Master's Chief Disciple

Chapter 356: Continue to Investigate Her Identity

As he spoke, he looked at Gu Qingtang standing aside. The ministers below began to discuss, saying that the emperor was wise, or that the emperor was sympathetic to the families of meritorious officials.

But the emperor's next words silenced the ministers in the audience.

"When Princess Lan was still a dancer, she was schemed against by others and was severely injured."

"According to the law... this person should be thrown into the ice prison."

"My dear ministers, how can a guilty person enter the palace as a concubine?"

After that, most of the ministers did not dare to press her any further, and the fact that Gu Lianyin was not thrown into the ice prison was already a sign of extreme tolerance towards her.

The morning court session ended here. Song Yunmo ordered people to find out those who spread the rumors in the palace at that time, punished them and warned them that if they dared to speak nonsense again, the punishment would not be a simple one.

Gu Lianyin, who knew about this, refused to accept it anyway, so she came to the palace alone and found where Gu Qingtang was.

"Gu Qingtang, you stinky woman, how dare you ruin my good deeds."

Gu Qingtang, who was relaxing in Manchun Garden, saw Gu Lianyin attacking her. She did not dodge but pretended to be scared and fell to the ground.

He let Gu Lianyin strangle him with both hands, "You vixen, why are you pretending to be weak!"

The maids around were startled. Some rushed to find someone to deal with it, while others stepped forward to stop it but were beaten to the ground.

Gu Qingtang coughed painfully, tears welled up in his eyes, and he looked frightened and helpless.

Her brother rushed to the scene and was so scared that he tried to pull her away but was accidentally hit and fell to the ground.

"Help, save me..."

Gu Qingtang helplessly stretched out his hands and looked at others for help, but no one dared to approach Gu Lianyin who had gone mad.

"You're ruining my business, Gu Qingtang, go to hell."

After letting her go, she punched her on the shoulder and she fell to the ground spitting blood. Seeing Gu Qingtang fall to the ground, she laughed wildly.

After a moment, he resolutely drew out a sword and stabbed at her. Gu Yin shouted anxiously: "No!"

The sword that was swung at the critical moment was knocked away by a stream of spiritual energy, and Gu Lianyin was injured by a strong force and lost consciousness.

Song Yunmo nervously checked Gu Qingtang's injuries and held him horizontally. She thought to herself that being injured was so painful.

But because she had not made any defense just now and was hit hard by the opponent with all his strength, the hand that was tightly holding his sleeve slipped down.

"Gu Qingtang!"

Soft spiritual energy was sinking into her soft body. The swallowtail butterfly in her body sensed that one of her meridians was broken and wanted to rush out.

But he remembered what she had told him just now, that he must not come out no matter what, otherwise it would cause trouble.

As soon as this thought came to mind, it realized that its master's meridians were recovering.

She heard a voice calling in her ear while she was half asleep, but she couldn't open her heavy eyelids.

When he woke up again, he found himself lying on the couch, and next to him was Song Yunmo, who was sleeping on the edge of the bed.

The people hiding in the dark saw what happened just now, but they also dispelled their doubts about her, thinking that she was just an ordinary concubine who could not cause any big waves.

Pei Xuan informed Xiao Yan of the intelligence he had gathered, but he was met with anger from Xiao Yan. "An ordinary concubine? What solid evidence do you have?"

"Keep investigating her identity. I suspect she is the God of Slaughter!"

"But... she participated in the battle of Tianshui City, and someone saw her enter the Tiannan Marquis Mansion with their own eyes." Pei Xuan said.

"Humph, she is so smart, I really admire her more and more. She can stir up such a big storm with her own strength."

Pei Xuan didn't understand what his master meant by these words, he just felt that his tone was a little cold.

"By the way, if you catch her, don't hurt her. I want her alive."

Pei Xuan responded with confusion and left the place.

Song Yunmo woke up almost suddenly and immediately grabbed her wrist nervously, "Are you... feeling better?"

Gu Qingtang looked at him for a while and shook his head. When he found out that she was fine, he unconsciously hugged her in his arms.

"I've had the water in the Immortal Pond replaced with a healing bath. I'll have someone bring some clean clothes over later."

Gu Qingtang, who was still in a state of numbness, took a long time to respond to him. After confirming that she was fine, he instinctively kissed her on the forehead.

Gu Qingtang's body trembled slightly, and after a moment he lowered his head and hummed.

