After leaving Dabaoen Temple, Chen Qiongnian did not return to the mansion directly, but went to visit his teacher Lu Buyao. He understood that he had angered the teacher. He thought that Lu Buyao had not yet disappeared, but after meeting him, he realized that Lu Buyao was not really angry, and should have just made a gesture to show to other colleagues.

"Mr., the student is here to apologize to you."

"There is nothing to apologize for. I'm not too confused, I can tell the difference." Lu Buyao's smile was very kind.

"But..." Chen Qiongnian still clearly remembered the momentum of Lu Buyao's insistence on pursuing the whole thing.

Lu Buyao sighed and said, "The Empress Dowager no longer trusts me. You should come here less in the future to avoid gossiping from others."

"It's understandable that I'm here to visit my mentor. If others like to say it, just say it." Chen Qiongnian couldn't help but think of the recent rumors that bothered him, and he might not be able to calm down for a while.

Lu Buyao said: "When people get old, they should retreat bravely. I missed the best time and delayed your future."

Chen Qiongnian looked at Lu Buyao in surprise, wondering why he said this. Although Chen Qiongnian complained about him in his heart, those complaints were pressed down on his heart and he had never revealed them.

Lu Buyao said: "I have always regarded Sang Jingtian as the biggest threat, but now I realize that the real powerful figure in the court is the Queen Mother."

Chen Qiongnian dared not speak, and even in front of the teacher, he dared not comment on the Queen Mother Xiao Zirong unscrupulously, because Lu Buyao was unfathomable, and he could not judge Lu Buyao's real motive. Three generations of imperial teachers, if there were no extraordinary methods, how could he become the prime minister of a high-ranking minister?

Lu Buyao said: "If it were the usual, these recent rumors would be enough to destroy Wei Yu and your future, but this time..." He shook his head.

Chen Qiongnian said: "I believe that the Empress Dowager can see everything clearly."

"It's not that she is very careful, but that she has a big vision. Not to mention that this is not the case, even if it is true, it will not affect Wei Yu's entry into the palace."

Chen Qiongnian didn't like to listen to these words. Although he knew that Lu Buyao's intention was not to ruin his daughter's reputation, he could just feel uncomfortable and he had to endure it. With Lu Buyao's wisdom, he would certainly consider the effect of these words, but he still didn't take into account his own feelings. He should have done it intentionally.

"The emperor is destined to be just a symbol." The expression on Lu Buyao's face was full of sorrow. The emperor was also his student. He was the third generation of imperial teacher. It was him who tried his best to protect the prince that created the current situation. He had his own layout, but the plan was not as good as change. Xiao Zirong's performance was far beyond his expectations.

The emperor is a symbol, let alone the queen.

Chen Qiongnian didn't want to continue discussing this matter and whispered: "Teacher, you have been too busy recently, you should have a good rest."

Lu Buyao said: "I always feel that the Queen Mother has changed a lot."

Chen Qiongnian said: "When the late emperor passed away, the empress dowager ruled from behind the curtain. She had to worry about the affairs of the harem and also worked hard for state affairs. Some changes were normal."

"You don't understand what I mean. I have known the Queen Mother for many years. I still know more about her methods of doing things." Lu Buyao tapped his fingers several times: "I have a premonition that she will take action soon."

Chen Qiongnian had not had much contact with Empress Dowager Xiao Zirong. The most common thing I heard was that she killed the former queen Bai Huixin. However, these rumors lacked verification. According to his recent observation, Xiao Zirong did not interfere excessively in the affairs of the court. He basically delegated power to four ministers for life in major affairs. Of course, Lu Buyao was not successful. As the third generation of imperial teachers and the chief assistant of Dayong, his status has now been challenged.

It should be disappointed. After all, Lu Buyao and Xiao Zirong had always had a good relationship before, and they were also a staunch supporter of the ascension of the prince Long Shixiang. Logically speaking, Lu Buyao worked hard and made great contributions and should have been reused. However, after Xiao Zirong ruled behind the curtain, he relied on Sang Jingtian and obviously alienated Lu Buyao. This also made many ministers deeply puzzled. You must know that Sang Jingtian took the lead in opposing Long Shixiang as the crown prince and stayed away from the court for two years. Empress Dowager Xiao Zirong actually had such a broad mind. After taking office, he did not take revenge on Sang Jingtian, but instead repaid his grievances with kindness.

This is the case in the court, there are no eternal enemies, only common interests.

Lu Buyao said: "The world is in turmoil, and demons emerge in many ways. The destruction of the seventh-level demon prison is just the beginning. In fact, man-made disasters are far greater than demon troubles!"

Chen Qiongnian said: "Did the teacher know that the Empress Dowager has handed over the investigation of the Demon-Suppressing Department to Ji Hongcai of Tiance Mansion?"

Lu Buyao nodded: "Sang Jingtian has manipulated it with one hand, and he has been targeting you all the time."

Chen Qiunian did not agree with this sentence, one by one, another. Sang Jingtian did want to stop his daughter from entering the palace, but after this incident had become a fact, Sang Jingtian seemed to have changed his mind. Judging from the handling of the recent events, Sang Jingtian clearly showed signs of easing his relationship with him. Perhaps Sang Jingtian believed that the person he was the first to deal with should be Lu Buyao, and he had become the object of his unity.

