"Okay, then I will go to the palace to report." The eunuch was extremely polite to Gu Shangqing.
It would be a pity to let the Turks know that Su Zhier has no predictive ability at all.
Therefore, Gu Shangqing's mission this time was kept confidential, and only a very few people knew about it.
The eunuch naturally didn't know this.
Therefore, the eunuch did not know that Gu Shangqing had made a great contribution this time.
But he knew that Pan Lunchi was extremely polite to Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu.
Who is Pan Lunchi?
He is the chief eunuch beside the saint.
Pan Lunchi understood the saint's mind best.
Pan Lunchi's attitude represents the saint's regard for Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu.
This alone was enough to make the eunuchs in the palace polite to Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu.
Li Mumu and Gu Shangqing got back on the carriage and rushed back home first.
Everyone in the Gu family had already received the letter sent by Li Mumu.
Someone from the freight shop also informed me in time.
So they knew that Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu would arrive in Beijing today, and they were waiting for them at home early.
Originally, everyone in the Gu family wanted to wait at the city gate.
I haven't seen Gu Shangqing for a long time and I'm really worried about him.
But he was stopped by Master Guan.
Master Guan reminded, "General Gu left the capital on a mission this time. He came back after a long time, so he must have gone to the palace to see the emperor. If you go and wait at the door, you will definitely delay General Gu's time."
"The Saint may have sympathized with General Gu and asked him to go home and rest first." Master Guan said, "But it is one thing for the Saint to sympathize with him, and General Gu must also show an attitude of putting the Saint first. General Gu should have told the eunuch that he will go to see the Saint immediately after returning to bathe and change clothes."
Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the saint to go to see him in a dusty and wrinkled dress.
"Then listen to Master Guan." Mother Gu said after hearing this.
Everyone in the Gu family decided to wait at home obediently.
One of the reasons why Master Guan was able to stay in the Gu family was because Gu Xiuxiu, Gu Baiyuan and Gu Baijin were smart and well-behaved.
Another thing is that everyone in the Gu family is able to listen to advice and will not be smart on their own.
Based on this point alone, they will not hold back Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu, and the family will surely prosper.
Master Guan got along well with them and was willing to continue staying in the Gu family.
Therefore, everyone in the Gu family could not help but wait anxiously at home.
Gu Xiuxiu and the other two went to the alley entrance to take a look soon after.
At this time, Gu Xiuxiu and the other two went to the alley entrance again and saw Li Mingyu coming in front of them with a carriage.
When Li Mumu left, Li Mingyu came to pick her up in a carriage.
So the three of them recognized Li Mingyu at a glance.
The three of them hurried home.
As soon as they entered the door, Gu Baiyuan and Gu Baijin shouted in a rush: "Uncle and Aunt are back!"
The adults came out in a hurry and heard Gu Baiyuan say, "We saw their carriage."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a carriage slowly approaching in the alley.
"It's them, it's really them." Wang Cuizhen said excitedly.
The gate was left open, and soon a carriage stopped at the door.
Gu Shangqing came down first, and then helped Li Mumu down.
Because Gu Shangqing's health had not yet recovered, they were not traveling fast along the way.
Gu Shangqing's injuries had healed a lot during the journey, and he looked to be in good condition now.
In order to avoid being too conspicuous outside the courtyard and attracting attention, everyone in the Gu family watched from inside the door. After Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu entered, they quickly closed the door.
"You're finally back!" Mother Gu looked at Gu Shangqing, afraid that he might be injured, so she didn't dare touch him casually, "Are you hurt?"
Although the injury has improved, I still need to take medicine and change the dressing every day. I can't hide it.
"Let's go inside first." Father Gu reminded.
"Yes, yes." Gu's mother hurriedly pulled Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu into the main hall.
As soon as he entered the room, Gu Shangqing knelt down in front of his father and mother, "Dad, Mom, I am an unfilial son and I am sorry to have made you worried."
"I was injured this time, but I'm fine now. Please don't worry, Dad and Mom." Gu Shangqing said.
"I knew you were injured." Mother Gu said with red eyes, "You two always keep it a secret from us. If it wasn't serious, Mu Mu wouldn't be so nervous to look for you."
"My son knows he was wrong." Gu Shangqing said.
Father Gu shook his head and said, "We know. It must be a task assigned to you by the saint."
Li Mumu said she was leaving, and then went to the palace to meet the emperor, and then went to find Gu Shangqing the next day.
Obviously, this matter is related to a saint.
"This is what you should do, if it is wrong, doesn't it mean..." Father Gu didn't say the latter part, doesn't it mean that the saint is wrong?
I have been in Beijing for some time and I know what to say and what not to say. Even in your own home, these words should not be said.
The sage controls the whole world, and even if his ministers say something unacceptable, it can still reach his ears.
"Are you going to see the emperor again?" asked Mother Gu.
"Yes, after we come back and take a bath and change clothes, we will go to the palace to meet the emperor." Gu Shangqing said.
"Then we won't keep you any longer." Mother Gu said hurriedly, "Hurry up and pack your things and go to the palace. Don't let the Saint think you are rude."
"Now that you're back safely, everything is fine." Mother Gu said, "As for the rest, we'll have plenty of time to talk about it slowly when you come back."
Now that Gu Shangqing has returned, his family feels relieved, so naturally, meeting the emperor is more important.
Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu went to bathe and change clothes first, and after they were dressed, they went into the palace.
When Pan Lunchi saw Gu Shangqing outside the imperial study, he smiled and said, "Is Lord Gu recovering well?"
"Thank you for your concern, eunuch. I'm fine now." Gu Shangqing said with a smile.
"General Gu, Lady Xiang, please come in." Eunuch Pan said with a smile.
Judging from Eunuch Pan's reaction, the Saint must be in a good mood.
Eunuch Pan led the two into the study and whispered, "Your Majesty, General Gu and Lord Jia'an are here."
The saint smiled and glanced at Pan Lunchi.
Ever since Pan Lunchi came back, whenever he mentioned Li Mumu, he no longer referred to her as Madam Gu, but only as Lady Jia'an.
This shows that in Pan Lunchi's view, Li Mumu has already broken away from her dependence on her husband in the eyes of the world and has become an independent and capable individual.
It is no longer someone's or someone's, but herself.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu knelt down together.
"Get up quickly." The saint was in a good mood, and ordered Pan Lunchi, "General Gu is still injured, give him a seat."
Gu Shangqing hurriedly said: "My injuries have healed a lot, I dare not be presumptuous in front of the saint."
The saint smiled and said, "Well. Pan Lunchi came back and told me about the injuries you suffered. If Madam Gu hadn't found you in time, you would not have survived."
Gu Shangqing said with emotion: "It is indeed my great fortune that my wife treats me with such deep love and loyalty that I am able to come back to see the saint."
