Quick travel: repaying a favor or taking revenge, the mission has the final say

Concubine Duan is famous for her talent, and she shines at poetry gatherings. Today, she goes out of the palace in her usual attire, and sees the poetry gathering with her own eyes and heart!

The next year she gave birth to King Jiaye Zihan of Qin, and she never had any children after that. However, she became more and more beautiful and her favor continued to grow!

The only son was crowned king when he was only one month old!

Today, the most important thing is rules, and the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children is clear, but the king is extremely doted on!

The reason for this is not only because Concubine Duan is favored, but also because Prince Qing is well-behaved and smart! Now, under the influence of his maternal family, he has mastered the art of advancement and retreat, and is comparable to the top scholar!

"Brother, what should I do?"

Mu Bao's name was written on Concubine Duan's invitation. He was someone who was not easy to offend, so it was even more troublesome to decide whether to go or not.

The frost on Mu Wensu's face grew even colder. "Prince Qing is twenty years old this year, right?"

Mu Wenyang suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and replied, "Well, when His Majesty was choosing a princess for the Crown Prince, he also wanted to choose a principal wife for Prince Qing. However, Concubine Duan and Prince Qing teamed up to deceive him."

"All the guests invited to this flower-viewing banquet are women of marriageable age. It seems that they are going to choose a concubine for Prince Qing!" Mu Wenchuan frowned and gave his conclusion.

"Isn't this obvious? It's just that the Empress Dowager has previously issued an imperial decree granting my younger sister freedom of marriage. How dare Concubine Duan do that?!" The gloom in Mu Wenyang's eyes almost became reality.

"How about I go and see the Empress Dowager?" Mu Bao suggested.

"Useless little sister! The Queen Mother is first the Queen Mother, then the Emperor's mother, then the Prince's grandmother, and finally the grandmother's best friend!"

Mu Wensu shattered his sister's fantasy.

"Now that Mom is away and we don't have any other relatives or elders, let Zi Han and Liu Feng stay by your side and protect you!" Mu Wensu made the decision immediately, then still reminded her worriedly, "Little sister, remember that one of Zi Han and Liu Feng must be by your side when the time comes. Got it?"

"Yeah, I got it!" Although Mu Bao is simple, he is not stupid. He just doesn't like to use his brain normally.

But she also felt that the atmosphere at home had become inexplicably tense and solemn since she came back from her grandfather's place.

The brothers were not in a very good condition, and whenever she mentioned it, they would change the subject, so she stopped asking and tried not to cause trouble for them.

At her elder brother's signal, Mu Bao left the study. She missed her grandfather! And she intuitively felt that many things were directed at her!

Seeing the little sister's depressed mood, everyone felt uncomfortable.

"Old Four, have you found out what happened?"

"I didn't find anything about my younger sister, but after I turned my investigation towards the Divine Doctor Valley, I discovered that our Divine Doctor Valley is not only a sect of immortality, but also has a legacy! There's even a legend that all other major forces know about, except for those associated with us!"

"What legend?!" The fifth brother is still young after all, and he is the most impatient.

"Rare treasures, from another world, the path to immortality, hidden inheritance, strange phenomena, the appearance of the goddess, the compassionate, will rule the world!

Mu Wensu pondered these twenty-four words over and over in his mind.

But there is no word or character about Divine Doctor Valley and my little sister in it!

The only ones who can be connected are Cibei from the Valley of Divine Doctors, and the little sister and the goddess are all women!

Lao Wu scratched his head and began to talk nonsense. "A rare treasure refers to a kind of treasure, and we don't know what this treasure is. It may be alive or dead, and it may come from another world. This thing is related to the path to immortality. The details are hidden in the inheritance. As long as a strange phenomenon occurs, the goddess will descend to the world. As long as you have compassion in your heart, you can gain the world!"

Mu Wensu: ...

Mu Wenyang:......

Mu Wenchuan, who felt that his analysis was sound and correct, did not notice the constipated expressions on his two brothers' faces.

What the two brothers didn’t know was that their younger brother’s analysis was actually almost correct!

Soon the flower viewing banquet arrived as everyone expected.

Slow trains drove towards the palace. Not everyone could appreciate the various precious flowers in the imperial garden, but this time, Concubine Duan’s flower-viewing banquet was held in the imperial garden!

What an honor!!

If the crown prince had not been appointed long ago, and not only did his mother's family have great influence, but he himself was also benevolent and knowledgeable, everyone would have thought that the person above would appoint Prince Qing as the crown prince!

Although the sun is shining today, the weather is a little chilly. Various flowers are blooming in the imperial garden, and the girls walking together among the flowers all want to outshine the others and catch the eye of the noble!

