230 Grasshoppers on a Rope



Yu Xiao: "Didn't Mo Wen come here alone?"

"Be careful," Gu Xingnuo whispered, "Princess, you must be careful. If possible, let Wuhuan leave the capital now."

Gu Xinglang said somewhat nervously: "Brother, will Mo Wen really kill Wu Huan?"

"You go back home first." Gu Xingnuo looked at Gu Xingnuo and could still smile, and said, "The princess and I will be back soon. Don't tell your grandfather about the palace yet. Wait until I get home to tell you."

"Brother?"

"It's okay," Gu Xingnuo said, "Let's talk when we get home."

"Go home and have a good meal, then have a good sleep," Yu Xiaoxiao said to Gu Xinglang, "I'll bring you something delicious."

"Be obedient," Gu Xingnuo patted Gu Xinglang's leg.

"Princess, Prince Consort, and Young Master," Xiao Wei ran over from the study and went straight to the three of them.

Gu Xingnuo stood up and asked Xiao Wei in a low voice: "Where are Xiong Xiong and the others?"

"In the study," Xiao Wei said, "I hid them. How is it here?"

"You accompany Xinglang out of the palace and go home," Gu Xingnuo patted Xiao Wei's shoulder lightly.

Yu Xiaoxiao tied her belt again, tightened her hair tie, and said, "I'll be leaving first. Xiao Gu, wait for me at home."

"Be careful," all Gu Xinglang could say to his wife now was to be careful.

"Yeah," Yu Xiaoxiao nodded, tapped the ground with her toes, and ran towards the palace gate.

Gu Xinglang watched Yu Xiaoxiao run away, looked down at his feet that were still unable to move, and pursed his lips.

"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone," Gu Xingnuo understood Gu Xinglang's thoughts and consoled him, "The most important thing now is to heal the wound."

"I understand," Gu Xinglang said uninterestedly, "Xiao Wei, let's go to the study."

Xiao Wei saw that something had happened again and didn't dare to ask Gu Xingnuo and Gu Xinglang what to do about Xiaozhuang's matter. He ordered two palace guards to come and lift Gu Xinglang and accompany him to the study.

Gu Xingnuo watched his brother walk away before he ordered the people around him, "Save him first."

The imperial guards began to move trees and rescue people.

"My lords, please go to the imperial study and wait for news from the emperor," Gu Xingnuo said to the ministers present.

The ministers all heard that Emperor Xianzong asked Gu Xingnuo to be in charge, so after hearing Gu Xingnuo's words, none of them spoke and they all went to the imperial study.

The leader of the Imperial Guards walked up to Gu Xingnuo and asked in a low voice, "Master Gu, what should we do with Prime Minister Zhao?"

Gu Xingnuo looked at Zhao Qiu Ming who was still lying on the ground.

The commander said, "Prime Minister Zhao is still unconscious. The imperial physician said his left leg is broken, and the rest of his injuries are minor."

Gu Xingnuo had a hint of sneer on his face. After such a big tree fell, the treacherous prime minister only broke one leg. This was really good luck. "Send Prime Minister Zhao back to the mansion," Gu Xingnuo said.

The commander hesitated and said, "Miss Zhao San committed such a crime, what about Prime Minister Zhao?"

"Since His Majesty has not issued an order, let Prime Minister Zhao recover first," Gu Xingnuo said to the commander with loyalty, "If His Majesty wants to blame me, this is my idea and has nothing to do with you."

The commander bowed to Gu Xingnuo and ordered his men to escort Zhao Qiu Ming out of the palace.

A guard who was familiar with Gu Xingnuo came forward and said, "Empress Zhao is still there."

Gu Xingnuo didn't even look at Concubine Zhao, and said, "We, as ministers, can't interfere in Concubine Zhao's affairs."

The imperial guards said, "It's not good for her to stay there forever, right?" The emperor has left. Is it okay for Concubine Zhao, a concubine, to stay in a place full of foreign men?

"You know it's not good, so you should stop looking there," Gu Xingnuo said with a smile, "Do you want to die?"

The imperial guard coughed dryly and went back to doing what he was doing.

"Your Highness?" A maidservant beside Concubine Zhao couldn't stand it any longer and looked at Concubine Zhao and asked, "Your Highness, are you still going to wait here?"

Concubine Zhao's eyes were lifeless. She was clearly looking at the intersection full of people, but she seemed to see nothing.

"Your Highness," the nanny saw Concubine Zhao's distraught look and had no choice but to say, "We have to go. The emperor has already left."

Concubine Zhao sat in the sedan chair in a daze, and it took her a long time before she raised her hand.

"Go back to Chuqing Palace," the maid hurriedly ordered.

Cui Yu followed the sedan chair trembling with fear. Not only did she fail to stop the eldest princess when she rushed forward, but she also caused the eldest princess to throw the third lady away. After returning to Chuqing Palace, she didn't know whether Concubine Zhao would vent her anger on her.

Yu Xiaoxiao left the palace gate at this time, and looked around. It was a quiet place in front of the palace gate where no outsiders could stay. Yu Xiaoxiao stood there and thought about it. Brother Gu told her to be careful not to be followed by Mo Wen's people, but she didn't know what Mo Wen's people looked like. Were they all monks?

The imperial guards standing in front of the palace gate saw the princess standing there expressionlessly, and the two generals on duty did not dare to step forward to ask about the situation.

Yu Xiaoxiao finally gave up thinking. As long as she could move so fast that no one could see her clearly, it would be fine. It was such a simple thing. After making up her mind, Yu Xiaoxiao exerted force with both feet and ran forward.

The imperial guards in front of the palace gate saw that Her Royal Highness the Princess' body seemed to shake, and then Her Royal Highness the Princess disappeared from their sight.

"Is this a ghost?" a general of the Imperial Guards muttered to his colleagues.

The colleague rubbed his eyes and slapped the general. He said, "How dare you say that the princess is a ghost? You've had enough of your life!"

"You said Xiaozhuang was taken to the Dali Temple?" Gu Xinglang said to Xiao Wei in surprise in a room in the upper study.

Xiao Wei said, "Prince Consort, what should we do?"

The boss sat on the chair and said, "Let's think about how to leave the palace first. Where did the princess go?" This guy can't be relied on at all.

Xiao Wei said, "You are allowed to ask where the princess is going?"

The big boss spread his hands and said, "Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything. Anyway, we are on the same boat now. If I get into trouble, you will have to follow me."

Gu Xinglang glanced at Concubine Li who was sitting next to the head of the family. Li Wan was awake but looked almost unconscious. Her eyeballs did not move for a long time and Gu Xinglang did not know if this young lady had been frightened silly.

Xiao Wei said to Gu Xinglang, "The princess said to pack them up and take them out of the palace, but the princess has left now. If we take the boxes out of the palace, the imperial guards at the gate will check them, right?"

Gu Xinglang nodded. If you take something out of the palace, even if it is a gift from the emperor, the imperial guards will still take a look at it, not to mention that these are not gifts from the emperor.

"This pirate could disguise himself as a eunuch and go out with us," Xiao Wei said, "but Concubine Li has a wound on her face. If she leaves the palace like this, will she be recognized?"

When the boss heard Xiao Wei talking about Li Wan's face, he immediately jumped up and said, "Boy, you can say anything about me, but you better shut up about Miss Li. Do you hear me?"

Xiao Wei sneered and said, "Why, do you still want to fight me?"

The big boss said: "If I shout now, you will have to figure out what will happen to you."

A fierce light flashed in Xiao Wei's eyes, and he drew his knife and put it to the boss's neck. If it weren't for this thief, would they have encountered so many troubles?
