40 The Duke and the Marquis



In the library of the imperial palace, the imperial teacher paid his respects to Emperor Xianzong.

Xianzong allowed the Imperial Preceptor to sit down, and after seeing him sitting down, he asked, "Did you see the princess?"

The Imperial Master said: "I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess and her husband, and I have also met the eldest prince who killed the Sun."

Xianzong smiled bitterly and said, "The princess will hate me, right?"

The Imperial Master really didn't see any emotion on Yu Xiaoxiao's face. He bowed to Emperor Xianzong and said, "Your Majesty and the Princess are father and daughter. Why are you angry? Your Majesty, I don't think the Princess is any different from ordinary people."

Xianzong asked, "What about the queen?"

"I have not practiced enough, so I cannot give Your Majesty an answer regarding the matter of the thunderbolt," the Imperial Master said calmly, saying he did not know.

Xianzong patted the armrest of the couch and rubbed his forehead with a headache. Who said that being an emperor can live as he pleases? If he finds this person, he will definitely kill all nine generations of this person!

Yu Xiaoxiao was held in Gu Xinglang's arms. After sitting in the car for half an hour as the car swayed back and forth, Yu Xiaoxiao heard someone outside the car say, "Your Highness, the Princess, the Third Young Master, we're home."

Yu Xiaoxiao got out of the car and was watching Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei carrying Gu Xinglang out of the car when she heard crying behind her. Turning around, she saw Nanny Wang and Nanny Wei both running towards her with red and swollen eyes.

Gu Xinglang got out of the car, looked at the two crying maids, and without waiting for Yu Xiao to speak, he said in a deep voice: "Let's go back to the mansion and talk."

The Gu Mansion has been in chaos since the Emperor Xianzong's edict came. Everyone on Yu Xiaoxiao's side was crying, and the old lady and several other female relatives of the Gu family were also anxious, but they could not help. Gu Chen, Gu Xingnuo, and Gu Xingyan were all commoners now, and they were not qualified to enter the palace to see Emperor Xianzong. To speak for Yu Ziyi, they could only ask Yingnianyun and several of Gu Chen's friends in the court to come to the Gu Mansion to discuss what to do about this matter.

As soon as Yu Xiaoxiao entered the gate of Gu Mansion, Nanny Wang asked, "Your Highness, the emperor's decree has been issued. What should we do?"

Yu Xiaoxin was confused. How could she know what to do? She wanted a professional zombie killer to play palace fighting and political fighting? Wouldn't this be difficult for her? The humans here were not as worry-free as the zombies. At least the zombies never dared to play tricks on humans.

The housekeeper had already arrived at the door by this time, and he bent down and whispered a few words to Gu Xinglang.

After listening to the housekeeper's words, Gu Xinglang said to Yu Xiao: "Master Ying and the others are in my grandfather's study. Let's go over there."

Yu Xiaoxiao nodded.

When the adults sitting in Gu Chen's study saw Yu Xiaoxiao enter the room, they all stood up and saluted Yu Xiaoxiao.

Yu Xiaoxiao waved her hand and said, "You are all elders, you don't have to bow to me."

Ying Nianyun asked Yu Xiaoxiao: "What does the princess plan to do about the Seventh Prince?"

Yu Xiaoxiao was silent. Why did everyone ask her this question? Could she say she didn't know?

Gu Xinglang said at this time: "We met the Imperial Master in the palace."

Gu Xingnuo asked hurriedly: "What did the Imperial Master say?"

Gu Xinglang said: "The Imperial Master said that it might not be a bad thing for the Seventh Prince to go and kill the Sun."

An adult sighed and said, "This monk Chengguan is quite knowledgeable."

Everyone was silent. Yu Ziyi went to Zhuri as a hostage and lost the throne, but he made those who wanted to harm him beyond reach. This was not necessarily a bad thing. However, as a legitimate prince, he had no chance of becoming the emperor. What a pity it was for the Seventh Prince.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Yu Xiaoxiao asked, "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

Qiu Zheng said: "Your Highness, it is actually best for the Seventh Prince to decide this matter himself."