Mu Bao stayed away from the crowd and rested in a small pavilion in a remote corner. Zi Han and Liu Feng served him while keeping a watchful eye on him.

"Hey, why are you here alone?" A golden-adorned humanoid figure came in from the corner gate. Seeing a young lady from an unknown family sitting in the small pavilion, it kindly reminded, "You won't attract the attention of my brother and Concubine Duan here!"

"Thank you, Your Highness. I just prefer quietness, and the location here is also very good. I can see most of the imperial garden!" Mu Bao replied after saluting.

After a maid said something in the princess's ear, the princess looked at Mu Bao carefully again and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad! He is very insightful!" Then she led the servants to the center of the imperial garden.

As the lights were about to come on, palace servants filed in and quickly decorated the imperial garden. Lanterns were lit one after another and rows of dining tables were set out.

The noble ladies were led in one by one by the palace servants and were seated. Mu Bao was assigned to the outermost seat in the second row. This position was both safe and dangerous, which made Liu Feng tense up. She would be ready to strike as soon as someone passed by, for fear that someone would fall, splash or spill something!

But nothing happened until the end of the party!

Led by the palace servants, everyone filed out and walked out of the imperial garden, talking and laughing.

There was no accident, but an accident happened!

On the Nine-Curve Bridge, I don’t know who stepped on whom, who pushed whom, and who fell into the water and pulled the people around him!

Anyway, the Nine-Turn Bridge became inexplicably chaotic!

Zi Han and Liu Feng tried their best to protect their master, but it is always easier to succeed in chaos!

Mo Bao was directly pulled into the lake.

A murderous look appeared on Zi Han's face, which had hardly changed over the years. She chopped the maid who tried to stop her unconscious and jumped into the lake.

When Mo Bao was dragged into the lake, he rubbed his earrings with his hands and prayed in his heart that his ancestors would appear!

Then she really witnessed the apparition of her ancestor!

After entering the lake, she thought she would be drowned, but not a drop of water came close to her and she could breathe freely. After paddling a little, she found herself swimming flexibly like a mermaid!

Gu Tian was speechless as he watched the fool swimming in various postures in the water several times!

"Okay, get on up! One of your maids has been looking for you in the water twice!"

"Ancestor!!" Mu Bao was delighted to see the ancestor appear beside him.

"Well, I'll bring your maid over here, can you pretend for a while?!"

"Yes, yes, yes!!"

Gu Tian hooked his finger, and Zi Han felt his body moving in one direction uncontrollably.

Then she saw the lady who couldn't swim smiling and waving at her happily in the water!

Zihan: ...

She felt so anxious and lonely!

Zi Han took his master upstream, and after emerging, he gave a signal to Liu Feng on the shore, then handed his master to Liu Feng who had already arrived, and climbed ashore himself.

Liu Feng took off her coat and put it on her master, then took her arm and walked out away from the crowd.

"My lady, the dew is heavy in autumn. You'd better change your wet clothes and wash up before returning home!" The person who stopped her was very tough!

Liu Feng looked at the other women in the mansion who were also forcibly stopped and agreed reluctantly.

"Zi Han, you protect the young lady. I'll go get her some clothes!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that the two girls acted cautiously, Gu Tian nodded in approval with great satisfaction.

Mu Bao also discovered that he was the only one who could see his ancestor!

He looked at the ancestor with bright eyes.

"Don't keep looking at me! Otherwise you'll be thought of as a fool!" Gu Tian chuckled.

Mu Bao looked away with great difficulty. Hey! Who said the ancestor is too beautiful?

"Master, what are you looking at?" Zi Han saw his master first looking at a place with sparkling eyes, then taking another look secretly, and then taking another look secretly.

"Hey, I didn't see anything, hurry up and catch up!"

Soon, Mo Bao was led to a side room and the door was opened: "Miss, please! I'll be waiting outside. Just tell me if you have anything!"

As he said that, he stood at the door of the compartment and automatically guarded the door for Mu Bao.

Zi Han helped Mu Bao into the room and closed the door. He then quickly checked everywhere to see if there was anything wrong and even opened the windows for ventilation!

"Don't let your little girl work in vain!" Gu Tian saw that the little girl was about to crawl under the bed.

"Zi Han, there's no need to check anymore, come and sit down and take a rest!"

"I'm not tired!" Zi Han still crawled under the bed.

"Pfft—, tell your girl that there won't be any problem as long as she doesn't use the handkerchief on the shelf!"

Turning around, she saw her silly girl struggling to crawl out from under the bed, with water stains on the floor clearly visible.

"Zi Han, come here!" Mu Bao said in a firm tone.

Knowing that she had not listened to her master before and made him angry, she quickly walked to her master obediently.

