Mu Jinghong rode a carriage to a secluded place in the south of the city. The people from Gu's mansion guarded every corner. When they saw her coming, they came up to greet her.

"Our Lord is waiting for Princess Qi in front of you, please."

With his guidance, Mu Jinghong saw Taiwei Gu standing there in the open space ahead.

The person who led the way nodded and turned around and retreated.

Mu Jinghong did not bring anyone here, and the others did not know that she came directly to see Taiwei Gu when she came out of the Imperial Heavenly Prison.

Seeing her coming alone, she didn't see Chu Ji without guards.

Taiwei Gu said with some surprise: "I didn't expect you to be so bold."

"Will my uncle be bad for me?" Mu Jinghong asked back.

Taiwei Gu was stunned and said, "It depends on whether Princess Qi recognizes me as her uncle."

"My mother passed the message, and I thought my uncle was meeting me in the form of family affection. It turned out that I was thinking that I was not bad. You met me as the Grand Marshal."

Grand Marshal Gu looked at her coldly and said, "My uncle has to do some things, so don't blame him."

"I won't blame my uncle. If you want to blame, blame the world. I understand my uncle's difficulties, but I also ask my uncle to understand my difficulties. My uncle made an appointment with me today, and I don't have to hide anything I have to say."

They are all sensible people.

Taiwei Gu looked at the calm woman deeply, and could no longer see the quiet and weak girl at the time. She is now the only one who speaks about Princess Qi and a female official from the Imperial Heaven Supervision Bureau. She has the ability to fear others.

She is now able to stand in front of him, the Grand Marshal with confidence, and speaks less respect than before.

It's like another person.

His niece grew up too terrible.

"Before you entered the palace of Prince Yu, the Gu family and Prince Yu were not in harmony, and you should have thought of what happened later. The words my uncle said to you before were also reminding you that you should not blame your uncle for what happened later. Since you can come, your uncle won't say much. Just want to ask what you plan to do in Kyoto City this time and when will you leave."

After asking, Gu Taiwei looked at Mu Jinghong with a deep expression, waiting for her answer.

Mu Jinghong smiled and said, "If my answer cannot satisfy my uncle, how will my uncle treat your niece?"

Her eyes looked around, and the people guarding there were his people.

Taiwei Gu turned his back slightly, "It depends on how you dissatisfied me."

The dangerous aura dispersed between the two.

a long time.

I heard Mu Jinghong say, "I can only tell you clearly to the Taiwei Lord that everything we do now will not conflict with the interests of the Gu family for the time being."

Taiwei Gu narrowed his eyes and believed her for the time being.

However, whether Mu Jinghong's words represent Chu Ji is worthy of investigation.

"That's a real shame."

Taiwei Gu looked at her and suddenly said something.

Mu Jinghong seemed to know what he was doing, but just smiled faintly, "In this world, there are many things that many people regret, but some things are irreversible. Master Taiwei also knows that the queen's cousin has had a deep prejudice against me recently. As long as she does not have bad ideas, I will not take any action."

Taiwei Gu narrowed his deep eyes and watched Mu Jinghong slowly withdraw his eyes as he walked away.

Although the two did not talk about any substantive topics, they already knew from their own attitude that they could not maintain their previous relationship.

Perhaps the next collision will be a life-and-death enemy relationship, not a family relationship.

No matter how Gu family hopes that they will be harmonious, they will be disappointed.

Even if Taiwei Gu lets Mu Jinghong go, Mu Jinghong will not let him go.

Not only him, but Chu Yu.

Mu Jinghong never thought of letting them live a good life, she came back for this obsession.

If it weren't for these hatreds, Mu Jinghong might have chosen to stay quietly in Yanzhou with Chu Qi.

...

Pear blossom platform.

The flowers fade and the shadows climb up the steps.

Hua Xieying, who rarely walked through the main entrance, came to visit Mr. Luo before she took off her official robe. The mountain wind blew, lifting up the corner of his clothes.

Looking from top to bottom, Jiang Wanfeng stood quietly at the front, watching the shadows of flowers coming up.

The two met each other without any verbal bows. When they were about to cross, Hua Xieying suddenly said, "Before congratulations to the Hanlin Bachelor, you will soon become the Royal Grand Tutor."

Jiang Wanfeng looked over and saw a deep eye flowing through his deep eyes.

"Compared with the achievements of Mr. Hua, it is still slightly inferior."

"Lord Xiao Jiang is too humble. There is Lord Jiang in front and Lord Xiao Jiang in the back. The Jiang family's power is far higher than that of Gu's mansion."

Jiang Wanfeng frowned.