When she had just finished bathing and changed her clothes, she discovered that the clothes were specially made according to the style she was wearing.

After changing clothes, I found that Song Yunmo was not in the room. When I opened the door, I found that he was waiting by the pillar outside the door.

When he heard the door open and turned around, Gu Qingtang heard a message from deep in his mind that Princess Yuehua had been kidnapped.

The guards following her were all injured. At this time, one of the guards came here with injuries: "Your Majesty, Princess Yuehua has been kidnapped by criminals."

"!!!"

Song Yunmo showed a worried look on his face and immediately asked, "How did you protect her?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It is my fault that I am useless."

Gu Qingtang's message just now was from the little fox. Judging from her tone, she must have been seriously injured. Just when she was thinking about how to go out to save people, Bai Yu and Tang Xuanze tracked down Yue Hua's whereabouts.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Gu Qingtang asked softly.

He turned and reached out to Gu Qingtang. She smiled and walked down the steps. Her hand was about to reach out to him, but she found that the guard suddenly attacked him with a sword.

"careful!"

He reacted quickly, knocked away the attacking sword, and strangled the guard's neck in mid-air. Suddenly, the guard's body kept shaking and finally turned into countless wriggling insects, and then quickly attacked Song Yunmo and the other two.

He stepped back a few steps, picked up Gu Qingtang horizontally, jumped up, waved his hand and burned the insect to ashes.

Gu Qingtang knew at this moment that the person in the dark still doubted her identity, but she couldn't risk letting her second body stay in the palace without the Golden Emperor.

Otherwise, the damage suffered by the secondary body will be fully reflected on the main body, which is equivalent to feeling the same pain as the secondary body. She doesn't know what the person in the dark is planning.

So after explaining things to Song Yunmo, they returned to the room together. She asked Fengdie to summon one of the red butterflies to transform into her appearance and stay in the bedroom.

"Now they are targeting you too, so be careful!"

After Gu Qingtang finished his explanation, he immediately turned into a beam of light and left the place. He had to go and confirm what happened.

She came to the location where Bai Yu and the other two had transmitted the message. There was no sign of fighting at the scene, so she followed the aura all the way to a temple.

She found Bai Yu and the other man cautiously exploring something in the ruined temple, so she moved to where they were.

"Senior Sister, Song Wanyin is not here. We might have been fooled."

She sensed that the butterflies that were originally placed in Prince Lekang's mansion had moved, and through the butterflies she could see clearly what was happening in the mansion.

Then he mobilized his spiritual power to summon his second incarnation and Bai Yu and others to stay where they were. His second incarnation performed some tracking techniques on the spot.

The master arrived outside Prince Lekang's mansion and could tell with his naked eyes that something was wrong here. Not only was the wind turbulent, but there was also a faint flash of lightning in the sky.

"They actually set up a killing array..."

But even so, it was not difficult for Mu Huayan to sneak into the mansion quietly to investigate the situation. She carefully released a few wisps of spiritual consciousness to explore the surroundings.

She entered a room and found the little fox lying helplessly on the bed in human form. But she realized that something was wrong with the room.

At this time, a voice came from outside the door, "Prince, I just found a beauty in the inner room."

"The prince is out and not in the palace. You can do whatever you want."

Song Zhe still showed a lustful look and showed no remorse. He looked down smugly and pushed the door open.

"Hey, hey, here I come, little beauty!"

But just as he was walking towards the bed, he noticed a figure passing behind him. He was so frightened that he turned around to look but saw no one.

He reached out to touch Ruxi's body but it went right through him. Puzzled, he reached out to touch her again.

He discovered that the beauty in front of him was just an illusion. Just as he was wondering if she had escaped, the restriction in the room was triggered.

He looked up and saw a red killing array on the rooftop glowing with blood-red light, followed by countless streams of light falling from the array.

Sensing something was wrong, he was about to turn around and leave when he found that his feet were bound by a lightning bolt and he couldn't move.

"Help, help!"

“Ahhh…”

Mu Huayan had already noticed that something was wrong here. The person on the bed just now was not Ruxi at all, but a phantom set up by the enemy to deliberately lure her in.

The power of this killing array was equivalent to a full-strength attack from a quasi-Immortal Emperor. She realized that the man in the room had long been motionless, and even the subordinates who were listening to the sound outside the door were affected and injured.
