As expected, the eyes of several princes were filled with deep displeasure, and even two princes stared at him inscrutably, obviously preparing to settle accounts with him next.
Long Lin couldn't even cry. He couldn't tell that Chaoli deliberately dragged him into the water and attracted the anger of several princes towards Gu Hanzhang.
It's too much, it's simply too much. He is still Chaoli's brother, but Chaoli did this to him because of Gu Hanzhang!
"Well, since you all have something to say, you can go to my Lingering Garden." Long Lin showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
Qiu Shuang looked at Long Lin with some worry, and Long Lin shook his head at her.
Seeing this, Qiu Shuang said nothing and just followed Long Lin silently.
The conversation between the few people didn't say anything secret. Although Gu Xiyue didn't understand it very well, she understood that they probably had something important to say.
However, they decided to go to Liuyuan, but Gu Xiyue didn't want to go.
"Brother, sister-in-law, you go and chat. I want to go back first. I'm a little tired today." Gu Xiyue whispered.
Chaoli understood Gu Xiyue's thoughts and knew that she was forcing herself to give up on Long Lin. What's more, being plotted by Shen Lianyi today had a great impact on her heart and she should have a good rest.
What's more, these things have nothing to do with her, and it's not good for her to hear them. It's best to let her go back.
"Okay, you go back first, I'll ask Pei Qian to see you off secretly," Chao Li said.
"It doesn't matter, Cheng Feng is here too, I'll just ask him to send Yue'er back together." Gu Hanzhang said.
Gu Xiyue nodded, "I understand, sister-in-law, I'll go back first."
Having said this, Gu Xiyue and several others nodded slightly, then turned and left.
Cheng Feng heard what Gu Hanzhang said just now, and he had no intention of getting involved between Gu Hanzhang and the princes, so he quickly left with Gu Xiyue and sent her back first.
The princes had no objections and followed Long Lin to the Lingering Garden.
Not long after, several carriages stopped outside the Liuyuan Garden.
Everyone got off the carriage and were taken by Long Lin to the elegant room of Tianzihao. It was the same room where Long Lin had cheated Shen Lianyi of five hundred taels.
The private room was very large, so there was no problem for them to sit down. Long Lin also ordered Qiu Shuang to prepare tea and cakes.
It's just that he doesn't want to stay here for a moment.
"Well, I'm going to see if it's okay to prepare tea and snacks for you. You guys can chat first."
With that said, Long Lin planned to run away again.
However, as soon as he took a step, Gu Hanzhang pinched his neck.
"Don't worry, the servants will prepare on their own. It's not your turn as the boss to prepare it yourself." Gu Hanzhang's voice was cold and cold.
Long Lin had no choice but to sit down slowly.
The second prince coughed lightly and looked at Chaoli.
"Prince Princess, have you ever noticed that you look somewhat similar to a few of us? We met at a palace banquet before, and I thought it was a coincidence that there were similar people. But after some investigation, I found out that it was It's not that simple. If I guessed correctly, your mother is my eldest sister, the eldest princess of Xilin. It's a pity that we haven't been able to see her in the past few days."
"The prince has already told me about this matter, but my mother has not confirmed it yet, and there is no news from my grandfather. Therefore, I would like to ask the princes not to be anxious about this matter, and wait until the truth comes out." Chaoli Speak slowly.
Her voice was very soft at this moment, but it contained a firmness, which made it difficult for the princes to say anything.
At that moment, Qiu Shuang brought cakes and tea, and carefully closed the door for them.
Gu Hanzhang took Chaoli to sit down and poured her a cup of tea.
"Be careful of hot hands."
The tea had just been brewed and was still a little hot. Although Gu Hanzhang had let it dry for a while, he was afraid of the cold, so he gave this reminder.
The seventh prince rolled his eyes, "The prince is really good at putting on airs!"
The other five princes did not speak, but their eyes clearly expressed approval of their seventh son.
Gu Hanzhang looked calm, "I wonder what the princes want to say?"
The fourth prince smiled gently, his brows seemed to be full of smiles, but his eyes were a little cold.
"Your Majesty, you should know the purpose of us brothers coming here. To be honest, before setting off, we also issued a military order to the Queen Mother, and we must find the eldest sister. In fact, we didn't have much idea at the beginning, and we were not sure whether we could find her.
Eldest sister, but now we have definitely found the person. Now that we have found the eldest sister, we will naturally bring him back to Xilin. We also know something about the eldest sister. That thing called Chaolu is not worthy of us.
Eldest sister, it doesn’t matter anyway.”
The fourth prince scolded Chao Lu, but Chao Li didn't care.
"Yes, my mother has reconciled with him and has nothing to do with him now. If going to Xilin is a good thing, I won't stop my mother and will even go with her. But now, Xilin has an unofficial appointment
Princess, even if my mother is really the eldest princess, I'm afraid she won't have a good life if she goes back. In that case, why do you have to go back? Isn't it good to be here?" Chaoli asked in return.
Several princes were stunned, maybe they didn't expect Chaoli to know this.
But looking at Gu Hanzhang and Long Lin beside them, they felt that it was not so difficult to understand.
With Long Lin here, he will definitely tell these things, and Gu Hanzhang will also verify everything clearly.
"Before the Mother Emperor found the eldest sister, she did have the idea to choose a successor to the future Queen. However, this person's behavior made the Mother Emperor very unhappy, so she did not make a decree. Even if it was
Before we left, the Mother Emperor did not issue an order. She thought in her mind that we could find the eldest sister in Daqi." The second prince replied.
After hearing what he said, Chaoli and Gu Hanzhang also understood what the current situation in Xilin was like.
The Queen has always cared about the safety of the eldest princess in her heart. Even if she is not found, she will not easily give her place to others.
Unless, she has reached the point where she has no other choice.
But now, she can still hold on, so no choice has been made for the princess.
Unfortunately, this result did not make Gu Hanzhang feel relieved, but made him even more uneasy!
Queen Xilin never gave up her idea, she wanted to find the eldest princess!
"I see, but even so, if my mother goes back, she will definitely become the target of public criticism. My mother has long been unclear about everything about Xilin. She is just a woman raised in the back house, and she doesn't know anything about it at all.
Maybe she understands those decisions. In this way, there will definitely be objections in Xilin when the time comes, not to mention that my mother actually has no idea of becoming the queen." Chaoli said matter-of-factly.
In fact, the princes all understood it, but they just didn't want to accept it in their hearts.
