The lady of Chongxi has supernatural powers and is favored by the powerful official

He added afterwards:

"If that's the case, you'll be even more worried if you don't bring it with you."

Nangong Yu seemed a little reluctant about this decision, so when the emperor made the arrangement, he did not agree immediately, but paused before agreeing.

But the emperor and Xie Daoru could both see his hesitation.

Xie Daoru gave him a look, and Nangong Yu actually understood.

Nangong Yu said:

"Your Majesty, the rebel siege has been resolved for the time being. Why don't you take a rest first? You will have to deal with more things tomorrow."

The emperor sighed heavily and said:

"Well, you have worked hard, go back and rest first."

Nangong Yu didn't say anything polite. He and Xie Daoru took their leave of the emperor and went home.

When he returned to Changtong Marquis's Mansion, the doorman whispered to him as he opened the door:

"Sir, Aunt Zhou gave birth to a little boy."

Nangong Yu paused and nodded, then reached into his arms and took out some silver coins and threw them to the doorman.

"Thank you, Master, for the reward."

Nangong Yu passed by the study in the outer courtyard but did not go in to take a look, even though the lights in the study were still on.

For Nangong Su, this was considered a late-life birth. It was a very happy thing.

When Nangong Yu returned to the backyard, only the lanterns at the entrance of Chaohui Courtyard were still lit. The lanterns in other places were all off.

Shuqi was still standing at the door. When he saw Nangong Yu coming back, he hurried over:

"The young master is back. The second young lady came over, but was called back by Sister Qingqiu, saying that Concubine Zhou wanted to ask for a doctor. Later, it was said that Concubine Zhou had given birth. I heard that it was a little boy."

Nangong Yu nodded gently and said:

"Yeah, it's okay. Is the young lady okay?"

"It's okay. Miss Jiuxi will accompany you to rest in the tree house at the back. Mr. Qingyi is in the study."

Nangong Yu nodded and said:

"Go down and rest."

"Yes."

Before Shuqi went downstairs, he went to find Sister Qingqiu to prepare water for the young master.

Qingqiu got up and turned on the stove in the ear room. The water was already hot.

"Sir, would you like to take a bath first?"

Normally, Nangong Yu and Gu Ruoxi don't like having too many people in their courtyard, so there are usually only two servants, and the ones who are close to them are Qingqiu and Ruyue.

Then there are Jiuxi and Jiuhuan, who are like guards and maids. Therefore, things like boiling water have to be done by older maids like Qingqiu.

"Well, just prepare the water and go and rest. I'll do it myself."

"Yes."

Qing Yi also knew that Nangong Yu was back, and walked out of the study:

"master."

Nangong Yu walked into the room and ordered:

"Let's sort out some things at home. We may leave for Quincy Town again in a few days. This time, take Qingqiu, Shuqi and the others with you. Let's leave the affairs of the mansion to Butler Zhou. We may be gone for a year or two."

Qing Yi was a little surprised:

"If you're going to be gone for so long, why don't you go to the other courtyard?"

"Yes, but I will definitely go to the palace first tomorrow to check out the follow-up news from the Golden Phoenix Palace."

"The Golden Phoenix Mansion has been taken over."

Qing Yi said in a low voice. They have their own way of getting information.

Nangong Yu sighed heavily:

"That's all the Seventh Prince is capable of."

To be honest, Nangong Yu fully believed that the person who could manage the Golden Phoenix Mansion, secretly raise 100,000 soldiers there, and secretly mine gold and silver mines must be someone as cunning as Duke Qin.

It seems that he has placed too many thoughts on the Seventh Prince.

But he didn't expect that he had made such thorough preparations for the Seventh Prince, but in the end, he would fail.

If he could finish this game alive, the rebellion would surely succeed.

"Master, here is some news."

As he spoke, Qingyi handed him a piece of paper. Nangong Yu took a look at it and his eyes darkened.

Gu Qingdai is sick.

The news came from Mo Yi.

"Send a message to Mo Yi, asking him to take Miss Gu and her child, as well as Jiu Huan, and have them go to Quincy. But be careful not to be seen by anyone."

"Send a bottle of the pills that old doctor Yang gave me last time. Take one pill every three days. No matter how serious the illness is, it's good to keep the patient alive. Then, we will arrive. With the young lady here, there will be no problem."

"Yes."

