"Once you get to Xuantian City, go to Fulai Hutong and find a man named Ren Da," Gui Ning said to Yu Xiao, "He will pass the message to me for you."
Yu Xiaoxiao now looked at Gui Ning with a new respect and said, "So you still have your own people."
Gui Ning said with some embarrassment: "He is my wet nurse's son."
Yu Xiao: "Can you trust me?"
Gui Ning said, "If he can't be trusted, why should I tell you about him?"
"But will he trust me?" Yu Xiaoxiao added, "What if he doesn't trust me and I beat him up?"
Returning home...
"Haven't you thought about this problem?" Yu Xiaoxiao sighed again. Besides being a mascot, what else can this thing be used for?
Gui Ning was embarrassed by Yu Xiaoxiao, and suddenly he got angry at her and said, "This is all your fault."
"What?" Yu Xiaoxiao waved her fist this time with a bit of threat in mind, "Don't think I won't beat you up." This guy is stupid himself, and he blames her?
"You took all the tokens I had with me," Gui Ning shouted at Yu Xiaoxiao.
Yu Xiaoxiao: "Haha, blame me. It was me who caused you to be captured by the Eternal Life Temple."
I returned home in tears.
"Fulai Hutong, Ren Da," Yu Xiao: "I've got it in mind, I'll figure it out myself, bye."
Guining said, "Wait."
Yu Xiaoxiao watched Gui Ning take out a handkerchief, bite the index finger of his right hand, and quickly write a letter in blood on the handkerchief.
"Here you go," Gui Ning put the blood letter into Yu Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "Ren Da will believe you when he sees this letter."
Yu Xiaoxiao muttered, "Just bring some pen and ink."
Gui Ning stared at Yu Xiaoxiao, her eyes slightly red, and said, "You have to be careful. Gu Xinglang would not want to see anything happen to you."
Yu Xiaoxiao nodded solemnly and said to Guining: "I will be careful. Goodbye."
Yu Xiaoxiao's figure disappeared in the night that was about to be replaced by day. When Xianzong ran out of the front courtyard gate, he did not see his daughter.
"This girl just left like that?" Xianzong looked at the stone road in front of him with some disbelief. The road stretched straight for a hundred meters and then turned south.
"Uncle," Jingmo whispered to Xianzong, "The princess will be fine."
Xianzong closed his eyes, then opened them again and said to the chief eunuch standing beside him, "Call all the ministers in."
The chief eunuch received the order and trotted all the way to the main gate of the imperial palace.
After dawn, the people of Fengjing City, which was riddled with wounds, were once again bathed in sunlight. Having endured a sleepless night, they stood in the sunlight but were still frightened.
Xianzong sat in the imperial study, looking coldly at the ministers who asked him to execute the Gu brothers.
"Gu Xinglang attempted to kill the emperor, and his entire clan should be executed," an old minister knelt on the ground and said to Emperor Xianzong in a loud voice.
"We second this motion!" More than a dozen ministers responded in unison.
Yingnianyun and others were anxious but at a loss at this moment. They didn't know how to plead for Gu Xingnuo and Gu Xingyan, and how to forgive a man who killed his king and his mother.
Xianzong tapped the imperial desk with his finger, sneered, and said, "Execute Gu Yanruo and his brother? Where were you when the imperial palace was in danger last night?"
All the ministers were speechless.
"The one who led the troops into the palace to rescue me was Gu Xingruo," Xianzong slammed the imperial desk vigorously, "You damned bastards, tell me, where were you last night? You hid in the mansion, afraid of death, or you fled with your family and abandoned me. How dare you tell me now to kill all nine clans of the Gu family?!"
The daughter left without saying goodbye, the son-in-law died, the war lasted all night, the future was uncertain, the worries and anxieties were like a huge rock pressing on Xianzong's heart, making him breathless. At this moment, the ministers became Xianzong's punching bags. In a rage, Xianzong made all the ministers kneel on the ground and dared not say a word.
After a round of cursing, Xianzong took a deep breath.
"Gu Xingnuo, Gu Xingyan made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion last night. Princess, please pardon me," Xianzong slowed down his tone and said in front of all the ministers, "I will pardon the death penalty for the Gu brothers and order them to make meritorious contributions while serving their sentence."
All the ministers were shocked by Emperor Xianzong's rage just now. Now they saw Emperor Xianzong picking up Gu Xingnuo and his brothers high up and putting them down gently. They felt unwilling but did not dare to speak at this time.
Xianzong walked back to the imperial desk and sat down, and then said, "There are still some details about Hua Chunlin's treason that have not been investigated. After the inner court investigates, we will judge his crime."
All the ministers remained kneeling on the ground, and no one spoke.
"The eldest prince, Yu Ziqing, has been handed over to the inner court for imprisonment," Xianzong said in a cold voice when talking about his eldest son.
The ministers understood that the eldest prince and the Hua family were finished.
"Zhu Ri Xin Jun asked me to marry the princess as his queen the day before yesterday, and I just agreed to it." At this point, Xianzong's voice slowed down and he smiled. "Two days later, the princess will go back to Zhu Ri with Jing Mo to get married. This is my blessing from heaven."
The fact that Jing Mo wanted to marry Princess Linglong had long been no secret in the court and the country of Fengtian. But now that Emperor Xianzong had said it with their own ears, the ministers still didn't know what to do. A good girl would never marry two husbands, so what did Your Highness the Princess mean by this?
The ministers who were quick-witted immediately understood why Emperor Xianzong spared the Gu brothers. If he had not been abandoned, how could Gu Xinglang have been driven crazy? His Majesty was indirectly compensating the Gu family.
"Someone, announce the decree," Xianzong leaned back on the throne and ordered the chief eunuch beside him.
The chief eunuch hurriedly opened the imperial edict that Emperor Xianzong had written in advance and read it aloud.
When the ministers heard this, they realized that it was an imperial decree ordering people to accompany the bride, and the number of people was so large that they were stunned.
After the chief eunuch finished reading the imperial edict, he saw that the ministers were kneeling on the ground without making any sound, so he asked, "Will you all accept the edict?"
The ministers were awakened from their dream. When their names were called, the ministers in the imperial study hurriedly said, "I obey your order."
"I am busy with state affairs," Xianzong sighed, "otherwise I would personally send the princess to be executed."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty," the clever and flattering minister heard the sigh of Emperor Xianzong and hurriedly said loudly, "Congratulations to Your Majesty on finding a good match."
With someone taking the lead, many of the ministers began to congratulate the royal family on this marriage.
Yingnianyun and other friends of the Gu family looked unhappy at the moment, but they did not speak up for Gu Xinglang. First, Gu Xinglang was now a traitor, his crime was unforgivable, and he could no longer be a royal consort. Second, the princess would become the queen of Zhuri, which was an irresistible marriage for any royal lady. Third, a marriage with Zhuri would be a great thing for Fengtian. The British scholars did not know how to object.
At this point, Xianzong finally smiled and said, "Although last night was dangerous, looking back today, it was just a false alarm. I will have good fortune in the future, and great fortune at that."
At this time, someone reported outside the imperial study: "Your Majesty, Gu Xingnuo and Gu Xingyan have arrived."
Xianzong's face, which had just smiled, darkened again, and he said in a cold voice, "Bring him in."
