She is not afraid of these hardships.

As long as my grandmother and father are in good condition, she can survive no matter how difficult it is.

It was already late at night, and Gala had been bothered by the Lock of Longevity for several months. He wanted to ask as soon as possible, but now he looked at his grandmother's tired face, but he was not so anxious to ask. He just put it in her arms and felt a sense of peace that he had not felt for a long time.

The grandparents and grandson sat for a while, and Tan patted Gala on the shoulder and stood up, "Wash up earlier, and your highness may come to find out tomorrow. We must be well prepared before we can deal with it."

As he said, Galo asked Hua Shang to come outside to serve the maids from Nanxun Palace and prepared hot water and fragrant soup.

Mrs. Tan sat at the table, looking at the maid who was approaching respectfully, and her heart was even more confused.

——Galao was very grateful and praised Yang Jian. It was abnormal that Yang Jian not only helped him, but also acted in such a courteous manner.

What is his intention?

The next morning, Yang Jian went down to court and returned to Jianzhang Palace, and went straight to Nanxun Palace.

In the Nanxun Palace, Gala and Tan have finished packing up, waiting for Yang Jian to summon him.

When Yang Jian entered, the grandparents and grandchildren were sitting in the corridor talking. When they saw him, they showed surprise. Gala immediately helped Tan to get up, then quickly stepped down the steps, bowed his knees and saluted, "Greetings to the Emperor."

Compared to her cautious surprise, Tan was much more calm.

When she was in Huainan, she had little contact with Yang Jian. Although she knew each other well, it was the first time she met in person.

Opposite is the current crown prince, the future emperor, and the emperor's outfit has not been eliminated. He stands there like a mountain, and is even more noble and majestic.

Yesterday, Gala made a narrative. Tan was extremely curious about Yang Jian. At this time, he paid attention to observation. He saw Yang Jian's eyes falling on Gala and stayed for a moment. Compared to the cold and sharpness he was in Huainan, he seemed particularly gentle. Even when he raised his hand to signal for exemption, if a smile rose, it would be fleeting.

This certainly surprised Tan. Before Yang Jian looked over, he quickly withdrew his gaze.

When we first met, the other party was very valuable, and the etiquette of kneeling was quite simple.

Mrs. Tan lifted up her clothes and knelt on the ground, saluting Yang Jian upright, "Mife Tan, pay homage to Your Highness."

"No gift." Yang Jian's usual cold and solemn attitude gave Gala a wink.

Gala understood and immediately helped his grandmother get up, then said to Yang Jian: "Your Highness, please sit in the hall?"

Yang Jian nodded, leaving Zhan Qing who was accompanying him outside, and walked into the hall.

Gala helped Tan and then went in, and closed the door with a sensible sensibility.

There were only three people left in the room. Yang Jian stood in the hall with his hands in his back, silent, and looked at Tan with only a scrutiny. Tan stood respectfully, looking at the ground, in a manner that he wanted to answer with respect. On the contrary, Gala had less fear in front of Yang Jian recently, and suddenly fell into such a silent atmosphere again. He was at a loss and had to stand behind Tan.

After a while, Yang Jian coughed lightly, "I guess Dugu Jialuo has already said about the matter of Longevity Lock?"

"Go back to Your Highness, yesterday Gala told the private woman about this, and the private woman knew the reason. Gala was able to escape from the hands of Northern Liang and lived safely in Jianzhang Palace. All of you rely on Your Highness to help. The private woman is deeply grateful." Tan finally raised his head and met Yang Jian's gaze, with neither humble nor arrogant attitude.

With a slightly blue eyes, it is very similar to Gala.

Her eyes were calm and bright. Compared to Gala's strong calmness, this calmness came from her bones.

This surprised Yang Jian.

She had checked Tan's identity, and she also came from the north. As Gao Tanwei's wife Xu Xian lived in Gao Mansion, she ate vegetarianism and worshiped Buddha all year round. She heard that she had disagreements with Gao Tanwei on many things, but she was very respectful to Gao Tanwei, and her relationship was quite harmonious. Even Gao Tanwei's children born to her, she was quite respectful to her - at least she could live up to her face.

Apart from this, there is nothing special.

Now that the Gao family is in danger, Gao Tanwei is in trouble. Where can she get the confidence? When facing his gaze, she is so calm?

