When Emperor Shouzheng appeared in front of the crowd, he looked as strong as ever. Only those who were close to him could see that his complexion was far less rosy than usual, and his strong spirit was a broken body.

It seems that the blow of the crane falling to the ground yesterday had an irreparable impact on Emperor Shouzheng's body and spirit.

However, those officials who were farther away didn't pay attention at all. They only thought about how to use all their means to show their face in front of the emperor. Wouldn't that be a great success?

Gu Zhao's position was not far or near from the emperor. Gu Pandi was wearing a bright green dress and a messy gold hairpin and beaded hairpin. She stood behind her and looked curiously in the direction of the emperor.

Yesterday, her family was watching on the roadside, separated by the imperial guards at a distance. They just saw the bright yellow car from a distance, and were ordered to kneel on the ground and not raise their heads. She did not see the emperor clearly at all.

Until now, she barely managed to take a rough look, and for a moment, she felt disappointed in her heart.

The legendary emperor turned out to be a bad old man, with bags under his eyes, his beard turned white, and wrinkles on his face that looked like tattered sacks that could kill a fly. He was completely incomparable to the prince who was as white and tender as tofu.

Thinking of this, Gu Pandi couldn't help but secretly look at the prince not far away.

The prince, who was wearing an apricot dragon robe and surrounded by people, was more handsome and majestic than when she first saw him. She couldn't help but blush with embarrassment and lowered her head delicately.

Emperor Shouzheng sat high on the platform, and below him stood the civil and military nobles according to their status, with Lin Weikang standing at the top.

"Today, Your Majesty is here in person to hold a hunting meeting, and all the sons and daughters of the family can actively participate. Anyone who performs well will be rewarded by His Majesty!" Following the order, the eunuch stood in front of the steps and announced loudly, and his high-pitched voice could be heard far away.

The young people who had been waiting for a long time under the steps suddenly became energetic, bowed and knelt down, and shouted, "Long live long live!"

These young people originally came only for the prince's party, but they did not expect that they would now have the opportunity to perform in front of the emperor and let the prince see their abilities. This made them full of motivation.

Emperor Shouzheng looked at his sons and said, "Prince, you guys can go too. You are all young people. Don't sit here and feel itchy."

The prince laughed and said, "How does the father know that my son is itchy?"

Emperor Shouzheng laughed, and his old voice became more energetic, "I also came here when I was young, how could I not know what you people are thinking in your hearts?"

Speaking of this, he remembered the culprit who almost killed him, and a cold light flashed in his cloudy old eyes.

That scoundrel!

Emperor Shouzheng now remembered his previous evaluation of Qin Youjin.

What he said at the time was right. This evil obstacle was that he was born with a stubborn character, and he was restrained and harmed his relatives and harmed others. He killed his brother when he was born, and soon after he killed his biological mother, and now it comes to hinder him again!

Emperor Shouzheng had a gloomy look in his eyes, and he coldly glanced at the sons who were saluting him.

The eldest Prince Jing is less than thirty years old now, the Prince is just in his early twenties, Prince Cheng is one year younger than the Prince, and the other sons who have not yet been crowned kings are only fifteen or sixteen years old.

What a young and powerful body, what an enviable youthful aura...and what an alarming ambition!

Several young princes did not feel the strangeness in their father's eyes at all. After saluting him excitedly, they hurriedly got off the platform and gathered their own men to make preparations.

The prince looked at the backs of his younger brothers, his face full of the doting look of a good brother.

Even when he walked to Gu Zhao's side, this expression had not completely gone away.

"Master Gu, there are many people participating in the hunting this time. They are all young and promising young men from various families. We must not cause any problems. Although there are imperial guards here, I have to ask you to pay more attention." The prince looked serious.

Di said to Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao's face was solemn, he cupped his fists and saluted, "Yes, I will do my best as an official!"

"Actually, Mr. Gu can also take his subordinates to participate in this hunting together."

The prince looked at the fierce little cranes around Gu Zhao, and saw that none of them showed flattering expressions to him, but had serious faces, and their eyes followed Gu Zhao closely, and he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

"With Kong Hesi's prowess and bravery, and Master Gu's skills, maybe we can get a good ranking and receive rewards from His Majesty."

Gu Zhao shied away with a smile, "As a low-ranking official, I have my responsibilities. Although I will enter the hunting grounds by then, I can't neglect my duties. However, if I gain something by then, I can invite the prince to have a taste."

As he said this, Gu Zhao was very impatient in his heart. The prince wanted to follow her everywhere, she would not hit anything, and he would not want to eat anything.

The prince happily patted Gu Zhao on the shoulder, "Master Gu, it's settled. When the time comes, we must let Gu taste the prey that Master Gu personally caught."

Gu Pandi looked at the prince in fascination, who was only a few steps away from her. Pink bubbles filled the place in her eyes, and her desire to possess this man became stronger and stronger.

The prince said a few words to Gu Zhao, then left, leading the East Palace guards towards the hunting ground not far away.

Turning around, the smile on the prince's face disappeared instantly.

He was so disgusted by Gu Pan's disgusting eyes and expression that he would have vomited if he hadn't been looking around here and had no time to eat in the morning.

A cold light flashed in the long and narrow Danfeng eyes. The corners of the prince's mouth tightened. He got on his horse and shook the reins. "The hunting is about to begin."

The Villa is the residential area of ​​the Royal Hunting Ground. After passing through the straight corridor and opening the gate to the hunting ground, you can reach the hunting ground in only a quarter of an hour on horseback.

Because of the arrival of Emperor Shouzheng, the Control He Division temporarily sent a large number of additional personnel from Shangjing City to the Royal Villa. As the highest-ranking Control He Division official in the Villa, Gu Zhao naturally became their highest leader.

"Brother Qi, you lead people to guard the gate of the hunting ground. Don't worry about anything else. Guarding the gate and not allowing anyone to isolate the inside and outside is your only mission."

Gu Zhao looked solemn and handed this life-related task to Qi Si.

Qi Si also knew the importance of the matter.
Chapter completed!