Chen Qiongnian said: "Students are dedicated to the country, and if they are targeted by others, they will be helpless."

Lu Buyao said: "The rabbit dies and the dog cooks, and the birds are all hidden. Those who are ministers must understand this principle at any time. The Empress Dowager is well versed in the minds of the emperor and knows how to balance the power of all parties. I have become a thorn in her side. She is likely to get rid of me and then quickly."

Chen Qiongnian comforted him: "My teacher is too worried."

Lu Buyao said: "I have been thinking about it, but it is better to draw a clear line between you and me. Once the emperor and the ministers are, the empress dowager needs a court she created with her own hands and a balance of re-arrangement."

Chen Qiongnian clearly felt Lu Buyao's uneasiness and sighed in his heart that he was still old after all. At this time, don't be greedy for power and retreat bravely.

Lu Buyao closed his eyes tiredly and said, "Go, I'm tired." After saying many heartfelt words, he did not get an effective response from Chen Qiongnian. Lu Buyao realized that there was a serious gap between them. Perhaps in Chen Qiongnian's eyes, he was already out of sight. Chen Qiongnian, who was supported by one, could not use it for himself.

Qin Lang and Gu Xiefei came to the Danqing Painting House and found that the gate was covered with seals and no one was stationed around. They decided to go in and take a look and easily cross the courtyard wall. Gu Xiefei took an unusual path and chose to penetrate the wall.

The room inside was locked, and Qin Lang was in the yard for Gu Xiefei, who was alone to find clues.

Not long after, Gu Xiefei came out of it. He found a few pieces of shredded paper, which had been burned before from the edge.

He carried those pieces of paper and came to Qin Lang and said mysteriously: "There is a demonic spirit!"

Qin Lang pretended to smell it, and smelled a faint burnt smell. As for the evil spirit, he didn't feel it at all. He had specialized in his skills and had a sequence of hearing. In terms of smell, even ten Qin Langs could not catch up with Gu Xiefei.

Gu Xiefei said: "As long as he is still in Yongdu City, I should be able to capture him."

Qin Lang believed in Gu Xiefei's ability. The two had fought side by side many times. Gu Xiefei's ability was whether he was weak or not, and whether he was strong or not. In terms of magic, this guy was simply complicated and knew a lot of things.

Qin Lang initially suspected that the people who were responsible for assessing disciples of Jiuyou Sect were not good at their vision. With Gu Xiefei's ability, how could he not even get involved in the sect? Later, he realized that the reason why Gu Xiefei was not selected ten times was probably because he did not want to enter Jiuyou Sect. Perhaps the way he chose to practice was different from other people. In the thirty years of the Academy of Residents, this guy was definitely not idle.

The curfew in Yongdu has been lifted. Although there are not many pedestrians on the road, there is no longer the tension that was the previous few days.

Gu Xiefei was looking for the demon trail in front of him. Qin Lang followed him on foot. After walking for a while, the two of them came to the front of a magnificent courtyard. Gu Xiefei sniffed and said, "Strange, he suddenly disappeared."

Qin Lang looked at the courtyard ahead and said, "Is it inside?"

Gu Xiefei said: "What if he doesn't care, don't you have the ebony order from the Tiance Mansion? You'll know if you go in and search?"

Qin Lang nodded. He was not only the ebony order from Tiance Mansion, but also the demon-suppressing order given to him by Chen Qiongnian. He had two decks of cards on his waist. He was very confident now.

To be cautious, Qin Lang asked Gu Xiefei to find out what place it is first? Seeing that the high-gate courtyard should be a home of high-ranking officials and nobles, Gu Xiefei slipped back after inquiring and told Qin Lang that this was the residence of the Prime Minister Lu Buyao of the dynasty.

When Qin Lang heard that it was the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was stunned. Even if he showed up the two tokens in his hand, it would not be a reason for him to search the Prime Minister's Mansion. Lu Buyao was a person under Da Yong, and he might not even dare to provoke Sang Jingtian on the front.

Gu Xiefei whispered and said, "Why don't I go in and take a look?" Recently, the success rate of the wall-penetrating technique was 100%, and Gu Xiefei was full of confidence.

Qin Lang shook his head. Lu Buyao was not only the prime minister, but also the great master of Xiuwen. He was the sixth-grade second-class. Looking at the entire Da Yong, he was not asking for death when he got in. He pulled Gu Xiefei away and went away, and lowered his voice: "Is your clue accurate?"

Gu Xiefei nodded.

Qin Lang said: "Will anyone deliberately leave this clue to attract us here?"

Gu Xiefei blinked his eyes. Although the clue he found did point to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it could not rule out that Qin Lang said it. He touched the back of his head and said, "How about I go back and look for it? You are here to stare and let's take action separately."

Qin Lang felt that it was not very meaningful to stare here. When he was about to leave with Gu Xiefei, he saw a carriage coming out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the two hurriedly hid in the shadows.

Gu Xiefei sniffed and lowered his voice and said, "There is a demonic spirit!"

"You're not right?"

"Nonsense! How could you hear it wrong in such a close relationship!"

The carriage had already driven far away. Qin Lang and Gu Xiefei looked at each other, and both of them made the decision to continue tracking.
