Mrs. Sun was frightened by Master Gu's words of resigning herself to fate. When her family was in prison and waiting to die, her husband had never said such depressing words to her. "What happened?" Mrs. Sun's face changed, and her voice unconsciously raised. She asked Gu Xingnuo, who harmed the family again? Or, Yu Xiaoxiao's expressionless face appeared in Mrs. Sun's mind. Could it be the princess?
Gu Xingnuo smiled bitterly. How could he tell his wife about this? He said that the princess not only poisoned the young master of the Eternal Life Temple, but also tried to kill him? Even the old man might not be able to handle this, let alone his wife.
But the more Young Master Gu kept silent, the more anxious Madam Sun became. Just when she was about to ask her general what happened again, a steward from the mansion came running in and stood outside the study and said, "Young Master, there is a guard from the palace. The marshal wants you to go over quickly."
Gu Xingnuo secretly said, "It's coming. Whether it's a blessing or a curse, the Gu family can't escape it. "I'll go to my grandfather." Gu Xingnuo stood up and said to Madam Sun, "You go see Xun'er and Jin'er."
Madam Sun asked nervously, "Husband, are you really okay?"
Gu Xingnuo took Madam Sun into his arms and hugged her gently, then let go and strode out of the study.
Madam Sun fell down on the chair, panicking, and hurriedly ordered her personal maid standing outside the study, "Xiangyun, go follow the eldest young master."
The maid Xiangyun responded with a "yes", ran out of the corridor and chased after Gu Xingnuo.
"Please don't get into any trouble," Mrs. Sun sat in the study and prayed silently. If she was captured from her home and thrown into prison by soldiers again, Mrs. Sun was not sure if she would go insane.
Gu Xingnuo hurried to the front hall of the mansion and saw a guard in official uniform standing in the yard. Young Master Gu quickly walked to his grandfather who was standing at the bottom of the stairs and called him softly, "Grandfather."
The old man nodded and said to Gu Xingnuo, "Why would the emperor send someone to convey the imperial decree when he sent a guard? This person didn't bring the imperial decree with him. Could it be that the emperor just gave a verbal order this time?" Isn't it too much of a joke that the emperor just gave a verbal order to clear the name of the Gu family?
Gu Xingnuo looked at the imperial guards standing there. Young Master Gu's gaze was like a knife, piercing the imperial guard who came to inform the Gu family to prepare for the emperor's arrival and quietly swallowed his saliva. Who said that this young master of the Gu family was a gentle person? Just this gaze was enough to shave him off.
"What is he still doing standing there?" The imperial guards were silent. The old man was not in a position to move, so he asked his eldest grandson in confusion, "Is this man here to deliver an imperial decree?"
Gu Xingnuo whispered, "Grandfather, things have changed. I'm afraid the imperial guards are here for something else."
The old man was shocked and asked, "Someone invaded my border?"
Gu Xingnuo shook his head. It would be great if the enemy really invaded the territory!
The old man pointed at the imperial guard standing opposite him and said, "Speak up, what are you doing in my Gu Mansion?!"
The old man was used to giving speeches in the military camp, and when he spoke in a hurry his voice was like thunder, which shocked the imperial guards and made them stand up straighter.
Gu Xingnuo smiled at the imperial guard who was frightened by his grandfather, his eyes changed from sharp to gentle, and said: "Brother, you came to my Gu Mansion, is there something for the emperor?"
The imperial guard took a breath and said, "The emperor has an oral order, but it must be passed on to the prince consort. May I ask, Marshal, Master Gu, where is the prince consort?" He had been standing here waiting for a long time, but the prince consort did not show up. Was the prince consort not home last night?
The old man said, "Looking for Xinglang? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The imperial guard felt that he was really wronged. He said at the gate of Gu Mansion that he wanted to find the prince consort. But who knew that when he entered the mansion, the people in the mansion did not call the third young master of the Gu family. They were all busy setting up the incense table and cattail mats, preparing to receive the emperor's order. He did not say that he was here to convey the emperor's order!
Gu Xingnuo quickly ordered the servant beside him, "Go and urge the Third Young Master."
Emperor Xianzong sent someone to look for Gu Xinglang early in the morning, which made Gu Xingnuo panic. The first thought of Young Master Gu was, is the emperor afraid that the Eternal Life Temple will not let the princess go, so he asked his third brother to take the princess away first? But the world is so big, where can this young couple run to avoid the Eternal Life Temple?
When the servant came to call Gu Xinglang, Young Master Gu was still lying on the bed with his wife in his arms. Seeing his young wife sleeping soundly, Young Master Gu himself also felt drowsy.
"My father is looking for you?" Yu Xiaoxiao was awakened by the servant's loud report. She rubbed her eyes and confirmed with Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang frowned. Didn't he say that his father-in-law would issue an order to redress the injustice of the Gu family? He now held the rank of a third-rank general. It was his grandfather and two elder brothers who were reinstated. What order did he need to follow?
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Xinglang's frown, yawned and said, "If you don't want to answer it, let's go back to sleep."
Gu Xinglang was amused by Yu Xiaoxiao again and said, "Xiaoxiao, that's His Majesty."
Yu Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and snorted, her face expressionless but her voice full of displeasure.
"I'll go get the order," Gu Xinglang gently put his wife down, stood up and said, "You sleep for a while."
Yu Xiaoxiao turned over and sat up, saying, "Let me take a look at your feet first. I used medicine last night, and I want to see how effective it is."
Gu Xinglang said: "Xiaoxiao, I have to go and receive the emperor's edict immediately."
Yu Xiaoxiao didn't waste time talking to Gu Xinglang. She stretched out her hand and pushed Gu Xinglang down on the bed again, saying, "My father has never asked about government affairs. What could he ask you for? Don't worry about useless things. Let me see your injuries."
Gu Xinglang tried to make his wife understand what imperial power was. While trying to sit up, he said to Yu Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, I must go to meet the emperor. Disobeying the emperor's order is a capital crime."
Seeing that Gu Xinglang still wanted to leave, Yu Xiaoxiao sat on Gu Xinglang's belly and said, "You haven't even received the order yet, what are you resisting? Don't bully me because I'm not well educated."
Young Master Gu was unable to move now. No one had ever sat on his stomach since he was a child. He just felt two lumps of tender flesh pressing on his belly, rubbing against it. The thing that his wife nicknamed "Little Gu" was slowly rising again.
Yu Xiaoxiao deftly untied the gauze on Gu Xinglang's ankle wound. Gu Xinglang had never used penicillin before, so there was no such thing as drug resistance to penicillin. Yu Xiaoxiao took a look at Gu Xinglang's wound and felt relieved. The inflammation on the wound had obviously improved, better than Yu Xiaoxiao expected.
"Xiaoxiao?" Gu Xinglang could only lie down now, looking at his wife's buttocks sticking out because she leaned forward to look at the wound on his ankle. What was the wound like? Young Master Gu couldn't think about this question for the time being. He felt his mouth was dry at the moment.
Yu Xiaoxiao was happy to see that the penicillin injection had such a good effect. When the princess was happy, her moral integrity, which was already very low, would go even deeper into the abyss that could never be seen to the bottom. She turned her head and threw herself on Gu Xinglang. Yu Xiaoxiao said to Gu Sanshao, "The wound will heal soon. Let's celebrate. Let's do it!"