"But he still can't speak human language now," Yu Xiaoxiao said worriedly.

Guys...

The Seventh Prince cannot speak yet, but why do the words of His Royal Highness the Princess sound so awkward?

"The Seventh Prince has gone to Zhuri," Gu Xingnuo said anxiously, "His life is in the hands of the Zhuri people. Even if he avoids the evil hands of Fengtian, can the Zhuri people really raise the Seventh Prince well?"

Yu Xiaoxiao overheard several adults discussing Yu Ziyi's matter, and was stunned by what she heard at the end. According to what they said, Yu Ziyi would be killed by Concubine Zhao's gang in Fengtian, and would be killed by the Zhuri people if he went to Zhuri. So Yu Ziyi would die anyway?

When the adults were discussing, the butler's voice suddenly came from outside the study, saying, "Marshal, the eldest prince Zhuri has sent an invitation to Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Third Young Master."

Everyone in the study, except Yu Xiaoxiao, was shocked.

"Come in," Gu Chen said hurriedly.

The housekeeper came into the room holding an invitation with a pink cover and handed it respectfully to Yu Xiaoxiao.

Yu Xiaoxiao took the invitation and opened it. The words inside might be familiar to her, but she probably didn't. Yu Xiaoxiao shook her head. She really couldn't afford to be illiterate.

"What did Jing Mo say?" Gu Xinglang saw Yu Xiaoxiao shaking her head and asked in a low voice.

Yu Xiaoxiao handed the invitation to Gu Xinglang and said with a straight face, "Take a look."

Gu Xinglang looked at the invitation. Jing Mo didn't write anything special in the invitation. He just said some polite words that everyone would say, and then invited him and Yu Xiaoxiao to meet at Deyi Winery.

Yu Xiaoxiao held her head and thought, I was invited to dinner just when we met today, what does this mean?

The four men of the Gu family all had gloomy expressions.

Gu Xinglang asked Yu Xiaoxiao: "Princess, are you going to Jing Mo's banquet?"

Yu Xiao: "Should I go?"

Gu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Go ahead and listen to what Jing Mo has to say."

"It seems that the Zhuri Kingdom has other plans for this matter," Yingnianyun muttered softly.

Yu Xiaoxiao heard what Ying Nianyun said, but she just couldn't figure it out. After returning to the room, she asked Gu Xinglang: "Did Jing Mo come to me because of Xiao Qi's matter?"

Gu Xinglang glanced at the servants waiting in the room, and after they left, he whispered to Yu Xiao: "Princess, have you forgotten? Our Gu family has a surrendered general serving as an official on the day of the execution."

Yu Xiaoxiao's heart trembled, and she asked, "Who is it?"

"Grandfather's brother, Gu Li," Gu Xinglang said in surprise, "Princess, don't you know about this?"

Yu Xiaoxiao said, "What do I know? I only saw the life of that empress who died a miserable death. As for your family, I only saw the bones!" "Women should not be involved in politics," Yu Xiaoxiao said after a long while, saying what Nanny Wang had taught her.

Gu Xinglang laughed at himself and said, "This is a shame for the country and the family. I'm sure no one in the imperial palace would be willing to mention it."

"Then tell me, what's wrong with this Gu Li? By the way, what should you call him? Uncle?" Yu Xiaoxiao's thoughts wandered again, and she asked Gu Xinglang.

Gu Xinglang immediately shook his head and said, "Grandfather has severed his ties with him. We are no longer brothers."

Blood relationship, can it be severed by cutting a robe? Yu Xiaoxiao said she didn't understand.

"Gu Li was executed and was given the title of Duke of Zhenguo," Gu Xinglang said, "I heard that he is living a good life."

Yu Xiaoxiao asked: "Who has a higher rank, the Duke of Zhenguo or the Marquis of Zhenguo?"
