My wife is not a demon

Even she herself couldn't explain why she took her feelings into consideration.

As a power struggler, feelings are the most fatal weakness. She was able to achieve what she is today because she was cold-blooded enough back then.

That's why she prefers the same cold-blooded Suzaku Envoy.

Sometimes it feels like the two are the same person.

But now Xiao Yuer has changed.

He started to care about a certain man, became a lot more indecisive, and the blood flowing in his body became warmer.

And she seems to have changed a little bit.

This is not a good phenomenon.

During the most critical period of fighting for power, you must not be fettered by feelings, otherwise you will inevitably fall into a catastrophe.

That's why she was able to stay rational when facing Chen Mu.

Man, it will only affect the speed at which she draws the knife.

So she always kept a certain distance from Chen Mu, and didn't let the other party take advantage of it.

She firmly holds the initiative.

"Xiao Yu'er, Xiao Yu'er, when will you truly become a person like Ai Jia and not be trapped by feelings?"

After being disturbed by the little emperor, the queen mother didn't bother to read the memorial.

Supporting Xue's chin with one hand, he was in a daze.

After a while, she took out the collection of stories that Chen Mu gave her, flipped through them casually, and read the stories that she had read several times.

On the nth day when Chen Mu was away, I missed him...

"Report to the Empress Dowager, Mr. Gu begging to see you." Suddenly, a female officer's gentle voice came from outside the hall.

Gu Jianling?

The queen mother frowned slightly, her expression quite surprised.

As the commander of the highest officer of Hades, since the Queen Mother came to power, this legendary figure has rarely appeared in the court.

In private, he does not interact with other officials.

Most of the time they live in seclusion in their huts.

And those who are active in the court are his four adopted sons and adopted daughters.

Although low-key, no one dared to underestimate this character.

Back then, the Empress Dowager was able to ascend to the pinnacle of power because of his secret assistance, and at the same time suppressed Xichang so much that she couldn't hold her head up.

However, what is unexpected is that he chose to retire at the most beautiful time.

Not many people can do this.

"Let him in."

The queen mother wanted to close Chen Mu's story collection, but after thinking about it, she put it on the table and picked up a memorial.

Soon, four guards carried a sedan chair into the hall.

On the chair is a man.

Wears a bronze mask.

He didn't deliberately play with his identity, but because of his disabled legs, he needed bearers to carry him in.

"See the Queen Mother for a humble position."

Gu Jianling waved his hand to signal the guard who carried the chair to leave the hall, and bowed his hands to salute the Queen Mother. His voice was as gentle as fine wine, which was very comfortable to hear.

The Empress Dowager raised a pair of piercing bright eyes, her beautiful face was gentle and elegant, and she said with a smile:

"Master Gu is a real rare visitor. After careful calculation, it seems that the Ai family has not seen you for seven or eight months. I am really afraid that your old bones will suddenly be buried in the soil one day."

"There is no matter in the DPRK that lowly officials need to discuss, so there is no need to come out."

Gu Jianling spoke in a very casual tone.

It's like chatting with an old friend.

The Empress Dowager did not feel offended by this, flipping through the memorial in her hand with her slender fingers, said with a faint smile: "You really live a very leisurely life, and there are almost no officials who scold you in the court, and I guess it will be a little later." Days, no one will remember you."

"That's a good thing, the worst thing a humble official fears is being scolded."

Gu Jianling laughed. "Furthermore, people will eventually be buried in the loess, and will be forgotten sooner or later. No one remembers better."

"Is this planning to escape into Buddhism?"

Looking at the bronze mask on the man's face, the queen mother joked.

Even if the man wears a mask, it's hard to conceal the commander's outstanding temperament and aloof arrogance.

He is the only one who can be allowed here without taking off his mask.

"I'm not interested in Buddhism."

Gu Jianling said.

The empress dowager lowered her cold eyes, and her pleasant voice softened a bit: "Tell me, what is the reason for coming to Aijia. Every time you appear, Aijia will have a headache."

Gu Jianling said lightly: "It's because of Xiao Yu'er."

The Empress Dowager suddenly raised her head and looked at the other party with extremely sharp eyes, like a sharp blade, looking at a stranger.

"What's the matter, Xiao Yuer." The queen mother said coldly.

Gu Jianling paused for a few seconds before slowly opening his mouth: "I heard that Destiny Valley wants Xiao Yu'er to go to them for testing."

"Shouldn't be."

A sarcasm appeared on the empress dowager's jade-like beautiful cheeks, "Your friendship with Destiny Valley is very ordinary, why did you help them to intercede today, could it be that the other party gave you a gift that you couldn't refuse?"

"If I really received some gift from the Valley of Destiny, I wouldn't come here."

Gu Jianling said helplessly.
