Xianzong's imperial edict did not say much, but only asked Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang to go to the palace again after the morning court tomorrow.
Yu Xiaoxiao received the imperial edict, stood up and asked the eunuch who came to deliver the eunuch, "What does my father want to see me about?"
The eunuch shook his head and said, "Your Highness, I dare not ask more about His Majesty's affairs."
Nanny Wang stepped forward and stuffed a wallet into the eunuch's hand. She didn't say a word and just looked at the eunuch.
The eunuch pinched his wallet, estimating that the reward was quite a bit, and then he said, "Prince Jing will come to the palace tomorrow, and I think it's about the prince's business."
Everyone understood as soon as they heard it. This meant that the princess and her husband were going to discuss the matter of the seventh prince going to kill the sun.
Gu Xinglang immediately decided that as soon as the city gate opened tomorrow, he would take Yu Ziyi away.
Yu Xiaoxiao stared at the eunuch's hand holding the wallet. How could the officialdom in Fengtian ever be good if they accepted bribes so openly?
The eunuch also understood that what he said was not a good thing for Princess Linglong and the people in the Gu Mansion. After paying his respects to Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang, he left without staying for a moment and left with his entourage.
Yu Xiaoxiao saw that the eunuchs who delivered the imperial edict had all left, but everyone was still standing in the front yard, so she said, "Let's all go to bed."
Gu Chen said: "Princess, what do you think about tomorrow's events?"
Yu Xiao: "Let's talk about tomorrow's matters tomorrow." As long as the world doesn't end, nothing is important in Yu Xiaoxiao's eyes.
"You go and rest," Gu Xinglang turned his head and looked at Yu Xiaoxiao and said, "I'll be back in a while."
Yu Xiaoxiao didn't suspect anything. Anyway, she was full and couldn't think of anything else to do except go to sleep.
After Yu Xiaoxiao took the bewildered Nanny Wang and others back to their room, Gu Chen also asked the old lady and her grandsons' wives to go back to their rooms to rest, and he took his three grandsons back to the study.
This time, Gu Xinglang was carried back to the study by his elder and second brothers.
Old Master Gu returned to the study and immediately said, "Tomorrow Xinglang will accompany the princess to the palace. Xingyan, you take the Seventh Prince out of the capital. You don't have to go anywhere else. Just go northwest to Wuzhou. That's where the Jiang family's house is. It's also where their troops are stationed. They should be able to keep the Seventh Prince safe."
After hearing what his grandfather said, Gu Xingyan nodded without even thinking, and said, "Okay, I'll take His Majesty the Seventh Prince away."
Gu Xinglang was anxious. He didn't want to make Yu Xiaoxiao sad, but he also didn't want to implicate his family.
Seeing Gu Xinglang opening his mouth to speak, Gu Xingnuo spoke first as if he knew what Gu Xinglang was going to say: "Don't say you don't want to implicate the family. The princess is not only indebted to you, but also to all of us in the mansion. Your second brother and I are doing our part to help the Seventh Prince."
Gu Xingyan said, "San'er, don't be silly. Even if you don't get involved in this matter, there are many people in the court who want to make things difficult for us. We are not the kind of people who are afraid of trouble."
"Let's do it this way," Gu Chen did not allow Gu Xinglang to speak any more, and said, "Early tomorrow morning, Xingyan will take the Seventh Prince to Wuzhou on the pretext that Xinglang is looking for a doctor. Big brother, second brother, send the Third Prince back to his room."
Gu Xingnuo and Gu Xingyan picked up the recliner where Gu Xinglang was sitting and left.
After his grandchildren left, the old man sat behind his desk and sighed heavily. He was betting that Emperor Xianzong would not kill their Gu family for the sake of Princess Linglong. As for making enemies with a certain prince's maternal family, the old man was not afraid of thousands of troops, so how could he be afraid of this?
Outside the study, the two older brothers carried their younger brother out of the courtyard of their grandfather's study and put the recliner down again.
Gu Xinglang immediately said, "Second brother, just tell them that I am not feeling well and I won't have to go to the palace tomorrow. I will take His Majesty the Seventh Prince away."
Gu Xingyan said, "San'er, if you go out like this and something happens, will you protect the Seventh Prince, or will the Seventh Prince protect you? Stop making a fuss."
Gu Xingnuo half-knelt down, looked at Gu Xinglang and said, "Third brother, even if you take the Seventh Prince away, you are the third son of our Gu family. How can our Gu family stay out of this?"
Gu Xinglang was only thinking about his wife and hadn't thought things through so thoroughly. Once Gu Xingnuo explained everything, the third young master Gu felt guilty again.
Gu Xingnuo knew that his brother was a thoughtful person, so he patted Gu Xinglang's hand gently. Young Master Gu whispered, "Silly boy, don't think too much. We are a family, so we have to share the good and the bad. If the Seventh Prince can become a great man in the future, won't our family benefit from it?"
Gu Xingyan said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, what you said is too vulgar. I'm helping people, so why do you want something in return?"
Gu Xingnuo looked at his two younger brothers, smiled bitterly, and said, "I just want to say that everything in this world is mutually beneficial. The princess saved us and got a good husband. We help the Seventh Prince, and maybe we can get more wealth and glory in the future. So Xinglang, you don't have to think too much. Go to the palace with the princess tomorrow, and don't let the people in the palace and Jingmo see anything wrong."
"Yes," Gu Xingyan said, "Hurry up and spend your wedding night with the princess. It is important to live a good life with the princess."
Gu Xingnuo glared at his brother who was not very knowledgeable. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Gu Xingyan grinned and said, "How can they be husband and wife if they haven't slept together? Xinglang can't move now, but the princess can. Hey, San'er, there should be this posture in the book I gave you, right?"
Gu Xinglang blushed and said to Gu Xingnuo, "Brother, please take me back."
"Shut up," Gu Xingnuo waved his fist at his second brother and said, "Let's send Xinglang back."
In the bedroom, Yu Xiaoxiao had already fallen asleep. She was short, and sleeping on the huge new bed made the large carved wooden bed look even more empty.
Gu Xinglang was sent to the front of the room by his two brothers, and then two strong maids took over and carried him to Yu Xiaoxiao's bed.
Yu Xiaoxiao heard some noise beside her, she opened her eyes and saw that the person approaching her was Gu Xinglang, she closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
Gu Xinglang waved his hand to let the two maids leave, sat on the bed and stared at Yu Xiaoxiao for a while. The words of that reckless Gu Xingyan still had an impact on the third young master Gu. Looking at his wife's rosy face while sleeping, Gu Xinglang felt a heat in his lower abdomen, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch Yu Xiaoxiao's face. The smooth and delicate skin under his hand made Gu Xinglang even more hot and uneasy.
Yu Xiaoxiao was woken up by Gu Xinglang again. She closed her eyes and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Gu Xinglang was still a novice, and he felt guilty about touching his wife's face. When he heard his young wife talking, his hand felt as if it was burned, and he took his hand back in a flash.
Yu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and looked into Gu Xinglang's eyes.
Gu Xinglang said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, go to sleep."
Yu Xiaoxiao glanced down. Living in the end times where there is no moral integrity, Instructor Yu had never eaten pork, but he still watched pigs run. He reached out and rubbed Gu Xinglang through his pants a few times, saying, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? You can't roll in the sheets, let me rub you first."