Nangong Yu took a shower, changed his underwear and went straight to the backyard. Jiuxi was under the tree house, and Gu Ruoxi was sleeping soundly in the tree house. When Nangong Yu reached out and picked her up, she only moaned, then found a comfortable position in his arms and continued to sleep.

Nangong Yu felt that the reason she had been sleeping more recently might be because she was pregnant.

When she has the wood spirit, she can choose not to sleep, but once she does, she sleeps very deeply.

Nangong Yu carried the person and the thin blanket down from the tree house and directly carried him back to the house.

As soon as Nangong Yu lay down, Gu Ruoxi put her hands and feet on him. She rubbed her head on Nangong Yu's arm and fell asleep peacefully.

The next morning, when Nangong Yu was about to go to court, she was sleeping horizontally on the bed again.

Nangong Yu was thinking that if the child was born in the future, he would not be able to sleep with them, otherwise, this bed would not be big enough.

Nangong Yu did not wake Gu Ruoxi up, but just covered her gently with the quilt, then put on his official uniform and went out with Qingyi.

Before leaving, he told Jiuxi not to let anyone disturb the young lady's sleep and not to worry about other things. Now that the young lady is pregnant, he must first take care of not making her uncomfortable.

When Nangong Yu went out, Butler Zhou was waiting in the outer courtyard:

"Young Master. Aunt Zhou gave birth to a little young master."

"Well, let the Marquis take care of these things. The young lady is pregnant. Now you can make the decision on everything. The young lady is not in a good mental state."

Butler Zhou was surprised and said:

"Young Madam has a little master? That's a great joy. I know about it."

Butler Zhou said again:

"Sir, the second young master has been out these days."

Nangong Yu raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the Seventh Prince had left Beijing to rebel, but he was active again.

However, he did not plan to stay in the Marquis Changyong's Mansion for long. If he had gone to Quincy Town to help the emperor look after the mines in the past two years, he would have to wait until the child was born before coming back. Anyway, Xier liked the mountains and forests there the most.

"Then you have to pay attention. If there is anything, tell the Marquis. If you feel that the Marquis has not taken good care of something, send me a message. I will probably be sent out in a few days."

Butler Zhou was very surprised. How could it be released externally?

Isn't the young master the most favored minister around the emperor? Did the young master offend the emperor or was he favored by the emperor?

Steward Zhou didn't have time to ask, as Nangong Yu and Qingyi rode their horses in a hurry to the palace.

When it was time to go to court, they received news that the people brought to Jinfeng Mansion by Prince Ning yesterday afternoon had taken control of the Jinfeng Mansion.

The last will of Prince Ning frightened these old ministers. They thought that the late emperor gave Prince Ning a person in order to seize the throne at the last opportunity.

But unexpectedly, Prince Ning, a seemingly dandy man, actually gained the late emperor's deepest trust, and the emperor gave him the power of the beheading hand, asking him to protect the emperor's safety in the most critical moment.

Therefore, after seeing tens of millions of horses charging into the Seventh Prince’s garrison the night before, the overall situation was almost decided.

Prince Ning left behind a few slashers to protect the emperor's safety, and he personally set out with some slashers at dawn.

They wanted to seize the initiative, capture the Seventh Prince and take over the Golden Phoenix Mansion when he was defeated and fled.

But they were really disappointed. They rushed directly to the Golden Phoenix Mansion and captured a staff member of the Seventh Prince who was in charge of the Golden Phoenix Mansion. They captured the Golden Phoenix Mansion yesterday afternoon.

But I didn't see the Seventh Prince.

And those deserters who actually escaped would not be able to return to the Golden Phoenix Mansion until today, because they had no horses and could only walk.

By the time they arrived at the Golden Phoenix Mansion, Prince Ning had already taken control of the Mansion with his men.

But he didn't know that there was a town called Quincy inside, and some people fled to Quincy.

But the Golden Phoenix Mansion was under his control. Just last night, the news reached the palace.

The emperor knew that the Golden Phoenix Palace had been taken back, and he was happier at the morning court today.

But after this rebellion, many problems have emerged and many things need to be dealt with quickly.

The results discussed with several adults last night were arranged one by one at the court session today.

Today, after a short morning meeting, each department began to arrange the tasks to be done in their department.

The emperor called Nangong Yu to the imperial study again, but this time he was the only one sent away. The others had other things to do.

The emperor frowned slightly and said:

"Jinzhi, I thought about it all night last night, and it seems that we have forgotten some people."

