Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me

Since he said so, what else could Xue Xingqi say but agreed directly, but he still kept looking at Mu Qingli with suspicion.

It was Mu Qingli who reminded him, "You guys find a place to rest. We will go down the mountain on our own tomorrow morning. If we disappear without a reason, the people in the temple will be suspicious."

Ji Zhen looked at her deeply, nodded in agreement, opened the door and left.

Xue Xingqi was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to act recklessly in front of this person and just followed him quietly and left.

After they had left for a long distance, he softly asked, "Little foster father, are you really going to take that child as your disciple? She's the daughter of a general's family. Wouldn't it be bad if we were to become involved with the imperial court?"

After all, they are from the underworld, and the underworld and the court are two different things. It will always be troublesome if they are involved together.

Ji Zhen knew what he was worried about and narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"It's okay, anyone who dares to attack the Ferry Pavilion will die!"

.....

(Grand Tutor's Mansion)

As soon as dinner was over in the evening, Old Master Gu called his precious grandson to his study and cautiously had someone guarding near the study before he turned around to look at his grandson.

"You seem to be worried all day long? Are you worried about that kid Ali?"

Gu Luoheng didn't expect that his grandfather would discover his thoughts, and he thought he had hidden it well.

He was silent for a moment before he asked his grandfather, "Grandfather, will His Majesty take action against the Mu family?"

He had been thinking about this problem since he came back from the General's Mansion. Given Ali's personality, she had to pretend to be sick to temporarily avoid the attention of people in Beijing. That meant she must have encountered some danger. He couldn't think of anything else except the General's Mansion that could make her take so much trouble to arrange it.

Not expecting his grandson to suddenly ask such a question, Old Master Gu's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously tightened his beard until he felt a slight pain and came back to his senses.

Then he reached out and pulled the man closer and looked at him seriously, somewhat puzzled.

"Why would Ah Heng suddenly ask this? Did you discover something?"

Gu Luoheng shook his head slightly, lowered his eyes to hide the complicated thoughts in his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"Grandfather, His Majesty has indeed shown great favor to the Mu family, but the more favor he shows, the more uneasy I feel. You should understand that excessive spending is not always a good thing."

Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, he saw his grandfather staring at him with a relieved smile on his face and nodded with satisfaction.

"The Gu family's descendants have been mediocre over the years and haven't achieved much, but with you, Ah Heng, we won't have to worry for at least a few decades. Grandfather is truly relieved."

With such a sharp intuition, coupled with the teachings he has given to his grandson over the years, he can rest in peace even if he dies now.

His grandfather didn't often praise him, and such serious praise was even rarer. Gu Luoheng felt a little embarrassed and looked away without saying anything.

Old Master Gu was not surprised either. He sat on the pear blossom chair and sighed softly.

"This is also what I've been worried about for the past few years. Mu Yuan has a very upright character. If he stays at the border, it's fine. But if he returns to the capital after the war subsides, I'm afraid he will become a thorn in Your Majesty's side over time."

This was exactly the problem he had been worried about over the years, and he had hinted it to Mu Yuan in some ways, but unfortunately Mu Yuan always remembered the friendship and support he had shown him since they were young, and he had never taken it seriously.

Unfortunately, the two families have a close relationship and are engaged as children, so he can only help in secret.

So could Zi'an's nightmare actually become reality? No wonder Ali was so frightened, preferring to feign illness rather than risk the crime of deceiving the emperor in order to temporarily leave Jinghua. How terrified must she be to have such a recurring nightmare, considering how much she values ​​her family?

Gu Luoheng's face became increasingly cold, and his fingers in his sleeves couldn't help but curl slightly. A shocking thought suddenly flashed through his mind, but he quickly suppressed it.

Seeing him like this, Old Master Gu knew that he was feeling uncomfortable and couldn't help but give him some advice.

"Don't worry too much. This war will take at least a few years to end. Even if His Majesty wanted to take action against the General's Mansion, he wouldn't be so quick. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so angry about Ah Li's matter."

Gu Luoheng nodded lightly and bowed to his grandfather with a serious expression.

"Grandson understands. I won't do nothing when it comes to Ahri. From now on, I will study the things Grandfather teaches me more diligently and practice martial arts. Please, Grandfather, hand over the Gu Family Army to me as soon as possible."

The Gu family has one or two hundred private soldiers under their name. Ostensibly, they are there to protect Old Tutor Gu. This has also been approved by the emperor, but now he wants to make better arrangements for these people.

To his surprise, his grandfather agreed very readily. He took the crutch at the side, knocked on the piece of wood that supported his arm, and then opened it to reveal a black token.

The old man took out the token and restored his crutch to its original state before handing the things to his most beloved grandson with a smile.

Even Gu Luoheng didn't expect that his grandfather would actually hand the thing to him as soon as he mentioned it. He looked up in surprise and called out "Grandfather".

Who knew that Old Master Gu would narrow his eyes when he looked at him, stroke his white beard on his chin and speak meaningfully.

"Ah Heng, Grandpa is already very old, and there is very little I can do to help you. The future will ultimately depend on you children. Grandpa is also looking forward to what kind of path you will take."

Gu Luoheng had already taken the things. He listened to his words in silence for a while, then bowed seriously to the old man with a firm voice.

"Don't worry, Grandfather. I know what I'm doing. No matter what I do in the future, it won't harm the Gu family."

(Princess's Mansion)

There was a huge uproar in the mansion today. A flower-viewing banquet being disrupted was not a big deal, but it was rare that everyone from the master, the mistress to the young ladies were punished. If it were not for the fact that the eldest princess still had a say in the empress dowager, everyone in the mansion would have been in danger.

The servants had all been driven out of the yard, and only the eldest princess and her family were left in the main hall. There was no one around, and the sound of things breaking and crashing continued in the room until all the porcelain in the room was broken.

What followed was a sobbing sound, accompanied by Hui'an's somewhat shrill cries.

"Mother, why isn't Uncle Emperor on our side this time? We are clearly his relatives, yet he doesn't even care that you've slapped us in the face! There must be a lot of people in the capital laughing at me right now. I've even lost my title of Princess!"

The most hateful thing is that she lost her title, but Mu Qingli actually got one. It was obvious that he was trying to steal her title!

The eldest princess's expression was also extremely ugly. After all, she had not expected that the emperor would be so disrespectful to her this time. The anger in her heart was no less than that of her daughter.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help it and slammed the table and stood up.

"No, I have to go to the palace to find my mother and ask her to make the decision for me! Isn't it just a little girl who got into trouble? Brother, this is really embarrassing me!"

Who knew that someone next to me would slam the table and stand up.

"no!"
