The steward of the palace of rebirth

Gu Zhengqing glanced at Mu Changfeng secretly, and heaved a sigh of relief, it was really dangerous just now, if the prince didn't believe him, it would not be so easy for him to think of him again.

Being blown by the night wind, Gu Zhengqing's back was a little cold, and it was only then that Gu Zhengqing realized that his back was covered in cold sweat.

Mu Changfeng naturally didn't miss Gu Zhengqing's small movements, and the color of his eyes changed.

"You have been teaching in Gujia Village for several years." Mu Changfeng asked slowly.

"Going back to the prince, it's been three years." Gu Zhengqing said.

"Is there anyone else in the family?" Mu Changfeng asked.

"Besides father, I have no other relatives." Gu Zhengqing shook his head.

"Is there no marriage?" Mu Changfeng stopped and looked at him.

Gu Zhengqing was stunned, and wanted to shake his head, but he paused when he saw Mu Changfeng's eyes, and replied: "It used to be, but something happened, and it has been invalidated, and that girl has long been a wife."

"Aren't you angry?" Mu Changfeng said.

Gu Zhengqing shook his head, "I'm not angry, it's just a matter of fate."

"Exactly, fate cannot be forced." Mu Changfeng nodded and said to Gu Zhengqing affirmatively.

Gu Zhengqing blinked his eyes. Most people would have to get to the bottom of it if they knew it. After knowing the whole story, they would scold the girl out of righteous indignation. Why does the prince seem not to care at all, but he appreciates his resolute abandonment of the engagement more?The prince is indeed a prince, he knew that the prince would understand him.

Mu Changfeng looked at Gu Zhengqing's bright and trusting eyes, and was taken aback for a moment at first, but after thinking about it, he understood the reason, his eyes gradually darkened, he stared fixedly for a while, turned around and continued walking, "Let's go."

Gu Zhengqing happily followed.

When Mu Changfeng said he wanted to walk, he really walked all the way outside the small courtyard where Gu Zhengqing lived.

Gu Zhengqing glanced at his own and his father's small courtyard, thought for a while and said to Mu Changfeng: "My lord, do you want to go see where else, I will accompany you."

Mu Changfeng looked at him and smiled slightly, "No need, it's late at night, you should go back and rest quickly."

It was rare for Gu Zhengqing to see Mu Changfeng smile once, his face became hot, and he felt that he had asked a stupid question, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, this subordinate will go back now, and the prince will also rest early."

Mu Changfeng nodded, but stood still.

Gu Zhengqing was not sure, hesitated for a while, then retreated, then turned around and entered the yard.

"Zheng Qing." Mu Changfeng said suddenly.

"My lord, do you have any orders?" Gu Zhengqing walked back again.

"If your father asks, you don't need to tell him about your climbing the wall, just tell him about the late Qing Dynasty." Mu Changfeng said.

Gu Zhengqing was surprised, but Mu Changfeng had already nodded to him and left.

Gu Zhengqing looked at Mu Changfeng's fading figure, thought for a while, and was about to go back to his room when he heard Gu Huaisi's door, and was stopped, "Qing'er."

"Father, did I wake you up?" Gu Zhengqing hurriedly greeted him, knowing why Mu Changfeng said that just now, because he found out that his father hadn't fallen asleep yet.

"Come to my room, I have something to ask you." Gu Huaisi stood seriously at the door and said.

Gu Zhengqing's heart skipped a beat, and he obediently walked over.

After entering the room, I saw Gu Huaisi sitting on the opposite chair looking at him with a straight face, "Where did you go?"

Following what Mu Changfeng taught, Gu Zhengqing concealed the matter of climbing the wall and meeting Mu Changfeng, only saying that he couldn't sleep and went out for a walk, and told Gu Huaisi his doubts about the origin of the late Qing Dynasty.

"Are you sure she has that mark on her arm?" Gu Huaisi asked, frowning.

Gu Zhengqing nodded, "Sure, it really looks like half a black lotus."

Gu Huaisi pondered for a while, and said: "I know, I will also pay attention to this matter. If there is anything you don't understand in the future, just tell Dad, don't guess by yourself."

"I remember." Gu Zhengqing said.

"Go to sleep, it's too late." Gu Huaisi said.

Gu Zhengqing nodded and went back to his room.

Gu Huaisi looked at his son's back, thoughtfully.He could feel that Gu Zhengqing still had something to hide from him.

Gu Zhengqing didn't know Gu Huaisi's doubts and guesses, and stood there for a while after returning to the room, then shook his head violently.

It's really embarrassing tonight, and I really can't act impulsively in the future.

After thinking about it, he took out the painting on the table and burned it.

In any case, he achieved his goal, which is considered a harvest.

As for the Jade Buddha that will appear the day after tomorrow...

Gu Zhengqing's eyes flickered, he smiled lightly, turned around and went to sleep, he had to recover his energy and help with work tomorrow.

On the other side, the main courtyard of the Wangfu.

"My lord, I have something to mention." Xifeng said, "As far as I know, in the past six months, no rich household in the capital has been wiped out."

Mu Changfeng's expression remained unchanged, "You just need to find out the purpose of late Qing Dynasty."

West Wind paused, "Yes."

The lord is actually neither pursuing Gu Zhengqing's lies nor getting angry?And it seems that there is a real problem with Qing that night.

