Just when Gu Zhao was taking Shen Wei and Qi Si to study the internal daily report of the He Control Department, Xiao He, under Ms. Lu, came to deliver the news.

"Ms. Lu asked me to tell Mr. Gu," Xiaohe said in a very respectful manner, "Your Majesty has woken up."

"As soon as His Majesty woke up, His Royal Highness returned to his tent, looking a little depressed."

"So far, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not come out."

"Your Majesty has summoned the three pavilion elders, and also met with Prince Jing, Prince Liang, and Prince Cheng."

"Now His Majesty is interrogating Duke Li, and Mr. Gu may be summoned soon. Ms. Lu asked you to be careful."

Gu Zhao got a lot of information from the stranger's words, and at the same time he was surprised to realize that Miss Lu's kindness and love for him.

She was appointed by the prince to be responsible for the security of the royal tent. In fact, Gu Zhao did not interfere with the original arrangements of Lady Lu.

Therefore, Gu Zhao's speed in getting to know this information was much slower than that of Miss Lu.

For Ms. Lu to be able to give her such careful advice, she really cares about her younger generation.

Gu Zhao stood up and thanked her seriously, with respect on his face, "Thank you for your hard work, brother. Please go back and tell Ms. Lu that Gu Zhao accepted this favor and will definitely repay it in the future."

Qi Si had dealt with this Xiaohe last time and was relatively familiar with him. She put her arm around his shoulder, patted him, and handed him some money.

Xiaohe said goodbye to them with a smile and left.

Sure enough, not long after, the eunuch came to deliver the order, saying that Emperor Shouzheng asked Gu Zhao to come over.

This time Gu Zhao could not bring Qin Xinglie into the imperial tent, so he had to ask them to wait outside the tent.

Huge icebergs emitted wisps of mist in the corners of the imperial tent, and the entire imperial tent was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.

Emperor Shouzheng didn't seem to be afraid of the cold. He was wearing thin regular clothes and sitting on a chair with an unhealthy flush on his face. He raised his eyelids tiredly and looked at the woman in front of him without any trouble.

"Gu Zhao, you have done a great job in capturing the traitor Lin Weikang. What reward do you want?"

Thinking of the words that Miss Lu sent someone to remind, Gu Zhao looked solemn and humble, "Your Majesty, since I am a member of the Control He Division, I should defend Your Majesty and protect Bei'an. It is my duty to capture the traitors. Why need extra rewards?”

Emperor Shouzheng glanced at Gu Zhao and nodded, with a look of relief on his face.

"I am very happy that you can kill your relatives with justice and be loyal to the emperor and patriotism. If all the people in the world are like you, what should I worry about?"

Gu Zhao didn't know what he meant, so he could only stand quietly with his hands down, not daring to say anything.

Emperor Shouzheng said slowly, "However, you should know that he is your biological father."

Gu Zhao didn't dare to say one more word, "Yes."

Emperor Shouzheng continued, "He has always wanted you to become the crown prince, so that with your help, he can influence the prince and control the government."

"This is his wishful thinking. Your Majesty and the Crown Prince are both extremely wise. How can he influence and control them?"

Gu Zhao blurted out without hesitation. She really didn't think Lin Weikang had the brains to fight against Emperor Shouzheng. After all, Emperor Shouzheng was the biggest conspirator.

Emperor Shouzheng suddenly opened his pale lips and smiled, "No, in fact, on this point, Lin Weikang and I really have the same idea." He paused, obviously out of breath, "I have always hoped that You can become the Crown Princess."

Gu Zhao was shocked, but his expression remained calm, "I am a civil servant with a rough personality and vulgar behavior. How can I be a good match for the prince?"

Emperor Shouzheng stopped talking.

It was quiet in the royal tent, except for the slight sound of wind coming from the palace maid shaking her long-handled fan on the edge of the iceberg.

The maids and eunuchs all lowered their heads and looked at their toes, pressing their backs tightly against the edge of the tent, trying their best to reduce their sense of presence.

Gu Zhao realized that he might have angered Emperor Shouzheng by refusing too quickly and directly.

But she didn't understand why Emperor Shouzheng would mention this matter again at this point.

It used to be to appease Lin Weikang, but what is it for now?

Why does everyone want to care about her marriage, and why do they interfere?

The cold wind flowed gently in the imperial tent, and cold sweat began to break out on Gu Zhao's body, but if she had to do it again, she would still refuse, and it would be the same a hundred times.

She, Gu Zhao, would rather die than surrender.

It wasn't until Emperor Shouzheng's tired voice came to his ears, "Please step back," that Gu Zhao felt as if he had received an amnesty, bowed and exited the imperial tent.

The dazzling sunlight outside the tent and the heat wave hitting his face suddenly brought Gu Zhao back to reality.

She touched her forehead. It was wet. She didn't know when she had sweated so much.

"Sir, your clothes are all wet. Go back and change quickly." Shen Wei worriedly stepped forward to block Gu Zhao.

Not only was Gu Zhao's clothes soaked with sweat, but his entire face was a little pale.

After returning to her tent, she hurriedly took a shower and changed her clothes. Only then did Gu Zhao realize that Yuan Fu, who had been following her almost every step of the way, did not appear.

This is a strange thing.

"Master Gu, Madam Lu, please come over. I have something important to discuss with you."

It’s still the same little crane just now.

Gu Zhao put aside all the questions in his mind and rushed over with Shen Wei and a few Xiaohe.

Miss Lu was dressed in green and had a calm expression. To be honest, Miss Lu's appearance was not great, but her eyes were very special.

Gu Zhao felt that from those eyes, she saw innocence and vicissitudes of life, which seemed contradictory, but it gave Ms. Lu a special temperament.

Gu Zhao felt a little strange. When he met Ms. Lu in the Konghe Division, why didn't he notice that she had such a unique pair of eyes?

"What's wrong? We don't know each other anymore?" Ms. Lu waved her hand and asked everyone to leave. Only she and Gu Zhao were left in the tent.

Gu Zhao looked into her eyes and praised, "I have never noticed before that Sister Lu, your eyes are so special."

Miss Lu touched the corners of her eyes and asked, "Really? Is there anything special?"

Gu Zhao bent his eyes and smiled and said, "I can't describe it, I can't describe it in words." After saying that, Gu Zhao followed Miss Lu and found a chair next to her and sat down, "I haven't thanked Sister Lu in person for her advice. , His Majesty’s summons just now scared me so much that I was sweating profusely.”
