Outside the dungeon, Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei saw Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang walking out of the dungeon, and they hurried forward to greet them. The two brothers first glanced at Yu Xiaoxiao quickly, and then stared at Gu Xinglang, whose body was covered in blood.
Gu Xinglang whispered: "I'm not hurt."
Xiaozhuang let out a long sigh and said, "Prince Consort, I'm glad you're okay!"
Gu Xinglang said, "The princess is fine."
Xiaozhuang, Xiaowei..., the princess will definitely be fine! Is there any need to ask this?
Yu Xiaoxiao stretched her head and looked around, saying, "Where is that old lady?"
The guards hurriedly turned sideways to let Yu Xiaoxiao look behind them.
The old woman was tied up with ropes and pressed to the ground. Her whole body was covered in blood and she looked seriously injured.
Yu Xiaoxiao asked the old Taoist: "Do you think she will also wear a human skin? My eldest brother said that this old lady is very good at fighting."
The old Taoist resisted the urge to regard Yu Xiaoxiao as an idiot again, and said, "Have you ever seen anyone who doesn't use the skin of a grown woman but uses the skin of an old woman? Is there something wrong with that?"
Yu Xiao: "What do you mean? Do you think Mammy's skin is not good?"
Old Taoist..., what does this have to do with that fat lady?
Yu Xiaoxiao smacked her lips.
The old Taoist didn't wait for Yu Xiaoxiao to speak, and said, "You don't need to say the following."
Yu Xiao: "I think so..."
The old Taoist cleared his throat and walked to the side.
Gu Xingnuo said to Xiao Wei, "Take your people in to clean up, don't move the body with your hands."
Xiao Wei said, “Yes.”
Gu Xingnuo looked at the guards in the courtyard, and then instructed Xiao Wei: "You take good care of the people you brought in, don't let them talk nonsense, and don't let them leave the dungeon. Wait for me to come."
Xiao Wei responded with a "yes" again and ran to ask the general of the Imperial Guard for manpower.
Gu Xingnuo said to Xiaozhuang who was looking at him eagerly: "Go and help."
Xiaozhuang hurried away too.
Young Master Gu turned around and said to Gu Xinglang, "Let's go, and take that old woman with us."
When Yu Xiaoxiao placed the two people in front of Emperor Xianzong, although he could not see clearly what the two people wrapped in clothes looked like, Emperor Xianzong couldn't help but shiver.
Yu Xiaoxiao looked around and said, "Where's Brother Su?"
Xianzong said unhappily, "What do you mean you call me brother? Are you very familiar with Su Yi?"
Yu Xiao: "I am familiar with Su Zhao, can I still treat Brother Su as an outsider?"
Xianzong sighed. His daughter had known Su Zhao for only a few days and she had already become close to him? Wasn't this speed of making friends a little too fast?
Yu Xiaoxiao: "Where is Brother Su? Did he leave the palace?"
Xianzong said: "In the side hall, I will let the imperial physician take a look at him first."
Gu Xingnuo said to Yu Xiao: "Princess, Young Master Su and his men were chased several times on the road."
Xianzong didn't wait for Yu Xiao to say anything, and said, "Su Yi can't die now, let's not talk about him first. What's going on with you? Why is there blood on Xinglang's body?"
Yu Xiao: "Xiao Gu was not injured, but many people died in the dungeon this time. It's my fault."
Xianzong said: "It's your fault? What did you do?" Xianzong didn't believe that his daughter would kill innocent people.
Yu Xiaoxiao didn't say anything and took off the clothes on Chuqiu and the young man.
Xianzong only glanced at the two of them, and was so frightened that he almost fainted without even a word.
Yu Xiao: "I didn't expect that there was a big murder weapon hidden among those seven people. I was stupid this time."
Xianzong did not recognize Chuqiu and asked, "What is this? Is it a human?"
Yu Xiao: "I won't say she is your sneeze, to save you from feeling sick."
Xianzong..., is this what you call not saying it?
"Dad," although Yu Xiaoxiao still had a blank face, everyone present could feel that Her Royal Highness the Princess was in a low mood. Yu Xiaoxiao pointed at the young man and said, "Mo Wen has a group of people like this. The Taoist priest said they practice evil magic. I have fought with this guy, and ordinary people are no match for him."
Xianzong felt dizzy and the first thought that came to his mind was, should I give up resistance?
At this time, Gu Xingnuo looked at Young Master Fenglin and said, "It seems that Young Master has to go back as soon as possible." The enemy's situation is unclear, how can they deal with Mo Wen?
Master Fenglin nodded.
Yu Xiaoxiao was worried and said, "That bald guy has so many secrets. How can we ensure that Young Master's departure from the Temple of Eternal Life will not be discovered by Mo Wen? It would only take him a few minutes to kill Young Master, right?"
Master Fenglin looked at the young man on the ground, suddenly smiled and said, "Let's make a bet."
Yu Xiao: "How can you gamble with your life?"
Master Fenglin said, "Then Princess, please don't let me wait too long in the Eternal Life Temple. Mo Wen won't kill me in public. Compared to the princess, I am not his biggest enemy. I think even if my deeds are exposed, I can still prolong my life for some time. Princess, you..."
"Master," Xianzong interrupted Master Fenglin and said, "We are all Mo Wen's enemies."
Everyone..., why do you have to emphasize this?
Yu Xiao: "Dad, what's the point of saying this? Don't worry, the dead bald guy will definitely not let you go."
Xianzong burst into tears. Why did he worry about this? !
Yu Xiaoxiao turned her head and looked at the old woman who was pressed to her knees on the ground, and said, "How many accomplices do you have in the city?"
When the old woman heard Yu Xiaoxiao talking to her, she looked up and saw Gu Xinglang with a panicked expression.
Xianzong said: "Why did you bring her in? Drag her out and beat her for me. I will stop when she tells the truth."
The old woman looked at Gu Xinglang and said, "He, he is a monster!"
"Someone come here!" Xianzong slammed the desk and shouted.
"He's a monster!" The old woman screamed as if she had a mental breakdown.
Yu Xiaoxiao was about to take action, but was stopped by Gu Xingnuo. Young Master Gu said nonchalantly, "This old woman is talking nonsense, Princess, don't worry about it."
Two palace guards ran in from outside and dragged the old woman out of the imperial study.
Soon, the sound of a punishment stick hitting a human body was heard outside the imperial study.
Xianzong stood up, turned around with his hands behind his back, and then stood in front of the young man and asked Gu Xingnuo, "What is this evil magic?"
Yu Xiaoxiao pushed the Taoist priest in front of her father.
When the old Taoist spoke to Emperor Xianzong, his words were even more confusing. Yu Xiaoxiao didn't know whether her father understood him or not, but she didn't understand a word he said.
Xianzong listened to the old Taoist's words and was silent for a while. Finally, he said, "Since he has such help, why did he use it only today?"
Young Master Gu said at this time: "There is a possibility that Mo Wen cannot fully control these people, so he will not use them unless it is absolutely necessary.
Xianzong asked, "Is there anyone in Yongsheng Temple that Mo Wen cannot control?"
Yu Xiaoxiao called Xianzong "Dad" and then asked Xianzong to see Master Fenglin. Isn't this a ready-made example?
Xianzong..., this girl always takes pleasure in proving that he is stupid, is she really his biological daughter? !
