The first imperial favorite

"Your Majesty, here are the things." The palace lady Ling handed the handkerchief she just brought from the Medicine Pavilion to Concubine Mu.

Concubine Mu accepted the blood-stained white handkerchief with trembling hands, put the handkerchief under her nose and smelled it, tears instantly burst into tears.

She covered her face with a handkerchief and began to cry. Ziling was frightened and asked quickly, "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"

"Go out, you don't need to wait here." Mu Guifei whispered.

Ziling looked at her worriedly before leaving Ningyan Hall.

At the moment when the door of Ningyan Hall was closed, Concubine Mu's crying sounded again, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

If she hadn't smelled the familiar smell of blood again, she would have forgotten where she came from and who she used to be.

Carefully putting away the handkerchief, Concubine Mu Gui sat there quietly, looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, as if immersed in some kind of memory, with a faint smile on her face.

……

Medicine Court——

"Brother Chen, are you still in pain? I don't know if there will be scars, the princess is too hateful! Why did she hurt you like this? You didn't offend her!" Gong Zeyu really couldn't figure out Princess Luyuan What is the reason for framing Gong Haochen like this.

Just mind-boggling.

"With grandpa here, Xiaochen, you don't have to worry about scars, grandpa promises to restore your face to the same as before." Yun Wuyue comforted.

"Thank you, Grandpa." Of course Gong Haochen is not worried about leaving scars on his face, even if Grandpa Wuyue can't help it, he can do it himself.

"It's too cruel to make Xiaochen's face like this." Old Master Mu said distressedly.

"Grandpa Mu, I'm fine." Gong Haochen said, the injury on his face looked scary, but in fact it was just scratched skin, not serious.

"You said it's okay, and you didn't look at how much blood was spilled!" Mr. Mu turned around to look for the handkerchief, but found that the handkerchief was missing. He thought it was thrown away by the maid, so he didn't care.

"It's a good thing the princess doesn't have poison in her nails, otherwise it would be really troublesome." Old Master Mu said again.

Gong Haochen couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, if Princess Luyuan's action was not so sudden at that time, he would not have allowed her to shave her face.

Now, Luyuan County is probably facing being imprisoned in the dungeon. As for the capital crime, he doesn't know if he will be sentenced, but when it comes to murdering the prince, this crime is not a small one.

"Brother Chen, when are we going back?" Seeing that the wound on Gong Haochen's face had been healed, Gong Zeyu asked from the side.

"Let's go back now, it's already late, we have to hurry up." Gong Haochen said while looking at the night outside the window.

"Why? It's late at night, and I don't feel at ease if you rush back. I'm staying with Grandpa Mu." Old Master Mu said.

Not to be outdone, Yun Wuyue said: "Why do you want to live with you? Xiaochen is my grandson, so of course he will go back with me. Just because the emperor is here, I haven't settled with you yet! Obviously Xiaochen is My grandson, why are you running out and yelling?"

"You old monster Yun, what are you talking about? Obviously Xiaochen is my grandson, why did he become yours again? Didn't you say that you have found a successor? Go find your successor and call you grandpa. Me?" Old Master Mu countered.

"The successor I'm talking about is Xiaochen. If you don't believe me, ask Xiaochen if he is learning what I taught him now! You old man, do you know how long I have known Xiaochen? You are a latecomer. Say in front of me that I will steal Xiaochen from you." Yun Wuyue said angrily.

Mr. Mu couldn't believe it and said, "Stop talking nonsense here, you're still old enough to lie here."

"Why did I lie? You old man, don't force your words here, okay?" Yun Wuyue said angrily.

Gong Haochen: ...

Grandpas, can you listen to me?

Mu Qian on the side looked at the two people in front of him with shame, and said: "My lord has already arranged for Young Master Chen's residence, and I will take Young Master Chen to live in the Shenjue Palace later, so don't argue about it."

As soon as Mu Qian said that Gong Haochen was going to the palace later, the two of them were speechless in an instant.

What else can they say?Do you want them to rob people with the prince?Don't you have the courage?

"Go to live in the palace? Don't worry about it, Xiaoyu and I will hurry up and we will arrive at the academy in half an hour." Gong Haochen felt uncomfortable at the thought of going to live in the palace, and hurriedly refused road.

"Young Master Chen, you should stay. Who knows if Princess Luyuan has a loyal follower? If that follower follows you, the journey will be very dangerous." Mu Qian said seriously .

"It shouldn't be that serious! If you put it this way, then I won't be able to go out anymore." If the princess really wants to have a loyal follower, then he is not dangerous tonight, but will be so dangerous every day in the future .

Mu Qian said calmly: "Anyway, the palace is so big and there are many places to live. Young Master Chen, you can stay here. After a night of exhaustion, you should also rest."

