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

Gu Mingzhao was on duty the whole night yesterday, but there was no sign of Xiuxiu.

But many things urged him to move forward, and he could only take a short rest.

After an hour of light sleep, he woke up.

Just now, when he was free, he already had a plan in his mind that could let Qin Yunhan and Qin Xiaoxiao, father and daughter, charge forward.

He looked down at Liao Qinglan, only to see that she was still sleeping.

The tranquil face is like peach blossoms in spring, with a faint blush.

Her eyes were closed, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she seemed to be immersed in a sweet dream.

Since I didn't come home last night, she must have been worried all night and didn't get a good rest.

Gu Mingzhao's expression was gentle, and he couldn't help but reach out his hand and touch her soft cheek with his fingertips.

Liao Qinglan rubbed his hand gently like a teased kitten, then held his fingers tightly and continued to fall asleep.

Gu Mingzhao couldn't bear to disturb her sweet dream, so he quietly got up, walked to the desk, took out paper and pen, and wrote down the next plans one by one.

After writing, he carefully folded the note and put it into Liao Qinglan's hand.

After finishing all these, it was almost time for lunch.

Qin Yunhan walked into the room with a guilty look on his face, holding a steaming meal in his hands.

"Sir, I'm so sorry. I was so busy worrying about Xiaoxiao's safety this morning that I forgot that you guys hadn't had your meal yet. I specially sent you lunch in advance today. Please don't mind."

"Qin Boyan is too serious. I'm not hungry. You came at the right time. I have already thought of a way to let you and your daughter meet."

As he spoke, he told Qin Yunhan the plan in detail.

Qin Yunhan was so grateful after hearing this that he wanted to kneel down to express his gratitude, but was supported by Gu Mingzhao in time.

"Uncle Qin, there is no need to do this. Even if you want to thank me, please wait until we leave this place safely. The food has been delivered, let's eat first."

"Food gets cold quickly in winter. Should we wake the girl up to eat first?" Qin Yunhan asked when he saw that Liao Qinglan seemed to be still sleeping.

Gu Mingzhao shook his head: "It's rare that she sleeps so well, let her rest for a while, and when she wakes up, she will naturally come to find you."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yunhan opened the food box and placed the food on the table.

After lunch, Gu Mingzhao set off for the camp on the other side of the dense forest.

The news that Gu Mingzhao had dealt with the three provocateurs in the morning had spread throughout the camp.

In addition, Lu Renjia, the former captain of the guards, was afraid that someone would be so blind as to offend Gu Mingzhao, making him unhappy and implicating himself.

So everyone was told about Long Yin’s extraordinary abilities in Jinyu Tower.

Lu Renjia's words, coupled with the injuries of the three people as evidence, made it impossible for others not to believe it.

After only being away for half a day, when Gu Mingzhao came back this time, he felt that the attitude of everyone in the camp had undergone a drastic change.

The looks that originally held suspicion and contempt for him now turned into respectful, even a little awed.

Seeing him coming back, people along the way greeted him one after another.

Even the soldiers on duty in front of Wang Tingzhi's tent changed their previous lax attitude and became serious and responsible.

When he stood at the door of the tent, someone immediately brought a stool and made tea.

"Lord Long, you don't have to guard us in person. If you are really worried, just sit here and watch us."

"Lord Long, you must be thirsty, have some tea!"

Listening to these compliments and flattering words, Gu Mingzhao looked indifferent and not very happy.

He is here to do things, not to build a career.

He wishes this place was as chaotic as possible, as it would make it easier for him to do his work.

Lu Renjia wanted to help him establish prestige, but he ended up making things worse and making it inconvenient for him to do things.

"No need, I'll go in and check on the prisoner."

After saying that, Gu Mingzhao lifted the curtain and walked into the tent.

"How do you guys do things?"

Gu Mingzhao's voice exploded like thunder, shaking the entire military camp.

The soldiers guarding outside the door were startled by Gu Mingzhao's angry shout and rushed in.

Wang Tingzhi was seen lying on the ground, his face was blue and purple, with black blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that he had been poisoned.

When they saw Wang Tingzhi's miserable condition, they were shocked and looked at each other, feeling uneasy.

"Lord Long, he was fine during lunch, and no one else came into contact with him."

"Yes, his meals are the same as ours, and all of us are fine."

"Could it be that someone from outside sneaked in?"

Seeing that their guesses were getting more and more outrageous, Gu Mingzhao had no choice but to give a hint of the answer he wanted himself.

"Didn't Qin Xiaoxiao come to apply medicine to him last night? I suspect it was Qin Xiaoxiao who did it!"

"But... Miss Qin comes here every day and nothing has ever gone wrong." The soldiers were a little hesitant.

Gu Mingzhao stood up and swept his eyes across everyone's faces, finally fixing on a soldier: "If it's not Qin Xiaoxiao, then there's something wrong with the food you sent?"

The soldier trembled all over when he was looked at by Gu Mingzhao, and quickly shook his head and said, "No, there must be no problem with the food."

"That means there is something wrong with Qin Xiaoxiao."

This……

This conclusion is a bit too hasty.

However, they all felt that Gu Mingzhao had just arrived and did not know that Qin Xiaoxiao had a special status here, so ordinary soldiers naturally did not dare to doubt her easily.

It’s better to let him doubt for a while, or let him suffer a little first so that he knows that there are some people you can’t afford to offend.

"You guys stay here and ask the military doctor to come and see what's going on. I'm going to go meet Qin Xiaoxiao."

Gu Mingzhao turned and walked towards Qin Xiaoxiao's tent.

Outside the tent, several maids blocked Gu Mingzhao's way with nervous looks.

"Lord Long, your actions are inappropriate and impolite!"

"My young lady is a beauty in the boudoir. How dare you barge in like this?"

Gu Mingzhao turned a deaf ear to their dissuasion and walked straight into the tent.

Seeing this, the maids tried their best to stop it, but the power gap between the two sides was too great and it was in vain.

Inside the tent, Qin Xiaoxiao was sitting at the desk, her face slightly gloomy, as if she was thinking about something.

Seeing Gu Mingzhao suddenly barge in, she couldn't help but frown and was about to explode.

However, she soon noticed that Ming Zhao was playing with a small seal in his hand.

The seal had a simple shape and fine carving, and was engraved with some patterns that she was familiar with.

Her eyes were fixed on the seal and she was extremely excited.

"It's okay, you all go down first." Qin Xiaoxiao ordered.

"How can that be possible? What if he does something rude?"

"Even if it's rude, can you stop him? Get off!"

Qin Xiaoxiao was a little anxious and spoke in a harsh tone, almost as if she was driving her maid away.

Although her maid was worried, she did not dare to disobey her order and had to retreat first.

Gu Mingzhao and Qin Xiaoxiao were the only ones left in the room.

Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't sit still any longer, so she stood up, walked forward, and snatched the seal from his hand.

She checked carefully and confirmed that it was indeed her father's piece!

I haven't heard from my father for three years. I didn't expect to see one of his personal belongings in Long Yin's hands.

"Why are my father's things in your possession? What did you do to him?"

Qin Xiaoxiao was afraid that others would hear, so she lowered her voice and asked.
