"What's wrong, call me back in such a hurry." While Gu Ange was changing clothes, he asked Luan Ge, who was choosing accessories for her to wear.

Originally, she planned to stay in the courtyard for a while longer, after all, she still had a lot of things to deal with, but she received a message from Luan Ge, saying that someone in the Hou Mansion was looking for her and asked her to go back quickly, so Gu Ange had to come back early in the morning, fortunately, her light skills were really good, and she was not discovered when she came back from the wall.

"Just now, our people in the Hou Mansion came with news that Gu Hou was just discussing with the Song family and asked the master to go to the palace side by side to deliver gifts." Luan Ge said.

Since she originally planned to return to Beijing, Gu Ange naturally couldn't prepare at all, so it was natural for her to place some people in the mansions and around some important people in the capital, among which the people in the Marquis Zhongyong's Mansion were obviously the most.

"Okay, I see, they're really trying to get started." Gu Ange sneered, his eyes full of disdain.

Sure enough, at noon, someone came to pass the word, "Second Miss, Master Hou and Mrs. Hou invite you to have lunch in Anrong Courtyard." ”

"Got it." Gu Ange replied, "You go back first, I'll be there soon." ”

After the girl who passed the message left, Gu Ange sat up lazily from the soft collapse, with a helpless face, "Let's go." "It looks like I can't have a good lunch.

When Gu Ange arrived, she found that Gu Rong and the Song family were already sitting there waiting for her.

"Father, aunt." Gu Ange leaned over slightly.

"Ge'er is here, don't be polite, come and sit." Gu Rong smiled kindly, and Aunt Song, who was sitting next to him, also laughed.

"Yes." Gu Ange picked a place far away from them and sat down, "Why don't you see the others?" Gu Ange asked.

"Yiyi and Yanan are both out of the house." Song smiled and waved his hand to let the little girl next to him pour tea for Gu Ange.

"How is Ge'er's health, you have to recuperate during this time, and it is inconvenient for your father and aunt to come over and disturb you." Gu Rong asked with a smile.

"Thank you father, it's a lot better."

"That's good, that's good, you must have a good rest, don't get sick again." Gu Rong showed an expression that was both relieved and happy after hearing that Gu Ange was fine.

"Yes." Looking at Gu Rong's concerned look, he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted in his heart, if he really cared about himself, would he let his mother die in this mansion, and he would not look at him for half a month after he fainted.

"It's good to know, then let's eat first." Gu Rong was obviously satisfied with Gu Ange's answer.

So the three of them ate in silence with their own thoughts, Gu Ange was uncomfortable by the calculating eyes of the two people from time to time, so he casually ate a few bites and said that he was full, and when he saw her put down the dishes and chopsticks, Gu Rong and Song also put down the dishes and chopsticks.

"Is the song ready?" Song asked.

Gu Ange nodded.

"That song is for my father and aunt, there is something I need you to do." When Gu Rong heard this, his eyes flashed.

"Father, please." Gu Ange lowered his head and stared at the tea in front of him as if he was very engrossed, but the impatience in the covered eyes became more and more serious.

"There is still a month to go until the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I hope that my father can go to the palace side by side to send some gifts on behalf of the Marquis of Zhongyong." Gu Rong touched his beard and said with a smile.

Gu Ange had long known that he would say this, and he didn't bother to say anything, so he nodded and agreed, rather than looking at the faces of these two people here, she would rather go to Mo Wuxian to play, at least it was more relaxed.

Seeing Gu Ange nodding, the smiles on the faces of the two of them were even worse, "The side by side king is the god of war of my Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Ge'er must behave decently at that time, but I must not let the prince have any dissatisfaction with my loyal and brave marquis mansion." ”

"Auntie, I'll send you a set of clothes and a face to your yard, and you can change into it later. As for the gifts, they have already been loaded on the carriage for you. Song looked Gu Ange's outfit up and down and frowned. Gu Ange wore a rather plain moon-white dress today, although the material was good, but it looked even more pale and sickly, how could she highlight the love of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion for her, besides, although Mo Wuxian couldn't see it, but the people around him could see it, many times, the influence of the people around him was also very important, if Mo Wuxian could really look down on Gu Ange, then Gu Ange's actions would be much easier after entering the palace, and the success rate would be higher. Therefore, if you pay a little money for clothing and accessories now, it is very likely that you will get the glory and wealth of the Hou Mansion for several generations in the future, how can this account be calculated.

Gu Ange smiled at the two of them, indicating that he understood.

"Then let's go back and prepare first."

"Yes."

When Gu Ange took Luan Ge back to the courtyard, he saw two little girls standing in the flower hall with two brocade boxes.

"I've seen Second Miss." The two little girls look ordinary, and they look honest. This is a consistent feature of the Song family's courtyard, and the Song family has always felt that the women in his courtyard must not be too beautiful, so as not to be taken by Gu Rong, and they will come to block themselves when the time comes.

