Master's Chief Disciple

Chapter 349: The play must be performed well to make it look real.

Compared to his previous carefree and unruly appearance, he is now cold and evil. Song Yunmo noticed her strangeness and wondered if they had known each other for a long time.

"You dispatch personnel to assist General Jinhu in defeating the demon tribe."

"The last general takes command!"

Prince Rui, who originally wanted to say something, now tightly grasped the jade plate in his hand and dared not move. He felt guilty and his back was wet.

He thought to himself that it was a good thing that there was Prince Pingzhao blocking the way in front of him so that the Human Emperor would not notice that something was wrong with him.

"If there is nothing else, then leave the court!"

After he finished speaking, he took Gu Qingtang's hand and left the place.

"Your Majesty, please leave!"

He brought Gu Qingtang to the Chengzheng Palace and asked if she had seen Xiao Che, so she told him what happened before.

"Prince Rui, how should you deal with him? His words and actions just now were very strange. I'm afraid he didn't dare to speak because he saw you were so angry."

Song Yunmo told her that Prince Rui was his third uncle, and that he had taken Prince Rui very seriously before he became a demon cultivator.

But he didn't expect that he would be colluding with the Blood Demon Sect, which really disappointed him.

"Why don't you share my worries, Miss Gu?"

Gu Qingtang refused him. After all, not only was Pei Xuan in the mansion, but even Lu Huaishu was there, so the risk factor was quite high. Not to mention assigning a junior fellow student to follow him,

Even if she let the little fox go, she might not be able to complete the mission. Besides, she had no idea about the situation in Prince Rui's mansion and the number of enemies.

"Since there is no one here, I can only let him do whatever he wants."

"you!"

Gu Qingtang was a little angry when she heard this. She lowered her head and saw that he seemed to be writing something, "Today, Gu Qingtang is canonized as... the imperial concubine... and her title is Lan."

Gu Qingtang's pupils trembled violently. Just as she was about to reach out to grab the imperial edict, he took it away first and held it high. "Miss Gu, don't forget, the play must be performed well so that it can be mistaken for the real thing."

"Then you can just appoint me as an official directly, there is no need to..."

"There is no vacant position in the court right now. The only thing missing is... my imperial concubine."

"If you make me your consort, how can I go out and investigate among the ministers in this capacity in the future?"

"You are my concubine, so naturally I have the final say in everything. How can I allow other ministers to criticize you?"

"I think you should understand what I mean. If I don't give you a name, they will definitely notice the clues."

Gu Qingtang no longer threatened to tear up the imperial edict but sat down on a stool beside him angrily. Song Yunmo smiled and called the Regent to publicize the matter.

The regent took the imperial edict, frowned slightly, and opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Song Yunmo, "I have my own sense of propriety, no need to discuss it further."

He had no choice but to leave the palace with the imperial edict. Gu Qingtang thought that since Pei Xuan and the others were with Prince Rui, they would know the whereabouts of the person behind the scenes.

"Before his death, Immortal Tai Qian revealed that the instigator's surname was Xiao..."

Song Yunmo heard her muttering and his expression froze instantly, "Xiao Che is not from the Blood Demon Sect. He and I have a life-long friendship."

Gu Qingtang sat on the stool with one hand supporting her face, thinking. Now the only one who could keep an eye on Prince Rui was herself.

So after saying goodbye to Song Yunmo, she came to Tiannan Marquis's Mansion and summoned her second body, ordering it to keep an eye on Prince Rui.

As soon as Gu Qingtang left, Xiao Che walked into the Chengzheng Hall with a smile on his face, and drank and talked with Song Yunmo.

"Brother Song, cheers!"

He raised his glass and clinked it with his before drinking it all in one gulp. When he put the glass down, he saw Xiao Che seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Who are you going to send to fight?"

But he just stood up, glanced at Song Yunmo sideways, then weakly picked up a pot of wine and stumbled out of the hall.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I have my own plan in mind."

The Regent came from a distance, glanced at him sideways, and then went into the hall to discuss some matters with the Emperor.

The rumor that a peace agreement could be reached by marrying Princess Yuehua to the emperor of the enemy country had spread like wildfire in the palace half an hour ago.

"Are we really going to agree to the marriage?"

Song Yunmo had a blank expression on his face, as if he had already expected the enemy to spread the news of the marriage. He took a sip of wine and said calmly, "Wait for the right time."

The regent understood his thoughts and nodded to leave when a maid came to the outside of the palace in a panic, "Oh no, Your Majesty, the princess is making a fuss and wants to leave the palace. She has already left Zuili Palace."

Both of them showed surprise on their faces. The Regent looked at him and then left the place.

"You dare to stop me! Even if I have to beat you up today, you must leave."

The regent came to the palace gate and saw Song Wanyin, who was about to shout to leave the palace.

Before anyone could speak, a voice came from the air, "Let her go. There may be many enemy soldiers guarding her outside the palace.

"When she gets scared, she will naturally return to the palace."

