Chapter 462 Isn’t this internal and external troubles?
Does mother also know the reason why she left?
Gu Xiaoxi glanced at her father secretly, and saw him shaking his head, then looked at her mother.
"You often go out to see patients, so I feel at ease when you have the amulet. I went to the temple with Aunt Zhang next door to ask for it this morning." As Chai said this, she handed the amulet to her daughter.
"Thank you, mother. I'll be away for a long time this time, so I'll trouble you at home." After saying this, Gu Xiaoxi hugged her mother, turned around and got on the carriage with Ying San and Ying Si.
The family watched Gu Xiaoxi's carriage disappear on the street before opening the shop and starting business.
After Gu Xiaoxi left, Lao Ting no longer called for going up the mountain.
When the shop was open for business, he asked his servants to bring a chair to the door and take a nap.
It seemed as if suddenly he was tired of the mountains and forests and fell in love with popularity.
…
The carriage ran very fast and soon arrived at the gate of the imperial capital.
Gu Xiaoxi looked at the familiar gate and watched the carriage enter the city. Suddenly, she felt like a mountain was pressing on her back, very heavy, which made her feel uncomfortable and scowl.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Ying San noticed that something was wrong with the young lady.
"I'm fine. From now on, you have to call me Master." Gu Xiaoxi ordered.
"Yes, sir!" Ying San and Ying Si accepted the order.
Gu Xiaoxi lowered the carriage curtain, then entered the space and changed into men's clothes.
Ying San and Ying Si followed the carriage to the inn where their master was staying.
They have changed their appearance, so even old friends can't recognize them if they meet them.
While waiting for the carriage to stop, they saw the young lady dressed as a man getting out of the carriage.
"If outsiders ask me what my name is, tell them that my name is Young Master Ruyi, and I am a disciple of the Shadow Moon Sect, which is a hidden sect." Gu Xiaoxi told them in a low voice.
"I've taken note of it!" Ying San and Ying Si wrote it all down.
Gu Xiaoxi followed the two into the inn and went up to the second floor. The rooms at the back of the second floor were all booked by Ye Lixuan.
However, now only Yingliu is left here, and everyone else has followed Ye Lixuan out.
Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door, and Yingliu asked cautiously, "Who is it?"
"It's me!" Ying San replied with two words.
Hearing it was Ying San's voice, Ying Liu quickly opened the door.
Seeing three people standing at the door in front of him, he guessed that it was Miss Xiaoxi.
"Hello..." He was about to bow but was stopped.
"Let's talk inside!" Gu Xiaoxi said.
"Please come in, sir!" Ying San made a conspicuous gesture of invitation.
Gu Xiaoxi walked into the room, and the three of them closed the door after entering.
After Gu Xiaoxi sat down, Ying San told Ying Liu about Gu Xiaoxi's request.
Ying Liu nodded in understanding: "Don't worry, sir. I'll remember this. Our master is out on business today and probably won't be back soon. Can you take a rest for a while?"
"No, tell me in detail what you have discovered these days." Gu Xiaoxi was not sleepy at all.
Yingliu took a sip of tea and talked about the recent complicated situation.
After hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi was overwhelmed.
How come another Sixth Master appears?
She frowned and asked, "First Prince, Third Master, Fourth Master is gone, Fifth Master, Sixth Master, is there still a Seventh Master?"
"Yes, the Seventh Master is the son of Concubine Zheng, but he is still young, only ten years old, and can't do anything for the time being?" Ying Liu replied to Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi pondered for a while and muttered, "Isn't this internal and external trouble? I have to deal with those bastards of Concubine Yun, and I also have to deal with the brothers around me."
"Young Master, it's actually okay now. They are fighting each other." Ying Liu said.
After hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi fell silent. It seemed that she had to meet with Ye Lixuan to know how she could help.
"You should take a rest. The master usually works at night." Ying San also suggested that the girl take a rest.
Gu Xiaoxi did not object this time and entered a guest room and closed the door.
After closing the door, she entered the space, worked in it, ate something, and went to sleep.
By the evening, Ye Lixuan finally came back. When he learned that Gu Xiaoxi was coming, he asked about the situation on Ying San's side, and then went to see Gu Xiaoxi.
They had dinner together, and after dinner they returned to the room and talked about the situation.
"The third brother has been severely suppressed by the eldest brother recently. Fortunately, I made some preparations in advance. In the past two days, I secretly took action against the eldest brother's forces, and the third brother has finally calmed down a little.
However, after the third brother recovers, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in the dark anymore." Ye Lixuan felt that it was time to step forward.
"Then you stand in the light, and I can stay in the dark, so you don't have to worry so much." Gu Xiaoxi knew that it was absolutely impossible for Ye Lixuan to stand in the dark all the time.
His wicked emperor father won't let him be idle for too long.
Just as the two were discussing how to proceed, someone knocked on the door.
"Master, there is important news." Ying Er's voice came from outside.
Ye Lixuan opened the door and saw Ying Er, who was sweating profusely.
After Ying Er came in, he closed the door and reported a very urgent message to his master: "Master, the imperial edict has arrived."
"Imperial edict?" Ye Lixuan and Gu Xiaoxi uttered two words at the same time.
Ying Er took out the wrapped imperial edict and handed it to his master.
Ye Lixuan opened the imperial edict and read its contents clearly. He couldn't help but curse, "You really treat me like a cow!"
"There's nothing I can do about being treated as a dog. It's because you were born into a good family." Gu Xiaoxi couldn't help laughing beside him.
Why……
Ye Lixuan sighed deeply and told everyone to get ready and return to the palace now.
Gu Xiaoxi followed Ye Lixuan back as Mr. Ruyi.
This time, the emperor gave Ye Lixuan the task of encircling and wiping out the remnants of the imperial mausoleum. Isn't it obvious that he is asking him to clean up the mess made by the eldest prince?
Ye Lixuan took a carriage back to the palace, where a eunuch was waiting to report.
However, before Ye Lixuan returned to the palace, he cut a gash on his arm and pretended to be injured. He wanted to see if that bastard would completely ignore his life or death?
The person who came to the palace was Eunuch He, who was Eunuch Lin’s confidant and a favorite of the emperor.
Seeing the Second Master return home so quickly, my father-in-law and I couldn't help but feel curious.
"Second Master, you are finally back." He walked quickly to greet him.
Walking over and noticing a bandage on the prince's arm, he asked worriedly, "Second Master, you, why are you still injured?"
"Thank you, Eunuch Lin, for taking the trip. Actually, I came back a few days ago. I was seriously injured on the way, and I didn't want to make my third brother worry, so I wanted to recover outside before coming back." Ye Lixuan made up an excuse.
"Then Your Highness, please have a good rest for a few days. I will go back and report to the Emperor!" Seeing that Ye Lixuan's face looked bad, the eunuch was worried that he would not be able to do the things the Emperor had asked him to do. He had to go back and report as soon as possible to avoid delaying the Emperor's important matters.
