The steward of the palace of rebirth

Along the way into Taixuanmen, many people saluted and greeted Mu Changfeng, and they all looked familiar.

Gu Zhengqing looked at the scenery of Taixuanmen, and considering that this was his second visit to Taixuanmen in his previous life, he still thought it was very good.The scenery is extremely beautiful, and every house is perfectly integrated with the scenery, with originality.The disciples who come and go are carrying a sword on their backs, and everyone has a more or less awe-inspiring aura born of the sword. Men are masculine, and women are also extremely heroic.The combination of them is awe-inspiring and fierce, but it does not conflict with the beautiful scenery here, but forms a special fusion and is full of vitality.

The martial arts training grounds of Taixuanmen are very spacious and can be seen from a distance.Gu Zhengqing couldn't help but compare the disciples who practiced swords with Mu Changfeng, and easily concluded that they were far inferior to Mu Changfeng, and felt very proud.

Xifeng and the others who were traveling with him were all warriors, so they couldn't help but take a closer look at this scene.

"Have you been followed?" Su Yao asked Mu Changfeng just after a disciple in Tsing Yi whispered in front of Su Yao.

After hearing the concubine's words, Gu Zhengqing and the others turned their attention back.

"Yes, there are two people who followed all the way from the capital. We can't touch them, we can only monitor them." Mu Changfeng said.

"What's going on." Su Yao said.

"Mother, I will tell you about this matter later." Mu Changfeng said.

Su Yao nodded. Seeing Mu Changfeng's calm expression, she knew that this matter was under Mu Changfeng's control, so she was relieved.

There are eight elders in Taixuanmen, and they live in different places. Su Yao's residence is halfway up the mountain next door.After Gu Zhengqing and the others went up the mountain, they walked to the cliff, crossed the wooden bridge reinforced with iron cables on both sides to the opposite side, and then went around a mountain road to Su Yao's residence.

But before the cable bridge, they first met Lin Yaoguang, the current head of Taixuan Sect, and behind him were several elders who came to see Mu Changfeng specially.

"I haven't seen you for almost a year. How is His Royal Highness Lingwang?" Lin Yaoguang asked with a smile, looking very kind.

"The head of the sect has a heart, everything is fine." Mu Changfeng said, and then he also greeted the elders behind him.

Mu Changfeng can come here every year, and they are familiar with each other, so although he is a prince, the people of the Taixuan sect will not be too polite to him, on the contrary, it will hurt their kindness.

"Your Highness's skill seems to have improved again." An old man with white beard and hair looked at Mu Changfeng and said, his tone was quite appreciative.

"Elder Qin has a keen eye for some small progress, but he can't hide it." Mu Changfeng said in a gentle tone.

Elder Qin laughed a few times, "Although His Highness is talented and hard-working, it is very rare to have such a breakthrough in only one year."

Su Yao also vaguely felt that her son's skill had improved, but now she saw what Elder Qin meant, and she understood that Mu Changfeng's improvement was very different this time.

"The younger generation shouldn't praise too much, but Elder Qin can't praise any more." Su Yao said.

Including several other elders, Elder Qin and the others all laughed.

"We won't delay your mother and son reminiscing about the old days. We will have a small welcome banquet tonight, and then we can talk." Lin Yaoguang said.

"Thank you, Sect Leader." Mu Changfeng said.

After bidding farewell to the head of the Taixuan Sect and several elders, Gu Zhengqing and the others followed Mu Changfeng and Su Yao back to the courtyard halfway up the mountain.

Su Yao is happy and quiet. There is no one else here except the palace servants who came out from the palace to serve.

"See Your Highness!" These palace people are now dressed as ordinary servants. There are a total of more than ten people who have been waiting at the door for a long time. After seeing Mu Changfeng, they knelt down to pay homage in surprise.

"Invite everyone." Mu Changfeng said, every year he came to these people, he would come here, he said it but it didn't work, so he let them go.

"This king has not been able to be filial to my concubine, thank you all for taking care of my concubine with all my heart." Mu Changfeng said again.

Of course, what he responded to was a lot of words such as "shame me" and "should".

"Your Highness, Empress, come into the room quickly." A nanny who was about the same age as Su Yao said, "The slaves and servants have prepared the tea that His Highness likes for His Highness to drink."

Su Yao smiled and said to Mu Changfeng, "Go in."

Mu Changfeng nodded, and led Gu Zhengqing and the others into the courtyard.

As soon as they arrived, they filled up all the guest rooms in the courtyard. Xifeng took people to tidy things up, while Gu Zhengqing led Fuqing and Fusheng to follow behind Mu Changfeng with gifts from Mu Changfeng and the emperor. out of the main hall.

"This is a gift from the emperor and me." Mu Changfeng said after entering the hall.

Gu Zhengqing and the others hurriedly delivered the presents.

