Master's Chief Disciple

Mu Huayan recognized that the black shadow was the one who set up the ambush and trapped her in the formation. Wu Mo told her that the man must be a member of the Wugu tribe because he smelled like insects.

But he was not Shan Ming who had injured him in the palace that day. He was another member of the Wugu tribe and his cultivation was at least comparable to that of a quasi-immortal emperor.

Mu Huayan didn't want to fight with them at the moment because a lot of strong men had just gathered near the Marquis' Mansion. If they fought, they might not be able to defeat them.

"Oh, isn't this the Demon Lord Wu Mo? How did he get mixed up with the powerful human race's God of Slaughter and War?"

"Humph, it has nothing to do with you."

The black shadow was emitting a purple-black aura, so the true appearance of the person could not be seen clearly. However, Zhong Siyao and the others recognized that it was him who had poisoned the bean cake.

The black shadow wanted to fight with Mu Huayan, but he didn't dare to act rashly when he saw Wu Mo was there. After all, he also knew the art of witchcraft, so this battle was meaningless.

"Hahaha... God of Killing, sooner or later we will have a fight!"

But just as she finished her conversation, Tao Yun's voice came into her mind again. It was already noon, so she could only take the risk of letting Bai Yu and the others stay here.

She tried to send a message to a good friend but found that the person had passed away and could not be contacted. However, her other close friends were unwilling to get involved as they thought that staying with her would only make them die faster.

She set up a barrier in the mansion and then lowered her head to think about how to break it. Without a strong man in the mansion, it would give the enemy a chance to disrupt it.

However, the assassins around him had not yet dispersed, so it was difficult to get out. He called Bai Yu and the others, "Tang Xuanze, Bai Yu, Zhong Siyao, Fang Hanyu, you four are the strongest. Remember to be alert and don't fall into the enemy's trap."

"Wu Mo, Bai Yu and Tian Nan Hou Mansion are in your hands."

"Miss Mu, don't worry."

Qin Man heard the voice and came out, shouting: "God of Slaughter, when did you come back?"

She bit her lip and then talked to her, but Qin Man kept pestering her and wouldn't let her go, so Wu Mo had to pull her away, "God of Killing, please tell me when you come back next time. I admire you so much."

Bai Yu and the others twitched their lips, thinking that this person's level of annoyance was comparable to Zhong Siyao. Just as they thought of her, she actually came out and met Qin Man.

"Ah, why don't you walk with any sound?"

"It was obviously you who didn't look at the road."

"......"

Mu Huayan transformed into Gu Qingtang's appearance. Coincidentally, Song Yunmo came out at this time and tore open a space and returned to the palace together.

The regent looked gloomy and said that he had searched the entire palace but could not find Song Yunmo. At this time, it was already a quarter of an hour late for the court session.

Song Yunmo apologized sincerely with an innocent smile. Everything went smoothly during the morning court session and there was nothing unusual.

But at this time, another piece of great news came out from the palace. It was about how Song Yunmo had clearly doted on the imperial concubine for so long, but why didn't he show any reaction?

Even if it is difficult for immortal cultivators to conceive, it shouldn't be the case. After all, after such a long time, there should be some movement.

The Grand Princess took this to heart and without further ado went to Chengzheng Palace to find Song Yunmo to ask for clarification.

After all, continuing the incense is no joke, but as soon as she stepped into the hall, a palace maid followed her out of the hall.

"This servant greets the Grand Princess."

"Why are you so panicked?"

"My Lord Princess, my master, Consort Zhaoyi, is ill. I am here to ask Your Majesty to come visit her."

The eldest princess led her into the palace, but no one else was there. The regent told her that the emperor was accompanying the imperial concubine.

But it was unclear where exactly it was, and at this moment Gu Qingtang was lying on the huge bed thinking about how to break the situation.

A quarter of an hour later, the door creaked open. When Song Yunmo came in, he found that she had fallen asleep, so he covered her with the quilt without disturbing her.

"Don't go... Why... fate plays such a trick on us."

Hearing her whisper and the tears falling from her eyes, he sighed softly and reached out to wipe away her tears, but she woke up with a start.

Noticing the coldness on her face, she looked up and saw Song Yunmo, then she quickly reached out and wiped the tears from her face and sat up, "You're back."

"Yun Mo, are you in the inner room?"

