My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

"Confucious said: 'Is it not delightful to have friends coming from distant quarters?'"

"Confucious said: 'If a man keeps cherishing his old knowledge, so as continually to be acquiring new, he may be a teacher of others.'"

[You have written the Analects, cultivated for +500 years, and rewarded the Immortal Rank Supreme Treasure—Confucian Bible Texts]

[You are familiar with the national policy theory, cultivate for +100 years, reward immortals, and seal the national god array]

[You have memorized the Book of Poetry for 300 years, cultivated it for +50 years, and rewarded the Imperial Rank Treasure—Autumn Wind Falling Leaf Sword]

After completing his daily studies, Gu Lan selected some decent rewards from his readings and headed toward the palace.

"What's this? Is it your new publication?"

Gu Lan handed the Confucian Bible Texts directly to Mu Yuyan, who received it with a puzzled expression.

"Of course not. This is a treasure far more valuable than mere publications," he explained with a smile.

Mu Yuyan glanced at the scripture, even more perplexed.

"The Confucian Bible Texts? I've never heard of such scriptures before. Did you write them himself?"

Gu Lan cleared his throat and without explaining the origin of the scripture, asked directly, "Madam, in your opinion, which spell in the Confucian spells is the most powerful?"

Mu Yuyan pondered for a moment before saying, "Though I am just a sword cultivator, I know that the most powerful spell of the Confucian school is their 'Words Accompanied by Deeds,' which can cause a qualitative change in Confucian cultivators."

Gu Lan nodded with a smile.

"Indeed. The Confucian Bible Texts I've prepared for you, Madam, allow non-Confucian disciples to also invoke the power of 'Words Accompanied by Deeds'!"

His tone was calm, but it resonated like thunder in Mu Yuyan's ears!

"How is that possible!?"

Mu Yuyan was astonished. "I've never heard that non-Confucian disciples can invoke 'Words Accompanied by Deeds.' If that's possible, who would be willing to cultivate Confucian arts?"

"Haha, of course not everyone can invoke it. Dreaming of invoking 'Words Accompanied by Deeds' without the Confucian Bible Texts is simply a fantasy."

"Madam, watch this!"

Gu Lan proceeded to demonstrate.

He flipped to the first page of the Confucian Bible Texts, which was initially blank, and then wrote: "I am with Madam in the Gu Residence."

He tore the page off and as soon as it left his hand, it ignited.

In the next moment, Mu Yuyan felt a slight dizziness and found herself inside the Gu Residence.

Her eyes were filled with astonishment as she looked at Gu Lan.

"Are you trying to experiment with such a precious treasure for teleportation?"

Gu Lan merely smiled faintly.

"What's the harm? As long as Madam is pleased. It's just a scripture. After it's used up, I'll get a couple more for Madam."

Mu Yuyan rolled her eyes at her extravagant husband and said nothing more.

Apart from the Confucian Bible Texts, Gu Lan received many valuable rewards from the system this time.

In addition to the Confucian Bible Texts for Mu Yuyan, he also bestowed upon Yexi a fairy-ranked treasure that could detect auras and Xiao Fei'er a pearl that enhanced charm.

Unfortunately, Gu Lan remained unmoved.

He simply had too many treasures with nowhere to send them.

The charm-enhancing pearl was useless to keep for himself, and it wasn't suitable for Madam either, considering her already unparalleled beauty.

Thus, giving it to Xiao Fei'er seemed just right, as her special profession could make use of it.

Aside from the gifts for the three women, many treasures were packaged together and sent to the Misty Rain Building.

"These are imperial-grade treasures..."

"These are immortal-ranked treasures..."

"These are..."

In the astonishment of Li Xiong and a Misty Rain Building assassin, Gu Lan took out a large bag of treasures, like a nouveau riche wholesaler, and tossed them to Li Xiong.

"Master, what is this..."

Li Xiong was dumbfounded, his mouth wide open, almost unable to speak.

"Oh, just some treasures I came across recently. They were taking up space in my place, so I thought I'd bring some over since you have so many people here," Gu Lan said nonchalantly.

Li Xiong and others were immediately stunned.

His face was full of emotion as he said, "From now on, all the treasures taking up space can be handed over to me for handling. I'm good at this job!"

"Alright, that's settled."

After Gu Lan left, Li Xiong seemed to be injected with chicken blood, saying to the Misty Rain Building assassins, "See that? This is our enlightened master! The Misty Rain Building won't lack income in the future. But even in our leisure time, we shouldn't neglect our duties. You've all been idle for a while, but the master has brought so many rewards for you."

"Tell me honestly, are you all doing well?"

The assassins looked at each other, their eyes fixed on various treasures, then felt ashamed and replied, "We're not doing well!"

"That's right. Since you're not doing well, I've decided that from today onwards, everyone from the Misty Rain Building will go with me to the capital city of Jing Nation!"

"Our lord is the Prince of Jing Nation. He's unparalleled in cultivation, so there's nothing we can do to assist him. It's better to go and maintain the security of the capital city... I'm sure the lord knows that the Misty Rain Building is not just a one-way street!"

"Yes!"

The assassins of the Misty Rain Building did not feel embarrassed about guarding the security of the capital city.

On the contrary, they were excited!

"All those who go to the capital city to maintain security will receive one imperial-grade treasure and three royal-grade treasures as rewards. Take what you want."

"Alright!"

Compared to their previous response, this time everyone was much more enthusiastic.

Li Xiong kept his word and soon relocated the Misty Rain Building to the capital city.

The assassins of the Misty Rain Building were best at various forms of stealth assassination and intelligence gathering.

At this moment, they transformed into the underground maintainers of order in the capital city, unexpectedly complementing each other.

They lurked among the ordinary people at all times, almost impossible to be noticed.

And when they lurked, if they encountered injustice, they would intervene directly.

Compared to the usual process of reporting to the authorities and interrogation, it was much more convenient and efficient.

The assassins enjoyed this profession enthusiastically.

A few days passed, and the security of the capital city improved significantly.

The people were all smiling and living happily.

"In the neighborhoods nearby, it seems that there are no more thieves. The change in the capital's security is truly astonishing!"

An elderly citizen remarked.

"Yes, speaking of the current security situation in the capital city, it can be described as leaving no stone unturned and no door closed at night. I never expected our Majesty to be so powerful. I wonder what methods he used to improve security so much."

The people were very simple-minded.

They quickly noticed the change that affected everyone.

At the first moment of realization, they all thought it was the government's doing and began to praise Mu Yuyan.

However, unlike the common people, insiders from the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Announcements Bureau knew that they hadn't specifically worked on improving security.

Even if they wanted to, they lacked the expertise and resources.
