After showing the news sent back by Mu Yexiao to the two of them, they looked at each other and felt that they still needed to slowly digest this matter.
Gu Xiangning looked at the emperor: "What does the emperor think of this matter? The Bai family is still extremely important to the Great Zhou."
First of all, the Bai family’s ability to taming beasts is very useful to the Great Zhou.
But the premise is that the Bai family must be loyal to the Great Zhou and the royal family. If they have the intention of deceiving the royal family, they will definitely not be allowed to stay.
What's more, behind the Bai family is Grandpa Lu, whose skills are unmatched by ordinary people.
The title of the greatest master in the Great Zhou Dynasty is not earned for nothing. If you want to take action against the Bai family, you should at least consider him.
"It's probably very difficult to investigate the Bai family, especially since the Bai family members have the ability to control beasts. It's impossible to monitor them."
This time, even Gu Xiangning felt a little embarrassed. He touched the back of his head and said, "This really can cause trouble."
The emperor sighed and said, "If this wasn't troublesome, I wouldn't have come to you. Tell me, what should we do?"
Several people were silent. This matter was difficult and they had to ask the people from Mingyue Island to help. If Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao were here, it would be easier to handle.
Unfortunately, these two people are out now and can't come back at all. Gu Xiangning thought about it and said, "I'll send a message back and ask someone to investigate."
"I'm afraid that the Bai family will really betray the court. How should we deal with them?"
If a family like this betrays you, it is useless if you don't kill them all. And it is difficult to even hunt down the people of the Bai family.
The emperor saw that although Gu Xiangning agreed, he still felt a little uncomfortable. Lin Zezhi suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Gu, I remember there are loyal people in the court who know how to use Gu, right? We can put a Gu on Patriarch Bai to test his loyalty."
Would this also hurt people's feelings? If the Bai family was really loyal to him, wouldn't it be too much to do this
He admitted that although he was not a wise ruler, his actions were indeed disheartening.
Gu Xiangning raised his eyebrows: "I think this is a good idea, but how can we be sure that the person who raises the Gu will be loyal?"
Lin Zezhi raised his eyebrows: "It depends on whether the emperor is testing me or really wants to use the poison."
The emperor rolled his eyes and said, "You want me to learn Gu, right? I remember Xiaoman knows a lot about Gu."
In fact, it was all thanks to her that Xiaoman was able to concentrate on studying a lot of things about Gu. If someone could control people with Gu, Xiaoman could also do it.
When Gu Xiangning heard that the emperor was planning to take advantage of Xiaoman, he couldn't help but frowned: "I also have people who raise Gu in Mingyue Island."
The emperor looked at Gu Xiangning in astonishment and said, "I only trust Xiaoman."
Yes! He couldn't trust anyone else. The Bai family's abilities were too extraordinary, so he had to control them in his own hands.
Gu Xiangning looked at the emperor, stepped back and nodded: "Your Majesty, I understand."
After all, she is a member of the royal family. For the sake of the overall situation, she can do it: "Then I will bring her to the palace this afternoon."
The emperor nodded: "Okay, then you can leave."
Lin Zezhi and Gu Xiangning came out of the room together and walked out of the palace. Lin Zezhi looked at Gu Xiangning: "What is Gu Xiangning thinking about?"
Gu Xiangning shook his head: "I'm wondering where to find my wife now."
Lin Zezhi's mouth twitched, and the two separated after leaving the palace. Gu Xiangning thought that his wife should be in the academy now, so he slowly walked towards the academy.
At this time, Xiaoman was dining on the second floor of the restaurant with her maid. When she heard the commotion below, she couldn't help but stand up and walked to the window.
Then I saw a rich young man surrounding a woman and said, "Catch her for me."
When the woman heard this, her face turned ugly: "Do you know who I am? How dare you do this to me? Aren't you afraid that my fiancé will come after you?"
The rich young man sneered: "Oh? Then I want to hear it, who do you think your fiancé is?"
This girl was Ye Moer, who came directly to Kyoto after leaving her hometown. She was originally going to take the Kyoto Medical Female Examination.
But halfway through, she was entangled by this rich young man, who insisted on marrying her. This made her extremely angry, and she escaped for several days, and finally was surrounded here today.
After taking a deep breath, he spoke: "Listen carefully, my fiancé is Madam Gu Xiang's beloved disciple, Jiang Hu."
Xiaoman was originally planning to take action, but after hearing the name Jiang Hu, he was a little dumbfounded.
Didn't his apprentice always follow Beibei? How did a fiancée suddenly appear? Or was she pretending to be him
But now this person has to be saved whether he wants to or not. But it's not the end yet, so we can still wait and see.
Mrs. Gu Xiang's favorite disciple, Jiang Hu. The nobleman was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and looked at Ye Moer.
