The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

"Has the prince returned?"

Anxiang ran to the gate of the mansion again to ask.

The guard at the gate did not dare to be negligent, even though Miss Anxiang had come to ask five or six times.

But he still answered respectfully with a bow.

"Not yet."

Anxiang paced back and forth outside the mansion in disappointment.

I don’t know what’s wrong with the young lady today. She has been restless since she heard that the prince went to Baiyun Taoist Temple.

She kept asking her to inquire whether the prince had returned, which made Wang Ma worried that the princess might be unwell.

She also wanted to ask Imperial Physician Zhang to take her pulse, but the princess refused.

The princess's restlessness also made Anxiang and Dingdang feel uneasy.

I thought the princess had some bad premonition.

Anxiang really believes in premonitions.

When her sister got into trouble, she was so anxious and confused.

At this time, a carriage from the palace stopped by the roadside.

Anxiang knew at first glance that it was not the prince's carriage.

Sheng Er and the others have returned with gifts.

She took a few steps and reached Sheng Er's horse, frightening Sheng Er so much that he quickly pulled the reins.

"Miss Anxiang, why are you in such a hurry?"

Anxiang reached out and held his leg, looking up and speaking.

"Sheng Er, don't get off your horse. Take the guards to the Baiyun Taoist Temple outside the city to protect the prince and bring him back."

Sheng Er's legs were held down by her, and his face suddenly turned red to his neck.

"Don't worry, Miss Anxiang. The prince is always accompanied by a guard when he goes out! Don't worry."

"It's not that I'm anxious, it's the princess who's worried about the prince."

Anxiang urged, patting Sheng Er's legs a few more times.

Sheng Er......

So what are you waiting for? Are you waiting for her to take a picture of you and expose your true colors?

He immediately turned his horse around and ran out of the city with his followers.

Chief Steward Yao came out of the mansion holding a small teapot in his hand and directed several guards at the gate.

"Why are you still standing there? Go open the side door and ask the coachman to drive the carriage into the mansion."

The gatekeeper took the order and left.

Manager Yao took a sip of the tea in the small teapot, looked at the sky and then at the faint fragrance.

"Why, the sun rises from the west today?"

Anxiang gave Manager Yao a cold look.

"Butler Yao, please be careful and don't choke. The princess is anxious, so how can I not be anxious too?"

Manager Yao chuckled.

"Look how anxious you are, my Lord. God will protect you, and nothing will happen to you."

Here, Sheng Er led his men to rush to Baiyun Taoist Temple at full speed.

On the other side, Chu Musheng was also riding back in a carriage.

Sheng Er and his companions met the prince's carriage at the city gate.

Sheng Er quickly dismounted and saluted.

Chu Musheng panicked when he saw them coming in a hurry.

"Sheng Er, why are you here? Is there something wrong in the mansion?"

Sheng Er answered truthfully.

"Your Majesty, the princess is worried about your safety and has asked me to bring someone to protect you back to the palace."

Chu Musheng felt warm in his heart after hearing this. His beloved concubine was indeed considerate.

It's only been half a day since we last met, and you're already missing me.

"Go home."

Chu Musheng quickly gave the order.

......

When Chu Musheng returned to Prince Sheng's Mansion, he saw Xu Keke already waiting outside the gate, looking anxious.

The two looked at each other, and they always felt that they were a little different today than before.

Xu Ke feels guilty!

I wonder what Master Yunxiao from Baiyun Taoist Temple said to Chu Musheng?

Have you ever betrayed yourself?

Chu Musheng was grateful.

The person before him is not only the one he deeply loves, but also the noble lady who has come to change his fate.

He walked up to her and hugged Xu Keke, ignoring the people around him, and kissed her on the forehead.

"My beloved, the king is back."

"Ah."

Xu Ke lowered his eyes and bowed.

"Your Highness, Xuan'er said he missed his father."

Chu Musheng laughed, took Xu Ke's hand and walked towards the mansion.

"Okay, let's go see Xuan'er now."

Just like that, the little prince was picked up from the cradle by his mother while he was sleeping soundly.

Blinking his confused eyes, his little face was kissed by his father.

"Xuan'er, don't sleep anymore. Your father will take you for a ride."

Chu Musheng carried the young master and walked out.

License can...

He patted his chest and gave himself a reassurance.

Fortunately, the prince doesn't seem to know his secret identity.

I can still continue to enjoy this rich and glorious life.

Gradually, Xu Keke noticed that there was something different about Chu Musheng.

Besides being more doting on her... to be more precise, he was demanding more from her...

In addition, Chu Musheng began to take the young master to various places.

The little prince is only over one year old!

When Chu Mucheng and Sheng Wu were practicing martial arts, they also asked Manager Yao to hold the child and watch from the side.

When he entered the palace to review memorials, he asked Sheng Wu to hold the young master and sit next to him, and read memorials to him from time to time.

This left both Dingdang and Anxiang idle.

The two of them came up to Xu Ke and said.

"Miss, the prince can't do this. He has so many government affairs to attend to, and he has to take care of the young master too. How can he take care of both?"

After Anxiang finished speaking, Dingdang came on stage.

"That's right. The little master is only a little over a year old and is still babbling. Isn't the prince being too hasty?"

Xu Keke also felt that Chu Musheng was a little crazy.

As I said, the prince holds great power.

Not to mention Prince Sheng’s Mansion, he has the final say in the entire court.

I'm afraid the only one who can control him is the Empress Dowager in the palace.

The fact that Chu Musheng brought the young prince into the palace every day was naturally soon discovered by the Empress Dowager.

I wanted to scold my son, but when I saw my adorable grandson, I shut up.

At least this way, she will have more opportunities to see her lovely grandchildren.

But Chu Musheng would not take the young master to all places.

For example, the secret guard camp in the deep palace.

That day, after Chu Musheng finished reviewing the memorials in the imperial study, he took his son in his arms and read them to him.

At this time, Grandpa Otomo walked in.

"Your Highness, Eunuch Pan has sent someone to invite you over. He said that there is some progress on the matter you requested."

Chu Musheng felt somewhat excited when he heard this.

Could it be that besides the princess, there really are otherworldly souls in this world?

He suppressed his emotions and handed his son to Sheng Wu.

"Take the young prince and go to Changxin Palace to play with the Grand Empress Dowager for a while. I will come over after I am done with my work."

Sheng Wu hurried forward to take the young master.

The young master has become familiar with Sheng Wu these days.

The little baby voice called out "Fifth Uncle."

In front of the young master, Sheng Wu had completely forgotten his aloof demeanor.

She happily carried the little prince to Changxin Palace.

Chu Musheng went to the Dark Guard Camp alone. He didn't want too many people to know about his investigation into the souls from another world.

Of course, this does not include his secret guards.

An Yi is the leader of Chu Mucheng's secret guards.

Whether in the capital or on the battlefield in the north, she never left the prince's side.

That year on the battlefield, if An Yi had not helped the prince to take the damage many times, Chu Musheng might not have been able to come back safely.

Chu Musheng came to the Dark Guard Camp.

It is quiet here, with a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.

The barracks were scattered in an orderly manner, with secret sentries hidden in the shadows around them.

As soon as Chu Musheng stepped in, a secret guard quickly appeared and knelt on one knee to salute.

"Your Highness, Chief Steward Pan is in the dungeon. Please go over and see the prisoner."
