Now that he was old, this Gu Family would be the Gu Ling Shu who had been called a genius since he was seven years old. Therefore, no matter how angry he was, he could only suppress his anger in front of Gu Ling Shu.

Hearing the Head of the Gu Family's concessions again and again, Gu Ling Hua was a little anxious, and unconsciously revealed it on the surface, "Father, the mistake that Ling Xue has committed this time is no trivial matter. If this gets out, what face will our Gu Family have?"

"Enough!" Gu Ling Shu interrupted Gu Ling Hua's words, and her face was full of pain, "Painting, as an older sister, you should do everything you can to help your younger sister!"

"Big Brother, I also hope that Ling Xue can be safe and sound, but she has committed such a heinous crime, after all, if we do not punish her severely, then it would be difficult for her to go even further than that!" Gu Ling Hua's face was filled with pain, as if she hated the fact that he failed.

Gu Ling Xue leaned on the chair, coldly looking at Gu Ling Hua who was unceasingly acting, her fingers moving around her clothes, and wondered if she should treat this girl who did not know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was.

Just as Gu Ling Shu wanted to refute him, a shout came from outside the house and interrupted him.

"Old. Old. Master. " A servant wearing household clothes ran over, disregarding the solemn atmosphere in the hall, causing the already furious Head of the Gu Family to become even more furious.

"What are you shouting for? Get out!" Head of the Gu Family angrily glared with his eyes red. It's fine if this girl doesn't understand, but people are getting more and more unruly this time.

"No, no, master." The boy who came forward held his knees with one hand, while he panted with the other hand, and said, "You and Eunuch Wen. with an imperial edict outside the door. "

"What?" Hearing the two words "imperial edict", Head of the Gu Family immediately ignored his anger from before and fiercely slapped his chair, instantly jumping up from his chair and scolding, "Quickly let this eunuch in!"

Finished, the Head of the Gu Family brought Gu Ling Hua and the rest and ran out, while Gu Ling Xue slowly stood up and slowly walked out.

An imperial edict?

Gu Ling Xue raised her eyebrows, she wanted to see what tricks the Emperor had up his sleeve.

When he finally reached the door of Gu Family's house, he saw He Wen, who was already waiting at the door.

"Eunuch, please come in." Head of the Gu Family bent down and respectfully bowed towards Eunuch Wen.

"No need." He smiled and waved his hand. Then, someone placed a yellow paper scroll into the hands of He Wen. "Head of the Gu Family is so lucky."

The word "fortune" caused Head of the Gu Family to be at a loss. He asked doubtfully: "What luck?"

He smiled at the doubtful people in front of him, but did not see anyone he wanted to meet. He could not help but ask: "May I know where is the direct daughter of the Gu Family?"

Hearing this, Head of the Gu Family realized that the entire family, other than Gu Ling Xue, was already standing at the door. Head of the Gu Family couldn't help but frown, and berated in a low voice: "Hurry and call Second Miss over!"

The servant who was pointed out immediately turned around and ran towards the main hall, but before he could run a few steps, he saw Gu Ling Xue's figure, and urged him: "Second Miss, hurry up, he and Eunuch Wen want to see you."

Gu Ling Xue looked into the distance, and it was true that everyone's gazes were focused on her. She shrugged helplessly, and continued to walk over with lotus steps.

Head of the Gu Family was afraid that he would neglect He Wen. After all, he was the big red man in front of the Emperor. Just as he wanted to reprimand them, he heard Eunuch Wen's voice.

"Oh, Gu Family is actually so beautiful, much more beautiful than that fairy." "My family is really blind, Emperor's eyes are the best."

When the words came out, it was like a bolt of lightning that struck into the Head of the Gu Family, Gu Ling Xue and Gu Ling Shu's minds, but the thoughts of the three of them were completely different.

Gu Ling Xue only felt that the eunuch's voice was extremely ear-piercing, and she was slightly displeased as she stood behind everyone, "Why are you looking for me?"

"You see, the moment we saw a beauty, we forgot about proper business." He smiled at Eunuch Wen, raised the imperial edict in his hand and said, "Then Second Miss Gu, shall we accept the decree?"

When Head of the Gu Family and the rest heard the two words "accept the decree", they did not care about anything else and quickly kneeled down, waiting for orders. However, after a long time, they still did not hear the order from their father-in-law.

He could not help but raise his head, but there were still two people standing there.

And Eunuch Wen, Gu Ling Xue.

"Gu Ling Xue, kneel down!" Head of the Gu Family could not help but scold him in a low voice.

"Ling Xue." Gu Ling Shu called out.

Gu Ling Xue shot a glance at the two, then looked towards Eunuch Wen and said: "If you have something to say, quickly say it, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."

Eunuch Wen must have also not expected this scene and was stunned in place for a long time.

Although the Emperor had instructed him before on their journey, that was fine if Gu Ling Xue did not kneel when he gave out the decree, but he and Eunuch Wen did not believe that there was actually a woman who had such guts.

After being stunned for a while, seeing that Gu Ling Xue was about to turn around and leave, she hurriedly said to Eunuch Wen: "Second Miss, please wait.

