Gu Zhao could hear these whispers clearly.

But she didn't feel timid at all, she still straightened her back, as if taking a leisurely stroll, and followed the little eunuch towards her seat.

Looking at where Gu Zhao was heading, the discussion in the lobby became louder.

"Is she...that empty seat is reserved for her?"

"This is impossible! What qualifications does a female officer of the Crane Control Division have to sit in such a front position!"

"How unreasonable! How unreasonable! I'm so angry! Isn't there no superior or inferior in this court?"

In the corner, a few old men with gray beards who were still low-level officials almost stared out their eyes and spitted on each other's faces.

All this is because the empty seat that Gu Zhao is walking towards is second only to the cabinet bachelors. Although he is not among the civil and military officials, but is in the front of the noble team, he has already surpassed most of the men present.

.

Why doesn't this make them filled with indignation and resentment?

The louder the discussion, the more obvious the curvature of the corners of Gu Zhao's mouth became.

Apart from making people laugh, what value do these incompetent and angry people have?

If he was afraid of being discriminated against by others, Gu Zhao would have become the Crown Princess or Princess Li!

After experiencing so many changes, Gu Zhao's will is as firm as iron, which cannot be disturbed by the buzzing of mosquitoes and flies.

She walked majestically through the crowd of officials, walked to an empty seat, and sat down confidently.

The young eunuch bowed to her and left, and Gu Zhao gave him a piece of broken silver to express his gratitude.

The moment Gu Zhao sat down, the discussion in the lobby dropped for a moment, but then it rose again. Many people even started to point at Gu Zhao, and their expressions became even more ferocious.

Gu Zhao pretended that they did not exist, leaned back on the chair very naturally, stretched his legs, and began to look around.

The first person to jump into Gu Zhao's sight was Qin Youjin, who turned to look at Gu Zhao stiffly in front of him.

The way he looked at Gu Zhao was as if he had seen a ghost.

Gu Zhao snorted in his heart, this scumbag is actually still alive? Qin Youzhen was really able to restrain himself and didn't kill him?

You know, back in Yuxian Tower, Qin Youjin not only offended Lin Xuerong, but also openly claimed that he was the future emperor of Bei'an.

If such a person can survive to this day, Qin Youzhen is really a good person.

"You, you, Gu Zhao, aren't you dead?" Qin Youjin asked stammering.

Gu Zhao gave him a roll of eyes.

Even if you die, I won't die!

Although she didn't say it out loud, miraculously, Qin Youjin understood what she meant and his face turned red. He didn't know if he was angry.

Seeing Qin Youjin like this, Gu Zhao's mood immediately improved.

"Prince Xinyang, looking at your appearance now, you must have been having a hard time these past few years, right?" Gu Zhao's position was right behind Qin Youjin, so he didn't need to speak loudly for Qin Youjin to hear him clearly.

She can even see the details on Qin Youjin's body clearly

Qin Youjin's clothes looked brand new, but the creases on them were very clear, indicating that the clothes had been stacked for a long time, and no one had ironed them before wearing them;

The color of the hosta on Qin Youjin's head is not bad, but there is a small gap in the pattern of the hosta, which may be caused by a bump. Most people can't see it without close eyesight, but Gu Zhao discovered it at a glance;

Qin Youjin's face was even more unhealthy and sallow, and the way he looked around was filled with fear and timidity, almost exactly the same as when Gu Zhao first met him in his previous life;

The shoes on Qin Youjin's feet were exposed from the corners of his robe when he moved slightly, and the embroidery on the shoes was already tattered in several places...

Everything shows that Qin Youjin's life has been very unsatisfactory in the past few years.

He was very poor and had little food, clothing or sleep. The servants in the palace must not be too dedicated, and he must have encountered obstacles everywhere, which made his incompetent and cowardly nature exposed again.

Qin Youjin gritted his teeth and glared at Gu Zhao hatefully, "You, how could you say that to me!"

That’s all for others, Gu Zhao is his wife!

Seeing his current predicament, shouldn't Gu Zhao feel sad and try his best to plan for him?

Gu Zhao did not hide his gloating at all, "Of course I can say that to you. And I can continue to say it."

She raised her eyebrows at Qin Youjin and said, "Prince Xinyang, seeing that you are not doing well makes me feel particularly good."

With a puff, the people beside him laughed.

Gu Zhao turned around and looked at the person next to him. It turned out to be Duke Yong, oh no, he should be called Marquis Yongyi now, Huo Qiushan.

"Hello, Mr. Hou, I haven't seen you for many years. Mr. Hou's demeanor has not changed."

Gu Zhao cupped his fists and greeted Huo Qiushan.

Huo Qiushan smiled and returned the greeting, "Master Gu is even more charming. It seems that Master Gu has been living a good life in the past few years."

Gu Zhao secretly laughed in his heart, why don't Huo Qiushan and Qin Youjin deal with each other? This was obviously a stab at Qin Youjin following her words.

Gu Zhao and Huo Qiu Shan had never known each other before. Gu Zhao had gotten to know Huo Qiu Shan during his interrogation of the prince's poisoning case.

Huo Qiushan was the crown prince of Duke Yong at that time. Duke Yong and Duke Li were the only two remaining founding dukes at that time, but they no longer exist today.

However, Duke Yong's Palace was luckier than Duke Li's Palace, because Duke Yong, as the father-in-law of King Cheng, drew a clear line with his son in time.

The Huo family was divided into two camps with completely opposite positions. Some led the army to support King Cheng's rebellion, while the other led the army to support the crown prince's ascension to the throne.

After the crown prince's victory, the Huo family who followed King Cheng were beheaded and exiled. However, the Huo family led by Huo Qiushan was demoted because of their misdeeds, and Duke Yong was turned into a Marquis of Yongyi.

Preserved their lineage.
