Three days later, when people in Fengjing were still discussing the killing of his uncle and the slaughter of the farm by the son-in-law, another piece of news came from the son-in-law's mansion that the son-in-law Gu Xinglang had seriously injured the new emperor of Qinglong's brother Su Yi.
The source of this news cannot be traced, but many people saw the imperial doctors hurriedly walking into the Prince Consort's Mansion that day.
On the fourth day, the imperial guards surrounded the Prince Consort's mansion in three layers.
At the morning court session that day, Prime Minister Gu Xingnuo knelt for a long time in front of the imperial palace and requested to see Emperor Xianzong. However, after kneeling for a whole day and a night, Prime Minister Gu received an imperial edict ordering him to return home and reflect.
When Gu Xingnuo left the palace holding the imperial edict, his steps were unsteady, which reminded many ministers in the court of how Zhao Qiumin left the palace after he lost power. The figures of the two prime ministers overlapped exactly. Many smart people in the court immediately determined that the Gu family had lost the emperor's favor.
Three days after the siege of the Prince Consort's Mansion, someone saw Princess Linglong and Emperor Zhu Rixin both appear in Fang Garden, a famous flower-viewing spot in Fengjing City. At this time, all the flowers in Fang Garden had withered, but there was an acre of plum forest with plum blossoms blooming early.
The news soon spread throughout Fengjing City, and soon became a hot topic in the government and the public in Fengtian.
When Princess Linglong's carriage drove directly into the Deyi Winery where Jing Mo was staying, it was no longer a secret in Fengjing City that Lord Zhu Rixin wanted to marry Princess Linglong.
So when Jiang Zhuojun and Gu Xingyan rode into Fengjing City, Jiang Zhuojun had to stare at Gu Xingyan, who was on the verge of losing control, for fear that the second young master Gu would do something irreparable in his rage.
"I'm going to the Prince Consort's Mansion," Gu Xingyan said to Jiang Zhuojun.
Jiang Zhuojun rode his horse across Gu Xingyan's head and whispered, "You are carrying out the emperor's orders. Shouldn't you go to the palace first to report and then make plans?"
The second young master Gu was standing on the street in Fengtian City, with something on his mind. He felt that everyone was looking at him strangely. "I've gone to see Xinglang, and it won't be too late to return to the palace to report," Gu Xingyan was only worried about his younger brother at the moment.
Jiang Zhuojun reached out and grabbed Gu Xingyan's horse reins, and advised: "For this kind of thing, wouldn't it be better for you to ask His Majesty directly?"
"Second Young Master, the eldest young master is here," just when the two men were in a stalemate, one of the Second Young Master Gu's personal soldiers pointed forward and shouted.
Gu Xingyan raised his head and looked forward.
Jiang Zhuojun looked back while sitting on his horse.
Gu Xingnuo brought only Gu Lin and rode up to the two men.
"Brother!" Gu Xingyan shouted.
Gu Xingnuo clasped his fists towards Jiang Zhuojun and called out to Jiang Zhuojun, who was now the King of Ningyuan in Suzaku, "Your Highness."
Jiang Zhuojun clasped his fists and saluted Gu Da Shao in return. Without saying a word of courtesy, he asked Gu Da Shao directly: "Brother Gu, the princess and Xing Lang?"
Young Master Gu looked at Jiang Zhuojun and smiled, but the smile seemed forced, and said, "Your Majesty, my emperor is waiting for you in the palace. I will take my brother back to the palace first. If there is anything, we can talk about it another day."
"Go back home?" Young Master Gu asked anxiously, "Did something really happen?"
"Gu Lin," Young Master Gu called out to Gu Lin behind him.
Gu Lin urged his horse forward a step, sat on the horse and bowed to Jiang Zhuojun and said, "Your Highness, I will lead the way for you."
At this time, Jiang Zhuojun had no choice but to let Gu Lin lead the way, and they went to the Imperial Palace to meet Emperor Xianzong first.
Seeing Jiang Zhuojun and his group follow Gu Lin, Gu Xingyan was about to get anxious and talk to his elder brother.
"Okay," Gu Xingnuo turned his horse's head and whispered to Gu Xingyan, "Come back with me. I have something to tell you."
Second Young Master Gu said, "Can't I go see Xing Lang first?"
Young Master Gu shook his head and said, "You can't see him now."
"What?"
"I said you can't see Xinglang or the princess now."
Gu Er Shao's heart sank at this moment. What does it mean that he can't see this? Is the rumor he heard outside true? !
"Follow me," Gu Xingnuo urged the horse forward.
"Second Young Master?" The personal soldier saw that the eldest young master had left, while the second young master was still sitting on his horse in a daze, so he called out to Gu Xingyan.
Gu Xingyan rode up to Gu Xingnuo on horseback. He was a man who couldn't hold back his words, so he asked, "Did Jingmo really ask His Majesty to marry the princess?"
Gu Xingnuole stopped his horse and glanced at the passers-by near their brothers.
There were passers-by who were listening to the conversation between the two attentively, but when they were spotted by Gu Xingnuo, they quickly scattered. Prime Minister Gu's eyes were scary, as if he wanted to kill them.
"Brother!" Gu Xingyan shouted.
"Shut up!" The eldest son scolded the second son coldly, "If you don't want to kill our entire clan, then just follow me back."
Killing the entire family, Young Master Gu's words scared Young Master Gu. Has the situation become so serious that the lives of their entire Gu family might be in danger?
Gu Xingnuo rode his horse forward again.
Gu Xingyan followed his eldest brother for a while, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to kill that little bitch Ruan Tian!"
Gu Xingnuo said: "Have you heard everything?"
"I heard about it," Gu Xingyan said, "Xinglang was clearly there that day..."
"Okay," Young Master Gu didn't let Young Master Gu finish his words, "Let's go back home and talk. Is the street a good place to talk?"
Young Master Gu returned home with a lot of lawsuits on his mind, and then he found that his wife and son were waiting for him in the house.
"Why did you move back?" Young Master Gu asked Madam Lin.
Young Master Gu said, "Sister-in-law, please talk to Xingyan later if you have anything to say."
Mrs. Lin didn't dare to say much in front of Gu Xingnuo. After staring at Gu Xingyan deeply, she retreated with little Gu Xu. Gu Xu didn't even have time to call him dad.
Gu Xingnuo took Gu Xingyan back to his study, asked Gu Dong and the other two to guard outside the study, and asked Gu Xingyan to close the door of the study.
"Did something really happen?" After closing the door, the second young master Gu rushed to his eldest brother and asked.
"Sit down," Gu Xingnuo pointed to the empty chair in front of him.
Gu Xingyan said anxiously: "At this time, why do you care whether I sit or stand? What happened? Brother, there are people spreading all kinds of rumors outside. Is Jing Mo really going to marry the princess?"
"This is what happened," Young Master Gu told Young Master Gu what happened. He did not give a brief account but told him every detail.
Gu Xingyan stood first, then sat down on the empty chair.
"Your sister-in-law and your wife don't know," Young Master Gu whispered, "The fewer people who know about this, the better."
Gu Xingyan covered his face.
"Xinglang is fine now, don't worry."
"You're still cheering for him when he's like this?" Young Master Gu suddenly flew into a rage. He jumped up from his chair and shouted, "How could you agree to something like this?! Do you want to force Xing Lang to die?!"
Major General Gu's face darkened and he said, "Sit down. Is this the time for you to get so excited? Can you help Xing Lang by yelling like this?"
The second young master stood in front of the eldest young master, took a deep breath, and said in a cold voice: "So when are you going to kick Xing Lang out of the family?"
