Xiao Wei turned around quickly. Although his princess kissed him calmly, he could clearly see the blushing face of his prince consort.
"Go to sleep if you're tired," Yu Xiaoxiao said to Gu Xinglang in a very soft voice, "I'm here, don't be afraid of anything."
Gu Xinglang yawned and said, "How can I sleep in the imperial palace?"
Yu Xiaoxiao leaned over and kissed Gu Xinglang on the eye, saying, "It won't hurt this way, go to sleep, this is my father's house, why can't you sleep?"
Gu Xinglang closed his eyes, and after a moment, he fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Wei heard no more noise behind him, then turned around and said, "Princess, His Highness the Seventh Prince has fallen asleep too."
Yu Xiaoxiao then glanced at Yu Ziyi. Yu Ziyi's little face was as red as an apple, which made Gu Xinglang's expression look even uglier.
Xiao Wei said, "Should we escort His Majesty the Seventh Prince out of the palace first?"
"It's okay," Yu Xiaoxiao lifted the quilt covering Yu Ziyi and stuffed Yu Ziyi into Gu Xinglang's quilt.
Xiao Wei looked at the two people, one big and one small, sleeping in the same quilt, breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on a round stool beside them.
Yu Xiaoxiao looked around the room and said, "Isn't it said that the upper study is where the prince studies? Why don't I see any books?"
Xiao Wei said, "Princess, this is the teacher's rest room, not a study room."
"Oh," Yu Xiaoxiao felt that this world treated teachers very well. They even had a place to sleep after coming to class.
Xiao Wei said, "Princess, do you want to read a book?"
"Uh," Yu Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Xiao Wei said. What kind of book could she, an illiterate person, read? "The books here don't even have punctuation marks," Yu Xiaoxiao complained to Xiao Wei in order to hide the fact that she was illiterate, "How can I read this?"
Xiao Wei stared at his princess in a daze. What was punctuation? Didn't the princess even read different books from them?
"Your Highness," a eunuch's voice came from outside the door.
Xiao Wei stood up and walked to the door, opened it, and said, "What's the matter?"
The eunuch wanted to look into the room, but the door was blocked by the guard. The eunuch only saw a corner of the screen facing the door, and nothing else.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Wei asked the eunuch again.
The eunuch lowered his head and said, "The emperor asked me to ask the princess how her husband is doing."
"Xiao Gu is fine," Yu Xiaoxiao said as she sat in the room, "Let my dad not worry."
"You can leave now," Xiao Wei said, and slammed the door shut again.
The eunuch stood in front of the door in fear. The emperor asked a question, and the princess answered from inside the room. Then a guard closed the door? Is the emperor still the emperor?!
Xianzong was sitting in his imperial study at this time. Officials from the three provinces and six ministries had all arrived, even Old Man Gu, who was worried about Gu Xinglang and Yu Xiaoxiao.
"The princess and her husband are fine," Xianzong was still able to speak in a good tone to the old man, saying, "Gu Qing, don't worry."
The old man said, "What about the Seventh Prince?"
Xianzong coughed dryly. His daughter's presence was too strong, which made him always forget about his sons. "It's okay, the princes are all fine," Xianzong said to the old man.
"Your Majesty, where is the assassin?" a minister asked.
When Emperor Xianzong heard this question, he was furious. "You ask me?" He slammed the imperial desk and asked his ministers, "Who should I ask? Assassins can enter the imperial palace! Is this still a country? Am I still the emperor?!"
The ministers were so angry at Xianzong's betrayal that they knelt down and apologized.
"Investigate," Xianzong said fiercely, "Until we find this assassin, the four gates of the capital will not be opened!"
The gates of the capital are not open? The ministers looked at each other. Let's not talk about how many people's work will be delayed. Just think about those who work in the city during the day and go out of the city to go home in the evening. Once the gates are closed, how many people's livelihoods will be cut off? Everyone knows the consequences, but His Majesty is now in a rage. Whether it is a treacherous minister or a loyal minister, no one will stand up and touch the emperor's reverse scale at this time.
"Your Majesty," the Minister of War stepped out and said, "There is no war at the border, and there are no bandit threats in the capital. Who could have sneaked into the palace to cause chaos?"
Xianzong thought, that's right, who would want to go against him? There is no war now, and he has not issued an order to suppress bandits, who would want his life? Wait, Xianzong thought of Master Fenglin at this time, he had offended such a person recently. Xianzong patted the imperial desk, the Master of Yongsheng Temple, don't say it, this pretty boy has the guts to kill him.
Old Master Gu took a look at Emperor Xianzong's expression and said, "Your Majesty, do you have any suspicions about someone?"
Xianzong felt very aggrieved. He could not openly fight the Eternal Life Temple, otherwise he would have to prepare for war with the armies of the five countries. "I don't know," Xianzong could only say to his ministers: "Let the three courts cooperate with the Dali Temple to investigate in detail."
"I obey your order," several ministers knelt down together to receive the order.
Xianzong took a look at Zhao Qiu Ming, who had been standing like a wooden man without saying a word since entering the imperial study, and said to Old Man Gu, "Mr. Gu, you and your grandson should return to Wangxiang Pass as soon as possible." The Yongsheng Temple is just outside Wangxiang Pass, quite close to the city wall of Fengtian. Xianzong felt that he had to prepare for the worst. What if he had to fight with Wen Fenglin, that idiot, and Wangxiang Pass was guarded by the Gu family, so he would have some confidence, right?
The old man knelt down to receive the order and said, "I obey your order."
Xianzong said: "I will give you another 100,000 troops. Gu Qing, you must guard the hometown for me."
The old man was stunned. All of a sudden he had another 100,000 soldiers at his disposal?
Xianzong said: "I am worried about my hometown and my family now. We should be prepared for danger in times of peace. What do you think, Mr. Gu?"
The old man didn't know what Xianzong was crazy about. As the king of a country, shouldn't he be prepared for danger in times of peace? However, there was no reason for the old man to refuse the extra 100,000 troops for no reason. The old man accepted the order and said, "I obey your order. I will live up to your high expectations."
Zhao Qiuming listened to the conversation between Xianzong and the old man. He said that he should be prepared for danger in times of peace and add another 100,000 troops to Gu Chen? Since Yu Linglong married into the Gu family, the Gu family has been getting better and better, and his Zhao family, thinking about Princess Zhao, himself, and Zhao Beicheng in the sky prison, Zhao Qiuming gritted his teeth. Now he had no choice but to endure, avoid the limelight of Princess Linglong, and plan for the future.
The ministers were whispering, and Emperor Xianzong was sitting behind the imperial desk, thinking about his own thoughts. It seems that the idea of simply trapping Wen Fenglin in the capital is wrong. This person sent people to set fire to and kill his two maids today, and set fire to and kill his two palace maids tomorrow. One day, he will come to kill him, the emperor. Is there any way to kill Wen Fenglin without offending the Eternal Life Temple? Emperor Xianzong racked his brains to think, how can I kill Wen Fenglin? !
