Not long after, Mu Wangchao bowed to Gu Linghan and said, "I still have something to do at the minister's house, so I will take my leave first."

"Okay, Brother Wang, go slowly." Gu Linghan stood up and watched him leave.

Gu Lichen looked at Mu Wang's back, and his thoughts kept churning. A prince colluding with a monster, how can he be at ease?

"Eunuch Qian." Gu Linghan had been watching Mu Wangyuan's back, and suddenly said to Eunuch Qian who was beside him.

"The slave is here."

Gu Linghan narrowed his eyes, his usually gentle face showed a bit of danger, "Have you smelled that evil spirit?"

Eunuch Qian cupped his hands and said, "The mana of this slave is not as advanced as His Majesty's, but Ruo Ruo Wu noticed something strange."

Gu Lichen looked at Gu Linghan in astonishment, his eyes were full of astonishment, he thought that the master hadn't noticed, so he gave the jade pendant to King Mu.

Then why does Master still want to...

Gu Linghan met his pupil's glazed eyes, and obviously knew what he was wondering about.

He smiled inscrutablely, and said casually and indifferently, "The enemy is in the dark, but I am in the light. Under such circumstances, if you want to find them, it is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. If you catch a turtle in a urn, you can grab it with your hands."

Gu Lichen was fascinated by such a confident and calm master, and felt that in his words and deeds just now, there was a kind of domineering momentum in which the mast and scull were wiped out in ashes.

Gu Linghan could feel his apprentice's fiery eyes looking at him out of the corner of his eye, and he couldn't help feeling relieved.

In fact, what he said just now was not all his original intention, and there was still one thing he hadn't said yet.

If he doesn't lead these evildoers to show up early, when will he be freed from this position and regain his freedom!

Thinking of this, he suddenly looked down at Xiao Lichen.

At that time, he will be able to take his beloved apprentice and travel freely.

Gu Lichen's arms holding Xiao Lichen slightly tightened for a moment, feeling worried, but it was not bad.

After coming out of the water pavilion beside the golden pond, the group returned to Qingping Palace.As a wise monarch who is busy with government affairs and dedicated to his duties, Gu Linghan absolutely cannot do the thing of piling up memorials.

In the imperial study room of Qingping Palace, Gu Linghan was sitting in front of the imperial case, reviewing the memorials delivered today.

He suddenly felt that his robe was being gently pulled.

There is no one else who can tear his robe, only his little apprentice Gu Lichen.

Gu Linghan put down the ink brush in his hand, looked away from the memorial, and met Tuer's upturned little face, "Tuer, what's the matter?"

Gu Lichen blinked his eyes suddenly, and said softly and expectantly, "Master, this disciple wants to practice calligraphy."

Gu Linghan was stunned. He didn't even think of this, but his apprentice brought it up on his own initiative. He really worked hard, which made him a little ashamed.

He put down the memorial in his hand, rubbed his apprentice's soft hair, and said apologetically, "You did the right thing, because you didn't think carefully about the teacher."

But looking at the memorials piled up on the table, Gu Linghan found himself in trouble.He thought for a while, then turned his head and said to Eunuch Qian, "Eunuch Qian, you have learned good handwriting, come and teach Li Chen to learn calligraphy."

The area of ​​the imperial case was large enough, Gu Linghan moved to the left, leaving half of the space for two people.

Eunuch Qian took the order, put down the dust in his hand, walked a few steps forward, and came to Gu Lichen.

However, Gu Lichen looked at Eunuch Qian who was walking towards him with a face of resistance, leaned towards the master beside him, and tugged at a corner of his robe.

Gu Linghan looked to the side, and found that his apprentice was looking at him with an aggrieved expression on his face.

He was stunned and asked, "Why is disciple unhappy?"

Gu Lichen still looked at him with a small face, but his eyes were full of resentment, "I know that Master treats me well, but you said you accepted me as a disciple, but you didn't want to teach me yourself, are you... ...Don't like disciples anymore?"

Gu Linghan looked at the memorial in his hand, and quickly explained, "As a teacher, I just want to correct the memorial..."

