“She’s right.” The patriarch nodded repeatedly and felt that what Gu Yanfei said made sense.

After the separation just now, the patriarch’s impression of Gu Yanfei improved a lot.

In the past, he had only heard from Madam Gu and Gu Jian that this child was unruly and unbridled. However, today, he saw that this child spoke and acted generously. He knew right from wrong and knew the righteousness of the world. He was like a father.

On the other hand, Madam Gu and Gu Jian…

The patriarch glanced at Gu Jian in displeasure.

No matter what, he couldn’t let Madam Gu kneel at the entrance. This would hurt the Gu family’s face too much. It would also make the Emperor think that the Gu family was insensible and that they had to quickly bring her back. However, the palace gate was an important place, and it wasn’t good for so many people to surround it.

The patriarch discussed with Gu Jian and got someone to prepare the car. He brought Gu Yuan along and hurriedly left the residence to pick her up.

…..
The group of horses galloped all the way and arrived at the entrance after an incense stick of time.

However, the center of the Wumen Gate was empty. There was no sign of Madam Gu. Only the guards on both sides guarded the Meridian Gate with spears.

Gu Jian’s heart skipped a beat. He wasn’t sure if the Great Madam had returned to the residence by herself, or…

As he was thinking, he saw a short and fat middle-aged eunuch walking over leisurely on the other side of the noon gate. He casually bowed to Gu Jian and Gu Yuan and said in a sharp voice, “Madam Gu has been summoned by the Emperor.”

“The Emperor has instructed me to wait here for the Marquis.”

“Marquis, Battalion Commander Gu, please come with us.”

With that, the middle-aged eunuch smiled and extended his hand in invitation. His gaze gently swept across the patriarch standing between Gu Jian and Gu Yuan.

Gu Jian was even more uncertain. From the eunuch’s words, the Emperor knew that he would come sooner or later?

He felt his mouth go dry as he introduced the patriarch to the eunuch. “Eunuch, this is the patriarch of the Gu family.”

The patriarch bowed and introduced himself obediently. “My surname is Gu and my name is An. Greetings, Father-in-law.”

In the important place of the palace gate, the patriarch felt uncomfortable everywhere. He had never entered the palace in his life. The grand and majestic high walls and palace gates around him invisibly gave him a sense of oppression, making him feel restrained.

“Old Master Gu, come with me too.” The middle-aged attendant smiled warmly and led the way for the three members of the Gu family.

Hence, the three of them followed the middle-aged eunuch straight ahead and passed through tall and dignified palace doors unimpeded.

The patriarch was in fear and trepidation. He didn’t look sideways the entire way and didn’t dare to look around at all. He only felt that the sunlight today was so dazzling that he couldn’t open his eyes.

He had only walked for less than a hundred feet, but his back was already drenched in sweat, and his figure and footsteps became even more stiff and uneasy.

The patriarch didn’t remember the way at all. After passing through countless palace doors, he entered a lush garden. There were no tall palace walls around him, making him feel enlightened.

The sky was clear, and the flowers in the Imperial Garden were overflowing with fragrance. The spring flowers had buds on the branches.

The weather in early spring was warm and cold. The afternoon wind still felt cold on her body.

After traveling through the garden for a while, they arrived at a water pavilion by the lake.

There were more than ten people gathered in the water pavilion. The patriarch saw a familiar figure kneeling stiffly on the ground at a glance. It was a woman in her fifties. She was wearing big makeup, and the luxurious and extraordinary crown on her head shone with a dazzling light.

The woman kneeling on the ground was Madam Gu.

When the three members of the Gu family walked past Madam Gu under the guidance of the eunuch, Madam Gu noticed them.

She didn’t expect them to come, and her eyes widened slightly in surprise.

Madam Gu pursed her lips tightly. Her dark lips were dry, and a trace of uneasiness flashed across her eyes.

After Gu Yuan left, Madam Gu kneeled at the noon gate for almost an hour. More and more courtiers came and went. Although those courtiers didn’t ask Madam Gu why, they couldn’t help but look at her strangely.

Later on, she was brought in by an unfamiliar eunuch. He brought her straight to the Tinglan Water Pavilion in the Imperial Garden and brought her to the Emperor and his son.

Madam Gu knelt down and was about to apologize on behalf of Gu Yuan when Xiao Shoufu, Wang Kangyin, Feng She, and the others rushed over to see the Emperor.

Most of these people were powerful and important ministers in the court. As soon as they arrived, Madam Gu, who was a woman, had no room to speak. She could only wait here. After waiting for a full hour, Gu Jian, Gu Yuan, and the others arrived..