"Why don't you pick a better person to lie to? Everyone knows that Jiang Hu will be the future Duke of the County. You said you are his fiancé. Are you kidding?"
Ye Moer sneered: "This is impossible. I am Jiang Hu's biological grandfather's chosen wife. This is why I came to Kyoto to find him."
"If you dare to touch me, Jiang Hu will never let you go if he finds out."
Everyone in Kyoto knows that Jiang Hu is the county lord's apprentice and has a noble status. However, no one actually knows what Jiang Hu's family does.
So for a moment, I didn’t know whether what this person named Ye Moer said was true or false.
The rich boy smiled and said, "Oh, then take you back first. When you become my concubine, even if you are Jiang Hu's fiancée, Jiang Hu may not want you. I'm afraid he will still thank me and let me take care of you so that he can become a county lord!"
As he said this, he was about to reach out to grab Ye Moer. Ye Moer waved her hands around, trying to resist, but it seemed useless, and she was soon grabbed by the rich young man.
"Let me go. If you don't let me go, don't blame me for being rude. Help, who of you can go to the Xiangfu and notify Jiang Hu for me."
"When the time comes, Jiang Hu will definitely thank you very much. He and I grew up together as childhood sweethearts."
Childhood sweetheart? Xiaoman was thinking, when she agreed to bring Jiang Hu back, there was no such woman in the village.
The rich kid laughed out loud: "Oh, you are childhood sweethearts, that's even more interesting. Come, I'll kiss you in front of everyone and see if Jiang Hu still wants you, hahaha."
As he said this, he laughed and kissed Ye Moer on the face.
Xiaoman couldn't bear it any longer, so she threw a teacup out of the window, hitting the rich kid directly in the face.
"How dare you, robbing a girl in the street. Who are you from? Tell me your name."
Hearing this, the rich young man looked up and shouted, "Madam Gu, run!"
Xiaoman raised her eyebrows. Well, he is someone who knows me and dares to snatch someone from me. That’s quite interesting.
"Go, tell someone to find these people for me. They are so bold."
The maid nodded immediately and went to ask someone to arrest him. Ye Moer also looked up, then walked directly into the restaurant and walked towards the private room where Xiaoman was.
Xiaoman looked at Ye Moer who came in and raised his eyebrows.
Ye Moer had already spoken, kneeling on the ground and kowtowed to Xiaoman: "Ye Moer greets Master, Master, can I see Jiang Hu?"
This person was truly coming for Jiang Hu. This expression of eagerness to see Jiang Hu made Xiaoman frown.
Could it be that this person was telling the truth? Could this really be Jiang Hu's fiancée
"Your name is Ye Mo'er? Do you know that Jiang Hu is not someone that anyone can easily associate with?"
Ye Moer nodded: "Yes, my name is Ye Moer, but I am not here to get close to Jiang Hu. Jiang Hu and I did have an engagement, and if Jiang Hu cannot fulfill it, I have no objection."
"Mo'er came here just to seek peace of mind from Master. When Jiang Hu comes back, I will cancel the engagement with him."
It sounded so understanding. Xiaoman nodded and said, "Do you have any evidence to prove it?"
Ye Moer took out something, a jade pendant: "This is Brother Jiang Hu's jade pendant, Master should recognize it."
Xiao Man was a little uncomfortable with being called Master by the other person. "You can call me the County Lady or Madam Gu Xiang, but don't call me Master."
The jade pendant that Ye Moer took out was indeed Jiang Hu's. Or was it given to Jiang Hu by her? Could it be that Jiang Hu and this woman really had a relationship
Either there is a real connection, or there is someone behind this woman. No matter which case, this woman should be kept first.
"Yes, County Lord."
Xiaoman nodded, satisfied with the title: "Okay then, you can follow me back home today."
Ye Moer took a deep breath, with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face, causing Xiaoman to look at her sideways: "What? Do you have anything else to say?"
After thinking about it, Ye Moer decided to tell the truth: "Yes, I came to Kyoto, in addition to seeing Jiang Hu, there is another thing, I want to take the assessment of Kyoto female doctors."
The assessment of the Kyoto female doctor, well, is indeed going to start during this period of time.
"Very good, have you signed up? Or do you need to use the power of our Xiangfu to help you take the medical girl examination?"
Ye Moer already knew Xiaoman's character, and she showed her qualifications for the assessment: "I am qualified to participate, and I don't need the power of the Xiangfu."
"It's just that if I want to take the test, I will need to go in and out of the Prime Minister's residence for a long time, so I want to tell the county lady in advance."
So that's how it is. Xiaoman raised his eyebrows: "Okay, no problem."
"Come on, come back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with me first. I will send someone to take care of you later. You can stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion until Jiang Hu comes back. Is that okay?"