Gu Lichen still looked at it with an aggrieved look, which made Gu Linghan feel soft-hearted and blamed himself.

"Of course the teacher likes the apprentice."

Forget it, Gu Linghan sighed, then put down the memorial in his hand, pushed it aside, took Gu Lichen into his arms again, and then told Eunuch Qian, "Eunuch Qian, please go and invite Mrs. I have something important to discuss with him."

Eunuch Qian glanced at Gu Lichen, who was acting like a baby in Gu Linghan's arms, with a smile on his eyes, and retreated under orders.

With this little guy by his side, His Majesty seems to have never complained about not having a holiday, and his affairs are busy.

Gu Linghan asked his apprentice to sit in front of him. The chair was very spacious, and two adults would not feel crowded sitting in front of each other, not to mention that Xiao Lichen was so small that it didn't take up much space at all.

Wrapping his arms around the apprentice's body, Gu Linghan coaxed softly, "Come on, my dear apprentice, don't lose your temper. As a teacher, I will teach you personally."

Only then did Gu Lichen show off his face, and smiled triumphantly at Gu Linghan.

Seeing this smile, Gu Linghan knew that he had been eaten to death by his little apprentice. He smiled helplessly, and was a little annoyed, so he bent his fingers and tapped his apprentice's head, jokingly said, "That's it!" How can a cold and hard stone turn into such a clever villain like you?"

Gu Lichen didn't care, and smiled brightly at Gu Linghan, thinking that the word "little man" was the master's praise for him.

He rolled up his sleeves by himself, and then he was about to stretch his fingers into the inkstone.

Seeing this, Gu Linghan quickly stopped his hand, held his little hand in the palm of his hand, and stopped him, "Writing is not done with hands. The first step is to learn how to use a brush."

Gu Lichen nodded and looked at him asking for advice.

Gu Linghan took two brushes, one thick and one thin, from the pen stand. The thin one was given to Li Chen, and the thick one was held in his hand, demonstrating the correct posture of holding the brush.

Gu Lichen looked along the sleeves of the master, and saw that the master's hands holding the brush were slender and fair, with well-defined joints, which looked powerful and delicate.

In fact, he learned how to use the brush with just one glance, but for the sake of these hands, he stared at it seriously for a long time.

Gu Linghan taught him how to hold a pen while teaching him how to write.

From dipping ink to writing, from writing to moving the pen, he taught very carefully.

But Gu Lichen looked like he couldn't learn it no matter what, the brush was used wobbly, the characters were crooked, and a good "Yong" was written like a "wood".

Gu Linghan slowly frowned, and began to reflect on whether there was something wrong with his teaching steps. Maybe he only watched his own demonstration without personal experience, so it was not easy to understand the essence of it.

He covered his apprentice's little hand, exerting force on his hand, leading him to feel the direction and strength of every stroke of the brush.

Feeling the heat from Master's palm, Gu Lichen pursed his lips to hide the corners of his lips that were constantly turning up.

Gradually, a beautiful and meaningful "Yong" character appeared on the paper.

Gu Lichen raised his head excitedly, and happened to meet the eyes of the master who was looking at him with a smile, which made his heart speed up for a moment.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall.

"Your Majesty." Before Mr. Qian arrived, his panting voice reached the ears of the two of them.

Gu Linghan was a little surprised. Qian Bazai always paid attention to his manners, and he was rarely in such a hurry. He asked in surprise, "Didn't I tell you to invite Master Li?"

Eunuch Qian wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Master Li is on his way here, but this servant met a maid from Jiyan Palace on the way back to return, saying that Concubine Yan is here to invite you."

He didn't mention what happened, but said eagerly, "Your Majesty, you must go to this matter."

Gu Linghan immediately understood what Eunuch Qian meant. He got up with the little apprentice in his arms, and then put him on the chair.

Pointing to the stack of memorials on the table, he told Xiao Lichen, "Li Chen, I have to leave for a while as a teacher. Don't run around. A bearded grandfather will come in later. Tell him , as the teacher is busy with important matters, let him help me correct the memorial."

