Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

He was standing on the bustling street, and countless men and women were smiling and the atmosphere was like a festival.

If you take a closer look, it doesn't seem like a festival, but it is indeed a festival.

Men and women walk together, and you can also see some daughters of wealthy families, accompanied by maids and servants, playing on the streets at night.

Small vendors on both sides of the road were also shouting loudly, and fireworks and firecrackers could be seen everywhere in the city.

What a prosperous scene.

"Lantern Festival?"

Li Changshou's appearance didn't seem to attract the attention of the people around him, because there were too many people, at most it was just some passing girls and daughters-in-law watching him secretly, one or two blushing and whispering, and they didn't know where he was. talking about something.

"Sir, do you want to buy something?"

The vendor owner on the side rubbed his hands. The most important thing for a businessman is to have a pair of eyes.

The young gentleman in front of him was dressed in silk and satin, and he knew that he was of extraordinary background, and there must be a lot of money in his pocket.

"No thanks."

Li Changshou shook his head politely, and suddenly appeared in the streets and alleys from the underground palace. It was still so lively that normal people would be stunned.

Fortunately, he himself is not a normal person, let alone the ancients who made a fuss about gods and ghosts.

He can go through reincarnation, and there is a system, and what happens seems to be normal.

Following the crowd, Li Changshou walked towards the busiest place, while observing his surroundings, the more he looked at them, the more familiar they looked.

"System, is this the capital city?"

Yes, Beijing!
After walking for a while, he has already recognized it. Who else but the system can transfer a living person from a place thousands of miles away to the capital out of thin air?
【Ding!The hidden mission has started for ten days. If it is interrupted early during the mission period, unpredictable consequences will occur. Please try not to make too eye-catching behavior to the host]

【Mission location, capital city】

It turned out that Li Changshou could only attribute the method of teleporting thousands of miles out of thin air to the magic of the system when he really arrived in the capital.

"So what exactly is the hidden mission? Is there no hint at all?"

He knew that this hidden mission was related to Gu Fan's biological father, and it was also related to who was the person who married Gu Xiaoya in the bridal chamber on her wedding day.

But now at least give some hints, right?
If he wasn't curious, he wouldn't have spent ten days downloading the dungeon.

Since there are at least task reminders for the next dungeon, otherwise where would he go in ten days?

It's a pity that the system didn't respond, and Li Changshou followed the crowd to the busiest river in the capital, only to see flower boats decorating the river, and countless people playing and frolicking.

There are also those who guess lantern riddles, those who sell fireworks and firecrackers, and you can see many literati and students reciting poems there.

There are quite a few people like him who travel alone at night, but most of them travel together.

"It's really the Lantern Festival, have I gone back to a day ago?"

Li Changshou followed the crowd calmly, while thinking about his next step. Time and space backtracking was not uncommon for a time traveler like him.

In the middle of the journey, he was even stalked by some girls from the capital city. Whoever made him look handsome and dressed in brocade robes made him look like an extraordinary young man.

The so-called fair and modest ladies and gentlemen are fond of sex, and there are many examples of women in the imperial dynasty who in turn pursue men.

"Young master, do you want to try guessing lantern riddles?"

Before he knew it, Li Changshou came to a restaurant.

Just happened to be grabbed by someone, he looked up and he was happy, isn't this the secret stronghold of the Demon Sect in the capital?
"Guess the lantern riddle?"

"That's right, Gu Shilang is the host tonight, and arranged a lot of lantern riddles in this restaurant, and now all the talents in the capital are coming here especially for the name!"

The waiter in the restaurant introduced it with a smile. Li Changshou took a look and found that there were indeed many lanterns hanging at the entrance of the restaurant. Of course, he was not interested in the technical work of guessing lantern riddles.

Don't ask why, he doesn't have much ink in his stomach.

This kind of technical work has nothing to do with him.

"Forget it, I'm not interested."