"Get up, leave your things behind." Gu Ange didn't even look at the two little girls, and walked directly to the side and sat down.

When the two little girls heard this, they directly put the brocade box on the table, and then leaned over and left. The people in the Song family's courtyard, except for the big girls Jin Yan and Jin Yi beside her, the remaining little girls were unexpectedly honest, and they didn't bully others, so they didn't have the slightest dissatisfaction with Gu Ange's reaction.

After the people left, Luan Ge stepped forward and opened the brocade box, only to see that it was a peach-colored long skirt, complex and exquisite, the fabric was made of the favorite Lianyun brocade of the ladies of Beijing, and the other brocade box contained a complete set of jewelry, which was mainly made of luxurious rubies, with gold, gorgeous and gorgeous, but it was quite tacky. Luan Ge pouted, "Their vision is really bad. "Actually, for the Song family, when she didn't enter the Hou Mansion, she was just a poor family, without any decent clothes, she was very envious of those high-ranking nobles Miss Jiao since she was a child, and she was dressed in gorgeous brocade. Therefore, once you fly on the branches, you will inevitably want to dress yourself up with all kinds of luxurious clothes. So much so that now she thinks that beauty needs these external things to pile up.

"Put it away, it's not convenient to do anything in this body." Gu Ange looked at the heavy clothes and had a headache, "You go and find out my snow cicada clothes, doesn't she want me to dress up better, and the clothes on the left and right are also suitable." "Gu Ange's snow cicada clothes were brought back to her when Gu Yue went out to practice before, this kind of fabric can only be seen occasionally in southern Xinjiang, although it looks no different from ordinary silk materials, but as soon as you touch it, you can find that it is more delicate than ordinary silk, more comfortable to wear, and the most important thing is that it is difficult for ordinary swords to pierce it, which is quite useful for people like Gu Ange who do not know martial arts. And this dress is very in line with Gu Ange's temperament, even if she looks sickly, it will not look pale, even under Gu Ange's deliberate dress, it can add a touch of beauty to her.

"Yes." Luan Ge agreed with a smile, and then hurriedly entered the inner room of Gu Ange's room.

Half an hour later, Gu Ange finished dressing up and took Luan Ge to the carriage that was already waiting outside the mansion. In addition to the small guy who drove the carriage, there were also a few guards who followed, and it seemed that the pomp and circumstance were not small.

"Master, they are really willing to pay for their blood." Luan Ge curiously opened the gift that Gu Rong had prepared for Mo Wuxian, and when he looked at it, he couldn't help but smack his tongue in amazement. A ginseng in excellent condition, a box of pearls, and a painting that looks like it is worth a thousand gold, it is really a bloody sentence.

"These things are nothing to the Hou Mansion, a family that has been passed down for several generations, who knows how much the family has in the family." Gu Ange was not as surprised as Luan Ge, leaning against the wall of the carriage and closing his eyes to recuperate.

"That's right." Luan Ge thought about it for a while, and felt that what his master said was really right, and then he leaned on the carriage like Gu Ange and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

"Second Miss, we're here." The carriage came to a slow stop, and then the sound of the chariot boy was heard.

"Send a prayer post." Gu Ange said lightly, followed by a gilded post handed out by Luan Ge. Although Mo Bai can't see the content of the prayer post, this is a kind of etiquette after all, and the so-called etiquette cannot be abolished.

"Yes." After the little servant took it, he walked towards the door of the side by side palace.

The little guy handed the post in his hand to the guard at the door, and the guard took it, opened it, glanced at it twice, and then said, "Please wait." Then he turned and entered the gate.

"Lord Wang, a greeting post sent by the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion." When the guards found Mo Wuxian with the post, he was sitting in the gazebo in the garden drinking tea, and there were two people standing behind him, Lihuo and Kuntu, the begonias and osmanthus in the garden were blooming, and with his dark robe, it looked even more lonely and mysterious.

"Marquis Zhongyong's Mansion?" Mo Wuxian picked up a cup of tea and raised his eyebrows, "Do you know who is coming?" ”

"Lord Yu, the person who came was sitting in a carriage, and I didn't see who it was." The guard was half-kneeling on the ground, bowing his head respectfully.

"Lord Wang, is it it..."Lihuo's eyes lit up behind him.

Mo Wuxian raised his hand and motioned for him to shut up. Seeing this gesture, Lihuo knew that he might have said the wrong thing, so he couldn't help touching his nose and flashing to the side. There are a lot of people walking around in this garden, and who knows if there will be other people's work inside.

"Invite people here, I'm here to meet guests." Mo Wuxian raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment, and then commanded in a cold voice.

The guard took the order, and when he returned to the door, he replied to the cloth maid who had been waiting at the door, "Lord Wang, please come in." The little servant nodded at the guard, and then went to reply to Gu Ange.