He then quickly opened the yellow scroll in his hand and recited through his eunuch's unique voice: "With the blessing of the heavens, on the Emperor's edict, recite a dance at Gu Ling Xue's palace banquet. We are deeply gratified, and bestowed the position of Princess Yan Yu, meaning that his smile is like the blossoming of a flower, her melodious voice flowed swiftly, and we forgot that Princess Yan Yu has brought us even more happiness.

"Princess Yan Yu, accept the decree." Duke Wen still maintained a gentle smile as he instructed, "The princess' mansion is still under construction. I'll have to trouble you to stay in Gu Family for a few days. The other cases will also be sent to Gu Family within three days. Please do not be anxious, princess."

After passing the imperial edict to the servant by Gu Ling Xue's side, she noticed that Gu Ling Xue was looking at her with an unwelcoming gaze, so she quickly retreated and said: "Then we will take our leave first. Old Master Gu must not neglect our Xilan Princess. "

With that, he and Eunuch Wen did not stay any longer. With a turn of his body, he entered the carriage and left, leaving behind the people of Gu Family who had yet to digest the decree.

Seeing that the show was over, Gu Ling Xue also shrugged and walked back to her courtyard. Head of the Gu Family, who was behind her, looked at her back and opened her mouth, but did not say anything.

Before this, he only dared not offend his own master, but now, there was actually Princess Yan Yu.

Head of the Gu Family could not help but pat his forehead, and said to the people around him: "Disperse." Then, he walked back to the hall alone.

Gu Ling Shu stood where he was and looked at Head of the Gu Family's staggering back, a strange feeling in his heart. He then looked in the direction of Gu Ling Xue's courtyard, and after being stunned for a moment, he walked towards the exquisite little courtyard.

Walking into Gu Ling Xue's courtyard, she tightly embraced Gu Ling Xue in her arms, and asked with a trace of reproach and heartache: "Ling Xue, where have you been all this time? I've been looking for you all this time. "

Once again falling into that familiar embrace, Gu Ling Xue felt that it was a little strange. Her once thick shoulders were now very thin. A hint of sadness flashed past Gu Ling Xue's eyes.

In this world, there was actually someone who regarded her so highly.

"Ling Xue?" Without getting Gu Ling Xue's answer, Gu Ling Shu asked again.

The two words suddenly woke Gu Ling Xue up. That's right, what he missed the most was the dead Gu Ling Xue.

Slowly pushing him away, Gu Ling Xue's slightly warm eyes instantly became frosty. "I'm tired, you can go back now."

"Yes, you just came back and haven't had a good rest. It's time to rest." Not noticing Gu Ling Xue's indifference, Gu Ling Shu just asked, "Then rest, I'll have someone get hot water for you."

Without waiting for Gu Ling Xue's reply, Gu Ling Shu anxiously went out to find a servant. Gu Ling Xue sighed, then laid on the soft couch and closed her eyes to rest.

At this moment, a shadow flashed outside the room.

Gu Ling Xue's originally relaxed body instantly tensed up when she sensed the aura of a stranger, but her face did not change at all, as if she was asleep.

When the black-clothed man outside saw the relaxed Gu Ling Xue in the room, a confident smile flashed past his lips. He raised his hand, placed a wooden pipe in front of his mouth and blew lightly on it.

Just as it was about to reach Gu Ling Xue's neck, the cold light suddenly stopped, turned its peak, and flew towards the black clothed man.

The black-clothed man hastily dodged by a somersault, flying off into the distance. An Ying and An Tian who had been hiding in the darkness immediately gave chase. Gu Ling Xue followed closely behind.

However, the black clothed man was not able to handle Gu Ling Xue and the other two following them. After flying only a few kilometers, he was caught in a wilderness.

"Speak, who sent you?" An exquisite dagger rested against the black clothed man's neck, drawing a bloody line. An Tian guarded the two sides of the black clothed man, tightly grabbing onto the black clothed man's arms, preventing him from moving.

The black clothed man struggled for a while, but realized that it was useless. He slowly quieted down, and looked towards the direction of the Gu Family with eyes full of despair.

Following the black clothed man's gaze, Gu Ling Xue seemed to suddenly understand his intentions. Just as he wanted to ask something, he realized that the black clothed man had already committed suicide.

An Tian angrily kicked the black clothed man to the side, then fiercely kicked him twice before he stood behind Gu Ling Xue. An Ying lowered his body and touched his clothes, his hand suddenly stopping at the black clothed man's chest.

It was an exquisite bag, and on the top of the bag was a large "Gu" character.

Gu Ling Xue took the bag in An Ying's hands and held it tightly in her hands. She looked in the direction of the Gu Family as well, but her eyes were filled with anger.

Gu Ling Hua.

"If a man does not offend me, I do not offend him; if a man offends me, he does not offend me"

I will let him live a life worse than death!

"Master, this ?" An Ying pointed to the black clothed man who had already killed himself, and asked: "What should we do?"

"Throw it up the mountain to feed the dogs." A cold voice rang out. Gu Ling Xue no longer looked at the corpses behind him, and quickly rushed towards Gu Family.

Within the palace, beside the Changsha Pavilion.

A crisp sound of porcelain breaking echoed throughout the dark hall. The black clothed person trembled as he knelt before the empress, not daring to make a sound.
