Lin Weikang motioned to Gu Zhao to come out with him.

Gu Zhao nodded to the prince and followed Lin Weikang out of the imperial tent.

As the Duke of Liguo, the camp where Lin Weikang lived was very close to the imperial tent. It was large in area and luxuriously decorated.

But the most eye-catching thing about Lin Weikang now is not his identity or his camp, but the murderous warriors surrounding him.

Compared with Lin Weikang who led hundreds of powerful soldiers, Gu Zhao, who only had four or five little cranes around him, seemed a bit lonely.

The torches illuminated the camp, the ground had been cleaned up, and the loess covered the blood stains on the ground. It was as if everything had never happened.

Only the eerily quiet atmosphere and the eyes watching in the darkness made people feel the changes in the camp.

Lin Weikang asked the soldiers to guard outside his tent, while he entered the tent with Gu Zhao with only a few personal guards.

"Sit down." Lin Weikang's attitude was very cordial and he didn't mean to show off at all. He stretched out his arms and asked the guards to help him take off his armor while talking to Gu Zhao in a completely normal chat manner.

After taking off his armor and putting on his regular clothes, Lin Weikang wiped the sweat from his face and neck with a wet cloth in his hand. "It's such a hot summer, wearing a helmet and shaking armor is really not a good job."

Gu Zhao was sitting on the chair, with an unusual smile on his face: "If you sow melons, you will reap melons, and if you sow beans, you will reap beans. Your hard work today will definitely yield corresponding results in the future."

Lin Weikang sat opposite Gu Zhao and was very satisfied with Gu Zhao's answer: "Yes, there is no such thing as pie in the sky in this world. If you want something, you must fight for it and grab it yourself."

He glanced at Gu Zhao, "Do you understand this now?"

The smile on Gu Zhao's face looked like it was painted on "I knew this truth from the beginning, that's why I left the Duke's Mansion."

"Otherwise, at this time, I would still be in the Duke's mansion, with my palms raised, asking the Duke's wife for a little bit of food and drink for the household. To do this, I would have to behave in a submissive and ugly manner and let others manipulate me."

Lin Weikang originally thought that Gu Zhao was saying that he led the Zhenshan Army to fight out the chaos today and took control of the situation. With such vision and courage, he would definitely have superhuman glory and wealth in the future.

Unexpectedly, Gu Zhao was involved in the matter of falling out with the couple and leaving home.

His face suddenly darkened.

"Girls shouldn't be exposed to the public. You see, you grew up in a rural town and were raised wild. You don't know what is reserved and what is noble."

"I really should have found you earlier and brought you back to the house to teach you the rules. I shouldn't have allowed you to have a bad temper."

The standard smile on Gu Zhao's face was almost broken by his words that could find trouble everywhere, "Oh? Then why didn't you find me earlier? It's because you were busy teaching Lin Xuerong, teaching her how to get close to the prince and catch the prince.

Heart?"

"Is it because you found that Lin Xuerong is young but has a lot of ambitions, and is more suitable to be the crown princess than me, trying to seize the world of Bei'an for you?"

The sarcasm in Gu Zhao's tone was so obvious that Lin Weikang had to stare at Gu Zhao's face, trying to deduce her true thoughts from her expression.

"It seems that you have really known your identity for a long time. No wonder you are full of resentment towards me and your mother, and refuse to give us a good look."

Lin Weikang was not afraid that Gu Zhao would be angry with him, but that Gu Zhao would turn a blind eye to him and have no feeling at all.

Doesn't what Gu Zhao said now mean that she is jealous of Lin Xuerong?

Jealous that Lin Xuerong enjoyed everything that originally belonged to her, jealous that Lin Xuerong had the distinguished status of the eldest daughter of the Duke's palace, jealous that Lin Xuerong was favored by their husband and wife...

This shows that she actually cares about her identity as the eldest daughter of the Duke's family and her parents' love, but because she can't get it, she simply leaves!

Lin Weikang had long thought that this was the case, and now that Gu Zhao's words proved it, he felt relieved.

"Azhao, since you already know your identity, you should also know that at that time, your mother was hiding from the war alone in Jiangnan. There were not enough servants around her, so she temporarily activated her on the road, and that's why she carried the wrong child.

matter."

"No one thought about this. I didn't know that the daughter I had doted on for more than ten years was actually someone else's flesh and blood. But my noble daughter was living such a pitiful life in that remote village. I just found out

It’s also the time when…”

Lin Weikang wiped his eyes, and just as he looked distressed, Gu Zhao said with a smile, "When did you know? When was it?"

Lin Weikang did not answer this very simple question immediately, which made the smile on Gu Zhao's face become more sarcastic.

Lin Xuerong came from another world. After she came to Bei'an at the age of ten, she knew that she was not the daughter of the Duke of Guo, so she tried her best to get rid of Gu Zhao.

And when did Lin Weikang know that Lin Xuerong was not his biological daughter?

Definitely not when he decided to send people from Jiangnan to bring Gu Zhao to the capital.

"So, you have known the truth for a long time, but you are not ready to bring back your biological daughter who grew up in the country, right?" Gu Zhao stood up and looked at Lin Weikang with a smile.

Lin Weikang quickly said, "It's nothing at all. Who would have thought that having the wrong child in his arms would happen to him?"

"Someone accidentally discovered that you look like your grandmother, and told me it as an interesting thing during a casual conversation. I didn't take it seriously at the time. It wasn't until later that your mother mentioned the embarrassing situation of almost giving birth to the child on the roadside. I

Only then did I realize that the place where your mother gave birth was actually the same name as the place where that person mentioned you, and that's when I became suspicious."

"Look, I sent people to investigate thousands of miles from Beijing to the south of the Yangtze River. This happened more than ten years ago. How can I not waste my time?"

"When I find out the truth and confirm that you are really my daughter, I will send someone to pick you up."

Lin Weikang felt that his statement was impeccable.

Gu Zhao had a smile on his face, but his eyes looked like a snowfield thousands of miles away, "So you took me back and made me your adopted daughter. I was framed by Lin Xuerong and even asked me to take the blame for her, using my ruined reputation in exchange for her."

clean?"

"I really doubt that Lin Xuerong is the illegitimate daughter born from your true love, and I am the descendant of your enemy."

Lin Weikang had long been accustomed to telling the truth and patiently explained so much to Gu Zhao, just because Gu Zhao played an irreplaceable role in his plan.

He frowned and said, "Didn't Mammy teach you before? How could the daughter of the Duke of Guo say such vulgar words?"

"Aren't you angry that I supported Lin Xuerong to become the crown princess, and I have wronged you for this?"

"I called you here today just to tell you that I will make it up to you. No one can take away the position of Crown Princess except you."