He is now thinking about his next move and is not interested in playing lantern riddles.

"Young master, don't you really want to try? Tonight, it is said that Gu Shilang wants to recruit a son-in-law for his daughter, so he used this pretext to set up a hundred and eight lantern riddles. I heard that whoever can solve them all can hopefully become a The son-in-law of the Gu family is riding a dragon!"

Son-in-law?

I am interested in mentioning this Li Changshou.

Hearing this, he also smiled and asked, "Oh? Recruiting a son-in-law? Dare I ask how the daughter of Gu Shilang's family looks like?"

Well, don't be in a hurry, it seems good to watch the excitement?
As for the lack of ink in his stomach, the system has it, and the big deal is to spend points to turn to the system for help.

"Isn't the young master from the capital? Haven't you heard of the daughter of the Gu family?"

"how?"

What did Li Changshou suddenly think of, Gu Shilang?
Among the three provinces and six departments of the court, which servant is surnamed Gu?

"If you want to talk about this daughter of the Gu family, there are all kinds of rumors. Although few people have actually seen it, they have heard that she is as beautiful as a flower, and there are countless people who come to propose marriage!"

The waiter in the restaurant talked eloquently, but Li Changshou had already discovered the clue.

Scan with the system, as expected.

Demon disciple!

"Oh?"

"My lord, don't you believe me, you see so many lords have come here tonight, and there are many talents from the capital, all for the sake of seeing the beautiful face of the daughter of the Gu family, and want to be the son-in-law of the Gu family!"

Li Changshou heard the words and looked, it was indeed the case. The whole restaurant was crowded with people, and there were many rich and noble young men in brocade robes like him.

Although there are ordinary people, most of them come to see the excitement.

There are even daughters of some big families, I don't know if it's for fun or for other purposes.

In short, many people did come.

"There are indeed a lot of people."

"Yes, young master, do you want to try?"

The waiter in the restaurant suggested again with a smile, and Li Changshou asked thoughtfully, "I just came to the capital, but I don't know who this Gu Shilang is?"

"Master Gu is the Minister of the Ministry of War today."

Minister of the Ministry of War, the Gu family!
Li Changshou's scalp was numb, and he understood where the system had taken him.

It's not the capital of a day ago, but the capital of more than 20 years ago!

【Ding!The host discovers important information about the hidden mission and rewards 10000 system points]

Sure enough, the system no longer plays dead.

"System, if you want to send me points, just send them directly. Why do you have to engage in so many tricks?"

Li Changshou didn't even want to complain. Who wouldn't be able to guess the information that normal people know?

Now that he knows where he is now, he must be a little more interested, and he no longer turns around and leaves, but follows along to see the excitement.

The restaurant was still the same restaurant. He scanned around with the system and found that many people were arranged by the magic door.

Of course, there are also many dignitaries in the capital, not to mention, it seems that the Gu family really wants to take advantage of this opportunity to find a son-in-law.

"I remember that back then, Momen wanted to send Gu Xiaoya into the palace and let her be the emperor's old man's pillow. How could they recruit a son-in-law here?"

The Demon Sect has always used unscrupulous means for its ends, and its style of doing things is more direct than the hypocritical side of the Immortal Sect.

Would he tolerate the Gu family recruiting a son-in-law for their daughter?

And this question will soon be explained.

"Old Emperor!"

It turned out that Li Changshou found a few figures, although they were separated by a distance, but still found clues, and the system immediately found the result.

Those few people were Emperor Qianming, Eunuch Liu and others more than 20 years ago.

Who would have thought that the majestic emperor would have fun with the people?
Of course, it was fortunate that no one knew about it, otherwise it wouldn't be so lively outside, and a large group of people would have to kneel down in black.

【Ding!Congratulations to the host for discovering the main character in the hidden mission, reward 10000 system points]

"If I kill the emperor's old son now, will it affect the follow-up history?"

