Chapter 1100

Her beautiful eyes flickered.

She planned to send a message to the Lingjiu Palace to call for reinforcements later.

However, at this moment, she still said huffily:

"Master, you really know how to play."

Gu Hanyuan smiled indifferently:

"A-Luo, Yuyan, and Qinglu are all in mutual affection with me; is there a problem?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xingyun naturally gave Gu Hanyuan a look of disdain.

Putting aside the truth of their mutual affection,

Gu Hanyuan must have taken action because he had taken a fancy to their beauty.

Wu Xingyun's look of disdain naturally brought about a hidden punishment from Gu Hanyuan.

The familiar pain coming from behind

made her eyes brim with emotion,

and she almost collapsed into Gu Hanyuan's arms.

Li Qiu said with an ugly expression:

"Young Master Gu, what do you mean by this?"

Gu Hanyuan smiled playfully:

"Does the Lady really not know what I mean?"

He deliberately let the three women step forward to express their stance,

which was to further stimulate Li Qiu,

making her let go of her useless reserve.

The facts were indeed so.

Li Qiu was extremely shaken at this moment.

Gu Hanyuan's move almost tore apart the tacit understanding between the two,

forcing her to accept it.

Otherwise, Li Qiu's position would only be out of place.

And Gu Hanyuan's tough stance was also telling her a fact:

"Your whole family is left with you; do you think I will let you go?"

The bottom line in Li Qiu's heart was gradually being knocked to pieces.

After a long silence,

she said with an inexplicable expression, giving up on herself:

"Young Master Gu, give me some more time to consider; I will give Young Master Gu an answer as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Gu Hanyuan smiled with satisfaction,

and said meaningfully:

"That is fine; the Lady should go to Qinglu's courtyard tonight."

After saying that, he ignored Li Qiu, whose mood was becoming increasingly complex,

and turned to Li Qinglu:

"Qinglu, how is the situation in the court?"

Suddenly talking about business

made Li Qinglu freeze.

She looked at Li Qiu with an inexplicable expression again,

and then said with some difficulty:

"It is not very good. Although the imperial guards are now in our hands, the leaders of the various tribes are not very convinced."

The facts were indeed so.

The direct bloodline of Li Yuanhao's family was gone,

and now only two women, Li Qiu and Li Qinglu, were in charge of the big picture.

Naturally, this would attract the covetous eyes of many ambitious people.

The civil officials, because Mozang Epang was dead,

had no one to coordinate and command,

and could not form a climate at all.

The military generals, on the other hand, were mostly leaders of various tribes.

Although because of the Yeli brothers,

they did not have much military power in their hands,

they had the support of their clansmen,

so it was inevitable that they would have some ideas.

Gu Hanyuan had expected this long ago,

so he just smiled lightly:

"Qinglu, take me to see them and let them recognize the facts."

Li Qinglu's eyes lit up upon hearing this,

and she said with great joy:

"Then I will leave it to you, Gu Lang."

Gu Hanyuan put down the soft-bodied Wu Xingyun,

letting her communicate and build feelings with Li Qingluo and the other women,

and headed to the imperial palace hall with Li Qinglu.

On the way,

Li Qinglu struggled for a long time

before biting her thin lips and asking:

"Gu Lang, are you really going to..."

Li Qinglu was the last to know Gu Hanyuan's thoughts.

She had only been a bit strange about the ambiguous atmosphere between the two before,

but because of their seniority, she did not think deeply about it.

It was only when she saw Li Qingluo and her daughter

that she truly realized something was wrong.

Learning of the blood relationship between the two women and herself,

and their relationship with Gu Hanyuan,

the impact on her was self-evident.

Especially the appearances of the two women, which were extremely similar to Li Qiu's,

made her subconsciously think that since Gu Hanyuan would like them,

wouldn't he also like Li Qiu?

She had just received confirmation,

so her mood was naturally extremely complex.

Gu Hanyuan said meaningfully:

"A family should be complete and tidy."

Li Qinglu almost immediately heard the hidden meaning in Gu Hanyuan's words,

and immediately turned bright red.

She scolded in shame:

"So that is why Gu Lang wants the Imperial Grandmother to come to my room?"

Gu Hanyuan smiled playfully:

"Otherwise, I could go find A-Luo and the others too."

Upon hearing this, Li Qinglu became conflicted again.

She knew she could not change Gu Hanyuan's decision.
