"How do we try?" Gu Xinglang became more alert when he heard what his elder brother said, and asked hurriedly, "Brother, are you going to find those two monks?"
Gu Xingnuo said: "Just rest and recover, I will take care of this matter."
"I……"
"Stop talking," Gu Xingnuo said with a gloomy face, "I know what's going on. Let's go to the pavilion and don't keep the princess waiting for too long."
Gu Xinglang said anxiously: "Brother, you have to tell me what you are going to do, right?"
"You little brat," Gu Xingnuo stood up, bent his fingers and tapped his third brother's forehead, saying, "Can this kind of thing be done with just a breath? You have to give me some time, right?"
Gu Xinglang rubbed his forehead which was hurt by the hit, and suddenly said to the eldest Master Gu: "Anyway, I can't let the Eternal Life Temple harm the princess. I don't care who Fenglin is. If he wants to harm the princess, then I will fight him..." The third Master Gu didn't often say harsh words, so he didn't say anything more after that.
Gu Xingnuo said calmly: "What about you?"
Gu Xinglang's face twisted and he said fiercely: "I want his life!"
Gu Xingnuo patted his brother's shoulder and said simply, "I understand."
Gu Xinglang said: "Brother!"
Gu Xingnuo whispered, "Don't worry, the princess is also my savior. I will also kill Fenglin, but I am here and will not let the princess get hurt." Seeing that Gu Xinglang's collar was crooked, Gu Xingnuo squatted down, straightened the collar of his third brother's clothes, and asked Gu Xinglang, "It's raining heavily now, are you cold?"
Gu Xinglang did not hear his elder brother's last question, but the Third Young Master Gu was relieved now. He could not even walk now, and he could not do anything except follow Emperor Xianzong to lie to deceive people. At least he still had a elder brother to rely on, which made Gu Xinglang feel better.
Gu Xingnuo saw that Gu Xinglang didn't respond after he asked a question, and he knew that his brother's mind was elsewhere again. He could only sigh, and reached out to touch Gu Xinglang's exposed hand. He felt that the hand was still warm, so he felt relieved.
"Brother, Xiao Gu," Yu Xiaoxiao finally waited for the food to be served in the octagonal pavilion, and shouted to Gu Xingnuo and Gu Xinglang who were still in the corridor, "There's food, come quickly. Xiao Zhuang, Xiao Wei, come and eat too."
"Let's go over there," Gu Xingnuo turned around and said to Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei, "Are you hungry too?"
Xiao Wei hurriedly said, "Master, I am not hungry."
Gu Xingnuo smiled when he heard Xiao Wei's self-proclaimed title and said, "You are too cautious, kid. The princess and her husband don't allow you to call yourself a slave, so what are you talking about?"
Xiao Wei smiled and lowered his head.
"Let's go," Gu Xingnuo opened the umbrella and walked out to the corridor first.
When Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei walked over to lift Gu Xinglang, they whispered, "Do you feel that the eldest master treats the prince consort like a son?"
Xiao Wei raised his eyebrows. The prince consort lost his father when he was still an infant. As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. Isn't the eldest son Gu both a father and a brother to the third son Gu?
When Gu Xinglang entered the octagonal pavilion, Zuo You was explaining to Yu Xiaoxiao how to eat crabs. Not only did he explain, but he also demonstrated, and he was just short of peeling the crab meat and putting it in Yu Xiaoxiao's bowl. When Gu Sanshao saw this scene, his handsome face suddenly darkened. He had been enduring Zuo You for a long time.
Jing Mo looked at Gu Xingnuo and said with a smile: "When the chrysanthemums bloom, the crabs will come. Today I invite you to enjoy the chrysanthemums and taste the crabs. What do you think, Mr. Gu?"
Before Gu Xingnuo could say anything, Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the crab claw in her hand and said, "This thing won't fill my stomach. Let's have some rice." For Yu Xiaoxiao, crabs were legendary creatures. Now that she had seen a real crab, Her Royal Highness the Princess didn't care how it tasted, but she just felt that could this thing fill her stomach?
Jing Mo was in no mood again. He should have invited this guy to the Da Wan Restaurant, which was a place suitable for the princess of Fengtian. "Go to the kitchen and ask them to serve the food quickly," Jing Mo had to follow the servants who were waiting behind him and said, "Ask them to serve the food quickly."
The servant hurriedly replied "yes" and left the pavilion.
Gu Xingnuo looked at the round table and said with a smile, "It seems like there aren't enough seats here."
There are five wooden chairs placed around the round table, which is just enough for the Gu brothers to sit on. But if Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei are added, there will still be two chairs missing.
Zuo You looked at Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei. Is it reasonable for a guard to eat at the same table with his master?
Jing Mo smiled and stood up, saying, "There is a shortage of chairs. Let the servants bring them up. Master Gu, there is a good place to enjoy chrysanthemums in this yard. I will take you to see it."
Gu Xingnuo bowed to Jing Mo and said, "I couldn't ask for more. Thank you, Your Highness."
"Zuo You," Jing Mo looked at Zuo You who was still fighting with the crab and said, "Come with us to take a look."
Zuo You didn't even raise his head and said, "I won't go. I don't like to appreciate chrysanthemums."
Jing Mo bent down, put his hand on Zuo You's shoulder, and whispered, "Are you really here just to eat?"
Zuo You: “What do you mean?”
"Temple of Eternal Life," Jing Mo said these three words to Zuo You.
Zuo You threw the crab claw in his hand on the table. He looked at Gu Xinglang who was teaching Yu Xiaoxiao how to peel the crab shell. Marshal Zuo snorted heavily, stood up, and said unhappily, "Let's go, where is the chrysanthemum you mentioned?"
Yu Xiaoxiao looked up at Zuo You warily. Hearing him mention chrysanthemums always made Her Royal Highness the Princess worry about her little Gu's chrysanthemums.
"Princess, we'll be away for a moment," Jing Mo greeted Yu Xiaoxiao with a perfect smile.
"It's okay, you guys go ahead," Yu Xiaoxiao had no objection as long as they didn't take the crabs and side dishes on the table away.
"I'll go for a moment," Gu Xingnuo also bent down and whispered to Gu Xinglang, "You and the princess have a good meal here."
Gu Xinglang nodded.
Gu Xingnuo said to Yu Xiao again: "Princess, I have to leave you for a moment."
"Yeah," Yu Xiaoxiao looked up at Gu Xingnuo, with a lot of crab roe on the corners of his mouth. Seeing this image, Young Master Gu wanted to sigh again.
Jing Mo was the first to walk out of the octagonal pavilion. He waved his hand to let the people who were about to follow him to serve him step back. He held an umbrella for himself and walked along the nine-curve wooden bridge connecting the pool bank and the octagonal pavilion with Zuo You and Gu Xingnuo, who also held umbrellas for him. They walked to the shore, went around the corner of the corridor, and went straight to another courtyard.
Yu Xiaoxiao was eating the crab meat that Gu Xinglang peeled for her in the octagonal pavilion, and said to Gu Xinglang, "If I had known we were going to eat this, we might as well go to the Big Bowl Restaurant."
Gu Xinglang said: "Princess, don't you like eating crabs?"
"Uh," Yu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment and said, "It tastes good, but it doesn't fill me up."
Gu Xinglang was very conflicted. Looking at the emperor's appearance, he even dared to offend the Temple of Eternal Life for the princess. He didn't seem like the kind of person who would let the princess starve. His wife was worried about not having enough to eat every day. Where did this sense of crisis come from?
