Gu Xingnuo stood with his hand on the osmanthus tree beside him. It seemed that his princess sister-in-law had a hard time understanding the key point. "Princess, are you saying that you were the one who poisoned Master Fenglin?" Young Master Gu asked. This is the key point, okay?
Yu Xiaoxiao nodded. She was the one who changed the soup, so of course she was the one who poisoned Wen Fenglin.
Gu Xingnuo felt dizzy when he saw Yu Xiaoxiao nodding. Could he not nod?
Yu Xiao: "Brother, you look like you're about to collapse, are you okay?"
Gu Xingnuo sighed for a while, then looked at Yu Xiaoxiao and smiled. He was a soldier, and the worst that could happen was that he would die on the battlefield. He just didn't know if the emperor could survive with strength.
Yu Xiaoxiao thought about it, since she didn't hear Wen Fenglin's corner, she should let Brother Gu solve her doubts, so the princess looked at Master Gu and said, "Brother, tell me, why should a country be afraid of a Buddhist temple? This is not scientific."
Gu Xingnuo didn't want to delve into what science was, so he asked, "The Buddhist temple that the princess is talking about is the Eternal Life Temple?"
"Yes," Yu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Shouldn't the emperor be the most powerful?"
How to say this? Before Gu Xingnuo was born, or since who knows how many generations of ancestors of the Gu family, the Temple of Eternal Life has been a sacred place in this world, high above, and mortals can only kneel down and worship, but not blaspheme.
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at her elder brother and hesitated to speak, so she said, "Brother, don't you know what the Eternal Life Temple does?"
Gu Xingnuo said: "Princess, don't be anxious. Let me think about it."
Just tell her what the Eternal Life Temple is for. What's there to think about? Yu Xiaoxiao tapped her toes and said, "Okay, brother, you think about it, I'm not in a hurry."
Gu Xingnuo thought to himself that if you are not anxious, then I am. "Eternal Life Temple," Young Master Gu thought for a long time and said to Yu Xiao, "Princess, let me tell you this. There are the best doctors and craftsmen in the world. They have the best rice seeds and the best medicinal materials. The best books in our world are basically written by the monks in the Eternal Life Temple. They are rich enough to rival a country. Many emperors have learned how to govern the country and bring peace to the world from them. Many generals have learned martial arts there, and many civil officials have learned literature there. The Eternal Life Temple is the best academy in the world. Even the emperor was educated in the Eternal Life Temple when he was young. Most importantly, the Eternal Life Temple says that the most pious people can obtain eternal life there."
The best hospital, the best pharmaceutical company, the best breeding base, the best cultural publishing and distribution company, the top aristocratic elite school, the best military academy, the richest bank, Yu Xiaoxiao summarized the signs that should be hung on the wall of the Eternal Life Temple, and then Her Royal Highness the Princess was finally shocked. What kind of awesome existence is this?
Seeing that Her Royal Highness Princess did not speak for a long time after hearing what he said, Gu Xingnuo said, "The Queen is a believer of the Eternal Life Temple, how come Princess you don't know much about the Eternal Life Temple?"
Yu Xiaoxiaomo, she still doesn't know what the Queen looks like.
Gu Xingnuo whispered, "I heard from Xinglang that Princess, you seem to be dissatisfied with the Eternal Life Temple?"
Yu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "What about you, brother?" Before figuring out what Brother Gu's attitude was towards the Eternal Life Temple, Yu Xiaoxiao felt that it would be better for her not to tell the truth and just say that she wanted to demolish the temple.
Young Master Gu looked up at the sky, which was already turning pale, and said, "It's not fair."
"What?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked. Aren't they talking about the Temple of Eternal Life? What does this have to do with fairness?
Gu Xingnuo lowered his head and looked at Yu Xiao again: "Princess, you know it too, right?"
"Uh," although Yu Xiaoxiao didn't know what Brother Gu was talking to her, in order to keep the conversation going, Her Royal Highness nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."
"What Fengtian sends to the Eternal Life Temple every year accounts for most of Fengtian's tax grain and 70% of its tax silver," Gu Xingnuo said. "The Eternal Life Temple is rich enough to rival a country, but what do the people of Fengtian get in the end after working so hard every day?"
Taxes exist in every era. Even in the end times, in order to feed the army and scientific research institutions, taxation is still an important social system for human beings. Yu Xiaoxiao understood what Gu Xingnuo meant by tax grain and tax silver. Under the gaze of Master Gu, Yu Xiaoxiao asked, "Starve to death?"
Gu Xingnuo sighed and said, "The Eternal Life Temple is too greedy."
"Brother, have you ever learned martial arts in the Eternal Life Temple?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked.
Gu Xingnuo nodded and said, "I've been there, but Xingyan and Xinglang haven't been there."
"Oh, I see," Yu Xiao said, "Why? Didn't they say that many generals went to school?"
Gu Xingnuo's voice became even lower, and he said to Yu Xiao: "The Eternal Life Temple is far from being as good as the legend says. The princess is right not to like it."
"What's wrong with this Buddhist temple?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked.
Gu Xingnuo was obviously unwilling to talk to Yu Xiaoyongsheng Temple again, and said, "Princess, did Master Fenglin say what he would do next?"
Yu Xiao: "I saw that he was about to die, but he didn't say anything."
"What about the Imperial Master?"
"I don't know. When I left, he said that Wen Fenglin would not kill him again."
"Princess," Gu Xingnuo bent his waist slightly, aligned his line of sight with Yu Xiaoxiao's, and asked Yu Xiaoxiao in a low voice: "I'm going to ask you another very important question. Did anyone see you changing the dressing?"
"No," Yu Xiaoxiao said immediately. How could she let others see her cheating?
Gu Xingnuo said: "Then did you leave any evidence?"
Yu Xiaoxiao half opened her mouth. She wondered if people in this world practiced fingerprint identification. If Wen Fenglin checked the bowl, wouldn’t she be exposed?
Seeing that Yu Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, Gu Xingnuo asked, "Yes?"
Yu Xiao: "Brother, have you ever heard of fingerprints?"
"What?" Gu Xingnuo said.
"Then I don't have to be afraid," Yu Xiaoxiao assured Brother Gu, "No one can convict me." At worst, she could go to the Huguo Temple again and bring the bowl home.
"Don't tell anyone about this," Gu Xingnuo instructed Yu Xiaoxiao, "Grandfather is old, and Xinglang is still injured." Young Master Gu estimated that the old man could not handle this, and Gu Xinglang was still recovering from his injuries, so it would be better not to get provoked.
"Okay," Yu Xiaoxiao agreed to Master Gu. If she didn't tell him, wouldn't Wen Fenglin tell him? It was something that everyone knew, so she didn't have to say it.
"Go back to your room and rest," Gu Xingnuo smiled at Yu Xiaoxiao again and said, "If Xinglang wakes up and finds that the princess is not here, he will be worried about her."
Yu Xiaoxiao thought about how Gu Xinglang cared about her and felt very touched. She waved to Gu Dashao and said, "Then I'll go back. Good night, big brother."
Gu Xingnuo shook his head. It was already daybreak, why was he still waiting?
