Ai Jingzhong didn't understand what Mo Wen said. If becoming the emperor was destined, how could he and Concubine Long discuss the selection of the future emperor? Wasn't this a joke? But Ai Jingzhong didn't dare to ask Mo Wen about this. Seeing Mo Wen waved his hand, he could only bow to Mo Wen and leave the temple. ..
After Ai Jingzhong left the Buddhist hall, an attendant monk walked into the Buddhist hall and whispered to Mo Wen, "Master, Chengming has woken up."
Mo Wen asked, "Can he speak?"
The attendant monk said: "The pronunciation is unclear, but we can understand what is being said."
"What did he say about the Bodhi Temple?"
"Nothing."
Mo Wen raised his eyes and looked at his attendant monk.
The attendant monk said, "Master, Changshan is the only way for Princess Linglong and her group to go to Chiyang City. Could the incident at Bodhi Temple be caused by Princess Linglong and her group?"
"They are all suspected," Mo Wen whispered, "With Yu Linglong's brain, she should understand that it is better to have less trouble than more." (Master, you have misjudged the princess, ==)
Seeing that Mo Wen looked unhappy, the attending monk dared not say anything.
"Go check," Mo Wendao said, "Jingshi had just finished suing Chengming to me, and only the ruins of Bodhi Temple were left. How could such a coincidence happen?"
"Yes," the attendant monk responded. He knew in his heart that Abbot Mo Wen was doubting Imperial Master Shang Chengming.
Mo Wen stood up from his chair and said, "Come with me to see Cheng Ming."
"Yes," the attendant monk hurriedly followed Mo Wen again.
Outside the Buddhist temple, the accumulated snow melted into water, which dripped onto the eaves and treetops like rain, making a dripping sound.
Mo Wen looked at the icicles reflecting the sunlight under the eaves, and suddenly whispered to the attendant monk behind him: "In fact, it's the same no matter who becomes the king of Suzaku. It's ridiculous."
The monk attendant did not dare to respond. If he really didn't care, then why would the master he served interfere in the succession struggle of the Li royal family?
In the inn, Jing Mo looked at Gu Xinglang without any surprise and said with a smile: "Are you willing to help go to the Southwest Camp?"
Gu Xinglang nodded. What he had just said was very clear and there was no need to repeat it.
Jing Mo looked at Li Luo.
Li Luo still looked groggy, but he managed to sit up, and bowed to Gu Xinglang, saying, "Prince Consort Gu, I'm so grateful for this..."
Gu Xinglang waved his hand at Li Luo, not letting Li Luo finish his words of thanks, and said, "I may not be able to go to the Southwest Camp, Your Highness. I can only try."
Li Luo hurriedly said, "Of course. If there is any danger above, Prince Consort Gu, you must take care of your own safety first."
"There is no time to lose," Jing Mo said, "Qinghui, leave when it gets dark."
Gu Xinglang nodded.
At this time, Li Xiaoyuan was seriously injured and bedridden, Long Fei and Ai Jingzhong had not yet chosen a replacement for Long Hao, Mo Wen had just arrived in Chiyang City, and Cheng Ming was also seriously injured and unconscious. Perhaps these people were too busy to trap them to death in Chiyang City. If they didn't take a gamble now, Jing Mo and Li Luo, including Gu Xinglang and Jiang Zhuojun, all understood that they would not even have the chance to be gamblers.
In the Chaoyang Hall of the Suzaku Imperial Palace, Concubine Long sat on the couch in a daze, shaking her head and saying to Ai Jingzhong: "Long Hao is my son, he is the eldest of your majesty!"
Ai Jingzhong knew that Concubine Long was not so cruel, so he waited until Concubine Long stopped talking before Xiangye Ai said, "This is what the host master meant. Your Majesty, if you disagree with the host master now, then you will lose everything, right?"
After hearing what Ai Jingzhong said, Concubine Long suddenly laughed and said, "Yes, it's a complete loss. Prime Minister Ai, you don't have to trade your son for this wealth. You really speak lightly."
Ai Jingzhong immediately knelt down in front of Concubine Long and said, "Your Majesty, I have been busy for Your Majesty for all these years. Now that Your Majesty has been in trouble, my heart is broken, Your Majesty!"
Concubine Long leaned back and sat on the couch.
Ai Jingzhong took a few steps forward on his knees and said, "Your Highness, you need to make a decision as soon as possible as to who will be the emperor, the Second Prince or the Fifth Prince."
"You go see Li Lu," said Concubine Long.
Ai Jingzhong said: "Fifth Prince?"
Concubine Long covered her face and said, "If I abandon the First Prince, how will the Second Prince view me as his mother?"
Ai Jingzhong knelt on the ground and didn't speak for a long time.
The imperial family has a shallow relationship. Concubine Long has abandoned Long Hao now. Seeing Long Hao's fate, wouldn't Li Ning think about himself? If he is in trouble in the future, wouldn't Concubine Long abandon him as well? This thorn is stuck in his heart. Second Prince Li Ning was helped to the throne by Concubine Long. How could he not be on guard against this cruel and ruthless mother? Fifth Emperor Li Lu is still young, and there are some things that Li Lu may not understand clearly. Therefore, Concubine Long's choice of Li Lu among these two sons was not a decision made at will.
"Your Majesty is wise," Ai Jingzhong kowtowed to Concubine Long.
Concubine Long shook her head and said, "I can't be a human being living in this palace."
Ai Jingzhong looked up at Concubine Long and found that she was in tears.
At dusk that day, the sound of evening drums coming from the White Horse Temple resounded throughout Chiyang City.
Gu Xinglang took Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei and mounted their horses at the back door of the inn.
Yu Xiaoxiao stood in front of Gu Xinglang's horse and said, "Xiao Gu, you guys should be careful."
Gu Xinglang nodded to Yu Xiaoxiao and whispered, "Wait here for me to come back."
Yu Xiaoxiao said "hmm" and looked around.
The boss and his gang looked aside and pretended they didn't exist.
Yu Xiaoxiao pulled Gu Xinglang's robe.
Gu Xinglang had no choice but to lower his body. Yu Xiao was short, so Gu Shao had to lie on the saddle. He said, "Anything else you want me to do?"
Yu Xiaoxiao tiptoed and whispered to Gu Xinglang, "Don't be so stupid as to risk your life."
Gu Xinglang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid."
Yu Xiaoxiao pulled Gu Xinglang down and said, "If you are stopped by an expert, come back. Don't try to be brave!"
Gu Xinglang put his hand into Yu Xiaoxiao's hair and rubbed it, saying, "Are you so worried about me?"
Yu Xiao: "I suddenly don't want you to do this anymore, why don't we give up."
Gu Xinglang hugged Yu Xiaoxiao, kissed her forehead, and said, "Don't worry, I know how to save your life. Wait here for me to come back."
"Then remember what I said," Yu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to say, "Isn't it said that running away is the best strategy among the sixteen strategies? Even if you don't believe me, you have to believe what the book says."
Before putting Yu Xiaoxiao on the ground, Gu Xinglang put his mouth close to Yu Xiaoxiao's ear and whispered, "I believe you."
Yu Xiaoxiao landed on the ground and looked up at her little Gu. The afterglow of the setting sun at the alley sprinkled a golden hue on the ground behind Gu Xinglang, as if it had gilded Gu Xinglang. The sunlight made Gu Xinglang's aura warmer and softer, but it also stung Yu Xiaoxiao's eyes, making it difficult for her to see Gu Xinglang clearly.
