"Is it beautiful?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked Gu Xinglang.
"Yeah," Gu Xinglang turned his head and kissed Yu Xiaoxiao on the forehead.
Yu Xiaoxiao nibbled on the walnut cake in her hand and said, "Can you tell where our home is?"
Gu Xinglang looked into the distance, pointed at a small square, and said, "There?"
Yu Xiaoxiao raised her head and stamped Gu Xinglang's face, saying, "The answer is correct, I'll give you a reward."
Gu Xinglang grinned, lowered his head, and took the small walnut that Yu Xiaoxiao had placed on the edge of her mouth and put it into his mouth.
Yu Xiaoxiao took Gu Xinglang to lie on the glazed tiles and said to him, "Just sleep in the sun for a while. You will be the protagonist tonight, Xiao Gu."
Gu Xinglang looked at the blue sky and white clouds above his head, held Yu Xiaoxiao's hand, hummed softly, and said, "Xiaoxiao, I want to sleep for a while."
Yu Xiaoxiao hurriedly said, "Go to sleep, I'll stay here with you."
Gu Xinglang closed his eyes, the sun shone warmly on his body, the person he loved most was by his side, the air was filled with his familiar scent, Gu Xinglang felt very satisfied at this moment. Away from the world, with Yu Xiaoxiao by his side, Young Master Gu had nothing else to ask for.
The young couple was sleeping in the sun on the rooftop of the watchtower, but the entire imperial palace began to be turbulent. The atmosphere was like the prelude to a coming rainstorm. Although nothing had happened yet, everyone felt breathless.
Xiao Wei entered the palace and was given some instructions by Emperor Xianzong in the side hall of the imperial study. Then he left the palace and returned to Gu Mansion, where he talked for a while with Gu Xingnuo and Gu Xingyan, who were dressed in mourning clothes, in the study.
After listening to Xiao Wei's words, Gu Xingyan punched on Gu Dashao's desk and said anxiously: "Let Xinglang go tonight."
Gu Xingnuo pinched his brows and said, "Whether he leaves early or late, Xinglang will leave eventually. Why are you so angry about this?"
Gu Xingyan kicked the desk and sat aside to sulk. Thinking about what his brother was going to face, the second young master Gu felt uncomfortable. He just couldn't get over this hurdle. Is that not okay?
Young Master Gu asked Xiao Wei to sit down and whispered, "Everything has been arranged for His Majesty."
Xiao Wei said, "When I left the palace, the emperor summoned the adults who were kneeling outside the palace gate, but the prince consort was not there, so the eldest master does not need to worry."
"So will Xinglang go directly out of the city tonight?" Young Master Gu asked again.
Xiao Wei said, "The emperor said that the prince consort should leave the city directly from the north gate."
"The military camp outside the north gate"
"At dusk, His Majesty will mobilize the troops outside the city to enter the city, so that Your Majesty will not have to fight with this army again."
Gu Xingnuo shook his head slightly and said, "What about the pursuers? How are they arranged?"
Xiao Wei was stunned by Gu Xingnuo's question.
Gu Xingnuo noticed the change in Xiao Wei's expression, and he immediately asked, "Did the emperor not tell you about the pursuers?"
Xiao Wei said: "The emperor didn't say that."
Gu Ershao said: "Then Xinglang ran alone on the street and thought Mo Wen was a fool."
Xiao Wei hesitated for a moment, then said to Master Gu: "Master, I will go to the palace again."
"Master," Gu Lin's voice came from outside the door, and he said in a low voice, "General Xiao Jiang is here."
"Please come in," said Mr. Gu hurriedly.
After a while, Jiang Zhuojun, with his hood lowered, followed Gu Lin into the study.
The three people in the room stood waiting for him. After the two sides exchanged greetings, Jiang Zhuojun said, "Just now when Xiao Wei entered the palace, my uncle didn't make some things clear. Jing Mo asked me to explain it to you again."
