Gu Xiong did not come alone. At this critical moment, he still had to consider avoiding suspicion.
If someone smells a certain smell, the Gu family will be doomed. He no longer cares about his reputation during his lifetime. As long as his son can keep his life, that's enough.
Gu Xiong was accompanied by the left and right prime ministers.
"Is it really the Crown Prince Dongfeng?" Left Prime Minister Feng Zheng looked at Dongfang Ge in disbelief. "Hey, Mr. Gu, please make no mistake. I've heard that the Crown Prince Dongfang's abilities are not to be underestimated. How could someone press his acupoints and still not be able to undo them?"
"I don't know what happened either." Gu Xiong, through the description of the man who came to his house to ask for his help, guessed that Chang An was most likely responsible. However, Dongfang Ge didn't say anything, so Gu Xiong wouldn't be so foolish as to reveal his granddaughter. "Prince Dongfang, what exactly is going on?"
"Unblock, unblock the acupoints..." Dongfang Ge was so cold that he couldn't speak clearly. His upper and lower lips were trembling, and his whole face was frozen purple.
Today, I'm afraid everyone knows that at ten o'clock in the evening, Dongfang Ge and Chang'an had a long conversation here.
But now, instead of seeing Chang'an, Dongfang Ge has been frozen here for such a long time...
"Prince Dongfang." Lin Shangde asked, "I wonder who treated Prince Dongfang like this."
"Yes." Feng Zhengmin said immediately.
"I often hear about the reputation of the Eastern Crown Prince, how powerful he is.
How did the people who offended the Eastern Crown Prince today…I wonder, is there someone more powerful than the Eastern Crown Prince, or is the Eastern Crown Prince’s reputation over the years just for show?”
"You..." Sui, standing aside, couldn't stand anyone saying anything bad about his master. "It's all because of your Shuzhou Kingdom's Princess Xuan. I don't know what's wrong with you. You pressed my prince's acupuncture points. Is this how you treat guests in your Shuzhou Kingdom?"
"Princess Xuan?" Feng Zhengzheng never expected this.
"Nonsense." Lin Shangde's face was full of anger. "You, little servant, don't speak nonsense. If that's the case, is your prince worse than a woman?"
The follower opened his mouth, glanced at his master, and suddenly dared not speak, especially when he met the warning look in his master's eyes.
I felt more and more that I had ruined my master's business.
Lin Shangde and Feng Zhengmin looked at Gu Xiong at the same time.
Feng Zhengmin said, "General Gu, after all, Princess Xuan is your granddaughter. Why don't we send someone to ask her?"
"Okay." Gu Xiong frowned. He glanced at Dongfang Ge, who was frozen beyond recognition, and felt anxious.
At the gate of Prince Xuan's palace.
The people of the left and right prime ministers and the people of the general's mansion wanted to see each other, but no one was willing to knock on the door, let alone go forward to talk.
The two guards in front of Prince Xuan's palace asked, "What are you doing?"
The guard spoke.
The left and right prime ministers acted in unison and took a step back at the same time. Only the people from the general's mansion stood still, seemingly unaware of anything.
The guard at the gate pointed at him and asked, "Who are you?"
Only then did he realize that he had been tricked by the two of them. "I'm from the General's Mansion and I want to meet my young lady."
It was obvious that the guards didn't know them.
The man from the General's Mansion added, "These two are from the Left and Right Prime Minister's Mansions. We have something to see Prince Xuan and Princess Xuan. Please inform them."
"Hold on."
After a while, the door of the palace opened.
The three were invited into the hall.
The three of them knelt at the same time, "Meet Prince Xuan, choose a princess."
"Get up," Bei Mingxuan said, "Why are you three here at this time? What's the matter?"
In fact, before this, Bei Mingxuan and Chang'an had already learned that General Gu and the left and right prime ministers were rushing to the Lakeside Pavilion.
The person who stood up to answer was still someone from the General's Mansion. He told her about Dongfang Ge being frozen in the lakeside pavilion after being acupunctured. "The old general asked me to ask you, young lady. Is it true what Prince Dongfang said? Did you press his acupuncture points?"
Changan took his time, took a sip of tea, and said, "Yes."
The three of them exchanged glances, and the Left Prime Minister's man spoke up, "In that case, we'll have to trouble Princess Xuan to go and untie Dongfeng Ge's acupuncture points, otherwise he'll freeze to death by the lake."
"What a joke." Chang'an said unconcernedly, "It's none of my business if he's frozen. If he can't untie himself, it only shows that he's incompetent."
"But..." The left prime minister's men looked at Bei Mingxuan with embarrassment.
"This king is henpecked..." Bei Mingxuan looked at the three people with a smile.
This is not henpecked at all, it is clearly indulgence.
The three men were helpless. The left and right prime ministers glanced at the servant in the general's mansion and signaled him to speak.
So, he said, "Miss, you better go, otherwise we won't be able to report to you."
"Whether you complete the task or not is your business." Chang'an said coldly, "Who asked you to take on such a lousy job?"
...crappy things?
Isn't this mess all because of you?
"The Dongfang Crown Prince has a special status. Miss, you should go there."
"If you want me to go, fine!" Chang'an smiled. "Go ask the left and right prime ministers and my grandfather. As long as they resolve the matter of Dongfang Ge stealing my Qilin military talisman, I will go and untie the acupuncture points for Prince Dongfang."
"..." The three of them looked at each other and instantly understood that they were waiting here. "Yes."
"Also. If there really is no one around, it can be solved.
Never move the person, otherwise he will die from the poison.
If it's really cold, you can put on some thick clothes. You can take them off when the time comes."
"Is the time coming?" The three of them suddenly felt a sense of hope in their hearts. "How long do we have to wait?"
"That depends on Prince Dongfang's mood. If he's in a good mood, maybe he can solve it right away. If he's in a bad mood, he might be in trouble tomorrow morning..."
“…”
When the three people turned around, he repeated Chang'an's words exactly.
General Gu also looked at Dongfeng Ge helplessly, thinking to himself that it was a good thing they did not move Dongfang Ge, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
"This..." Feng Zhengmin looked anxious, "What nonsense! Prince Dongfang is a guest. What's the point of fussing over it now?"
In Feng Zhengmin's eyes, it would be better if the Qilin Military Talisman did not exist. That thing might even be a stumbling block for his nephew. Now that it is gone, he is too late to be happy.
"Everything happened for a reason." Lin Shangde certainly understood Feng Zhengmin's thoughts, "You can't blame me now, Princess Hyun."
"So what do you think we should do now?" Feng Zhengmin said angrily. "Are we three old guys supposed to stay here with him in the cold all night?"
