A little devil has arrived at the Marquis's mansion, and all the powerful officials in the cour

"Little Celestial Master Mutuo escaped?"

The emperor was greatly alarmed, and his eyes blazed with fury.

The guards, eunuchs, and palace maids of Jiaoyang Palace knelt on the ground.

"Take them all out and behead them!"

The emperor's words became the executioner's blade, and it finally fell.

"Your Majesty, spare my life!"

The instinct for survival drove them to crawl on the ground and beg for mercy from all sides of Jiaoyang Palace.

"Uncle Emperor, why are you angry?" Renbao swaggered into the palace. Hearing that the Emperor was angry in Jiaoyang Palace, his little chubby legs bounced up and down.

Wei Huaihao accompanied her into the palace.

When the emperor saw her, his expression softened, and he waved to her: "Little Celestial Master has returned to the capital. You've lost weight while you were at the border for a while."

"Thanks to you, we were able to win this great victory!"

Renbao pinched the little fat in her belly, her eyes showing a hint of confusion.

She feels like she's gained weight!

She ate jerky every day in Yumen City until her cheeks ached from chewing.

"What is Your Majesty doing?" Wei Huaihao asked softly.

Upon hearing this, the emperor frowned and told him about Mu Tuo's escape from Jiaoyang Palace.

Renbao exclaimed, "He ran away?"

She thought of the evil spirits that had escaped from the Netherworld, and couldn't help but purse her lips, feeling somewhat unhappy.

The emperor nodded solemnly.

"They may have made mistakes, but you, Uncle Emperor, also made mistakes. Killing them won't change what happened. But they're dead, and that's that." Renbao climbed onto the chair, looked at the Emperor at eye level, and said earnestly.

The emperor was stunned.

The guards and palace maids were also stunned, and they all looked up at her, tears welling up in their eyes.

Such a noble person as the Little Celestial Master actually spoke up for them.

Wei Huaihao advocated that emperors should govern the country with benevolence, but he worried that Renbao's straightforwardness would displease the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the young celestial master is right. The death of a bunch of people will not bring back Mutuo," Wei Huaihao said.

The emperor was silent for a moment, then waved his hand: "Each person shall receive three strokes of the cane. Go down."

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty."

The faces of the palace servants in Jiaoyang Palace were filled with the joy of surviving a calamity.

Renbao consulted the oracle and exclaimed in surprise.

The emperor and Wei Huaihao looked at her.

"Uncle Emperor, the divination for Mutuo's escape from Jiaoyang Palace indicates an external omen." Renbao reached for the mung bean cake on the table, her throat bobbing; she hadn't had this in a long time.

The emperor pushed the entire plate of mung bean cakes in front of her, and upon hearing this, exclaimed in surprise, "Does the Little Celestial Master mean there's a traitor?"

Renbao ate a piece of mung bean cake one after another, and nodded, "Yes!"

"That young Taoist master might be able to figure out who the traitor is," the emperor pressed.

Renbao shook his head: "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."

The emperor was somewhat disappointed, but he understood. He couldn't rely on Renbao for everything. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he ordered a thorough investigation into the matter.

The Su Residence.

Su Xuance and his wife, along with Su Shuying, eagerly awaited Renbao's carriage.

"Compal!" "

The three of them rushed toward Renbao.

Pei Yuru was the first to hug Renbao tightly, kissing his forehead with her eyes red: "I've missed Mother so much!"

"I miss my mother, my father, and my sister!" Renbao shouted.

Su Xuance reached out his hand: "Let Daddy hug you."

Su Shuying retorted, "I want a hug too, sister!"

The family of four was reunited in joy and harmony. Upon hearing that Renbao had returned to Beijing, the cook immediately prepared a Manchu Han Imperial Feast for him.

Meanwhile, at the Pei residence.

"Father, Mother, your unfilial son has returned." Pei Gufeng knelt down as soon as he entered the mansion and announced loudly.

The room was filled with delight.

With tears in her eyes, Fang held his hand and said, "Feng'er, it's good that you're back."

Pei Mu patted his shoulder, his words conveying a myriad of emotions.

The reunion is complete.

Liu followed Pei Gufeng back into the house. From the moment he appeared, her heart had been pounding.

"Husband," Liu called out shyly as she entered the room.

Pei Gufeng nodded slightly.

Liu tried to get close enough to undress him, but he avoided her.

She froze, her face turning somewhat awkward.

"I'm going to the study to talk to Father about something." Pei Gufeng nodded slightly to her, then turned and left the room.

Liu's tears welled up instantly.

She married into the Pei family, and on their wedding night, Pei Gufeng received an imperial decree to go to the northern frontier.

His first return home was met with such coldness.

A bitter feeling welled up in Liu's heart. She really wanted to rush up to Pei Gufeng and question him about why he had treated her this way.

After walking a few steps, she stopped again and went to the Su residence. She wanted Renbao to calculate her and Pei Gufeng's birth dates.

If you are an unhappy couple, then get a divorce!

"Madam Liu, it's really unfortunate. The young Celestial Master was invited away by Prime Minister Cui shortly after returning to the manor," the steward said apologetically as he came out to greet her.

Liu was taken aback, then smiled faintly: "It's alright, I'll come again tomorrow."

"Second sister-in-law." Pei Yuru came over upon hearing the voice, and upon seeing it was Liu, she affectionately took her arm.

Liu lowered her head instinctively: "Yuru."

Pei Yuru sensed something was wrong with her voice, bent down to look at her face, and her expression changed: "Who bullied Second Sister-in-law? Tell me, and I'll get revenge for you!"

Knowing that Pei Yuru was impatient and fearless, Liu quickly said, "Let's go inside and talk."

...

The entire Cui family eagerly awaited Renbao's arrival.

"The Little Celestial Master has arrived!"

As the butler's voice entered the main hall, the seated people quickly stood up to greet him.

"Greetings, Little Celestial Master." Old Madam Cui leaned on her cane, her voice steady. As soon as she saw Renbao, she handed him the golden leopard she had prepared beforehand. "This is a gift from this old woman to you."

How majestic! Renbao's eyes lit up when she saw the lifelike and imposing golden leopard. She accepted it gracefully, saying, "Thank you, Madam, Renbao likes it very much!"

Then, her eyes darted around and settled on Prime Minister Cui.

With his servants helping him bow, Prime Minister Cui said, "I heard that the Little Celestial Master has just returned from the Yumen Pass. You should have been resting at home, but I invited you to my residence. I apologize for any offense caused."

"It's okay." Renbao climbed onto the stool herself and added, "You know my rules, right?"

Rules? Prime Minister Cui was taken aback.

He didn't find out any rules.

Tao Xiang coughed and rubbed her thumb and forefinger together.

Renbao's rule was that money had to be given.

Prime Minister Cui suddenly realized and quickly said, "I know, Little Celestial Master, don't worry."

Renbao, smugly resting his chin on his hand, said, "These days you get out of breath after walking just a few steps, and you even experience bed paralysis when you sleep. It's because you've been haunted by a mad ghost, and it's right on your back right now."

"One hundred taels, I'm taking it!"

After Renbao finished speaking, she stretched out her chubby little hand and looked at him with bright, sparkling eyes.
