The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.

Gu Mingzhao leaned lazily on the bed, pressing his aching temple with his slender fingers. He looked very relaxed, as if he had completely trusted Qingfeng.

He asked casually: "Qingfeng, please tell me about my past, such as my experiences, friends and enemies."

Qingfeng stood by the window and began to slowly tell the story of Gu Mingzhao's life experience.

"After Your Highness was born, Princess Hongye placed high hopes on you, hoping that you could revive Longyuan. She asked a maid from the clan to take you out of the palace to find other survivors of Longyuan. Then the maid took you to live in Jiangnan.

Until you were eight years old, your nanny passed away due to old age. Because of your outstanding appearance, you were deceived and imprisoned by people with ulterior motives, who planned to train you to be a male prostitute. It was also at that time that you met Ruyan.

Your Highness was born smart and resourceful. When you were fifteen and they were going to auction your virginity, you planned ahead and burned all the patrons in the brothel to death, escaping from that evil den."

"So, after killing people and setting fire, I was able to escape unscathed." Gu Mingzhao couldn't help but interrupt him.

"That's right, Your Highness has been a master of strategy since childhood. Later, you came to Qingzhou and took advantage of the Qingzhou prefect's admiration for you to change your household registration at the government office. You also used the prefect's relationship to study at the private school of Prime Minister Liao in the capital.

When you were studying at the Liao family, you were bullied because of your poor background. Before the spring examination this year, the daughter of the Liao family was worried that your talent would overshadow her brother, so she ordered others to break your legs and completely ruin your path to the imperial examination. It was at that time that I found you, taught you martial arts, and helped you to recognize Li Zheng.

Later, you were named the King of Qin by Li Zheng, and the daughter of the Liao family wanted to cling to power and asked Your Majesty to grant you a marriage. In order to avoid her, you asked to come to Jizhou to control the flood. "

Qing Feng lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Gu Mingzhao.

He has always been dissatisfied with the fact that His Highness attaches too much importance to that Central Plains woman.

He had also heard the rumors in the capital, so he decided to go all out and take this opportunity to separate them completely.

After listening to this, Gu Mingzhao frowned and said, "It seems that my life was not very satisfactory before."

Qing Feng knelt on one knee on the ground: "It is my incompetence that I did not find Your Highness earlier, causing you to suffer so much."

"It doesn't matter. There's no point talking about the past. Do you know who wanted to hurt me when I fell into the river this time?"

Qing Feng thought for a moment and said, "The scene was chaotic, and we couldn't find the person who pushed you. It was probably the Second Prince, the Third Prince, or Duke Zheng."

"No matter who it is, there should be follow-up actions. We still have to rely on you in the future." Gu Mingzhao patted Qingfeng's shoulder and said.

Qing Feng clasped his hands together and swore, "I swear to protect His Highness until my death!"

"Where are we now, and how can we get back to Jizhou?"

"We are in a forest in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, not far from Jizhou. The search and rescue soldiers should be able to find us tomorrow, and then Your Highness can go back." Qing Feng said.

"I understand. You can leave first." Gu Mingzhao waved his hand, signaling Qingfeng to leave.

The night falls quietly like ink.

Gu Mingzhao lay on the simple bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

He had trouble sleeping not because he was tired.

But whenever he thought about being in the same room with Ruyan, he felt an indescribable irritation in his heart.

It was hard to tell whether what Qing Feng said was true or false, and Gu Mingzhao still had many doubts in his mind.

However, there was one thing he was certain of.

——I have a physical aversion and rejection to women.

If he asked to come to Jizhou to control the flood in order to disobey the imperial order and refuse the marriage, it would seem like something he would do.

In any case, let’s go back to Jizhou first.

Liao Zhendong and his daughter Liao Qinglan worked day and night, traveling under the stars and taking only two hours of rest a day.

After four days of trekking, we finally arrived in Jizhou.

Liao Zhendong, burdened with the emperor's order and his daughter's happiness, was extremely anxious and went straight to the Jizhou government office.

Wang Tingzhi and Jizhou prefect Liu Yu received the news in advance and were standing outside the government gate, waiting for their arrival.

"I failed to do my job well and failed to protect His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin. I also troubled the Prime Minister to come all the way from the capital. I deserve death. Please forgive me, Prime Minister."

Such a big thing happened that Liu Yu couldn't sleep every day. When he saw Liao Zhendong, he apologized in fear and trepidation.

"Not much is needed. What's the situation now?" Liao Zhendong asked in a deep voice.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. We searched all the way along the river. On the third day after His Highness fell into the river, we finally found his trace. Now His Highness is resting in the backyard of the government office." Wang Tingzhi said.

"Take me to see him." Liao Zhendong said.

"Prime Minister, there is one more thing..."

"What's the matter?" Liao Zhendong asked.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin... has lost his memory." Wang Tingzhi hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Liao Zhendong and Liao Qinglan about this in advance so that they could be mentally prepared.

When Liao Zhendong heard the news that "the person has been found", he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But the word "amnesia" made him feel heavy again.

He turned around and looked at Liao Qinglan who had been standing quietly behind him, fearing that his daughter would not be able to accept the news.

Liao Qinglan asked expressionlessly, "Besides amnesia, do you have any other injuries?"

"Your Highness the Prince of Qin is in good health and not injured. He just has frequent headaches. The doctor said he needs to have a good rest." Wang Tingzhi glanced at Liao Qinglan.

He hasn't seen Liao Qinglan for a long time.

In my memory, Liao Qinglan has always been a dignified and elegant lady.

But at this moment, her hair was a little messy due to the wind, and the corners of her skirt were splashed with mud.

Because he hadn't had enough rest for several days, there was a dark spot under his eyes and he looked a little haggard.

It had only been a short time since she was granted marriage when her fiancé had an accident. She must have been very sad.

"Lord Wang, please take us to see His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin." Liao Qinglan felt uneasy until she saw Gu Mingzhao.

Wang Tingzhi walked silently in front of her, not having the heart to tell her another cruel reality.

I wonder how she will feel when she sees the person she loves has another beautiful woman by his side.

In order to entertain Gu Mingzhao, Liu Yu specially prepared a courtyard in the government office.

When they arrived, Gu Mingzhao was practicing sword alone in the yard.

The winter sun shines through the sparse clouds and falls on Gu Mingzhao.

He was wearing a black suit and holding the Longyuan sword, dancing in the cold wind.

The sword shines like a dragon, and the sword body makes a crisp sound, like the roar of a dragon in the sea.

Despite the cold weather, beads of sweat still oozed from Gu Mingzhao's forehead.

After he finished practicing a set of sword techniques, he put away the Longyuan Sword and looked at the person who came.

There are two unfamiliar faces.

"Lord Liu, who are they?" Gu Mingzhao asked.

"This is Prime Minister Liao. After hearing that Your Highness was in trouble, he immediately rushed here from the capital." Liu Yu introduced.

Gu Mingzhao nodded.

Prime Minister Liao, Qingfeng mentioned it.

He once studied in the Liao family's private school, and his legs were broken by someone sent by the Liao family's daughter.

Later, Miss Liao shamelessly asked the emperor to grant her a marriage.

I guess the person behind is Miss Liao.

"When Minister Liao goes out on business, does he bring the women from his family with him?" Gu Mingzhao looked at Liao Qinglan and said in an unfriendly tone.
