When Yu Xiaoxiao saw Xianzong’s mouth and body covered in blood, she felt distressed. No matter how bad her father was, he was still her father. “Who hit you?” The princess asked Xianzong angrily.
It was a good thing to be cared for by his daughter, but Yu Xiaoxiao's words made Xianzong blush. Who hit you? When a king of a country was asked such a question, he would lose all his dignity.
Yu Xiaoxiao didn't need Xianzong to answer her. Wen Fenglin was here, so who else could be the murderer?
Gu Xingnuo put Ling on the ground and saluted Xianzong first.
Xianzong waved his hand impatiently and said, "Why haven't you taken them out of the palace yet?" This man asked for permission to enter the palace, and the reason he gave was to take the princess and her husband out of the palace. It has been such a long time, and this family is still staying in the palace!
The imperial physician rushed over at this time and was busy stopping the bleeding of Emperor Xianzong.
Seeing that Yu Xiaoxiao was about to go to Master Fenglin, Gu Xingnuo reached out and grabbed Yu Xiaoxiao, then shook his head at her.
Master Fenglin looked at the person being pressed by the pine tree. He could see Zhao Qiuming was right under the tree, but he couldn't save him now. The Master looked calm, but his heart was not at peace. Zhao Qiuming was injured, and Concubine Li and the pirate must have been rescued. The person who could accomplish this, Master Fenglin looked at Yu Xiaoxiao, and there should be no one else except this person.
Yu Xiaoxiao said to Gu Xingnuo: "He is still looking at me."
Gu Xingnuo brought Yu Xiaoxiao to Gu Xinglang's side and whispered to him, "You should take care of your own wife."
Gu Xinglang looked at the people around him, and seeing that everyone was looking at Xianzong, he quietly reached out and held Yu Xiaoxiao's hand.
Yu Xiaoxiao's hand was held by Gu Xinglang, and she felt better. She asked Gu Xinglang, "Does your head still hurt?"
Gu Xingnuo's ears immediately pricked up.
Gu Xinglang shook his head lightly and said, "It's okay. It doesn't hurt at all."
Yu Xiao: "What about the ankle?"
"It doesn't hurt." Gu Xinglang rubbed the back of Yu Xiaoxiao's hand with his fingers, and asked Yu Xiaoxiao silently, "Where's Xiao Wei?"
Xianzong watched his daughter interact with her son-in-law. He was injured at the moment, but the daughter's reaction was to ask him who hit him, and then she didn't even look at him. The feeling of raising a daughter in vain, others would not understand unless they experienced it themselves. "What happened to my secret guard?" Xianzong asked Gu Xingnuo unhappily.
Gu Xingnuo immediately reported to Emperor Xianzong: "This person wants to assassinate the princess."
When Young Master Gu said this, everyone present was shocked. To assassinate the Princess? Is there such a blind person in the world?
Xianzong looked at his secret guard leader and said, "Is he not crazy?"
At Gu Dashao's signal, Yu Xiaoxiao took out the dagger and said, "Yes, father, he wanted to kill me. This is the evidence."
Xianzong took one look at the green blade and his expression became serious. These were secret guards who only obeyed his orders. How could they try to assassinate his daughter?
"Your Majesty," Gu Xingnuo said at this time, "This man was following the princess and me before. After being discovered by the princess, he attempted to assassinate the princess."
Xianzong frowned and asked, "Following you?"
"Yes," Gu Xingnuo responded.
"Come out," Xianzong shouted to the person beside him.
A secret guard appeared in response, knelt in front of Xianzong, and said, "Your Majesty, Leader Ling is on duty at night."
A secret guard who should have been resting, followed the princess? Xianzong walked up to Ling, unable to believe that the man he grew up with would betray him.
"Your Majesty," Gu Xingnuo said, "There must be a mastermind behind this man. I think you should interrogate him carefully."
"Take him away," Xianzong said in a cold voice, "I will personally interrogate him."
Two more secret guards appeared in the dark area, dragging the unconscious Zero downstairs.
A palace maid ran past two secret guards and was stopped by two palace guards. She knelt on the ground and said to Emperor Xianzong, "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao heard that Prime Minister Zhao was injured. She is worried about her father and would like to ask Your Majesty to allow Concubine Zhao to visit Prime Minister Zhao."
Xianzong was annoyed when he heard Concubine Zhao, but Zhao Qiuming was still trapped under the tree and his life or death was unknown. It would be unreasonable not to let Concubine Zhao take a look. Filial piety is more important than anything else. "Let her come," Xianzong waved to the palace maid.
Yu Xiaoxiao asked Gu Xingnuo in a low voice: "Are you just going to let the matter of the secret guard go?"
Gu Xingnuo said: "Now that we have caught him, there is no need to rush. Let His Majesty judge him."
"Can he do it?" Yu Xiaoxiao has never had much confidence in Xianzong's intelligence.
"Their secret guards have their own way," Gu Xingnuo said with a smile, "Princess, don't worry." This matter concerns the life of Emperor Xianzong himself, and Young Master Gu does not believe that his Majesty will not seriously investigate. Sometimes, even if they say thousands of words, it is not as useful as the results of the emperor's own investigation.
"Then let's go," Gu Xinglang said at this time.
"It's okay, let's wait and see." Gu Xingnuo put on an attitude of wanting to watch a show. Zhao Qiu Ming brought Concubine Li and Xiong Xiong into the palace, and Young Master Fenglin also entered the palace. Young Master Gu didn't believe at all that there was no relationship between these two people.
Concubine Zhao arrived quickly, sitting in a sedan chair. Even from a distance away, her crying voice reached Emperor Xianzong's ears.
Yu Xiaoxiao had sharp eyes and she spotted the girl following Concubine Zhao at a glance, "Erqiu?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked in surprise immediately.
Young Master Fenglin also turned around and saw the third young lady of the Zhao family at a glance. It was difficult for Young Master Fenglin to express the feeling he had at this glance in words.
"Zhao Qiu Ming's youngest daughter," Gu Xinglang also whispered to his eldest brother at this time.
Gu Xingnuo glanced at Miss Zhao San, and immediately walked up to Emperor Xianzong, who was still covering his mouth to endure the pain, and whispered, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Xianzong asked, "What else do you want?"
"The emperor is right there," Concubine Zhao cried hard, but she did not forget to whisper to Zhao Yingqin when they were almost at the intersection: "Just be sad for a while, remember that you are the third daughter of the Zhao family, not a country woman."
Zhao Yingqin replied with a "yes" and walked in the imperial palace. The scenery and palace buildings everywhere made Miss Zhao San so dazzled that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet. She looked helpless and panicked.
Concubine Zhao looked down upon the behavior of this country girl, but she also knew that this beauty's frightened look was exactly what Emperor Xianzong liked. Coupled with the woman's appearance, Concubine Zhao's eyes dimmed for a moment. This woman was indeed very beautiful.
Master Fenglin looked at Miss Zhao San, who was dressed in a plain white dress, with a few pearl hairpins in her black hair, no makeup on her face, and a pale but fair complexion. Master Fenglin finally remembered a sentence his master once said to describe a beautiful woman: thousands of years of poetry and lyrics are all in vain.
Emperor Xianzong had no time to look at Concubine Zhao at this time. His Majesty asked Master Gu impatiently, "You have talked so much to me. What do you want to tell me?"