Nangong Yu nodded and said:

"I didn't fall asleep last night. I thought about it and realized that we have forgotten someone, the person who helped the Seventh Prince run the entire Golden Phoenix Palace."

At this point, Nangong Yu paused and said:

"I guess it's someone from the Qin family's old house."

The emperor stretched out his hand, and Nangong Yu also smiled and stretched out his hand to clap:

"I guess it's them."

Because Duke Qin has always given the impression to people in the capital that he doesn't recognize the Qin family members in the old house.

Moreover, every year, the Qin family seemed to have one or two students who passed the exams, but they were all suppressed by Duke Qin.

On the surface, it seems that there is no problem, but now that I think about it, this is a false impression given by Duke Qin to everyone, making people think that he is not in harmony with his family.

Firstly, considering his own reputation of being so successful that it threatened the emperor, this was a stain, and the censors would bring it up from time to time to criticize him.

In this case, the emperor would not mind his achievements. He would let everyone know that Duke Qin was not a perfect person, but a person who was so petty that he could not tolerate anyone in his family.

Secondly, it would protect the people in the Qin family's old house. They would not attract more attention from the court, and they had never competed with Duke Qin, so it seemed that the people in the Qin family's old house were useless.

The more this goes on, the more the Qin family quietly does something big in the Golden Phoenix Mansion. Nangong Yu said:

"We didn't have time to investigate the situation of the Third Master. Qingyi and I went to investigate, but we were discovered by our skills. He has some experts around him."

"We hurried back to report that the iron ore there had been mined, so we didn't know more. Now I guess that the third master is probably from the Qin family."

The emperor nodded and said:

"I told you last night that I wanted you to go over there and sort out the problems there, Jinzhi. This matter is very important and it will probably take a while. And you are the only person I can trust to go over there and keep watch over me."

Nangong Yu clasped his fists and saluted:

"it is good."

Then he said with some relaxation:

"That's perfect. I just don't want to stay in the Marquis' Mansion. I'll take Xi'er with me."

The emperor was stunned for a moment:

"how?"

Nangong Yu smiled and said:

"My father, the Marquis, had another little son last night. Aunt Zhou gave birth."

The emperor sighed.

He grew up with Nangong Yu, so he naturally knew that Nangong Yu had always wanted to have a sister of his own when he was a child.

At that time, it was because he saw Nangong Jiao being spoiled by the Marquis, and Nangong Xuan showed him everywhere that he had a younger sister.

But Nangong Yu doesn't have a younger sister. He wants to have a younger sister, but his father and mother have never been together since he was born.

When he grew up a little, he realized that it was impossible to have a child if his father and mother were not together, and later he learned that his mother was almost murdered while giving birth to him.

He was very dissatisfied with the increase in the number of children in the Marquis's Mansion.

Especially now, after my mother divorced, my father actually had another child.

The emperor reached out and patted Nangong Yu on the shoulder, knowing what was on his mind:

"That's perfect. The Marquis of Changyong was earned by the old marquis. This time you solved the problem of the Seventh Prince's rebellion, which is enough to give you a marquisate. I will tell you before you go to Quincy Town..."

"No, Your Majesty. It was the Immortals in the Forest who solved the problem of the rebel army. We did not contribute much. Therefore, Your Majesty, do not credit this achievement to me. This will make others care about it."

The emperor frowned and said:

"If it weren't for you, how could we get the help of the immortals? It's naturally your credit."

Nangong Yu smiled and said:

"When I entered the palace yesterday, so many people were waiting there, waiting for an explanation. But, Your Majesty, if we tell everyone that there is a fairy in the forest, do you think many people will bother the fairy?"

Not to mention the common people, even the emperor had this idea.

Another reason why he sent Nangong Yu to Quincy Town was that the immortal recognized Nangong Yu. Perhaps, they would have another encounter.

Besides, there are gold and silver mines over there, and only Nangong Yu can make him fully trust to take over the management of them.

"Do you want me to give Chang Yonghou a warning?"

said the emperor.

Nangong Yu smiled and said:

"No need, it's not a big deal, I just don't want to get along with them anymore. Besides, my child is about to be born, but I don't want my child to be born in that kind of environment. If my mother and others want to follow me to Quincy Town, then we will welcome the birth of the baby there."

"The main thing is that our mothers have never traveled far, so we should take them out for a walk."
