Chapter 155: Be a guest

Gu Du's eyes shot like a wolf, and Li Xia said, "Don't be upset. This matter is very secretive in the palace. Dongfang Buwen is a royal family, but he doesn't know much about it. The emperor didn't know the inside story about this matter. I just thought it was strange, why Xia Lan looked the same as Jin Lan, so he tried to ask."

Gu Du closed his eyes, slowed down for a while before opening it again, the fierce light faded away, and asked softly: "What is your intention to tell me about Jin Lan's life experience?"

Li Xia replied softly: "Xia Lan is different from Jin Lan. Jin Lan is an orphan. She is her climbing up with you. Xia Lan is different. She is both the young master of Jueling Sect and the princess of Zeguo. I am afraid that you will lose your might and be controlled by others."

"I wanted to ask the emperor to posthumously award Jin Lan the title, but I felt that it was too obvious that I did it at this time, so I asked, but I didn't expect the result to be so terrifying. Regardless of whether Jin Lan is a princess or not, at least her background is not low. Don't underestimate her, let alone underestimate yourself."

Gu Dushen sighed deeply and asked softly: "Have you told the emperor?"

Li Xia replied: "I said that the emperor wants to recognize Jin Lan as the princess of Xiaoguo. I stopped him. I think you should marry first. After you get married, you will find out this matter to correct Jin Lan's name so that you will not make Jueling Sect suspicious."

Gu Du sighed and said softly: "It's so troublesome to marry a wife."

Li Xia said softly: "It's different from the past. Brother, don't hold a grudge against the former emperor. Jin Lan might have been born in response to the disaster. If it weren't for such a situation, how could she know you?"

Gu Du sighed and nodded.

After more than two months of hard work, Gu Du and Dongfang Xia Lan became a kinship. After three days of warmth, he hurried back to Huxiao Mountain. Feng Jiu and others were already ready to stop and held another wedding banquet for the two.

One morning, Emperor Ze issued an edict, posthumously named Jin Lan as Princess Xiaoguo, and summoned Gu Du and Dongfang Xia Lan back to the country, and wanted to move Jin Lan's bones into the imperial tomb for burial.

Dongfang Xia Lan didn't say it, but she was obviously unhappy. She was newlywed and her bed was not hot. She was just struggling on the road. What's this called? And she didn't say it early to chase the ban. She was waiting in the imperial city earlier. Why bother to make a round trip?

Gu Du coaxed and served for more than an hour before Dongfang Xia Lan was relieved, and he got up early and returned to Zeguo.

The Guojiu Mansion has been completed. When he came back this time, Gu Du brought Dongfang Xia Lan in, and all the guards were assigned by the palace.

After moving the tomb, Dongfang Bin came to the Guojiu Mansion as a guest. Gu Du ordered someone to set up a family dinner in the flower hall of the Houzhai. After the three of them took their seats, they chatted for a few words. Gu Du asked in a low voice: "San brother, are you going to have something to say?"

Dongfang Xia Lan asked Gu Du: "How did you see it?"

Dongfang Bin also asked with a smile: "Yes, how did you see it? Did I show anything wrong?"

Gu Du replied: "No, but this time I came back, Li Xia actually said she was unwell and didn't see me. In the whole imperial city, we are the only relatives. If Li Xia had something to do, she would naturally ask you to come and tell me the safest. Besides, you didn't come long ago, and you were doing everything right. I came before I left, I must be afraid that I would lose my temper after hearing something and cause trouble."

Dongfang Bin smiled and looked at Dongfang Xia Lan and said, "You are really not the smartest in the family."

"Go!" Dongfang Xialan rolled her eyes.

Gu Du said: "I hold a banquet in the flower hall for the sake of convenience of speaking. It is open and can be seen within a few feet of a glance. There is no need to worry about the partition walls."

Dongfang Bin smiled and said, "I said, I've just arrived in Xingyue and I was sitting outside and eating in the cool breeze. It turns out that you thought of it as soon as I came."

Gu Du smiled and told Dongfang Xia Lan: "No matter what the third brother said, you are not allowed to yell."

Dongfang Xia Lan glared at him, and Dongfang Bin also echoed: "Yes, you are not allowed to shout."

Dongfang Xia Lan stood up and said angrily: "I'll go back to my room, right? It's okay to save you any trouble!"

After saying that, he left, and neither of them called her. Dongfang Xialan walked out not far and turned back, punched Gu Du and sat down with his mouth pouted.

Dongfang Bin told Gu Du that it was not Li Xia who asked him to come, but all the others were guessed correctly. If something happened, it would be a big deal, and Dongfang Bin was afraid that Gu Du would cause trouble.

The Wenzhengsi He Xuzhuo mentioned two things in the court. The first thing was to send a military supervisor to Gu Du, saying it was convenient for contact. The second thing was actually two things related to Li Xia combined, that is, let Li Xia leave the court, not to follow the government with the emperor, and let the emperor choose concubines to enrich the harem.

Dongfang Xia Lan shouted coldly: "I think he has lived enough!"

Dongfang Bin looked at Gu Du, and Gu Du was silent for a while before saying, "There will never be no such person in the court. If one of the surname He is missing, there will be Zhang, Wang, Li, and Zhao jump out."

"This kind of person who uses the family rules of his ancestors and the rules of the court to speak, seems loyal, but in fact he just wants the emperor to do things according to his wishes. Although he does not form a clique for personal gain, he always feels that others have ulterior motives."

"Such people have been called loyal ministers since ancient times, but in fact they are a disaster. They advocate that the emperor has no homes, but in fact they force the emperor to destroy human nature."

"They allowed the emperor to enrich his harem and give birth to princes in case they chose the right successor, and after all, they were planning for themselves and their descendants in the name of the country and the people."

Gu Du looked at Dongfang Bin and asked, "Have you ever seen Li Xia?"

Dongfang Bin shook his head and replied, "She doesn't even see you, how could she meet me? She is afraid that He Xuzhuo will get the handle again."

Gu Du asked again: "What does the emperor say?"

Dongfang Bin replied: "The emperor is not sure about anything, and he even scolded him. The original words are... Is it not your turn to take care of my family affairs. As long as you do your business well and get involved in my family affairs, you are considered an old minister of all three dynasties. Don't rely on your seniority."

Dongfang Xia Lan pouted and said, "The Emperor is very nice to my master."

Dongfang Bin said again: "He Xuzhuo cried in the court and threatened to hit him to die in the hall. The emperor's original words are... He Aiqing, you don't have to do this. If you really want to serve the country with death, then take a knife to fight for the country, the people, and me. Kill a few more enemies, blood splashes on the battlefield, and wrap your horses and bodies, it will not be in vain for your loyalty."

Dongfang Xia Lan clapped her hands and smiled, "Good words!"

Gu Du's expressionless face was that Dongfang Xia Lan was young and simple-minded. In fact, what Emperor Ze said sounded very relieved at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, it was extremely inappropriate.

Emperor Ze was afraid, but he didn't know whether he was afraid of being annoyed by Lixia and not letting him go to bed, or whether he was afraid of provoking him, his uncle, so he raised his arms and wanted to raise an army to clear the king's side.

Dongfang Bin looked at Gu Du and asked, "Brother-in-law, how about it?"

Gu Du replied: "Since the emperor has scolded He Xuzhuo, what else can I do? I will go back to Lingguo tomorrow."
