The Rebirth of an Orphan

"Alan," Zhao Xihua grabbed Gu Lun's arm anxiously and whispered, "Just let me handle the singing and dancing, okay?"

"Zhao Xihua, it's not your fault that you were humiliated. It's my responsibility." Gu Lun responded in a low voice.

Before Zhao Xihua could digest Gu Lun's words, Gu Lun had already waved his hand at the court musicians and said, "Guangling San, everyone, be alert. If you don't play well and make the Queen Mother unhappy, I will take your heads."

After hearing this, the musicians dared not slack off. They knew that matters involving their heads could not be perfunctory.

Gu Lun took Zhao Xihua's hand and led her to a chair to sit down. He said loudly, "Your injuries haven't healed yet. Don't dance this dance. Otherwise, you will be laughed at. If you run out of energy and get hurt again, I will have to ask a doctor to help you recover. It's too much trouble."

After saying that, he turned around and started dancing to the rhythm of the music. Gu Lun's dancing followed the beat of the music, with a bit of masculine beauty and a hint of murderous aura.

The more this happened, the more shocked Zhao Xihua was. The man with a slender figure and noble temperament in the sunlight really shocked her heart.

No one has ever performed the dance of Guangling San so vividly as Gu Lun. Every movement is natural, powerful, and a little arrogant, which is so pleasing to the eye.

The people around were gradually stunned. No one expected that the most popular person around the Ninth Prince could not only help him plan the overall situation of the world, but also have such talents.

"His Excellency the President is here!" Suddenly a sharp voice came.

The Queen Mother's face suddenly changed. Why did the President come to the back garden when he was not in his office? Not only did he come, but he also came when Gu Lun was dancing?

As soon as the voice fell, President Mo Yuan slowly walked over, just in time to see Gu Lun's dance. His already ugly face became even gloomier.

As soon as he heard that Gu Lun was forced by the Queen Mother to dance for a group of women, he was immediately furious. Does the country want such behavior?

This Gu Lun had recently assisted Lao Jiu in handling several major cases, which had almost filled the national treasury by half. He was thinking of handing over the important protection of his palace to this young man whom he liked very much.

He wanted to make use of him because he understood that his country had long been on the decline. This century-old foundation needed someone who dared to reform and innovate, and who dared to fight to the end with those clans that only cared about their own interests. In Mo Yuan's opinion, Gu Lun's skills and mind were first-class, and he would be a future important official.

I didn't expect that I would be played around by a group of shallow women. It's really outrageous.

Although he is the biological son of the Queen Mother, he has never been close to this strict mother since he was a child. His rise to power, his every move, and even his feelings and marriage were all decided by the Queen Mother. He himself is just a tool in the hands of the Queen Mother.

Mo Yuan looked straight at the Queen Mother who was sitting in the main seat, walked forward to greet her, then turned to look at Gu Lun who was standing in the middle of the garden with his head bowed and said, "You are an important minister of the country, but you are so unruly. Do you still take the foundation of the country seriously?"

Gu Lun bowed to Mo Yuan and said, "Sir, I am guilty, but..."

He glanced at the Queen Mother above and continued, "It's just that the Queen Mother's order cannot be disobeyed, and I have no choice."

"Gu Lun, you are so bold." The Queen Mother did not expect Gu Lun to complain to her in person. This was too bold.

Before, Gu Lun stood on the side of the Ninth Prince and he and the Queen Mother were already at odds with each other. Now that their conflict was laid out in the open, the Queen Mother was caught off guard.

Zhao Xihua's heart began to beat. Although Gu Lun had a bad temper, he would never be impulsive. He should know that Mo Yuan was the biological son of Queen Mother Wang. Wouldn't he invite disaster if he openly slapped Queen Mother Wang in the face? Unless...

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She had heard that the President and the Queen Mother had a bad relationship. He could achieve what he has today because he had a powerful mother. Although the President was supported by the Queen Mother, no leader would want to be constrained by others, right?

Moreover, the Queen Mother's preference for the Ling family is also a threat to Mo Yuan. This is something Zhao Xihua cannot understand. Why does the Queen Mother favor the Ling family so much, almost to the point of having no bottom line?

If it weren't for his last name Ling, Queen Mother Wang would probably even let Ling Qian take the position of president, right?

Zhao Xihua's panic gradually calmed down, but Gu Lun's face showed no fear at all. He pointed at Zhao Xihua and said, "Your Excellency, I was forced to do this. My wife was treated as a dancer and made fun of here. If I don't show up and can't even protect my wife, wouldn't I be worse than an animal?"

Queen Mother Wang was really mad at Gu Lun. She didn't expect that Gu Lun would confront her for a country woman from Yuncheng.

Mo Yuan glanced at Miss Zi Ye beside the Queen Mother. Her calm and indifferent expression made his face even gloomier.

Ling Qian of the Ling family now controls the military power of a million troops, but his mother still indulges the Ling family. It would be fine if she indulged Ling Qian, but his mother treated the two little brats of the Ling family better than her own princes, which he could not tolerate.

What kind of trick did the Ling family use on their mother to make her treat Ling Qian like a mother?

Mo Yuan suppressed his inner restlessness, pushed out the unpleasant memories in his mind, and then looked at the women from the noble families around him.

"Hmph, don't think I don't know. I know very well what the Queen Mother likes. She has never had any interest in singing and dancing. It must be you who instigated the Queen Mother to do something that would not be performed at the National Assembly today. Well, don't you want to watch singing and dancing? Wouldn't it be better to send you all to the music hall to learn better?"

When Mo Yuan said this, his eyes were specifically looking at Ling Ziye. No matter how Ling Ziye pretended to be indifferent, she understood that the President was furious today because he wanted to deal with her, the eldest daughter of the Ling family.

Queen Mother Wang's expression changed even more. A trace of hatred flashed in her eyes. She turned to Mo Yuan and said, "You've gone too far. I'm old and I like the hustle and bustle. It just so happened that the girl from the Qin family said that the young lady of the Gu family was good at singing and dancing, so everyone asked her to perform. I didn't expect that the young man from the Gu family misunderstood it. Now everyone is happy, so don't dwell on it."

Mo Yuan's face turned even uglier. Was he using the Qin family's girl as a shield? But he was determined to make the Ling family look bad today.
