Chen Zhong, who was almost no different from a beggar, was taken away from Chen Guoshi's old house by Qiu Tang and Yuchen at night and escaped into the backyard of Xiwang Mansion.

After Yuchen stayed in front of Boss Gu and settled down, he went to fetch a basin of water and put it aside, asking Chen Zhong to clean himself, and Boss Gu took out a set of clean clothes and put them aside for Chen Zhong.

Chen Zhong looked at Yuchen and then at Boss Gu, his eyes were full of vigilance and distrust, he looked at Qiu Tang: "Second ......"

"Wash and change your clothes first." Before Chen Zhong could speak, he was interrupted by Qiu Tang. Seeing that Qiu Tang was so relaxed in front of these two people, Chen Zhong gradually let down his guard and began to wash himself.

"Qiu Tang, you come." After all, men and women are not kissed, Boss Gu shouted Qiu Tang aside, and ordered Yuchen to be optimistic about Chen Zhong with his eyes.

After Qiu Tang followed Boss Gu and turned to the screen, Qiu Tang looked at Boss Gu and stopped talking.

"Kid, I know you've been in a bad mood lately, but it's time to face some things." Boss Gu put his hand on Qiu Tang's shoulder. The tone was more solemn than ever.

"Master, do you know something?" Qiu Tang's surprised eyes were mixed with a hint of vigilance.

"Don't be afraid, if I want to betray you, I won't go to great lengths to bring you out of the city." Boss Gu smiled a little distressedly, "After the government came to Xiwang Mansion with the portrait that day, when I saw you, I knew that the person the government was looking for was you." ”

"Then you ......" Qiu Tang looked puzzled. Obviously, handing himself over to the government is not only meritorious, but also rewarding, but Boss Gu and Yuchen hid themselves in the crowd openly or secretly, and brought themselves back to the Holy City. Why is that?

"I didn't hand you over to the government because of what happened later, and because I learned from Doctor Si that you are Chen Kaiyun's daughter." Boss Gu motioned for Qiu Tang to sit down, poured two cups of tea, and continued, "Before Chen Kaiyun entered the Holy City as an official, he was the city lord in Lingcheng for a long time. Later, the saint at that time saw that Chen Kaiyun had made meritorious governance, so he was promoted to three levels in a row, transferred him to the holy city as an official, and later, he was promoted all the way to the national teacher. ”

Qiu Tang heard about his father for the first time from the mouth of others, and unconsciously burst into tears.

Boss Gu stretched out his hand to help Qiu Tang wipe away the tears on his cheeks: "We all see what you have suffered in Lingcheng, but we can't take too much care of you, we are afraid that taking too much care of you will attract the attention of the government, so many times we can only watch." Mother Xu may be a little ruthless, but she is eating this bowl of rice, but fortunately, you are a good child, sensible and obedient, which attracted Mother Xu's eyes to look at you differently and take care of you. ”

Speaking of Mother Xu, Qiu Tang couldn't hold back any longer, and the tears of the bean were crackling and rolling, and she couldn't stop it. Although she was beaten and scolded in Linglong Pavilion, after all, Xu's mother never betrayed herself, she hid herself and gave herself a way to live, and now, seeing that she can slowly start to repay Xu's mother, but Xu's mother took her own life for her own impulse.

"Good boy, don't cry." Boss Gu was distressed, and took Qiu Tang into his arms to comfort him.

"Child, I didn't want you to be sad here when I brought you back to the Holy City." Seeing that Qiu Tang finally stopped his tears, Boss Gu straightened his face, "Originally, we just thought that Chen Kaiyun had offended someone to cause the disaster, and they might just be chasing and killing you, but when they actually thought of slaughtering the city in order to get rid of you, we found that things were not as simple as we imagined." Therefore, Doctor Si found me and asked me to take you out of the Mausoleum City no matter what, and then take you back to the Holy City to find the real reason why the Chen Guoshi's Mansion was destroyed back then, and avenge my father. ”

Boss Gu's words made Qiu Tang feel extremely shocked, she never thought that Chen Zhong insisted on taking herself to Lingcheng because her father had been an official there, and she didn't expect that there were so many people who were secretly paying attention to her, protecting herself, and trying her best to bring herself back to the Holy City.

"Revenge?" Regarding the revenge in Boss Gu's mouth, Qiu Tang was a little incomprehensible.

"Chen Kaiyun, I understand, he will never be a traitor to the party." For some reason, Boss Gu's eyes were a little red.

"Qiu Tang, Chen Zhong has washed it, please come over." Yuchen looked at Qiu Tang a little strangely after detouring through the screen.

Qiu Tang looked at Boss Gu, and Boss Gu nodded: "Let's go together." ”

Chen Zhong, who had washed and changed into clean clothes, had recovered his spirit a little, and when he saw Qiu Tang, he got up and was about to kneel, shouting "Second Miss" in his mouth, and Qiu Tang stopped him.

The four of them sat down separately, and Chen Zhong was extremely excited: "Second Miss! I'm finally seeing you again! ”

"Are you really Chen Zhong?" Qiu Tang looked indifferent and couldn't see any feelings.

"Second Miss, I'm sorry for you!" Chen Zhong said and cried bitterly, "Back then, the lord asked me and Chen Xiao to take you out, I wanted to take you to the mausoleum where the lord used to be the lord of the city to take refuge in the old neighborhood, I don't want Chen Xiao to be a person sent by the Zhang Guoshifu, he lured me to go out to buy food, ready to kill me, and then go to kill you, during the fight, the dagger in his hand cut my neck, in pain, I fell into the moat outside the city, when I woke up again, I found that I was lying in a farmer's house, and finally recovered from my injuries, I went back to the city to find you, But you are gone. Chen Zhong sobbed so much that he could barely speak.