A spot of light fell on the ground and Gu Qingtang appeared in front of everyone. At the same time, the Regent also flew here from a distance.

"See Prince Regent."

"Meet the Imperial Concubine."

The Regent glanced at Gu Qingtang and was about to say something when Song Wanyin interrupted him, "Did you hear me? Why don't you get out of my way!"

The four guards looked at the regent beside them with embarrassment. He clasped his hands and said, "This matter involves the safety of the princess. Please think twice."

However, Song Wanyin ignored him and walked out of the palace with the little fox in her arms. When the Regent came to his senses, Gu Qingtang had already left the place.

In a palace hidden in mid-air somewhere in the imperial palace, a figure stood outside the window, looking down at the movement below. The sound of Pei Xuan pushing the door open brought Xiao Yan back to his senses.

"My Lord, there is news."

"There has been no news of Mu Huayan and others causing trouble recently, but... Song Yunmo has taken a fancy to a dancer and has taken her as his concubine."

Xiao Yan smiled calmly, lowered his eyes to look at the green plants on the table, then picked a tender green leaf and walked to the window to throw it down.

As he cast the spell, the leaf transformed into a beautiful flower and floated down, with a sly look in his eyes.

"Go check on Gu Qingtang."

Pei Xuan seemed to understand something and was stunned for a moment before responding to him. Then he called a lot of people here to discuss several plans.

The Regent King immediately reported to the Emperor that Gu Qingtang had let Princess Yuehua go, but the result he got was that it was okay to let her go.

But he didn't understand why he should listen to Gu Qingtang's opinion, and he finally expressed his guess about Gu Qingtang's unknown identity.

"The identity of the imperial concubine is unknown. What if she is..."

"She is just an ordinary dancer. There is no need to doubt her identity."

The Human Emperor's tone was already somewhat annoyed at this moment, so he had no choice but to stop asking questions and left the spot.

Song Yunmo felt a little guilty as he watched him walk away, wondering if he should tell him the truth. However, he had discussed it with Gu Qingtang before, but the time was not right yet.

After he put down his brush, he thought about going to Manchun Garden to relax, but suddenly a guard came to report urgently with a secret order in his hand.

"Your Majesty, the guards who went to support General Jinhu were besieged by many monsters in Wenqi Mountain and their way was blocked."

Another guard came in a hurry to report, "Report! Your Majesty, the soldiers under General Jinhu have killed monsters in many places, but the reinforcements have not arrived yet, and now more than ten thousand people have died."

Song Yunmo held his forehead helplessly and said coldly: "Where is General Youlong? Ask him to send General Moulie and General Yongteng to rescue him."

"Your Majesty, General Youlong is currently fighting against several demon kings. General Moulie and General Yongteng have been dispatched to other places to join the battle."

"The battle situation is not optimistic. Your Majesty, please make a quick decision!"

When he didn't know how to make a decision, Gu Qingtang happened to walk in from outside the hall. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little off, he vaguely guessed something was going on.

But at this time, Gu Qingtang was transformed from his secondary body. His real body transformed into Mu Huayan's appearance and stayed in Tiannan Marquis Mansion and took Fang Hanyu and others out to relax.

As for Prince Rui, she left a few little butterflies to keep watch, so that she would know immediately if anything happened.

At this time, the guard who was kneeling on one knee received a voice transmission and showed the blue jade card. A voice came from the jade card: "Yes, there is help. A female cultivator brought a few cultivators to support us. She seems to be no one else but the well-known God of Killing and War!"

Then the high-pitched voice of General Jin Hu came from the jade token, "All soldiers, follow me into battle and kill the enemy!"

Song Yunmo was puzzled, but wasn't Gu Qingtang here at the moment? How could the God of Killing appear where General Mingyuan and others were?

Gu Qingtang took a few steps forward, held his hands, and said softly, "Now that the war on the front line has been resolved, why don't we go to Manchun Garden to relax?"

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he suddenly picked her up and walked out of the hall. He jumped on his toes, and disappeared without a trace after a few flashes.

On the way, he kept asking Gu Qingtang what was going on, but she didn't tell him and kept talking about other topics. Before they even reached Manchun Garden, she insisted on getting off and walking on her own.

What surprised Song Yunmo was that she took the initiative to hold his hand, and spoke to him in a friendly manner with a smile on her face.

But he recalled a sentence in his mind: they were just acting, it was not real, so the expectation in his heart faded a lot;

Song Yunmo wanted to dismiss the palace maids and other people who were taking care of Manchun Garden, but was rejected by Song Wanyin. She also suggested that he take some time out today to visit other gardens together.

"I wonder if His Majesty is willing?"

Facing the beauty's invitation, he hesitated for a moment, but his mouth couldn't help but agree to her, "You..."

Gu Qingtang placed her fingers on his slightly parted lips and then took him to chat in Manchun Garden. To outsiders, this scene was very warm and loving.

Many palace maids began to spread the scenes of the two interacting, and some even said that they were a match made in heaven.