Young Master Gu asked Jiang Zhuojun to sit down, Gu Lin went out to watch the door, and Xiao Wei poured a cup of tea for his brother-in-law.
After Jiang Zhuojun drank a few sips of hot tea, Young Master Gu asked, "Is it about the pursuers?"
Jiang Zhuojun said, "When the time comes, there will be chaos in the North City. Uncle Shi and his men want to prevent the people of the Eternal Life Temple from seeing how Xing Lang left the city."
"Making trouble" Gu Xingnuo's face looked even worse, and he asked, "What kind of chaos?"
Jiang Zhuojun said: "Drive the people in the north city out of their homes."
Gu Ershao said: "How can we catch up with this?"
Young Master Gu whispered, "Set a few fires, shout a few times, kill people, help, the fire is right in front of us, and the people will naturally not hide in their homes anymore."
Xiao Wei said: "What should we burn?"
Jiang Zhuojun said: "The Minister of War's residence is in the north city. Uncle Shi will order people to set fire to his residence."
Young Master Gu asked: "What about the people in the mansion?"
Jiang Zhuojun shook his head and said, "Uncle Shi meant not to let the people inside come out."
That means killing the entire family.
"What about the princess?" asked the Second Young Master Gu after a moment's silence.
General Xiao Jiang's expression twisted for a moment, and he said, "Let the princess do whatever she wants. Anyway, we can't stop her from doing whatever she wants."
Gu Da Shao, Gu Er Shao
Xiaowei
Jiang Zhuojun cleared his throat and said, "When the time comes, Big Brother Gu and Second Brother Gu will have to go into the palace to protect the emperor. The emperor will scold Xing Lang in public, and then..." Jiang Zhuojun stopped talking here.
"Then we were imprisoned," said Young Master Gu on behalf of General Xiao Jiang, "and then the princess interceded for us, and we were released from prison, opened the ancestral hall, and exiled Xinglang from the clan."
Jiang Zhuojun nodded.
"Damn it," Young Master Gu cursed in a low voice and asked his eldest brother, "When should I go to the village?"
"After three days," Jiang Zhuojun said, "expel Xinglang from the clan, and you, Second Brother Gu, will go to the hometown immediately."
"Then my elder brother..."
Jiang Zhuojun looked at Young Master Gu again and said, "Jing Mo means that Brother Gu escorted the emperor to Wangxiang Pass."
"The emperor is going to lead the army in person," Young Master Gu said in surprise.
Jiang Zhuojun said: "Yes."
"Then who will stay in the capital?" asked Young Master Gu.
Jiang Zhuojun's voice suddenly lowered, and he said, "I heard from my uncle that the princess's grandfather will lead the troops in Fengjing City for the time being, and the government affairs will be handled by the British academicians for the time being."
"Jiang family," Young Master Gu muttered to himself.
Jiang Zhuojun suddenly bowed to Young Master Gu and said, "I'd like to congratulate Brother Gu first."
Even those who didn't care about government affairs, such as the Second Young Master Gu, could understand this. Looking at the people who stayed behind in Fengjing City, the Seventh Prince Yu Ziyi was the crown prince of Fengtian and the future emperor.
Young Master Gu waved his hand at Jiang Zhuojun and said, "Let's talk about the future later. We have to get through this first."
Jiang Zhuojun smiled and said, "At least it's a good thing to have no worries."
"What about you in Suzaku?" Young Master Gu asked Jiang Zhuojun.
"When the news of Xinglang gets out," Jiang Zhuojun said, "my Majesty will personally lead the army to Wangxiang Pass or Yanhui City."
"What about you?" asked Young Master Gu.
Jiang Zhuojun said, "I'll go back to Suzaku and take some damned people to Zhuri to attend Jingmo's wedding."
Young Master Gu turned his head to look at the sky outside the window and whispered, "When the time comes, the capital of Zhuri will surely be stained with blood."