"Drink some water." Yuchen poured a cup of tea and handed it to Chen Zhong.

"Thank you." Chen Zhong took it gratefully, drank it all, paused and continued, "I have been looking in the city for a few days, but I have not seen any trace of you, and the scar on my neck is too eye-catching, so I had to hide my whereabouts and inquire secretly, but after many days I have found nothing. At this moment, I saw the portrait posted by the government, I knew that you were still alive, in order not to be caught by Chen Xiao, I went out of the city overnight, begging all the way back to the holy city, and I was afraid of being discovered by the people of Zhang Guoshi's mansion, so I hid back to Chen Guoshi's old house. I'm sure I'll see you again. ”

Listening to Chen Zhong's words, Qiu Tang took a deep breath: "Yes." I am back. ”

This time it was Yuchen's turn to be surprised. He never expected that this soft and weak woman would actually be the second lady of Chen Guoshi's family.

"Ancestor bless!" Chen Zhong couldn't cry.

That night, everyone did not sleep. Chen Zhong intermittently told the secret discovered by Chen Kaiyun, Qiu Tang gradually understood the reason why his family was wiped out, Boss Gu had a heart, and Yuchen had a new understanding of his apprentice.

"Chen Zhong," Qiu Tang lowered his eyes, as if he had made a lot of determination, "There is something you have to help me." ”

"Second Miss, please speak." Chen Zhong also regained his composure at this time.

"If everything is as you say, then revenge is to find the perpetrators behind the scenes. According to your description, this man must have been in the palace. Chen Zhong, I want to enter the palace. ”

"Holy Lord, Lord Gong asks to see you." Mu Lingyi had just returned to the imperial study after going down to the court, and before his ass could sit firmly, he heard Gong Ranxun asking to see him.

"Let him in." Mu Lingyi nodded. He couldn't refuse, this Gong Ranxun was the highest official in the Qimu clan in the court, and he controlled more than half of the government.

"Holy Ann." Gong Ranxun bowed his hand.

"Lord Gong, please take a seat." Mu Lingyi smiled and gave up his seat, "Lord Gong is so anxious to see me, what advice do you have?" ”

"Shengshang," Gong Ranxun glanced at Li Xusong, who left with interest and closed the door. Gong Ranxun continued, "Shengshang, the counterinsurgency army was blocked in Jing'an City, and Wangsheng ordered Prince Qi to open the city. ”

"Lord Gong, when did Prince Qi become a traitor to the party? Why did you go to Jing'an City to quell the rebellion? Mu Lingyi sneered. In the silence for many days, Mu Lingyi had already thought about not letting anyone slaughter him anymore.

"The Holy One asked knowingly." Gong Ranxun's tone changed instantly, "Holy Lord, don't forget who helped you get to the top smoothly!" ”

"Why did Lord Gong say this?" Mu Lingyi didn't buy his account.

"Mu Lingyi, don't think that now that you are sitting in the Jinluan Palace, you won't take us seriously, as long as we want to, it will be a matter of time before you are pulled down!" Gong Ranxun roared.

"Lord Gong is angry." Mu Lingyi smiled nonchalantly, got up and poured a cup of tea and put it in Gong Ranxun's hand, "Lord Gong shouldn't have come to take the throne this time, right?" ”

"You ......" Gong Ranxun felt that his anger was like hitting a ball of cotton, and the other party's indifference made him very frustrated.

"Extinguish the fire." Mu Lingyi returned to the dragon chair, "Jing'an City is the fief that the first emperor rewarded to Prince Qi, the throne was sealed by the first emperor, the fief was also rewarded by the first emperor, and Prince Qi is my brother, no matter what, it will not be my turn to order him to open the city, what do you say?" ”

"Good, good, good!" Gong Ranxun saw that he couldn't get the result he wanted from Mu Lingyi, so he said three good things in a row, and then left angrily.

"Holy ......" looked at Gong Ranxun's angry back, and Li Xusong looked at Mu Lingyi with some concern.

"Let him go." Mu Lingyi snorted coldly, "No one wants to be a puppet for the rest of their lives. ”

"Li Xusong." After Mu Lingyi calmed down a little, he called Li Xusong, "Change my clothes." I'm going to death row. ”

"Holy not!" Li Xusong refused without thinking about it, "Death row is an extremely vicious place, and the people who are imprisoned there are all heinous and vicious criminals, and it is really not a place where the saint should go." ”

"Li Xusong, I ask you, who am I?" Mu Lingyi narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Xusong.

"You are the Son of Heaven and the king of a country." Li Xusong hurriedly replied.

"The ...... under the world"

"Don't be the king!"

"Isn't death row also my land? Why not? Mu Lingyi sneered.

"Yes." Li Xusong had no choice but to help Mu Lingyi change his clothes.

"Dream Mom." Qiu Tang came to the door of Fengqi Pavilion, ignored Qingyun who was waiting at the door, walked in directly, and found Meng Ling'er, who was sitting in front of the girl who was training the girl, and bowed down.

"Miss Begonia. Hurry up. Seeing that it was Qiu Tang, Meng Ling'er had a little more smile on her face, "You guys are practicing hard here, and you are all acting according to the rules!" Miss Begonia, come here to talk. As he spoke, he led Qiu Tang aside.

"Dream mother, Qiu Tang has something to ask for."
