Rebirth: The flatterer prince I raised couldn't be so clingy

If you were to ask how Gu Qingzhi woke up, it must be that she was woken up by the sound of Wu Fang banging on the door early in the morning.

"Your Highness! Third Prince, are you awake yet? I have something to report to you."

He seemed to have no awareness of disturbing people's dreams and continued to knock on the door tirelessly.

After a while, as if seeing no movement in the room, the voice stopped for a moment and then rang again: "Guard Gu! Guard Gu!"

Gu Qingzhi slept on the edge of the bed again last night. At this moment, she felt like her entire back was not her own.

Seeing that the young man on the bed was not woken up, she straightened her stiff back and sat up from the bed, rubbing her eyebrows that were twitching due to Wu Fang's noise, and wondered how this guy could be so noisy.

She took a deep breath, opened the door and walked out.

"Guard Wu, what's wrong?"

Wu Fang finally saw the person and hurried over. Seeing Gu Qingzhi yawning slowly and looking like she had just woken up, he couldn't help but feel resentful.

"No way! Brother Gu, how can you sleep while on duty? I guarded our master for the whole day yesterday, and he didn't even look at me once."

Seeing that he wasn't talking about serious matters, Gu Qingzhi really wanted to roll her eyes at him. He wouldn't wake him up so early in the morning just for this, right?

"Guards are not guards. They only need to ensure the safety of Your Highness. Your Highness will not make such strict demands."

Wu Fang scratched his head. "Ah? Is that so? I have never been to school, so don't lie to me!"

Gu Qingzhi looked at him, and the words "big fool" were almost written on his face. She nodded helplessly.

"Tsk tsk, what a loss. If I had known this would happen, I would have..."

"Just what?"

Wu Fang was about to say something when he was frightened by Feng Zhanye who appeared silently behind Gu Qingzhi.

In fact, he had been woken up a long time ago, but he just didn't want to pay attention to Wu Fang who was in a hurry early in the morning and kept lying on the ground.

"Nothing, nothing...hehe." Wu Fang smiled awkwardly.

Gu Qingzhi turned around and saw that Feng Zhanye was wearing thin clothes. Thinking that he had not yet recovered from his cold, she went back to the house, took out his cloak, and tied it on him carefully.

The pair of peach blossom eyes that had been looking at him impatiently just now, now softened a little as they looked at the guard.

Wu Fang looked at Feng Zhanye and felt even more unbalanced.

"You guys..." It's only been two nights, how come these two have become so close?

"It's not time to change shifts yet, so go back if you have nothing else to do."

Feng Zhanye didn't seem to like him very much. His narrow eyes were narrowed and there was a hint of indifference in his words.

Wu Fang curled his lips and didn't take his words seriously. Thinking of something serious, he spoke carelessly: "Your Highness, I passed by the door early in the morning and heard a woman outside asking for an audience. She was stopped by the palace army. She said she was here to serve you."

“Do you know that man’s name?” Feng Zhanye seemed to have some reservations. Hearing this, he was not happy at all, but his face was solemn.

Gu Qingzhi could actually understand it. A prince living alone in an unfamiliar house, and someone suddenly came to his door, anyone would be more vigilant.

"That person said she was your wet nurse. I don't know her name, but I know her last name is Liu."

Hearing this surname, Feng Zhanye’s eyes gradually widened and he ran towards the courtyard gate.

Seeing that he looked a little strange, Gu Qingzhi followed him.

Before they reached the door, the three heard the voice of an elderly woman, who seemed to be arguing with the palace soldiers at the door.

"I've already said that I'm here to serve His Highness. Which ear of yours has the problem?"

Hearing the voice, Feng Zhanye quickened his pace, ran to the gate of the courtyard, and ordered Wu Fang to open the bolt.

With a creaky sound, the door opened and everyone at the door was startled.

When the four palace soldiers in silver and black armor saw Feng Zhanye behind the door, they all took half a step back in fear.

"Your Highness Prince Duan, the Left Prime Minister said that you are not allowed to go out." A palace soldier who reacted a little faster saluted slightly to Feng Zhanye and looked at him warily.

