After Xulin bid farewell to his elders one by one, he followed Doctor Yan on horseback and hurried back to Kyoto. Even though they rode non-stop, it was already night when they entered the city.

Doctor Yan had no choice but to take him back to Prince Ling's Mansion first.

On the way, I also met A Shu who was rushing back from Huaiyang Prefecture.

Seeing that he was with a young man, he was puzzled, "Doctor Yan, who is this?"

Doctor Yan introduced him openly, "This is my disciple Xulin, brought to Kyoto to see the world."

Ah Shu laughed, "Doctor Yan, are you kidding me? Your disciples of Xiaoyao Sect are well-known in the martial arts world. Do you really need to come to Kyoto to show them to the public?"

Doctor Yan glared at him and said, "Go inside! You talk too much!"

After meeting Ah Shu, Prince Ling asked Doctor Yan to bring Xu Lin into the study.

Doctor Yan explained the whole process in a concise and comprehensive manner, and the twists and turns made Prince Ling feel very sad after listening to it.

If Jin Qiu knew that the child she had been thinking about for so many years was still alive, she would be so happy.

"Ah Shang, go ask Madam Jinqiu to come over."

Doctor Yan was puzzled, who is Jinqiu?

Prince Ling said nothing, just waiting for someone to come.

Soon, Ah Shang came in, followed by a reserved woman, "I pay my respects to His Majesty..."

"My lady, you don't have to be polite. Look at the young man next to you."

When Jinqiu looked up, the young man's face seemed to overlap with another gentle and kind face in her memory...

She was so excited that she forgot her manners. She grabbed the young man's left hand and took a closer look. Her eyes were immediately blurred by tears. "It is this birthmark! God has eyes! Young Master! You are still alive! I finally have the face to see the Madam!"

Prince Ling and Doctor Yan explained, "Madam Jinqiu was brought back from Qinglong Village when I went to Minglong Mountain to suppress bandits. She was originally a maid in the Fuguo Mansion and had been favored by Madam Mu. We also learned from Madam Jinqiu that Madam Mu was assassinated during childbirth... She risked her life to bring the eldest son out of the Duke's Mansion, but was eventually discovered by the people who were chasing her. She had no choice but to hide the newborn eldest son in a dilapidated temple and lead the pursuers away..."

Xu Lin knelt down, "Thank you for saving my life..."

Jin Qiu was so scared that she hurriedly pulled him up, "Young Master, you are embarrassing me! Get up quickly! My life was given by Madam. I was incompetent and failed to save Madam from those evil people. I will feel sorry for Madam for the rest of my life... Fortunately, God has a good heart and the Young Master is still alive. Madam can rest in peace in her grave..."

Xulin didn't know that his mother was actually murdered by someone.

Although I have never had the chance to meet her, I have my mother's blood in my body after all, and this blood relationship can never be severed.

Jinqiu retreated with great excitement.

"I will immediately send someone to send a letter to Miss Mu, asking her to come over to the mansion tomorrow for a chat."

There really is God's will in everything.

Xulin also wanted to see his sister whom he had never met.

He originally thought that he was an orphan, abandoned since childhood, and was fortunately picked up by his master and brought up in Xiaoyao Sect with great care, which was already the blessing of his life.

Unexpectedly, Chi Lingguan and his group accidentally found their way back and learned the twists and turns of their life stories.

Ah Shang was originally the one who was supposed to deliver the message, but he was afraid that Miss Mu would really stick a silver needle into the wall, so, with a quick thought, he wanted to push the task to Ah Shu. He thought Ah Shu would refuse, and he even thought of an excuse.

Unexpectedly, he agreed before I had a chance to show my opinion.

That’s great, it saves him the trouble of talking!

A Shu didn't think about anything and ran all the way to the Duke's Mansion.

But when they reached the alley, separated only by a wall, he actually started to get nervous.

After a long period of mental preparation, just as she was about to jump onto the wall, she heard Yuzhan's voice coming from the other side of the wall, "Miss, there's a letter from Miss Qin at the gatehouse."

Mu Qingyan took the letter and unfolded it. The letter said that on the day of Mr. Qin’s birthday, he wanted to invite her to his house for a chat.

Thinking of that dream, Mu Qingyan sighed softly, "Since it's the old man's birthday party, we can't go empty-handed. We have to buy a gift. Tomorrow you will go out with me, and we will see what to give to Mr. Qin..."

"Hmm..." Yuzhi just responded, and she felt a strange feeling lingering in her heart, like the feeling of an animal finding that its territory was invaded.

She glanced at the courtyard wall and shouted, "Who's sneaking around outside? Come out!"

Mu Qingyan pursed her lips and smiled. That’s good. Yuzhan is a very vigilant girl!

I actually found someone standing outside the wall.

"Come out, there are no silver needles stuck on the wall."

When Ah Shu heard this, he finally understood why Ah Shang wanted to give him this job! It turned out that he was afraid of being at a disadvantage!

snort!

He jumped onto the top of the wall, and in a few steps he landed in front of Mu Qingyan, bowed and saluted, "Hello, young lady."

"You're back in Beijing? It seems like everything is going well in Huaiyang Prefecture?"

"Yes, Lord Yuan and Master Yuan have not been threatened and are safe now. They will also report to the capital soon."

Mu Qingyan nodded, "Tell me, what does your prince want you to tell me?"

"The prince said that he would like the young lady to come to his house for a chat tomorrow."

"Dr. Yan has returned to Beijing?"

"Yes."

"I know, you can go back."

"My subordinates resign..."

Before leaving, A Shu glanced at Yu Zan, quickly stuffed something into her hand, and ran away without a trace.

Yuzhan stared blankly at the dagger lying in her palm, "Girl, what does he mean by this? Let me end my life by myself?"

Mu Qingyan laughed so hard that she almost choked, and she coughed for a long time before she recovered.

"How did you develop this brain circuit?"

Ah Shu, who had just stood firm outside the wall, almost fell on his butt when he heard this.

He touched his waist, felt the wooden hairpin, and was stunned.

The hairpin was still there, so what was it that he had just given away? A dagger?

Ah Shu held his forehead with his hand, you can even make a mistake when giving a gift! You are so stupid!

He wanted to go back and exchange the dagger, but he didn't have the nerve to do so, so he had to sigh and return to the palace in shame.

As soon as he entered the room, he was stopped by Ah Shang, who grabbed him, shook him left and right, and looked him over, and finally came to a conclusion that made him a little disappointed, "You are not injured?"

Ah Shu glared at him and said, "Let go and turn around!"

Ah Shu was the chief instructor of the secret guards, so he still had some authority. When he gave such a serious order, Ah Shang naturally dared not disobey.

But as soon as he turned around, he got kicked in the butt.

He lost his balance and rushed out, almost bumping his head against a tree trunk. "You—you are crazy!"

Ah Shu snorted, "During the time I was away from the palace, you have been so idle! How dare you tease me! Go to the training ground tonight and do horse stance, and you are not allowed to sleep!"

Ah Shang's face wrinkled into a bitter gourd, "Can we discuss it..."

"Add twenty more military sticks!"
