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

The heavy stone door of the sky prison slowly opened again, and Gu Mingzhao walked out.

His face was as cold as ice, and even the air flow around him slowed down a bit.

His body was stained with a faint smell of blood, like the King of Hell who was taking lives, with the breath of death lingering around him.

There were some blood stains on his robe, which were accidentally splashed when he was dealing with An Linglong just now.

The bloodstains on his snow-white cloak were particularly eye-catching.

Gu Mingzhao frowned slightly, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he took off his cloak without hesitation and threw it on the side of the road.

Outside.

The chief eunuch, Eunuch Desheng, had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Gu Mingzhao finally show up, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"Your Highness, I am here on His Majesty's orders to invite you to the palace."

It just so happened that Gu Mingzhao had originally planned to look for Li Zheng after he got out.

He nodded, walked towards the carriage that had been prepared, and got in.

The carriage drove steadily, carrying Gu Mingzhao towards the palace.

Gu Mingzhao rode a carriage to the palace gate, then changed to a sedan chair, stepped deep into the palace, and finally stopped in front of the Qinzheng Hall.

Eunuch Desheng said, "Your Highness, His Majesty and Old Master Qin are waiting for you in the palace."

Gu Mingzhao nodded slightly and walked into the hall.

Above the main hall, it is magnificent.

Ambergris was burning in the hall, and the smoke lingered throughout the hall, making people feel relaxed and happy.

A huge dragon throne was placed on a high platform, and Li Zheng was sitting there, looking at him with a loving smile on his face.

They have been separated for half a year.

During the journey, he once fell into the Yellow River and once sneaked into the enemy camp, and each time was full of danger.

After such a long time, Li Zheng was very relieved to finally see Gu Mingzhao return safely.

"Hurry up and give King Qin a seat!!"

A young eunuch quickly brought a chair and placed it under Li Zheng.

After expressing his gratitude, Gu Mingzhao sat down in his seat.

Li Zheng walked down the platform and came in front of Gu Mingzhao.

He looked at Gu Mingzhao carefully, and although he looked a little haggard, he was still in good spirits. He couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Ming Zhao, you must have worked hard on this mission. It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"

Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Although this trip was full of hardships, I was fortunate to have accomplished my mission."

Li Zheng nodded and said, "I know your ability. You did a good job this time. I am very satisfied."

Gu Mingzhao responded calmly: "Your Majesty, I am just doing my duty."

Li Zheng nodded, then changed the subject and said, "She is just Prime Minister Liao's daughter... What a pity... I have decided to confer her the title of county lady to reward her for her contribution."

"I thank your majesty for your grace on behalf of Qinglan."

Li Zheng continued, "You have been guarding her for more than two months, which shows how deeply you love her. Now you are not young anymore, it is time to get married."

"That's what I meant."

Seeing that he agreed so easily, Li Zheng said in a gentle tone, "Old Master Qin's granddaughter Qin Yanran has always been very compatible with you. I think you two are a perfect match. Why don't you let her marry into the Prince Qin's Mansion? You can support each other and take care of each other in the future."

Gu Mingzhao went to the palace today, intending to mention the matter of marrying Liao Qinglan to Li Zheng.

Unexpectedly, he actually planned to arrange another marriage for me!

Gu Mingzhao's voice turned colder: "My fiancée is not dead yet, what do you mean?"

Li Zheng also looked unhappy: "What's the difference between her being dead now and her being dead now? Are you going to wait for her forever?"

"Why not?"

"Do you know that I am going to appoint you as regent? You will be shouldering the burden of the entire court in the future. How can you act so willfully?" Li Zheng was furious.

"I only know that no matter whether I am a commoner or a regent, I must shoulder my responsibilities as a husband and will never let my wife down."

"You've lost your mind for a woman!" Li Zheng cursed angrily.

He has tolerated Gu Mingzhao for a long time. Give him time to get over it on his own.

I thought he was finally willing to return to Beijing and had given up on Liao Qinglan.

I didn't expect he was still so stubborn!

Seeing that the atmosphere between the father and son was becoming increasingly tense, Old Master Qin stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin values ​​friendship and loyalty. This is truly a blessing for the country. Please do not let this matter damage the harmony."

Li Zheng glanced at him and snorted coldly without saying anything, but his displeasure was evident in his words.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin has just gone through a lot, so it's inevitable that he's feeling a bit emotional. Talking about marriage now, I'm afraid he's not fully committed. Your Majesty might as well wait for a while until his Royal Highness's mood has calmed down before making plans." Old Master Qin continued to advise.

Gu Mingzhao did not appreciate his kindness and said coldly: "No need, I have made up my mind."

"What else do you want to do?" Li Zheng couldn't help but ask.

Gu Mingzhao glanced at Old Master Qin, who tactfully left.

After everyone in the hall had left, Gu Mingzhao stood up and knelt in front of Li Zheng.

"I beg Your Majesty to witness the marriage between me and Liao Qinglan." Gu Mingzhao said solemnly.

"You! She can't even move now, how are you going to get married?"

Li Zheng was a little confused about what his son was thinking.

"Your Majesty, please don't worry about this. I will find a way myself."

Li Zheng almost laughed at him: "You have such a big idea, why don't you just go and prepare for the wedding yourself? Why are you looking for me?"

Li Zheng was so angry that he didn't even say "I", just like an old father arguing with his son at home.

"Your Majesty is both a king and a father. I hope that with the help of heaven and earth and your parents, I can allow her to legitimately become the Princess of Qin."

"What did you say I was just now?" Li Zheng doubted whether he had heard it wrongly.

Although Gu Mingzhao had lost his memory, his mind was still very sharp.

He immediately realized what Li Zheng was concerned about, and immediately added fuel to the fire, saying: "I beg Your Majesty to preside over our wedding as a father."

The word "father" instantly dissipated Li Zheng's dissatisfaction and anger.

His beloved son called him father for the first time...

He nodded, his tone much softer: "Okay, your wedding, your father will definitely go."

Gu Mingzhao kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will inform you of the specific date when I return and make preparations."

After saying that, Gu Mingzhao stood up and left.

Li Zheng looked at Gu Mingzhao's departing back, feeling mixed emotions.

What's wrong with just agreeing to a marriage so that his beloved son can acknowledge him as his father?

Just get married. Anyway, he didn't believe that Gu Mingzhao could be a monk all his life. Sooner or later, he would have to marry someone else.
