Chapter 649 The Little Ancestor is Finally Leaving the Palace
Beijing suburban post station.
Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Qian Dekun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Dozens of servants followed behind him, all holding their swords at their waists, not even daring to breathe.
In the main hall of the post station, Gu Junze was leisurely rubbing Chu Ruohan's shoulders, ignoring the situation outside that was like facing a powerful enemy.
Qian Dekun waited for a long while, but seeing no movement from inside, he had no choice but to bite the bullet, step forward, and loudly said through the door curtain, "Your humble servant, Qian Dekun, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, has come by His Majesty's oral order to invite the Duke and his wife... back to the palace."
He deliberately emphasized the word "please" and was extremely humble.
After a while, Gu Junze's indifferent voice came from inside.
"knew."
Just these two words, nothing more.
Qian Dekun froze in place, not knowing whether to leave or stay, his face turning purple.
He knew that this gentleman was making trouble, but as the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, how could he have the courage to urge the Duke of Zhenguo?
At the same time, deep inside the imperial palace, Gu Qingchen was under house arrest.
Nanny Qin held a ruler in her hand, her face as gloomy as water.
"Your wrist is raised too high, and your pen is too weak. This is already the tenth page you've wasted today."
She stretched out her ruler and mercilessly tapped the back of Gu Qingchen's hand.
"Sit straight! Keep your back straight, feet together, and keep your eyes straight!"
Gu Qingchen bit his lip, leaving a faint red mark on the back of his fair hand.
It hurts so much. Nanny Qin’s grip is too strong. Even her father has never hit her like this!
The feeling of being watched all the time and not even being able to breathe freely was driving her crazy.
"When eating, the dishes and chopsticks must not make any noise. I have reminded you three times."
"Your skirt swayed too much when you walked, and your manners were completely lost. Please walk again."
"besides……"
“That’s enough!”
Gu Qingchen suddenly threw the brush in his hand onto the table, and ink splashed everywhere.
She jumped down from the chair, tilted her little face upwards, her big eyes burning with anger that had been suppressed for days.
Nanny Qin's expression instantly turned cold: "What are you going to do? Are you trying to disobey the imperial decree?"
"So what if I disobeyed!" Gu Qingchen thought of what Aunt Song had said to her, and her chest straightened and her courage grew.
"Aunt Song said, if you can't bear it any longer, you don't have to bear it anymore! If anyone dares to bully me, I will fight back!"
Before she could finish her words, she pounced on him like an angry little leopard.
Nanny Qin never imagined that this little girl, who usually just threw a tantrum, would actually dare to attack someone.
She was not paying attention for a moment and Gu Qingchen grabbed her legs and pushed her hard.
Nanny Qin staggered and fell backwards, and the back of her head hit the corner of the table with a "bang", and the pain made her eyes go black.
"Ah! Someone's being beaten!"
The palace maids and eunuchs in the hall screamed in fear, and the scene instantly became chaotic.
Gu Qingchen didn't care. He grabbed the inkstone on the table and threw it at the precious porcelain vases without hitting anyone.
“Crackle!”
The crisp sound of shattering never ceased.
Her eyes turned red with anger, and when she saw Nanny Qin struggling to get up, she rushed over and, imitating the moves she had seen in the storybooks, grabbed Nanny Qin's meticulously combed bun and pulled it hard!
"I told you not to control me! I told you not to hit me with a ruler! I told you not to give me meat!"
The dignity and respect that Nanny Qin was so proud of were completely torn to pieces by a seven-year-old child at this moment.
Her scalp was in great pain, her hair was disheveled, her palace dress was stained with ink, and she screamed in panic on the ground.
In the imperial study.
Zhao Yunci had just heard that the prefect of Jingzhao had "invited" Gu Junze, and the ebony carriage was slowly driving towards the palace gate. The heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
But before he could catch his breath, a eunuch rushed in, crawling and tumbling, his voice trembling.
"Your Majesty! This is bad! Nanny Qin... Nanny Qin was beaten by Miss Gu!"
The teacup in Zhao Yunci's hand shook, and the scalding hot tea spilled all over her hands.
"What did you say?"
"She...she beat Nanny Qin until she was bleeding, and she also smashed everything in the palace. Now she's chasing the palace maids and eunuchs around the yard with a ruler..."
