Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

A round of silver moon hangs above the palace, and the bright moonlight makes the palace look extraordinarily peaceful.

However, at that moment, a burst of breath rushed out from the imperial palace, completely breaking this tranquility.

"Sure enough, someone is breaking through! This breath, is it successful?!"

The patron saint of Dagan has never been relieved. Even after returning to the Taimiao ancestral hall, he still pays attention to the movement in the palace, so he noticed it immediately, and his face showed even more emotion.

He didn't know whether this turn of events would be a blessing or a curse for the Daqian Dynasty and the Li family, so he could only frown and watch from afar.

"I hope I'm just too old to worry..."

In fact, it is not only Dagan's patron saint who is aware of this scene, many people in this palace and in this capital have actually sensed it.

Ordinary people may not be so sharp, but martial arts practitioners are born with sharper five senses than ordinary people, and the deeper the level of skill, the stronger the perception.

At that moment, many masters inside and outside the palace sensed it, and they all frowned, their faces full of doubts.

In the palace, a team of imperial city officials was patrolling, and the leader was Guan Peng, who was the imperial city officer at the time.

Now he is an official of the fifth rank. Although his official rank is not that high, he holds a lot of power and is a person close to the emperor. He can be said to be in the limelight inside and outside the court.

But even so, he never forgot his identity, and firmly remembered that everything he had now came from Li Changshou.

Therefore, he has never slacked off on the safety of the palace.

"grown ups!"

"The breath just now seems to be coming from His Majesty!"

Several masters of the Imperial City Division under him reminded them in low voices that they were all old men who followed Li Changshou to Jiangdong, and now they are also in important positions, and their skills are all ninth rank!

For them, the current official position and skills have never been dreamed of before.

"go!"

Guan Peng didn't dare to trust him, and immediately led his people towards the imperial palace. At the same time, he bumped into the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army on the way. Obviously, the other party was also aware of the situation and was leading his people to escort him.

"Master Guan!"

"Master Tong!"

Both were officials in the same dynasty, and both were considered to be members of Li Changshou's side. They had been familiar with each other for a long time, and they didn't explain much after nodding their heads.

"It's from His Majesty's palace!"

Two groups of people quickly came to the outside of the imperial palace, but they saw that there was no change in the people staying here, and they came forward when they saw the two coming, "My subordinates pay respects to the two adults."

"Nothing happened inside, right? Has Your Majesty ever been well?"

Guan Peng hurriedly asked, and before his subordinates could answer, he heard Li Changshou's voice, "It's all gone, nothing happened."

Naturally, Guan Peng would not admit his mistake to this voice. Hearing this, his expression froze and he immediately bowed towards the imperial palace.

At the same time, the deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army seemed to hear the sound transmission, and also showed respect.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and at the same time secretly sighed that the emperor's skill is so profound and terrifying...

A false alarm.

It's just that Guan Peng and the deputy commander of the Yulin Army were not the only ones who caused commotion. After all, there are so many masters in the palace, and there are actually strong people in the capital outside the palace.

For example, Zuo Zhixiong, the commander of the imperial army, Gu Fan, the minister of Dali Temple, and others all felt something.

Also rushed to the palace for the first time!

……

"Is Your Majesty all right?"

In the palace, only a few people were coming in a hurry, but they all breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that Li Changshou hadn't been assassinated.

"Boss, you still don't believe what I said. Your Majesty said through voice transmission that it's all right. Mr. Tong and I heard it at the same time. If you don't believe me, you can ask him."

Guan Peng spread his hands, even though Gu Fan has left the Imperial City Division now, he still respects Gu Fan as a big brother.

"Master Tong."

Gu Fan looked towards the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army.

The latter hurriedly cupped his hands, "Master Gu, what Master Guan said is correct, he and I have heard His Majesty's voice transmission, and we have not found any assassins entering the palace, so we should be fine."

"Then the breath tonight? Could it be that His Majesty made the movement?"

Zuo Zhixiong looked at the few people and couldn't help asking with a wry smile, his skill is the deepest among them, and his experience is also the most experienced, he doesn't know how others can know?
"It doesn't look like His Majesty's breath."

Gu Fan shook his head, but he also knew that Li Changshou's skills were unfathomable. If he really met an assassin, he should worry not about Li Changshou, but whether the assassin was still alive.

Just when several people were puzzled, they saw Eunuch Cao walking over.

"My lords, Your Majesty asked this old slave to tell me that tonight I just enjoy the movement of the moonlight with a few empresses, so don't worry."

Everyone is very familiar with Eunuch Cao.

This old eunuch is an evergreen tree in the imperial palace, he is sleek and exquisite, and he is still the head of the internal servants, which can be regarded as quite powerful.

Even the deputy commander of the Yulin Army and Zuo Zhixiong had to be polite when they saw each other, and Guan Peng would nod when they saw him, but Eunuch Cao only nodded and bowed when he saw Gu Fan, respectfully and flatteringly.

No one is surprised that such a differential treatment.

Now who doesn't know that Gu Fan is His Majesty's adoptive son?
Even if it is not made public, no one who can be in the court is a fool.

"Master Gu, Your Majesty also told this old slave that you should come to the palace more often when you have time. Besides, Your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine are waiting for you to have breakfast together."

Three-year-old children know what it means, such a holy favor, even if others envy them, they can't envy them, who made them not have a beautiful and charming old lady in their family?

This kind of thing is fate!

