The assassination of the princess was a major event, and the news was immediately reported to the emperor who was just about to go to bed.
The emperor was shocked, and even more shocked by the assassin's identity. He was furious and said, "This is simply outrageous!"
"How is the princess?" At this time, he did not forget to care about Xiao Li.
"Your Majesty, the princess is fine, but the assassin was injured and escaped."
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned his attention to the Marquis of Pingnan's Mansion.
"Come here, pass the order down, surround the Pingnan Marquis Mansion and capture Gu Ling alive!"
This night was destined to be a sleepless night for the Gu family.
Marquis Pingnan was actually innocent because they had no idea what Gu Ling had done and were almost scared to death after being surrounded by the imperial guards.
It was not until the imperial guards wanted to arrest Gu Ling, and Gu Ling was not at home at all, that they realized that it was Gu Ling who caused the trouble.
The entire family of Pingnan Hou was imprisoned, and the whole city was searched for Gu Ling.

It was a rare opportunity for Xiao Li to enter the palace and visit the Empress Dowager. Of course, the Empress Dowager did not give her a good look, so she turned around and went to the Emperor.
Since her royal brother has helped her so much, she naturally has to show gratitude.
When she went there, the emperor was still meeting with ministers and she could not go in for the time being.
Xiao Li's gaze turned and fell on Lou Yan who was standing at the door.
There was a row of eunuchs and guards, but this man was the most conspicuous, and of course, the most terrifying.
"Lou Yan."
Hearing the shout, Lou Yan looked up, and his cold and calm eyes reflected the person in purple clothes with a cute smile.
Xiao Li smiled and waved: "Come here, come here!"
Lou Yan looked at her for a long time without moving. Xiao Li also looked at him with a smile on his face.
Finally, Lou Yan walked over and asked, "Princess, what do you want?"
Xiao Li moved closer, but kept a distance so as not to touch him, and said mysteriously, "I heard from the King of Wei that you are very good at killing people. Do you take private jobs?"
Lou Yan's eyelashes moved slightly, and his calm eyes slowly lowered to look at her.
The princess dared to ask him such a thing. Is she really stupid or does she have other intentions?
"Princess, you are joking. I only do what you command, Your Majesty."
This is rejection.
Xiao Li understood and was very discouraged: "Alas, that Gu Ling wanted to kill me, but I couldn't catch him. It's a pity that he is hiding in the house of my fifth brother. If I wasn't afraid of offending my fifth brother, I would definitely go there and search for him thoroughly."
Just as he finished speaking, the person inside came out. Xiao Li turned around and left Lou Yan behind.
Lou Yan stood there and watched her go in, still caring about what she said.
Gu Ling is hiding in Prince Chen’s Mansion?
What does Princess Xuanyang want to do?
Xiao Li waited for two days but didn't hear any news, but he was not discouraged. It seemed that Lou Yan was not easy to fool, so it was natural that he would not take the bait.
According to the lingering connection between Gu Ling and Liu Xueyin, Xiao Li was 80% sure that Gu Ling would be hiding at Liu Xueyin's residence. After all, he had hidden there when he was injured.
But the problem is that she can't take people to capture Gu Ling. Prince Chen is not dead, and it's not him who has made any mistakes. How can she allow someone to search his house on a false charge?
Besides, Gu Ling can run away. Even if he is hiding there now, he will be gone by the time someone comes to look for him.
Xiao Li thought about it and realized that apart from people like Lou Yan who did shameful things, he really couldn't find anyone else who could deal with Gu Ling for the time being.
If they met on the street that day, Xiao Li just hated Gu Ling's attitude, so he complained to the emperor to warn him.
Then after Gu Ling was about to kill her, she just wanted to kill Gu Ling.
The knife wounds on her quilt and pillow were not fake. If she had been a little unlucky, she would be dead now.
Of course, she didn't want him to live in the first place, it was just that it happened earlier than expected.
This Gu Ling is not a good guy. The original owner was pregnant and couldn't get rid of the pregnancy. Later, she suspected the relationship between Lu Yanzhi and Liu Xueyin, and took revenge on Liu Xueyin crazily, and even hired someone to kill Liu Xueyin.
It seemed like it was almost going to happen, and finally Gu Ling rescued Liu Xueyin. When he learned that she was sent by Princess Xuanyang, he wanted to kill her immediately, but Liu Xueyin stopped him, saying that the princess was pregnant, and even if she was guilty, she couldn't hurt the child.
He rushed to Princess Xuanyang at night, skinned Lan Yue alive in front of her, and told her: You should be glad that you are pregnant, otherwise I would have skinned you alive!
It's simply murderous and heartbreaking!
The original body was frightened by him into premature birth and eventually died of hemorrhage.
No matter how bad the original Princess Xuanyang was, she was forced to that point by someone else. But what about Gu Ling? He is really bad!
As long as it's for Liu Xueyin, he can kill anyone. He is simply a love-brained mad dog.
This scene was not in the original plot, but Xiao Li humiliated Liu Xueyin in public that day. It was normal for him to kill a princess for the one he loved.
Having such a person outside is simply unsettling, especially since she has already taken action against him.
He must die!

"Your Majesty, Princess Xuanyang and Prince Wei are here to visit."
The cold and ruthless Prince Chen's Mansion rarely welcomed two visitors.
"Royal brother!" Xiao Li, dressed in a red dress and with golden branches and jade hairpins, looked noble and beautiful as she walked over, adding a touch of bright color to the solemn and cold Chen Palace.
Xiao Jingyi followed closely, and was not polite or distant to Prince Chen: "Royal brother, what are you doing?"
Xiao Jingyu looked at his younger brother and sister, and his usually frosty face softened a little.
"Why are you here?"
Xiao Jingyi smiled and said, "My sister is here to see my sister-in-law. I'm just passing by. I hope my brother won't be unwelcome."
Xiao Jingyu's eyes darkened slightly, but he still received them.
"You guys chat first, I have something to ask the Emperor's sister-in-law, I'll be there first."
After Xiao Li finished speaking, he grabbed a maid and asked her to lead him to Liu Xueyin's yard.
It's funny that Liu Xueyin, as a princess, did not live with Prince Chen, but lived in the most remote courtyard of the mansion.
If you say that their relationship is not good, Prince Chen comes to sleep with Liu Xueyin from time to time, and he even sleeps with dirty women; but if you say it is good, Liu Xueyin is treated almost the same as other concubines, but Prince Chen turns a blind eye to her, and even the servants in the mansion can give this princess a bad look.
But it was also fortunate that Liu Xueyin was not taken seriously, otherwise how could she hide someone in her house without being discovered?
"Imperial sister-in-law, is the imperial sister-in-law here?"
Xiao Li had no sense of being a guest at all and pushed the door open with utmost arrogance.
"Who, what person?"
There was a sound of panic from someone in the house, as if someone had bumped into something.
Xiao Li barged in with ill intentions, shouting as she walked: "Sister-in-law, it's the princess. I came to talk to you, why didn't you come out to greet me?"
"Princess, you can't go in, you can't..."
Liu Xueyin's maid wanted to stop him, but was held tightly by Hongyue and the others, and could only watch Xiao Li rush around.
Finally, Xiao Li was blocked outside a screen by Liu Xueyin.
Liu Xueyin glared at her unkindly: "What are you doing here?"
