11 The Ruthless Royal Family

Gu Xinglang's vomiting of blood alarmed everyone in the family.

Gu Xingyan ran out in a panic to find a doctor.

Gu Xingnuo was afraid that the blood would choke Gu Xinglang's trachea, so he didn't dare let Gu Xinglang lie flat again and held Gu Xinglang in his arms.

The women of the Gu family came to the cottage crying.

At this time, several British scholars did not dare to leave and stayed in the yard waiting for news.

The Gu family was in chaos from top to bottom. Only Marshal Gu stood beside his grandson's bed with a cold face. He looked at Gu Xinglang solemnly and said, "A man of the Gu family can die on the battlefield, but he must not lose his spirit because of a temporary humiliation. If you die now, you are no longer a man of the Gu family."

"Grandfather," Gu Xingnuo felt sorry for his brother and begged the old man, "Let's talk about this later."

Gu Xinglang felt dizzy and barely raised his eyes to look at the person standing in front of his bed. He said in a hoarse voice, "It's okay. I'm just a little tired."

The old lady and a few others were crying.

Looking at his grandson's pale face, even the iron-blooded old marshal could no longer be tough. He reached out and gently patted Gu Xinglang on the shoulder. Gu Chen whispered, "Don't think about it anymore. Things will get better."

Gu Xinglang forced a smile, then fell asleep in his eldest brother's arms. He was really too tired.

"Strong things are easily broken," Yingnianyun sighed as he watched his old friend walk out of the hut, "Without the will to live, how do you want this child to live?"

Gu Chen shook his head and responded to his old friend's question without saying a word.

The cloud of sorrow hanging over the Gu family did not affect the master of the imperial palace. When his future son-in-law was vomiting blood and falling asleep, Emperor Xianzong was showing off his achievements to his daughter, saying to Yu Xiao: "Father has granted the Gu family a house and appointed Gu Xinglang to an official position. From now on, Linglong and he will live a good life and have children soon. Father is waiting for your good news."

Yu Xiaoxiao looked down at her own small body. This little body is not even an adult yet, and she has already had children? Does this emperor still have a brain?

Xianzong said, "Linglong, your marriage has been entrusted to Concubine Zhao. Although she is ill, she has always been on good terms with your mother. Your marriage will be left to her, and your father will rest assured. If you need anything, just ask Concubine Zhao."

Yu Xiaoxiao carefully noted down Xianzong's words and asked him, "Can she give me anything?"

Xianzong was stunned for a moment. Considering that this girl had wanted to kill Concubine Zhao not long ago, Xianzong asked cautiously: "What else do you want?"

Yu Xiao: "Money."

Xianzong nodded: "This is possible."

"Oh," Yu Xiaoxiao said, "Then I don't want the others."

Xianzong didn't understand at this time that gold, silver, jewelry, coral, jade, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, etc., in his daughter's eyes, they were all money. "Silly Linglong," Xianzong was moved by Yu Xiaoxiao and said, "You don't have to be afraid to ask your father. You are your father's only daughter. Your father can give you anything."

Yu Xiaoxiao didn't understand. Besides money, what else could this old man give her? Could he give her the kingdom now? "Then, then, Dad, what can you give me?"

Xianzong thought about it for a long time. Although Nanny Wang had explained to him that his daughter's martial arts were taught by a hermit master invited by the queen, and that his daughter was indeed very skilled in martial arts when she beat up the palace guards that day, he thought that the Gu family was a military family, and his daughter might not be able to shock the Gu family with only palace servants and eunuchs, so Xianzong said: "Father will give you a few more guards. Father can't let you be bullied in the Gu family."

The secret guards who secretly protected Emperor Xianzong were once again in despair of their master. The eldest princess completely defeated a group of palace guards. Is she still afraid of being bullied? Besides, has the Gu family had enough of living or what? Why would people bully a royal princess?

Xianzong did not wait for his daughter to reply, and directly said to the outside of the imperial study: "Let the guards come in."

A team of imperial guards filed into the imperial study, knelt down and saluted Emperor Xianzong and Yu Xiaoxiao.

"Stand up," Xianzong said, "raise your heads."

The palace guards raised their heads and looked into Yu Xiaoxiao's eyes. Suddenly, everyone wanted to laugh. Things in the world are so coincidental. This was exactly the team of palace guards who were severely abused by Yu Xiaoxiao outside the Book Pavilion that day.

"You can choose whatever you like," Xianzong said generously.

Yu Xiaoxiao looked at her father expressionlessly and stated a fact: "They can't beat me."

Xianzong opened his mouth but couldn't speak immediately.

"Forget it," Yu Xiaoxiao suggested. She really didn't want to support a idler.

Xianzong no longer felt uneasy about sending his daughter anything, and said to a dark corner of the imperial study: "Come out."

Several masked secret guards knelt silently at the foot of the imperial steps.

"These are father's secret guards," Xianzong said, "Pick two and take them away."

Oh my god!

The secret guards wanted to cry but had no tears. Following the princess to the Gu family, would they change from guards to servants from now on? Could the royal family be so heartless and ungrateful? !
