The steward of the palace of rebirth

The sudden hug made Gu Zhengqing stunned, and he didn't understand why Mu Changfeng hugged him at all.

Mu Changfeng quickly calmed down, and when he realized that his little steward was startled, he let go of his hand and took two steps back.

"You're not injured, are you?" Mu Changfeng said.

"Subordinates are fine." Gu Zhengqing shook his head blankly.

After seeing this scene, Xifeng who came later felt that he had to say something, and said, "It was too dangerous just now, the arrow on the ground was coming straight at you, fortunately, the prince arrived in time and shot it down with the arrow, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous .”

Only then did Gu Zhengqing understand what happened to the broken arrow on the ground and the arrow that had been driven deep into the tree trunk over there. After a moment of fear, he looked up at Mu Changfeng, feeling a surge of warmth in his heart.

"Thank you, my lord, for saving my subordinate's life." Gu Zhengqing said.

Mu Changfeng raised his hand and rubbed the top of Gu Zhengqing's hair.

Gu Zhengqing opened his eyes slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.His hair was rubbed again, but he is really not a child, why does the prince like to comfort him like this?

At this time, the people on the other side of the thorn bush were already trying to bypass the thorn bush, and there were many people listening to the movement.

"Is the person over there okay!" someone shouted.

Mu Changfeng's face darkened, he turned and stood in front of Gu Zhengqing.

Gu Zhengqing didn't make a sound, neither did Xifeng and the others, the silence on their side was a bit scary.

Maybe it's because it's too quiet here, and the people over there are also silent, only the sound of them pushing away the bushes and stepping on the branches, the atmosphere becomes dignified.

After waiting for a while, a person dressed as a guard came out first from the other side of the thorn bush. The person was shocked when he saw the situation here, mainly after seeing Mu Changfeng.

"See His Royal Highness Mausoleum!" The guard immediately saluted, he knew Mu Changfeng.

The person behind the guard was also surprised when he saw this.

"Brother Wang?" A surprised voice appeared, and then Mu Qianfan appeared.

Behind him, other people appeared one after another. Some of them were actually known by Gu Zhengqing. They were Fang Yu, the son of the official servant whom he saw that day, and Lan Zhuofeng. The others were the sons of Du Meng, the commander of the patrol city. Du Hao, as well as other princes of the aristocratic family, as well as their entourage and guards, there are more than a dozen No. 20 people.

"See His Royal Highness Mausoleum." Except for Mu Qianfan, everyone hurriedly saluted.

Gu Zhengqing, Xifeng and others also saluted Mu Qianfan, "I have met King Rui."

"There's no need to be too polite." Mu Qianfan said.

Gu Zhengqing and the others got up.

But Mu Changfeng didn't make a sound, and the group of people who knelt and saluted to him didn't dare to stand up, and the atmosphere was still solemn.

Mu Qianfan was taken aback when he knew that the person behind the thorn bush was Mu Changfeng, and was relieved to see that none of them were injured, but now he raised his heart after seeing Mu Changfeng's sullen face.

"Brother Wang, I'm sorry, but my little brother was reckless. I was too busy chasing that wolf and didn't realize you were here." Mu Qianfan apologized sincerely.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the people behind him also rushed to plead guilty, and there was a lot of pleading immediately.

"It's my subordinate's fault." "No, no, it's my subordinate's fault." "It's my subordinate's fault." "..."

But Mu Changfeng still didn't say a word after that, everyone knew that he was in a very bad mood now, even Mu Qianfan was a little uncertain whether Mu Changfeng would make trouble.

"Brother Wang... This is my brother's fault. If you punish him, you must bear it. Don't be angry." Seeing that the atmosphere was so stiff, Mu Qianfan had no choice but to speak again.

Gu Zhengqing saw that Mu Changfeng still had no intention of opening his mouth. Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming more and more rigid, he became bold for some reason, and secretly reached out and tugged at the sleeve of Mu Changfeng's hand behind his back.He knew that Mu Changfeng had a plan, and if he had an argument with Mu Qianfan at this time, it would definitely be affected.

But who knew that Mu Changfeng moved a bit, and then suddenly grabbed Gu Zhengqing's hand with his backhand.

Gu Zhengqing: ...

Oops.

What the hell is he doing? Now he is caught by the prince.

For a moment, Gu Zhengqing also raised his heart, fearing that Mu Changfeng would be angry, but he didn't dare to move the hand that Mu Changfeng was holding.

The people on the opposite side couldn't see their little gesture, only Xifeng and others saw it. Unlike Gu Zhengqing's remorse and fear, they felt a different kind of intimacy, just like Mu Changfeng's hug just now.

"Get up." Mu Changfeng finally spoke.

Mu Qianfan heaved a sigh of relief, and the people behind him also heaved a sigh of relief.

Mu Changfeng finally let go of his hand, Gu Zhengqing withdrew his hand like lightning, lowered his head slightly and his heart was beating so hard that he didn't dare to move.

At this time, the surprised gazes of the group of people over there cast their gazes on Gu Zhengqing. Gu Zhengqing raised his head and looked over, and found that the owner of those gazes was Lan Zhuofeng.

Gu Zhengqing nodded expressionlessly, said hello, and then looked away from him.

Lan Zhuofeng froze in place slightly in surprise, apparently he did not expect to meet Gu Zhengqing here, and Gu Zhengqing was with King Ling.