"Half a black lotus, Mu Qianfan's dead man, you need to find out why Mu Qianfan let her enter the Mausoleum Palace." Mu Changfeng's eyes were calm, and he said the matter in a normal way.

Xifeng raised his head in surprise, King Rui? !

The other three were equally surprised, but what was even more surprising was Mu Changfeng's attitude.

They all knew that the prince valued Rui Wang's younger brother very much, so why did his attitude seem to be different now.The four of them had followed Mu Changfeng for many years, and immediately understood what had happened.

Moreover, they didn't even know that King Rui had such a dead man, and let such a person infiltrate the palace. If it was just to inquire about the news, if there were other purposes but they didn't realize it, it would be too dangerous!

"My lord, do you need your subordinates to keep an eye on King Rui?" Dong Lai quickly responded and asked.

"You and Xifeng will handle this matter, don't say anything when you see it, and find a way to get the evidence left by him." Mu Changfeng said.

"Yes!" Xifeng and Donglai said in unison.

"Yannan, go back to the sect first, secretly investigate Donghai Jingshui sect, don't alarm anyone if you find anything, and tell me the situation first." Mu Changfeng said.

"My lord, is there any problem with Jingshui Sect?" Yan Nan was stunned for a moment, what movement in the rivers and lakes would the lord know before him?

"Jingshui Sect and Mu Qianfan have secret contacts, but there is another power behind it, this power is extremely cunning, I haven't found out yet, you can do it." Mu Changfeng seemed to remember something, and said coldly .

"Your subordinates obey." Yannan said.

"Huangbei doesn't need to move, just do your own thing." Mu Changfeng said.

"Yes." Huang Bei said.

"Let's make arrangements." Mu Changfeng said.

"This subordinate is waiting to leave." The four said in unison, and then disappeared into the darkness.

The four of them stopped after leaving the main courtyard of the Mausoleum Palace, and looked at each other for a long time.

"Questions come one by one." Xifeng said seriously.

"Oh." Donglai replied flatly.

"Let me ask first, who was that person just now?" Yannan said, apparently this question was already suffocating him.

"His name is Gu Zhengqing, and he is the son of Steward Gu. He has just arrived in the palace for two days, and the prince has promised to let him stay in the palace to work. After he gets to know Steward Gu well, he will be transferred to the main courtyard." Xifeng replied.

Yannan's eyes widened, "That's it?"

West Wind nodded.

"But the lord treated him very well. I injured him just now, and the lord looked at me with a knife in his eyes." Yan Nan said with lingering fear.

"My lord personally applied the medicine for him." Dong Lai answered in a flat tone.

Seeing that the three of them were staring at him enthusiastically, Xifeng felt a little stressed, and his always tense face was about to fail, "I don't know why."

In fact, he had just met Gu Zhengqing, and he was also puzzled.But the people the prince valued were naturally the ones he valued, and he didn't need too many reasons.

"It's not right, it's so wrong." Yannan's excited eyes lit up, "Could it be that our lord has finally enlightened? The concubine has always been worried that the lord will be alone for the rest of his life, it seems that now there is a door."

"The matter is still unclear, so don't jump to conclusions." Huang Bei frowned.

"I'm not guessing." Yannan said.

"Your guess is guesswork, don't talk too much in front of the concubine, it will cause trouble for the prince." Huang Bei said seriously.

"The concubine hasn't been out of the mountain gate for a long time, I think she won't make any noise even if I tell her." Yannan said.

Huang Bei still looked at him seriously.

Yannan had no choice but to say, "Okay, I understand."

Only then did Huangbei look away.

"The problem now is King Rui." Huang Bei said.

The other three were silent for a while, before Yannan said: "It's okay if I haven't been in the capital for a long time, you don't know why the prince suddenly broke up with King Rui, and King Rui actually has a dead man, and sneaked into the palace."

"Have you found the reason why the lord fell asleep all day?" Huang Bei asked Xi Feng after glancing at Yan Nan.

Xifeng shook his head, "I didn't find any abnormalities, even the imperial physician couldn't see anything wrong. On the contrary, the prince seemed to have expected that he had been in a coma for a whole day, so he sent the imperial physician back without saying anything."

"My lord is different, and my lord is stronger." Dong Lai interjected from the side.

The other three remained silent. Of course, they also noticed the change in Mu Changfeng. They felt a faint sense of oppression that they had never felt before.

"I was left behind." Donglai continued, his tone was flat and even his expression didn't change, only his eyes were different. In this situation, it was as if his face was paralyzed, and he was a little dazed.

The other three were used to his appearance long ago, and continued to remain silent after hearing his words.

"If you don't catch up quickly, you will only fall further and further behind. If you have time to speculate here, it is better to quickly arrange people to investigate. The more we find out, the more we can understand." Huangbei said.

"Xiaobei is right, let's hurry up and act. I didn't even eat any food in order to rush here, so I hurried to find something to eat, and Xiaobei will accompany me." Yannan said.

"No time." Huang Bei said, then turned around, jumped off the roof, and fell into the darkness.

"Remember to tell me what's going on in Beijing." Seeing this, Yannan chased after him without saying a word.

Xi Feng and Dong Lai looked at each other, both of them had facial paralysis, one had habitual sullen face, the other had real facial paralysis, both of them felt that looking at each other was boring, so they dispersed separately.