Gong Zeyu originally wanted to insist on going back to the academy, but when he thought about what Tiangong Haochen had gone through, he hadn't had a good rest until now, and he changed his mind, "Brother Chen, what Palace Master Mu said is right, why don't Let's stay here for one night. On this day, you went from Huxin Island to the palace, then went back to the academy, and then was taken to the palace. You haven't had a good rest all day. You must be very tired. If you rush back like this , how can the body take it?"

Of course Gong Haochen was tired, but letting him stay in the palace always made him feel uncomfortable.

Looking at the sky outside again, Gong Haochen thought about it and didn't insist anymore, he said: "All right, then I'll spend the night in the palace tonight."

"Then I'll take Young Master Chen to the palace now." Then, Mu Qian said to Yun Wuyue and Mr. Mu, "Old Yun, Grandpa, I'll take Young Master Chen there, you guys go back to rest too. "

Yun Wuyue waved her hand and said: "Go, go, Xiaochen, be careful not to get water on the wound on your face. You can also take this ointment. It will take less than three days for your face to recover."

He handed a bottle to Gong Haochen, Gong Haochen did not refuse, "Thank you, Grandpa."

Mr. Mu thought for a while, then took out a bottle from his pocket, handed it to Gong Haochen, and said, "Grandpa also gave you the same thing, you are quite tired this day, take one before going to bed at night, and the next day Make sure you are in good spirits."

"Grandpa Mu, you are too polite." Gong Haochen reached out to take it.

Mu Qian said: "Grandpa, you're really partial. When I asked you for it before, you still refused."

Elder Mu glared at him, and said, "What are you talking about here, take Xiaochen to the palace quickly."

Mu Qian: ...Who is your grandson?

After coming out of the palace, Gong Haochen asked Mu Qian, "Palace Master Mu, so you are from the Mu family of the Shuiyun Dynasty."

Mu Qian smiled and said, "Well, I'm the fifth child in my family, Young Master Chen, long time no see, how are you doing here?"

"It's pretty good..." Speaking of this, Gong Haochen paused for a while. He looked at Mu Qian, and then thought of the man who was taken away by him. After a moment of deliberation, he said: "Your master Is he also from the Shuiyun Dynasty? Did Beibei come back too?"

If the man came back, he had to hide.

"They... are back." Mu Qian said.

Gong Haochen said "Oh", and said again: "Is your master awake? I was really sorry at that time, because I had something to do, I left alone without telling you."

Mu Qian glanced at Gong Haochen meaningfully, and said to himself: Young Master Chen, don't you have any idea of ​​the real reason why you left at that time?

"He...hasn't woken up yet." Mu Qian thought for a while and said.

"Oh..." The guilty Gong Haochen couldn't say anything more, he always felt that if he said too much, he would reveal his secrets.

All the way back to the palace, the rooms of Gong Haochen and Gong Zeyu had already been packed, Mu Qian asked Gong Zeyu to go to his room, and he took Gong Haochen to the other side.

Standing at the door of the room, Mu Qian said, "Young Master Chen, you should have a good rest, and I will send someone to take you back tomorrow morning."

"If Mu Gong is busy, don't worry about us, we can go back by ourselves." Gong Haochen hurriedly said.

Just after they finished speaking, they heard footsteps coming in from outside the yard. They both looked up at the same time, and saw Xuanyuan Jue in purple walking towards them.

Seeing this, Mu Qian said, "Then I'll take my leave first, and we'll see you tomorrow."

"Hey, wait a minute..." In the end, Mu Qian strode away as if he didn't hear it.

Mu Qian left, but Xuanyuanjue came.

Gong Haochen hurriedly wanted to salute, but was stopped by Xuanyuanjue, "There is no need to be too polite."

"My lord, thank you tonight." During the interrogation, Gong Haochen thanked Xuanyuanjue for always speaking for him. Otherwise, with him as a person with no background, tonight might be in danger.

"How can I thank this king?" Xuanyuan Jue asked.

Gong Haochen was stunned by the question, he didn't think about how to thank the person in front of him, but now that people are asking this question, he definitely can't say no, not to mention that he will stay here tonight.

"My lord has a noble status, there are too many good things, and I don't know what my lord likes." Gong Haochen said.

"You will be in charge of my three meals a day from now on, is there any problem?" Xuanyuanjue said.

"This... I'm sure it's fine, but I have to go back to Bafu Academy, so I can't cook three meals a day for the prince." Gong Haochen was a little surprised that Xuanyuanjue's request was actually this. Let him stay in the palace, that must not work!He has to subdue these five people for the trip to the land of the gods two months later!

"Don't worry, it's fine in the academy, it depends on whether the tutor is willing to repay the king in this way." Xuanyuanjue said.

Gong Haochen: ... Hehe, you have already thought about it for me, what room do I have to refuse?You are the prince and you have the final say!

"Alright then, I just hope that when the time comes, the lord will not dislike my craftsmanship." Gong Haochen said.

Xuanyuan Jue didn't respond, but the look in his eyes became a little strange. After a while, Xuanyuan Jue said "have a good rest" and left.
