Why did he not think that she would have such good intentions? She was the one who was assassinated by him.

At this time, Xi Men Na Lan could not help but regret in his heart, and following that, the begging voice from his mouth did not stop: "It's Gu Ling Xue! Emperor, it must be her! This is her idea. She wants to destroy chenqie, and this is the Great Brilliant Mountain! "

Mu Rong Jing, who had been quietly standing to the side all this time, felt extremely displeased when she saw the empress push all the blame onto Gu Ling Xue at this moment. "Elder sister, little sister, I know that you're worried, but it's not right for you to bite someone like this."

Mu Rong Jing curled her lips in disgust, as she lightly leaned on Mu Rong Hong Yu, and seemingly sighed: "Big Sister Ling Xue is so considerate towards this Emperor, how could she do such a heinous thing?"

Mu Rong Hong Yu's heart originally had a trace of wavering, and even felt that a girl like Gu Ling Xue could do anything. But hearing Mu Rong Jing say this, the doubt in his heart was put down.

However, as far as he knew, Gu Ling Xue and the Empress did not have any connections, so why would the Empress involve her?

"Oh? "Is there any evidence?" With a dignified gaze, he stared straight at the woman kneeling in front of him as his heart was filled with rage.

"Chenqie. "No." The confidence in his tone instantly deepened.

It was all her fault for being so careless, to think that there was no evidence to prove the innocence of the Xi Men Family.

Communicate with the enemy. Treason. This was the crime of extermination!

"Emperor, Emperor, please give the Xi Men Family another chance, let the Xi Men Family step in and help Xilan expel the people from their families."

Mu Rong Hong Yu frowned, after hearing what he said, he lowered his head, his thumb and forefinger tightly pinching his brow, not saying a word for a long time.

Mu Rong Jing was still watching from the side, not a single ripple on her face.

"Someone, come." Her slightly aged voice reverberated within the imperial study, striking hard at Xi Men Na Lan's heart. "Take Empress Xi Men down there and beat her into the cold palace."

With just a short sentence, he had yet to enter the cold palace, but his heart was like an icehouse.

After all, was her destiny finally only a tall wall?

Xi Men Na Lan suddenly fell to the ground, as though his strength was being sucked out of him, and allowed the eunuchs to pull him away.

"Big Brother Yu, don't be angry anymore. The most important thing is to first resolve this matter." Mu Rong Jing reached out his hand, and gently caressed Mu Rong Hong Yu's back, causing it to gradually ease down.

Mu Rong Hong Yu turned to look at Mu Rong Jing, who was standing beside him, and her eyes suddenly filled with gentleness. Her big hands tightly wrapped around Mu Rong Jing's little hands and said: "Sedum, it's great that you're here."

Mu Rong Hong Yu's lips slowly curved upwards as he tightened his grip on Mu Rong Jing. Mu Rong Hong Yu then turned to the eunuch beside him and said: "Men, go find Princess Yan Yu."

Previously, in order to save the Sedum, Mu Rong Hong Yu had bestowed half of his power to her as a princess. Thus, at this moment, if he wanted to use enough troops to defend against the other races, he had to find her.

"Why are you looking for me?"

Just as Mu Rong Hong Yu finished speaking, a fiery red figure rushed in from the corner outside the Imperial Study.

Her originally beautiful face now looked extremely sexy under the wrapping of the fiery red clothes.

Mu Rong Hong Yu's gaze instantly fell on Gu Ling Xue's body, causing him who was standing at the side to be slightly unhappy.

"Brother Yu." Mu Rong Jing couldn't help but remind Yun Che as his tone carried a trace of helplessness and blame.

"Why are you here?" Mu Rong Hong Yu realised that he had lost his composure, he looked at Mu Rong Jing apologetically and asked: "Do you know about the matters at the border?"

"I don't know." Gu Ling Xue sat down on a chair in front of Mu Rong Hong Yu, and replied without hesitation, "What is it?"

The doubtful words and firm tone were indeed as if he did not know about it at all. Mu Rong Hong Yu immediately calmed down.

"There are soldiers causing trouble at the border. We hope that we can send troops to suppress them, so we need your permission." With a slightly sincere tone, Mu Rong Hong Yu carefully explained to Gu Ling Xue.

Gu Ling Xue thoughtfully nodded her head, thought and said: "Sure. However, I heard that the empress's family is also a family of generals, so the Emperor might be able to invite him to lead the troops. "

"Oh? "Why?" Being an Emperor for so many years caused Mu Rong Hong Yu to have a natural wariness that was stronger than others. Even with the empress's previous attempts to frame him, now that Gu Ling Xue was recommending the empress's family, there must be something fishy about it.

"It was only because I had the honor of fighting with General Kai-an that I found out that General Kai-an's martial prowess is truly not bad."

With that said, Mu Rong Hong Yu's hanging heart also relaxed. Then, when he thought of that fellow Xi Men Kaian, a burst of anger rose up in his heart once again.

Hmph, good fighting strength? But not in the head.

