By the time Kang Jian was called in by Gu Zhao, His Highness the Crown Prince was already a little confused.

"Why did you drink so much?" Kang Jian said with a grimace, "Master, the imperial doctor said that you can only drink a small amount, not too much!"

Gu Zhao was speechless.

If three cups is considered too much, then the prince did drink too much.

They each drank three glasses of wine. She only had a slight blush on her cheeks, while the prince's face was crimson and his eyes were blurry.

He sat opposite Gu Zhao and tried to support his head with his hands, but failed repeatedly.

As a result, there was a bit of confusion and grievance on Zhang Qingjun's face, as if he didn't understand why he was always in trouble.

He kept saying, "Gu Zhao, don't shake, don't shake, your eyes are dizzy... Sit tight, don't shake..."

The image of the reserved and noble Crown Prince in Gu Zhao's mind suddenly collapsed.

The rain outside the window stopped, and this encounter was about to end.

Gu Zhao stood up, watched the two guards helping the prince go out and get into the car, and said to Shen Wei, "Let's escort His Highness back to the palace."

Although he didn't know why the prince took only this few people to travel incognito, Gu Zhao didn't want anything to happen to him.

In my memory, the great turmoil in the Bei'an court in my previous life began with the sudden death of the prince.

The crown prince is the foundation of a country. If the prince is safe and sound, people's hearts will not be in chaos.

Only after sending the prince to the East Palace did Gu Zhao feel relieved.

She wanted to leave, but Kang Jian said nothing to let her leave. "His Highness was in the car just now, and he was still mumbling Mr. Gu's name."

"Master Gu, please sit down for a moment and have a bowl of hangover soup before leaving." The prince greeted Gu Zhao as he got out of the car. At this time, the prince seemed to be much more awake.

It's just that he has probably never lost his composure in front of others like this before. His steps were a little hurried. "I'm going in alone to change my clothes. Excuse me."

After a long time, the prince appeared again.

He changed into a gold-rimmed dragon suit and wore a gold crown on his head. He looked energetic and more energetic than when Gu Zhao saw him before.

As soon as Gu Zhao stood up, a young eunuch hurried over, as if he had something to say to the prince.

Just seeing outsiders, the little eunuch stopped quickly.

The prince glanced at the young eunuch, "Don't do such sneaky tricks. If you have anything to say, just say it. Mr. Gu is not an outsider."

Gu Zhao bowed to the prince and excused himself, "I still have official duties to attend to, so I won't disturb your highness."

What does it mean that she is not an outsider?

Gu Zhao didn't want to know the secret of the East Palace.

But the little eunuch had already said obediently, "Your Highness, there was news just now that King Li was rushed into the palace. He stood outside the observatory for nearly an hour before being summoned in."

Gu Zhao's heart moved. It seemed that the emperor was really dissatisfied with King Li for killing so many members of the mission without permission.

"Not long after King Li entered, he was kicked out by his majesty, and..." The little eunuch secretly glanced at Gu Zhao, and seeing that the prince still didn't stop him, he continued, "His majesty summoned the powerful men in the palace and used the staff to punish the king twenty times. He was punished with a stick and fined King Li for confiscation of one year's salary. King Li was ordered to close the palace and was not allowed to leave the palace for half a year."

The prince asked the young eunuch to step aside, then looked at Gu Zhao in confusion and asked, "Did you miss something important when you went out today? What did King Li do to make your father so angry?"

It was not a secret that King Li killed the mission's guards in the street. Gu Zhao thought about it and told the prince about it.

The prince made a fist with one hand and a palm with the other. He struck hard with both hands and cheered loudly, "Good kill! Uncle Nineteen breathed a sigh of relief!"

Gu Zhao now doesn't know the emperor's true attitude.

If you just look at the emperor's punishment of King Li, it seems very serious. But compared with King Li's behavior, this punishment seems a bit light.

If the emperor was really angry, King Li should be in the prison at this time.

Gu Zhao really couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking.

The prince seemed to notice Gu Zhao's doubts. He stretched out his hand to signal Gu Zhao to take a seat, "Master Gu, I haven't thanked you for escorting Gu Zhao back to the palace."

Gu Zhao bowed slightly and said, "This is your duty. Your Highness, there is no need to thank you."

The prince's expression has returned to calmness. "Sit down, I have something to say to you."

Gu Zhao had no choice but to sit down again and wait to hear what the prince had to say.

"Master Gu, I can feel your loyalty and your respect for me, so I don't understand why you don't want to be the crown princess?"

Before Gu Zhao could speak, the prince raised his hand to stop her, "I don't want to listen to those false clichés."

He raised his eyes, his long and narrow red phoenix eyes, with the ends of his eyes flying up, looking at Gu Zhao quietly, "Gu Zhao, I just want to hear the truth in your heart."

Gu Zhao thought for a while and replied seriously, "Your Highness, if you want to hear the truth, then I've said it. Don't be angry."

The prince nodded, looking equally serious.

"Your Highness may know that I come from a poor family in the south of the Yangtze River, so I have understood a truth since I was a child. That is, you can only get what you want through your own efforts and with your own hands."

"Whether it is parents, brothers, or a beloved couple, they cannot be relied upon forever."