"Second Miss, side by side, the king invites us in." The little servant took down the stool on the carriage and put it away so that Gu Ange could get out of the carriage.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Luan Ge, who was dressed as a girl, jumped down, and then stretched out his hand to carefully support Gu Ange, who got out of the carriage.

"Come and grab the gifts in the car and follow me into the house." After Gu Ange got out of the carriage, he looked at the team of guards following behind him and said softly.

Several guards stepped forward in response, took out a few brocade boxes from the carriage, and held them carefully.

"This young lady, please come down with your subordinates, and the prince invites you to the garden for a while." The guard who had just spoken at the door leaned slightly over Gu Ange.

Gu Ange nodded, "I'm tired." ”

The guard grimaced, said he didn't dare, and then walked silently in front to lead the way. Gu Ange followed closely behind with Luan Ge and a few guards, and a quarter of an hour later, Gu Ange saw Mo Wuxian sitting in the pavilion.

"My prince is there, young lady, please take care of yourself." The guard sent Gu Ange to the garden gate where he could see Mo Wuxian and retired. At this time, the people in the garden were almost all dismissed.

"Thank you." Gu Ange nodded, and then said to the guards who followed behind him, "You stay here first, and then you come back when I call you." ”

The guards shouted in unison.

So Gu Ange walked into the pavilion with Luan Ge, "You are comfortable." Gu Ange walked in front of Mo Wuxian and stood still, looking at his leisurely appearance, he spoke a little dissatisfied.

"I've seen Miss Gu." Lihuo and Kuntu bowed down slightly, and Luan Ge also saluted to Mo Wuxian.

Gu Ange waved his hand casually, signaling the two of them to be exempt.

"Why did you come here at this time, sit." Mo Wuxian obviously heard Gu Ange's voice, and raised his hand to pour her a cup of tea.

Gu Ange snorted lightly and sat opposite him, "Isn't it the Marquis Gu, he asked me to send you some Mid-Autumn Festival gifts." ”

Mo Wuxian lowered his head and thought about it, and soon laughed, obviously understanding what Gu Rong was doing this for, "He is really loyal." ”

"Obviously, that's what I think too." Gu Ange took the tea and took a sip, squinting his eyes happily, "Come on, let you know what Gu Hou sent you." ”

Mo Wuxian nodded indifferently.

So Gu Ange gently bowed his head to Luan Ge, Luan Ge understood, and walked to the three guards waiting at the gate of the garden, "Miss let you go." ”

The three guards holding the brocade box nodded, and then followed behind Luan Ge and slowly walked to the pavilion.

"Lord Wang, this is the Mid-Autumn Festival gift given to you by my father, a pearl, a hundred-year-old ginseng, and a picture of Li Xin's night banquet for hundreds of officials in the previous dynasty. Please don't dislike it. Gu Ange stood up and opened the brocade boxes one by one.

"Thank you Gu Hou." Mo Wuxian waved his hand, his thin red lips hooked a small arc, his glass-like pupils did not have the slightest brilliance, and the whole person seemed to have a gentle aura, which was the same as the legendary King Side by Side. Speaking of which, no one in this world is a simple person. "Later, I will ask Miss Gu San to bring some return gifts to Gu Hou."

"Yes, thank you Lord, Lord Wang is polite." Gu Ange smiled politely.

"Kuntu brought people to the treasury, I remember that last time His Majesty rewarded me with a piece of warm jade, and there is a purple jade flute in the treasury, you take them out, and then send them to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion with Miss Gu Er, and say thank you Gu Hou for the gift." Mo Wuxian thought about it and commanded with a smile.

Kuntu behind him looked at Mo Wuxian in some surprise for a while, but quickly reined in his mind and took the order, and left with the three guards standing aside.

"What, have something to say?" Gu Ange looked at the appearance in front of him who was obviously taking people away, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and ask.

"Well, there are some things to say, but don't you think that you will feel uncomfortable with those people, I'm doing this for your good." The curvature of the corners of Mo Bai's mouth became a lot larger, and it was obvious that the absence of those eyesores made him a lot happier.

Gu Ange took a sip of tea and was noncommittal.

"Okay, in fact, I want to say, I estimate that His Majesty will give marriage at this Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet, and then your quiet days will be completely gone, and there is still a period of time, if you regret it, it will be too late." Mo Wuxian lowered his head, unable to make out his expression. The impact of the disaster three years ago on him is not insignificant, so much so that now he no longer dares to trust others easily, no matter how intimate he is with Gu Ange, it can't change the fact that he and she have only known each other for a few months. "Becoming the princess of the palace side by side, on the surface, it may seem like a beautiful scenery, but in fact, it will become the enemy of His Majesty and even the entire Eastern Zhou royal family, will face endless assassinations, and will need to walk on thin ice all the time, maybe... Maybe you'll lose your life, have you really figured it out? "Come with me to face what is to come. If you want, I will try to give you my trust, even if it is not worth it in the end, I will not regret it. The always calm side-by-side king also intends to be willful this time.

