Miss Lu looked at Gu Zhao's wary eyes, smiled and shook her head, and walked in first without making a sound.

Gu Zhao only hesitated for a moment, then changed his mind, put away the Emei thorns, and followed.

If Madam Lu wanted to harm her, this method would be too risky - Gu Zhao was not the only one who broke into the imperial tent.

Both of them slowed down their steps. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of them, and it was obviously coming towards them.

Gu Zhao frowned and paused, then saw the man nodded and gestured to Ms. Lu.

She was relieved for a moment, but she didn't expect that this eunuch was also Miss Lu's person.

I didn’t expect that Ms. Lu, who usually kept a low profile in the Control He Division, would be so secretive. This is the boss!

Ms. Lu quietly moved forward a few steps, then turned back and waved to Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao walked over quickly, and Miss Lu gently held her shoulders and pushed her to a curtain that fell to the ground.

The curtain is translucent, and the hazy objects inside are vaguely visible, giving the entire hall a mysterious color.

Gu Zhao looked out from the gap in the curtain and happened to see Emperor Shouzheng leaning tiredly on the back of the dragon chair in the middle of the imperial tent from the side.

He was thin and thin, like an old man in his twilight years, completely losing his former aura. In front of him, the prince lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, but his hands were clenched tightly, as if he was very tolerant.

From Gu Zhao's angle, he could clearly see the profiles of the two people. The expressions of the father and son were actually very similar. They both looked haggard but had firm eyes.

"What are you still thinking about?" Emperor Shouzheng's old and feeble voice sounded in the imperial tent, and the hoarse reverberation echoed in the empty imperial tent.

"Could it be that you really have a crush on Gu Zhao?"

With the coolness of an emperor, he sarcastically said, "No matter how many shortcomings Gu Zhao has, at least she has a clear mind and has never been confused by the high-hanging fruit of the Crown Princess."

"Even when I tested her just now, she still said that she is not worthy of being a crown princess. From this point of view, Gu Zhao still has some self-awareness."

"Unlike you, you have forgotten your identity in just one day."

"If I don't die, you will only be the prince, not the emperor. You are so impatient to deal with your brother, which makes me very disappointed."

Not far away, Gu Zhao's face turned dark when he heard these words, and he cursed in his heart, what does it have to do with her and her father and son fighting here? Just step on your son, so what does it mean to drag her along?

Oh, she grew up among the people, so she should be brainless and greedy?

These people named Qin are really more arrogant than the other. No matter how polite they are on their faces, they actually look down on others at all in their hearts!

Hearing this, the prince raised his head, his eyes full of grievances, and his cold eyes dimmed a bit, "Father, I did not deal with them!"

"King Cheng was imprisoned because he broke out of the city at night, colluded with Huo Nianzu, and instigated a rebellion among the imperial guards. I had no choice but to deal with him!"

"As for Prince Jing and Prince Liang, I'm just afraid that they will disturb my father's recuperation, so I don't dare to let them get close to you without permission. This is for the good of my father and the two of them."

When Emperor Shouzheng heard that the prince was still arguing, he was about to scold him back, but suddenly he coughed violently, his body started to tremble, and his whole old face turned red from holding back.

It seems that the next second, I will cough myself out of the sky.

The prince quickly stepped forward with concern and asked nervously, "Father, father, how are you?"

Just when he was about to approach Emperor Shouzheng, a figure suddenly emerged from the corner and stood in front of him.

The one with gray hair and holding a whisk is Wang Zhong.

The prince's eyes suddenly brightened slightly, and a murderous intention flashed in his eyes. Then he returned to his normal state. He quietly watched Wang Zhong beat Emperor Shouzheng's back with no expression on his face, held a spittoon, and served him carefully.

Gu Zhao saw the murderous intent in the prince's eyes, but he didn't know whether his murderous intent was aimed at Wang Zhong or Emperor Shouzheng.

Gu Zhao turned around and glanced at Ms. Lu. Ms. Lu just smiled faintly, continued to hold her shoulders, and winked at her playfully, as if to say, let her continue reading.

Gu Zhao's eyes flickered. He felt that Miss Lu was being too intimate with him, and his scalp instantly went numb. Could it be that she liked women as much as Princess Xianning? She couldn't be so unlucky, right?

Emperor Shouzheng took a breath and waved his hand tiredly, and Wang Zhong disappeared again silently.

He glanced at the prince, his eyes full of dissatisfaction, "He is just a eunuch slave. If you don't like him, you can just kill him later. Is there any need to be angry with yourself like this?"

I don't know what he thought of, but Emperor Shouzheng's face suddenly became extremely gloomy. This expression coupled with his current sallow complexion made him look a little more lifeless.

He looked at the prince's angry look and sighed, as if he was disappointed.

"I pretended to be comatose this time just to let those hiding in the dark jump out. Lin Weikang jumped out, but you were unprepared."

"I have arranged for the people from the Control He Division to deal with the rebels. How good of you is that you listened to the instigation of those three old guys and immediately suspended the people."

"Didn't Ms. Lu show you my token? Why would you rather believe in Dong Hua and the others than in Kong Hesi? Have you really ruined your brain by studying and thinking that those Confucians who claim to learn from the sages are more powerful than hawks and dogs?"

Trustworthy?"

Emperor Shouzheng became more and more angry as he spoke. He trembled his fingers and asked the prince sternly, poking and poking.

"If it hadn't happened that Lin Weikang pushed Gu Zhao too hard and was angered by Gu Zhao and arrested you, I'll see how you ended up!"

"When the time comes, your life may not be guaranteed, will you still be in the mood to deal with your brother?"

This tantrum caused Emperor Shouzheng to cough violently again and bend over like a shrimp sneezing in hot water. Wang Zhong immediately came over and beat his back to clear the phlegm, a very skilled move.

Gu Zhao pursed his lips slightly behind the curtain, which showed that Emperor Shouzheng's health had long been a problem, and now it was only getting more serious.

It seems that he was really injured during the ambush. Although it was not serious enough to be unconscious, it still caused further damage to Emperor Shouzheng's already old body.

The prince was so scolded that he was sweating. He seemed to be scolded very obediently without any rebuttal, as if he was a filial and qualified son.

But from Gu Zhao's perspective, we can still see the stubbornness and unwillingness hidden in his eyes.

Although Emperor Shouzheng couldn't see the prince's face, how could he not notice the conflict beneath his son's obedience for so many years?

He became more and more disappointed and felt that the prince could not shoulder his great responsibility.

It's not that the emperor can't be selfish, but he must weigh the priorities and balance the government and the opposition. When it's time to endure, even if a knife pierces his heart, he must endure it. When the opportunity is ripe, he can strike with thunder and kill him painfully.

The prince has been taught by him for so many years, but he has only learned to "kill with pain" and has not learned to be patient and dormant.

Emperor Shouzheng really had nothing to say to the prince. The prince had already fallen into a trap and would not wake up no matter how hard he said it.

He closed his eyes weakly, turned his pale lips, and uttered the word "Get out."
