113 The Great Enemy of the Temple of Eternal Life

Master Fenglin listened to the footsteps outside the door going away, raised his head and looked at Concubine Zhao again, and whispered: "Have you thought about what to do, Madam?"

Concubine Zhao seemed very confused and had no idea what Young Master Fenglin was saying to her. Even if she had fallen out of favor and was banished to the cold palace by Emperor Xianzong from then on, where no one cared about her and she would die in the palace, what did all this have to do with this Young Master of the Eternal Life Temple?

Master Fenglin stood up and took a look at the bloodstains in front of Concubine Zhao's bed. After hesitating for a moment, he walked to the bed and looked at Concubine Zhao and said, "The imperial physician should not have told the queen that it will be difficult for her to have children in the future, and there is no hope for her to have children, right?"

What other words could send Concubine Zhao straight to hell? It was undoubtedly these words. Concubine Zhao screamed without warning, but when everyone was waiting for her to collapse, she looked at Master Fenglin expressionlessly and said, "Master, you came to me, so I must be useful to you. But I don't understand, how can a woman like me help you?"

Concubine Zhao's voice was weak, but her words undoubtedly made Master Fenglin look up to this woman. There were not many people in this world who could clearly see their own position and situation.

Princess Zhao waited for Master Fenglin for a while, and when she saw that he didn't say anything, she asked again, "Do you want me to ask the servants to leave?"

Master Fenglin glanced at the maids guarding Concubine Zhao's bed, with a smile on his face, and said, "No need. If they were not Her Majesty's loyal servants, Her Majesty would not have allowed them to guard here."

"What do you want?" Concubine Zhao asked Master Fenglin. The weakness and numbness all over her body made Concubine Zhao impatient to play the guessing game with Master Fenglin.

"Princess Linglong," Master Fenglin said to Concubine Zhao.

Concubine Zhao laughed and said, "Master, you have seen it too. Now that I have been harmed by the princess, if you want to deal with Her Royal Highness, I am afraid that I, a woman who will never have children in this life, can't help you."

Master Fenglin leaned down and reached out to touch the quilt that Concubine Zhao was covered with, as if to comfort her or to tuck in the corner of the quilt for her. "Princess Linglong may be the biggest enemy of my Eternal Life Temple, so the enemy of my enemy should be my friend."

Is there anyone in this world who can be the enemy of the Eternal Life Temple? Concubine Zhao looked at Master Fenglin in astonishment. In this case, it was not unfair for her to fall into Yu Linglong's hands?

"Have a good rest," Master Fenglin straightened up, looked at Concubine Zhao with some pity, and said, "Your Zhao family is a big tree with deep roots, it is far from the time of collapse. Discuss it with Prime Minister Zhao, I will come to see you another day."

When Concubine Zhao heard Master Fenglin say that he was leaving, she did not ask him to stay, but just watched Master Fenglin walk out of her bedroom. He wanted her to discuss this with her father? Concubine Zhao could not help but wonder if her father had made some kind of deal with the Eternal Life Temple.

"Your Majesty," several maids looked at Concubine Zhao worriedly. Now that their master had fallen out of favor, the fate of them, the slaves, would be worrying.

It was only at this time that Concubine Zhao glanced at the people in the bedroom and asked, "Where is Cui Yu?"

The maids didn't dare to say anything. Cui Yu was dragged away and beaten. Now no one knows whether she is dead or alive.

"Speak," said Concubine Zhao.

A maid was stared at by Concubine Zhao and had no choice but to speak: "Madam, Cuiyu has displeased the emperor, and the emperor has ordered her to be taken to the Ministry of Punishment for a lesson."

Princess Zhao didn't say anything for a long time. Wouldn't going to the Ministry of Punishment to receive instruction mean getting beaten?

"Her Royal Highness the Princess was also present when Cuiyu was talking to the Emperor," another maid spoke up to Concubine Zhao. Now they had to let Concubine Zhao know that it was not that they would not plead for Cuiyu in front of Emperor Xianzong, but that they could not afford to offend the Princess.

"If you can still leave the palace," Concubine Zhao said with her eyes closed, "go to the Zhao Mansion and ask my father what happened. If possible, let my father come to the palace to see me."

"Yes," several maids responded together.

"Let's do it now," Princess Zhao said again. The incident had just happened, and Emperor Xianzong might not have issued a house arrest order for her.

The two maids looked at each other, then quickly retreated after receiving the order.

Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang took a carriage back to the Gu Mansion. Gu Xingnuo had been waiting for the young couple in front of the mansion for a long time. As soon as the carriage stopped, Young Master Gu walked to the door of the carriage and said, "Xinglang, Princess, has the emperor really overturned the case for our Gu family?"

Yu Xiaoxiao still jumped out of the car, looked at Gu Xingnuo and said, "Yes, brother, grandpa will be a marquis again tomorrow."

Xiao Wei whispered beside him, "It's the Marquis of Zhenguo."

Yu Xiao: "Oh yes, it's the Marquis of Zhenguo, are you happy, brother?"

Gu Xingnuo was of course happy that his family's injustice was redressed, but Young Master Gu couldn't understand why just because these two went out for a meal, their Gu family's injustice was overturned. This didn't make sense.

Gu Xinglang was carried out of the carriage by two servants. Compared to Yu Xiaoxiao's radiant face, Gu Xinglang looked a little tired. He said to Gu Xingnuo, "Brother, the emperor will issue an order tomorrow. Grandfather, you and my second brother will return to Wangxiang Pass to lead the troops."

Gu Xingnuo immediately began to think, should he ask someone to set off some firecrackers to celebrate?

Yu Xiao: "Brother, when Xiao Gu's injury is healed, Xiao Gu and I will go to Wangxiang Pass to find you."

Gu Xingnuo glanced at his younger brother. After marrying the princess, would his third brother still have the opportunity to go to the border to make achievements? However, the haze in Gu Da Shao's heart flashed away. Being able to marry Princess Linglong, wouldn't it be a blessing for his third brother? "Let's go home," Gu Da Shao smiled at Yu Xiaoxiao, "Grandfather is still waiting for you in the study."

Yu Xiaoxiao followed Gu Xingnuo into the mansion and asked casually, "Where's grandma?"

"Uh," Gu Xingnuo stumbled and turned to look at Yu Xiao: "Princess, grandma has gone to bed, do you want to see her?"

"Forget it then," Yu Xiaoxiao waved her hand and said, "I'm just asking. Grandma is the elder."

Gu Xingnuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was late at night and there was such a happy event. It was better for everyone to be happy. Gu Xingnuo was not worried about the princess. He was worried that his grandmother would make trouble for herself and then be really angry with the princess.

Gu Xinglang looked at his elder brother and his wife who were walking in front of him, waved to Xiao Wei to come closer to him, and whispered: "The princess walked too fast, I didn't have a chance to talk to her, you go and tell the princess not to talk about Concubine Zhao and Master Fenglin at home."

Xiao Wei nodded quickly, ran behind Yu Xiaoxiao, and called Yu Xiaoxiao, "Princess."

Yu Xiaoxiao turned around and said, "I'm here."

This response made Xiao Wei embarrassed for a long time.

Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Wei, then looked at Gu Xinglang behind him, and said with a paralyzed face: "Something happened again?"
