"Ms. Shu, Zhao Zhao wants to eat. I'll eat cakes later. Do you want to eat together, M. M. Shu?"

Although Gu Zhaozhao was very hungry, he secretly swallowed his saliva when he smelled the pastries.

But she still held back and did not reach out to take it.

Xun Qianmian was stunned for a moment, lowering her eyes and looking at that soft and cute face. She was stunned for a moment, and then she moved the corner of her mouth in embarrassment.

"Since Zhaozhao is about to eat, I won't bother you. Empress Shu will come see you another day."

As she spoke, her delicate fingers gently touched Gu Zhaozhao's soft face.

Suddenly, a chill penetrated from my face directly into my heart.

Gu Zhaozhao moved back due to Bing's instinct, "Thank you, Queen Shu."

Lady Shu’s hands are so cold, like ice cubes.

Xunqianmian turned around and left Ningluxuan with a faint smile on his lips.

Standing at the door, she looked back at Ningluxuan, and the smile on her face suddenly became weird and unpredictable.

"Your Majesty, this Sixth Princess is really ignorant. You personally selected so many things and sent them over, but she didn't even look at them. She was just putting on an air. I think this is..."

"Shut up!"

A stern look was cast at her, which frightened the palace maid next to her into silence and bowed her head deeply.

"Princess, you can't criticize me. You should talk less and do more things around me, otherwise you will know the consequences."

Xun Qianmian's soft voice contained a bit of frightening chill, causing the palace maid next to her to break out in a cold sweat.

"Slave, please remember your Majesty's instructions."

Gu Zhaozhao sat on the chair, pulling his head hard and looking out.

Until Xun Qianmian's voice was no longer heard, she reached out suddenly, grabbed a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth.

“It’s delicious~”

Gu Zhaozhao's little fleshy face was so stuffed that he felt one piece with his left hand and one piece with his right hand.

Apart from anything else, the pastries brought by Lady Shu are really delicious.

But it was much better than what she had eaten at Ganxisi.

Thinking of his deceased uncle, the little guy's eating movements suddenly slowed down.

Looking down at the delicate pastry in my hand, my big eyes became a little sore.

My uncle has never tasted such good food. Some empress or mistress rewarded it in the past.

The uncle was reluctant to eat all of them, so he brought them all back for himself.

"Royal sister, what's wrong, but this pastry doesn't taste good?"

Gu Jinglan looked at Gu Zhaozhao who suddenly stopped moving, quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to her with concern.

The little guy suddenly raised his head, a pair of bright black eyes filled with crystal light,

"Third brother, there must be many people around you who love you, right?"

There was a master in the past and an uncle later, but she would never see them again.

The little dumpling had residue hanging from the corner of his mouth, and his chubby face was rounded by the pastries.

The Nuonuo ball's eyes are filled with expectation and grievance at the moment, and he looks like a cute cat.

Gu Jinglan was stunned, and his heart suddenly twitched.

He slowly sat next to Gu Zhaozhao, stretched out his hand to wipe away the residue on her face, "Zhaozhao is also loved by many people.

There is me, my father, and the empress Shu just now.

You don’t even know that I have never seen Empress Shu treat any prince so tenderly.”

Gu Zhaozhao swallowed the food in his mouth and looked at Gu Jinglan gratefully with his big eyes shining with crystal starlight.

"Third brother, you are so kind. Zhaozhao has never had a brother hurt me before."

Gu Jinglan was amused by her words and laughed out loud, but he felt extremely distressed in his heart.

It's his fault for this. He knew that there was a sister in the palace, but why didn't he think of going over to see how she was doing?

She has suffered so many years for nothing.

"Brother will love you from now on, Zhao Zhao can rest assured."

He stroked the little guy's furry head lovingly, his eyes full of endearment.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Gu Zhaozhao with a somewhat complicated look, "Zhaozhao, you... you should have less contact with Empress Shu in the future."

Gu Zhaozhao grabbed the pastry with one hand and pulled Gu Jinglan to the seat next to him with the other hand, "Why, third brother?"

She moved closer to Gu Jinglan, staring at him motionless with her big eyes flashing.

Gu Jinglan hesitated to speak and looked at Danxia and the palace maids who were busy around him.

Danxia understood immediately, and then called the palace people to retreat.

Gu Jinglan then lowered his voice and leaned close to Gu Zhaozhao's ear, "Zhaozhao, there are some things that the emperor should not have said to you, but now that you are living in the palace, you still need to know something."

Seeing Gu Jinglan's confused look, Gu Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows slightly.

She walked closer to the soft chair behind her and stuffed a piece of cake in her hand into her mouth.

"Does it mean that my mother, who died young, harmed Empress Shu?"

Xiaotuanzi's feet were swinging gently on the chair, looking unconcerned.

Gu Jinglan's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Gu Zhaozhao in surprise, "You know everything?"

Gu Zhaozhao's pink cheeks were bulging, and he stretched out his little hands to grab the pastries on the table again.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jinglan pushed the plate out with force, "Eat less, you will have lunch later, be careful of damaging your teeth."

Gu Zhaozhao's white and tender little hand stopped in mid-air.

She pouted, glanced at Gu Jinglan and sat back in the chair obediently, "I'm a child, not a fool, of course I know."

She rolled her eyes helplessly, but still couldn't help but ask, "Third brother, actually I only know that my mother has a grudge against Empress Shu. What is going on?"

Last time, the bad girl just said a few words casually, and she didn't know exactly what happened.

Gu Jinglan frowned, hesitated slightly, and slammed the table with his palm, "Okay, I'll tell you."

"Zhaozhao, you know, your mother is the apple of Taishi Duan's eye. Back then, she loved her father so much that she was finally sent to the palace.

She could have had a bright future, but...but Miss Ying..."

Gu Jinglan stuttered and stopped talking. He looked at Gu Zhaozhao with a slightly tangled look.

After all, she is Zhaozhao's mother-in-law, so it doesn't seem right to speak ill of her like this.

But Gu Zhaozhao didn't care at all, and instead stared at Gu Jinglan expectantly.

"What happened next? Was my mother jealous of Empress Shu, so what did she do?"

Now that she had guessed it, Gu Jinglan could only nod silently.

"That's probably it. Empress Shu is a childhood sweetheart who grew up with her father. Although her father treats her no differently than an ordinary empress, he always asks a few more questions.

But Empress Ying took the wrong path because of this difference between her father and the emperor. She actually gave Empress Shu a decoction to prevent her from having children, causing her body to be injured so that she would no longer be able to have children. She even... went so far as to poke her eyes out."

Gu Jinglan carefully looked at Gu Zhaozhao and found that her expression did not change, so he continued talking,

"At that time, my father originally wanted to execute Empress Ying, but Empress Ying was already pregnant with Liujia, so she spared her life, but who knew..."

"Who would have thought that I would still die in the palace, and I would crawl out of the coffin in the end, right?"

Gu Zhaozhao's sweet and soft voice was extremely calm, but Gu Jinglan's ears were extremely heart-piercing.