"Don't talk about it anymore. It was precisely because of Xi Men that things went so far." Mu Rong Hong Yu helplessly sighed, and explained, "Tell me the truth, this time, the border incident was caused by the Xi Men family betraying the nation, we will definitely not let them off lightly."

Gu Ling Xue nodded her head in understanding, and replied: "Traitor, then you can't be careless, this is the crime of annihilating your entire family."

After that, Gu Ling Xue suddenly sighed again, as though she was unintentionally pressing the last straw of hope for the Xi Men Family: "It's such a pity, General Kai An said that in the entire Xilan, only he could win, then, will no one be able to use him for betraying the nation?"

"Bastard!" Hearing that, Mu Rong Hong Yu's hand slapped on the table, he instantly stood up and accidentally knocked Mu Rong Jing to the side but did not have the time to think about it.

Xi Men Kai An!

You really do not place my Xilan in your eyes!

But from his seat, Gu Ling Xue acted as if nothing had happened and took a sip of tea, waiting for Mu Rong Hong Yu's orders.

"Someone, come!" The teacup in front of the table was ruthlessly thrown to the ground by Mu Rong Hong Yu, with a crisp sound, "Pass down the order, Xi Men will give Bai Ling one to the Xi Men Family, and the Xi Men Family will execute it all!"

The pieces of the tea cup fell to the ground once more, playing out a strange tune, Gu Ling Xue's red lips naturally rose up, her mind suddenly thinking back to the scene at the border.

After luring the warriors of the Xi Men family to the Dark Tower, Gu Ling Xue brought the hundred warriors that the Dark Tower had trusted and immediately rushed to the border to collude with the Rong family members, giving the Xi Men family a shocking gift.

Xi Men Na Lan, you were wrong to trust me so much.

The teacup was put down, the smile on his face was already hidden, Gu Ling Xue looked at the furious Mu Rong Hong Yu and did not say a word.

Her goal had already been achieved, so there was no need for her to continue wasting her breath.

After calming down, Mu Rong Hong Yu recalled the original intention of calling Gu Ling Xue here. After calming down, Mu Rong Hong Yu spoke out: "It's a matter of military authority."

"It's enough for you to decide, you don't need to ask me anymore. After all, I am not the one who is managing this country." Gu Ling Xue glanced at Mu Rong Hong Yu, and then turned and left without saying goodbye.

Finally, he could return to his own little nest to have a good rest.

Thinking about this, the steps beneath his feet became much more relaxed, and very quickly, Gu Ling Xue returned to the Gu Family's courtyard house.

It had been almost a month since he left this time.

The moment Gu Ling Xue stepped into Gu Family's courtyard, she immediately saw Gu Ling Hua once again blocking in front of him, not afraid of death.

The enemy's path was narrow, this was probably what it meant.

Gu Ling Xue was helpless, and could only ask: "Wasn't the previous lesson enough?"

Looking at her delicate and pretty face that looked no different from before, and even a little pale, Gu Ling Xue really felt a little regretful in his heart.

There was actually nothing left on his face.

But, the eyes Gu Ling Hua looked at Gu Ling Xue with, was filled with anger, as if it was blazing with fire.

"Gu Ling Xue! I treat you as my own sister, yet, where did you put me? Her originally high-pitched voice had now become a lot hoarser. It seemed that it was the aftermath of what happened before.

"Aren't you just standing here? You want me to put you where you are?" Helplessly curled his lips, Gu Ling Xue spread out his hands, unwilling to fight with her anymore.

It was truly a waste of time to argue with her.

Having not rested for more than a month, returning to his own little house was the way to go.

Returning to the house, Gu Ling Xue casually threw herself on the bed.

Although this room was as simple and crude as ever, it was the most shabby place out of all the places she had ever stayed in. However, for some reason, Gu Ling Xue felt that only here would he truly be able to rest.

Slowly, Gu Ling Xue entered into slumber.

It wasn't until the morning of the second day that Gu Ling Xue was awoken by the sound of rapid knocking.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Gu Ling Xue subconsciously opened the door, but before he could react, his body was thrown into a warm embrace.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck his mind, and Gu Ling Xue regained consciousness.

He hurriedly pushed the person who was hugging him away. Only now did he realize how familiar that warm embrace from before was.

Gu Ling Xue was startled, but just as she was about to say something, Gu Ling Shu snatched it away.

"Little sister, it's been so long. Where did you go?" The gentle voice made Gu Ling Xue lose for a moment, she suddenly realised, while she was wandering outside and taking the risk, there was still someone else who cared about her.

This feeling was very wonderful.

After a short period of silence, Gu Ling Shu could not help but embrace him again, as though he wanted to tightly bury Gu Ling Xue within his body.

"I'm worried about you."

A soft voice sounded from above Gu Ling Xue's head, causing her heart to suddenly melt for a moment.

Because of Gu Ling Shu's sudden concern, his originally stiff body also eased up. He slowly raised both his hands, and then lightly placed them behind Gu Ling Shu, placing them on Gu Ling Shu's back.
