"Don't bother with this girl," Xianzong comforted the old Taoist priest whose head was about to smoke, saying, "She knows nothing."

Yu Xiaoxiao was originally unconvinced and wanted to speak up for herself, but then she thought about it and realized that she really knew nothing about fortune-telling. After realizing this fact, Her Royal Highness the Princess shut up.

Thinking that he couldn't beat this little monster, the princess, the old Taoist could only swallow his anger.

Gu Xingnuo asked the old Taoist: "Master, what are you going to do?"

The old Taoist said, "Change your fate."

Xianzong did not ask how to change fate. He turned to look at the Gu brothers and said, "Then go and prepare. Remember, you have to act it out as if it were real."

The three brothers of the Gu family received the order.

Yu Xiaoxiao asked Gu Xingyan: "Second brother, do you want to act too?"

Gu Ershao said, "Well, I have to act out the scene of rushing back home from the army."

Xianzong said: "Gu Xiaoer, if you can't cry, just rub your eyes until they turn red and think about your mother's death."

Second Young Master Gu..., these words are really annoying to hear.

Jing Mo said to Yu Xiao: "Princess, come back to Deyi Winery with me."

Yu Xiao: "Is this my business?"

"We have to let the earth spirit see it," Jing Mo whispered, "Xinglang is in trouble, and you are in Deyi Winery."

Although she knew it was acting, Yu Xiaoxiao felt bad whenever she thought about it.

The eldest master ran outside the house and reported: "Your Majesty, Wang Fengqing is outside the palace gate."

Xianzong patted Gu Xinglang on the shoulder and said gently, "It's just acting."

Gu Xinglang lowered his head and said, "I understand."

After patting his son-in-law's shoulder heavily, Xianzong walked out of the house.

Before leaving, Yu Xiaoxiao said to the Taoist priest, "You must succeed!"

The old Taoist said: "If it doesn't work, Princess, you can just take my life."

Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the old Taoist and said seriously: "Master, I will take your words seriously."

The old Taoist choked. It seemed that if he failed to accomplish this task, this little monster might really take his life.

"Let's go," Jing Mo urged Yu Xiaoxiao in a low voice. If this play was to be performed, it had to be performed early in the morning. Otherwise, Madam Xu died in the Gu Mansion. With so many servants in the Gu Mansion, it would be unacceptable to find the body too late.

Yu Xiaoxiao pulled Gu Xinglang's hand and said, "I'll be back at noon, and we'll have lunch together."

Gu Xinglang nodded, smiled, and said, "Okay."

Yu Xiaoxiao tiptoed and kissed Gu Xinglang on the face, then followed Jing Mo away.

Gu Xinglang touched the face that was kissed by Yu Xiaoxiao, and the smile on his face deepened.

The old Taoist twirled his mustache and felt that he didn't need to worry too much about Gu Xinglang not being able to handle the hardships at such a young age. For the sake of Princess Linglong, the Prince Consort could probably endure anything.

"I'll leave everything in my hands, Taoist priest," after Yu Xiaoxiao left, Gu Xinglang clasped his fists and bowed to the old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist hurriedly avoided Gu Xinglang's greeting and waved his hand, saying, "Why are you being so polite to me, my Lord? Don't worry, with me here, the earth spirits can't do evil."

At this time, the voice of Nanny Wang was heard outside the door.

"Come in," Gu Xinglang responded.

Nanny Wang walked into the room, glanced at the old Taoist priest, half-knelt and bowed to Gu Xinglang, and said, "Sir, the eldest young master ordered me to come here."

Gu Xinglang said: "Mammy, please help the Taoist priest a little."

"Yes," Nanny Wang half-knelt and bowed again.

Gu Xinglang looked back at the landscape screen and quickly left the room.

Nanny Wang and the Taoist priest were the only ones left in the room. Nanny Wang asked the Taoist priest, "What happened again?"

As this person didn't know anything yet, the old Taoist waved to Nanny Wang and said, "It's a long story."

Xianzong walked out of the tunnel and stood in the house where the host had long since left. He looked at his daughter, then at Gu Xinglang, and said, "Be careful."

Yu Xiaoxiao curled her lips. Her role was not challenging at all. What should she be careful about?

Gu Xinglang accepted the order and said, "I obey your order."

Xianzong thought for a moment, but couldn't think of anything else to say, so he waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please be careful. I hope everything goes well."

The group dispersed and went about their own business.

The old Taoist stood in front of the bed and placed seven copper coins next to Mrs. Xu.

Nanny Wang didn't understand what the Taoist priest was doing, but she didn't ask at this time.

Gu Xinglang stood in front of the gate of the mansion, watching the carriage that Yu Xiaoxiao was sitting in disappear at the alley. When he looked up again, he saw a lot of dew dripping from the vines on the wall beside him, wetting the shoulders of Young Master Gu.

The eldest boss whispered to Gu Xinglang, "The second son took people to look for the female corpse. After finding it, they chopped it up and sent it to the Gu Mansion. My Lord, you just show up at the Gu Mansion and let people see it."

Gu Xinglang said: "When will they arrive at the Gu Mansion?"

The eldest boss said, "They will fire a signal arrow when they get there. I think it will be soon. There are so many desolate graves outside the city. We can just dig up any body. We can't ask the people from the Temple of Eternal Life to do an autopsy."

Gu Xinglang nodded.

The eldest boss took a look at Gu Xinglang's expression and said cautiously: "My Lord, the eldest young master will come to make trouble in a while, you must remember that this is just an act."

Gu Xinglang laughed after hearing what the boss said.

Young Master Gu always looks good when he smiles, but he scared the boss. How could he still smile at such a sad and helpless moment?

"Are you afraid that I'll go crazy again?" Gu Xinglang asked.

"No, it's not," the boss shook his head quickly.

Gu Xinglang restrained his smile and whispered, "I know what I'm doing, don't worry."

The eldest master said, "Yes, my Lord, I am not worried."

No wonder! The boss said he wasn't worried, but in his heart, he was worried to death. He was worried to death! When he was a pirate and was chased by the Li family father and son, he was not so worried!

About two cups of tea later, someone set off a flare arrow at a street corner not far from Gu's residence. The sound was loud but short and did not attract much attention.

The carriage in which Emperor Xianzong was sitting had not yet reached the palace gate. When he heard the secret guard tell him that he heard the sound of arrows, Emperor Xianzong closed his eyes tightly in the carriage. This matter must go smoothly!

The earth spirit heard the sound of arrows in the nameless building, walked to the window and looked, but the sound had disappeared.

Just when Di Ling wanted to find someone to ask in which direction the arrow sound came from, another arrow sound was heard. This time, Master Di Ling heard the direction clearly: it was in the west of the city, far away from the Gu Mansion.

In the early morning of that day, a thin mist rose in Fengjing City. Master Diling looked at Fengjing City through the mist. Suddenly, he felt uneasy. He counted two hexagrams with his fingers, but they were still one good and one bad. Diling knocked hard on the windowsill. He could no longer predict good and bad luck and spy on the secrets of heaven. Could Mo Wen still use him?

No, Master Di Ling thought as he stood in front of the window, this matter must not be known to anyone, especially Mo Wen.
