Zhe Furong: After widowhood and rebirth, she was pampered by treacherous ministers

Chapter 209 A Better Gift

A plainly dressed man in ordinary clothes walked up the steps of Duke Dingguo's mansion leisurely, but was stopped by the guards.

"Ben... I'm here to see your son."

The guard looked at the person in front of him up and down, with a serious expression, and said in a serious voice: "Bold! How can you call your son directly! Do you know where this place is? You can see the plaque clearly, this is Dingguo Palace."

The guard looked at it several times, but still couldn't see the flower.This convinced him that the person in front of him was an ordinary citizen.And when did the son of the world have any contact with the common people?He turned his head to look at the other guards on the left and right, and the other guards said that they hadn't seen it.

"I know this is Duke Dingguo's mansion. Didn't I say I'm looking for the prince?" The fifth prince was not annoyed, raised his head slightly, and nodded.

The guards encountered difficulties, but Dingguo's mansion always taught them not to bully the weak, so they looked at each other in blank dismay.

"This……"

The man smiled helplessly, he had deliberately dressed up like this to come to Dingguo's mansion, but the result was still the same.

He took out a golden token and showed it to the guards.

At this time Song Yan noticed something strange at the gate of the mansion, so he rushed over to take a look, and he recognized the fifth prince at a glance.

"His Royal Highness Fifth Prince." Song Yan hurriedly pushed aside the guards blocking the front, and bowed politely.

When the guards heard Song Yan's shout, their legs went limp in shock.

"What are you doing? Why don't you quickly salute His Highness the Fifth Prince? If His Royal Highness finds out, I won't be able to spare you."

After being taught by Song Yan, several people quickly followed Song Yan and bowed down.

"Five... Your Highness the Fifth Prince! Please forgive me, Your Highness, the Fifth Prince! It's the little ones who are so blind that they didn't recognize His Highness." The crisis group was panicked, their voices were trembling, and they were terrified that they would be killed by anyone from the Fifth Prince or the Eldest Prince. One party is punished.

The Fifth Prince didn't seem to care, and he carefully put away the token.

Smiling and said: "It's okay, the reason why I am dressed like this today is that I don't want others to find out that I am here. I have been to Dingguo Duke's Mansion before, and you often see me. But today I don't recognize it, only Song Yan recognizes me." , It shows that the king's disguise is still very successful." The fifth prince did not blame the subordinates at all, but only talked complacently about his own attire today.

Seeing that the fifth prince didn't take this matter to heart, the guards were all relieved and admired in their hearts, those who really get along with His Royal Highness are all gentlemen.

"In the future, all of you will keep your eyes open and watch carefully. You can't do it again. Are you clear?!" Song Yan said seriously.

"It's clear!" Everyone said in unison.

Afraid that someone would be staring at him, and there were so many passers-by, in order to avoid trouble, Song Yan just wanted to invite the fifth prince in quickly.

"Fifth prince, it's been a long time. His Royal Highness is in the main hall, please come here." Song Yan made a gesture to invite the fifth prince to enter. The fifth prince nodded and followed.

Gu Mo had heard chattering at the door a long time ago, you were talking to me, but he couldn't hear clearly.

The mind was relaxed, and he didn't take it seriously, just sipping the tea in his hand lightly.

After dinner in the Jiang family yesterday, Gu Mo knew that the Jiang family now fully trusts him and has high hopes for him.

He is happy, which means that he has won the satisfaction of Jiang's family, and also means that he and Jiang Yue are one step closer.

But these days, the hands of the queen and the prince are getting longer and longer.Especially the two incidents of the assassination in the Palace of Preserving Harmony and the summoning of Jiang Yue into the palace, Gu Mo's head hurt more and more when he thought about these.Although he was able to use the power given to him by the emperor to suppress the actions of the queen and the prince, it was only for a while.

The queen and the prince often make some moves behind their backs, and Gu Mo also knows that they will not give up for the sake of reserve position.

Gu Mo was so engrossed in his thoughts that the debate outside the mansion suddenly stopped and he didn't notice it.

It wasn't until a strange person appeared in front of him that Gu Mo came back to his senses.

His brows were solemn, very stern, and there was a bit of gloom in his eyes, as if there was an inaccessible chill all around him.But the handsome and cold face and perfect jawline optimized his temperament. This is Gu Mo's usual expression.

He raised his eyes and looked at the man in front of him. The man smiled from ear to ear, as if he looked familiar.

Gu Mo became annoyed, he hated this, he had to search for what he wanted or wanted to find in the many memories.

He exhaled lightly, trying to calm himself down a little, and carefully looked at who this man was.

Seeing Song Yan still standing behind this man, Gu Mo was inexplicably angry in his heart.

Whose Dingguo Mansion is this?Why did Song Yan do things so safely for many years, but let this ordinary person in today? Or, this person has a lot of background?

"What? With this outfit, even you can't recognize me?" The man said, his eyes widened, and he looked at Gu Mo in disbelief.

The familiar voice made Gu Mo focus on the man's face again.

"Fifth prince?" Gu Mo immediately reacted this time.

"Exactly, why is Song Yan the only one who recognized this king? It's really strange." The fifth prince muttered, Song Yan was modest, and bowed his head in front of Gu Mo.

Gu Mo smiled, and called the maid to take the teacup for the Fifth Prince, and refilled him with tea himself.

"Why are you dressed like this today?" Gu Mo asked.

"Oh, I don't want to either. But the queen and the prince have made too many small moves recently. I'm afraid that if I don't come here carefully, the news will spread to the East Palace now." The fifth prince seemed to be tired at the door just now. Alright, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

"What? I heard that you went into the palace to present gifts to the emperor. How did the emperor react? Seeing that you are not in a very happy mood, don't tell me the emperor doesn't like it?" Gu Mo refilled tea for the fifth prince.

Suddenly, Gu Mo seemed to have mentioned the key point, which made the fifth prince excited instantly. He put the teacup aside suddenly, making a loud noise.

"This king came here today just to talk to you about this matter!" The fifth prince's expression changed instantly, and he became full of resentment.

"It's not easy to find ambergris from Beifu's army. I rushed to the palace full of enthusiasm. The emperor was quite satisfied at first, but who knew that a prince was killed halfway."

The more he talked, the more angry he became. The fifth prince felt his mouth dry and drank another cup of tea.

"Drinking tea too quickly will hurt your body. Besides, such precious tea will be wasted. As a tea expert, you shouldn't do this." Gu Mo looked at him and said lightly.

"..."

Hearing that Gu Mo didn't make any comments on that matter, and even scolded him and teased him, the fifth prince felt even more uncomfortable.

Noticing the fifth prince's weird expression, Gu Mo slightly raised the corners of his lips.

"Don't worry, no matter how good the prince's gift is, it can't compare to yours."