Yang Jian looked at it with his eyes, as if two heavy swords were pressing against Tan, "So, do you know the reason behind it?"

"The civilian woman doesn't know."

"You don't know about Aji?"

"The civilian woman lived in the north in the past and only heard the story of Aji, but she didn't know anything about it. As for the long-lived lock, it was something that Galla wore since she was a child. Although the civilian woman entrusted Nanfeng's mother as well as Dugu Shanzhi's entrusted to take care of Galla, she didn't pay attention. It was also yesterday that Gala mentioned it, and only then did she know that there were so many storms behind it."

This response was expected by Yang Jian.

He stared at Tan, "Anyway, you don't know anything about Nanfeng and this long-lived lock?"

"It's not that I don't know at all." Tan laughed and bowed to Yang Jian to report, "Since the civilian woman dared to remember Nanfeng as her daughter, she was moved by Dugu Shan's sincerity, and also knew Nanfeng's identity. When the civilian woman was in the north in the past, she had an old friend. She had never seen her since she entered the Gao family. When she saw Nanfeng later, she realized that she was the daughter of an old friend. She had been living here because her parents died and became associated with Dugu Shan. The civilian woman pityed her and tried her best to fulfill her. As for the long-lived lock - the civilian woman did not know."

Her tone was gentle but firm, neither too fast nor too slow, just like the voice of teaching the principles of Gala in the Huainan Buddhist Hall.

But Gala felt a deep sense of doubt.

When she lived in Huainan, her grandmother had been conscious of the longevity lock and told her to be careful and not to lose it. Once, Gala was careless and put the longevity lock in the closet, and her grandmother was quite anxious to search for it. It turned out that after Gala, her grandmother was so concerned because it was her mother's relics.

Looking back now, my grandmother must have known that the longevity lock was special.

So my grandmother was cheating on Yang Jian at this time?

Gala was stunned, but remembered his grandmother's advice last night and did not dare to say much. He was afraid that Yang Jian would notice it, so he just lowered his head and stared at his toes.

Yang Jian spent several months with her and could see the abnormality after this posture at a glance.

Then he gave up Tan and looked at Gala.

But Tan, naturally, once again guessed Yang Jian. The moment his eyes looked at Gala, he calmed down, and the pressure and coldness he had when he looked at her. With the ease of his eyes, even the tight corners of his lips and face seemed to be relaxed. The changes in this were too obvious, and Tan could see the difference at a glance.

Eyes cannot deceive people.

Especially these young men and women, even if they hide their disguises and fall into her eyes, they can still see clues.

Tan looked at Yang Jian's expression, and when he saw him looking over with a sneer, his expression became colder and more solemn, he knew that Gala was trapped.

But it's okay, she is not really lying.

Tan's face remained unchanged, and faced Yang Jian's gaze and said slowly: "The civilian women really don't know. But since it is an old thing from Nanfeng, the civilian women know more about it and may be able to gain something."

Yang Jian's expression became colder, his eyes were like a vulture, staring at Tan.

Tan is different, keeps a respectful attitude, and does not dodge or avoid it.

Gala stood behind them and noticed that the atmosphere changed slightly. This reminded her of childhood. Once, she followed her father into the mountain and saw two tigers confronting under the cliff. Before sumbling at each other, this was the case. Grandmother was different from ordinary ladies. Gala had noticed this, but she didn't expect that she was so calm and calm in front of Yang Jian.

Gala could not see his grandmother's expression, but he could see Yang Jian at all.

The man with his hands on his back was a cold and hard posture that she hadn't seen for a long time, but it was not a gloomy pressure, but just a scrutiny and inquiry.

A moment later, suddenly Yang Jian's ink-colored gold-woven robe moved slightly, and he looked up and saw the coldness on his face gradually restrained.

"As you wish." He slowly threw down these words and walked out.

Garo looked at her grandmother for no reason and saw that she was calm and even smiled, "It seems that he treats you well. Garo, I will deal with Yang Jian with the matter of Long Life Lock and don't want you to be stuck in the middle. Let's just do this for now, you don't have to worry, grandmother has a proper position. Grandmother does know a little about what's behind Long Life Lock. When I find out the details, I will tell you. OK?"

It's important to be serious, and grandmother is always cautious.

