Rebirth of the Return of Chu

After saying goodbye to Qin Muyun, Qin Muyun arranged for a young eunuch to escort them out of the palace.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the general's mansion, I saw a familiar blue figure standing at the door.

"Senior Brother," Mu Chu called Gu Qing.

The breeze blew up her long hair that looked like ink. Her face was pale, but her eyes were sparkling. She opened her red lips slightly and said, "When did you arrive?"

Gu Qing felt a little distressed, and suppressed the strangeness in his heart: "How did it become like this?"

"Let's go inside and talk," Mu Chu said in a low voice.

"Okay," Gu Qing forced a smile. It was stiff and short, with a hint of bitterness, and an expression of worry between his brows that was difficult to conceal.

Xiao Tao supported Mu Chu, and Gu Qing followed behind him as they walked towards Mu Chu's yard.

Entering the yard, Ginkgo was cleaning the yard. Seeing Mu Chu coming back, she was a little excited: "Miss, you are finally back."

"Why are you here?" Mu Chu asked her.

"The general asked me to come and serve the young lady because he was worried that Xiaotao would be too tired alone," Ginkgo replied.

Mu Chu knew that she was a down-to-earth girl, so he nodded and said, "Then you can stay."

After entering the room, Gu Qing said anxiously: "Junior sister, let me take a look at your injury."

Mu Chu was a little embarrassed: "Brother, the imperial physician has checked and it's nothing serious. Just prescribe some medicine for me."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and asked Gu Qing to feel her pulse. The two of them were unusually quiet for a while.

After taking the pulse, Gu Qing couldn't help but ask, "Is what's being said outside true?"

"What are you talking about, brother?" Mu Chu raised his eyelids slightly.

Gu Qing paused and said, "It's about you and the young master."

Mu Chu did not refute: "Yes, both, they are right."

Gu Qing hesitated for a while and then said, "You are too impulsive. If you want to be with him, there are ten thousand ways. Why do you have to make it to this point? It is irreversible."

Mu Chu frowned: "Brother, don't you think that I am against human ethics because I like him? The world sees me this way. I have no choice. I can't hurt him."

Gu Qing said with some forbearance: "I knew this day would come. I saw it in Kongling Mountain. Besides, he is not your uncle. I know it very well."

"Even you know that?" Mu Chu asked in surprise.

"Yes, Master told me personally. Do you remember the last time I came back in the middle of the night and you and Mingyue were fighting? I came back that time because I found out some information. Your uncle was actually brought back by your mother. Your mother traveled thousands of miles to send him back, and your grandfather deliberately concealed his identity."

"What? My mother sent him back? Didn't Mingyue say that he was the deputy general's son?" Mu Chu was so shocked that he stood up from his seat.

Gu Qing shook his head and said, "I checked the deputy general's family. He did have a son who died of plague the year your uncle returned home. He was two years older than your uncle, and the housekeeper was also deceived by your grandfather."

"Then why did they go to so much trouble to hide my uncle's identity? How could my mother be with my uncle? Didn't they suspect that my mother was a clown before?" Mu Chu frowned.

Gu Qing continued, "I went with the Master to investigate Mirror Flower and Water Moon, and there have been few traces of them in recent years. I heard that their Mirror Master left and disbanded the organization. There is also a saying that the Mirror Master took away their magic tools and secret keys and disappeared. If your mother is from Mirror Flower and Water Moon, I suspect she is the Mirror Master."

Mu Chu was so shocked by the secrets that Gu Qing revealed one after another that he was speechless. How come he didn't know anything?

After thinking for a long time, he said, "But if my mother is such a powerful person, why didn't my father tell me?"

"There must be a compelling reason, perhaps for the Qin family. If her identity is exposed, it will be a disaster for the Qin family. But I can't figure out what the master's identity is, and why there are so many cover-ups."

Gu Qing was also full of doubts.

Mu Chu always felt that he had grasped a faint clue in his heart, but he couldn't connect the dots, so he sat down in frustration.

Gu Qing comforted her: "Don't be upset, at least now you know that the young master is not your uncle, but his identity cannot be changed all at once. After we defeat the Nan Xiao army, we will think of other ways."

Mu Chu was in low spirits: "What else can I do? The emperor has already granted us the marriage, and if I break off the engagement, it will only hurt him more."

"Junior sister, believe me, I will not let you become a princess. There must be a way to have the best of both worlds."
