Although Changsun Wugou was overwhelmed by Gao Xiuer's repeated accusations, he soon returned to normal, bowed his head and said, "I only ask for your mother's favor, take me into the palace, and meet the emperor. The emperor has no grudges, wait until we see you." Your Majesty, you have your own judgment!"

Seeing that her attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, Gao Xiu'er was a little surprised. After thinking for a while, she said: "It's fine to bring you into the palace. But if the emperor doesn't hold grudges, what should you do?"

The eldest grandson Wugou raised his head, with a firm expression on his face, he said loudly: "If this servant has misunderstood the emperor, I should die to thank the world! However, this matter is only the idea of ​​this servant, and I hope that your mother will spare this servant's family!"

Gao Xiu'er shook her head, and said: "The emperor has already made a strict decree to abolish the punishment of implicating the nine clans, you don't need to worry about that." He also said: "The emperor is a benevolent person, even if you misunderstood the emperor and let the matter go That is, why die? Although I hate your elder brother, but you are you, I will not embarrass you, let alone take your life. It is getting late, if you want to enter the palace, you can go with me."

Just now when Gao Xiu'er reprimanded her eldest grandson Wuji, she was indeed stern and inwardly soft, which made people chill.But at this time Gao Xiu'er seemed to be reasonable, which made the eldest grandson Wugou have to obey.But even so, she still wanted to see Liu Ziqiu without hesitation, so she bowed and said, "Please wait a moment, my maidservant, and I will come as soon as I pick up something."

Gao Xiu'er didn't urge her, she nodded and said: "Ben Gong and Gen'er are waiting for you outside the gate of the house!"

As Gao Xiu'er and Liu Sigen stepped out of the gate of the Gao Mansion, there were bursts of sound breaking through the air from inside and outside the Gao Mansion, and dozens of figures flew out.Changsun Wuji was taken aback, he hastily pulled out his saber, and rushed out of the house, only to see that those well-dressed men had already formed a circle around Gao Xiuer's mother and daughter, protecting them in the middle.It was only now that Changsun Wuji found out that Gao Xiu'er was secretly followed by so many masters, and he wanted to sacrifice his life to escort him, it was completely superfluous.What's more, the standard equipment in the Han army is mostly knives, and the saber is just a decoration for literati.Although Changsun Wuji has practiced martial arts for two days, but with his skill and a broken sword, if he really meets a thief, what will he do?

Gao Xiu'er was a little surprised that Changsun Wuji rushed out of the mansion door recklessly, but she didn't say anything. She glanced at Changsun Wugou who was walking out of the mansion with a cloth bag, nodded, and strode towards the palace.

Not too far away, hundreds of red-clothed and red-armored cavalry surrounded a large carriage slowly approaching, and stopped at the side of the road far away.Several palace maids came forward to meet them, and said in unison: "Congratulations, welcome back to the palace!"

Gao Xiu'er took Liu Sigen by the hand, waved to her grandson Wugou again, and said, "Get in the car!"

When they came, their mother and son took Gaofu's carriage.Now that the identity has been leaked, the private visit of Weifu is naturally in the open.Although the Han Dynasty was peaceful everywhere, who would dare to take the safety of the empress and the eldest prince lightly.The guards who were hiding on the roof just now got the news and rushed back to the palace, Hua Yun immediately sent a group of female guards to meet him.It only took a few quarters of an hour before and after, and the rapidity of the information conveyed, so that the eldest grandson Wugou was secretly surprised, he was stunned for a while, and then boarded the carriage under Gao Xiuer's urging.

Except for the large size of the carriage, there is nothing special about it.When he got into the car, it was a sight to behold.The interior decoration of the carriage is very simple, not luxurious, but it gives people a comfortable feeling, as if they are at home.And all kinds of utensils are available, people can sit or lie down in the car, and there are even all kinds of melon and fruit snacks for taking.Zhangsun Wugou was a little at a loss, he felt that the cost of this carriage must be high, after all it was used by the royal family, how can it be compared with ordinary folk carriages.

Gao Xiu'er seemed to see her doubts, smiled and pointed to the little one opposite, and said, "Sit whatever you want. It only took 180 taels of silver to build this carriage, and all the materials used are ordinary materials. It's just that it has unique ingenuity." , The design is exquisite, walking on the stone road, you don’t feel any bumps at all. However, if this car goes out of the city, it will fail. If it goes on a dirt road for dozens of miles, it will probably fall apart.”

The eldest grandson Wugou took a closer look, and sure enough, as Gao Xiuer said, the wood and cloth were very ordinary.And Gao Xiuer exposed the weakness of this carriage to the fullest, making the eldest grandson Wugou even more confused about what she meant.

But I heard Gao Xiuer say again: "If it is not to take you into the palace, there is no need for a carriage. This carriage is just a leisurely work made by the emperor and this palace. The emperor will win the world immediately. He never rides in a carriage at ordinary times. Even Bengong, Empress Hua, and Empress Tuoba mostly ride horses. Therefore, the palace does not have any carriages. This carriage is a bit crude, so you can just ride it."

The eldest grandson Wugou said hastily: "My servant has long heard that the emperor is diligent and thrifty, so I believe it today."

