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

Does fame matter?
Whether it is important or not, it depends on where you are.

Li Changshou is not a person who cares about reputation very much, and he also knows that reputation can actually be reversed by means!

Even if the sky is angry and people complain, he still has a way to make the world worship him and look up to him.

However, the reason why he has such confidence is that he has a system!
Gu Fan didn't know this, and lowered his head in fear and gratitude when he heard the words: "It's the humble job that made too much demands, but I didn't expect His Highness to be worried about the reputation of the humble mother, it's the humble job that didn't think carefully!"

"Lingtang pulled you up and brought you up. It is true that you need to be filial to be a son of man. Gu can indeed agree to you. Even if you risk being read by those officials and censors, it is just bad for Gu. An extra addition to your reputation."

Li Changshou lifted Gu Fan up from the ground with a light lift, and he did it on purpose in such an understatement.

You, Gu Fan, have just been promoted from the ninth rank to the junior master. Even if you know his character and temper, you still need to beat him again. Li Changshou is more sober than anyone else about the changeable human heart.

as predicted.

A look of emotion appeared on Gu Fan's face!

He knew best how much his cultivation had improved this time, but he still didn't expect that he would have no resistance in front of Li Changshou. realm?
How could he be made to be like a puppet, unable to move or even kneel down?
Grandmaster, you can't do it to this level, can you?
"Your Highness..."

"Gu can agree to you for the time being, but you still need to go back and discuss it with Lingtang. After all, if you want to go to Jiangnan with Gu, it's not clear whether Lingtang is willing, right?"

Li Changshou behaved very kindly, it was no longer as simple as a corporal who was polite and virtuous.

As if, as he said, treating him as a friend in private made Gu Fan feel grateful, and at the same time, he felt more like a man who died for his confidant.

"Humble job understands, thank you Your Highness for fulfilling it!"

As for how to convince his mother after returning home, although Gu Fan is not sure, he still wants to fight for it. As a son, he never wants to see his mother die young and die young. Bit by bit, naturally make up your mind.

"Do you feel unsure about persuading Lingtang?"

Li Changshou saw what Gu Fan was thinking at a glance, and pointed it out on the spot with a slight smile, and Gu Fan also showed a wry smile when he heard the words.

That's why I nodded helplessly, "I don't want to hide your highness from my humble position, there are indeed some, I can't do anything about it."

"I understand that you can also see Lingtang's temper when you get along with Lingtang these days. If you go back and explain this frankly, with Lingtang's temper and character, you will not agree, but will reprimand you instead."

The corner of Li Changshou's mouth almost revealed a smug smile, but fortunately he quickly covered it up, and then showed a considerate attitude to help Gu Fan analyze it.

"Humble mother... really has this personality." Thinking about every little thing from childhood to adulthood, Gu Fan shook his head helplessly.

However, he did not give up, it was just that he had no choice but to frown and think hard about countermeasures.

He is very clear that women pay great attention to fame and integrity, and a woman who raised him alone like his mother is already enough to be pointed out by others, if she doesn't clearly appear next to the current prince.

I really don't know how many gossips will be caused, and he is highly regarded by Li Changshou, and he will soon become the envoy of the imperial city. With his eyes closed, he can imagine how many foul words there will be from the outside world.

"So this matter cannot be directly explained to Lingtang."

Li Changshou reminded him very "kindly", and he believed that Gu Fan could understand the implication.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Gu Fan seemed to have grasped something somewhere. He is also a smart person, and his mother's name is not a trifling matter.

It's just that I didn't think about it that much for a while, and now after being reminded, I immediately thought of something.

"What do you mean, Your Highness?"

Li Changshou tapped his fingers on the table lightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "Lingtang is a person who values ​​love and righteousness. Gu also admires you for being able to raise you alone."

"If you want to facilitate this, there is a method available."

"No matter what the method is, I am willing to give it a try!"

