As the night deepened, the sky of the capital was covered with dark clouds, blocking out the stars and the moon. However, the rain that Marshal Gu had predicted was brewing in the sky, but not a single drop of rain fell.
Yu Xiaoxiao couldn't sleep that night. After eating and drinking and coaxing the boy, the princess began to think about life. There should be a conspiracy waiting for her. Since the Eternal Life Temple is respected by the six countries and has a supreme status, Wen Fenglin, as a young master, should be able to protect himself. He pretended to be a chaste and brave husband and was snatched by the cruel empress. What this person is plotting, Yu Xiaoxiao doesn't know, but now Wen Fenglin appears again, is this person just coming to Fengtian Capital for tourism?
Yu Xiaoxiao sat up. Gu Xinglang, who was sleeping beside her, was snoring and had fallen asleep. Yu Xiaoxiao touched Gu Xinglang's forehead. Gu Xinglang's fever had subsided. She got out of bed without making any noise. Yu Xiaoxiao decided not to sleep tonight. What should she do if she couldn't figure out the enemy's conspiracy? Instructor Yu's strategy was to eavesdrop on the enemy! No matter what kind of secret it was, as long as she listened carefully, she would be able to find it.
The princess had just married, and it was impossible for a newlywed to prepare black clothes, so Yu Xiaoxiao opened the closet and took out a pure black robe of Gu Xinglang. She rolled up the sleeves and trouser legs, and tied a black belt around her waist. Although the clothes of Gu Sanshao were big, they were not difficult for Yu Xiaoxiao.
Yu Xiaoxiao didn't know how to style her hair like a woman in this world, so she simply tied a ponytail for herself, ran to the bed and took another look at the sleeping Gu Xinglang, then she flashed out of the room.
Gu Xinglang was lying flat on the bed and sleeping. For a general, he looked very well behaved while sleeping. He never danced around or tossed around on the bed. Young Master Gu didn't notice at all that there was one less person beside him.
Yu Xiaoxiao did not walk out of the Gu family's main gate. She casually walked to a courtyard wall, jumped over it and left the Gu Mansion.
When Yu Xiaoxiao climbed over the wall to leave the Gu Mansion, Gu Xingnuo, who was originally asleep, suddenly sat up from the bed. The noise was so loud that it woke up Madam Sun.
"General, what happened?" Mrs. Sun also sat up and asked.
Gu Xingnuo said with an annoyed look: "I remembered that I forgot something."
Madam Sun said, "Forgot something? General, what did you forget?"
Gu Xingnuo said: "We didn't send anyone to call Lao Er back."
Madam Sun was embarrassed and said, "General, you didn't send anyone to inform his second uncle?" What kind of thing is this? The Seventh Prince is fine, and the Second Young Master Gu is still running away with the Little Prince.
Gu Xingnuo put on his clothes and got out of bed, saying, "I'll send someone to look for him right away."
Madam Sun said, "The city gates are all closed now. How are the people we send to leave the city?"
Gu Xingnuo, who was tying the belt around his waist, stopped. At this moment, the gates of the four cities were closed and he couldn't get out of the city. What was the point of sending a letter?
Madam Sun sat on the bed, thinking about it and getting anxious, she said, "If his second uncle really did as he said, and took the Seventh Prince on a journey at night, covering 800 miles a day, where would he be now?"
Gu Xingnuo sat down on the bed again and said with a bitter face, "It's impossible for him to arrive in Wuzhou tomorrow."
Madam Sun said, "Wait until tomorrow morning and send someone on a fast horse to chase him."
Gu Xingnuo nodded, and suddenly asked again: "Why didn't I see my second brother's wife at dinner today?"
Mrs. Sun thought to herself, you just remembered that your sister-in-law didn't go to eat now? "She said she was not feeling well, and she stayed in the room with Xu'er to eat," Mrs. Sun said to Mr. Gu.
Gu Xingnuo said, "Have you asked the doctor to take a look?"
Mrs. Sun sighed, poked her husband's heart with her finger, and said, "She is uncomfortable here, what's the point of calling a doctor?"
Gu Xingnuo shook his head and said, "Little temper."
Madam Sun did not respond to what the eldest young master Gu said. It was no wonder that Mrs. Lin had many complaints about staying in this family. The second young master Gu was the one with the lowest status in the family. At the end of the day, no one, whether old or young, would think of him.
Gu Xingnuo muttered to herself again at this time: "Why didn't the princess think of coming down to see the Seventh Prince?"
Mrs. Sun couldn't agree with what Mr. Gu said. Who knew what Her Royal Highness the Princess was planning?
What is your highness the princess planning?
Yu Xiaoxiao was standing outside the courtyard wall of the Gu Mansion, looking up at the sky and thinking. Where should she go to find Wen Fenglin?
The sound of the night watch at midnight reached Yu Xiaoxiao's ears from far away. She heard the night watchman shouting over and over again, "It's dry, be careful with fire." She tapped the wall behind her with her fingers and decided to go to the palace to look for this person first. The young master of the Eternal Life Temple should be a guest of the tyrant. Yu Xiaoxiao remembered that there was a Buddhist temple in the palace.
What? No outsiders are allowed in the imperial palace at night? Sorry, how could an outsider from the end of the world know this rule?
Just do what you want to do.
Yu Xiaoxiao ran all the way to the Imperial Palace. The security of the Imperial Palace was even stricter at night than during the day, and the lights in front of the palace gate were bright. Under the lights, the armors of the imperial guards reflected the cold light, and if people looked at it for a long time, they would feel dazzled.
A small stone fell from the city wall, and there was a slight "pop" sound.
The general below the city looked up at the tower. The imperial guards on the tower were standing solemnly with their weapons in hand, and there was nothing unusual.
Yu Xiaoxiao jumped down from the tower. She and Nanny Wang had been to the Buddhist temple in the imperial palace several times, so she knew where the temple was. Hiding her body in the darkness, Yu Xiaoxiao ran towards the temple very quickly.
The Buddhist temple in the Fengtian Imperial Palace is called the Jingxiang Hall. At this moment, the eternal lamp in front of the Buddha is still on, but there is no sign that any distinguished guests have stayed there.
Yu Xiaoxiao searched the Jingxiang Hall inside and out. She saw more than a dozen nuns and women with untied hair practicing Buddhism, but she didn't see any monks.
Prediction was wrong. Yu Xiaoxiao stood outside a Buddhist temple, cursing in her heart. Where did the sissy surnamed Wen live? A Buddhist temple in the capital? Oh my god, Yu Xiaoxiao was very upset. She was not familiar with the city she was in. She didn't even know how many Buddhist temples there were in the capital. How could she find one?
In the Buddhist temple, a woman with long hair was kneeling in front of the Buddha, chanting sutras and occasionally hitting a wooden fish.
Yu Xiaoxiao turned around and left the incense burning hall. What kind of spirit was it to chant sutras late at night instead of sleeping? Instructor Yu, who had no religious beliefs, would probably never understand the piety of the believers even if he lived another lifetime.
In the northwest corner of the Imperial Palace, the sound of music reached Yu Xiaoxiao's ears. Having lived in the Imperial Palace before, Yu Xiaoxiao knew without thinking that it must be that the tyrant emperor was living a life of luxury in some beautiful place again.
“Wuwuwu——”
Just as Yu Xiaoxiao was about to leave the palace to find a Buddhist temple in Manjing City, she passed by a room and heard a child crying from a corner in the south of the room. The crying could not distinguish between men and women. Yu Xiaoxiao climbed over the wall and entered the room. The child was a treasure of mankind, so how could she let a treasure cry in the middle of the night?
