Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, it was impossible to bring more people with her. Madam Jin crawled to Gu Yingxia's feet and said, "My Lady, please save our daughter from the Jin family."

"Follow me."

The little girl who had been cursing before was now crossing the threshold with Gu Yingxia holding her hand. She was so scared that she didn't even cry because the people outside were holding knives.

Tomorrow is her eighth birthday, but her father and mother will not celebrate her birthday tomorrow.

The virtuous concubine took away seven people, and the remaining female relatives were determined to die.

"Empress Xianfei, please make way."

Gu Yingxia hopes to save one more person, and the two sides are in a stalemate.

"Someone, please ask the virtuous concubine to move."

The two accompanying female officials stepped forward, and Gu Yingxia angrily said, "What's the point of me selecting a few palace maids? You can't pull me aside."

The ladies-in-waiting pulled Gu Yingxia away, and a cold voice came: "Stop! You actually dared to lay hands on His Majesty's Consort. Do you want to keep your heads?"

"Zhen Fei, come quickly, save as many as you can."

Concubine Zhen shook her head. "There are too many people. We can't save them all."

Zhang Sen said, "The Jin and Wang families have received the emperor's grace, so they must bear the price of losing it."

Zhenfei rescued seven more people under the pretext of selecting maids.

On the way back, Zhenfei and Gu Yingxia were silent.

The women rescued by Concubine Xianzhen and Concubine Zhen entered the embroidery building. Gu Yingxia hoped that they would learn embroidery so that they would not starve with the skills.

However, her wish was dashed. These young ladies used to be flattered by others when they went out, and they thought they were invincible. They were unwilling to concentrate on embroidering and looked for the playboys who loved them in the past to rescue their relatives.

Not all the playboys are good people. Some of them run around to arrange things for them, some refuse directly for fear of getting into trouble, some take advantage of the girls' misfortunes, and some even trick the girls out of their embroidery studios and buy them into red-light districts.

Gu Yingxia rescued the women as instructed by Gu Yinwei, and then wrote back to her.

Not long after the letter was sent, the seriously injured queen returned to the palace.

Gu Yingxia and Zhenfei had to get up early every day to pay their respects.

Gu Yingxia's reply was delivered to the palace by carrier pigeon. Gu Yinwei was not in the palace at that time and had no chance to see her letter.

The two green horses galloped all the way, and the two took a shortcut and continued to ride non-stop until they arrived at Wuliang Mountain and Fengmian Zen Temple at the foot of the mountain. Gu Yinwei dismounted and knocked on the gate.

"You're looking for the Emperor. He lives in the palace. You won't find him in the Zen temple."

Gu Yinwei said, "We'd like to stay here for one night."

The abbot hesitated and tried to decline.

"You can't live here, you can't live here, leave quickly."

Gu Yinwei saw blood on the abbot's cuffs and gave Fugui a wink.

Fugui understood and said, "Master, we don't want to stay overnight. We just want a bowl of water to drink."

“There’s no water.”

"Ordinary well water will do."

"There's no well water either."

The host was about to close the door after he finished speaking.

Fugui pulled the host back, and Gu Yinwei hurriedly jumped in to let the long-eared marten in.

There was a sound of fighting behind the door, and two robbers were chasing the long-eared marten.

"The long-eared marten is poisonous, don't let it bite you." The robber shouted loudly.

Fugui also joined the battle immediately. He drew his bow and arrow and easily shot the robber.

"Master, the Zen temple has been hijacked by bandits, and the female guest who came to burn incense has been tied up in the backyard."

"You go and rescue them, and I'll try them."

Fugui tied the robbers' legs with a rope and hung the two robbers upside down on the tree.

"Why do you know the long-eared marten?"

The robber gritted his teeth and refused to admit it.

"Are you from Dongzhou?"

The robbers refused to answer, but when Gu Yinwei mentioned Dongzhou, their subconscious movements exposed their identities.

"The owner of Dongzhou Island is dead, and the people on the island are self-reliant. Why did you two leave your homeland?"

The two people hanging there had a tough attitude and looked fearless.

"Forget it, since you don't want to talk to me, I won't waste my breath."

Gu Yinwei loosened the rope and let the two robbers down.

The robber was complacent and laughed at Gu Yinwei for being helpless.

"Young Master, you are handsome and have beautiful hands. Give me a kiss and I will be merciful and tell you the truth."

"Forget it. I don't want to know."

Gu Yinwei gave up communicating and prepared a kitchen knife, oil pan, salt, green pepper and other seasonings.

"Young master is afraid that I'm hungry, so he cooks for me. How thoughtful." The robber smiled obscenely and spoke vulgarly.

"Master, the people have been released."

The pilgrims who were imprisoned in the woodshed were rescued by Fugui. The pilgrims came out with murderous intent. They came happily to burn incense, but the two robbers humiliated them and did not give them any food.

Among the pilgrims, there were several women with good figures and good looks who had lost their virginity. They were filled with hatred, and four of them worked together to pick up a pot of hot oil and poured it on the robbers.

The robber bared his teeth and yelled, "I'll tell you everything."

Gu Yinwei said: "You want to talk, but I don't want to listen."

"Besides you two, there's also the abbot in Zen. I can ask the abbot questions as well."

The robber was frightened and begged for mercy.

The female pilgrims wanted to skin the robbers alive, but the two robbers were tough in words but not in bones. In less than an incense stick of time, eight of their ribs were broken, and their hand and leg bones were also broken.

The two robbers were blind and crawled on the ground like geckos.

Fugui scooped a bucket of water, poured half a bag of salt into it, and poured it on the robber's wound like a fairy scattering flowers.

"Say it now or not."

"If you don't tell me, kill me if you can."

Gu Yinwei didn't even need to say a word, the pilgrims who were burning incense rushed out and beat her up.

One of them couldn't bear the beating and fainted. The other one hadn't heard his companion's voice for a long time and mistakenly thought that his companion was dead, so he became much more obedient.
