Chapter 273 She Wants to Ascend the Throne
After the Empress was taken away, Gu Tianlin looked at Yuan Jinyue and her entourage and said, "Thank you all, immortals, for helping us get rid of a great calamity. Tonight, I will arrange a banquet to welcome you back."

Yuan Jinyue nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble Your Majesty."

Gu Tianlin looked at the ministers who were still standing there unharmed, and waved his hand: "You may all go back now. This morning court session is over. We will continue tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After all the ministers left, Gu Tianlin also dismissed the eunuchs and other servants around him.

"Fairy, what do you want to say to me?" Gu Tianlin had only sent Yuan Jinyue away because he saw her gesture.

Yuan Jinyue glanced at a corner, sneered, and a barrier was immediately placed over them.

"Has Your Majesty clearly seen the current situation outside?"

"...Yes! But I really don't know about these things. My third brother said that I reduced their fiefdoms, but how could that be? I have a good relationship with my brothers, how could I possibly reduce their fiefdoms?" Gu Tianlin felt really wronged.

"Do you feel wronged?"

Gu Tianlin nodded: "I feel really wronged that they are forcing me to do things I didn't do."

Just because you didn't do it doesn't mean the people around you didn't. Didn't Chihiro warn you to be careful of the person next to you in bed before?

Gu Tianlin looked at her: "You mean the Empress? No way. The Empress is kind and innocent. She would never do such a thing. Besides, if she did such a thing, how could no one have told me? Are all my ministers dead?"

Gu Tianlin was still somewhat skeptical.

"Didn't you say before that your empress could produce many things you've never even seen before? If she also has the ability to control a person's mind, do you think those puppets would still be loyal to you?"

Gu Tianlin was greatly shocked: "You mean them..."

Do you remember any of the people who fainted today?

Gu Tianlin nodded: "They are all people in high positions of power."

"That makes things easier. My friend has already removed the Gu from their bodies. You can go and test them out. Remember, it's best to avoid the Empress's people. If these people are still loyal to you, they will naturally help you expose her true colors."

Gu Tianlin nodded: "...I understand, but I still want to ask one more thing, why would she do this? I have already given her the position of Empress, second only to the Emperor, what more could she possibly want? Wang'er is already the Crown Prince, and the next Emperor, at which point she will be the Empress Dowager." He didn't understand why she would still do this after all that.

“You need to understand that whether this power is in the hands of your husband or your son, it is still in the hands of someone else. Relying on others is not as good as taking control of the power yourself.”

Gu Tianlin's eyes widened: "You mean she wants to rule from behind the curtain?"

"No, she wants to ascend the throne and become empress!" If she hadn't read the Secret History of Wu Zetian before, she wouldn't have thought of this. But look at Wu Zetian, she had the means and the ability to govern the country very well. What does Shen Ru have? A broken system?
Gu Tianlin subconsciously took a step back: "To...to declare oneself emperor?"

That Wang'er?
"Do you know what she asked Nianxuan to do for her?"

"I don't know." Since Yuan Jinyue brought it up, it definitely wasn't about clearing toxins. "Could it be that you're trying to poison me?"

"To some extent, but what she wants most is immortality." "Immortality? Such things only appear in storybooks. She's just a mortal with no cultivation, how could she possibly achieve immortality?" This woman doesn't think that as long as she achieves immortality, she can rule the country forever, does she? That's wishful thinking.

"Who knows what she's thinking? But you'd better not show anything unusual until you have solid evidence."

Gu Tianlin: ...I sleep at her place every night. Now that I know she's been trying to kill me, how could I possibly still dare to sleep next to her?

Yuan Jinyue seemed to sense his thoughts and took out a jade pendant from her Qiankun bag: "I'll lend you this first. It can help you withstand three fatal blows. If someone tries to attack you, it will heat up and warn you in advance."

"Thank you for the treasure, Fairy." Gu Tianlin was very grateful to Yuan Jinyue, as it was as if she had given him three lives.

Yuan Jinyue looked at Gu Tianlin: "It's about time. Let's go. I'll take you to see a great show."

Gu Tianlin followed Yuan Jinyue toward a palace.

On the other side, after Mo Qianxun and the others returned to the time-traveling room, before they could even stand firmly, a large hole appeared beneath Mo Qianxun's feet, and she fell straight down.

Ling Feng managed to grab Mo Qianxun in time, but the suction force was too strong, and Ling Feng was also sucked in.

"That's what we're saying, why weren't we included in the errand orders?" Lu Tao and Chen Min were very dissatisfied.

That's right, this is the black hole that only appears when there are long-lost errand orders.

Mo Qianxun and the others felt a sudden dizziness. When they regained their footing and looked around, they were almost scared to death.

"Where is this place? It looks like a witch's forest from a fairy tale. These trees are comparable to the one in 'The Scream'." Mo Qianxun looked at the trees speechlessly.

"This place is gloomy and dark; it might really be where the witch lives." Ling Feng had already drawn his longsword, warily looking around. If anything lunged at him, he would definitely cut it in two with a single stroke.

"008, tell me, where is this place?"

[Host, because the system has been upgraded, the errand-running function has also been upgraded. Now, not only our regular customers can place errand-running orders, but anyone with a strong enough desire to do so can also place an order. This adds another source of income for us.]

"Oh, I see. Does your errand service have a notification feature?" Mo Qianxun's smile was somewhat complicated. "You should at least give me some time to prepare."

"Sorry, sorry, it's an emergency, host, run in that direction quickly! If we don't get there soon, our client will be killed!" 008 anxiously pointed in a direction.

"I'm done!"

Mo Qianxun drew his sword, ready to fly, but before he could even move, Ling Feng pulled him onto his sword: "Come on, I'll take you there."

The two flew in the direction 008 pointed, and from a distance they saw a man in a Western-style tuxedo, dressed like a vampire, standing there, surrounded by several people who looked like werewolves from TV dramas.

Mo Qianxun and Ling Feng were stunned: Big Socks, where have you taken us? Even in the magical world, we've never heard of vampires and werewolves.
