Hearing Jing Mo say that he was loyal blindly, Gu Xinglang's expression did not change much. He said coldly: "Gu Li has been rebelling against Zhuri for seventeen years. He has never led troops to fight. You just treat him like a dog."
"Dog?" Jing Mo said with a smile, "Gu Li was a duke in my time, ranked among the imperial court, and had a family that lived a life of luxury. In your eyes, such a life is just me raising a dog?"
Gu Xinglang said: "If you treat surrendered generals well, you will get more surrendered generals. However, not everyone in this world is like Gu Li, who betrayed his master and forgot his clan."
"Prince Consort Gu," Jing Mo said, "Seventh Prince, when I execute you, Princess Linglong can accompany you."
Gu Xinglang frowned and asked Jing Mo: "What do you mean?"
"Empress Jiang is dead," Jing Mo said, "You are in a situation where the Zhao family is the only one in power in Fengtian. Your family has lost its military power. How are you going to protect Princess Linglong and her brother? Come back with me to the day of execution. I will guarantee you wealth and glory, and I will also guarantee that you will be able to lead the army."
Gu Xinglang laughed out of anger and said, "The eldest prince wants me to take the princess with me in treason? She is the eldest princess of our dynasty. The eldest prince thinks that the princess would betray the country and her father?"
"People without support, what can't they do to survive?" Jing Mo said, "There's no need for the princess to rebel, her father has already abandoned her and her siblings. General Gu, in my eyes, you brothers of the Gu family are far better than a pair of royal siblings who have lost their power."
Gu Xinglang finally understood now that the hostage was just an excuse and what Zhuri wanted was the submission of their Gu family.
"It's a pity that you are injured now, Prince Consort Gu," Jing Mo raised his glass to Gu Xinglang and said with a smile, "Otherwise, I really want to have a drink with the famous Third Young General."
There was also a wine glass in front of Gu Xinglang, but there was no wine in it. Gu Xinglang looked at the empty wine glass, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind. If they were going to persuade the Gu family to surrender, why did they call Yu Xiaoxiao? The princess was in a worrying situation, but which dynasty had ever produced a princess who followed her husband to commit treason? "What on earth do you want to do by letting the princess come here?" Gu Xinglang raised his head and asked Jing Mo in a stern voice.
Jing Mo took a sip of the wine in the glass, looked at Gu Xinglang and smiled, "Of course it's just a banquet."
Buying Qingyu, letting Qingyu get close to Yu Xiaoxiao, and just now letting Qingyu go out to serve Yu Xiaoxiao, Gu Xinglang put the things together, what else is there to not understand? As long as Yu Xiaoxiao and him can't be husband and wife, the emperor will be angry, what place will the Gu family have in Fengtian? Gu Xinglang supported the table with his hands and wanted to get up, but when he moved, the severe pain in his ankle made Gu Xinglang stiffen instantly.
"You have been guarding Wangxiang Pass for many years," Jing Mo said slowly, "The terrain of Wangxiang Pass is dangerous. If it weren't for this pass, Fengtian would have ceased to exist long ago."
Wangxiang Pass is the first pass between Fengtian and the White Tiger Kingdom in the northwest. It is the most important city pass in Fengtian. Gu Xinglang looked at Jing Mo and gritted his teeth and said, "Do you want our Gu family to give up Wangxiang Pass? Prince, have you forgotten? The commander of the pass is not from our Gu family."
"But he is an old member of your Gu family."
"He is one of my grandfather's former subordinates. Would he betray his master and his country?"
"As long as we have a city defense plan, it doesn't matter how dangerous Wangxiang Pass is."
Gu Xinglang sneered, "The eldest prince went to so much trouble, but it turned out to be just for a picture."
Jing Mo said: "A map can help me save tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Japanese invasion, so I will naturally do my best."
Gu Xinglang was silent for a long time before he said, "I will explain to the princess that she was just a servant."
"I hope the princess will listen to your explanation," Jing Mo said calmly.
Yu Xiaoxiao had just finished using the toilet and was standing in the corridor of a wooden building. After listening to Qingyu's crying, she asked, "Leave a descendant?" Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei. Could she believe what this woman said?
Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei couldn't pretend they didn't exist at this moment, they could only nod to Yu Xiaoxiao. The princess would know the truth once she went back and asked, they couldn't help the prince consort to hide it.
Qingyu cried, "This was also my own will. At that time, the old lady and the third young master didn't know that the princess would marry. I was of low status and was willing to be sold. As long as the third young master could live a good life, I would be fine with anything."
Of the two secret guards, Xiao Wei was two years younger than Xiao Zhuang, but he was shrewd and thoughtful. After hearing Qing Yu's words, his face darkened. This servant's words were pitiful, but she was saying that she was sincere to Gu Xinglang, but it was a pity that the Gu family sold her out in order to please the princess. It sounded like the Gu family was afraid of the imperial power, coveted wealth, and forced the couple to break up.
Unlike Xiao Wei, Xiao Zhuang could not hear the hidden meaning in Qing Yu's words. He said to Qing Yu impatiently, "You are already a servant of the Great Prince Zhu Ri. Why are you still talking to Her Royal Highness the Princess about this?"
Qingyu knelt down in front of Yu Xiaoxiao, her crying was suppressed, but it sounded even more pitiful.
Xiao Wei said to Yu Xiao: "Princess, let's go back to the banquet hall. The Prince Consort is alone there now."
Before Yu Xiaoxiao could say anything, Qingyu had already knocked his head to the ground, took out a paper roll from his sleeve and handed it to Yu Xiaoxiao.
Yu Xiaoxiao didn't think much about it. She reached out and took the paper roll. When she opened it, she saw a lot of words written on it. Yu Xiaoxiao was immediately upset. Didn't he know that she was illiterate? Couldn't he just say it when he had something to say?
Qingyu saw Yu Xiaoxiao's face change, tears streaming down her face, but she was happy in her heart. This was the prescription Jingmo gave her, which was used to recuperate after a woman had a miscarriage. Princess Linglong knew medicine, and she was a good doctor. When she saw this prescription, she would definitely think that Qingyu had a miscarriage, so the child could only be Gu Xinglang's. For the sake of wealth and glory, she could even give up her own child. Is someone like Gu Xinglang worthy of love?
Yu Xiaoxiao crumpled up the prescription and held it in her hand. Princess Linglong had learned to read and write from Queen Jiang since she was a child, so even though she was illiterate, she had to pretend to be a top student. "What do you want to tell me?" Yu Xiaoxiao's face was paralyzed again, and she looked at Qingyu and asked.
Qingyu was stunned. This reaction was different from what she expected.
Xiao Zhuang said, "Princess, what did she show you?"
Yu Xiaoxiao quickly threw the paper ball to Xiaozhuang and said, "Take a look."
Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei smoothed the paper ball together and saw that it was a prescription, but neither of them knew much about medicine and couldn't tell what disease it was for.
"What did you find out?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked the two brothers.
Xiao Wei said, "It's a prescription, Princess. What disease is it for?"
Chinese medicine prescription, even if Yu Xiaoxiao could read, she couldn't understand this. She lowered her head, looked at Qingyu again and asked, "Are you sick?" Qingyu looked weak to begin with, and even when she was not sick, Yu Xiaoxiao thought she looked like she was in the late stage of a serious illness. Now that this person handed her a prescription, Yu Xiaoxiao could only think that this person was sick.
Qingyu shed tears and said, "This is the prescription I used. I have been taking it for several days."
Xiao Zhuang asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Qingyu whispered, "I had a miscarriage."
