As soon as Jing Mo mentioned Her Royal Highness the Princess, Gui Ning became dispirited.
"If you don't know how to deal with Fu Boyuan and his wife," Jing Mo leaned his head towards Gui Ning and whispered, "then how will you face the ministers when you sit in the Golden Throne Hall of the Xuanwu Emperor's Palace in the future? I will order someone to bring Fu Boyuan and his wife here. You comfort Wu, forgive Fu Boyuan, promise him a high position and generous salary, and reminisce with him about your old brotherhood."
Gui Ning looked at Jing Mo timidly.
"You don't have to be the emperor," Jing Mo said, "but you can't hold us back now. When Mo Wen dies, you can continue to paint and write. You are not the only one alive in the Gui royal family. When the time comes, who you will give the great country to has nothing to do with me or any of us."
Gui Ning lowered his head after hearing what Jing Mo said.
Jing Mo raised his hand and lifted Gui Ning's chin, forcing the Fifth Prince to look up at him, and said, "If Mo Wen doesn't die, then we will all die. You have to hold on for a while, even if you don't want to. If your Xuanwu army stands on Mo Wen's side, think about the consequences. People who are attached to mountains and rivers are not evil people. Think about your Xuanwu soldiers."
Gui Ning dodged his gaze for a moment, and said to Jing Mo, "If they go against Mo Wen, they will die too."
"Dying for Mo Wen, aren't you afraid that they will never be reborn after death?" Jing Mo asked Gui Ning, "Do you think that since they are all dying, there is no difference?"
Gui Ning was left speechless by what Jing Mo said.
"You just said Fengtian is good," Jing Mo continued to use words to hurt Gui Ning's heart: "What if Fengtian is gone?"
Gui Ning opened his mouth, but still couldn't say anything.
"I'll go get someone to bring Fu Boyuan and his wife over here," Jing Mo stood up.
Gui Ning watched Jing Mo walk out of the house and suddenly asked Jing Mo, "Do you think I'm trash?"
Jing Mo stopped, looked back at Gui Ning, and said, "Who do you think you are? I don't want a painter now."
"I……"
"Be a person protected by the princess?" Jing Mo didn't want to listen to Gui Ning at all at this moment, and said quickly: "Do you want the princess to avenge you? Who are you to her?"
Jing Mo walked out of the living room.
Gui Ning was sitting in the house, listening to Jing Mo telling someone outside the door to bring Fu Boyuan and his wife over. His hands were clenched into fists, but they were still shaking slightly.
Jing Mo stood in the courtyard of the warm room and shook his head and sighed. Gui Ning didn't like fighting with others by nature, so he placed his hope of delaying the Xuanwu army on this person. Jing Mo felt that this was their weak point.
Xianzong took Gu Xinglang into the side hall where the Su brothers were. Su Zhao, who was originally sitting, saw the two enter the hall and stood up from his seat. Su Yi, who was sitting in a wheelchair, also supported himself on the armrests of the wheelchair with both hands, trying to sit up straighter.
"No need to be so polite," Xianzong waved at Su Zhao and Su Yi.
Although Xianzong said there was no need to be polite, Su Yi and Su Zhao still saluted him.
Gu Xinglang looked at the bed and saw that the three Su Gen brothers were already fast asleep.
"After the princess gave them medicine, my second brother and the others felt better," Su Yi told Xianzong.
Xianzong sat down and said with a smile: "That girl talks crazy, but when it comes to saving people, we can still count on her."
"Second Brother Su and the others look better than they did at the beginning," although Gu Xinglang didn't see any improvement in the condition of Su Gen and the other two, he still said a few nice words.
Su Zhao asked: "Did Yiye confess?"
"I confessed," Gu Xinglang nodded and said, "I put a Gu on him."
Su Zhao raised his eyebrows.
Xianzong snorted.
Su Zhao said: "After the poison was cast, Yiye confessed everything?"
"He was drawing a topographical map of the mountain behind the Eternal Life Temple at the Ministry of Punishment," Gu Xinglang said. "Uncle Su was imprisoned in the mountain by Mo Wen, in the Seventeen Caves of the mountain."
After Su Yi and Su Zhao heard what Gu Xinglang said, their breathing stagnated and their hearts ached, but they did not show any excitement.
Xianzong comforted the brothers, saying, "There will be a day when we will be reunited."
Su Zhao forced a smile and said, "I'm grateful for your kind words, uncle."
Su Yi looked at Gu Xinglang and suddenly said, "Xinglang, you look very bad, are you feeling unwell?"
For Emperor Xianzong, this was like someone giving him a pillow when he was dozing off. He was just worrying about how to spread the news that Gu Xinglang had released the poison, causing harm to the enemy by a thousand and loss of his own eight hundred. If he deliberately spread the news, who among Jing Mo's gang would believe it?
Su Zhao looked at Gu Xinglang. Gu Xinglang had fair skin, so as long as his complexion was not rosy, it would be reasonable to say that he was pale.
"Xinglang?" Su Yi called Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang said: "A little bit."
"Heh," Xianzong sneered and said, "If you have a little, you don't need to see the imperial physician."
Su Zhao asked with concern: "What did the imperial physician say?"
Gu Xinglang shook his head and said, "Nothing."
"Don't use poison anymore in the future," Xianzong looked at Gu Xinglang and sighed, "Aren't you hurting yourself if you keep doing things that are bad for your health?"
"Listen to the doctor," Su Yi said to Gu Xinglang, "Even if you go to the Temple of Eternal Life, don't release the poisonous insect unless it is necessary. You still have most of your life to live with the princess, Xinglang, you have to take care of your body."
Gu Xinglang uttered a low “hmm”.
Xianzong said: "Gu Xiaosan, do you have money under your feet?"
Gu Xinglang raised his head after hearing what Xianzong said.
Su Yi saw Gu Xinglang looking up and winked at him.
Gu Xinglang understood immediately that this Brother Su and his father-in-law were concerned about the same thing, and Su Yi was doing this purely for his sake.
Su Zhao looked at his elder brother, then at Gu Xinglang, and his mind became clear. The new Lord of Azure Dragon said, "Listen to my elder brother, you won't go wrong. Xinglang, if you don't take care of yourself, be careful or I'll complain to the princess."
Su Zhao's joke made the four of them laugh.
At this time, the chief eunuch of the Imperial Study came to report: "Your Majesty, several officials from the Imperial Censorate have submitted memorials."
"Bring it in," Xianzong said.
A secret guard appeared and took several memorials into the side hall.
Xianzong flipped through a few memorials and took a look at them, then casually stuffed them into the incense burner beside him.
Gu Xinglang asked: "Your Majesty, what is this?"
Xianzong said: "I will report you and ask me to investigate the death of Xu thoroughly."
The atmosphere in the hall, which had just improved, suddenly became gloomy again.
"These censors are very quick," Su Zhao whispered.
"There are people from the Eternal Life Temple inside," Xianzong half-closed his eyes and said, "This bastard brought a few idiots to force me."
At the signal of Emperor Xianzong, the secret guard rushed out of the door and asked, "Where are these imperial censors now?"
The chief eunuch replied, "The lords are waiting for orders outside the palace gate."
"A woman from the inner house of the Gu family died, what does it have to do with them?" Xianzong said angrily, "They care about everything in the world, and they even care about the inner house of the Gu family? Get them out, you bastards!"
"I obey your order," the chief eunuch hurried to the palace gate to convey the order.
"Nothing." Xianzong patted the back of Gu Xinglang's hand and said, "I will protect you where I should."