A very exciting idea popped up in Li Changshou's mind involuntarily. There have been many people arguing about the space-time paradox. The simplest example is that he went back in time and killed his grandfather. Is it possible?

If the grandfather has not yet married a wife and had children, it is impossible to have his father. Without a father, how can he be himself?

Since it was impossible for him to be born, how could he go back in time and kill his grandfather?
Li Changshou was neither a philosopher nor a scientist. He only had a general understanding of this space-time paradox, and finally gave up that exciting and tempting idea.

"It seems that this game of guessing lantern riddles to recruit a son-in-law is not really for recruiting a son-in-law, but to lure the emperor to meet Gu Xiaoya!"

He also felt strange, since Momen planned to send Gu Xiaoya into the palace to control Emperor Qianming, how could they tolerate it?
Now it all makes perfect sense.

"Young master, please."

The waiter in the restaurant is a disciple of the Demon Sect, leading the way with a smile on his face.

There are many people outside, and there are also many people inside. Of course, those who can come in are either rich or expensive, and they all depend on the head of the food.

Li Changshou kept his composure and followed him in. Suddenly, a voice came to his ears, "Make arrangements, go to the private room next to the emperor."

It is impossible for outsiders to hear it because of the sound transmission, but the waiter in the restaurant trembled all over, and his expression changed suddenly.

"Where is Elder Wang?"

The waiter in the restaurant was about to make a move, but when he heard about it, his face changed again.

Then he led Li Changshou to a private room with a respectful expression. While there was no one around, he hurriedly saluted in the unique way of Momen, "I have met you, may I ask who you are?"

"Let Elder Wang come to see me."

Li Changshou didn't say anything, and went straight into the private room.

Next door are Emperor Qianming, Eunuch Liu and others. Obviously, if there is nothing wrong tonight, the old emperor will definitely be greedy for Gu Xiaoya's beauty after seeing her, and then issue an imperial decree to let her enter the palace as a concubine.

This is also the strategy of the Devil's Gate. Sending it to the palace on its own initiative will cause people to be suspicious, but if the emperor and the old man run into him in his own incognito, who can doubt it?
"Yes!"

The waiter in the restaurant did not dare to neglect, the Demon Sect has a long history, even the disciples of the Demon Sect cannot know everyone.

The key point is that Li Changshou casually made a secret code that only people from the Demon Sect know. How could he doubt it?
……

"Ya'er, why are you so unhappy?"

In one of the private rooms of the restaurant, there are two women sitting, one is mature and charming, and the other is young. They look half or half of the imagination, and they are the female relatives of Gu Shilang's family as rumored outside.

"Mother, my daughter is fine, but I don't like the excitement very much."

The young woman looked sixteen or seventeen years old. In the Mood for Love, she didn't have the vigor she should have. Instead, she was a little calmer than her peers.

However, behind the calmness, there are still some hidden knots that outsiders cannot guess.

The mature woman is Gu Shilang's wife. Looking at her daughter's sullen look, she also sighed, "You, you mentioned to your father about guessing lantern riddles tonight, why are you unhappy now?"

"Mother, my daughter is really fine, don't worry."

"You look like this, how can my mother not worry?" The mature woman couldn't help shaking her head, she looked graceful and luxurious against the backdrop of a lavender dress, and at the same time couldn't help sighing, "My mother knows that you don't want to marry yet, but Girls still have to find a good home after all, parents can't stay by your side forever."

"My daughter doesn't want to leave you..."

"Silly boy, who can stay with parents forever?"

The mature women were all amused by the childish words of their daughter, and then comforted them, "Why don't you go and tell your father, and the matter of recruiting a son-in-law will be slowed down later, my Ya'er is only 16 years old, and she is still young." .”

However, the girl shook her head, "Mother, it's my daughter who is wayward."

At that moment, there seemed to be countless unwillingness and helplessness deep in the girl's eyes...
