When Mr. Gu heard her words, he took a deep breath, his eyes filled with puzzlement and confusion.

The young lady's biological father, the prince consort, was buried together with the princess, so she could have directly asked Commander Xiao to offer sacrifices to her father.

He didn't understand why he was asked to pay homage to the princess instead of her biological father.

He stared at the little girl in front of him, trying to find anything unusual on her face.

Feng Qiongzhu looked at him directly and said, "I think you and the princess must have a special relationship, and I am just the illegitimate daughter of the prince consort. In fact, strictly speaking according to the rules of the big family, the princess should be my legal mother? I should go to pay homage to her and bring it up with you. If I can get your consent, I believe the princess will not blame me too much in the back."

Looking at her determined eyes, Mr. Gu knew that she was not acting on a whim, but must have thought it over carefully and wanted to pay homage to the princess sincerely.

He put aside his doubts, as if looking into the distance, and said slowly: "The princess and her husband had a very good relationship. They supported each other and experienced so many life and death together. Unfortunately, the princess left her husband first, and neither of them had time to leave a bloodline in the world. I know your biological mother. That girl is the princess's personal maid. She has a very good relationship with the princess. The two grew up together. If the princess knew that you were the child of Zhirou and her husband, she would be happy. Let's go, I'll take you there."

Old Gu put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and left the wooden house, taking her to the graves of the prince consort and the princess.

Along the way, Feng Qiongzhu seemed exceptionally quiet, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

Mr. Gu also walked silently in front of her to lead the way without saying a word.

They passed through a dense forest and climbed a rugged mountain road. Feng Qiongzhu did not expect that the tomb of the princess and her father would be in a cave in the middle of the cliff.

Finally, in front of this solemn and dignified tomb, Feng Qiongzhu knelt on the ground with her hands clasped together, her expression solemn.

Looking at her pious appearance, Old Gu felt inexplicably moved, and tears welled up in his eyes. He said in a deep voice: "Since you said that the princess is your biological mother, you should call her mother."

Feng Qiongzhu kowtowed three times in front of the grave and said firmly, "The unfilial daughter Xiao Qiongzhu kowtows to father and mother."

She wiped the tombstone carefully with the handkerchief in her hand and whispered, "Princess, my biological mother is your personal maid Yi Zhirou, and my biological father is your husband. I respectfully call you mother, and I hope you don't blame me. My biological mother died of illness six years ago, but she may have been murdered, so I want to return to Cangzhou to avenge her. In addition, I have now inherited your Longyin Army, and I plan to take this army to Shangjing City to rebel against the current emperor. I hope you will bless me in heaven."

She continued to whisper, "Father, I am Xiao Qiongzhu, your biological daughter. Don't worry, I will lead the Xiao family to restore its former glory and no longer live a life of hiding. My uncle is also very good to me. You must also bless me with the princess down there. I will come to pay homage to you often in the future."

After seeing him finish his worship, Mr. Gu turned around and left silently.

He knew that with such a character at such a young age, such a strong and firm heart, and his own beliefs, he, the newly appointed young master of the family, would be a great man in the future...

Xuan Wu was not far away, watching Old Gu leave, and hurried forward to help her up.

Feng Qiongzhu stood up, brushed the dust off her knees and said, "Let's go, let's go back to see Old Na. I still have something important to tell him."

Xuan Wu's mouth twitched as he listened. This master of the house, after all this time, didn't even mention a word about the serious business?

Old Gu returned to his cabin and saw Feng Qiongzhu coming back. He asked, "What's going on? I heard there was a fight outside. You, the head of the family, have been drinking tea with me for a long time and you just came down from the mountain. Why don't you go back to your own place?"

Feng Qiongzhu found a stool and sat down in a corner of the yard to stretch her tired legs.

He said casually: "I haven't told you the real business yet."

"You have something else to tell me?"

"Well, Mr. Gu, you like this valley too, right? How about we change this valley and use it to grow medicinal herbs? I observed the soil here and it is very suitable for growing medicinal herbs. In addition, this is a unique geographical environment, and outsiders cannot easily come in. I really like it."

When Mr. Gu heard this, he immediately became interested. His expression became gentle and he asked, "How are you going to change it? Many of these rare medicinal herbs are hard to find. That's not an easy thing to do."

Feng Qiongzhu glanced at Old Gu and said, "You don't have to worry about the medicinal seeds. Have you ever heard of Ghost Gate?"

When Mr. Gu heard the word "Ghost Gate", he shuddered violently. How could he not have heard of it? The medical skills of ghost doctors are the lifelong dream of doctors like them.

He carefully brought a small stool and sat next to Feng Qiongzhu, and asked, "Young master, the cultivation of medicinal herbs in our valley has anything to do with the Ghost Gate? Or can you get rare medicinal herb seeds from the Ghost Gate?"

"I am the apprentice of the ghost doctor. Haven't you heard of me?"

Mr. Gu was so shocked by her words that he spat out the tea he had just drunk.

Xuan Wu pulled Feng Qiongzhu away with disdain and said in a reproachful tone, "I say, Mr. Gu, you should be more careful. You are already so old, why are you still making such a fuss?"

"You silly girl, she said she was the apprentice of the ghost doctor, how could I not be surprised?"

"Yes, we knew it a long time ago. Master Xu had already passed on the news."

Old Gu was so angry that he put the teapot on the ground and shouted, "That damn Taoist priest, why didn't I know about such a big thing? I thought the antidote was just something the head of the family got by accident. Am I the only fool in the whole valley?"

Mr. Gu was so excited that he was spinning on the spot, not knowing where to put his hands.

Feng Qiongzhu looked at his excitement and quickly comforted him, "Don't get excited. Do you agree with what I said? How about we turn the valley into the Medicine King Valley? I will be responsible for finding the seeds."

Old Gu almost cried with joy: "Okay, of course, as long as you can get the seeds of Guimen, I will plant them for you."

"But don't be too happy. I'm still looking for my master. I don't know where my master, the Ghost Doctor, is hiding. I have to find him."

When Mr. Gu heard that they were going to look for her master, the Ghost Doctor, he was not worried at all. The fact that he was the head of the family and was the Ghost Doctor's apprentice was already an extraordinary identity.

He hurriedly said, "Master, don't worry, I will take all the disciples in the valley tomorrow to plan out the land suitable for planting."
