"Now that I'm an official, it's hard for my aunt to see you." Aunt Hua got up and looked at Xiao Yu'an in front of her, and tears fell down her eyes.

"It's the son who is not filial, auntie, you have to eat well, what should you do if you drag your body down?"

Xiao Yu'an looked at the food on the table next to him, and he didn't have to guess to know that Aunt Hua had been like this all these days recently, not eating on time, and missing her son all day long.

"I can't eat it." After Aunt Hua cleaned the tears on her face, she dragged Xiao Yu'an to sit down.

"Why do you have time to come back today?" Aunt Hua glanced at the maid on the side, and the maid stepped forward to bring down the meal that was already cold.

"There are some things in the court, my grandfather asked me to come back and talk about them." Xiao Yu'an poured a cup of hot tea for Aunt Hua and handed it to Aunt Hua, hiding the matter of going to Jiangling.

Since it was a matter in the court, Aunt Hua didn't ask any more. She is a concubine in a deep mansion compound, and she is not qualified to ask, so this topic ends here.

She took a sip of hot tea, looked at the sky outside that was already out of sight, and smiled lightly, "It's not early, let's go back early." ”

Although she was reluctant, she still had to let Xiao Yu'an go, he was now an official of the imperial court, and it was always inappropriate to stay in a place where a concubine lived.

"Okay, that son will come to see you next time." Xiao Yu'an got up, and only in Le'an Ju did he dare to say that he was Aunt Hua's son.

"Well, let's go, my aunt will take care of herself." Aunt Hua pushed him out of the door and urged him to leave.

Xiao Yu'an turned around and left Le'anju step by step, and after Xiao Yu'an couldn't see his figure, Aunt Hua's tears fell uncontrollably.

Early the next morning, because it really didn't make sense with Gu traitors.

Gu Wanchao decided to go to the palace and beg the emperor to let him go to Jiangling with him.

Gu Wanchao understood the emperor's habits, so he stayed in advance where the emperor often came.

She sat on the swing and looked at the trees full of flowers all around, and she closed her eyes and smelled the flowers, feeling the refreshing scent.

After waiting for about half an hour, the Emperor finally came here, and she ran down from the swing and headed straight for the Emperor.

"The courtier, Gu Wanchao, has seen Your Majesty." She suddenly rushed out and knelt in front of the emperor at once, which startled the palace maids and eunuchs around the emperor.

The emperor looked at the girl kneeling in front of him, and helped her up with a smile.

"Girl, I haven't seen you for a few days, why did you give me such a big fright as soon as we met?"

If she hadn't spoken early. The Emperor was on the verge of making her an assassin.

"Your Majesty, Chao Chao is waiting here today, and I have something to ask Your Majesty." Gu Wanchao looked at the emperor and directly explained his intentions.

"Oh? Tell me, what do you ask me of? ”

As soon as the emperor heard that Gu Wanchao had something to ask for him, he became interested for a while, after all, when the emperor wanted to reward Gu Wanchao in the past, he asked her what she wanted, and she always said that she didn't want anything, but now Gu Wanchao actually took the initiative to beg him.

"Your Majesty, what the courtiers are asking for involves the affairs of the court, this ......"

As he spoke, Gu Wanchao glanced around, suggesting that there were too many people around the emperor, and it was really difficult for him to speak.

"You're waiting here."

The emperor understood what Gu Wanchao meant, and after giving an order, he raised his feet and walked towards the flower-filled forest.

Gu Wanchao hurriedly followed behind.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers ask to go down to Gangneung with their grandfather." After the two of them stayed away from the crowd, Gu Wanchao finally told his purpose.

"Girl, your grandfather went to Jiangling to investigate the case, what are you going to do?"

Because Xiao Yu'an had told him about Gu Wanchao's help in interrogating the salt merchants, the emperor was not too surprised when he heard Gu Wanchao say that he wanted to go down to Jiangling.

"The courtiers naturally knew that their grandfather was here to investigate the case, and the reason why the courtiers made this reluctant request was to find out the truth together, after all, the salt merchant's mouth was pried open by the courtier, and the courtiers could pry open the mouth of this salt merchant, and if they went together, they could also pry open the mouths of other salt merchants."

Gu Wanchao concealed the real reason why she wanted to go to Jiangling, and she made up a reason on the spot.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xiao wanted to get the salt merchant to speak, but he tried his best, but the courtiers did it without using any punishment. The courtiers are bold, if Your Majesty wants to find out who is behind the sale of illicit salt, then to investigate this case, you have to go with the courtiers. ”

Gu Wanchao didn't wait for the emperor to answer, and listed a bunch of benefits for going by himself at once.

Hearing this, the emperor thought for a long time, "Okay, I'll let you go with you." ”

After all, the emperor agreed to Gu Wanchao's request, not because Gu Wanchao said that he had to go, but because the emperor felt that Gu Wanchao was really noisy.

Gu Wanchao naturally heard the emperor's heart, she knelt down a little embarrassed, and shouted, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

At noon, the emperor called Gu traitorous ministers to the palace and informed Gu traitors of the fact that Gu Wanchao would go to Jiangling together.

Although Gu traitor still didn't want Gu Wanchao to go forward, the emperor had already spoken, and the king had no jokes and could not change it.

Subsequently, the emperor ordered someone to make a false identity for the four of them, and gave Gu Traitor a salt guide that could buy a large amount of official salt.

Subsequently, Gu Fu'an, Prince Li Yin, Gu Wanchao, and Xiao Yu'an, the "four ancestors and grandsons" left the capital as merchants in the capital and headed all the way to Jiangling.

This is a long way to Jiangling, Gu Fu'an and Gu Wanchao sat in the carriage, Li Yin and Xiao Yu'an drove horses, and when the sky gradually darkened, the four of them found a place to stay on the road.

This inn is very small, and there are few guests, and there is only one shopkeeper and a serving second.

While eating, suddenly a man with a beard of five big and three thick came in from outside, and he was still carrying a big knife in his hand, which startled the shopkeeper.

"This master, are you sharp, or do you live in a hotel?" The shopkeeper was so frightened that his voice trembled.

"Stay in the hotel and arrange the best room for Lao Tzu." The big man took out a piece of silver from his bosom and put it on the table, and asked for the best room.

This made it difficult for the shopkeeper, he peeked at Gu Traitor's private person who was dining, the best rooms were given to them, where else was there any best room for him.

Seeing that the shopkeeper was not moving, the big man put the knife on the table heavily, which made the shopkeeper tremble.

"Hero, this hero, the shop really has no room anymore, will you just go for one night?" The shopkeeper cautiously proposed.

Hearing this, the big man raised his hand unhappily and threw a pot of wine on the table to the ground, turned around and came towards the four Gu traitors.