Back then, when Lord Hua Shangshu Ling was there, he was equal to the Secretary of Jiang Zhong. However, after the position of Shangshu Ling was gone, their Hua family was in a state of decline.

Although the legitimate sons of the Hua family were all officials in court, except for Hua Xieying who had room for promotion, his younger brother Hua Xixie had been released in another state, and he didn't know when he would return to Kyoto City.

As long as the emperor intends to suppress it, their Hua family will have no place to stand up. On the contrary, the Jiang family's momentum is getting stronger and stronger!

"Lao Luo's heart is kind-hearted. If Lord Hua is valued by Mr. Luo, he must be a person with firm mind and a person with love, hate and hate wisdom."

Hua Xieying smiled calmly, Jiang Wanfeng was mocking him Hua Xieying's heart and nature were like a small tool.

"Mr. Xiao Jiang is right. I have always been loving, hating and hating. I would like to remind Mr. Xiao Jiang that the matter in the palace is rarely involved. Whether it is the Hua family or other aristocratic families that have been dismissed, Mr. Xiao Jiang also watched them all the way and knew what they were going to happen."

Jiang Wanfeng narrowed his black eyes slightly.

"Old Luo has been waiting for a long time, Lord Xiaojiang asks for help."

With a bow, the flowers faded and the shadows passed over.

Turning his head and looking at the entrance of the flat top of the pear blossom platform, Hua Xieying's figure had disappeared from that place, and the little boy walked away with a smile.

Jiang Wanfeng clenched his fist and relaxed it.

After returning from Dongqi Kingdom, Hua Xieying seemed to have become a different person and became more and more difficult to get along with.

Jiang Xiangchan became more and more powerful in the palace, and what followed was the emperor's expectations for the Jiang family, which gave them more honors. But he also understood that if the Jiang family really avoided suspicion like other aristocratic families, it would become a useless chess in the hands of the emperor.

Hua Xieying was right. If you follow this method, the Jiang family will sooner or later become another Hua family, or even Duanmu family.

"Lu Wenqing, Lu Wenqing, follow you, I don't know whether this road is right or wrong. Once I step on the wrong path, I, Jiang Wanfeng, will pay the entire Jiang family."

Is it worth it for a Duanmu Zunyue?

Jiang Wanfeng smiled bitterly and walked slowly down the mountain.

...

Compared with Mr. Luo three years ago, he was much older. When he saw Hua Xieying, he couldn't help but think of Mu Jinghong, "Now Princess Qi has entered the court as a female official and is in charge of the Imperial Heaven Supervisor. At that time, he thought that Princess Qi was extremely talented in the chess formation. He didn't expect that this change would occur after a few years."

"How is Mr. Luo's health recently? This is a good medicine collected by the younger generation among the people. I hope Mr. Luo will accept it."

Hua Xieying did not answer Mr. Luo's words, but instead sent the box in his hand.

Many young men who grew up next to him took over.

When talking about Mu Jinghong, Hua Xieying always feels strange in her heart, so she deliberately avoids it.

"You are already very happy to come to visit me, the old man. What else can you bring?"

"I am worried about Mr. Luo's health, so Mr. Luo must take care of himself."

"Now the chaotic situation is in chaos. The emperor is determined to take control of the world. As a minister, he does not have any real power in his hands, and his heart is also unstable. If this person is unstable, he will do some extreme things. Let's talk about the Gu family, the more he suppresses the Gu family, the harder he fights. This is how the court will become chaotic..."

Only in front of people like Hua Xieying can Mr. Luo complain like this.

Hua Xieying knew that Luo always felt sorry for the dynasty in the Northern Tang Dynasty and was afraid that the common people would suffer man-made disasters.

The current situation is turbulent, and the common people are the first to suffer.

The "gods" fighting above, the people below endure hardships.

Mr. Luo talked about these things with Hua Xieying, because he was afraid that Hua Xieying would become a disaster in the hearts of ordinary people.

When he returned from Dongqi Kingdom, he was very resentful and revengeful.

Luo is really worried.

Now seeing that he gradually recovered, he felt a little relieved.

"Old Luo has been withdrawing for many years and still cares about the people. If the people know that Old Luo cares about everyone so much, they will..."

Mr. Luo raised his hand, stopped his boasting words, turned around and looked at him deeply, and said, "I know your nature. Before you went to Dongqi Kingdom, Princess Wei probably had a premonition."

Hua Xieying was stunned, "Has she talked about this to Mr. Luo?"

"Princess Qi said nothing," Old Luo pointed at himself, "I have lived for a long time, and I still have some vision of looking at people and things. She knows your thoughts. But A Ying, you have to let go."

The old man's last words instantly shook his eyes and his eyes were slightly red.

Can't let go.
