Huang Fuhao looked at General Chen, his eyes sharp: "General Chen, let me ask you, you said, if I ascend the throne as emperor, should I make an example of chickens and monkeys?"

General Chen hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Theoretically, that's how it should be."

Huangfu Hao sneered: "In this case, if I don't destroy the Northern Qi Kingdom, how can I show the majesty of my Tang Dynasty?"

"But ......"

"General Chen," Huang Fuhao interrupted General Chen, "Do you think that if I destroy the Northern Qi Kingdom, I will be criticized by the courtiers?"

General Chen was stunned.

Huang Fuhao looked at General Chen: "I won't let them criticize it, after all, this country was originally fought by my father, and I didn't rob my father of the country!"

"Your Majesty!" General Chen knelt excitedly in front of Huang Fuhao.

Huangfu Hao glanced at him and stretched out his hand to help General Chen: "Okay, get up quickly, I know you are loyal and patriotic, but you have to remember that now is not our time, when our forces are strong enough to counterattack back, we will take the Western Xinjiang in one fell swoop, I want everyone in the world to know that the Western Xinjiang is the territory of my Tang Dynasty!"

"The emperor is wise!" General Chen said excitedly.

Huang Fuhao patted General Chen on the shoulder and said, "Let's go back to the palace."

Gu Changning and Gu Tingyu had been away from the capital for four or five days, and since Gu Tingyu returned from Western Xinjiang, he had become extremely silent.

He seemed to be hiding from something.

Gu Changning was reluctant to persecute Gu Tingyu, but Gu Changning also knew that Gu Tingyu would not do this for no reason, and he had to find the reason as soon as possible.

Gu Changning's eyes rolled, and he suddenly thought about it: "Brother Tingyu, I have a way, I'll go find my grandfather!"

Gu Tingyu raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What do you think of?"

"I'm going to see Grandpa!"

Gu Tingyu smiled: "Okay, I'll take you there."

"You take me there, are you going to take me to see my grandfather, or are you going to ......" Gu Changning blinked, "Are you going to take me to see my future husband?"

「…… You're thinking too much."

"Oh, Brother Tingyu, I don't believe it, you must have something to hide from me," Gu Changning hugged Gu Tingyu's arm and coquettishly, "Just tell me, do you have a sister-in-law?"

"Let me tell you, my sister-in-law is very beautiful, and when the two of us stand together, you will definitely like it."

Gu Changning said with great interest.

Gu Tingyu glanced down at her: "Don't make trouble."

"Hmph," Gu Changning wrinkled his nose, "If you don't say it, I will definitely find my sister-in-law anyway, I believe that my brother must also know the news of my sister-in-law," said Gu Changning and ran out.

Gu Tingyu shook his head and smiled: "What a child."

"Lord Wang," the guard reminded beside him, "Miss Gu's status is noble, you can't get used to her like this, in case she becomes arrogant and causes trouble, when the time comes, who will be responsible?"

"I know," Gu Tingyu waved his hand, "Don't worry about her," Gu Tingyu paused, "If she wants to toss, just let her toss."

The guard nodded, and was about to leave, but suddenly paused.

"Lord Wang," the guard hesitated, "During this time, you and Miss Gu ......."

"yes, I know." Gu Tingyu nodded, "She and I have already decided to get engaged."

"Really? Congratulations to the prince!" The guard said immediately.

"Don't tell your mother about this matter first, lest she worry," Gu Tingyu advised, "I only have cold frost in my life, and other women, I don't want to touch them, and I don't want to marry!"

"That...... What should Miss Gu do?"

"I've sent someone to inform her and tell her to leave quickly, I don't want to see her again in my life."

"But Lord Wang, Miss Gu is so good to you, are you willing to do it?"

"Reluctantly," Gu Tingyu said lightly, "But I don't want to lie to her."

"But ......"

"Okay

Yes, I know," Gu Tingyu said, "I know it in my heart."

"But my lord," the guard said, "If you really don't want to deceive Miss Leng, then you should be honest with Miss Gu instead of hiding."

"What if I say and I can't?" Gu Tingyu asked.

"This ......," the guard hesitated.

"I know," Gu Tingyu continued, "I know that my personality is a little stubborn, but I don't want to deceive her, I want her to be happy."

"I hope she can be happy forever," Gu Tingyu looked ahead and said softly, "So I hope she won't blame me."

Gu Tingyu is not afraid that others will blame him, but he is afraid that Lengshuang will misunderstand, he killed her father, she hated him in anger, he was afraid that she would really hate him, so he didn't dare to tell her the truth, that is, I hope that she can be happy.

"I will accompany her," Gu Tingyu said, "I will not let anyone hurt her."

Gu Tingyu held Leng Shuang's hand: "No matter what, I will accompany you, don't worry."

"Okay," Cold Frost nodded happily, "I'll listen to you."

After Leng Shuang returned to the mansion, she went to her yard first, and as soon as she sat at the table, about to take a sip of tea, she saw Mama walk in.

Mama is her nurse, she has never been married in her life, and she has taken care of her until she is twenty-eight years old, although she is three years older than her, but she is still the person she relies on the most.

