When the emperor is angry, corpses will be scattered all over the place.
Gu Xinglang understood the meaning of Xianzong's ruthless attack and responded in a low voice: "I understand."
"It is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines," Emperor Xianzong thought about it, and then said to his son-in-law, "I myself also have three thousand concubines in my harem, but Linglong is my only daughter. This girl is still stubborn and only has you in her heart. For this silly girl, I will not tell you about normal things. You want to have three wives and four concubines..."
"Your Majesty," Gu Xinglang said without waiting for Emperor Xianzong to finish his words, risking the death penalty for treason, "I will not have three wives and four concubines."
"Tsk," Xianzong said, "We are all men, who are you trying to fool?"
Gu Xinglang...
"If Linglong nods, you will have three wives and four concubines," Xianzong told his son-in-law, "If she doesn't nod, you will have to stay with her all your life. I only have this one daughter, and I have to pamper her. It doesn't make sense for you not to pamper my pampered daughter. Gu Xiaosan, don't tell me that a woman should follow the three obediences and four virtues. Linglong is my daughter, and the three obediences and four virtues are gone. My daughter can go to heaven!"
When he said this, Xianzong was no different from any other silly father in the world who doted on his daughter.
Gu Xinglang knelt in front of Emperor Xianzong and said, "Your Majesty, I will be satisfied if I can stay with the princess for the rest of my life. I dare not and will not let the princess down."
Xianzong stretched out his hand to pull Gu Xinglang up from the ground and said, "I would also say this. I want to see how you perform."
Gu Xinglang bowed and said, "I understand."
Xianzong patted Gu Xinglang on the shoulder and was helped into the carriage by the leader of the secret guards.
After Xianzong and his party left, Gu Xinglang stood alone in front of the Gu Mansion, looking at the empty street and was stunned for a while.
"Third Young Master," the steward came running from the mansion in a hurry and called Gu Xinglang, "The eldest young master's wife wants you to come over."
Gu Xinglang walked back to the mansion and asked, "What's the matter?"
The housekeeper said, "Madam is not feeling well, and the eldest young lady's wife is worried."
Gu Xinglang still had a cold face and asked, "Have you called a doctor?"
The housekeeper said, "Madam said no, and the eldest young lady is not allowed to invite a doctor."
"Then there's no need to invite me," Gu Xinglang said, turned around and left.
The housekeeper was stunned. Did he hear correctly? Did the Third Young Master not care about his mother's life or death? Seeing that Gu Xinglang was about to walk around the big screen wall and disappear, the housekeeper hurriedly chased after Gu Xinglang and whispered, "Third Young Master, the eldest young master's wife is still asking about your cousin?"
Gu Xinglang stopped.
The butler lowered his head.
"Send her back as soon as possible," Gu Xinglang said coldly.
The housekeeper said with a stiff face, "But Miss Biao's left arm is broken, Third Master, please take a look."
This time, Gu Xinglang ignored the housekeeper and walked straight forward.
The housekeeper shook his head, ran back to the corridor outside Madam Xu's bedroom, stood in front of Madam Sun, and repeated Gu Xinglang's original words to Madam Sun.
Mrs. Sun was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with him?"
The butler shook his head. He felt that the old lady had been too harsh on the princess, and it was inevitable that the third young master would be angry. However, the butler really had no idea how Madam Xu had offended the third young master.
"I understand. You go and get busy," Mrs. Sun asked the butler to leave with a sad look on her face.
Gu Xinglang returned to the room. Yu Xiaoxiao was sitting there discussing the matter of medicine men with Master Fenglin. When she saw Gu Xinglang coming in, she said, "Xiao Gu, Master Fenglin said that there are many medicine men in the Eternal Life Temple."
Gu Xinglang stood and asked, "How many people are in the same situation as my father?"
Master Fenglin shook his head and said, "I don't know about this."
Yu Xiao: "There is only one mountain road leading up to the Eternal Life Temple. It seems unrealistic for us to bring a large army to fight."
Gu Xinglang said: "Let's go to the Imperial Master to discuss this. Princess, there are no rebels hiding at home now, so we can leave."
"We're leaving now?" Yu Xiao: "We don't need to go see grandma and the others anymore?"
Master Fenglin said, "Why do you want to see that old lady?"
"Not even saying goodbye, isn't that bad?" Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang said: "No need, grandma has already rested, I will come back in the evening."
"What about your mother?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked, "What about our father's matter?"
Your mother, our father, just by these two titles, one can see the different positions that Madam Xu and General Gu hold in Yu Xiaoxiao's heart.
Master Fenglin said, "If she knew that the general was still alive, wouldn't it make her believe that Mo Wen was a god and that she had done nothing wrong?"
Yu Xiaoxiao kicked Master Fenglin under the table.
Gu Xinglang could never have imagined that his mother would use him to make a deal with Mo Wen. He said, "My mother tried to revive the dead. This was against the will of heaven. She was extremely wrong."
Yu Xiaoxiao stood up and said, "But she is your mother after all, why did you hit her?"
Master Fenglin said with a smile: "The elders may not be kind, but the sons cannot be unfilial."
Yu Xiaoxiao rubbed her nose. What a dull life. "Let's go," Yu Xiaoxiao twisted Gu Xinglang's arm and said, "If we don't want to say goodbye, then we'll go see the national master. My father said he would give us a house, but he didn't say which one. It's a good opportunity to go and ask him."
The young couple had no luggage to pack, so they left with Master Fenglin.
Madam Sun was leading her people towards Gu Xinglang. Halfway through the journey, she heard a servant come to report that the Third Young Master and the Princess had already left. Madam Sun was stunned for a long time. Why did she feel that the Third Young Master Gu had made an enemy with the family?
Madam Lin was in her room, listening to her maids talking about Gu Xinglang and Yu Xiaoxiao's departure. She gently touched little Gu Xu's head and said with a smile, "If it were me, I would leave too. Why would I stay in the mansion? To see what the head of the main courtyard thinks?"
The old woman advised: "Second Young Master Madam, it is better if you do not ask about this matter."
"Of course I can't get involved in this matter," Mrs. Lin said calmly, "I just want to see how that cousin will react. I want to see what kind of pretense she will put on this time."
The old woman said, "I think the princess knows what's going on."
"This has nothing to do with the princess's calculations," Madam Lin whispered, "It depends on our Third Young Master's heart."
"What about the Third Young Master?"
"That kind of thing still wants to be a concubine in the Gu Mansion?" Madam Lin smiled and covered her mouth, "The old lady is confused. Does she think the men in this mansion are also confused? Wait, I heard that Xu'er's uncle is on his way back. If you have the guts, you can act like a demon in front of Xu'er's uncle again."
Xianzong arrived at the Ministry of War and got off the car. His Majesty the Emperor remembered that he had forgotten to ask about those two bastards Gu Ziyang. Gu Xinglang said that his father fell into Mo Wen's hands, but he didn't say what exactly happened. Xianzong slapped his forehead. He was so angry with those two bastards!
The secret guards and imperial guards saw Emperor Xianzong slapping his forehead, and no one dared to ask the emperor what happened.
