Chapter 241 Entering the palace to express gratitude
Gu Yunqing saw someone coming over and pulled Gu Xi to the side. When they were at the side, he lowered his voice and said:
"It's a long story. It was Lord Zhou Qing who saved my father. I came here from the northwest. Your mother was followed by secret guards from the imperial court. I didn't dare show my face. If I was recognized, Lord Zhou would be implicated."
It seems that my father still doesn't know that Zhou Qing was imprisoned by the emperor and then rescued by someone.
Gu Xi said:
"That's easy. Father, come with me."
Walking further away, to a place where there was no one, Gu Xi smeared some paint on Gu Yunqing's face, and then said:
"Father can now walk into the city openly and no one will recognize you."
Gu Yunqing was a little skeptical and took out a small mirror he had bought in Dingxi County and looked at himself.
There was a strange face in the mirror, and he could hardly recognize himself.
"Xier, when did you learn this skill?" Gu Yunqing was shocked.
But after not seeing his daughter for half a year, he found that she had changed a lot.
Not only can he get so many rare goods, but he can also change his appearance.
This child must have suffered a lot, right? Gu Yunqing felt heartbroken.
Gu Xi smiled sweetly:
"On the way to exile, my daughter met a master, and with his guidance, she learned some skills."
It is possible that his family will discover more of his abilities in the future, and Gu Xi will attribute them to the "experts".
Chu Zhao was able to accept that she came from another world, which showed that he was generous. But it was different for the Gu family. What would they think if they knew that she was not their biological child and that the original owner had died long ago?
The modern girl has never felt the love of her parents, so let her be a little selfish here.
The three of them entered the city smoothly. Gu Yunqing felt that his daughter's driver was of extraordinary bearing.
Gu Xi was worried that after her parents reunited, her excuse for deceiving her mother by saying that her grandfather and father were gods in heaven would be exposed.
How to explain it? It was such a daunting question that she didn’t want to go back home.
Chu Zhao drove the carriage with two horses. Gu Yunqing and Gu Xi sat in the carriage together. As they walked, they said:
"I saw that your second uncle and his family also returned to Beijing. Our family is finally reunited. Alas, your grandfather is no longer with us."
"What? Gu Yunze is back too?" Gu Xi in the carriage raised his voice.
"That's right, just follow behind your mother's carriage." Gu Yunqing said.
He was a little surprised at Gu Xi's performance, it seemed that—
Is it anger? And he didn't even call me Second Uncle anymore.
Gu Xi told Gu Yunqing all the evil things that Gu Yunze's family had done, and finally said:
"Luckily I came back in time. If I stayed with them, my mother would definitely suffer. Father, I want to kick the second family out of the Gu Mansion!"
Gu Yunqing was furious when he heard Gu Xi say that his brother and sister-in-law sold his wife and children to human traffickers.
"Old Second is such a bastard. I always thought he was just a bit of a playboy, but I didn't expect him to be so vicious! But I can't reveal my identity now, otherwise I will have to deal with him!"
Gu Xi was relieved. As long as Gu Yunqing was not the kind of person who mindlessly protected his brother and believed that family disgrace should not be made public, she would recognize him as her father.
As for dealing with Gu Yunze, there is no need for daddy to take action.
The carriage stopped at the gate of General Gu's mansion. Gu Xi got off the carriage and walked into the mansion, but was stopped by two servants at the gate.
"Who are you looking for, young lady?" The servant glanced at Gu Xi and asked politely, seeing that she had a good temperament.
Gu Xi took a look at the two of them. The aura of these two people was not like that of ordinary servants. They seemed to be martial artists.
"I am Gu Xi, the eldest daughter of the Gu family. Is my mother back?"
When the two heard that it was a member of the Gu family, they clasped their fists and said respectfully:
"My dear Miss, please forgive us for our poor eyesight and failure to recognize you. Your Madam has just returned home."
Gu Xi walked towards the mansion, and Chu Zhao and Gu Yunqing followed behind.
Seeing the two servants staring at Chu Zhao and Gu Yunqing with sharp eyes, Gu Xi said:
"This is my coachman, and this is the housekeeper I hired. Why? Can't I enter the house?"
Gu Xi glanced at the two servants again. There was no way they were hired by his mother.
The two servants bowed their heads:
"Don't dare."
The three of them entered the mansion, and Chu Zhao lowered his voice and said to Gu Xi:
"These two people should be from the palace."
Chu Zhao was familiar with that aura.
Gu Yunqing also noticed it. He looked at Chu Zhao in surprise. He didn't expect that this coachman was so knowledgeable.
Gu Xi frowned, knowing that the dog emperor was up to no good. He had tricked his mother and the others back to monitor them so that he could control the imperial teacher at the critical moment.
After taking a few steps, they saw Qi coming out with Gu Ping and Gu Yuan.
"mother!"
"Xi'er!" Qi was very happy to see her daughter.
Even though the Northwest was not well-informed, Qi learned from Madam Ren that Xier, disguised as Qi Dasheng, had become the imperial teacher.
Just when I was thinking of finding a reason to meet Xier, I didn't expect Xier to return home in her true appearance.
"Eldest sister!" The two little ones also rushed over and grabbed Gu Xi's hands, one on the left and one on the right.
"Mom, are you getting ready to go out?" Gu Xi asked when he saw Qi dressed up and wearing the imperial robes.
Qi said:
"His Majesty has issued an imperial decree requiring us to return to give your grandfather and father a grand funeral, and he has also specifically requested that our family come to the palace to express his gratitude."
"Thank you?" Gu Xi sneered, "He doesn't know right from wrong and kills loyal officials indiscriminately. Should we thank him for his kindness?"
Qi hurriedly covered Gu Xi's mouth, looked around, and saw that those "housekeepers" were not near, so she lowered her voice and said to Gu Xi:
"Xi'er, don't talk nonsense. When you entered the palace, you saw those servants, right? They were rewards bestowed by His Majesty, a total of ten."
Gu Xi understood, his mother understood too.
Although she was not afraid of the Dog Emperor, Gu Xi decided to keep a low profile for the sake of her family.
As long as the dog emperor doesn't touch her bottom line, she doesn't want to tear her face off.
Qi held Gu Xi's hand and said softly:
"Xi'er, don't be impulsive. Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from heaven. We just returned home. After washing up, we must hurry to the palace to thank the grace. There are spies from the imperial court here, so we can't delay."
Gu Xi said:
"Okay, I'll go to the palace with my mother."
"Sister-in-law, wait, we will go to the palace with you to express our gratitude."
At this moment, Gu Yunze came running over with his wife Li and his daughter Gu Wei. He had already changed into official uniform.
Li and Gu Wei also threw away their beggar-like tattered clothes and changed into the clothes they used to wear in the mansion.
Fortunately, when the house was searched and the people were exiled, no one wanted the worthless things like clothes, so they were thrown in the house. Although they were turned into a mess, they were still wearable.
Gu Yunze had learned from the court secret guards that the emperor was going to hold a grand funeral for his father and elder brother, and he also knew that he had to go to the palace to express his gratitude, so he hurriedly washed up and chased out with his wife and daughter.
As for Gu Chao, it is not appropriate for a bastard's son to enter the palace to meet the emperor.