"Mama, why are you here?" Cold Frost put down the teacup and asked.

Mama looked at her and said, "The slave maid heard that you have gained a lot from going to the Western Xinjiang this time."

Cold Frost smiled, "yes, this time it's really rewarding."

After she finished speaking, she handed the secret letter to Mama: "Mama helped me send it to Jingzhaoyin Mansion."

"This kind of thing, the slave maid is not suitable to go," the grandmother said, "It's better to invite the master to go, the master has a lot to do with Jing Zhaoyin, and the master is also an official of the imperial court, so it is appropriate for him to go."

Gu Changning thought about it and felt that what Mama said made sense, and she didn't want to trouble her father, so she simply called Gu Tingyu.

"Brother Tingyu, you go to Jing Zhaoyin and send the secret letter to your uncle, he will definitely be able to find out the secret of this letter," Leng Shuang said, "Let's not rush, take your time."

Gu Tingyu nodded.

"Okay," Gu Changning said, "I'll go back to the room first, I'll clean up."

Cold Frost bounced back to the house, Gu Tingyu was also very tired these days, so after washing up, he lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.

In the dead of night, there was a knock on the door.

"Lord Wang, have you slept?"

"What's the matter?" Gu Tingyu opened his eyes.

"Lord, you forgot, the emperor asked you to leave for the imperial capital today," the guard said.

Gu Tingyu turned over and got out of bed: "Got it, you can step down."

"Yes."

When Gu Tingyu was dressed neatly, pushed open the door, and found that a carriage had been parked in the courtyard, Gu Tingyu narrowed his eyes slightly, turned around and went back to the house to change clothes.

"Where are you going?"

Gu Tingyu was just about to go out, but was stopped by Cold Frost.

"I'm going to go to the palace," Gu Tingyu said, "You don't have to wait for me to eat, wait until I come back."

Leng Shuang frowned, grabbed Gu Tingyu's sleeve and said, "What are you going to do?"

Gu Tingyu broke free of her arm and walked out: "I'm going to see someone, and I'll be back soon."

Cold Frost stomped her feet and said, "You are not allowed to go!"

Gu Tingyu turned his head to look at her, "What's wrong?"

"You haven't told me yet, what the hell are you going to do?" Leng Shuang asked, "I promised you to go to the Western Xinjiang just so that you could give me a stable life, is this the stable life you gave me?" Do you know how many people will covet you once you return to the imperial capital?"

Gu Tingyu raised his eyebrows, "Are you worried about me?"

"I'm not worried about you," Cold Frost pouted, "You're you, I'm me, I'm just feeling."

Well, if you leave like this, I'll be an orphan without a father or mother again."

"That's not it," Gu Tingyu touched her head, "I told my father a long time ago, and he agreed to let me go to the Western Xinjiang, so I'm just going back to the imperial capital to report to work."

Cold Frost breathed a sigh of relief: "I see, then you be careful on the road, I'm here waiting for you to come back."

Gu Tingyu nodded, "Wait for me to come back."

Gu Tingyu boarded the carriage and went straight to the military camp on the outskirts of the city, he was ordered to patrol the defense, so ordinary people did not dare to stop it, Gu Tingyu arrived at the military camp smoothly and stopped outside a tent.

"Lord Wang, your subordinates have already sent things to that person according to your instructions, and your subordinates will go back now to report it, if the prince has any orders, just give them orders."

"Okay," Gu Tingyu nodded.

"Yes." The subordinate responded.

"Wait." Gu Tingyu stopped him: "Tomorrow night, you go to the Western Suburbs Mountain Villa, and when you get there, remember to hand over this thing to Cold Frost."

"Yes."

After his subordinates left, Gu Tingyu took out a token from his arms,

This is what Gu Changqing left him to save his life, now that he is going to the imperial capital, he doesn't have to take it with him, this token will be handed over to Leng Shuang for safekeeping, I hope she can survive this catastrophe safely.

Gu Tingyu turned around and walked into his tent, he planned to sneak into the queen mother's bedroom at night, find the evidence that the queen mother embezzled the disaster relief silver, and then hand it over to the saint, so that the queen mother must confess her mistakes to the saint and make amends, not only to save the imperial concubine, but also to punish the queen mother, so that she can taste the taste of falling out of favor.

But as soon as Gu Tingyu walked into the tent, he heard a small sound, and he looked over vigilantly: "Who?"

"Brother Tingyu, it's my ......" Cold Frost lifted the curtain and walked in, "I have something to tell you."

Gu Tingyu frowned and said, "What's the matter, tell it."

"Brother Tingyu," Leng Shuang glanced at him and whispered, "Can you not go?"

Gu Tingyu raised his head in surprise, Leng Shuang lowered his head, and bit his lip: "You...... Don't forget, we have a marriage contract now."

Gu Tingyu looked at her for a while, and suddenly smiled, "What are you worried about?"

"I'm ......" Cold Frost's face flushed, "I...... I didn't worry about anything, I just felt that we weren't familiar with each other now, you were leaving, we hadn't confessed our hearts to each other, if you didn't like me, wouldn't I cry to death, I didn't want to marry anyone else in my life except for you."
