"Your Majesty, it's late at night, let's rest."

After the old Duke left, the emperor wandered around the palace alone, and Gou Xun followed him with his lantern.

The emperor didn't say where to go, and he felt aimless, and the palace people didn't dare to ask more questions.

"Gou Xun, how long have you been with me?"

The emperor suddenly said this, and Gou Xun was shocked.

"When I go back to the emperor, I have been serving the emperor for almost twenty years." So, no matter who it is or what conditions it is, it is impossible to make him unfavorable to the emperor, but... he is indeed ashamed.

"Yes, it's been twenty years. How many twenty years have you been in this life? You have been serving me so hard and hard for the years. Now that I'm older, it's time to return to my hometown to retire. I'll allow you to leave the palace and enjoy your old age. Are you willing?"

The lantern fell to the ground, Gou Xun knelt down with his knees straight, kowtowing heavily without saying a word, because he could not guess what the emperor said, nor could he hear the emperor's emotions at this moment.

The emperor stopped, looked down at Gou Xun with his hands behind his back, "What are you doing?"

"Slave...Slave..."

"Okay, twenty years, I believe that I will not fail so much. You are just a little greedy. Since you have built such a big farm in your hometown, I think that you have long thought that one day you will go back and enjoy your old age. I will fulfill your wishes and leave tomorrow."

"emperor!"

Gou Xun's face changed drastically, he lay on the ground and shouted loudly. He heard that the emperor was not joking, but really let him leave the palace.

The emperor knew that he was in his hometown, so what else did he not know?

The emperor was able to let him go because he knew that he had never really thought about murdering the emperor before. Even if he sometimes leaked some news, it would be irrelevant.

"Okay, go and clean up, I...I'll ask you a question at the end."

"Master, please ask! I dare not hide it."

Now that things have come to this point, Gou Xun will no longer struggle, and there will be no other place in this palace.

"Did Tao Dingfeng from the Duke's Mansion have some friendship with you many years ago?"

"yes!"

"In recent years, he asked you to help send some people into the palace. Before leaving the palace tomorrow, I will give me the list."

After a brief silence, Gou Xun spoke again, "Yes!"

The emperor nodded and raised his foot toward Chenghuan Palace.

When the emperor walked to the gate of Chenghuan Palace, he remembered that Yu Fei was not in the palace. Yesterday, he said that he wanted to go home to recuperate and accompany his grandfather. How could the emperor refuse?

After all, I feel guilty, that child...

The good thing is that Fei is a wise and wise man. Although he left the palace, he ordered the palace servants to serve him tea and water on time to remind him to have a meal and rest.

These thoughts are rare in this palace now. If he wanted to compete for favor, he would have promised her to promise her a position, and she would be the lord of this harem from now on.

Her literary talent is outstanding, as quiet as a virgin, gentle and transparent, and she is not arrogant or impatient in this harem. She is not as careful as the concubines next to him, making him feel at ease.

After the appointment of the crown prince, let’s do the matter of the establishment of the crown prince.

The emperor looked up again, then turned around silently. Who really wanted to be a lonely man?

Palace of the foreign duke.

As soon as the old Duke left the palace, he received a letter in which there was only a small golden lock, which was brought by Princess Yuanlan when she was one year old.

Xiao Jin was covered in blood on his locks, and the old Duke fell forward with his eyes and black eyes. Fortunately, he was supported by the butler who was serving him.

"Old Duke! This is the princess..."

The housekeeper also saw it at a glance.

The old Duke slowly opened his eyes and grabbed Xiao Jin lock tightly in his palm, "Go and go home!"

Tao Dingfeng didn't expect that his father would enter the palace without any evidence. He had to admire him a little bit. After all, they were still father and son, and he always knew how much his son was.

I don't know if I should feel relieved.

"Dad! I'm back home!"

At the gate of the Duke's Mansion, Tao Dingfeng waited for the old Duke to dress up in normal clothes and saluted respectfully, but the Duke still saw the changes in him.

I don't want to pretend anymore.

"A granddaughter has already died. I don't want to send another one away. Where is the child Yuanlan?"

The old Duke walked towards the mansion step by step and asked directly.

The butler who was holding him couldn't help but tremble.

The princess...is the second master? Why?

"Dad, Yuanlan's child has been crazy since childhood. If the Duke's Mansion had not protected her, she would have gained a foothold in Kyoto City. She is so big and is about to get married. It's time to learn the rules and calm down. Look, I haven't returned home so late, so are my elder brother and sister-in-law. A girl who has not yet been married doesn't come home at night and doesn't look for it. Looking back, my second uncle must be decent and I have to discipline my elder brother and sister-in-law."

The old man twitched his cheeks, his eyes cold, and he looked at his son with a cold sound.

"Do I want to thank you for your elder brother and sister-in-law for disciplined children for them?"

"Then there is no need. As an elder, it should be, dad, it's late at night. Where did you go before you come back. I've told you that you are old, don't worry about so much anymore. Wouldn't you be able to enjoy your old age?"

"I enjoy my old age. I am afraid that I will be too lucky to have such a good son as you. Tell me, where is Yuanlan?"

The father and son were so caught off guard that the night was silent and the surroundings had long been cleared.

The housekeeper protected the old Duke and looked at Tao Dingfeng in disbelief. Although he knew that the master had been checking the second master recently and knew that something was wrong with the second master, he never expected that the second master would really...

Take the initiative directly to the county?

So, what the princess said is true? Second Master... Oh my God, the princess won't say it anymore. That third lady is the second master's flesh and blood. How old will it be? How could he bear it!

"Second Master, Princess...what are you doing!"

"Stop talking, I can't talk to him." The old Duke directly persuaded the housekeeper and continued to stare at Tao Dingfeng, "Tell me, why are you willing to let her go?"

The old Duke felt so sad at this moment when he let his son let his granddaughter go.

"Dad said so, that girl Yuanlan must be fine. Don't worry, Dad, my son is waiting for you here. Several elders in the clan have come. I want to meet you. You are busy during the day and can only wait here at night."

The old Duke suddenly smiled when he saw this son, "Okay!"

He was ready, just in time, he was thinking about opening the ancestral temple tomorrow. It seemed that it was not necessary, so let's go tonight, he chose this day himself.

"Old Xing, go and call the uncle and the others to the ancestral hall. In addition, go and invite several guests into the mansion and tell them that if you disturb the house late at night, you will be unlucky. I will apologize first."

After the old Duke finished speaking, he walked towards the ancestral hall on his own.

Tao Dingfeng's face darkened and he looked at the old Duke's back and followed.

This old thing has indeed been prepared, so let’s see if the old ginger is spicy.
Chapter completed!
