The steward of the palace of rebirth

"Qian Xing is also dead, the puppet Gu in his body killed him. At that time, the Zhenbei Army arrived in time to protect us and arrived at the Zhenbei Army garrison. We didn't know the truth until the military doctor discovered the puppet Gu in his body." Mu Changfeng said.

"How did Mu Qianfan do it? We didn't have any precautions." Gu Zhengqing was puzzled and worried.

"I later found out that Mu Qianfan had always had a concubine who was good at using Gu poison, but when I went back to the capital, I didn't catch this person, and she ran away. There is another force behind this woman. Helping her is the Jingshui Sect. And behind the Jingshui Sect there is someone that even Mu Qianfan doesn't know. "Mu Changfeng said.

"Mirror Water Sect?" Gu Zhengqing was puzzled, he had never heard the name of this sect.

"It's an ordinary Jianghu sect on the southeast coast. It doesn't show its mountains or dew, and has no reputation. The Jianghu sect is their superficial disguise. This sect is a stronghold for the mysterious person behind the scenes. It is used to collect information and secretly help Mu Qianfan Ascend to the throne." Mu Changfeng said.

"The purpose of that person is to help Mu Qianfan ascend the throne? Who is he, and why is he so kind to Mu Qianfan?" Gu Zhengqing was surprised, and began to think about who would be this mysterious person beside Mu Qianfan.

"The way he helped Mu Qianfan was to kill the emperor, then my second and third brothers, and finally get rid of me. One after another, the turmoil in the court and the people's panic in the dark are not conducive to stability, and it is easy for foreign enemies. But I can take advantage of this opportunity. Before I returned to the capital, there was already turmoil on the border, and it took several years to calm down the chaos. In my opinion, the purpose of this mysterious man behind the scenes is not simply to help Mu Qianfan ascend the throne It's so simple, otherwise he wouldn't need to cover up and spend a lot of trouble." Mu Changfeng said.

"The prince means that the purpose of this mysterious person is probably to disturb the court, cause turmoil in the country, and then take advantage of the fire to loot?" Gu Zhengqing asked in surprise.

Mu Changfeng nodded, "That's right."

"Who is that, could it be the Northern Man?" Gu Zhengqing asked.

"Beiman, Nanjiang, and seawolves are all possible. Gu poison is what Nanjiang is good at. On the surface, Nanjiang is the most suspected, but the first to take advantage of the fire is Beiman, and Haiwo is also ready to move after that. Riot." Mu Changfeng said.

Gu Zhengqing thought of a possibility, and was shocked, "Could it be that they are secretly united?!"

Mu Changfeng pondered for a moment, "The possibility is very high."

Gu Zhengqing was startled, if Mu Changfeng had really died on the way to escape, then the final outcome would probably be very different.The royal clan members, the old, the young, and the capable were all eliminated one by one. Once Mu Qianfan died too, it would be really messed up. When the time comes when Nanjiang, Beiman, and Haiwo attack together, then The country of the Great Zhou Dynasty was in jeopardy.

"Report to the lord, King Rui is here to visit." Suddenly a servant announced from outside the house.

Mu Qianfan?He is not busy covering up his plot at this time, what to do here.Gu Zhengqing got up and stood beside Mu Changfeng.

"Let him in." Mu Changfeng said.

"Brother Wang." Mu Qianfan came in quickly, with a smile on his face, and he glanced at Gu Zhengqing beside Mu Changfeng.His attendant, Zhang Jingsheng, also followed, but stopped outside the house without entering the door.

"Why come here when you have time?" Mu Changfeng asked.

"I left too hastily yesterday and didn't have a good chat with Brother Wang, so I came here specially to accompany you today." Mu Qianfan said with a smile.

Seeing his smiling face, Gu Zhengqing's heart sank. Mu Qianfan didn't seem to be worried about the conspiracy being exposed at all. Could it be that the prince really hit the mark, and the emperor couldn't find Mu Qianfan?

Mu Changfeng naturally also noticed Mu Qianfan's relaxed demeanor, a cold light flashed across his eyes, but it didn't show at all on his face.

"Is there something urgent yesterday?" Mu Changfeng asked pretending not to know.

Mu Qianfan's expression changed slightly, and he continued to smile and said, "It's not a big deal to say it, the people in the house couldn't make up their minds and rushed to tell me to go back."

Mu Changfeng knew the truth of this sentence, so he didn't ask.

"Brother Wang, I have something I want to discuss with you." Mu Qianfan chatted with Mu Changfeng for a few words, then glanced at Gu Zhengqing.

"My lord, my subordinates will leave first." Gu Zhengqing was very "tactful" and immediately said.

"Go." Mu Changfeng nodded.

Seeing Gu Zhengqing going out, Mu Qianfan winked at Zhang Jingsheng who was waiting at the door, Zhang Jingsheng nodded slightly.

Their small actions thought they were not attracting attention, but they didn't know that they all fell into the eyes of Gu Zhengqing and Mu Changfeng.

