Chapter 145: Forcing the Palace

After Xiao Yu'an woke up, Gu Wanchao's life changed to going to the shelter every day, but every day Xiao Yu'an would wait and send her back to the house, and life seemed to be better.

After repeatedly confirming Gu Wanchao's intentions, Xiao Yu'an finally put his mind at ease, pondered in his heart to invite his grandfather to the Gu family to propose marriage, and returned to the Xiao Mansion after thinking about it.

After thinking for a while, he finally made up his mind to walk towards Xiao Lao's courtyard.

The grievances and grievances of the previous generation Xiao Lao had never mentioned to him, but he could also feel Xiao Lao's attitude towards Gu Shi'an, and at the same time, he was also afraid that Xiao Lao would not agree to this family business, and he was very entangled.

"Greetings to grandfather."

Xiao Lao's courtyard has always been accessible only if it is passed through, and no one is allowed to stay alone in his study, even his grandson, who has been cultivated with all his heart.

"The injuries are all healed."

was copying the original handwriting of a calligraphy master in the previous dynasty, Xiao Yu'an just glanced at it and didn't pay too much attention.

Xiao Lao's calligraphy has almost been practiced to the point of perfection, which can be described as a dragon and snake.

"It's all right, grandfather, don't worry."

Seeing that Xiao Yu'an was still standing in front of him, Xiao Lao put down the pen in his hand and asked suspiciously, "Is there something going on today?" ”

"Yes," Xiao Yu'an replied respectfully, "The grandson is pleased with Miss Gu Wanchao, and I specially want to ask my grandfather to propose marriage to the Gu Mansion for my grandson." ”

Xiao Yu'an is a concubine, he has not been valued in the Xiao family since he was a child, if he is not valued by Xiao Lao, he focuses on training, and now he doesn't know which lady will be abolished, he respects Xiao Lao the most in his heart, and looks forward to Xiao Lao being her witness.

What's more, the Xiao family only has Xiao Laode and is highly respected, and being led by him can also show the importance that the Xiao family attaches to Gu Wanchao.

After listening to this, Xiao Lao was stunned for a moment, and then picked up the brush and continued to practice calligraphy, seemingly without showing emotion on his face, but in fact he kept thinking in his heart.

He understood Xiao Lao's habits, so he didn't bother, and stood quietly aside to polish ink for his grandfather.

The last word of the pen was dropped, and the work was finally copied, and Xiao Lao spit out a "good" word in his mouth.

After thinking about it again, he decided to agree to Xiao Yu'an's request.

"You are the most important grandson of the old man, and now you have the title of the gold list, and you can break out of the world by yourself in the court, and the old man will be relieved to complete the major events in his life."

Now that I think about Xiao Yu'an's efforts to protect Gu Fu'an in the court, it turned out that there was a reason for Gu Wanchao, and he immediately made up his mind.

"The grandson thanked the grandfather."

The dowry was already prepared after Xiao Yu'an realized his feelings for Gu Wanchao, and even if he went directly to the Gu Mansion to propose marriage, he would not be slacking off at all, and he even wanted to rush over.

The two hadn't eaten together for a long time, and they took this opportunity to talk about a lot of things in the court.

Jiang is still old and spicy, there is a certain truth in this sentence, after chatting with Xiao Lao, Xiao Yu'an benefited a lot, and felt a lot more transparent in his heart, but at the same time, he was a little puzzled by his grandfather's more abnormal reaction today, and did not study further.

Just as the grandfather and grandson were playing chess, the housekeeper of the Xiao Mansion knocked on the door and said something in Xiao Lao's ear.

Xiao Yu'an only heard "The old man... Public-class words"

"That's it today, you go back to prepare the dowry, find someone to choose an auspicious day for the zodiac, and the old man will take you to the Gu family to propose."

Seeing Xiao Lao's reaction, Xiao Yu'an knew that it was inconvenient for him to know something, so he retired first.

When he left his grandfather's yard, he passed by a man in black, and after the first two incidents, he is now extremely sensitive to the man in black, and he will not only peek twice.

The man was too thin and small, and he didn't walk like a martial arts practitioner, and the back of his neck was snow-white, but like a woman.

Xiao Yu'an silently wrote down the characteristics of his body, and always felt that this person was not simple.

After the man in black arrived at Xiao Lao's study, he took off the hat on his head, revealing a delicate face, if Xiao Yu'an saw it, he would definitely be even more shocked, this person was actually Li Yu, the eldest princess of the dynasty.

Seeing the visitor, Xiao Lao just glanced at it indifferently, holding white chess in one hand and black chess in the other hand to play against himself.

"Xiao Lao is so big, seeing that Xiao Lao has to come to visit in person, didn't he forget what he promised to the palace before."

Xiao Lao was still silent.

Li Jue seemed to have lost his patience, frowned, and asked, "Why do you want to marry the Gu family?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Lao could be regarded as having a reaction, and the hand that was about to drop the chess piece paused.

"You sent someone to spy on the old man?"

Hearing this, the eldest princess did not answer from Xiao Lao's example, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of provocation.

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to have the ability to plant fine work next to the old man."

"Master Xiao, don't blame the palace for not reminding you, we are now grasshoppers on a rope, what the palace wants to do is the great cause of the society, if you are not worried about interfering with people, how can you know if some people will have two hearts."

"In addition, this palace has arranged the matter, and someone will be sent to inform you of the specific time... During this period, it is best for Mr. Xiao not to make any moths. ”

Put the hat back on in his hand, and leave the Xiao Mansion as if no one had come.

Qingming Festival is approaching

The epidemic was well treated during this period and was basically cured, which can be regarded as a verification of the sentence: "The plague began in heavy snow, was born in the beginning of spring, and died in Qingming." ”

According to custom, on the day of the Qingming Festival, the emperor needs to lead his ministers to the imperial tomb to worship, praying for good weather in the new year and peace for the country and the people.

On the day of the sacrifice, all the officials need to stand in front of the door according to the division of official positions, and Xiao Yu'an follows the ranks of officials to kneel and worship together.

In front of the hall, he was preparing for the soil ceremony, and suddenly a person dressed as a eunuch walked in front of Xiao Yu'an, who was Xiao Yu'an's "eyes".

Shocked when he heard the news he brought, he slowly withdrew from the ranks of officials and quietly walked in front of the emperor to convey the news that Li Jue had been preparing for many years and was going to rebel.

The smile on the emperor's face instantly froze, and when he was about to notify the transfer of troops, there was a commotion in front of the door, and it was Li Yu who had already attacked the front of the palace.

All the soldiers outside the gate were beheaded, a group of officials pushed in front of the emperor, and some civil officials were even more frightened.

"What does the eldest princess want?"

When Xiao Yu'an said the news, the emperor still had a trace of hope in his heart, hoping that something was wrong with the intelligence, and he didn't fully believe it until this moment.

"What do you want, hmph, naturally for the sake of the great cause."

Li Yu understood that the more time he delayed, the more difficult it would be for him to succeed, and he didn't talk nonsense with everyone at the moment, and directly led a heavy army to attack.

"Escortβ€”!"

When Gu Fu'an went out this morning, he listened to Gu Wanchao's reminder, and replaced the palace maids and guards who were engaged in sacrifices in the palace with his own people.

However, due to the urgency of time, the number is far from the number of people brought by the eldest princess.

After receiving the order, they took off their obstructive robes, dressed in strong suits, and embroidered the word "Gu" on their chests.
