Hearing the words on the fifth day, Mu Changge and Gu Hang glanced at each other before turning their gazes back to the fifth. 。

"My lord, might you please explain the reason for this?"

Chuwu slightly turned her gaze towards Mu Changge, who had spoken.

。The King didn't say anything, but it had something to do with the people who had recently entered the Regent Prince's mansion. 。Upon receiving the answer on the fifth day, Mu Changge nodded slightly and expressed her thanks. Afterward, she did not continue to ask any further questions. 。Upon seeing this on the fifth day, I respectfully bid farewell to the two. 。Only after the figure of Chu Wu had disappeared from the courtyard did Mu Changge and Gu Hang return to sit beside the stone table. 。Mu Changge looked up at Gu Hang, "Do you know who entered the Prince Regent's Mansion?" Although Mu Changge had a good ranking in the previous imperial examination, she felt that she still had much to learn. Besides, she hadn't entered the court as an official, so Mu Changge focused her heart on studying. 。He hadn't paid close attention to what had been happening at the Regent Prince's Mansion lately. 。Hearing Mu Changge's question, Gu Hang didn't answer immediately, but fell into deep thought instead. 。Although he wasn't as oblivious to the outside world as Mu Changge, he was also learning about academics and martial arts. 。Since I knew Qigui would make all the arrangements, I didn't pay too much attention to the trivial matters. 。However, he did hear from the maidservants who cleaned the courtyard that there seemed to be a princess who had moved into the Prince Regent's Mansion. 。

At that time, he still found it unbelievable that a stranger, and even a princess, had moved into the regent's residence.

After all, such a thing had never happened before.

。And now, all who reside in the Prince Regent's Mansion are loyal confidants of Qi Gui. 。Such a princess moving in would certainly stand out. 。From what the maidservant told me, combined with what Qi Gu just said, I'm afraid this time he's looking for us because of that so-called princess. 。

"Gu Hang?"

Hearing Mu Changge's voice, Gu Hang came back to his senses and looked at the Mu Changge opposite him.

。However, he couldn't be completely sure about this matter either, so it was best not to tell Mu Changge about it at this time. 。As for what happened next, it's best to let Qi Gui tell the story. 。Then Gu Hang shook his head at Mu Changge, "I don't know either..." 。Hearing Gu Hang's answer, Mu Changge sighed but didn't press further. 。He cast his gaze upon the chessboard and, with keen eyes, detected an extra black piece upon it. 。He thought carefully about it, confirming there was no mistake, then raised his eyes to look at Gu Hang. 。

"Just now's chess piece, you have already fallen?"

To Mu Changge's inquiry, Gu Hang nodded without any concealment.

。After receiving Gu Hang's answer, Mu Changge did not ask Gu Hang when he fell <<< 。He picked up a white stone with his right hand, surveyed the entire board, and then dropped the piece in his hand. 。

In the midst of their game, time seemed to slip away unnoticed. It felt like only a moment had passed before it was almost time for dinner, and they had just finished a round.

。Mu Changge placed the chess piece in her hand and slightly raised her head, moving her stiff body with a hint of pride. 。Gu Hang, who was sitting opposite him, directly stood up, stretched a big lazy waist, let out a long sigh of relief, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. 。Your chess skills have improved too quickly. 。"Mu Changge smiled and said to Gu Hang," 。At first, Gu Hang still needed Mu Changge to tell him the rules and other things little by little, teaching him bit by bit. 。Even when playing Go against Mu Changge, he lost ten times out of ten. 。By now, Gu Hang, after playing against Mu Changge, though he hasn't reached Mu Changge's level yet, his chess skills are much better than most young masters in the capital. 。Upon hearing Mu Changge's words, Gu Hang smiled and did not reply. Instead, he brought up the topic of dinner. 。For him, this speed was still too slow, not even half as fast as his martial arts training. 。Gu Hang wasn't satisfied with such speed, but he also knew that chess wasn't something that could be easily acquired. 。Mu Changge, hearing Gu Hang's words, unconsciously looked up at the sky. 。It's time to go to the main hall. 。He stood up while speaking. 。Seeing this, Gu Hang left the courtyard with Mu Changge and walked towards the main hall. 。When the two arrived at the main hall, it was still empty. 。Mu Changge and Gu Hang looked at each other, then smiled and walked towards their position. 。

Just as the two had settled down, footsteps could be heard again outside.

。With footsteps getting closer, the figures of Qi Yunyu and Qi Gui appeared inside the main hall. 。Seeing the figures of Qi Gui and Qi Yunyu, Mu Changge stood up and bowed to the two. 。"Your Majesty, brother. Prince" 。Gu Hang, who was sitting beside him, also stood up and bowed to Qi Yunyu. 。"I have seen Your Majesty!" Qi Yunyu nodded slightly, signaling the two to not be too polite. Afterwards, he sat down with Qi Gui on the seat of honor. 。After everyone had sat down, Qi Gui raised his eyes to look at Mu Changge and Gu Hang, and asked: "Are you the envoys from Nanjiang?"Hearing Qi Gui's question, the two looked at each other, then shook their heads together. 。Upon seeing this, Qi Gui cast a glance at Chu Wu who was trailing behind him. Chu Wu then recounted to him the events of the Nanjiang envoy's arrival, the burning of the embassy, and the envoy's lodging in the Regent King's palace, one by one. 。Listening to Chu Wu's calm voice, Mu Changge's face looked a little grim. 。Although he had not entered the imperial court, he still knew what he should know. 。The current situation is somewhat unfavorable for them. 。Qi Gui looked at Mu Changge's worried expression, and comforted her before saying 。So, at the Prince Regent's Manor, seeing the emissaries, one must still be careful. 。Qi Gui didn't voice his suspicions, not wanting to cause the two too much worry, and not wanting them involved in this matter. 。This matter, naturally, will be resolved by them. 。Hearing Qi Gui's words, Mu Changge and Gu Hang exchanged glances. However, seeing Qi Gui's resolute expression, they didn't know what else to say. 。But to truly leave them out in the cold, completely shielded under Qi Gui's protection, they felt a bit reluctant. 。They aren't children anymore. 。Judging from the expressions on their faces, Qi Yunyu had guessed what they were thinking. 。"For now they are keeping a low profile. But should they make any moves in the future, we will naturally inform you as well." 。Hearing Qi Yunyu say this, Mu Changge, even though he had some thoughts in his heart, couldn't express them. So he nodded a little sullenly, but still said 。"Then it's settled. If there's anything needed later, Your Majesty brother cannot keep it hidden." 。Qí Yún yù nodded, agreeing to Mù Cháng gē's request. 。

While Gu Hang, who was sitting beside Mu Changge, watched the scene before him without expressing his stance. He just looked at the eyes of Qi Gui and the two of them flickering, not knowing what he was planning.

。After informing Mu Changge about the envoy from Nanzhang, Qi Yunyu proceeded to recount some happenings within the imperial court and inquired about Mu Changge's proposed solutions. 。Seeing this, Mu Changge immediately knew that Qi Yunyu wanted to test him. 。Then Mu Changge sat up straight, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before elaborating on his ideas. 。While Qi Yunyu was investigating Mu Changge, Qi Gui also glanced at Gu Hang warningly. 。
