Xianzong stood at the door of the Imperial Library, watching Imperial Master Chengguan and Gu Xinglang and their group walk away. No one was around anymore, and Xianzong suddenly became nervous again. The person he wanted to kill this time was Mo Wen. Could he really kill Mo Wen?
Imperial Master Chengguan walked behind Gu Xinglang and asked him to take the valuable gift to see Mo Wen. This was a huge gamble for Imperial Master Chengguan, betting that even though Mo Wen was seriously injured, he would still be interested in seeing Gu Xinglang. <>
Xianzong walked into the hall where Yu Xiaoxiao and Xiao Wei were staying alone, looked at the dishes on the table, and asked his daughter, "Is it delicious?"
Yu Xiaoxiao, with a mouthful of beef balls in her mouth, nodded at Xianzong.
Xiao Wei wants to pay his respects to Emperor Xianzong.
"No need to be so polite," Xianzong waved his hand towards Xiao Wei.
Yu Xiaoxiao looked behind Xianzong and said, "Where's Xiao Gu?"
Xianzong sat opposite Yu Xiaoxiao, picked up a piece of pigeon meat with chopsticks, and said, "The Imperial Master has something to do with him, you eat your food, you can't live without seeing your little Gu for a while, right?"
"What does the Imperial Master want to see Xiao Gu about?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked.
"If you don't want to eat, you can go and listen to the National Master talk about Buddhism," Xianzong laughed and looked at Yu Xiao: "Eat quickly. After you finish this meal, your father will take you out of the palace for a walk." Although National Master Chengguan said that the princess didn't need to take action in this matter, Xianzong still felt that he had to take his daughter to see this matter. If he didn't want to push the blame of Mo Wen's death on Fenglin, Xianzong would let Yu Xiaoxiao go with Gu Xinglang.
Yu Xiaoxiao buried her head and continued eating. If there was anything, they would talk about it after she finished her meal.
After Imperial Master Chengguan and Gu Xinglang left the palace, the Imperial Master did not take his own sedan chair, but got into Gu Xinglang's carriage.
"Let's go!" A guard commander shouted the order beside the carriage.
Gu Xinglang watched Master Chengguan turning the Buddhist beads in his hand for a long time. Young Gu had only come into contact with this master after he got married. Before that, Young Gu had never even spoken to Master Chengguan. Suddenly, he sat in a carriage with Master Chengguan. Gu Xinglang felt uncomfortable all over and didn't know what to say to Master Chengguan.
The carriage jolted slightly as it drove out of the street where the imperial palace was located. Imperial Master Chengguan stopped spinning his Buddhist beads and whispered to Gu Xinglang, "Prince consort, don't ask if this man has the ability to control people."
Gu Xinglang had heard that emperors have techniques to control their ministers, powerful ministers have techniques to control their subordinates, and officials have techniques to control people, but this technique of controlling people was the first time he heard of it. "What?" Young Master Gu asked Imperial Master Chengguan.
"People's hearts can be bewitched," National Master Chengguan pointed at Gu Xinglang's heart.
Gu Xinglang subconsciously lowered his head to look at his chest, and found it incredible. He said to Master Chengguan, "Master, are you saying that Mo Wen can control my heart?"
"How much has your elder brother told you about the Eternal Life Temple?" asked Master Chengguan.
Gu Xinglang shook his head and said, "My eldest brother never mentions anything about the Eternal Life Temple."
Imperial Master Chengguan reached out and touched the top of Gu Xinglang's head.
Gu Xinglang asked in confusion: "National Master, what do you mean?"
“When we start, I will use the golden needle to seal your five senses,” Master Chengguan pointed his fingers at Gu Xinglang’s eyes, nose, mouth, and ears one by one, and whispered, “If I fail this time, my brother Wangyue will know how to use the golden needle. You can go find him, Prince Consort.”
Gu Xinglang was not nervous at first, but now he was nervous because of what Master Chengguan said. Golden needles sealed the acupoints, but failed at the last moment? "Master," Gu Shao waved his hand and opened Master Chengguan's half-raised hand, saying, "You want to seal the five senses of all of us? Not to mention when to fight, Master, do you have the time? Even if you have a way to seal the five senses, how can we fight Mo Wen?" A bunch of blind, deaf, and dumb people want to kill Mo Wen?
Master Chengguan said, "I am just betting that Mo Wen will choose you."
"What?" Gu Xinglang said, "What do you mean Mo Wen would choose me?"
Imperial Master Chengguan sighed and said, "Don't ask, Prince Consort."
If Gu Xinglang could jump up and down, he would have jumped up and down now. What did he mean by not asking? They were about to fight Mo Wen to the death. Master Chengguan was saying a bunch of things that he couldn't understand. Could they really kill Mo Wen this time? Gu Xinglang said to Master Chengguan, "Master, I can't move now. What's the point of you sealing my five senses? Mo Wen wants to control people, but he controls me, a person who can't do anything?"
"You underestimate yourself," National Master Chengguan looked at Gu Xinglang and smiled.
Gu Xinglang said anxiously: "Master, I really can't walk now, how could I underestimate myself?"
"Just remember my words, my dear son-in-law. The emperor has asked you to listen to me, so you should do as he orders," said Imperial Master Chengguan. He then closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and recited scriptures silently.
Gu Xinglang clasped his hands together. No matter what he said, National Master Chengguan ignored him. Now Gu was helpless. He couldn't order his men to turn back. He could only stare at National Master Chengguan in a daze.
Gu Xingnuo came out of a grain shop and saw his younger brother's carriage passing by. Gu Xingnuo looked at the people following the carriage. They were all strangers and none of them were from their Gu family.
The grain shop owner stood beside Gu Xingnuo and said earnestly, "Don't worry, young master. I will deliver the goods to your house in a moment. There will be no shortage of weight."
Gu Xingnuo nodded to the boss, called one of his guards over, pointed at the carriage going farther and farther away, and said to the guard: "Go over and take a look."
The guard looked at the carriage and said, "Master, that looks like your carriage."
"It's his car," Gu Xingnuo whispered, "I don't recognize any of the people following him. Follow him and see where he's going and who's with him. Once you see clearly, come back and report to me."
The guard received the order and mounted his horse to leave.
Gu Xingnuo thought about it and ordered the guard again: "Don't disturb him, just go and take a look."
"Yes," the guard clasped his fists towards Gu Xingnuo and accepted the order, then rode his horse to chase after Gu Xinglang's carriage.
Yu Xiaoxiao was in the imperial palace at this time. She stuffed the last piece of beef on the plate into her mouth and said to Xianzong, "This beef is delicious."
Xianzong and his daughter had this meal, but they basically didn't eat anything. They threw down their chopsticks and said, "No matter how delicious it is, Linglong, don't you feel full at Gu's house?"
Yu Xiaoxiao dipped the beef stew into the steamed buns and ate them, saying, "I'm full."
Xianzong looked at Xiao Wei and asked, "How long has your princess been hungry?" Xianzong estimated that even if he killed another pig, his daughter would be able to eat it.
Xiao Wei shook his head at Emperor Xianzong and said, "Your Majesty, the princess is not hungry." Before entering the palace, his princess had a meal with her husband at the Dawan Restaurant.
"Stop eating," Xianzong shouted to Yu Xiaoxiao, "I'm about to vomit just by watching you eat!"
