Seeing Gu Xingnuo, not to mention Jing Mo, even Zuo You, whose mind had always been on Yu Xiaoxiao, calmed down. Gu Xingnuo, the eldest son of the Gu family, was the one who helped Gu Chen make decisions in the Gu family. As the future head of the Gu family, he was naturally different from Gu Xinglang in terms of character and scheming.
Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei also obviously reduced their presence in front of Gu Xingnuo.
Only Yu Xiaoxiao didn't feel anything and said to Gu Xingnuo: "Brother, come and have dinner too."
Jing Mo suddenly felt that if the chef didn't try his best for the table he had invited today, he would be very sorry to Princess Linglong. This was the only thing that had been on her mind from the beginning to the end.
Gu Xingnuo smiled and said to Yu Xiao: "Princess, are you hungry?"
"Oh," Yu Xiaoxiao said sadly, "I haven't had breakfast yet, and Xiao Gu hasn't had it either." After saying this, Her Royal Highness the Princess glanced at Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei. Sometimes, friends cannot be relied upon. While these two were full, they didn't think at all that she was still hungry!
Gu Xingnuo's eyes twitched. After such a thing happened, he hadn't eaten anything until now. A normal person wouldn't have an appetite to eat at this time, right? Ah, wait, Master Gu looked at his princess sister-in-law and thought, didn't I just say that the princess is not a normal person?
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Jing Mo: "When are we going to have dinner?" Instead of waiting like this, she might as well go out to eat with her Xiao Gu. "You don't have any paintings of women that you want us to see, do you?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked Jing Mo.
Jing Mo admitted that it was a mistake to bring this group of people to see some calligraphy and painting, and said to Yu Xiao: "Princess, please follow me."
A group of people walked to the backyard and walked on the corridor. A few people could smell the faint fragrance of chrysanthemums floating in the air through the walls. After entering the backyard of this calligraphy and painting academy, the autumn chrysanthemums in the garden were either in full bloom or in bud in the rain, and the colors of the flowers looked gorgeous and beautiful under the washing of rain.
Gu Xingnuo was walking beside Jing Mo at this time. Looking at the scenery in front of him, he sighed to Jing Mo: "The autumn rain is bleak, but the autumn chrysanthemums are in full bloom and full of vitality. This is the artistic conception of appreciating autumn chrysanthemums in the autumn rain, right?"
Jing Mo felt like tears welling up in his eyes. Of the three people he had invited before, one was only thinking about food, one was only thinking about his own wife, and one was only thinking about how to seduce other people's wives. He finally met a soulmate.
Yu Xiaoxiao whispered to Gu Xinglang, Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei from behind: "Brother looks very powerful."
The three young men looked at Yu Xiaoxiao together. They just heard what Young Master Gu said. Could there be anything so powerful that could make them so powerful?
Yu Xiaoxiao praised Brother Gu again: "Brother, you sound very cultured."
Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei looked after Xinglang together again. Although the two brothers couldn't explain the specific reason, they felt that their prince consort was truly tragic.
Gu Xinglang was also feeling upset. Young Master Gu thought he could say things like "the autumn rain is bleak". What kind of culture was there in that?
Zuo You turned around and said to Yu Xiao: "Princess, what do you want to eat today?"
Yu Xiao: "Whatever. I'm not picky about food. I just don't care where to eat." In the eyes of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the small bridge, flowing water, autumn rain and autumn chrysanthemums in this courtyard are still not as lovely as a steamed bun that can fill her stomach.
"Actually, we should still go to Dawan Restaurant," Jing Mo muttered after hearing Yu Xiaoxiao's question.
When Gu Xingnuo heard this, he pretended not to hear it.
After sitting in the octagonal pavilion built in the middle of the pond, Yu Xiaoxiao waited attentively for the dishes to be served and prepared to start eating.
Gu Xingnuo, Gu Xinglang, Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei temporarily stayed in the corridor next to the pond.
Jing Mo and Zuo You knew that the two brothers must have something to discuss, so they did not disturb them.
"Go ahead," Gu Xingnuo pulled up the cloak covering Gu Xinglang and whispered, "Why are you in such a hurry to ask the servants to call me over? Has something changed in the Huguo Temple?" As he spoke, Young Master Gu glanced at Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei.
While Xiaozhuang was still in a daze, Xiaowei had already understood what Mr. Gu meant and pulled Xiaozhuang aside.
Gu Xinglang told his eldest brother about the matter of Chen Qi and Chen Mie.
Gu Xingnuo stood there at first, then sat on the railing of the veranda next to Gu Xinglang as he listened.
Gu Xinglang said: "Brother, are they not on solid ground with Master Fenglin?"
Gu Xingnuo smiled and said, "You are afraid that after the young master returns, the Eternal Life Temple will still harm the princess, so you just want to find a way to make this Fenglin young master never return to the Eternal Life Temple?"
Gu Xinglang choked. Every time he talked to his elder brother, he felt like he had nowhere to hide. "I know," Gu Xinglang lowered his head and whispered to Gu Da Shao, "I want to sow discord. This is dirty and despicable. It's not what a gentleman would do, and it's not something my Gu family would do. But I," Gu Xinglang gritted his teeth, looked up at Gu Xingnuo and said, "If Master Fenglin returns to the Eternal Life Temple, he will definitely not let Xiao Xiao go."
"Xiao Xiao?" Gu Xingnuo's smile deepened and he said, "You call Princess Xiao Xiao?"
Gu Xinglang called out Xiaoxiao's name in a hurry, and he felt regretful. He said to Gu Dashao anxiously, "Brother, now is not the time to talk about this."
Gu Xingnuo turned his head to look at Yu Xiaoxiao who was talking to Zuo You in the octagonal pavilion, and said to Gu Xinglang: "Xinglang, for the sake of your family, as long as you don't harm the greater good, I don't see how you can be so dirty and despicable. Fenglin wanted to kill the national teacher first. If he didn't have this murderous intention, how could the princess accidentally let him be poisoned? Do you know what he is called?"
Gu Xinglang shook his head. He was already upset just thinking about his wife. He wished he could take his little wife to the ends of the earth where there was no Temple of Eternal Life. How could he have the energy to think about anything else?
Gu Xingnuo said: "He is hurting others but ends up hurting himself."
Gu Xinglang said: "I understand this word, brother, what about this matter?"
"Chen Qi, Chen Mie. I saw them when I was in the Eternal Life Temple," Gu Xingnuo whispered, "They once protected Zhuri's Imperial Master Wu Huan. After Wu Huan went to Zhuri, they returned to Mo Wen's side."
Gu Xinglang said: "So?"
"Fenglin was in trouble, and the two of them didn't protect him in time," Gu Xingnuo said, "There are two possibilities. One is that they believed that Beiyuan and others could protect Fenglin, so they didn't take action. The other is, as you guessed, they didn't have any intention of protecting Fenglin."
Gu Xinglang was confused by his elder brother. Which possibility was it?
"Fenglin looks gentle but he is actually aloof and arrogant. He may not be able to get along well with Chenqi Chenmie," Gu Xingnuo's eyes flashed with a calculating gleam, and he whispered, "We can give this a try."
