Gu Xinglang sat in the side hall where Xianzong and others had discussed matters last night, holding a cup of fragrant tea in his hand, and listened blankly to Jing Mo talking to him. Gradually, Gu Xinglang felt a little cold. In the late autumn and early winter, a charcoal basin had been placed in the side hall for heating. Gu Xinglang looked at the charcoal basin under his feet, and the charcoal fire was red. Why did he feel cold when there was fire for heating? Gu Xinglang asked himself.
Jing Mo finished what he wanted to say and waited for Gu Xinglang for a while. Before Gu Xinglang could speak, he placed his hand on the back of Gu Xinglang's hand that was resting on his knees and called out to him, "Xinglang?"
Gu Xinglang raised his head, his eyes still in a daze, and let out an "ah", his expression blank.
Jing Mo whispered: "If you didn't hear what I said just now, I can say it again."
Gu Xinglang turned to look at his elder brother.
Gu Xingnuo's eyes were also blank, staring at the wall behind Gu Xinglang. It was unknown what he was thinking. His clenched fists, and his slightly trembling hands revealed Young Master Gu's mood at the moment.
Gu Xinglang looked at Jing Mo again and said, "I heard you have to act out a scene with the princess."
Jing Mo nodded and said, "Are you willing?"
Gu Xinglang lowered his eyes, and his very long eyelashes cast a curved shadow on his lower eyelid.
"If you don't want to, then we'll find another way," Jing Mo said to Gu Xinglang even though he had already planned it. Jing Mo would rather everything was forced by the situation than forcing Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang asked softly: "Will this save my life?"
"Yes," Jing Mo pointed his finger at Gu Xinglang's heart and whispered, "It's just that this place will be injured. I will hold a grand wedding, and the princess will become the queen of my Zhuri, and you will be a fugitive with a lowly status and abandoned by everyone."
Gu Xinglang raised his eyes and looked at Jing Mo.
Jing Mo's expression was calm as he looked at Gu Xinglang quietly.
Gu Xinglang curled up his hands that were lying flat on his knees.
Jing Mo took his hand away. At this time, he did not emphasize to Gu Xinglang that this was just a show, because Jing Mo understood that this was nonsense.
"Xinglang," Gu Xingnuo said at this time: "If you don't want to, then..."
"Okay," Gu Xinglang interrupted his elder brother and said, "That's it."
Jing Mo's eyes suddenly opened and he said, "You agree? Don't think about it anymore?"
Gu Xinglang shook his head and said, "The princess asked me to wait for her at the Eternal Life Temple. We agreed on that yesterday."
Gu Xingnuo closed his eyes tightly and forced back the sourness.
Jing Mo stood up from his seat, half-knelt in front of Gu Xinglang, looked up at Gu Xinglang and said, "I'll give you some time to think about it."
Gu Xinglang shook his head and said, "It's just a play. Why should I think too much? I can bear it." He has decided to turn himself into a criminal who can be killed by everyone. What else does he, Gu Xinglang, have to be afraid of? As long as Yu Xiaoxiao is willing to wait for him and willing to go to the Eternal Life Temple to find him, he will not lose his princess, then he is not afraid of anything.
"Okay," Jing Mo smiled, a smile that reached his eyes. Jing Mo said to Gu Xinglang, "When Mo Wen is executed, I will return the princess intact."
Gu Xinglang nodded.
"You kid," Jing Mo patted Gu Xinglang on the shoulder and shook his head, "You agreed so readily."
"Brother," Gu Xinglang turned around and said to Gu Xingnuo, "Don't worry, I will be fine."
"I believe it." No matter how upset he felt, Young Master Gu still put on a smile on his face.
In the imperial study, Yu Xiaoxiao ate the large shrimps in the porridge and thought they tasted quite fresh, but were too small and not as tasty as pork, beef or mutton.
Xianzong picked a scallop from the large bowl of porridge and put it into his daughter's bowl. He carefully looked at his daughter's expression and said, "Just think of this as acting. We are all actors on the stage. This is also to kill Mo Wen and for Xing Lang's life. We have to make Mo Wen believe Xing Lang, right?"
Yu Xiao: "Jing Mo and I will be the male and female protagonists?"
"Yes," Xianzong said, "Father is a man who despises the poor and loves the rich. Xinglang happened to have killed someone, so father killed Xinglang and let you become the queen of Zhuri."
Yu Xiao: "Are you going to kill my Xiao Gu?"
Xianzong still took a look at Yu Xiaoxiao's expressionless face first, and then said: "Don't you have to act out the whole play? Not only Xinglang, but also your eldest brother of the Gu family, they will have to suffer this time."
"What do you mean?" Yu Xiaoxiao frowned.
Xianzong said: "Don't do anything yet, just listen to what your father has to say."
Yu Xiaoxiao raised her head and drank half a bowl of porridge, saying, "I don't want to do anything, just continue."
Xianzong sighed and said, "The Gu brothers are famous for their friendship and respect for each other. Xinglang was rejected and thrown away by our Yu family. If Yanruo and Gu Xiaoer do nothing, isn't it the same as telling Mo Wen that we are acting with him?"
Yu Xiao: "So my elder brother and second brother have to go to the Eternal Life Temple with Xiao Gu?"
Xianzong quickly shook his head and said, "No, Mo Wen, if you use the lives of these two brothers to test Xinglang, do you think Xinglang would kill his two brothers or himself?"
Yu Xiaoxiao's eyebrows were twisted into a knot, and she said, "Then what do you want to do?"
"Which is more important, brotherhood or the lives of the family members?" Xianzong said, "In this drama, the Gu family will abandon Xinglang for the sake of the family."
Yu Xiaoxiao..., do you have to be so cruel?
"Linglong," Xianzong said to Yuxiao, "If we don't force Xinglang to death, we are harming Xinglang."
"Then I might as well beat him half to death," Yu Xiao said, "Why bother acting out such a heart-wrenching scene?"
Xianzong-_-|||, you beat Gu Xinglang half to death, does that mean it’s not heartbreaking?
"I marry Jing Mo?" Yu Xiaoxiao chuckled and said, "Isn't this ridiculous? He doesn't have a girlfriend anymore? Why would he marry me? True love? Will Mo Wen believe him? Do you think Mo Wen is an idiot?"
"About this matter," Xianzong said, "Mo Wen once used Jing Mo and you to instigate Xing Lang."
"What, what?" Yu Xiaoxiao was shocked.
Xianzong said: "This is a true story. Xinglang told Jingmo himself."
"It turns out Mo Wen is really an idiot," Yu Xiaoxiao muttered to herself.
Xianzong said: "I believe more in the saying that there is no smoke without fire."
Yu Xiaoxiao blinked and said, "What do you mean? Are you implying that there is something going on between Jing Mo and me? Nonsense, how is this possible?!" This is the mistress of the cruel empress, what does it have to do with her? !
Xianzong said: "It's best if you don't have any ideas."
"No," Yu Xiao said, "Dad, what image do I have in your mind?"
Xianzong kept his mouth shut, fearing that he would blurt out the truth, and he would be beaten.
"I," Yu Xiaoxiao wanted to confess. After thinking for a long time, she remembered what the old lady said and said to her tyrant father, "I am a member of the Gu family in life and a ghost of the Gu family in death!"
