"Princess," just as Yu Xiaoxiao was trying to think of words, Gu Xinglang called Yu Xiaoxiao and shook his head gently. Loving his wife doesn't mean that Master Gu is unfilial to his elders. <>
"Let's go," the master stood up and strode out of the main hall. His old wife didn't like his grandson's wife, but the princess didn't look like someone who would suffer a loss, so the master could leave with peace of mind.
Yu Xiaoxiao followed behind the old man and whispered, "Grandpa, grandma is angry."
The master looked back at the old lady who was still sitting on the chair, and said to Yu Xiao as he walked out: "Are you not angry?"
Yu Xiaoxiao was very confused and asked the master, "Why should I be angry?"
The master lowered his voice and asked, "Princess, will you fight with your grandmother?"
Yu Xiaoxiao was shocked. She was already protecting humans, so how could she beat her own grandmother? "No," Yu Xiaoxiao shook her head at the master, her face was expressionless, but her eyes were confused, and she said, "Don't they say filial piety is the most important thing? Can you beat the elderly here?"
The master said quickly: "Of course you can't fight."
Yu Xiaoxiao was relieved now, this world was not full of beasts.
The master walked out side by side with Yu Xiaoxiao and said, "Your grandmother is old and sometimes her words are not pleasant to the ear. Princess, don't take it to heart. Just treat it as taking care of the old lady."
Yu Xiaoxiao thought about it and didn't think that the old man's words were unpleasant to hear, so she said to the old man: "Don't worry, grandpa, grandma is a very good person."
The master believes that this is definitely not what Yu Xiaoxiao really thinks.
Yu Xiaoxiao thought about it and promised the master: "Even if grandma wants to beat me in the future, I will stand and let her beat me."
The master hurriedly said, "This won't work."
"It doesn't matter," Yu Xiaoxiao patted her chest and said, "She can't hurt me anyway."
Master..., this is the truth, Master believes it.
The master and Yu Xiao went out while talking. The old lady was still sitting in the main hall. She looked at Gu Xinglang with a gaze as sharp as a knife and said, "You are going to piss me off to death!"
Gu Xinglang bowed to the old lady and said, "Grandma, the princess must not have done it on purpose."
The old lady sneered and said, "The princess is so high and mighty that she doesn't even bother to know the maiden name of my wife."
"grandmother……"
"Royal Princess, may I know your family name?" The old lady asked Gu Xinglang again without waiting for him to speak.
Gu Xinglang really felt that maybe his wife had never read his family name.
Seeing Gu Xinglang lower his head and keep silent, the old lady felt that she had forced her grandson into silence, and she became even angrier. In the old lady's view, no matter how wrong the matter was, it could not be Gu Xinglang's fault. It was Yu Xiaoxiao who was domineering and unreasonable. Thinking that her grandson would have to live with Yu Xiaoxiao, a domineering and ignorant princess, for the rest of his life, the old lady was worried about Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xingnuo sighed. He would never understand the woman's mind. The princess saved the lives of their Gu family, so why did his grandmother dislike the princess? "Let's go," said Young Master Gu to Gu Xingyan who was still standing.
The family then walked out together.
Gu Xingyan got on the horse and said to Yu Xiao while sitting on it: "Princess, I will wait for you and Xinglang at Wangxiang Pass."
"Okay," Yu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Second brother, we have made this decision happily."
Gu Xingyan laughed out loud, whipped his horse and headed north on the street.
Gu Xingnuo said to the old lady, "Grandma, I'll go see them off."
The old lady nodded, and the separation really happened. The old lady felt sad and looked at the master and said in a trembling voice: "Take care of yourself." There are no mercy on the battlefield. Who knows whether the person who is supposed to be with her will return safely after this separation?
The master waved his hand at the old woman and said, "Take care of yourself too."
"Set off!"
Following the order from the household general, the travelling team left the Gu Mansion and headed towards the north of the city.
Yu Xiaoxiao put her hand on Gu Xinglang's shoulder and whispered, "Don't be sad. We will see grandpa and my second brother again soon."
Gu Xinglang looked at the direction where his grandfather and second brother were going away, and held Yu Xiaoxiao's hand.
As soon as Gu Xingnuo sent his master and Gu Xingyan out of the northern city of Fengjing, officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War were ordered to leave the city to escort the grandparents and grandchildren of the Gu family out of Beijing. There were also officials from the Ministry of Revenue who brought a lot of food and fodder, as well as the silver allocated by Emperor Xianzong overnight, waiting outside the city, to deliver all of them to the grandparents and grandchildren of the Gu family.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the master was talking to the officials, Gu Xingnuo whispered to Gu Xingyan: "You also know about the Eternal Life Temple. When you arrive at the township, be careful of the Eternal Life Temple."
Gu Xingyan said: "I understand."
"I will go to Xiangguan after my injury gets better," Gu Xingnuo said, "Before I go, no matter what happens, don't act rashly."
Gu Xingyan said seriously: "Brother, what if the enemy soldiers come to attack?"
"Then you must convince grandfather to defend the city and stay in seclusion," Gu Xingnuo instructed his brother, "Remember my words, no matter what happens, you must endure it. We are seeking stability now."
"Okay," Gu Xingyan said, "Brother, forget about this matter. I will wait for you, Xinglang and the princess in Xiangguan."
"Be careful."
"Aiya," Young Master Gu laughed at his elder brother and said, "Brother, this is not my first time to go to Xiangguan, why are you so nervous? I am not the kind of person who doesn't know what is good for me or what is not. Don't worry, I will accept it even if I have to endure it like a turtle this time."
"Stinky brat!" The second young master Gu called out to the young master, which made the eldest young master laugh. After slapping the second young master, the eldest young master Gu pointed at the second young master and said, "Don't say such dirty words in the future."
"Don't say it," Gu Xingyan said with a smile, "Brother, just smile. You guys have gloomy faces every day. The sky hasn't fallen yet. Can a living person die from holding his urine? When an enemy comes, we will fight back. What are you afraid of?"
Gu Xingnuo looked at the smile on Gu Xingyan's face. He envied the second brother's ignorance. "Anyway, be careful," the eldest master Gu warned his brother again.
Everyone stood outside the North City, drank the farewell wine, and watched the master, Young Master Gu and his party ride away on horseback.
"Master Gu," a general of the Imperial Guards walked up to the carriage where Gu Xingnuo was sitting when he was about to return to the city, and whispered, "The emperor has ordered you to see him off and then go to the palace to see him."
Gu Xingnuo received the order and followed the general of the imperial guards into the city and walked towards the imperial palace.
The officials looked at the direction where Young Master Gu's carriage was heading, and some shook their heads and sighed. Now that the Zhao family has been defeated, the Gu family is becoming more and more powerful.
Gu Xinglang and Yu Xiaoxiao sat in front of Master Chengguan's bed. Gu Shao asked Master Chengguan, "Master, why did you seal my five senses? Can you tell me now?"
