Chapter 307: Wanting the Queen Position
Mi Yue nodded obediently, "Your Majesty is really smart. I am unwilling to just stay by your side. I want the position of Empress and the position of Second Miss Gu. As long as Your Majesty is willing to give me the position of Empress, I will definitely hand over everything I have to Your Majesty."
Outside the door, except for Gu Jianchu, the other four people's eyes widened instantly.
They thought that Mi Yue was just trying to seduce the emperor and wanted to stay by his side, but they never expected that Mi Yue's ambition was so big and that she actually wanted Gu Jianchu's position as queen.
Wen Zhaoyi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for this bold girl. God knows how much the emperor dotes on the queen. It's not just because the queen has the Gu family behind her. The Gu family alone is not to be feared. If the emperor is afraid, the Gu family will be even more dangerous.
Xie Qingzhi couldn't help but sneer, "It's really a fool's dream. I didn't expect that someone would be daydreaming in broad daylight."
The brother and sister Gu Jianyue and Gu Jianbai had uglier looks on their faces. They really didn't expect that Mi Yue's ambition was so big that she even planned to take Gu Jianchu's position as queen.
What is there that the brother and sister don't understand now? Mi Yue tried to please them in every way just because she wanted to stay in the Gu family so that she could find a chance to get close to the emperor. After all, she was just a commoner and had no chance to see the emperor. Only by finding someone she could rely on could she have the opportunity to see the emperor, and their Gu family was just the right person.
If Mi Yue had not been so kind and caring towards them, they would not have been so unsuspecting towards Mi Yue, and would not have brought Mi Yue to the hunting ground, so that Mi Yue would not have had the opportunity to come to the emperor's side.
They were not only angry because Mi Yue took advantage of them, but also because Mi Yue wanted to deal with Gu Jianchu and their families.
Gu Jianchu was extremely calm about all this.
After what Mi Yue said just now, Gu Jianchu became more certain that Mi Yue was a time-traveling girl from another world. She should have a strategy system with her, and the mission goal was to conquer the emperor. But this little girl was too stupid. She thought that after saving the emperor once and having contact with him once, the emperor would like her.
The next time Yao sleeps with the emperor, the matter will be settled. She even openly tells her purpose. This will not only fail to win the emperor's favor, but will make the emperor suspicious of her.
After all, the emperor is not as easy to conquer as Gu Jianbai, who is simple-minded. If it is a simple-minded person like Gu Jianbai, it is better to treat him well and cook for him a few times, and he will be coaxed into doing things.
In fact, the eldest brother did a good thing this time. It was precisely because the eldest brother was not scheming that Mi Yue felt that it was quite easy to conquer people, and she let down her guard. Otherwise, Jiang Yue would be quite difficult to deal with.
Xie Ci'an raised a cold smile and pushed Mi Yue to the ground with his backhand, "You are the queen, how should the current queen deal with it?"
Mi Yue was suddenly pushed and staggered, but she quickly steadied her feet and stood on Xie Ci'an's ground.
Mi Yue said tentatively, "I know that the emperor must be reluctant to give up the queen. How about I demote her to a concubine and serve her as a sister? This way, the emperor can still control the entire Gu family through the second daughter of the Gu family. Or I can go to the Gu family and steal the Gu family's military power for the emperor. What do you think?"
The people outside were speechless.
Xie Qingzhi now understood why Gu Jianchu didn't take Mi Yue seriously. Looking at Mi Yue's intelligence, there was really no need to take her too seriously. No good person would put military power in a conspicuous place waiting for others to steal it.
If the emperor treated Gu Jianchu like this because of the Gu family's military power, then Xie Ci'an had thousands of ways to take back the Gu family's military power. Including the fact that the Gu family had previously thought about returning the military power to the emperor in order to help Gu Jianchu refuse the imperial edict to enter the palace, and then taking the family back to their hometown to retire and never ask about state affairs again. This would also make the emperor feel at ease, but the emperor was unwilling to do so. The emperor needed to use the Gu family to implicate those old guys.
Gu Yuanqing has been guarding Liaodong for many years. Not to mention the soldiers in Liaodong, even if they have no military power, they will obey Gu Yuanqing's orders. Just talking about Gu Yuanqing's understanding of the situation in Liaodong, no other general can replace Gu Yuanqing and Gu Jianbai's position in Liaodong.
Gu Jianbai's already ugly expression turned completely darker. He clenched his fingers into fists under his sleeves, trying hard to restrain himself from rushing into the room out of impulse.
Xie Ci'an sneered at Mi Yue in front of him, "Fool, you can't just steal military power if you want to. If it were that easy to steal, the world would have completely changed dynasties. Besides, the fine iron you mentioned was already made by the Liaodong Army five years ago. As for glass soap and other things, they are insignificant things and are useless to me. The hand cannon you mentioned is already in the armory. It was also developed by General Gu of the Liaodong Army."
"What you said is not enough for me to exchange for my queen. It's a pipe dream for a commoner to climb to the position of queen." Xie Ci'an slammed the table in anger.
Mi Yue was startled for a moment. She looked at Xie Ci'an in confusion. He clearly drank the chicken soup, so how come nothing happened to him? This shouldn't be the case. The medicine given by the system had never had any problems since it was delivered to him.
Just as Mi Yue was about to call the system to check the problem, Xie Ci'an picked up the chicken soup at hand, gently threw it to the ground, and said coldly, "I was wondering how I could be fine after drinking the medicine in the chicken soup."
Hearing this, Mi Yue instantly looked at the man in the dragon robe in front of her in horror. For the first time, she felt fear and the terrifying power of the emperor. She took two steps back, her pupils suddenly contracted, "How do you know? If you knew, why did you drink it? Why didn't you react after drinking it?"
"It's very simple. The Queen and I have known about your little schemes for a long time, so on your way here, I asked someone to replace your chicken soup. If I didn't drink it, how could I have figured out your purpose and what you wanted to say." Xie Ci'an took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands in disgust, as if he had touched something dirty before.
Mi Yue looked at Xie Ci'an in horror. She never thought that Xie Ci'an and the Queen had seen through all her plans.
"Since the emperor has seen through everything, why does he still want to see me? Does it mean that the emperor has no thoughts about me at all?" Mi Yue asked suspiciously.
Xie Ci'an threw the handkerchief to the ground and looked at Mi Yue with a hint of mockery in his eyes. "If you hadn't set up this trap, how would anyone have seen your true face?"
Just as Mi Yue was thinking about the meaning of Xie Ci'an's words, Gu Yuanqing's voice suddenly sounded outside.
