After Gu Xingnuo walked out of the palace gate, he ordered someone to put Zhao Yingqin into a sedan chair. He turned around and looked at the towering imperial palace tower behind him. After Concubine Hua fell out of favor, who among the three thousand beauties in the harem would be the most favored in the six palaces?
"Young Master," a general of the Imperial Guards walked up to Gu Xingnuo and pointed at the sedan chair not far away and said, "You can set off now."
"Thank you, General Qian," Gu Xingnuo thanked the general politely, climbed onto the horse that the guards had brought for him, and said to his men in a deep voice, "Let's go to Huguo Temple."
General Qian stood aside and watched Gu Xingnuo, dressed in brocade, riding away on horseback. General Qian felt that fate was really something beyond reason. Just a few months ago, Gu Xingnuo was a death row prisoner in the prison, but now he was dressed in brocade and riding a jade horse, the eldest son of the Gu family.
Gu Xingnuo was sitting on his horse with his own thoughts in mind. No matter which woman was favored in the harem, he would definitely protect his younger brother and the princess.
When Young Master Gu brought Zhao Yingqin to the Huguo Temple, it was already afternoon. Mo Wen was standing in a meditation room in the temple, with his hands behind his back, looking at Young Master Fenglin who was lying unconscious on the bed.
A monk walked silently into the meditation room and whispered to Mo Wen, "Master, Gu Xingnuo is here with the daughter of the Zhao family."
"Take him to the guest room in the east courtyard," Mo Wen said to the monk while still looking at Young Master Fenglin.
The monk replied yes and walked out.
When Gu Xingnuo followed the monk to the small courtyard on the east side of the Huguo Temple, Mo Wen had already sat in the guest room before him.
"Master," the monk who led the way said to the closed door, "Gu Xingnuo is here."
"Bring the daughter of Zhao in," Mo Wen said while sitting in the room.
A monk stepped forward and took the still unconscious Zhao Yingqin from the eunuch's hands. He took one look at Miss Zhao San's now frightening face, and held Zhao Yingqin in his hand without changing his expression, and carried her into the room with one hand.
"You guys retreat outside the temple and wait," Gu Xingnuo whispered to the two eunuchs who were carrying Zhao Yingqin over.
Since the two eunuchs entered this small courtyard, they even breathed carefully. When they heard Gu Xingnuo asked them to go out and wait, the two eunuchs were more than happy to do so, and left hurriedly with many thanks.
"Guo, Guo Shi?" After walking out of the courtyard gate, the two eunuchs saw Guo Shi Chengguan standing on the left side of the gate.
Imperial Master Chengguan waved his hand at the two eunuchs who saluted him and whispered, "Let's go to the temple gate."
The two eunuchs dared not say anything more. They bowed their heads and walked away quickly.
Master Chengguan stood outside the gate of the courtyard, looking at Gu Xingnuo who was waiting in the courtyard. His expression was calm, but he felt uneasy inside.
Mo Wen stayed in the room for a long time before asking Gu Xingnuo outside the door, "What's wrong with Zhao's daughter's face?"
Gu Xingnuo said: "She was tortured in the dungeon and her face was disfigured."
Mo Wen laughed and said, "Didn't I say I was here to interrogate her?"
Gu Xingnuo said respectfully: "Someone in the palace executed the person privately. Now the criminal who executed the person privately has been dealt with by the emperor."
"Fengtian," Mo Wen said, his voice devoid of emotion, "This trip to Fengtian really has surprises waiting for me everywhere."
"She is just a sinner," Gu Xingnuo said, "Master, just execute her."
Mo Wen sighed and said, "You and Zhao Qiu Ming have a grudge, so it's natural for you to say something like this."
Gu Xingnuo did not respond to Mo Wen's words this time. He and Zhao Qiu Ming had a grudge, and he did not want to deny it at all.
Mo Wen looked at the girl lying at his feet. Her face looked like a demon. If she didn't die, it seemed that there was nothing to look forward to in this life. "Her facial bones are well-shaped," Mo Wen said to the attendant monk standing beside him. "The skin on her neck is white and flawless. She was a very beautiful girl. What a pity."
The attendant monk remained silent. He had followed Mo Wen for many years and knew that Mo Wen didn't need him to speak at this time.
"I think I can restore this face to its original state," Mo Wen said softly again.
The attendant monk then said, "Master, she hurt the young master."
"Just her?" Mo Wen shook his head and said, "This woman is not even half as good as Yu Linglong."
The attending monk lowered his head again.
"She's just a chess piece," Mo Wen looked at the girl at his feet and said with pity, "She's pitiful. Take her to the Buddhist temple where I'm staying temporarily and take good care of her."
"Yes," the guard monk picked up Miss Zhao San from the ground and walked out.
Gu Xingnuo watched the monk take Zhao Yingqin away from outside the house, then he said to the closed door: "Master."
Mo Wen called out Gu Xingnuo's name and asked, "Yan Ruo, have you been okay these years?"
Gu Xingnuo responded: "Thank you for your concern, Master. I have lived a good life these years."
"You don't complain about being wrongly imprisoned?"
"If the king wants his subjects to die, they must die," Gu Xingnuo whispered, "I dare not complain."
Mo Wen laughed and said, "I dare not, that means you still want to complain."
"Master," Gu Xingnuo asked Mo Wenda at this time, "I want to know about my little brother."
"Gu Xinglang?"
"yes."
"It's just that your mother missed her husband and brought her young son to the temple to beg me."
Gu Xingnuo asked anxiously, "What does my mother want from you?"
"A woman who just lost her husband, what else can she ask me for?" Mo Wen said with a smile in his voice, "Yan Ruo, what do you think she will ask me for?"
Gu Xingnuo slowly knelt down on the steps outside the corridor and whispered, "Master, the dead cannot be resurrected. My mother was just sad and confused for a while."
Mo Wen still smiled, and there was compassion in his laughter.
"Master," Gu Xingnuo said, "My younger brother is only seventeen years old this year, and he just got married and has no children. Master, please let him go."
"Yan Ruo, are you so sure that I will harm Gu Xinglang?"
Gu Xingnuo lowered his head and said nothing.
"It seems that Wuhuan told you something."
"I have never met Imperial Master Wuhuan," Young Master Gu said immediately.
A burst of energy broke open the tightly closed door and struck Gu Xingnuo with the force of thunder.
Gu Xingnuo fell several meters away and collapsed to the ground, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the brick floor in the yard.
When Master Chengguan saw this scene, he wanted to move forward, but in the end he stood where he was and did not enter the courtyard.
"Have you been away from the Eternal Life Temple for so long that you have forgotten the rules of the temple?" Mo Wen asked Gu Xingnuo while sitting in the house. His voice sounded surprisingly gentle, with the unique compassion of a Buddhist practitioner.
Gu Xingnuo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, climbed up, walked to the bottom of the steps, knelt down again, and said: "Master, I was the one who went to the Eternal Life Temple to learn martial arts. I am willing to be a ghost in the Eternal Life Temple. I only ask you to let Xinglang go."
"Are you willing to do anything for Gu Xinglang?" Mo Wenwen.
"Master, please help me," Gu Xingnuo said word by word, covering his chest which was injured by the energy.
"Where is Wuhuan?" Mo Wen walked to the door and stood there, looking at Gu Xingnuo who was kneeling on the steps and asked.