Hearing the eldest princess' voice, he opened the door and walked out. The two sat down outside a pavilion and chatted for a long time.

"Okay, I'll go see her now."

However, he did not answer her question about offspring, but threatened that he would deal with the rumors in the palace.

The Grand Princess could not ask about the matter between him and Concubine Zhaoyi any more, and could only sigh helplessly and watch him leave.

Tao Yun ran over and said that the emperor had gone to visit the sick Zhaoyi, and asked her not to remain indifferent and to go and see him as soon as possible.

Before knowing Chu Mengyan's real purpose, they can't have too much contact with each other, and they don't know what tricks Chu Mengyan is playing.

"Princess, please stop dawdling."

"Yes, yes, I'll go check it out now."

Gu Qingtang, who had finished mumbling in his heart, had no choice but to bring some supplements and medicinal herbs to visit the sick Concubine Zhaoyi.

But as soon as she stepped into the room of Youxiang Palace, she saw Chu Mengyan hugging Song Yunmo and pretending to be weak, and her clothes on the left side had slipped off, revealing her snow-white shoulders.

"Greetings, Princess."

Song Yunmo tried to untie her restless hands but failed repeatedly. When he heard that Gu Qingtang was coming, he stopped panicking.

She coughed deliberately, "I heard that Concubine Zhaoyi was ill, so I specially ordered someone to bring a lot of medicinal herbs to visit her."

"I hope I didn't disturb you. I wonder if Concubine Mei's illness has improved?"

She had no choice but to let go of Song Yunmo and covered her mouth, pretending to cough. "I thank the imperial concubine for coming to visit me. I am feeling much better now than yesterday."

She took the medicine bowl from Song Yunmo and sat on the stool in front of the bed. Chu Mengyan was frightened by her action and sat up immediately.

"How dare I trouble the Imperial Concubine to serve me personally?"

She pulled her lips into a smile and then called the palace maid waiting outside the door to pass the medicine over, "Take good care of your master."

"Since Consort Mei is fine, then... we can't delay His Majesty from handling state affairs."

"The Imperial Concubine is right, I, your concubine..."

Seeing that she wanted to get out of bed, Gu Qingtang said quickly, "No need to send me off. Just take a good rest."

After saying this, she pulled Song Yunmo away from Youxiang Palace. Seeing their receding backs, she couldn't help but feel bitter and resentful.

He knocked over the medicine bowl in the maid's hand and clenched his fists. He was about to have something happen with him last time, but was interrupted.

"Gu Qingtang!"

There was a vicious look in Chu Mengyan's eyes.

In the Tingzhu Palace,

"Song Yunmo, she is the princess of the enemy country, can you be more careful?"

"Try not to have too much contact with her before you figure out her true purpose."

Song Yunmo just looked at her blankly and nodded without saying anything. However, Gu Qingtang thought about it for a moment and felt that something was wrong.

If we don't treat the princess of the enemy country well, she might deliberately create trouble and then provoke a war between the two countries.

"Don't worry, I have my own measure."

Song Yunmo knew what she was thinking so he quickly spoke to reassure her. Gu Qingtang felt a little tired so she ignored him and fell asleep.

"Anyway, you better be careful. I always feel that things are not simple."

The next day, it was sunny.

Gu Qingtang was wondering why he hadn't seen the chattering Tao Yun. She would come to Tingzhu Hall on time every morning to wait for him.

When I asked the guards, they said they had not seen Tao Yun. I tried to send her a message but could not find any trace of her either.

"I hope nothing will happen to this girl."

Song Yunmo came out of the house and saw that she looked a little flustered. "What's wrong?"

After Gu Qingtang briefly talked to him, he sent a few guards to look for her and told her not to worry.

Soon after Song Yunmo finished his morning court session, he received a report from the front saying that Emperor Chu Yun had suddenly dispatched troops to Beiyao Continent.

It is said that they want to attract the strong men from Beiyao Continent to join the palace. There are also rumors that they want to control Beiyao Continent and make the strong men serve them.

However, Beiyao Continent was already within the boundaries of Chu Yun Imperial Capital, and it was not easy for him to intervene in the matter. Therefore, Song Yunmo did not pay attention to the secret letter.

Gu Qingtang happened to come to Chengzheng Hall and found the secret letter he threw aside, "Beiyao Continent..."
