In the evening of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Murong Ba sat in the side hall, sipping the tea that the maid had just brought in.

"My lord, there is something important to repay for his humble position", the one who spoke was Murong Ba's personal guard - Yang Rui, this Yang Rui is the son of Yang Zhong, the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who grew up in the Prime Minister's Mansion since he was a child, Murong Ba saw that he was clever and sensible, so he took him by his side and did things for him, and he was Murong Ba's close confidant like his father.

Murong Ba put down the teacup in his hand, glanced at Yang Zhong and said, "Let them all go down, there is no need to serve here", "No", "There are orders to go down, without my permission, you are not allowed to disturb", "No", Yang Zhong replied and left the hall with the other subordinates.

Yang Zhong walked to the door of the room, watched the people walk away, then took the door himself, sat in the pavilion not far from the side hall, and guarded it in case anyone broke in, and at the same time waited for his son to come out to see what other instructions the prime minister had.

When Yang Zhong was young, there was a sudden flood in his hometown, and the people of the whole village died and fled. Yang Zhong's family also died because of the flood, leaving only him and his sister to rely on each other.

He was forced to take his sister thousands of miles to this capital to beg for a living, and he suffered a lot along the way, and when he was about to despair, fortunately Murong Ba, who was still a doctor at the time, begged, brought back to the mansion to make a living, and served their brothers and sisters very well, so that they had the opportunity to read and write.

When his sister was young, he found a wealthy family and prepared a rich dowry no less than any beautiful and rich lady, so that she could marry in a beautiful manner, make a main room, and have no worries about her life.

He also takes good care of his son Yang Rui, although he is the son of a subordinate, Yang Rui has been studying and practicing martial arts like the young master in the house since he was a child, and he has been taught by the best gentleman. Murong Ba's great kindness to their family, Yang Zhong could not repay it all his life, and vowed to give everything for Murong Ba to repay his kindness.

"My lord, there is news from the palace, this morning after the court, the emperor went to the queen mother's palace to say goodbye, and after about an hour, he went straight to the imperial study after coming out, and he has not come out until now."

Yang Rui saw that everyone had gone down, and reported the news to Murong Ba, "Oh, did you say that it was for any reason?" ", "The news said that it was because of the expedition, the Queen Mother strongly opposed, and the emperor was shaken......", "Oh! Hearing this, Murong Ba stopped playing with the tea in his hand and raised his eyes obliquely to look at Yang Rui.

"The person who came to report said that after that, Old Prince Gu came, stood on the emperor's side, and pulled the situation back", "Old Lord Gu? You said that Old Prince Gu also went to Changning Palace? "Yes, the messenger did say that Old Prince Gu was also in Changning Palace, and he also brought Gu Yanting with him. "Go, tell me to go down, and the prime minister must know all the things that happened to the emperor in Changning Palace today, and he can't miss anything at all."

"No, my subordinates will do it." Yang Rui took the order and withdrew. "Father, why did the Queen Mother, the old prince Gu, suddenly appear in Changning Palace, the news said that he didn't go to Changning Palace two days ago?" , it was Murong Ba's only son Murong Zai who spoke, "This thing is indeed a little strange",

"This old prince Gu has not heard about the court for a long time, and the last time he appeared, it was when the emperor ascended the throne, why did he appear in the palace so frequently in recent days", "This is not the ...... that my father is most worried about", "Father is worried that Old Prince Gu has already retired, why is he still so concerned about the expedition now, and he is still so concerned about the expedition like us, and he is trying his best to promote this matter."

"Father ordered Yang Rui to investigate clearly, what happened in Changning Palace today, just to see what Old Prince Gu is doing?" , "This Gu Xiaozhe is scheming, we have to guard against it", "It's late at night, my father should rest early, you don't have to worry too much about this old prince Gu."

As for the current situation, it is still good for us, not only has the expedition not only not been affected, but it is also a foregone conclusion, as for other things, it is better to wait for the results of Uncle Yang tomorrow, and it is not too late to say it", "What you said is not unreasonable", Murong nodded lightly, and said: "Today is the first thing, you also go to rest", "The child will retire first, and it is important for you to rest your body early."

After Murong was robbed, Murong Ba fell into deep thought, he was puzzled about Old Prince Gu's going to Changning Palace today, whether he was ordered to go by himself, or to go by himself, it was okay to be ordered, if he went first, why would he leave the palace with him.

The carriage was also very broken, is it after I leave? He Gu Xiaozhe never left, and went directly into the palace? Although the situation did not change in the end, what did the old man want? A wave of doubts from the prince haunted Murong Ba, making him unable to feel at ease, he had to figure out what was going on today.
