King Li was the same as the few times he had seen Gu Zhao. He was still wearing a black cloak, an evil ghost mask, and his eyes were blood red.

He stood in the room, turned around, and said in a hoarse voice, "Master Gu, please take a seat."

Gu Zhao suppressed the nervousness in his heart, saluted King Li, and sat aside in a dignified manner.

The person who brought the tea was still a male servant, but he was younger and looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Gu Zhao glanced at him.

A servant of this age has obviously never been on the battlefield. Maybe he is the child of a veteran?

From this point of view, this prince may not be as cruel and cold-blooded as popular rumors say...

"Ahem."

The voice coming from above made Gu Zhao put aside the thought that flashed in his mind, raised his head and looked at the person on the throne seriously, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I am here to visit you today. There is some news."

I need to inform the prince."

Qin Xinglie frowned slightly, feeling depressed.

She finally waited until Gu Zhao came to the door, but as soon as she came in, the little woman's eyes stayed on the boy serving tea and water...

Thinking about how caring she has been for Yuan Fu from the beginning, does she just like this young-looking boy?

Qin Xinglie lowered his head and looked at his black cloak, which stayed the same all year round. Maybe this outfit was a bit too dull?

He pinched his fingers unconsciously and said, "What's the news?"

As soon as the words came out, Qin Xinglie felt that his throat seemed to be too tight.

He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, staring at Gu Zhao closely.

Gu Zhao's body couldn't help but stiffen - the eyes of King Li opposite him were particularly aggressive, as if some ferocious beast had discovered its prey.

She had the illusion that the tall figure opposite would pounce at any moment, stretch out his tiger claws, hold her under his claws and manipulate her.

Gu Zhao suddenly understood why the carriages and horses in front of Prince Li's mansion were deserted and there was not a single guest at all.

She endured her uneasiness and stated in detail what she had asked Zhong Ming today.

"Sir Dian said that the prince is the pillar of the country and must not fall into the trap of the enemy. So I asked the subordinate to come and report to the prince so that he can be prepared."

Qin Xinglie said in a calm tone, "Since I took action, I naturally thought about the consequences."

Based on his understanding of Emperor Shouzheng, if those censors impeached Gu Zhao, Emperor Shouzheng would not protect Gu Zhao at all, even if Gu Zhao saved the prince, even if Gu Zhao was loyal to Bei'an.

But now, in the relationship between Bei'an and Donghao, Donghao has the upper hand.

If the Donghao delegation takes the opportunity to exert pressure, perhaps Gu Zhao will be thrown out as a victim by Emperor Shouzheng.

Qin Xinglie twitched the corners of his mouth mockingly behind the mask.

His Majesty has never been a person who cares about affection.

If he steps forward and kills more members of the mission, no one will keep an eye on Gu Zhao.

As for the consequences, Qin Xinglie looked cold. Is there anything he has not tasted?

Gu Zhao was silent for a moment, feeling that what needed to be said had been said.

She stood up and bowed, "In this case, I will not disturb the prince anymore."

Wang Li has made it this far, and his ability to protect himself is definitely much stronger than hers.

As for how they would respond, their relationship was not that close, so she was not qualified to ask.

Qin Xinglie stood up suddenly, raised his feet and came to Gu Zhao, startling her, her eyes widened slightly, and she couldn't help but take a step back.

Two people, one tall and one short, stood opposite each other. The distance was only a short distance, but the atmosphere was somewhat solid.

Gu Zhao tried his best to relax his body and put on a standard and friendly smile on his face to prevent the people in front of him from misunderstanding. "Do you have any other orders, Your Majesty? Or, do you have anything to tell me to bring to Lord Dian?"

When Qin Xinglie heard that she had pulled Dian Fengnian out, he knew that his actions should have scared her.

There was no way, the step just now didn't go through the mind at all, the body reacted directly.

He didn't want her to leave. This was the first time Gu Zhao came to his palace. Qin Xinglie wanted to accompany her for a walk in the palace, so he subconsciously stepped forward to stop her when she was about to leave.

Qin Xinglie stepped back, feeling that Gu Zhao's breath had become much calmer, his clenched hands relaxed, and he felt like laughing again.

Gu Zhao's appearance in front of his two identities, King Li and Yuan Fu, was completely different.

She didn't know that both Yuan Fu and King Li were holding her tightly to their hearts, wishing that no wind or rain would enter her world...

"I heard that Master Gu has always claimed to admire me." Qin Xinglie put his hands behind his back, looked down at Gu Zhao's cheeks and blushed little by little, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.

Seeing Gu Zhao rolling his eyes but not answering, Qin Xinglie became even more interested and started to circle around Gu Zhao step by step.

"This is what Master Zi Hedian said to this king. Could it be that he, an old man, is lying?"

Heavy footsteps came behind Gu Zhao, and the tall figure was too close, giving Gu Zhao a strong sense of oppression.

Gu Zhao only felt that his cheeks were hot and his ears were warm, and he couldn't help but agree with Qin Xinglie's evaluation of Dian Fengnian.

That’s such an old man!

In this case, how can it be passed on to another party?

But today, she still has to come to deliver a message. Doesn't this make her fall into a trap?

Gu Zhao rolled his eyes. Looking at it this way, why did he feel that this old Buxiu had deliberately arranged it?

"The prince conquered the northern border, swept across the grassland, and brought stability and peace to the northern territory for decades. In Bei'an Kingdom, there are as many people who admire the prince as crucian carp crossing the river, and it's not just Gu Zhao."

Gu Zhao blushed and explained forcefully, but the trembling in her voice still revealed her embarrassment and nervousness.
