capable of bringing its owner to the level of Gu Lan and making them invincible.

"This doesn't set a precedent!" Xiao Fei'er was afraid that he might reveal embarrassing stories from her childhood to Gu Lan in the future, so she sternly warned him again.

"Okay, okay!" Zhang Qingwei lowered his eyebrows and accepted it obediently.

Seeing this, Gu Lan smiled and didn't think much about it. He considered listening to the female Emperor's little stories for a while, as it would help him understand more about the character's past and personality.

He took out a chess manual from the system space and handed it to the eagerly shining Zhang Qingwei. "Here you go, yours."

"Thank you, young friend!" Zhang Qingwei received it with gratitude.

Gu Lan then handed another music score to Xiao Fei'er. "Here you go."

"Thank you, Master Gu!" Xiao Fei'er, even though still a bit angry, hurriedly received it with both hands and expressed her gratitude.

She quickly opened it and was shocked by the incredibly beautiful poems inside. Xiao Fei'er muttered with her red lips, her eyes becoming enchanted and intoxicated:

"There is a beauty, unforgettable at first sight. A day without seeing her is like madness. The phoenix soars, seeking its mate across the four seas...

Phoenix, oh phoenix, return to your homeland, soaring through the four seas to seek your mate. The time has not yet come, with no destination in sight..."

Xiao Fei'er was murmuring with reddened lips, her eyes lost in fascination. Watching two celebrities treat her casually written pieces as treasures, she couldn't help but wish to kneel down and thank them.

Gu Lan felt... the days of copying public documents were always so simple and plain!

"Brother, come and see, who is that?" The little brother by the window seemed to have discovered someone extraordinary and beckoned Gu Lan over.

Gu Lan went to the window and looked down. In the alley behind, there were many people wearing straw hats and black windbreakers, resembling wandering martial artists. They all had a sword at their waists, with the lowest strength being in the Nurture Realm and the highest in the King Realm.

"With this uniform and the straw hats... this force seems to be the killer organization mentioned in the original work," Gu Lan squinted, murmuring thoughtfully. "But what are they doing in the Great Jing?"

"Who's doing what?" In the blink of an eye, Zhang Qingwei's face, covered with white hair, appeared in front of him. It was normal for him to talk to himself.

"Those people there," Gu Lan pointed and said softly, "seem to be the Night Walkers, the killer organization."

"Night Walkers?!" Hearing this term, Xiao Fei'er was stunned and quickly walked over.

"This is the most famous killer organization in the martial world, with branches in the four major dynasties. It is said that their top assassin has already reached the Immortal Realm!"

Xiao Fei'er's beautiful eyes became serious. "Such a group of people, why would they come to the Great Jing at this time?"

"Taking people's money, eliminating disasters for others," Gu Lan recalled the Night Walkers' purpose in the original work and said indifferently, "They are a group of people who only care about money and not relationships. They roam in these dark alleys during the day and come out at night to kill for rewards."

"Who are they going to kill?" Xiao Fei'er anxiously asked.

"Who knows!" Gu Lan rolled his eyes and said, "Coming to the capital, they're probably here to kill high-ranking officials. Could they be here to kill you, the courtesan?"

Xiao Fei'er: "..."

"Well said." Zhang Qingwei, the old man, unusually serious today, said sincerely,

"The mastermind behind the Night Walkers had dealings with me many years ago. They are not easy to deal with... and since this organization acts without warning, it's better to be cautious!"

Immediately, he looked at Gu Lan and said, "Young friend, I'll excuse myself for today. I'll go report this matter and let the palace be more vigilant. Unexpectedly, you're quite reliable in critical moments..." Gu Lan smiled faintly, "Master, please go ahead."

"I am currently in the imperial city!"

The master of Confucianism and Daoism, words match actions. Zhang Qingwei's figure slowly dissipated, leaving only Gu Lan and Xiao Fei'er in the room. Oh, and a little brother.

"Young Master, do you still want to listen to the music?" Xiao Fei'er, seeing the old man going to report, felt a bit relieved and asked slowly.

Gu Lan stretched lazily, smiled casually, and said, "No, my wife has prepared dinner at home, waiting for me... Zhongren, let's go!"

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Fei'er opened her mouth, wanting to say something but hesitated.

However, the two figures left the warm pavilion without any nostalgia, gradually disappearing from Xiao Fei'er's sight.

Gu Lan didn't take the Feng Qiu Huang with him, but Xiao Fei'er held the music score to her chest, feeling somewhat unexplainably unhappy.

...

"Yuyan, Yexi, don't go out alone recently. The capital is not very peaceful." During dinner, Gu Lan suddenly spoke. Mu Yuyan and Liu Yexi were both stunned.

"What's wrong, Master Gu?"

"Today, while at the Jixia Academy, I saw people who looked like assassins in the alley behind. According to Master Zhang, they seem to be the notorious 'Night Walkers' from the martial world!"

Gu Lan sipped the nourishing porridge made by his wife and leisurely said, "Night Walkers?"

Mu Yuyan returned early today and didn't wait for Zhang Qingwei. At this moment, she was slightly surprised to hear about this famous organization.

"Yuyan, you may not know that the Night Walkers have always been cunning and often launch surprise attacks when you least expect it."

Gu Lan recalled the plot of the original work, gradually figuring out one of the key characters.

"The mastermind behind the Night Walkers is called Mo Yu Shenjian, Li Xiong. It is said that he can kill from ten miles away, and his archery skills are mysterious. Coming to the capital now, he might be planning to assassinate a court official..."

Coming to the capital to kill a court official? How audacious!

Mu Yuyan was shocked and angry.

However, Night Walkers had always been rampant, and all major dynasties were helpless against them. She didn't know much about the information.

"Night Walkers have thirty-six top assassins and seventy-two second-tier assassins, not to mention countless subordinates, all of whom are extraordinary and extremely evil."

Gu Lan cleared his throat and added, "Of course, cough, these are all said by Master Zhang Qingwei. He reminded us to be careful recently."

Mu Yuyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "In just a few days, your relationship with Master Zhang seems to have improved so much?"

"The affinity between scholars!" Gu Lan nodded and meditated, "By the way! My lady, especially don't go near the residences of those high-ranking officials, especially the Residence of the Great Chancellor's party..."

He speculated. If someone really hired Night Walkers to kill officials, they would probably target the highest level, and the Great Chancellor's party was the most likely. After all, among the few people with real power in the court, the Great Chancellor's party had the highest status and offended the most people!

As for killing the female Emperor...

Gu Lan thought that the Night Walkers organization probably wouldn't dare to take on such a big task.

After saying all this, Mu Yuyan cautiously exchanged glances with Liu Yexi. Both understood each other's thoughts.

A killer organization suddenly appeared in the capital. Liu Yexi naturally knew what to do, nodded imperceptibly, and at this moment, a long-lost mechanical voice rang in Gu Lan's mind.
