Gu Jiu Ge turned around and walked towards the gate, Mu Liang stopped in place for a moment, and then stepped up to follow.

"The day after tomorrow is the day of the royal hunt, and as is customary, you will also be with you." At the gate, Mu Liang paused, looked back at Gu Jiuge and whispered.

"Thank you for the reminder." Gu Jiu Ge thanked him, Mu Liang nodded, and got into the carriage.

Looking at the carriage moving away, the smile on the corner of Gu Jiuge's mouth slowly fell, replaced by a deep one.

Hunt? Isn't it just a hunt?

The corners of Gu Jiuge's mouth were hooked again, and he turned around and entered the house.

The royal hunt has been a grand event that has lasted for two dynasties, and every year in late spring and early summer, Mu Yao will take hundreds of civil and military officials and their families to the royal hunting grounds, where they will hunt for three days. In this way, it is to promote the relationship between the monarch and the minister, and secondly, it can also let Mu Yao see the demeanor of these young talents in the royal city, if there are those who are eyed, they can be cultivated well in the future and used for their own use.

As for the entourage of female dependents, there is naturally a reason.

"Miss, what are you doing with this?" When Hua Chun was packing Gu Jiuge's bags, he caught a glimpse of a set of moon-white men's clothes in his baggage, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Gu Jiuge packed up the clothes, "Naturally, it's useful, clean it up quickly, don't let your father wait for a long time." ”

Hua Chun nodded, and didn't ask any more, she knew that Gu Jiuge must have a reason for doing things.

The master and servant simply cleaned up and prepared to go out, but after a long struggle, Gu Jiuge still turned around and walked back to the room, bringing the dagger hidden under the pillow. This time I went to the hunting ground, but I didn't let her go to the mountains and rivers.

At the gate of the palace, the carriage stopped a street, and all the civil and military officials had arrived, just waiting for Mu Yao and the others to come out and set off.

Gu Jiuge stood beside his carriage with his head bowed, very well-behaved. Suddenly, a smart figure flashed by, and Gu Jiu Ge raised his eyes and saw Xuan Jing running towards Gu Qinglai. She grabbed Gu Qinglai's arm and glanced at Gu Jiuge very provocatively and hatefully.

Last time, Concubine Zhen got Jiang's letter and deliberately detained Gu Jiuge in the palace, but who knew that she was later rescued by Mu Liang. Not only that, Mu Liang also locked the injured Ziyue in the secret room, and it was not until two days later that Concubine Zhen found her. With injuries on her body and two days without food, Ziyue almost lost half of her life.

She is Concubine Zhen's confidant and right-hand man, you must know that it is extremely difficult to cultivate a henchman in this deceitful deep palace, so Concubine Zhen can't wait to sign Gu Jiuge with a thousand knives, and Xuan Jing, who heard this, naturally hates Gu Jiuge very much.

"Miss Gu, what kind of eyes are these? What are you staring at Princess Ben like that? Xuan Jing was angry in her heart, so she could only find fault rudely, looked at Gu Jiuge and asked viciously.

The corners of Gu Jiuge's lips hooked slightly when he heard this, "The princess is a celestial figure, the courtiers can see it, and please don't be surprised." ”

Her words are not revealed, and no one can find anything wrong. Xuan Jing didn't expect her to say this, she was choked by her, and she didn't know what to say.

"Jing'er, don't mess around! Why do you bother to trouble her, as a princess and big sister, you naturally don't dare to choke with you, and later you will only implicate the innocent. Just when Xuan Jing didn't know what to find to get angry, she heard a delicate voice sound, full of grievances.

Gu Qinglai's voice was well grasped, although it would not be heard by the senior officials standing in the front row, but it could ensure that the young ladies around them could hear it clearly.

Her sentence of implicating the innocent really has connotation, and when Xuan Jing heard this, she immediately exploded.

"What does it mean to implicate the innocent? If she has the ability, she will come to this princess, who dare to be angry with her, Gu Jiuge! Xuan Jing shouted and rushed forward, and Gu Qinglai hurriedly reached out to pull her. I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, she rolled up her sleeves during her movements, and the bruised scars on her arms suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing this, everyone exclaimed.

"Second cousin, what's the matter with you? Who would dare to do it to you! She doesn't take Shangshufu in her eyes, or doesn't take my mother Concubine Zhenniang in her eyes! Xuan Jing grabbed Gu Qinglai's hand and said angrily, and before Gu Qinglai could say anything, he turned his head and stared at Gu Jiu Ge viciously.

It seems that these words were said to Gu Jiuge.

Sighing slightly, this Gu Qinglai really didn't have a moment to settle down.

"The second sister behaved badly and violated the family rules, and the injury on her body was punished by my father. Look at the princess, does she want to meddle in the affairs of our prime minister's house, or do you want to punish my father? ”

Gu Jiuge looked at her and said with a chuckle, in the face of everyone's discussion and guidance, she could have turned a blind eye a long time ago.

"Poor behavior? You can tell me what mistake my second cousin has made, if you can't say it, this princess won't spare you today! Xuan Jing pulled out the whip wrapped around her waist, slammed it to the ground, looked at Gu Jiu Ge and said angrily.

The whip kicked up dust, and everyone was stunned when they saw this, and they took a few steps back, for fear that Xuan Jing would be angry and implicate themselves.