Su Yao looked at the biggest one, and at a glance, she didn't belong to her son, and said, "is this from the emperor?"

Mu Changfeng nodded: "Brother Huang said that he is busy with court affairs and can't leave him alone, so he can't come to see you in person, so he can only bring you a gift and hope you like it. He will come to see you again when he is less busy with court affairs."

Su Yao nodded, ordered Nanny to put away the gift, and then said: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen the emperor for several years. How is he doing recently?"

"Fortunately, I'm in good health, and the court is stable, but I have a lot of things to do." Mu Changfeng said.

"But I heard that he was poisoned a while ago." Su Yao said.

After Mu Changfeng and Su Yao sat down, Gu Zhengqing led the people out of the main hall and waited outside. Mu Changfeng's gaze followed Gu Zhengqing away, frowning slightly, as if he didn't like Gu Zhengqing going away.

Su Yao looked at him, then at Gu Zhengqing who had already left the door, and suddenly said: "Zhengqing, don't wait outside, come in."

Gu Zhengqing was surprised, but thanked him quickly, and came into the hall again, standing behind Mu Changfeng.

Mu Changfeng's face looked better now.In the palace, Gu Zhengqing was willing to sit down and talk to him after being told a few times by him, but now everything is back to the original point outside, Mu Changfeng is still a little unhappy.

"It was poisoned, and I almost didn't notice it." Mu Changfeng replied to Su Yao's words, and told her the whole story of Mu Lingtian's poisoning.

"It's dangerous." Su Yao said after listening, "It's also thanks to Supervisor Wang."

Gu Zhengqing, who knew the inside story, kept a stern face, not daring to show anything wrong, after all, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he saw Mu Changfeng seriously saying that Wang Sitong's dream was so miraculous and amazing.

"Then this has something to do with your being followed?" Su Yao asked.

"It's another matter." Mu Changfeng went on to talk about Liu Zhiyuan's corruption and the emperor ordered him to investigate secretly.

"It means that you came to see me as a cover, and the purpose is to investigate the case." Su Yao said.

"To see the mother and concubine is the main purpose, and investigating the case is incidental." Mu Changfeng said.

Gu Zhengqing was a little surprised, Mu Changfeng is also quite good at coaxing people.

Su Yao looked at her son meaningfully, and asked directly, "when will you leave?"

"Accompany mother and concubine to dinner tonight before leaving. Except for Zhengqing, Xifeng and the other two guards, everyone else will stay here to cover up." Mu Changfeng said.

Su Yao nodded.

"Be vigilant and protect your own safety." Su Yao said.

"Yes." Mu Changfeng said.

"Zhengqing doesn't know martial arts, can you take care of him when he's in danger." Su Yao suddenly said again.

"I will protect him." Mu Changfeng said, and then his expression faded a lot after he thought of something.

What Mu Changfeng said was a promise, and Su Yao didn't continue to say anything.On the contrary, Gu Zhengqing looked at Su Yao worriedly after hearing Mu Changfeng's words, and was relieved when he saw that she had no special reaction.

What the prince said is completely wrong!He is a subordinate, isn't he protecting the prince, why did the prince promise to protect him?

Gu Zhengqing felt that this conversation was really weird, but he was very frustrated because he really didn't know martial arts, and he couldn't protect Mu Changfeng by force.

Gu Zhengqing, who thought this way, never thought that in his previous life, he also did not know martial arts, but at the last critical moment, he did his best to protect Mu Changfeng.

Mu Changfeng was thinking about something, and didn't realize that his little steward was depressed in time.

Su Yao could see clearly, and interest appeared in her eyes again.

"Actually, you can also put Zhengqing here, it's always safe here." Su Yao suddenly said again.

Mu Changfeng frowned slightly, "Don't worry about my concubine, Zhengqing is safe by my side."

Gu Zhengqing: ...

What should he say? No matter how you listen to this, there is a sense of putting the cart before the horse!

"Please don't worry, the concubine, the subordinates will be careful not to let themselves become a burden to the prince." Gu Zhengqing said.

It's okay not to say this, but Mu Changfeng frowned even more when he said that.

"Cough." Su Yao coughed lightly, "Then it's up to you."

If she continued, her son would be angry.

Su Yao thought of the news from the middle of Beijing, and now she looked at the interaction between the two of them again, feeling thoughtful.

Gu Zhengqing's eyes are clear and upright, without any irritability, he is a down-to-earth child, which is somewhat similar to Gu Huaisi.

Her son doesn't need to spread branches and leaves for the royal family like the emperor. She will not stop anyone she likes, but she will not make a conclusion too early, let's see later.

Just looking at the current situation, it seems that something happened that she didn't know but was concealed, and Gu Zhengqing hasn't noticed her son's thoughts yet.

This is interesting.