He didn't even mention it, so he agreed?Sure enough, after becoming a fool and loyal person, no matter how smart a person is, his IQ will drop?Or do you lose your vigilance?
Li Changshou was also a little emotional for a while, but fortunately, Gu Fan's ability to handle affairs made him very relieved.

Otherwise, even for his mother's sake, it would be impossible for him to promote Gu Fan to the position of imperial envoy.

"I want Deputy Envoy Gu to go back and act in a play!"

"Acting? What does Your Highness mean?"

……

Sunset, sunset dusk.

The afterglow of the setting sun renders a beautiful picture of the capital city.

However, looking at the door of his own house, Gu Fan's face was twitching, he tried to push the door several times but failed, his expression was cloudy as if something was on his mind.

Turning around the door a few times, finally with the sound of creaking, someone opened the door from the inside and saw Gu Fan who was hesitating at the door.

"Fan'er, why didn't you come in when you came back?"

Behind the door reveals a peerless and beautiful face, without makeup but natural beauty, without any traces of time left on his face, a simple light yellow dress sets off his graceful figure, and his eyes are like autumn water Like a smile.

"Mom, the baby just came back."

Gu Fan lied in a hurry, forced a wry smile and entered the door of his house. Seeing his expression, how could Gu Xiaoya not see that her son had something on her mind?

She had sensed someone outside just now, but she didn't expect it to be her son, and seeing that he was preoccupied, she also showed a puzzled look, "What happened in the Imperial City Division?"

"No, nothing..."

Gu Fan coughed lightly to change the subject, Gu Xiaoya couldn't ask any more questions after seeing this.

It's just that she carefully discovered that the aura of her son today is very different from that of the past. Thinking of what the man who disturbed her mind said not long ago, she forgot to continue asking.

"Fan'er's skill has really improved a lot, he didn't lie to me."

As a mother, Gu Xiaoya naturally also hopes that her son will become a dragon. Whether it is in official career or martial arts, she has a faint joy and gratitude in her heart.

Born in a magic sect, she knows very well that there are very few panaceas in the world that can increase a person's skill several times in a short period of time, let alone allow a person who originally only had an eighth-level skill to become a small person in a short period of time. guru.

She also tried so hard to use so many treasures of heaven and earth to heal her wounds. Even if she didn't want to pay for these kindnesses, she knew that she would never be able to repay them in this life...

However, in the following time, Gu Fan was always preoccupied and hesitant to speak. He seemed to want to say something several times, but in the end he kept silent for some reason.

This also made Gu Xiaoya more and more curious.

"Fan'er, do you have something to say to Auntie?"

Seeing Gu Fan's expression and reaction, she knew that there must be something bothering him, so she couldn't help asking.

Gu Fan smiled wryly, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from my mother."

"Can you talk to A Niang? A Niang can also give you advice."

In recent years, Gu Xiaoya has often advised Gu Fan. The mother and son have depended on each other for many years. Gu Fan also sees his mother's behavior in the world.

So he thought for a while, and said, "A bizarre case happened in the capital yesterday, and now we are investigating it thoroughly."

A strange color flashed across Gu Xiaoya's eyes, and then she quickly covered it up.

Fortunately, Gu Fan was not wary of his mother and did not notice this scene, otherwise it would definitely arouse suspicion, but at this moment he continued, "His Royal Highness is about to go to the south of the Yangtze River to serve as the envoy of the East China Sea, the governor of Yangzhou , so I am going to report to His Majesty, let the boy succeed the Imperial City envoy, and at the same time take full responsibility for the thorough investigation of the case."

"He's going to Jiangnan?!"

Hearing that Li Changshou was going to leave the capital, Gu Xiaoya exclaimed for no reason, but then realized it was too obvious and quickly covered it up, "His Royal Highness Shouwang thinks so much of you, Fan'er?!"