Gu Jiuge also took a step back, and pressed the two girls who were about to step forward to protect her behind her.

"Is the princess really confused or pretending to be confused? If you don't know, go back and ask Concubine Zhen, she must know very well why the second sister was punished. Gu Jiuge took a step forward as he spoke, staring at Xuan Jing with cold eyes, and said, "Otherwise, it's okay for the princess to ask the purple moon girl next to her mother." ”

She has already said this, where is Xuan Jing still unclear. It's just that she is trying to find fault today, so how can she care if what Gu Jiuge said is true or not.

"Humph! I think you're used to bullying people on weekdays! Today, this princess will teach you a good lesson on behalf of Gu Xiang, who is illiterate! Xuan Jing said that a sinister look suddenly appeared on her face, and before everyone could react, she had already raised the whip in her hand and whipped it towards Gu Jiuge fiercely.

Gu Jiuge frowned slightly, and he didn't expect her to make a sudden move, this time it was really unavoidable. She quickly backed away, but the whip still fell heavily against her arm.

The light clothes were torn by the whip, revealing the wounds on the white arms, which were shocking.

"Miss!" Huiqiu lost her voice and hurriedly ran forward to hold her in her arms and protect her.

"Your Royal Highness! What mistake did our young lady make that you did at the gate of the palace? Today, even if it is in front of the emperor, we are justified! ”

Seeing the wound on Gu Jiuge's arm, Hua Chun was immediately annoyed, turned to look at Xuan Jing and asked angrily.

"A, you dare to scream in front of this princess! See if I don't tear your mouth! ”

Xuan Jing gritted her teeth and said coldly, her hand whipped down, and waved towards Huachun.

Seeing this, Gu Jiuge's eyes widened, and he took Huachun behind him and took the whip for her.

It's okay to hit her, but it's definitely not okay to hit her!

"Miss! Are you okay? Seeing this, the two girls cried anxiously, "It's all to blame for the slave maid is not good, the slave maid shouldn't be impulsive!" ”

Hua Chun said while checking Gu Jiuge's wounds. She was also angry just now, who knew that there were extraneous branches, which made Gu Jiuge suffer a little more.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, if I were you, I wouldn't mess around at the palace gate. Your status is precious, even if you summoned me into the palace and imprisoned me to be tortured, it is better to look better than to look like a shrew here now! Gu Jiuge sneered and suddenly raised his voice.

Xuan Jing was so angry that she trembled, how could she not hear that Gu Jiuge was deliberately insinuating that Concubine Zhen imprisoned her.

"Hard mouth! You deserve to be beaten! Xuan Jing squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth, and then flicked the whip in her hand.

The people around were all young ladies and ladies who were powerless, even if they sympathized with Gu Jiuge, they didn't dare to rush forward to stop them, not to mention that Xuan Jing was still Mu Yao's favorite little princess, who dared to go against her, wasn't she looking for death?

Seeing that the whip was about to fall on Gu Jiuge's body, at the last moment, a folding fan flew out of the air, which could intercept the whip thrown out by Xuan Jing.

Everyone was frightened by this suddenness, and they all looked back, only to see Mu Liang striding in a dark robe. The folding fan spun half in the air and obediently returned to his hand.

Standing next to him was Mu Yao.

"See the Emperor, His Royal Highness King Liang!"

Everyone hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and Xuan Jing also hurriedly took the whip, and lowered her head a little weakly.

Mu Yao couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw Gu Jiuge's clothes disheveled, and the two girls around him were crying, "What's the matter?" ”

When Hua Chun heard this, he immediately took a step forward and wanted to seek justice for Gu Jiuge, but who knew that Xuan Jing was one step ahead.

"Father! It was Miss Gu who rushed into Erchen in front, and Erchen would teach her a lesson! Afraid that Mu Yao would blame herself, Xuan Jing hurriedly put all the blame on Gu Jiuge. Seeing her face change so quickly, Hua Chun was so angry that her eyes lit up and she gritted her teeth.

"Your Majesty is clear! Lao Chen's daughter is the most well-behaved and polite, and she will never collide with the princess! When Gu Shuyuan heard this, he was distressed and annoyed in his heart, and hurriedly knelt down to look at Mu Yao and explained anxiously.

Gu Jiuge is his daughter, he naturally knows best, she has always been dignified and steady, and will never deliberately provoke trouble, and it is on such an occasion!

"Gu Xiang, what does this mean? When you say this, you are accusing Princess Ben of wrongly blaming her Gu Jiuge? Is it Princess Ben who is vexatious? Xuan Jing was not a person to be messed with, so she immediately refuted it.

"The old minister doesn't dare! It's just that Ge'er has always been steady and generous, and there must be some misunderstanding in this. Gu Shuyuan said coldly, his tone was no longer as patient as Fang Cai. If it was really Gu Jiuge's fault today, he would naturally not stop it, but if someone wanted to deliberately embarrass him, even if the other party was a princess, he would never agree!

Mu Yao's brows furrowed more and more when he heard this, and he glanced up at Gu Jiuge, only to see that although she was injured, her back was still straight, and she stood there quietly, neither shouting grievances nor pain.

"Ah Liang, what do you think?" Mu Yao turned his head to look at Mu Liang and asked in a low voice.
