Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

The capital, the imperial city government office.

With the screen turned back and forth, only Li Changshou and Gu Fan were chatting alone in the room.

Gu Fan briefly explained his mother's situation.

It was probably because his mother was deceived when she was young, met a scumbag and was abandoned after all, so she made her old parents angry and fell ill.

If it's just like this, it's fine, when Gu Fan was five years old, someone broke into his house in the middle of the night!
"You mean, someone broke into your house in the middle of the night and not only killed your grandfather and grandmother and other relatives, but also injured your mother, causing him to be weak and his health has become more and more serious for more than ten years?"

Regarding Gu Fan's life experience, although he tried his best to conceal it these years, he couldn't hide it from anyone who cared.

You can find out after a little investigation, so Li Changshou knows some of his secrets.

But regarding the strange illness on Gu Fan's mother, it was obviously somewhat beyond his expectations.

"Yes, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the humble job. I was young but I remember deeply. Those people are not like ordinary bandits and bandits. They are ruthless and well-trained. It's more like a premeditated plan to come to my house!"

Over the years, whenever Gu Fan recalled the scenes from that year, he often woke up from his sleep.

It seemed that it had become a nightmare and a knot in his heart that he could never let go of in his life.

"So that's the case. No wonder your family is in decline. I've heard people mention what happened to your grandfather back then. I didn't expect that there are these unknown reasons behind it."

The dignified Minister of the Ministry of War, from the minister of the second rank, although he is a clean and honest official and has no family background, but how can his family's great career fall to this point?
It's still a cold tea, the Gu family was almost wiped out, and those old friends were naturally alienated.

"Hey, you have heard too many words of comfort over the years, and in my opinion, what you need is not simple comfort, but to save your mother's life, and at the same time track down the real culprit who killed your grandfather's family back then."

Li Changshou said lightly, it's not that he is resourceful, but human nature, so there is no need for reasoning and analysis.

"In addition, you hated the person who always abandoned your mother for the first time. At the same time, you also suspect that the person behind the scenes that led to the death of your grandfather's family was that person, right?"

A few simple words won Gu Fan's deep admiration. He knelt on one knee and clasped his fists together and said, "Your Highness is wise, I am willing to follow His Highness."

"The premise for you to follow me is that I will find out the truth for you, and I can also save your mother's life."

Li Changshou waved his hand, seeing that Gu Fan wanted to explain, but interrupted: "You don't need to explain, after all, this is human nature, I appreciate you more than other people who are eloquent and full of words without a word of truth Such a compassionate character."

Gu Fan smiled wryly, with a somewhat relieved expression on his face.

He has held back many secrets all these years, after all he doesn't trust anyone in the court.

Even the demon concubine's followers, or the ex-queen and prince's party, he didn't really have any intention of belonging.

Only now, Li Changshou's heart-to-heart talk changed his attitude a lot.

"Don't worry about this, I won't hide it from you. Now that I'm in charge of the Imperial City Department, I don't have a trusted assistant. I appreciate you more than anyone else, and I will do my best to help you fulfill all your requests. Just treat it as me. What are the conditions for buying your loyalty?"

Li Changshou suggested with a smile while turning on the system to scan.

Sure enough, the system showed that the relationship between Gu Fan and him had increased from the initial 60 points to 75 points.

But that's not enough!
If you want him to surrender and obey his orders, at least he needs to be raised above 80 or even above 90!

"I dare not to be humble!"

"No, you need to have this courage, and you are also qualified to have this courage!"

Li Changshou shook his head, and at the same time emphasized again, "I don't ask you to follow sincerely now. After I fulfill your wish for you, you can choose on your own!"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Fan was shocked!
He has been in the Imperial City Department for many years, and he is used to those high-ranking officials who have one thing on the surface and another on the other side. The so-called promises are all farts.

He didn't even show his loyalty, and he didn't even bother to give him a superficial promise.

However, Li Changshou did the opposite, and he had to say that it was the right medicine.

"Originally, I came to the Imperial City Department today and I have something to do for you, but now I will postpone it for the time being. I will come back with you and diagnose your mother."

Having said so much, it is also a promise and a heart-to-heart.