Gala smiled and said softly: "I listen to my grandmother."

Yang Jian never appeared again after leaving.

In the afternoon, Su Wei came.

Although he was in the position of deputy commander, he often came over to work on duty in the evening. Now Japan is about to take the lanterns. He heard that Mrs. Gao had arrived at Jianzhang Palace and was worried about Gala's situation, so he rushed to Nanxun Palace earlier.

They met each other and were happy.

Gala led him in and said to Tan: "Grandma, this is the Du cousin and my aunt's son. He is the right deputy guard of Jianzhang Palace. He has been taking care of him this time and often comes to see me."

"Oh?" Tan stood up and looked Su Wei with a smile, "It's really a young talent."

Su Wei bowed deeply, "The old lady is too rewarded. Gala always mentions you. It is a blessing for the younger generation to meet you today." As he said that, he handed the brocade box in his hand to Gala. "The old lady is tired from the road. I heard that she is still cold, so I guess she has not had time to adjust it. It is rare to settle down. Should I replenish my body - have you ever seen Your Highness?"

At this time, he was still in his homely clothes, his hair was tied with a jade crown on his head, his ochre long robe was open and elegant, and his heroic posture was erect.

Tan looked at Huanxi and said with great care, asking Hua Shang to serve tea.

Gala then said about seeing Yang Jian, but did not mention details. She had not seen Su Wei for a long time. When she asked, she realized that he had been ordered to go to Yunzhong City a while ago and returned to the capital last night.

Seeing that Gala looked normal, Su Wei felt a little relieved and asked again: "Where is the old lady who comes to Beijing, can she have a place to stay?"

"I still have a house to rest in the capital. But Gala still lives here. I'm not at ease. I have to figure out the situation and go out in two days." Tan was grateful for his care for Gala and said, "Is Ling Zun a post in the Ministry of Personnel, so I respect Ji Fu?"

"Has the old lady met her father?" Su Wei was slightly surprised.

Tan nodded, "I met once before."

Su Wei smiled and said, "This is really destined to be. Gala now lives in Jianzhang Palace, as a guest. Your Highness looks cold-hearted and treats people well, and he will not make any trouble on purpose. Moreover, although my official position is low, I often go to Jianzhang Palace to take care of Gala. I can rest assured that the old lady is safe. The old lady is in Huainan for many years and returns to the capital. I guess everything is not ready. If I want to move out, tell me, I will arrange for someone to help."

Tan thanked him. Looking at his considerate and thoughtful attitude, the more he looked, the more he became happy.

Su Wei looked at Gala, and when she saw her a little dazed, she couldn't help asking, "Where are you, do you want to move out?"

"Of course I want to, I'm afraid I can't get rid of it." Garo smiled.

Yang Jian not only paid attention to the matter of Changming Lock, but Emperor Zhou Jing also asked about it. Since his grandmother had arrived in the capital, Emperor Zhou Jing will soon know what would happen at that time, and it is still unknown. Before the matter is understood, Yang Jian may not let her go easily.

In the deep palace, Emperor Zhou Jing did ask about Tan's family after a small banquet.

Although Emperor Jing of Zhou was able to return to the capital successfully for many years, Jiang Zhan in the court ranked first. At this time, Xu Gongwang tried to rely on the power of the deep-rooted forces to control the government. Only then did Yang Jian and his son take over the government. There were very few close friends in the court, and the only one who was the most capable was Jiang Zhan and his son.

Therefore, at this time, the Jiang family was at its peak. Not only did the father and son hold important positions, but they were summoned by Emperor Jing of Zhou every few days. The king and his ministers said that they had to join forces. Emperor Jing of Zhou took the initiative to hold a small banquet for lunch, which was particularly favored.

The same is true today. Yang Jian and his son discussed the matter with Jiang Zhan. When Jiang Zhan took his leave, he came to the harem.

Near the Yiqiu Palace where Concubine Duan lives, Emperor Zhou Jing suddenly remembered the affairs of the Gao family—

"The old thief Gao Tanwei is now much more honest. I thought he would collude with Xu Gongwang this time, but he realized that he was not going to cause trouble. By the way, the old woman in the Gao family is about to arrive in the capital?"

"I have already arranged the Jianzhang Palace that I arrived at yesterday. But the matter has been busy recently and it is not time to interrogate it."