Zhao Yunci's head buzzed.
He closed his eyes, as if he had already seen the chaotic scene.
He took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, there was a look of relief and calm on his face.
"Send a message to the guards at the palace gate," the emperor's voice was filled with a hint of relief and fatigue, "tell the Duke of Zhenguo."
"Tell him not to come to see me, just go and pick up his little ancestor!"
"Right now! Immediately!"
This was the scene that Gu Junze and Chu Ruohan saw when their carriage stopped in front of the palace.
The whole yard was in a mess, with broken pieces of porcelain and torn pages of books scattered everywhere.
Nanny Qin had disheveled hair, her face was covered in bruises, and blood was oozing from her forehead. She was being supported by two palace maids, crying inconsolably.
The palace maids and eunuchs who were kneeling on the ground all had pale faces and were trembling.
His family's "little ancestor", Gu Qingchen, was standing majestically on the steps with one hand on his waist and a ruler in the other, his little face flushed with excitement.
But when she met Gu Junze and Chu Ruohan, that arrogance was extinguished in an instant.
The ruler in her hand fell to the ground with a "click", and her little body shrank, and she immediately turned into that well-behaved and sensible daughter.
"Dad...Mom..." she called timidly and lowered her head.
Chu Ruohan felt her temples throbbing as she watched the scene in front of her.
Gu Junze didn't even raise his eyebrows, as if he had expected this to happen.
Just then, a small figure came running from a distance.
"Sister! I can finally come out!"
Qian Zhenyun rushed over with tears and snot. He had just been released from the East Palace and had heard about the "battle record" here, so he rushed over without stopping to join them.
Gu Junze glanced at the two children, then looked at the palace maids kneeling on the ground, and spoke in a flat voice.
"Cheng'an, take the princess and the Qian family boy with you, and let's go back to the mansion."
Gu Qingchen is leaving the palace!
The news spread throughout the palace like wings.
When Gu Junze and his wife walked out of the palace with their two children, all the palace people they passed by felt as if they had survived a disaster.
At the palace gate, several ministers who had just come out of the imperial study were walking out together and happened to run into Gu Junze and his group.
When Minister Wang of the Ministry of War saw Gu Junze, he immediately smiled and bowed, "Duke, you are finally back! If you don't come back, this capital..."
Before he could finish his words, Gu Qingchen, who was hiding behind Chu Ruohan, poked his head out and looked at him curiously.
"Uncle Wang, does your knee still hurt? Did your tigress make you kneel on the washboard again?"
The smile on Minister Wang's face froze instantly.
Beside him, Master Li, who was famous for his many wives and concubines, was twirling his beard and was about to step forward to greet him.
Gu Qingchen turned his gaze to him again and asked innocently, "Grandpa Li, did the seven concubines in your house fight today? You'd better take care of yourself and don't get too angry."
The hand of Master Li that was twisting his beard shook violently, and he almost pulled his beard off.
The one who suffered the most was Lord Shen from the Ministry of Rites, who stood at the end.
When Gu Qingchen saw him, his eyes lit up and he asked in a clear voice: "Uncle Shen! I heard from Shen Yu that you...you..."
She frowned, as if trying to recall a difficult word.
"Oh! That's right! He said you're impotent! Uncle Shen, what does impotence mean? Is it a very powerful official position?"
boom!
Lord Shen's face instantly turned the color of liver. He felt a black screen in front of his eyes and almost fainted on the spot.
The officials around wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. Their faces turned red and they turned their heads away.
Chu Ruohan's face also turned pale.
She pulled her daughter behind her and covered her mouth tightly.
How did her daughter, her naughty but innocent daughter, become like this?
Impotence?
How could these two words come out of a girl's mouth so easily!
She was angry and anxious, and looked up at Gu Junze, but saw that he still had a calm face, but a smile clearly flashed in his deep eyes.
"My Lord, you are back!"
One official finally couldn't help himself and spoke with a sincere look on his face, his tone as if he had seen a savior.
"Yes, yes, if you don't come back, I'm afraid our dynasty will be unable to continue!"
Everyone echoed, looking at Gu Junze with eyes full of eager anticipation.