Does he really think that Li Changshou is the heart of the Virgin Mary, happy to help others?
There must be his purpose, but on the surface it is still serious.

"Your Highness, what is this?"

Gu Fan raised his head in confusion, his mother's illness was not an ordinary case, but the root cause of the disease was caused by being injured by a master back then, instead of seeking an imperial doctor, he went to diagnose it by himself?
Li Changshou didn't waste his saliva in explaining, he grabbed the inkstone on the table a few meters away and fell into his hand.

This kind of hand-picked object can only be done by a master with extremely high skill.

And such an understatement...

Before Gu Fan had time to be surprised, why was the frail and sickly sixth prince possessed of advanced martial arts according to outside rumors, and the next second everyone was stupid!

I saw the inkstone in Li Changshou's hands, and with a light pinch, the hard inkstone turned into powder all over the floor.

"How, do you still think there is a problem?"

Li Changshou asked back with a smile.

Gu Fan took a deep breath, he was not stupid, he was completely convinced by Li Changshou's high martial arts casually displayed.

He shook his head on the spot, "It's a humble job with blind eyes, I didn't expect His Highness to be so powerful!"

"You don't need to flatter me. My supernatural powers don't count. I just broke through to the level of a great master not long ago, but now only you know this secret. Do you understand?"

Li Changshou got up and walked out with a smile. Can Gu Fan understand?
He trembled all over, great master!
A grand master who is less than 20 years old?
He looked at the powder all over the floor, took a deep breath, "I didn't see anything today!"

No matter how proud he is, facing a great master who is less than 20 years old, he will not be proud, but will be in awe and worship.

That is the nature of warriors, respect for the strong!

As for why the sixth prince hides his strength and appears so weak and sick to the outside world, that is not a secret he can delve into.

There are some things that cannot be delved into, otherwise your life will be lost.

……

Shouwang Mansion still has a festive atmosphere.

The maids and servants in the house are all busy preparing.

Many people showed pride and arrogance on their faces. Their master was favored in the court, and the title of prince is now also known as the imperial envoy who holds great power.

The so-called third-rank officials in front of the prime minister's gate, they are now much more prestigious than the doormen in front of the prime minister's gate.

At this time, the backyard of the palace.

But there were two guests.

"what happened?"

Looking at the somewhat messy room, the imperial concubine frowned slightly, and an indescribable light flashed across her eyes.

She quietly came out of the palace to Shouwang Mansion, nominally to visit the newlywed couple, but in fact she had another purpose.

It's just that as soon as I came here, I saw Lin Luoxi tidying up the house. As someone who has been there, can't I see why the house is so messy?
Immediately her pretty face flushed, and at the same time she spat secretly in her heart.

"Your Majesty, this old slave is waiting outside."

Eunuch Cao has always been inseparable from the noble concubine, after all, he wants to protect the safety of the noble concubine.

It was interesting, so he resigned and went out, guarding outside.

There are only two women left. You look at me and I look at you.

Lin Luoxi's jade-like flawless face was also a little rosy, and she lowered her head slightly to pretend to be puzzled, "Master, why are you here?"

"You..." The imperial concubine wanted to reprimand, but when the words came to her lips, she felt a little shy and difficult to utter.

In the end, he was more tactful, "Shou'er's health is not very good, since you have married him, you should consider him."

What I have already said is very tactful, and if I don't understand it anymore, could it be that her majestic concubine directly confronted Lin Luoxi, daughter-in-law and apprentice, and told her not to squeeze Li Changshou dry?

"Disciple knows what's wrong."

Lin Luoxi blushed, feeling resentment in her heart, Li Changshou is not in good health?
She almost beat her to death last night, but thinking about last night made her feel sweet again, she looked up and saw the imperial concubine looking at her with suspicion.

"Xi'er, I have asked you to marry King Shou, do you really have no complaints?"

Lin Luoxi recalled her husband's explanation before leaving this morning, and shook her head after a little hesitation, "I don't dare, Your Highness treats me very well."

"really?"

"The disciple dare not hide anything."

The suspicion on the imperial concubine's face became even stronger, Lin Luoxi was her disciple!
Yes, the two daughters are masters and apprentices, both born in the magic sect, and this marriage is also the meaning of the imperial concubine. Lin Luoxi originally had some complaints and dissatisfaction. Not only did she enter the palace to serve the emperor's old son, but she also married the sick child of King Shou , she was very dissatisfied.