Before he could say anything else, the old woman next to him rushed in in two steps.

"What are you doing? How can we allow a crazy woman like you to enter this important place?"

Four palace soldiers held their red-tasseled spears across their bodies to stop her.

"Your Highness, Third Prince, do you still remember this old servant?" Seeing that she could not get any closer to Feng Zhanye, the woman grabbed the raised spear, stretched her neck and shouted at him.

"Madam Liu."

Feng Zhanye's lips trembled slightly, he nodded gently, and called out the woman's name accurately.

The woman nodded in surprise and angrily looked at the guards who were blocking her. "See? I told you and you didn't believe me. Let me in!"

The palace soldiers looked at each other with disdain, but none of them dared to withdraw their hands. One of them ignored the woman and turned to look at Feng Zhanye and said:

"Lord Zuo Xiang is following His Majesty's orders. Your Highness should stand further away to avoid spreading evil spirits and harming innocent people like us."

"You! Cough cough cough cough..."

Feng Zhanye's face turned visibly pale; the palace soldier's words deeply hurt him.

He frowned, feeling a sense of depression for a moment, and the cold made it difficult for him to breathe, so his chest heaved violently and he started coughing.

Gu Qingzhi patted his back to help him calm down. Even Wu Fang couldn't stand it anymore and pointed at the four people and asked, "How can you talk like that?"

"You are a bunch of idiots who only know how to eat and work and are inflexible. How dare you look down on His Royal Highness Prince Duan? Pah!" Nanny Liu outside the door spat at the arrogant palace soldier.

The soldier looked at the water stains on his armor with his eyes wide open. "Old woman, I have tolerated you for a long time. If you continue to act unreasonably, don't blame me for being rude!"

Gu Qingzhi also understood that she naturally recognized the old lady Feng Zhanye, but the most urgent priority was to deal with these four palace soldiers first.

She patted the boy's shoulder gently and walked to the door under his gaze.

Seeing her getting closer and closer to the threshold, the faces of several palace soldiers gradually changed color and they hurriedly stopped her.

"Stop! Think carefully. If you come out, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Gu Qingzhi raised her eyes and recalled Aunt Qiruo's words yesterday morning. She already had an idea in her mind.

"Why can't I go out?" Gu Qingzhi asked knowingly.

"The gate has been closed. Do you want to disobey my order?" The palace soldier threatened.

"I only remember Aunt Qiruo saying that His Highness cannot go out, but did she say that the same applies to us servants?"

Gu Qingzhi was not in a hurry and slowly asked several people what she knew.

"This……"

Obviously not.

Several soldiers looked at each other, and none of them could say anything to refute.

"Or should we just leave His Highness alone in this house without going out to buy daily necessities?"

Gu Qingzhi took another step forward, and in front of her was the high threshold.

For a moment, everyone was speechless. Nanny Liu also understood Gu Qingzhi's meaning through these words and continued speaking.

"Open your dog eyes and see clearly. The one standing there is the current Third Prince, the son of the Emperor! If anything happens to him, will your lives be enough to compensate for it?"

"Don't tell me we have misunderstood the decree. Why don't you go to the front of the palace and ask if the emperor has this intention?" Gu Qingzhi and Madam Liu both played the good and bad cops in tacit understanding.

The faces of the four men turned pale and blue, and they were obviously frightened. They were just low-ranking palace soldiers who had never even entered the imperial city. How could they have the ability to ask questions in front of the emperor?

When the few people were in a stalemate, they saw a man walking over from not far away and whispering something in the ears of several palace soldiers. It seemed that Zuo Chengyu had already known about the movements in the villa and came to pass on the news.

Gu Qingzhi originally thought that the few people would expel Aunt Liu after receiving the order from their master, but unexpectedly, one of them said, "In that case, you go in quickly, close the gate, and stop making noise."

Finally, the guards gave in. Madam Liu rolled her eyes at the four of them, pushed aside the spear on her chest and walked into the room.

The door closed with a bang. Nanny Liu turned around and stared at Gu Qingzhi.
