Master's Chief Disciple

Song Yunmo and the other man both looked puzzled. Gu Qingtang sent the scene of General Jinhu and his men being attacked into his mind.

"Your Majesty, General Jin Hu's remains are now placed in his palace."

Gu Qingtang held his hand and told him that someone would be waiting for him near the general's mansion, so he asked the regent to help him look after Gu Qingtang while he went out.

After he turned into a long rainbow and left the palace, he immediately tore open a space. In just a moment, he arrived at General Jinhu's mansion. When he looked around, a hand touched his shoulder.

When he turned around and found that the person coming was Mu Huayan, the murderous aura instantly dissipated. It turned out that General Jinhu had a poisonous insect in his body and his body had been sealed in a coffin.

"It must be burned with fire as soon as possible, otherwise when the poisonous insects hatch, tens of thousands of larvae will break out of the body."

But now is the time for the people in the mansion to mourn, and it is not appropriate for them to break into the mansion and burn the body openly.

"Wu Mo, is there any other way to draw out the poisonous insect in his body?"

Wu Mo took off his robes and revealed his true form, releasing his spiritual sense to investigate the remains of General Jin Hu in the mansion. He shook his head but nodded after a moment.

"Cast a spell to awaken the poisonous insect in his body, but it is very dangerous. If the poisonous insect is awakened prematurely, it will explode immediately."

"The green poisonous smoke that is emitted is enough to knock down the entire population of Jiangdu City."

Generally, after a general dies, his family will keep vigil for three days before burying or cremating him. However, the poisonous insect in his body will wake up at noon tomorrow.

There is still one hour left until the morning hour. Song Yunmo is somewhat sad. He never thought that the generals around him would suffer such torture after their death.

The fists in his wide sleeves were clenched tightly. In order to save the lives of the innocent people in the city, General Jin Hu would have stepped forward without hesitation.

Mu Huayan and the other two looked at Song Yunmo and waited for his order. He immediately sent a message to the Regent and ordered him to write an imperial edict and send it to General Jinhu's mansion.

After a while, the Regent was followed by six guards, who were carrying a lot of fairy flowers and herbs, as well as other things.

A quarter of an hour later, the regent ordered his men to carry the body of General Jin Hu to a mausoleum where brave warriors were buried.

The imperial edict informed his family that Gu Chun died bravely in the fight against the enemy, so he was allowed to be buried in the mausoleum of Tianxiao City.

By observing the stars and calculating the time, they found that Chenshi was the best time for cremation. The three of them breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that his body had been cremated.

One of the demon Wugu tribe members who was secretly tinkering with the plan became angry when he sensed that his poisonous insect had been destroyed.

In a rage, he split the table with his palm and killed a follower.

But when Song Yunmo returned to the palace, Gu Lianyin went to the Grand Princess to complain, saying that the current emperor had promised her father that he would return safely.

The final result was that his father died in battle. "So I don't accept it. My father who always loved me is gone. I..."

She cried heartbreakingly in front of Song Shulan, saying that her father should have watched her marry in style.

The eldest princess almost had a heart attack after hearing this. She shook her head and frowned, "I can't interfere in the affairs of the court. Besides, I heard that the emperor has sent someone to send a pension and buried your father in the mausoleum of Tianxiao City."

I thought she would stop talking after hearing this, but she cried even harder, saying that her mother ran away from home when she was young, and now her only beloved father has passed away.

"From now on, it will be just me and my brother who will depend on each other."

"Well, what do you want me to do?"

She said earnestly.

Without waiting for Gu Lianyin to continue answering, the Grand Princess continued, "How about I choose a marriage for you?"

She shook her head and wiped the tears from her face, choking with sobs: "It has always been the case that the daughters of meritorious officials can enter the palace as concubines. I, I..."

The eldest princess thought that this was her idea, but she had no say in it and had to find the emperor.

"Come with me, I will go with you to see Yun Mo."

When she stood up, the maid beside her held her hand, and Gu Lianyin followed her.

The eldest princess ordered another maid to tell the emperor that she had something to talk to him about. When they arrived at the emperor's palace, they found that he had a gloomy face.

Gu Qingtang quietly ground ink for him. When he noticed someone coming, he put down his brush and ink and deliberately walked behind Gu Qingtang.

He held her hand and patiently taught her how to grind the ink so that it would be evenly thick and thin, and spoke softly in her ear.

Song Shulan smiled happily when she saw the warm and harmonious scene between the two. Gu Qingtang saw the nanny coming here and was about to stand up, but he stepped on her skirt.

When she nearly fell backwards, she subconsciously reached out and grabbed his collar. When she looked up, she found that the distance between them was very close.

He put his arm around her waist and pulled her forward a few inches. Then he whispered in her ear, "Please be careful, my princess. I will be very sad if you get hurt."

Gu Qingtang nodded in confusion before walking down the steps and greeting Song Shulan, "Qingtang greets the Imperial Sister."

Song Shulan liked Gu Qingtang more and more, so she pulled her to a chair nearby and prepared to have a long chat.

"Qingtang, do you two have it?"

Gu Qingtang lowered her head in embarrassment, not knowing how to answer her. Seeing her shyness, Song Shulan guessed that the two of them had a mutual understanding and were actually husband and wife.

Song Yunmo, who was reviewing the memorials, had a smile on his face and was very happy. Gu Lianyin coughed slightly with some bitterness when she saw that she was left aside.

Song Shulan then remembered that she had something to ask the Emperor. She sent away the guards and maids outside the door, and was about to ask Gu Qingtang to leave when he stopped her.

"She and I are now inseparable."

Then he took Gu Qingtang into his arms and looked at her lovingly, wishing his eyes could grow on her body.

Seeing this, Song Shulan didn't say much but smiled, thinking that their love was worth her original plan.

She glanced at Gu Lianyin behind her and sighed heavily. Song Yunmo secretly sent a message to Gu Qingtang asking him to act out a scene, otherwise...

She had no choice but to let go of him and pinched his cheeks, smiling seriously and softly: "Song Yunmo, one day in the future will you... abandon me?"

When she said the word "abandon", her hands slid down weakly and her eyes were filled with mist. He took the opportunity to grab those jade hands and put them on his heart.

"I, Song Yunmo, can only have room for you in my heart for the rest of my life."

Facing this confession, Gu Qingtang's heart trembled. It was clearly acting, so why did she always feel that the person in front of her had already entered the role?

She forced a sweet smile and a tear fell from her eyes. At this moment, Mu Huayan just wanted to escape from his arms as far away as possible.

But he just held her in his arms, as if he was afraid that the person in front of him would leave.

Gu Lianyin secretly shed tears beside him. Seeing how much they loved each other, Song Shulan could not bear to talk about taking another concubine.

But since she had promised him, she had to try to help him ask. Song Yunmo let go of Gu Qingtang and held her hand tightly.

He pretended to be confused and asked, "Why are you here, sister?"

She was a little embarrassed to explain her intention to him, and it was conceivable that he did not intend to take a concubine. "General Jinhu is a meritorious official, and I have sent someone to deliver the reward and pension to your house. What else are you dissatisfied with!"
