The steward of the palace of rebirth

Chapter 140 The Calm Before the Storm

The undercurrents in the capital became more and more urgent, but the Mausoleum Palace began to worry about the engagement between Mu Changfeng and Gu Zhengqing, completely free from outside influences.

Gu Zhengqing and Mu Changfeng were dragged by Su Yao to do many things, and when they were put back, they felt more tired than after a day of busy work outside.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll tell my mother tomorrow to stop pestering you all day." Mu Changfeng said softly.

Gu Zhengqing smiled: "Although I'm tired, but... I'm very happy, so it's okay."

Mu Changfeng turned over and lay down on top of him, looking at him with burning eyes, "I always thought you were not very happy with us doing this."

"How come?" Gu Zhengqing was surprised that Mu Changfeng would say this, and said eagerly, "I'm not unhappy."

"Now I know." Mu Changfeng said.

Gu Zhengqing put his arms around Mu Changfeng's back, and said apologetically, "Did my previous attitude misunderstand you? I'm sorry, I'm just very embarrassed to openly tell everyone about our relationship, and I'm also a little scared..."

Gu Zhengqing tightly circled Mu Changfeng with both hands.

"What are you afraid of?" Mu Changfeng asked him, asking him to tell.

"I'm afraid I'm not good enough for you." Gu Zhengqing whispered.

Mu Changfeng's eyes changed, and he stared deeply at him: "We are equal. If you have to say that I am also humble when facing you, do you think I am not worthy of you?"

"No, how can you be humble, you can't talk about yourself like that, it makes me so uncomfortable." Gu Zhengqing said anxiously.

Mu Changfeng looked at him deeply.Gu Zhengqing looked into Mu Changfeng's eyes, and quickly realized, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake just now, I shouldn't say that I'm afraid I'm not good enough for you."

Mu Changfeng bent down and hugged him, pressing Gu Zhengqing's face against his chest.The pounding heartbeat rang in Gu Zhengqing's ears, being surrounded by Mu Changfeng so tightly made him feel a little hot, and his cheeks were hot.

"Although we didn't get married directly, I have been happy every day since the day I decided to get engaged," Mu Changfeng said.

Gu Zhengqing hummed softly, and rubbed his cheek against Mu Changfeng's chest, "I'm happy too."

"When the matter in the capital is over, we'll go on a long trip together. We didn't get to see this great river and mountain together before, so we'll go and see it together in the future." Mu Changfeng said.

"Okay." Gu Zhengqing replied.

Mu Changfeng hugged him and turned over to lie on his side, still tightly encircling Gu Zhengqing, stretched out his hand to grab his hips, and moved him a little higher to meet his gaze.Gu Zhengqing's cheeks were hot again.Before he could think about it, Mu Changfeng had already swallowed his mouth, pried his lips open, and caught the tip of his tongue.

"You don't need to get up early tomorrow." Mu Changfeng said.

Gu Zhengqing's eyes were covered with mist, and the tips of his ears were also red.

The next morning, as soon as Gu Zhengqing opened his eyes, Mu Changfeng also woke up.

It was already past the usual breakfast time outside, but it was quiet and no one came to disturb. Everyone in the main courtyard was a genius.

After tossing until late last night, Gu Zhengqing was still a little tired after sleeping.

"Don't get up first." Mu Changfeng said, reaching out to massage him.

After a while, Gu Zhengqing felt refreshed and wanted to hum, and hurriedly buried himself in the mattress, but the massage hand on his back was doing something wrong, Gu Zhengqing couldn't help shouting: "Mmm..."

In the next moment, Mu Changfeng chuckled softly, "Don't hold back, I want to hear these voices."

Gu Zhengqing bit his lip, "It's not good to be heard in broad daylight."

Mu Changfeng smiled, withdrew his hand, picked him up from the quilt, found Gu Zhengqing's bright red lips and opened his mouth, held it, pried it open, and teased him in one go.Now, Gu Zhengqing thought it was okay to not make a sound, but it made him even more shy.

After a long time, Gu Zhengqing was released panting, and Mu Changfeng looked at him with burning eyes.

Gu Zhengqing was almost overwhelmed by his gaze, "It's time for us to get up."

I haven't woken up at this time. If Su Yao ordered someone to come to him and ran into this incident, wouldn't it be a shame.

Gu Zhengqing quickly crawled out of Mu Changfeng's arms, slipped out of bed and put on his clothes, his cheeks flushed.Mu Changfeng also got up afterward, hugged Gu Zhengqing from behind, held his hands and rubbed his hands together before he agreed to get dressed.

After the two were fully dressed and washed briefly, Li Rong brought breakfast.

"Li Rong, we have to go out in a while, if my mother orders someone to look for her again, tell her that we will look for her when we come back." Mu Changfeng said.

"Yes." Li Rong agreed.

"Where are we going?" Gu Zhengqing asked.

"Go to Prince Cheng's Mansion in a while." Mu Changfeng said.

"Okay." Gu Zhengqing said.

In ten days' time it will be Mu Qianfan's wedding.Wei Xiao has reached a 'consensus' with Mu Zixu to act on the night of the wedding.This means that ten days later, the storm will come.

"Everything is ready, there will be no accidents." Mu Changfeng saw what he was thinking and said.

Gu Zhengqing nodded.As the planned day approached, he was inevitably nervous, and since yesterday he had been a little restless, always feeling uneasy.