Gu Zhengqing turned his mind, walked out the door with a calm expression, nodded to Zhang Jingsheng, and was about to turn around and leave.

And Zhang Jingsheng also left the door behind him, Gu Zhengqing sneered secretly when he heard his footsteps.

"Gu Guanshi, please stop." Some distance away from the entrance of the hall, Zhang Jingsheng called to stop Gu Zhengqing.

Gu Zhengqing turned around to look at Zhang Jingsheng with a slightly surprised expression, and asked, "What's the matter with Manager Zhang calling me to live here?"

"I didn't expect Steward Gu to know me. As expected of Steward Gu's young master, he is really meticulous. No wonder His Royal Highness King Ling values ​​you so much." Zhang Jingsheng said with a smile.

To top him off?Gu Zhengqing smiled just right, "Guard Zhang is overrated, I just serve the prince carefully."

"Where, Guanshi Gu deserves this praise. You can be appreciated by the prince at such a young age. I also admire you very much." Zhang Jingsheng continued.

Gu Zhengqing smiled calmly, and didn't answer, as if acquiescing to Zhang Jingsheng's words.

Zhang Jingsheng observed his expression and said, "I also heard that Guanshi Gu was a teacher before he came to the palace, but now Kailai is indeed full of talent and extraordinary appearance, which is quite different from us. His Highness King Ling must think so."

"In the eyes of the lord, I am no different from other people, but Zhang Guan actually looks down on me." Gu Zhengqing said.What exactly is Zhang Jingsheng trying to do by giving him such a high hat?

Zhang Jingsheng waved his hand, "You are too modest. I have always envied scholars, especially a learned gentleman like you. I will ask you for advice when I have time someday."

If he believed this, he would be a ghost, Gu Zhengqing secretly twitched his lips.What exactly did Zhang Jingsheng mean? Could it be that he wanted to win him over?

"I don't dare to give advice. If Manager Zhang needs help, I will try my best." Gu Zhengqing decided to follow Zhang Jingsheng's words and see what kind of tricks he was playing.

"Then I would like to thank Guan Shi first." Zhang Jingsheng said pleasantly.

After that, he didn't continue this topic, but just talked about some things that have been circulating in Beijing recently, which are all jokes that people use to pass the time.Gu Zhengqing wasn't impatient, he cheered at the right time, showed surprise at the right time, and only regarded himself as a newcomer who was curious about the capital.

"Brother Wang, do you know about the poisoning of the emperor?" Mu Qianfan asked Mu Changfeng.

Mu Changfeng nodded, "I'm afraid no one in the court knows about this matter. I just saw Brother Huang yesterday. He is fine now and is trying his best to track down the person who poisoned him."

"Sure enough, Brother Wang also knew about it. This incident happened too suddenly, and yesterday your birthday celebration was not held in a lively manner. The Second and Third Brothers only showed their faces in a hurry and left." Mu Qian Vatican Road.

Mu Changfeng didn't speak.

"Brother Wang, do you know that there are some rumors secretly now." Mu Qianfan said looking at Mu Changfeng's face.

"What rumor?" Mu Changfeng asked.

"I don't know where it was initiated. Some people said that the emperor's poison came from something strange. They said that someone did it to seize the throne. When it comes to seizing the throne, the princes are too young. We are the ones who are most suspicious." Mu Qianfan said.

"Oh? What about you, you think so too?" Mu Changfeng said.

"How is it possible? I don't understand that others secretly planted the blame. How can I not understand the brothers? It must have nothing to do with you." Mu Qianfan said.

How many brothers?That said, he completely removed himself.Mu Changfeng's eyes turned slightly cold.

"Since you know it, why bother with these gossips." Mu Changfeng said.

"Your brother is clear, but what about the emperor?" Mu Qianfan suddenly lowered his voice, "Brother Wang, I know that you have a good relationship with the emperor, but can you guarantee that the emperor has never doubted it?"

"So what do you mean?" Mu Changfeng followed his words and asked.

"If my little brother had a way to help the emperor find out the person who poisoned him, why would he sit here and talk about it? I just want to remind Brother Wang that you should pay attention recently." Mu Qianfan said.

remind?I'm afraid he wants to plant seeds of doubt in his heart.Mu Changfeng lowered his eyes to hide the coldness and killing intent in his eyes.

"Brother Wang?" Seeing the change in Mu Changfeng's face, Mu Qianfan pretended to be puzzled and shouted with deep meaning in his eyes.In Mu Changfeng's eyes, he has always been a gentle and humble younger brother, and he has always played such a role very well. Mu Changfeng will not doubt his purpose for saying these words. As long as Mu Changfeng listens to his heart, he will definitely He will be wary of the emperor, and maybe he will also be wary of King Ming and King Cheng.Even if he didn't take precautions right away, there would definitely be opportunities like this in the future, as long as Mu Changfeng gradually distanced himself from King Ming and King Cheng, and slowly became more and more determined to stand by his side.

"Pay attention to the Brotherhood." Mu Changfeng said.Looking at Mu Qianfan's gentle and harmless face, a murderous intent surged in his heart.
