Whenever there was a happy event in Gongsun Mansion, no one from the imperial court ever came to congratulate. But this time, Rong Zhen brought people to congratulate with great fanfare. There must be something fishy going on.

"Where's Xue'er?"

The only thing Gongsun Mu was worried about was his young granddaughter, who was carefree all day long and always thought about how to make him happy. This was his life, his root, and he could not let Xue'er suffer any grievance or fright.

"The lady seems to be out."

"Well, please move to the main hall, Your Highness Prince Zhao. I'll be there right away." Gongsun Mu vaguely felt that the court must have something big to tell them this time.

Rong Zhen was wearing an official robe, trendy boots with a green satin and pink base, and an ink-colored shirt. His eyes exuded a romantic charm and his eyebrows were slightly raised. Hearing footsteps behind him, he slowly turned his head. Gongsun Mu was looking at him, his face like a peach petal, his eyes like autumn waves. He was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and saluted King Zhao respectfully.

"Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Zhao. Why did His Royal Highness Prince Zhao come to give me a gift today? I am truly flattered."

Gongsunfu has always kept his distance from the government, and the people of Jianzhong would not have any past with the imperial court. This time, seeing His Royal Highness Prince Zhao sending gifts in such a grand manner really frightened him. Looking at his tall and handsome figure, he was really a graceful and handsome man, with a pair of lively tiger eyes staring at him motionlessly.

Gongsun Mu is over a hundred years old this year, but his bright eyes still make him look vigorous and calm.

"My dear husband, this time you come here not just to give gifts." Rong Zhen's face showed a leisurely, fresh and handsome look. He sat aside, his clear eyes staring at him intently.

Gongsun Mu pondered for a moment. He had no dealings with the court recently, and His Royal Highness Prince Zhao would personally send him a gift, so he dared to ask. When Rong Zhen heard his question, he did not answer him in a roundabout way, but told him bluntly that it would be better for him to stay out of the recent affairs.

In addition, he was attacked by people from Jianzhong before, and came to see him with feather arrows and human heads. All this was enough for Gongsun Mu to understand.

"What? Your Highness suspects that the assassination of a government official is related to the people from the Sword Tomb."

Gongsun Mu finally understood, and asked in a trembling voice while looking into his calm eyes.

Rong Zhen's eyes were like deep pools, and others couldn't tell what he was thinking. He raised his thin lips indifferently, took a sip from the teacup on the shore, and said, "Isn't he from your Sword Tomb?

I have already found out the identity of this person. He is your second disciple, Chang Qing. If I chop off his head, Gonggongsun won't be angry, right?"

Rong Zhen asked in a calm tone, with a hint of playful smile on his face, and murderous intent was revealed in his evil eyes. Lao Gongsun took a step back with lingering fear. The head in the box that day should be that of his second disciple Chang Qing.

"The Sword Tomb has strict rules and will not get involved in court affairs." When Laogong Sun founded the Sword Tomb, he had made it clear that his disciples would not be allowed to get involved in court disputes. Knowing that court affairs are undercurrents, if someone from the Sword Tomb gets involved, there would be no recovery, so a clear line was drawn long ago.

"That's what you said, but if your husband and grandson didn't mean to do that, why would your men be so eager to act? I don't know what you want, but if you are secretly colluding with people in the court to disrupt the government, you'd better stop dreaming about it."

Gongsun Mu heard the threat in his words and took a big step back. His hunched body trembled slightly and he slowly sat aside. "Then what does Your Highness want me to do?"

"Jianzhong should have submitted to the imperial court, but I know your grandson's intentions. I'm afraid he won't be wholeheartedly filial to the imperial court. In this case, please ask your grandson to end his life on his own. Otherwise, the hundreds of people in Jianzhong will suffer. I believe your grandson doesn't want to see a river of blood."

"...I understand." Gongsun Mu closed his eyes in despair.

Rong Zhen left with a group of people and just happened to meet Gongsun Ningxue returning home. She had already taught that arrogant guy a lesson. When she came back, she saw a tall and handsome man coming out of his house. He was tall and slender, and he was really heroic and gentle. Seeing him, he couldn't help but feel his heart beating fast.

"Miss, what are you looking at? Everyone has gone far away."

"Who is that young man? How come I have never seen him before?"

"I don't know either, but judging from his appearance, he should be a well-known figure in the capital."

It was the first time that the maid saw Rong Zhen and she was also attracted by his appearance.

"Forget it, never mind, I still have to go and present a gift to Grandpa!"

Gongsun Ningxue walked into the mansion lively, but saw the servants in the mansion kneeling and crying, as if something important had happened.

"What's wrong, butler? Why are you crying?" Gongsun Ningxue looked at everyone curiously. Seeing that everyone kept silent, she had a bad feeling in her heart. Her bright starry eyes dimmed and she quickly ran into the house.

"Grandpa! Grandpa!" Gongsun Ningxue looked at her grandfather who was kneeling beside her and seemed motionless. She hurriedly helped him to the side. However, when she checked his breath with trembling hands, she found that he had already stopped breathing.

"How could this happen? Go and call a doctor, go and call a doctor to save grandpa!" Gongsun Ningxue was in a panic, her bright eyes suddenly turned panic-stricken. The housekeeper and others wiped their tears and walked forward and said, "Miss Useless, the master committed suicide by taking poison. This poison is a secret poison of the Gongsun family and there is no antidote."

"How could this happen? Grandpa was fine just now, how could he suddenly become depressed and commit suicide by taking poison?" Gongsun Ningxue stared blankly ahead. She kept repeating this sentence in her mind, and grabbed the butler's sleeve and asked coldly, "What happened? Is it related to the man who just left the house?"

Thinking of the man with the mighty and imposing team, he was very unfamiliar. There was an unruly arrogance in his eyes. Could it be that Grandpa's death was really related to him? Seeing that the housekeeper didn't speak, he grabbed the other people and asked them all, but they could only cry and couldn't say a word.

"What happened? Why didn't anyone tell me? Gongsun Ningxue collapsed and sat on the ground. At this time, Gongsun Yan brought gifts to visit Grandpa, but he didn't expect such a big thing to happen in Gongsun Mansion...

The scene changed, and Cheng Shaoyuan and Gu Yunru were finally returning to Beijing after going through untold hardships and crossing mountains and rivers.

I saw a carriage stopped in front of me, and the person who got out was Gu Junyue.