Indeed, when Yang Guang was in power in the previous dynasty, he liked extravagance the most. Whenever he traveled, the car he took alone contained hundreds of guards.I don't know how much the dragon cart costs.And Liu Ziqiu is equally expensive as an emperor, but he only rides a horse and does not take a car, which naturally saves a lot in terms of travel expenses.Although the eldest grandson Wugou had never been to the palace before, he often watched Yang Guang go out on the street, and he still had a fresh memory of the luxurious scenes at that time, so he had this feeling.

The road leading to the palace is very wide, but there are very few pedestrians on the road. The team moved quickly, and after a while, they saw the tall Bell and Drum Tower, which was once the most luxurious place in the entire Luoyang Palace.However, now this place has been protected by Liu Ziqiu's order.In the original historical process, after Li Yuan occupied Luoyang, he ordered the Bell and Drum Tower to be destroyed because it was too luxurious.Liu Ziqiu also thought that the Bell and Drum Tower was too luxurious and did not intend to use it, but he did not take the same action as Li Yuan because of this. Instead, he sent a special person to take care of it.

Liu Ziqiu, who came from later generations, visited the ruins of the Old Summer Palace in Beijing, and was deeply angry and regretful that a great building was destroyed by the Allied Forces of the Eight Powers.In fact, Liu Ziqiu, who has read history books for a few days, knows that in the 5000 years of Chinese history, countless great buildings were destroyed by the change of dynasties.Especially the Efang Palace, which was burned down by Xiang Yu, so far people can only review its magnificent appearance through some literary works.Although Liu Ziqiu doesn't like luxurious pleasures, he doesn't want these great buildings that condense the wisdom, sweat and wealth of the Chinese people to be destroyed out of thin air. A wealth for future generations.

It's just that after Changsun Wugou saw the intact Bell and Drum Tower, he had some more opinions on Liu Ziqiu, so he remained silent.Indeed, in the eyes of ordinary people, isn't your purpose of leaving these luxurious places for pleasure?It's just that I don't enjoy it now, but leave it for later.The eldest grandson Wugou is no longer the little girl she was back then, she also has her own thoughts, she already had some opinions about Liu Ziqiu, but now she feels it's hypocrisy.

Of course Gao Xiu'er was unaware of the change in Changsun Wugou's mentality, and she was still pointing out the scenery in the palace for her eldest grandson Wugou along the way.Influenced by Liu Ziqiu, she doesn't like the practice of being implicated.It was Changsun Wuji who participated in the kidnapping of their mother and child back then. At that time, Changsun Wugou was still an ignorant child, so naturally he would not arouse her hostility.On the contrary, she also vaguely felt that Changsun Wugou seemed to have a prejudice against Liu Ziqiu. In order to resolve this prejudice, her attitude towards Changsun Wugou became much better.

The palace is very large, but it is orderly and very quiet.Along the way, from time to time, court ladies and eunuchs bowed down to salute Gao Xiu'er, but no one dared to make any noise.After walking for about half an hour, I finally arrived outside Zhaoyang Palace.The eldest grandson Wugou was a little tired, but Gao Xiu'er, mother and son were still full of energy.

Seeing Gao Xiuer's mother and son coming back, Xiangcao rushed out to welcome her, but she saw her eldest grandson Wugou, she couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Why did my sister bring a handsome man back, is she going to drive my sister out?"

This is of course just a joke, and only she and Gao Xiuer are like sisters, dare to say such a joke.Now she has got her wish, she was taken into Liu Ziqiu's house, and she was also given the title of beauty.Recently, the body has obviously begun to gain weight. After Gao Xiu'er took the pulse with her own hands, she confirmed that Yuxi was a boy.Since ancient times, mothers valued their children, especially the royal family. As long as she gave birth to the son in her womb safely, her status would naturally be stronger, and she didn't have to worry about falling out of favor.On the contrary, because she was pregnant, she couldn't work too much, so she couldn't often serve Gao Xiu'er, but she hoped that Gao Xiu'er could choose a caring person to serve by her side, so she was very interested in this beautiful girl who suddenly came to the palace.

Gao Xiu'er knew that she had misunderstood, so she smiled and said: "She was not brought back by my sister, but came to ask the emperor Xingshi for her crimes."

Back in the harem, Gao Xiu'er always spoke with a smile, and she didn't have the airs of a queen at all, which surprised Changsun Wugou.However, she didn't think she was here to inquire about the crime, she just wanted to ask for an explanation.The eldest grandson Wugou opened his mouth, and was about to explain, when he saw that Xiangcao's face had already darkened: "Hmph, the emperor is too kind. As a result, cats and dogs all came here to ask the teacher. Sister, do you want to persuade me?" Advise the emperor, don't let them mess up the rules of respect!"

Xiang Cao is a straightforward person, she only knows how to protect Liu Ziqiu, she has long since thrown away the little affection she had for her eldest grandson Wugou just now, wishing that someone would drag her eldest grandson Wugou out and punish her for thirty years.Of course, the palace has now abolished the punishment of rod punishment, she can only think about it silently in her heart, and cannot implement it.

The eldest grandson Wugou was taken aback, and suddenly regretted it.Today's Liu Ziqiu is no longer the big brother who saved her on the canal, but the emperor.The emperor got angry and buried his corpse for thousands of miles.She, a little weak woman, dared to ask him for an explanation, wouldn't she be asking for her own death?It doesn't matter if she dies, as long as it hurts her brother and uncle's family.The eldest grandson Wugou felt fear for the first time.

Gao Xiu'er frowned and said: "Listen to your tone, there are other people who come to question the emperor Xingshi?"