So Guan Peng is eager to try, his old mother died early, but he still has two older sisters!
Now his two elder sisters have also entered the palace as female officials. The official position is not very good, but after all, the near water will be the first to get the moon, so it is uncertain what will happen in the future, right?
Even Guan Peng didn't expect his two sisters to be canonized as concubines, and he was already satisfied with being canonized as a fifth-rank talent.

further up?
Then it depends on whether his two sisters are up to the challenge, if a prince and daughter are born, it is not impossible...

"What hour?"

Gu Fan glanced at the sky, well, it's almost dawn, and it's hard to refuse, "Well, it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Some things have become established facts, and deliberately avoiding them will make him feel guilty.

Besides, he didn't rely on his nepotism to get to this point. Gu Fan has always believed that he is standing upright and has a clear conscience!
"Xiaguan and others will leave!"

Seeing this, the others were naturally interested, even though they were officials in the same dynasty and belonged to Li Changshou's direct descendants who had been promoted a long time ago.

But the problem is that there are also closeness and estrangement. Who makes people have different status and identities?
……

"Minister Gu Fan, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"Meet the imperial concubine!"

The imperial palace is not something that ministers can enter and leave casually, let alone being summoned alone, and can also have meals with the emperor and noble concubines. Such honors have rarely been seen in all dynasties.

Only those who are extremely favored and trusted by the emperor can have this kind of treatment.

Gu Fan also knew that he was a bit cautious, and when he was led here, he saw Li Changshou and his mother looking at him with smiles.

"My family, you can be as casual as you like, there is no need to be so polite."

Li Changshou looked at his eldest son, he knew Gu Fan's abilities best, he was excellent in every aspect, and had a good character.

To be honest, passing the position to Gu Fan is the best choice.

It's just that there are some things that are hard to explain...

"I am frightened!"

Gu Fan smiled wryly, how could it be his own family?
Could it be that he really treats himself like a prince?
Now he is already attracting attention like this, and he doesn't want to cause trouble for his mother. Since ancient times, the royal family has been ruthless, and he knows it well.

"It's a simple family dinner, so I didn't call out outsiders."

Li Changshou beckoned and asked Gu Fan to sit down beside him. Indeed, as he said, the breakfast on the table was exquisite but not too much, just enough for three or four people.

In addition, there was no one waiting around, even Eunuch Cao withdrew after bringing Gu Fan back.

"Your Majesty, last night..."

Gu Fan hesitated for a while, not knowing how to speak.

Li Changshou smiled slightly when he heard the words, and then held Gu Xiaoya's catkin in front of Gu Fan. The latter blushed and gave him a reproachful look, "You say it or I say it?"

"It's better for the concubine to speak for herself."

Showing affection in front of the face, Gu Fan didn't know whether to be embarrassed or helpless, but at the same time, he also noticed that there was something in the two people's words, so he couldn't help but slightly frowned and became curious.

"Fan'er, it was my mother's accidental epiphany breakthrough last night. Fortunately, your father handled it well and didn't attract too many people."

Gu Xiaoya subconsciously opened her mouth to explain, but accidentally slipped her tongue. The impact of the sentence "Your Father" almost didn't make Gu Fan stunned, while Li Changshou suppressed his smile, pretending he didn't hear it.

"Mum, no, empress, minister!"

The muscles on Gu Fan's face twitched. It's not good to refuse, and it's not good to deny it. He didn't know what his mother's sudden words meant?
Can the royal father recognize it indiscriminately?

Even if he had the cheek to admit it, all civil and military officials would be in an uproar if word spread!

Even when he sees his mother now, he has to think about how to address her. After all, there are differences between monarchs and ministers, and his mother has already been canonized as a noble concubine.

"There are no outsiders now, and His Majesty also said that it is a family banquet. Why are you and your mother strange, Fan'er?"

Gu Xiaoya also realized that the words she blurted out just now must have scared her son, but it was hard to explain, so she could only gently place her delicate hand on Li Changshou's waist, and it was all his fault!

"I dare not!"

Gu Fan got up quickly, "There is a difference between a monarch and a minister, the empress is a noble concubine, and the minister is just a courtier!"

Seeing this, Gu Xiaoya's eyes were full of pleading for help and hopeful resentment, she looked towards Li Changshou, seeing this, Li Changshou could only shake his head with a wry smile and then said, "Gu Fan, do you want to see your mother sad?"

As soon as this remark came out, Gu Fan was helpless. He was extremely filial, how could he be willing to see his mother sad, but...

"In the future, I won't force you in court, but in private, don't make your mother sad."

"My minister... according to the order!"

Gu Fan had no choice but to agree, and at the same time realized the information revealed by his mother's words just now, he suddenly reacted and raised his head in surprise, "Mother, you just said that the person who broke through last night was you?"

In his memory, his mother was weak and sick, and she had worked so hard to bring him up. He never thought that his mother was also capable of martial arts.

"Fan'er, Mother has a secret that I haven't told you."

secret?

Gu Fan frowned but remained silent.

"Niang actually studied under the Demon Sect, she is the former saint of the Demon Sect."

After hiding it from Gu Fan for so many years and finally saying it, Gu Xiaoya was a little worried that he would not be able to accept it, but she continued, "With the help of your royal father last night, mother has now broken through the limit of a great master..."

Gu Fan: "!!!???"

Li Changshou added from the side, "Your mother means that she is now a land fairy."

"I forgot to tell you, my skills are still higher than your mother, and now you and your mother are real couples of gods~"