"Everywhere else is safe, but there's something wrong with the handkerchief on the shelf behind the screen! Now just sit back and wait for Liu Feng to come!"

"Yes! Master, are you cold?! How about I get the quilt on the bed and cover you with it!" She had martial arts skills, so she didn't feel that cold, but the young lady was weak, so she had to be careful!

"nothing!"

But no matter how long he waited, Liu Feng never showed up. Mu Bao, who was not very cold originally, felt a little cold.

"Zi Han, go to the door and ask why Liu Feng hasn't arrived yet!"

"Yes!"

When Zi Han opened the door, he found that the maid who was guarding the door was gone, and there was no one around!

"Miss, there's no one outside!"

"Then go look for him." Now that the ancestor is here, Mu Bao feels that she can even punch the emperor and kick the prince!

"Miss, it's too dangerous here!! Please let me stay!" Zi Han knelt down and begged.

Mu Bao couldn't tell Zi Han that she was invincible because of her ancestors' protection. She could only express it in a tactful way: "I have someone protecting me in secret. Go find Liu Feng and come back quickly!"

“...Yes!” Zi Han agreed helplessly, turned around and left quickly.

Seeing people leave, Mu Bao immediately became a little fangirl: "Grandpa, you won't leave this time you come, right?!"

"This is a wisp of my soul. It won't be too late to come back after I come out in a few days!" Gu Tian leaned on the table, supporting his head with one hand and bending the other hand to move left and right as his gaze examined his fingernails.

"But you are really pitiful!" Gu Tian exclaimed in amazement after taking a look outside.

No wonder Mu Bao fell so quickly in his previous life! The Queen Mother must have put a lot of effort into his back!

Who could have imagined that the former imperial preceptor was actually the queen mother's lover?

What handkerchief friendship! What life-saving grace! What imperial power and wealth! None of them are as important as her love! !

Ouch, this old house is on fire, and no one cares! !

"Hey, let's go, let's leave the palace!" Gu Tian snapped his fingers, and then the clothes that were wet in order to get away with it dried up instantly.

"Oh, good!"

As soon as Mu Bao stood up, he saw that his ancestor had turned into Aunt Zhong.

"Ancestor?"

"Well, let's go!" Gu Tian walked beside Mu Bao, leading the way with a kind smile.

When Gu Tian brought Mu Bao out of the courtyard, he saw Liu Feng and Zi Han being blocked not far away.

"What's going on?!" Aunt Zhong scolded with a stern face.

Everyone turned around and saw that it was Nanny Zhong who was serving the Empress Dowager, and they all bowed.

"Alright, everyone, please leave! Take Miss Mu back with you and serve her well!"

"Yes!" After everyone saluted, those who needed to step aside stepped aside, those who needed to make way made way, and Liu Feng and Zi Han excitedly stepped forward to support their master.

"Miss Mu, please!" 'Madame Zhong' led Mu Bao and her servant out of the palace gate. She watched Mu Bao get on the carriage and disappear out of the palace gate, then turned around and returned to the palace, and then disappeared at a corner.

As soon as the carriage stopped at General Shenhou, the gatekeeper hurriedly opened the main gate, removed the threshold, and let the carriage enter the mansion directly.

The three brothers of the Mu family were standing in the courtyard. When they saw their little sister leaning out of the carriage, they hurried forward to support her.

Mu Bao followed his brother's strength and jumped off the carriage.

"Brother, today is so exciting! Come on, let's talk!!"

She wanted to tell her brothers that they had an ancestor who would be arriving soon!

Then the three brothers fell silent after hearing their little sister’s exaggerated description!

They really wanted to believe their little sister, but their reason made them realize that this was just a fairy tale!

Although many legends have been passed down, they are just legends!

Without seeing it with your own eyes, no matter how miraculous others say it is, it is all empty talk! So when my younger sister said that the ancestors would come, they were all looking forward to it.

The day passed without any danger. The Mu brothers and sisters tossed and turned in bed because they were all looking forward to the arrival of the ancestor, while Concubine Duan, Prince Qing, the Queen Mother and Duan Baisong behind the scenes tossed and turned in bed because the plan failed!

The Empress Dowager's right-hand man, Nanny Zhong, was beaten to death.

The emperor was working overtime in the imperial study as usual. A young eunuch came in quietly from outside the door, whispered something to Eunuch Qi, and then quietly left. Eunuch Qi walked to the dragon table with an expressionless face to serve him with writing materials.

"Xiao Qizi, what big drama is going on in the harem?"

"Your Majesty, Madam Zhong was beaten to death."

The emperor paused and a drop of cinnabar fell on the memorial.

Putting down the red brush in his hand, the emperor leaned back on the dragon couch, his right hand unconsciously turning the jade ring on his left hand.