It's only been one night now, and the attitude has changed?
"Is there really no concealment?!"

The noble concubine's voice was raised, and a terrifying light shone in her eyes. At that moment, her aura was even more unfathomable than that little master Cao Eunuch!

Lin Luoxi sighed inwardly, lowered her head and gritted her silver teeth lightly, and then said: "Your Highness's body is not as bad as the master said."

last night……

She was completely convinced.

"What do you mean?"

The imperial concubine's eyes flashed, and she asked.

"His Royal Highness said that he once met a strange person and gave him some panacea to recuperate his body. His Highness also had those panacea to recover his body gradually. Last night..."

"return?"

The imperial concubine's breathing became slightly heavier, and she thought of the elixir that Li Changshou had offered her before.

Lin Luoxi carefully observed the expression of the imperial concubine, recalling the words Li Changshou told her this morning, and then explained: "Last night, His Highness gave the disciple a magic pill, which improved the disciple's skill a lot."

He didn't hide it as he said it, and revealed a faint breath, which immediately made the imperial concubine look shocked!

Incredible!

Ninth-Rank Peak!

Doesn't the imperial concubine know the realm of her disciple's martial arts?
It's only been one night, and he has improved so much, his aura is only one step away from the little grandmaster!
"He, he gave it to you?"

Such an astonishing change, plus the effect of the elixir that Li Changshou offered her in the palace on the little eunuch, and the news that Eunuch Cao arranged for the eyeliner in the Imperial City Department to send back!

The imperial concubine's heart was shaken secretly, and for a moment, there was regret and sadness in her heart, and even some resentment.

"That brat, with such a good panacea, I don't know how many more I will give to this palace, and I will give it to outsiders!"

She didn't want to think about how wary and distrusted Li Changshou she was at the beginning, but now she has overturned the jealousy.

Lin Luoxi nodded half-truthfully, and then said casually according to what Li Changshou taught, "Your Highness said that he also offered the panacea to the master before."

The imperial concubine was silent when she heard the words, and her jealousy became even stronger.

There are also some regrets.

Quickly changed the subject, "What about others, why don't you take a good rest at home early in the morning?"

"His Highness went to the Imperial City Division, saying that he wanted to catch the assassin from the previous few days as soon as possible."

"He is filial."

When the concubine heard this, she felt a little touched again, and wondered if she really owed Li Changshou too much these years?He even arranged for someone to put him to death...

"I know, you stay with him and take good care of him, and tell me if you find anything!"

After all, she went out of the palace quietly and couldn't stay for a long time. The imperial concubine got up and went back to the palace after not staying for long.

Lin Luoxi watched the imperial concubine and Eunuch Cao leave, and finally heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, her expression was complicated. She was born in a magic family, but now she didn't tell the secret that Li Changshou was already a great master.

She knew that she was betraying Demon Sect, but she didn't regret it at all.

"Master, don't blame the disciple, so that the disciple and His Highness's children will not be subject to the magic gate..."

Everyone has selfishness, and she is no exception.

……

"Your Majesty, the Holy Maiden?"

On the way back to the palace, Eunuch Cao asked cautiously.

The imperial concubine closed her eyes and didn't know what she was thinking. Hearing this, she opened her eyes, "Xi'er is at the peak of the ninth rank."

"Ah?! This..."

Eunuch Cao was very surprised.

"Shou'er gave her a panacea last night."

"Could it be the panacea that His Highness gave to the empress last time?" Eunuch Cao was also a smart person, and immediately understood the meaning.

The imperial concubine nodded lightly, and hummed slightly resentfully and jealously, "This brat is really generous!"

Eunuch Cao secretly smiled but could not reveal it, "With His Royal Highness's filial piety to the Empress, if the Empress opens her mouth, His Highness will definitely give you a panacea, and then there may be hope for the old lady who has been injured for many years."

These words also pierced the imperial concubine's heart. Since that attack that year, her martial arts has not advanced but retreated...

And this time on the other side.

Li Changshou was accompanying Gu Fan back to his house.

He is the most benevolent person.

Especially healing people.