"Master..." Hearing that Master was going to Concubine Yan, and thinking of Concubine Yan's gorgeous appearance, Gu Lichen felt a hundred reluctance in his heart, but he still nodded and agreed, "Okay."

Gu Linghan immediately went to the Jiyan Palace of Concubine Yan.

As soon as he left, the huge Qingping Palace immediately fell silent, revealing an indescribably deserted feeling.

Gu Lichen felt the back of his right hand that was getting colder, and put his left hand on it silently, as if he wanted to keep the warmth for a longer time.

Not long after, the silence in the hall was broken by the prime minister who rushed over.

Li Yao walked around the gate of Qingping Palace, and before he could report, he was directly led in by the eunuch who had already received orders.

Li Yao felt nervous for a while, thinking that something important had happened to Jiangshan Sheji, he was anxious all of a sudden.

After entering the hall, he realized that the emperor was not in the hall, and the person sitting in front of the imperial case turned out to be a little baby who looked less than five years old.

He couldn't figure out the identity of the child, so he bowed emptyly with his hands folded.

The little boy raised his head, and said to him solemnly, "Master Li, His Majesty is not here, he asked me to tell you so that you can correct the memorial on his behalf."

This kind of thing was not unheard of for Prime Minister Li Yao. When the late emperor was still alive, he also helped the late emperor read the memorial.

"The subordinate obeys the order."

Li Yao was loyal and loyal, and he had never had a second heart in his life. Now that he got His Majesty's oral order, he walked to the back of the imperial case frankly.

This is when he suddenly saw the words Gu Lichen was writing on the paper - powerful, penetrating, and quite strong.

He clapped his hands involuntarily and applauded, "Young master is really a child prodigy! At such a young age, calligraphy can achieve such accomplishments."

"Mmm." Gu Lichen replied sullenly, without looking up, just continued to practice calligraphy.

After a while, he added in a low voice, "Master taught me well."

Unexpectedly, the little doll in front of him turned out to be the emperor's apprentice.

Li Yao was a little puzzled, it was the first time he heard that the emperor would accept disciples.

But at Li Yao's age, besides the important affairs of his family and country, what he cared about in his heart was making fun of his grandchildren.He looked at this pink and jade-carved little doll, and his heart was itching for a long time, and he didn't care about the identity of the other party, so he thought of teasing the child a little bit.

Seeing that he talks a lot now, I thought of teasing him a few words.

Li Yao sat on the chair beside Gu Lichen and asked, "Young master, what's your name?"

"Gu Lichen."

This surprised Li Yao. This little baby has the national surname "Gu", and the emperor has no heirs. I'm afraid the treatment of this little baby is not much different from that of the prince.

He put away his teasing thoughts, and said seriously, "Do you know what the emperor is up to?"

Gu Lichen said with a weary expression, "Master has gone to Concubine Yan."

Li Yao was startled when he heard the words, he thought that the emperor hurriedly summoned him for some serious matter, but it turned out that he was going to the concubine's palace for entertainment, so he sent himself to correct the memorial for him?

Li Yao looked at the sky outside again, and raised his voice a few degrees, "Absurd! It's still daytime, and His Majesty is so absurd!"

When Gu Lichen heard that the other party dared to say that about his master, his expression suddenly became extremely cold, "How dare you, old man, be so rude and call my master ridiculous!"

It turned out that the crisp and soft voice immediately sank, bursting out with a coldness that no one could ignore.

Li Yao was taken aback by the aura emanating from this little doll who suddenly changed his face, and subconsciously replied in panic, "It's the lower official who overstepped."

Emperor Xuanqing had a good temper and treated him extremely well. He would not get angry even if he was remonstrated face to face. Gradually, Li Yao almost forgot the way of emperor and minister.

But monarchs and ministers are different. The emperor is the emperor after all, and he must not be arrogant because of his favor.

At this time, when this little doll reminded him, Li Yao was actually frightened into a cold sweat.

Gu Lichen withdrew his cold gaze, and continued to pick up the brush to practice calligraphy.

No matter how unhappy he is, he will not allow anyone to slander Master.
