"Princess," the monk from the Temple of Eternal Life could no longer wait and asked Yu Xiaoxiao, "Where did the lightning strike?"
Yu Xiao: "Oh, a few kitchens have collapsed and it's still the alchemy furnace room. Father, do monks also make elixirs?"
Xianzong heard Yu Xiaoxiao asking him questions and said, "Why can't monks practice alchemy?"
The monk Tingyu from the Yongsheng Temple was also struck by lightning in the small furnace room. His face changed drastically and he no longer cared about the father and daughter in front of him. He tapped the ground with his toes and ran quickly to the northwest of the Huguo Temple.
"No one was hurt," Yu Xiaoxiao shouted to the monk.
Xianzong said, "Just leave him alone. Have you finished your work? Are you really done?"
Yu Xiaoxiao waved her hand and said, "I have lost my house, what certificate do I have..."
"That's enough," Xianzong interrupted Yu Xiaoxiao and said, "It's good that everything is fine. We can go back to the palace. Uh, I'm going back to the palace. You and Gu Xinglang can go back to the Gu Mansion. Don't go to the palace unless you have to. Just think about your father in your heart."
Yu Xiao: "Is this the end?"
Xianzong laughed and said, "It is natural that the young master would be frightened and fall ill after being struck by thunder in the sky."
Yu Xiao: "What about the poison?"
"The house collapsed," Xianzong looked at his daughter. Why is she so stupid? Without any evidence, whoever you, Wen Fenglin, say is the murderer is the murderer?
The head of the imperial guards pointed to a broken wall in the west and said to Emperor Xianzong, "Your Majesty, the wall there has collapsed."
Xianzong followed the commander's hand and looked to the west, where a section of the wall was missing.
Yu Xiao: "Maybe he was knocked down by the shock."
Xianzong asked, "The rest of the wall is fine, why did that section collapse?"
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Emperor Xianzong and the palace guards and guessed, "Is it because the quality of this wall is not up to standard?"
As long as the wall of the imperial palace didn't collapse, Xianzong would not think about the quality of the building. Without continuing Yu Xiaoxiao's words, Xianzong said to the head of the imperial guards, "Go back and ask the Ministry of Revenue to allocate some money so that the imperial master can repair the wall. It's not good to hurt people, right?"
"I obey your order," the commander said hurriedly.
"Okay," Xianzong said to Yuxiao, "Let's go pick up Gu Xinglang, and then go back to our respective homes."
"Help--"
“Help—”
Just as the group turned to leave, a woman's cry for help was heard from the west wall of the courtyard.
In the heavy rain, the hoarse cries sounded mournful and helpless.
"Woman?" When Xianzong heard the cry for help, his first reaction was not to save her, but to ask in surprise: "Is the Huguo Temple open today? I clearly remember that it was not open."
Yu Xiao: "There are women in the temple. I just saw one wearing a skirt."
Xianzong looked at his chief of the imperial guards and asked, "What's going on?"
The commander had a stern face. How could he know why there was a woman in the Huguo Temple?
Yu Xiao: "Actually, monks are also men. Father, you should understand."
"Okay, shut up now," Xianzong said, "Don't keep imitating that soldier Gu Xinglang. Who taught you that monks are also men?"
The palace guards all sympathized with Young Master Gu. What did this have to do with the Prince Consort?
"That woman is still calling for help," the commander said, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
"Go and save people," Xianzong said. How could he, a wise and kind emperor, do such a thing as watching someone die without helping him? Besides, why was there a woman in Huguo Temple? Xianzong really wanted to know this. Uh, this was the main reason.
The palace guards received the order to rescue people, but they did not seem to be in a hurry. They escorted Xianzong and Yu Xiaoxiao to the wall courtyard, and then several palace guards came forward to move bricks to rescue people.
Yu Xiaoxiao also wanted to step forward to help. With her strength, it would not be difficult for her to move bricks and save people.
Xianzong pulled Yu Xiaoxiao and asked, "Where are you going?"
Yu Xiao: "I'll go save them."
Xianzong said: "Who are you saving? Identity!"
Xianzong meant, you are a princess, is there any royal princess carrying bricks with a bunch of imperial guards in the rain? But Xianzong just said the word "status", Yu Xiaoxiao didn't understand the meaning of these two words of her tyrant father, and said, "Wait here for a while, I'll be back soon."
Xianzong couldn't hold his daughter back any longer, so he could only yell at his palace guards: "Are you just going to stand here and watch?!"
The palace guards rushed forward together and blocked Yu Xiaoxiao behind them.
"There's..." Yu Xiaoxiao pointed at a pile of broken bricks and wanted to shout that there was someone there. Before she could even say the word "person", several palace guards stepped on it.
A large eunuch stood on the broken bricks, looked at Yu Xiaoxiao and asked, "Princess, what do you want?"
Yu Xiaoxiao heard someone breathing under the pile of broken bricks, but now, looking at the big feet stepping on the broken bricks, Her Royal Highness could only say: "There is someone down there, dead or alive, start digging."
Xianzong hummed in the back: "What good can a woman in a Buddhist temple be? Get a shovel and dig her out."
The palace guards were angry but dared not say anything. Where could they find shovels now?
Seeing that she couldn't get to the front line of disaster relief, Yu Xiaoxiao could only stand next to Xianzong again and said, "Don't bother. I can rescue the people in a few moves."
"You have done all the work, and they are all going home to live on water?" Xianzong taught his daughter: "As a person, you should leave a way for others to live!"
Yu Xiaoxiao stood there thinking, but after a long time she still couldn't figure out any necessary connection between her saving people and serving as a guard for her father, the emperor. Just as she was about to discuss this issue with Emperor Xianzong, she heard a palace guard shout to her and Emperor Xianzong: "Your Majesty, it's an old woman."
When Xianzong heard that it was an old woman, he was immediately disappointed. He had originally wanted to see Chengguan laugh, but now an old woman was dug out. How could he still smile? Even if a monk was a man, he couldn't lay hands on an old woman, right?
"Your Majesty, Princess," Gu Xinglang's voice came from behind the father and daughter.
Yu Xiaoxiao quickly turned around and saw several imperial guards carrying her little Gu towards her.
A palace guard walked to the left of the recliner, holding an umbrella for Gu Xinglang, and another guard held a bigger umbrella to cover the prince consort's feet. But even so, when Emperor Xianzong saw Gu Xinglang running over, he immediately became angry and scolded his son-in-law, "You don't want your feet anymore?! Who asked you to come?"
"Why are you so fierce?" Yu Xiaoxiao was unhappy. She squinted at Xianzong and said, "If you can come, why can't Xiao Gu come?"
Gu Xinglang said: "Your Majesty, Princess, something happened with the Master."
Hmm? The father and daughter's eyes lit up immediately. Was Wen Fenglin finally dead?
"Your Majesty," the head of the imperial guards reported to Emperor Xianzong loudly from under the broken wall, "There are two young women here."
