Gu Zhao's heart moved, and he seemed to know what he was going to do. "What do you mean, Your Highness?"

The prince chuckled softly, and there was a bit of bitterness in his laughter. "Why do you ask, Mr. Gu, knowingly? Qi Si is your subordinate. He has already discovered that there is something wrong with the behavior of the imperial guards. I don't believe you didn't see anything."

Gu Zhao was silent for a while, "In that case, please ask Your Highness to give me a warrant, and I will go and screen them one by one."

The prince slowly stood up and walked to Gu Zhao, staring at her with dark eyes, "Master Gu, if I don't ask you to come, are you going to not take care of it even if you find something?"

His narrow red phoenix eyes were full of coldness, and it seemed that as long as Gu Zhao admitted it, he would shoot out countless sword lights and cut Gu Zhao into several pieces.

Gu Zhao was not frightened by his abnormal appearance. She cupped her hands as usual and said in a calm tone, "Why did Your Highness say this? Isn't it just to protect His Highness's safety when I left Qi Si to guard the gate?"

"It's just that Yu Lin's military affairs are very important, and regarding military power, I should avoid suspicion. So even though I had some suspicions just now, I just wanted to investigate privately. I will report to you when I have the clues. Please make your decision."

The prince looked at Gu Zhao steadily for a while, then suddenly sighed and sat down feebly, "I'm sorry, Gu Zhao, I shouldn't lose my temper with you."

"I just suddenly felt as if I was walking alone in a dark wilderness, with too much malice hidden around me."

The prince pressed his forehead and said in a low voice, "In the darkness, there seemed to be countless coveting eyes, looking at me as if they were looking at a plump piece of meat, ready to pounce on and bite the next piece at any time."

"At this time, the familiar faces that emerged from the darkness seemed to have become unfamiliar. I was not sure whether they were really here to help me and save me, or whether they were trying to deceive me and stab me in the back after gaining my trust.

"

"I'm sorry. I only trust you, so I can't help but lose my temper with you. In fact, it's just because I'm afraid."

"I shouldn't be afraid, right?" The prince murmured, his eyes dull, "I am the prince of a country, I should be wise and brave, I should be wise and kind... But sometimes, I am really scared, just

It’s like those days when I was hit by the night acacia, I was in so much pain all day and all night that I couldn’t sleep, and all I could think about was what would happen if I died.”

At this time, the prince no longer had the reserve and dignity in front of others, as if he was no longer the prince of a country, but just Qin Youzhen.

He sat in the dark, his shoulders slumped slightly, his tone was depressed, and his hands were holding his hair, no different from any ordinary person suffering from stress and frustration.

Gu Zhao couldn't help but think of his past life experience. From a poor girl in the south of the Yangtze River, he suddenly became a county princess. He had already suffered a lot of cold looks and ridicule. Who knew that he would become a princess again in just a few years!

Her feelings at those times were very similar to Qin Youzhen's now - as if she were standing alone in the wilderness, surrounded by malicious eyes in the darkness.

Many people were envious of her good luck, but who knew the fear and uneasiness in her heart when she hid alone in a corner and huddled up countless times?

At that time, what she needed was not empty words of comfort, but the most practical actions to share the burden with her, just like Lu Qi did.

Qin Youzhen was born noble, he has his own pride, and the last thing he needs is those frivolous and obedient people.

"Your Highness, please issue the decree, and I will do the work immediately." Gu Zhao cupped his hands and spoke calmly, as if nothing had happened.

The prince covered his face with both hands, his shoulders suddenly shaking violently.

Gu Zhao looked at him in surprise. Could it be that the pressure was so great that it made the prince cry?

The laughter grew louder. The prince raised his head. There were no tears in his eyes, but the endless meaning in his eyes: "Gu Zhao, you are so cruel, you are not even willing to comfort me."

A smile appeared on the corner of Gu Zhao's lips, and his eyes seemed to see through everything, "Of course the eagle dogs of Control He Division have a heart as solid as stone."

The prince's laughter became even louder. He stood up from his clothes, strode out of the shadows, walked to the bright window, and began to sharpen the ink vigorously.

After writing the handwriting and stamping it with a small seal, the prince handed it to Gu Zhao and said solemnly, "I leave my safety to you, Gu Zhao."

Gu Zhao took the handwritten letter, stepped back and saluted, "Your Highness, don't worry!"

Protecting the prince is to ensure the balance between the government and the opposition in Bei'an, and to maintain peace in Bei'an. It is not like in the previous life that caused national turmoil due to the princes seizing the legitimate rights, and gave the Donghao people an opportunity to realize their conspiracy to harm Bei'an.

Seeing Gu Zhao walking out of the palace with high spirits, a smile flashed in the prince's eyes.

Gu Zhao is a soft-spoken person, and she would rather raise a weak and disabled mute than accept him and Qin Youjin. Isn't it because they always show their intention to dominate her in front of Gu Zhao?

The things that those young ladies who were imprisoned under the square sky longed for were insults and bullying to Gu Zhao.

Because Gu Zhao is talented, courageous and capable, such people, regardless of gender, cannot accept having their destiny controlled by others.

However, women are naturally sentimental and naturally like to pity the weak, and as the prince, he has a noble status, so it is difficult for him to have the opportunity to arouse such emotions in Gu Zhao.

This time was his chance to open Gu Zhao's heart - he not only wanted Gu Zhao to become a marriage partner, but also wanted her to be his willing wife and help him ascend to the throne and rule the world.

The usually aloof prince suddenly felt depressed and depressed. He never showed his weak side in front of others, and only Gu Zhao could see it.

This kind of him will definitely leave a vivid and vivid image in Gu Zhao's heart, making her get used to focusing on him unconsciously...

The smile on the prince's face quickly faded. He turned around and sat on the high throne, becoming a noble, handsome prince again.

"Kang Jian, go and ask your brother-in-law and Lieutenant Shi to come over. I have something important to discuss with them."

Gu Zhao walked out of the palace, and several little cranes followed him immediately.

Qi Si silently took a step back, letting one of the Xiaohes walk close to Gu Zhao.
