Yu Xiao: "About the same."
The eldest boss said, "How can this be similar?"
Yu Xiao: "I think it's OK, but whether it works or not depends on the actual results."
The boss almost laughed. Wouldn’t it be useless to say this?
"Then let's start preparing," Yu Xiaoxiao stood up from the stone bench.
Xiao Zhuang said, "Shall we wait outside the palace gate?"
Xiao Wei shook his head and said, "Not outside the palace gates. Outside the palace gates is the place where people from the Temple of Eternal Life are most likely to target you."
Yu Xiaoxiao felt that what Xiao Wei said made sense, so she said, "Then we'll wait in North City."
When Xiao Wei heard what Yu Xiaoxiao said, he nodded. This was a good idea. When North City was in chaos, they could blend into the crowd. This was the true way of not conspicuous.
The eldest boss stood up and said, "Then wait in the North City while we prepare our luggage."
"The meeting is adjourned," Yu Xiaoxiao announced the end of the meeting.
Xiao Wei said, "Princess, are you going back to the palace now?"
"I'll go eat first," Yu Xiaoxiao ran to the kitchen and said from a distance, "I heard Mammy say to go to the kitchen to cook."
Everyone..., it's already this late, why are you still thinking about eating?
Nanny Wang was busy in the kitchen preparing a table of dishes. Yu Xiaoxiao sat in the kitchen to eat and said to Nanny Wang: "Mammy, you must close the door at home tonight. Don't open the door to anyone who comes."
Nanny Wang paused stirring the soup with the spoon and asked, "Will something happen in the city tonight?"
"Well," Yu Xiao said, "Xiao Gu will leave tonight, and I may leave tomorrow."
Nanny Wang threw the soup spoon into the pot, walked up to Yu Xiaoxiao, and asked in a trembling voice, "So soon?"
Yu Xiaoxiao gnawed on the chicken leg without even raising her head, and said, "If we leave early, we can come back early. It's okay."
Nanny Wang sat opposite Yu Xiaoxiao. Faced with this kind of thing, Nanny felt helpless and there was nothing she could do.
Yu Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at the soup cooking on the stove and called out to Nanny Wang anxiously, "Mammy, the soup is going to get burnt!"
Nanny Wang sighed, resigned herself to her fate and stood up and walked to the stove to look at the soup pot. The only thing she could do was cook.
In the Imperial Palace, Gu Xinglang finished the glass of wine in front of him, and Jiang Zhuojun raised his hand and poured him another glass.
Zuo You took the bowl and poured the wine. He tilted his head back and drank the whole bowl of wine. Then he said to Gu Xinglang, "Your Fengtian wine is not strong. Next time I will treat you to our Baihu wine."
Jing Mo took a sip of wine from the glass and said, "You can't get drunk today."
Zuo You rolled his eyes at Jing Mo and said, "It's impossible for me to get drunk."
Su Zhao didn't touch the wine in front of him. He looked at Zuo You and said, "You have to protect our uncle tonight. If there is chaos in the palace and there are assassins, we will be unable to defend ourselves."
Zuo You said, "Do you think I can't do anything? If I don't die, nothing will happen to my uncle. Is that okay?"
Jing Mo glanced at the wine in Gu Xinglang's glass and said, "I am going to Diling with Fu Boyuan. You are the only one in the palace who is guarding my uncle. There are also the two young masters Su and the princess's brothers. You..."
Zuo You put down his wine bowl after being told by Jing Mo, and said impatiently: "I don't want to drink anymore. Is it okay not to drink?" Who suggested drinking in the first place?
Gu Xinglang could smell the flavor of white wine, but once the wine went down his throat, he couldn't taste anything.
Jiang Zhuojun pushed a bowl of cooked duck blood soup in front of Gu Xinglang and whispered, "Eat it."
Gu Xinglang ate the duck blood with great relish, and the expression on his face was obviously different from when he was drinking and eating just now.
Jing Mo and a few others saw it, but pretended not to see it.
Xianzong was sitting in the imperial study at that time, and his ministers were kneeling on the ground and speaking passionately. From the beginning, they asked Xianzong to investigate the death of Madam Xu, and now they asked Xianzong to investigate the Gu family, saying that the third son of the Gu family was unfilial, and if this continued, the Gu family would become another Zhao family.
Xianzong was secretly disdainful. Go ahead and make a fuss, the emperor thought to himself, you will cry as soon as it gets dark.
When the ministers saw that Emperor Xianzong had not spoken for a long time, one of the imperial censors knocked his head heavily on the ground and said to Emperor Xianzong, "Your Majesty, you must not tolerate this matter."
Xianzong still didn't say anything. Since he didn't say anything, the ministers didn't dare to rush up and beat him.
"Your Majesty," another minister said, "Please make a prompt decision."
Xianzong picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, then put the cup on the imperial desk and continued to stare at his ministers.
At this time, a minister proposed to Emperor Xianzong: "Your Majesty, should we summon Gu Xingnuo to the palace?"
Xianzong looked down at his hands and picked at his fingernails.
Ministers..., how can they speak when the emperor is like this?
Xianzong waited for a while, and when no one spoke, he asked, "Anything else you want to say?"
"Your Majesty!"
As soon as Emperor Xianzong spoke, a dozen people suddenly shouted "Your Majesty".
Xianzong said: "I have killed all nine clans of the Zhao family. From what you mean, I must also kill all nine clans of the Gu family now?"
"Your Majesty!" A minister kowtowed to Emperor Xianzong and said, "He is unfilial to his mother. The third son of the Gu family can't even be a good son, so how can he be a minister?"
Xianzong asked, "How do you know that the three Yanruo brothers are unfilial to their mother? Did you see it?"
The minister was choked by Xianzong's question. How could he have seen what happened in the backyard of Gu's mansion?
There were also some smart ones among the ministers. When they heard Emperor Xianzong calling "Young Master Gu" or "Yan Ruo", they felt that they might have done something wrong by following him into the palace today. If the Gu family had not lost the emperor's favor, then doing this would only make the emperor annoyed and would not bring any benefit at all.
"Xu has lived in the capital for many years," Xianzong said, "I haven't heard any of you tell me that Yan Ruo and the others were unfilial to their mother. What? Now that she's dead, you all come here to defend her? Hearing is false, seeing is believing. Even if the people go to court, they still have to present evidence. What are you doing? Just because of a few words from you, I'm punishing Yan Ruo and the others?"
Xianzong was reprimanding his ministers when a palace guard reported outside the gate: "Your Majesty, the brothers Xu Wencong and Xu Wenming are kneeling outside the palace gate, saying they want to seek justice for my sister."
"What Xu Wencong, Xu Wenming?" Xianzong asked, "Who is this person?"
A minister said to Emperor Xianzong: "Your Majesty, these two are Madam Xu's brothers."
Of course, Xianzong knew who these two were, but he did not expect that they would come and join in the fun. If he had known this, he would have sent people to kill them.
"Your Majesty," a minister knelt forward a few steps, and said to Emperor Xianzong with his forehead touching the ground, "Even Xu's brother wants to seek justice. Your Majesty cannot tolerate this. The morals of the world must not be corrupted, Your Majesty!"
Xianzong looked out the window and wondered why it wasn't dark yet.
At this time, Yu Xiaoxiao was standing on the city wall of the Imperial Palace, looking at her two uncles below, with her hands behind her back, and moving her fingers.
General Luo, who happened to be on the tower, used his body to block Yu Xiaoxiao so that no one could see the princess. He advised Yu Xiaoxiao in a low voice: "Princess, they are Madam Xu's brothers after all."
General Luo's subtext is, Princess, please don't kill him...
