In Gu Xingnuo's opinion, the wedding of Princess Fuhui and Hua Chunlin is an opportunity to lure out the snakes, giving them a chance to wipe out the criminals hiding in Fengjing City.
In Yu Xiaoxiao's view, the princess's marriage meant that she would have to cut off her own flesh again.
In Xianzong's view, this wedding was his chance to make up for his sister, so after hearing Gu Xingnuo's plan to lure the snake out of its hole, Xianzong immediately felt miserable. Last time, he sent Fuhui to Suzaku for the sake of the country. This time, is he going to push Fuhui out to suffer in order to risk his life with Mo Wen and his son-in-law?
"Your Majesty," Young Master Gu said to Emperor Xianzong, "I will definitely ensure the safety of the Princess and the eldest son of the Hua family."
Xianzong said: "With Linglong here, these two people certainly can't die, but Yanruo, have you ever thought that Fuhui will hate me?"
Gu Xingnuo was stunned and asked, "Your Majesty?"
"My sister hates me enough," Xianzong sighed.
Gu Xingnuo remained silent.
"I understand," Xianzong sighed and said to Gu Dashao, "You go and make the arrangements."
"I obey your order," Young Master Gu said hurriedly.
"It ruined a wedding, but I finally let her marry the man she loves," Emperor Xianzong whispered, "Compared to Linglong and Xinglang, Fuhui and Hua Chunlin are pretty good."
Gu Xingnuo knelt down and said, "This minister deserves to die."
"Forget it," Xianzong waved his hand to let Gu Xingnuo stand up, and said, "I will settle this account with Mo Wen."
Gu Xingnuo stood up, and a eunuch outside the door reported: "Your Majesty, there is urgent news from the west."
"Let the messenger in," Xianzong said immediately.
Gu Xingnuo stood aside and whispered, "I'm afraid there may be some results from the White Tiger Country."
After a while, the cavalry captain who delivered the letter followed the eunuch into the imperial study.
Xianzong opened the urgent report and glanced at it quickly, then said to Gu Xingnuo, "You are right. The little emperor of the White Tiger Kingdom died suddenly, and Zuo You established a one-month-old baby as the emperor."
Gu Xingnuo looked at the light cavalry captain kneeling on the ground and asked, "Is there any movement from Baihu?"
The light cavalry captain said, "There was a fierce battle in their capital some time ago. I heard that some members of the royal family fled to the Eternal Life Temple."
Xianzong slammed the urgent report on the table and asked, "Do you know who this royal family is?"
The light cavalry captain said: "I don't know. I only know that the royal family was not in the capital at the time. They were escorted away directly from their fiefdom by the people of the Eternal Life Temple."
"This person has a fiefdom," Gu Xingnuo immediately said to Emperor Xianzong, "Then this person must be the young emperor's uncle."
Xianzong asked, "What about the Queen Mother of Baihu?"
The light cavalry captain said, "I only heard that Empress Dowager Zuo jumped down from the tower of the imperial palace and fell in front of Marshal Zuo's horse."
Xianzong asked, "Is she alive or dead?"
The light cavalry captain shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of this."
Xianzong waved his hand and asked the light cavalry captain to retreat.
Young Master Gu said to Emperor Xianzong: "It is right for Zuo You not to declare himself emperor. His biggest enemy at this time is Mo Wen, so he must ensure that Baihu does not cause any major chaos."
Xianzong sighed, "They are siblings."
Young Master Gu lowered his head and said nothing. The Empress Dowager Zuo could ensure the wealth and prosperity of the Zuo family for a lifetime, but once the Empress Dowager Zuo died, or her power was usurped by the young emperor, the Zuo family would probably be exterminated. Between his own sister and his family, Zuo Ruo was afraid that he had no choice at all.
Xianzong wanted to write a letter to Zuo You, but he stopped several times, thinking that something was not right. "Write this letter," Xianzong decisively gave the task to Gu Dashao.
Gu Xingnuo said, "Your Majesty, you should wait until Zuo You's letter arrives before you reply to him."
Xianzong thought, that's right, no matter how powerful Zuo You is, he is just a regent. Why should he, as an emperor, write a letter to a regent first? Is there a copy?
At the morning court session of the next day, Xianzong did not mention a word about the White Tiger incident. He only talked about marrying a sister he had adopted in his early years to Hua Chunlin.
Immediately, a minister stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, what is the matter?" For so many years, Your Majesty has never mentioned that he has acknowledged an imperial sister, and now this person suddenly appears?
Xianzong replied to the minister calmly: "Do I need your consent to recognize a sister?"
"I dare not," the minister knelt down and apologized.
"I am just telling you about this matter. I want to ask for your opinion on marrying my younger sister?" Xianzong said again.
This time no one argued with Xianzong. What did the emperor’s sister’s marriage have to do with them?
At the morning court session on the third day, Gu Xingnuo was formally appointed prime minister and conferred the title of nobility.
Some ministers were happy about this, some were jealous, and many upright and just ministers were worried.
Gu Xingnuo was appointed as a prime minister and made a marquis. The Gu family has two marquises and a prince consort. This family also holds a large number of troops. Is this power too great? The emperor spoiled the Zhao family, so will the Gu family be spoiled by the emperor and become another Zhao family?
But no matter how worried the ministers were, no one raised any objection to Young Master Gu becoming the Prime Minister. It was said that Gu Xingnuo was not a good prime minister. Not only did he offend the Gu family, but he also offended Her Royal Highness the Princess. Who could afford to offend him now?
On the day of Princess Fuhui's wedding, Emperor Xianzong personally stood on the city wall of the imperial palace, just as he had done when he sent Yu Xiaoxiao off to her wedding, and watched Princess Fuhui, dressed in her wedding dress, being led by Hua Chunlin, who had come to pick her up, and step into the bridal sedan.
The wedding of Princess Fuhui was not a grand affair, but it certainly made Fengjing City lively for a day.
But what disappointed and relieved Xianzong was that the gang of criminals did not show up that day, making their arrangements in vain, and he did not feel sorry for his sister again.
Seven days after Princess Fuhui became her new bride, seeing that there was no hope, Major General Gu withdrew all the troops that had been stationed near the Hua Mansion to secretly protect the princess and her husband.
Yu Xiaoxiao, who had been feeling pained ever since she gave him the big gift, finally couldn't hold it in any longer after seven days and grumbled to the big bosses, "How could this happen? I worked so hard to get these two lovers together, but in the end, I still have to pay a huge sum of money?"
The eldest boss said, "Princess, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you've suffered a great loss in this matter."
Yu Xiao: "Yes, Xiao Gu is very generous. He gave away a large sum of money!"
The eldest boss said, "That's not the problem, Princess. The princess is the elder, right?"
Yu Xiao: "Yeah, what's the problem with this?"
Everyone was looking at their own boss together. Of course, the princess's aunt was the princess's elder. Was there any need to say that?
The eldest boss said, "Since she is the elder, where was her gift when the princess got married? Also, Hua Chunlin is now your uncle, did the Hua family send a gift when the princess got married?"
What the hell!
Yu Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that she had suffered a huge loss!
