"There's food on the table," Xianzong pointed to a coffee table in the inner hall and said to Yuxiao: "Go get some food." Forget about looking for girls, these guys have to find a way to survive first.
There was food to eat, so Yu Xiaoxiao couldn't just stand there and watch. In a flash, the princess went to the tea table that Emperor Xianzong pointed to, opened the snack box, which contained many small Jiangnan biscuits.
Xianzong glanced out the window and sighed, "It's almost dawn."
Yu Xiaoxiao held the snack box and sat back on Emperor Xianzong's dragon couch, saying, "Dad, please bear with it for a while. Just think of this moment as the darkness before dawn."
Xianzong saw that in just a short while, half of the biscuits were gone.
"Want to eat?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked.
Xianzong sighed and said, "You eat, I'm not hungry." His daughter was about to go on a long journey, and if he couldn't even provide her with enough snacks, how could that be acceptable?
At this time, a secret guard came to report: "Your Majesty, Gu Xingnuo and Gu Xingyan are kneeling outside the imperial study to plead guilty."
Hearing that her elder and second brothers Gu were coming, Yu Xiaoxiao subconsciously stood up to meet them.
Xianzong shouted, "Where are you going?"
Yu Xiaoxiao said as a matter of course: "I'm going to see my elder brother Gu and my second brother Gu."
Xianzong said: "Sit down quietly. Do you remember what we are doing now?"
Yu Xiaoxiao..., by the way, they are still acting now.
"Let them kneel down," Xianzong said to the secret guard.
Yu Xiao: "Dad, it's quite cold outside, and my sister-in-law is pregnant."
Xianzong said: "Your sister-in-law is pregnant, what does it have to do with Gu Yanruo kneeling?"
"Brother Gu is kneeling, my sister-in-law must be worried about him, right?" Yu Xiaoxiao reasoned with Xianzong: "If she is in a bad mood, it will affect the baby in her belly. If something happens to the baby, what will you use to compensate?"
Xianzong-_-|||, did he owe the Gu family in his previous life?
"We can still pay compensation for burning down someone's house," Yu Xiao said, "You killed the baby in my sister-in-law's belly, we can't afford the compensation."
"Alas!" Xianzong sighed, and he stopped struggling. He said to the secret guards, "Send them to the Ministry of Punishment."
The secret guard raised his head to look at Emperor Xianzong and said with a sad face, "Your Majesty, the Fear of Punishment Department has been burned down."
Xianzong sat up suddenly and asked loudly, "What? The Ministry of Punishment was burned down?"
The secret guard replied timidly: "Yes."
With a "bang", Xianzong fell onto the dragon couch again.
Yu Xiaoxiao patted her father on the chest and said, "Dad, you have to hold on. When I came back, I saw fires everywhere in the city."
"Shut up!" Xianzong shouted at Yu Xiaoxiao.
Yu Xiao: "What's the point of me shutting up? If I shut up, will the fire stop? Zuo is leading people to put out the fire. He has been busy until now, and the fire at the main palace gate is still burning."
Xianzong was gasping for breath and wanted to die. What should he do?
The secret guard kneeling below wanted to beg Yu Xiaoxiao to shut up, saying that if she continued, the emperor would not be able to bear it.
Where should the Gu brothers be imprisoned? Xianzong thought with a headache, Dali Temple? No, if they were not imprisoned in front of him, what if the Gu brothers were assassinated? Is there a safe prison in Fengjing City? Xianzong thought about all the prisons he could think of, and finally found that none of them could make him feel at ease.
Yu Xiaoxiao gave Xianzong an idea at this time: "Why don't you find a place in the palace where no one lives, and you can lock my elder brother Gu and the second brother in there temporarily. We won't tell anyone, and no one outside will know that they are eating and drinking well in there."
Xianzong said: "Outside men are not allowed to enter the inner palace. Do you understand the rules?"
"Forget it," Yu Xiao said, "My elder and second brothers Gu are not casual people. My sister-in-law is pregnant! No matter how many girls you have in your harem, they will..."
"That's enough!" Xianzong interrupted Yu Xiaoxiao and said, "If you keep talking nonsense to me, I will send someone to beat them up."
Yu Xiaoxiao was annoyed by Xianzong's words, "What should we do? We agreed that this was just an act, you can't let my two brothers kneel outside like this, right?"
Xianzong said to the kneeling secret guard, "Take them to Gu Ziyang and tell the public that they were locked up in the palace's secret cell."
The secret guard received the order and retreated.
Yu Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "Is there a secret prison in the palace?"
"Fake!" Xianzong rolled his eyes.
Yu Xiaoxiao sniffed, "Is this okay?"
"I said yes, so it is," Xianzong said, "You continue to eat your snacks, I want to be quiet."
Yu Xiaoxiao shrugged her shoulders and while eating the biscuits herself, she did not forget to feed the poisonous insect in the small bamboo tube.
Xianzong sat up and took a look at the poisonous insect in the bamboo tube. He could no longer remain calm and asked, "Did Gu Xiaosan give this to you?"
Yu Xiao: "Yeah, Xiao Gu said that this way he would know where I am."
Xianzong said, "How could he know this even though we are thousands of miles apart?"
Yu Xiao: "Who knows? This is Xiao Gu's first time as a human Gu. We won't know until we try it."
Xianzong was very happy. This was his first time to be a human Gu. Could this be done by counting the number of times?
"It doesn't look very energetic right now," Yu Xiaoxiao poured the plump poisonous insect into her hand, showed it to Xianzong, and said, "This shows that my little Gu is not doing well now."
After hearing what Yu Xiaoxiao said, Xianzong couldn't bear it anymore and said, "It would be a miracle if he can get well now. Xinglang can take care of himself. You have to trust him."
Yu Xiaoxiao watched the Gu worm eating the snack crumbs and whispered, "If I don't believe him, I won't let him go. But belief or not has nothing to do with mood. Dad, now even snacks can't make me happy."
Xianzong was worried about his son-in-law just now, and now he felt sorry for his daughter, but he couldn't ask Gu Xinglang to come back now, so he could only ask Yu Xiaoxiao: "Then what do you want to eat? The imperial kitchen is not burned down, so your father will ask the imperial chef to make you whatever you want."
Yu Xiaoxiao poured the remaining shortbread into her mouth, shook her head at Xianzong, and said, "Forget it, I don't have an appetite now."
Xianzong looked at the empty snack box and said, "I have no appetite, why are you eating so much?"
Jing Mo's voice came from outside the inner hall door at this time: "Uncle, can we come in?"
Xianzong quickly sat up straight and said, "Come in."
Jing Mo walked in front, with Su Zhao and Jiang Zhuojun following behind him.
Xianzong asked, "National Master Wuhuan and Junior Master haven't returned yet?"
Jing Mo said: "There are also people causing trouble in Huguo Temple. They went to Huguo Temple."
When Xianzong heard Jingmo's words, the first thing he asked was: "Huguo Temple is also on fire?!"
Jing Mo nodded.
Xianzong's heart trembled.
Yu Xiao: "Is this also in the script?"
Jing Mo said: "There are many people from the Eternal Life Temple in the Huguo Temple. We might as well take this opportunity to eliminate them all."
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at her father, the tyrant emperor, and said, "Dad, how much does it cost to rebuild a Huguo Temple?"