"Don't you know how Mu Qianfan will deal with our Mausoleum Palace?" Gu Zhengqing asked after thinking about it.

"No special action." Mu Changfeng replied.

"Where is Guard Shen?" Gu Zhengqing asked.Because Shen Qianxing was once caught in the trap, now he has become the target of key supervision.

"Master Sinan keeps an eye on his condition. He also wears a medicine bag, so he's fine," Mu Changfeng said.

That's all right, good luck.Gu Zhengqing suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, maybe he was too nervous.

"My lord, bring more people with you when you go out recently, so that the west wind guards and the east guards will follow you." Gu Zhengqing said.

"Okay," Mu Changfeng nodded, and said, "Although Yannan brought the hidden guards to protect you when you left my sight, try not to go out of the house during this time."

Gu Zhengqing also nodded.He is not worried about himself, he is worried about Mu Changfeng.He will not be Mu Qianfan's target, but Mu Changfeng is.But the strange thing is that Mu Qianfan hasn't done anything special until now, and he doesn't know what he planned.No matter what, he will try his best not to leave Mu Changfeng, and he can only rest assured if he looks at Mu Changfeng at all times.

After the meal, Gu Zhengqing and Mu Changfeng quietly left Prince Ling's Mansion and entered Prince Cheng's Mansion, and King Ming Mu Zixu also arrived.

"This is the list." After sitting down, Mu Zixu took out a note and handed it to Mu Changfeng.

"There are quite a few people." Mu Changfeng took the list and said after reading it with Gu Zhengqing.

"That's right, after this incident, the imperial court will replace many people." Mu Zixu said.

Those on the list are all officials who actively contacted Wei Xiao and others and were willing to 'rebel' with King Cheng of Ming Dynasty. Except for a few who were insiders, the rest were sincere rebels who were moved by interests, money, and status.Mu Lingtian had already read this list first, so one could completely guess what the reaction would be.

"Also, Wei Xiao said he could help me deal with the guards at the palace gate, and he has already bribed the captain of the guard who was on duty that night." Mu Zixu said.

"Have you found out who it is?" Mu Changfeng asked.

"Leave this matter to the emperor to investigate. I am being stared at now, too much action will cause suspicion." Mu Zixu said.

"It's really convenient for the emperor to investigate, and the matter of the palace guards is more sensitive, no matter what the reason is, it's not appropriate to intervene in the investigation." Mu Chengyun said.

"Brother Wang is right, then we don't have to deal with this matter." Mu Changfeng said.

"The defense battalion in the west of the city is going to rush into the city. It has to avoid the guards patrolling the city along the way, and cooperate with our soldiers. Finally, it has to break through the guards of the palace wall and enter the palace. It is not easy to get through the joints of this road, Mu. Qian Fan worked hard for this plan, he really worked hard. How confident is he that he won't be noticed for such a big commotion?" Mu Zixu said.

"He is already at the end of the road. The poisoning case, the Nanya state case, the kidnapping of Wang Sitong and the pursuit of Shi Ye are enough for the emperor to track him down. It is only a matter of time. Besides, one of his dead men fell into the emperor's hands alive. This is enough for him to be restless. Therefore, it is not that he is confident or not, but that he is gambling." Mu Changfeng said.

"Is this considered a desperado?" Mu Zixu asked.

"Forget it." Mu Changfeng said.

Mu Ziyi sneered for a while.Mu Qianfan wanted to be an oriole, but he didn't know that the hunter was already staring at him.

"The emperor said that the soldiers and horses from Chu Yuan were sent to you for disposal. What do you plan to do?" Mu Chengyun asked Mu Changfeng

"It's not completely handed over to me. There is also General Han. I am only responsible for keeping an eye on Chu Yuan and conveying his every move to General Han." Mu Changfeng said.

"You are quite leisurely." Mu Zixu said.

From the beginning to the end, Mu Changfeng only needed to provide people and information, and he didn't have to do anything else. It didn't look like they had to work hard on acting, exhausted, like a lunatic.

Mu Changfeng smiled: "I still have the Mausoleum Mansion to guard, and the emperor asked me to go to the palace to help."

It sounds like it's really busy.Mu Zixu was speechless.

"Zhengqing, tell me, is your lord too reckless?" Mu Zixu looked at Gu Zhengqing and asked him a question.

"My lord is indeed very busy." Gu Zhengqing said.

Mu Ziyi rolled his eyes: "You are too honest, no wonder you are eaten to death by this guy."

Mu Chengyun looked at them and drank tea silently.After analyzing the relationship between Gu Zhengqing and Mu Changfeng, both he and Mu Ziyi had a general guess about the relationship between Gu Zhengqing and Mu Changfeng. They were quite surprised at first, but gradually became relieved.Mu Changfeng should have gotten married a long time ago, but it has been delayed until now. It's not without clues, but none of them thought about it at the time.Moreover, Mu Changfeng has a withdrawn temperament and is a very assertive person. Although they are brothers, it is too inconvenient to interfere.Besides, Gu Zhengqing was a good person, and they didn't have any objections.

He reluctantly listened to some rumors, saying that the King of Mausoleum is going to be engaged, and judging by the attitude of the concubine Su Yao a while ago, it should be true.They didn't suspect that Mu Changfeng was engaged to someone else, and they all knew what Mu Changfeng was like.So, it's all come to this point, the matter between Mu Changfeng and Gu Zhengqing is a certainty, and they can only bless them.
