While Lin Junting was in pain and confusion in the alley, Gu Zhao had already stepped into the gate of the palace.

"Gu Aiqing, hurry up and settle down." The new owner of the palace sat on the top and showed his authority in a calm tone.

Although Qin Youzhen has not held a formal throne ceremony and has not yet changed the era to update, he has accepted the courtesy of all civil and military officials. His status has been determined, and he is no longer the prince who was terrified and confused by Emperor Shouzheng and He Zheng.

Gu Zhao knew that he had witnessed the ferocity of the prince slaughtering his brothers at that time and was forced into a corner. Now Qin Youzhen would definitely not have any good feelings when he saw him.

So although Qin Youzhen was very generous and friendly, she did not relax at all.

"This is not a matter of official response, why should Gu Aiqing be so nervous?" Qin Youzhen laughed, "Today, I'm searching the Duke Li's Mansion, I heard that Lin Weikang's wife is very disrespectful to you?"

Gu Zhao smiled bitterly, "I don't know why. Although we are obviously a biological mother and daughter, we have never been together. Meeting is like enemies."

Qin Youzhen looked at Gu Zhao with interest, "I heard that you scolded her so hard that you vomited blood."

Gu Zhao bowed and said, "The weak minister was frightened."

"A traitor and criminal woman is so arrogant when facing the imperial officials. Even if she beat her to death on the spot, she was not afraid." Qin Youzhen waved her hand, "You have nothing to do with her in terms of etiquette and law. You are tolerant and generous enough to be able to spare her life."

Gu Zhao didn't know what he meant by saying this, so he could only nod.

"I have said more than once that I like Gu Aiqing's personality, but it's still the same."

"If it is someone else, who is afraid of impeachment by censors and others' discussions, even if you have countless unfairness in your heart, you have to endure it and pretend to be public and forget yourself."

"Only Gu Aiqing, you have such a true nature, love and hate, and never hide your attitude. Just like last time, if Gu Aiqing hadn't taken down Lin Weikang, he might have made his conspiracy successful, causing war to rise again and suffer the people."

"I will never forget this credit."

Speaking of this, Qin Youzhen changed the subject and began to ask who was arrested in Duke Li's mansion.

"So, Lin Weikang sent his concubine and a pair of children in advance, and his only legitimate son happened to have not returned outside the city?"

Gu Zhao bowed, "That's true. Except for several people in other places, the Lin family has been arrested. Those who have direct relationship with Lin Weikang have not been arrested."

Qin Youzhen glanced at Gu Zhao and said, "Gu Aiqing thinks, can these four people be caught?"

Gu Zhao replied coldly, as if these people had nothing to do with her. "Report to Your Majesty, Lin Weikang's concubine Jiang and his two children, the Crane Gunshi, had already been arrested a few days ago. Before the house was raided today, I had already received news that they had been arrested and would be taken back to the capital soon."

"As for Lin Weikang's legitimate son Lin Junting, I have sent someone to post wanted documents at the gate of Shangjing City, and painted and pictures to various prefectures and counties. It will be sooner or later for a playboy like him to be discovered."

When I came out of the palace, it was already dark.

Gu Zhao looked up at the stars in the sky, stepped out of the palace gate, and rode away.

At the same time, under the same stars, Lin Junting was squatting at the entrance of the alley on the side of the road, protruding his head and mind to pay attention to the movements on the road.

He had just walked in a daze for a long time, and when he woke up, he found that he had walked unknowingly near his friend Jiang Xiaoyu's house.

Jiang Xiaoyu is Huaiyuan's youngest son, one year younger than Lin Junting and grew up with him since childhood.

The relationship between the two is so good that they can wear a pair of pants.

At this time of great change, Lin Junting habitually walked to his house.

Thinking of Jiang Xiaoyu’s friendship with him, Lin Junting felt aroused in his heart, as if the traveler who had traveled thousands of miles in the dark wilderness saw the lights ahead.

He couldn't wait to see his friend, to tell his pain to his friend, to get his friend's comfort and company, and to hear his friend's advice...

Lin Junting was hunting with Jiang Xiaoyu and others outside the city, and was stopped by the accused of Tsurushi and informing him of not going back and flying away.

In a panic, he left them and ran back. According to Lin Junting's understanding of them, they must come back tonight, and ask Lin Junting what happened.

The sound of horse hooves and talking came from outside the alley. Lin Junting pricked up his ears and heard Jiang Xiaoyu's familiar voice.

"I only caught two pheasants today, and turned around and pulled the hair on my tail to make shuttlecocks for my younger sister..."

Lin Junting smiled at the corner of his mouth. This kid is still thinking about pheasant feather shuttlecock.

He stretched out his head to look around. No one else came out of the alley, stood on the side of the road and waved to the group, "Brother Yu, Brother Yu!"

"You, you, Brother Lin?" The young man in the middle of the team turned over and dismounted, looked at Lin Junting under the torch for a long time before recognizing him, "Why do you look like this?"