The broken arrow on the ground fell into Mu Qianfan's eyes, he secretly guessed the situation here just now, and asked, "Brother Wang, are you all okay just now?"

"Not dead yet." Mu Changfeng said.

Mu Qianfan choked for a moment, and looked at him with a guilty conscience, "It's my brother's fault."

"Of course it's your fault, it won't be mine." Mu Changfeng said.

Mu Qianfan froze. He never expected that Mu Changfeng would say this, so... so aggressive, but he reacted quickly after being surprised. He lowered his head and said guiltily, "Then please ask me, my lord." Brother punish."

Seeing him like this, Mu Changfeng's eyes flickered.In the past, Mu Qianfan was like this. When he did something wrong, he would obediently bow his head and admit his mistakes. Even if he was really punished, he would accept it obediently, like an obedient and sensible brother.So he has always regarded him as a younger brother and cared about him more than the other brothers, but in the end he paid a heavy price.

Gu Zhengqing was keenly aware of Mu Changfeng's subtle emotions, and wanted to say something immediately, but he couldn't say it because the occasion wasn't right, and he couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

"Except for the call of the emperor, you are not allowed to step into the hunting ground for these two months and reflect on yourself." Mu Changfeng said, he was indeed punished, but in fact it was not painful.

Mu Qianfan heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that Mu Changfeng would really like this, but he said sincerely on his face: "Yes, my brother listens to Brother Wang."

King Rui and King Ling respected each other as brothers and sisters, and the others seemed envious.

Mu Changfeng indicated that he had enough prey to go back home, and Mu Qianfan immediately said that he was going back too, so a group of people followed Mu Changfeng out of the woods.

Gu Zhengqing quietly followed behind, listening to Mu Qianfan talking to Mu Changfeng in front of him, but he was wondering what Mu Changfeng was thinking at the moment.

Without knowing it, they walked out of the woods and returned to the hunting ground. After returning some horses, a group of people returned to the city in a mighty manner.

During the period, Lan Zhuofeng wanted to get closer to Gu Zhengqing several times intentionally or unintentionally, but he didn't find the opportunity. Before Gu Zhengqing didn't know, Xifeng received Mu Changfeng's wink and blocked Lan Zhuofeng intentionally or unintentionally.Gu Zhengqing didn't know this, and he put all his thoughts on the conversation between Mu Changfeng and Mu Qianfan.

Mu Qianfan tried his best to invite Mu Changfeng to have dinner in King Rui, saying that the cook in the house was very good at handling prey.After hearing this, Gu Zhengqing muttered in his heart, what are the cooks in Prince Rui's Mansion, they are not as good as the dishes made by Chef Chu in their mansion, who will go.

As expected, Mu Changfeng didn't go, he just said that he had something to deal with when he went back, so he took Gu Zhengqing and the others back to the Lingwang Mansion.

When he left, he didn't find a chance to speak from the beginning to the end. Lan Zhuofeng frowned and looked at Gu Zhengqing's back. For some reason, Gu Zhengqing felt that the figures of the two men were very different.

Gu Zhengqing didn't care what the people behind him thought, but he was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Lan Zhuofeng to have friendship with Mu Qianfan. In the last two years of his last life, he saw Mu Qianfan very often but never I saw Lan Zhuofeng by his side, could it be a coincidence?Yes, because of that Fang Yu?

"What are you thinking?" Mu Changfeng said suddenly.

Gu Zhengqing was taken aback, "I didn't think about anything."

"Do you know that young man in blue?" Mu Changfeng asked.

Gu Zhengqing nodded: "Yes, his name is Lan Zhuofeng, he is a wealthy businessman in Nanya Prefecture. Their Lan family's property spreads over half of the south, and they are very rich. A few days ago, my subordinates saw him and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials on the street. Young Master Fang Yu was together, and now they are together again, maybe they have something to do with each other."

"How did you know each other?" Mu Changfeng asked again.

Gu Zhengqing suddenly felt a little embarrassed, he coughed lightly and said, "My lord, do you still remember that this subordinate told you that this subordinate had been engaged before?"

"Remember." A cold light flashed in Mu Changfeng's eyes.

"The woman who divorced her subordinates married Lan Zhuofeng." Gu Zhengqing said.

"Zhengqing is unwilling." Mu Changfeng stopped suddenly and asked him seriously.

Gu Zhengqing was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head: "How is it possible, my subordinates have never thought about it that way."

Then he added: "To be honest, my subordinates are relieved without this relative. But...the subordinates of the Liu family really don't like it very much."

Gu Zhengqing didn't say anything about the despicable methods the Liu family used, anyway, it's all in the past.

Mu Changfeng nodded, it's fine if he doesn't like it.

"Then Zhengqing Club knew Lan Zhuofeng because they paid attention to who your former fiancée would marry?" Mu Changfeng asked.

"That's not the case. The subordinates knew Lan Zhuofeng first, and they got married later." Gu Zhengqing said.

"Oh?" Mu Changfeng said.

"We know each other in the academy, but we don't have much friendship." Gu Zhengqing said.

Mu Changfeng didn't continue to ask, he seemed to be in a good mood after hearing Gu Zhengqing's words.

Gu Zhengqing looked at Mu Changfeng secretly, wondering silently, did this sentence please the prince?