"Didn't we all say it, I thought I made it clear enough." Gu Ange smiled lightly, and his eyes were full of grace. If you can trust me, maybe in the end, I can help you with more than just healing your eyes. No one knows that her master, the strange man who was bought by her with a piece of steamed buns, taught her not only medical skills, but also power and strategy, maybe, maybe the original intention of his teaching was just to find a successor, and he didn't care if Gu Ange would use it, but who could say exactly what happened in this world.

"Yes, we've all said it." Mo Wuxian was stunned and smiled suddenly.

"Hmm."

"In that case, I feel compelled to tell you something. I am a hereditary king, who inherited the throne at the age of sixteen, and was stationed on the frontier for four years, except for the last battle three years ago, without a single defeat, as you know. Speaking of this, Mo Wuxian smiled a little bitterly, and paused before continuing to speak, "Then, I lost my sight and went back to Beijing to recuperate." In his hands, he has one-tenth of the soldiers and horses in the East Tuesday, the so-called high merit and shock the master, so my Mo family has always been a thorn in the eyes of the royal family, and they can't wait to get rid of it quickly, but because they are afraid of the troops in my hands, they have not started, so the royal family has been trying their best to seize the military power in my hands, once the royal family succeeds, then within three years, there will be no side by side in this world. However, to be honest, there are not many generals who can fight in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and now most of the people who are stationed in the frontier to protect the Eastern Zhou are my people, once I fall, they will not have any good results, and the best is to disarm and return to the field, however, if we go, there will be loopholes in the guards of the frontier, and when the time comes, Western Zheng, Northern Han, and even Southern Xinjiang will invade the territory in a big way, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty may be dangerous. Therefore, even for the sake of the people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, I can't hand over the military power in my hands. ”

"Well, I know, so I want to ask you what exactly you have in mind for the future." Gu Ange was thoughtful.

"Do the best I can. If in the end... I'll leave you with a way out. Mo Wuxian's voice was a little heavy.

"Then the last time you were assassinated in Jiangnan, it was the masterpiece of the one in the palace?" Gu Ange remembered the scene when he first saw Mo Wuxian.

"He asked me to tour Jiangnan and observe the people's feelings." Gu Ange refilled his empty teacup, handed it to him, and watched him take a sip. Mo Wuxian suddenly felt that his dry throat felt a lot better, and then he continued to speak, "I was arranged by him to work carefully and drugged my diet, because I would test for poison before eating, so he could only take drugs and kill me while I fainted, if it weren't for them, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to support meeting you." ”

"That's it, you still want to continue to guard the rivers and mountains of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?" Gu Ange was a little puzzled, for her, she really couldn't comprehend Mo Wuxian's mentality. If someone loses himself, he will definitely disturb his peace.

"Guarding the Eastern Zhou Dynasty side by side with the palace for more than 100 years, after five dynasties, my father taught me since I was a child, my Mo family is not guarding the world of his Zhou family, but the people of this land, so even if the Zhou royal family bears my Mo family and suppresses my Mo family everywhere, my father still let me take over the responsibility of the palace on his behalf before he died, so that I must protect them. The blood of the Mo family was shed for the peace and happiness of these people, not to protect the world of his Zhou family. Mo Wuxian smiled helplessly.

"Although I don't quite understand your mentality, I still think you are amazing." Gu Ange frowned and thought, what the master taught her was to protect her self with wisdom, and to put her own life first, not this kind of righteousness that would rather die than protect the people of the world, and now Mo Wuxian's words are like opening the door to a new world for herself.

Mo Wuxian smiled lightly and said nothing.

"Okay, I know the basics." Gu Ange couldn't figure it out for a while, and he didn't bother to waste that brain, "Then what do I need to do next?" ”

Mo Wuxian lowered his head and thought for a while, "You just do what you have to do, just one point, you must be careful, if you are noticed by the one in the palace, you will not be so comfortable in the future." ”

"Don't worry, I know. What I want to do is just related to the group of people in the Hou Mansion, and I can't make such a big noise, besides, I think the sick seedlings I have created these days should still be quite deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Gu Ange touched his little face, the deliberately decorated pale face was particularly conspicuous, and the hand of the Fanyin Gongzi himself, no matter how superb the disguise master was, he couldn't see the flaw.

"Yes."

"Alright, it's been a long time, and I should go back." Gu Ange put down the teacup, stood up and slowly brushed his clothes.

"Okay, you go back, be careful on the road." Mo Wuxian also stood up.

Gu Ange told Mo Wuxian to remember to take medicine on time, and then went out to go home.