"His Highness is so kind to the boy and mother. Today, His Highness has told the boy that he has cured the mother of the stubborn illness two days ago, and now he wants to promote the boy to be the envoy of the imperial city. It's just..."

just what?
Gu Fan looked embarrassed and hesitant, he opened his mouth a few times as if he was worried, and he couldn't continue.

He didn't know that his mother was also a little confused at this moment. Firstly, she heard that Li Changshou was leaving the capital for the south of the Yangtze River. Will they never see each other again after being separated by thousands of miles?

In addition, when Gu Fan mentioned the capital murder case, she felt a little guilty, worried and secretly annoyed why Li Changshou would hand over this matter to her son for a thorough investigation. Isn't this embarrassing her?

Just as Li Changshou guessed, the mysterious master who slaughtered all the disciples and masters of the Demon Sect was none other than Gu Xiaoya.

After she regained her skills, she directly avenged the more than 100 members of the Gu family back then!

With her great master's strength and cultivation base, as well as her deep knowledge of many mechanisms and secrets of the Demon Sect, she suddenly came to kill her in the middle of the night, and let her go all the way into a land where no one was there.

In the end, only one elder from Momen escaped desperately, and all the others died in her hands.

It can be regarded as a good way to let go of the grievance back then, and it is also the first step for her to take revenge.

But she didn't expect that the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not conduct a thorough investigation after the matter became a big deal, so how could it fall on the head of the Imperial City Division?The key is to let Gu Fan take full control of it?
Find out, how will she explain to her son?

If it can't be found out, will Gu Fan be responsible for ruining his official career?
"Just what?"

"His Royal Highness regards the boy highly, and at the same time, he has become a thorn in the side of the prince and many people in the court. The case yesterday may be related to the prince, so the boy is worried that someone will harm the mother."

After Gu Fan managed to express what was in his heart, it was Li Changshou who told him to put on a play when he came back tonight.

However, he still failed to listen to Li Changshou's meaning in the end, but slightly adjusted some rhetoric in the plan.

"Auntie is fine, you don't have to worry about Auntie."

Hearing that it was because of these worries, Gu Xiaoya secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she didn't meet those people from the Demon Sect in the capital, she was almost in no danger.

As for the prince?

She didn't take the prince seriously at all, but she couldn't explain it clearly to her son.

"The boy wants to ask his mother for something."

"You say, Auntie promises you."

"My son hopes that mother can go to the south of the Yangtze River with His Royal Highness..."

After finally expressing what was in his heart, Gu Fan felt a little nervous. Outside, he was regarded as the cruel and ruthless executioner of the Imperial City Commander by countless people, but at home, he was just a child who hadn't grown up.

"Go, go to Jiangnan?"

Gu Xiaoya never thought that her son would make such a request to her. She didn't react for a while, and then her pretty face changed and she asked, "Fan'er, why did you let Auntie go to Jiangnan? Could it be His Royal Highness Shou Wang?" ..."

"No! It's not His Royal Highness's request, but the child's own decision!"

Gu Fan shook his head hastily, but in fact Li Changshou's exhortations to him were indeed to push the blame to Li Changshou, asking him to come back and tell his mother that one of the conditions for his promotion was to send his only family member to Li Changshou as a hostage .

But in the end, instead of following the plan, he changed his mind.

"Why? Can you tell Mom the reason?"

"My son wants to use this to show his allegiance to His Highness, so he wronged his mother to stay with His Highness. It is a child who is not filial, but now the situation in the capital is changing, and he thinks that if his mother can stay with His Highness, not only can he gain His Highness's trust, but also can stay away from her. This court dispute."

These are all what Gu Fan thinks in his heart, and what he said from the bottom of his heart!

If my mother was with His Royal Highness Shou Wang, not only would she be able to continue recuperating her body, it would indeed be better than staying in the capital.

He felt that he was right to make such an arrangement, "Baby believes that His Highness will take good care of mother!"

Gu Xiaoya: "..."
