Qing Feng looked at Gu Mingzhao and disagreed with his decision.

"Your Highness, I know that you grew up in the Central Plains and have deep feelings for the people and things here, but I still want to remind you that the people of the Central Plains are insidious and cunning, and you should not trust them easily. Even if she is just a seemingly weak woman, you must never take it lightly."

Gu Mingzhao said calmly: "I have experienced more insidiousness and cunningness than you, and I don't need you to remind me."

Qing Feng couldn't help but emphasize his tone: "Your Highness, our Longyuan tribe makes a living by raising horses. We are brave and good at fighting, and have lived in the Western Border for generations! But in order to get our horses, the Emperor of the Central Plains sent Li Zheng to disguise himself as a merchant and deceive Princess Hongye's feelings. On the night of the wedding, he joined forces with the Central Plains army to bloodbath the royal court and massacre countless innocent lives of our tribe! How can his people trust such a person?"

Qing Feng said this, clenching his fists, his voice full of pain and anger.

"You told me these things on the first day you came to see me. There's no need to emphasize them again and again." Gu Mingzhao still looked calm.

"Your Highness, Princess Hongye risked her life to send you and Madam Du out of the palace in the hope that you can continue the bloodline of the Longyuan clan and avenge your people. You must not forget your mission!"

Gu Mingzhao's eyes looked particularly profound in the dim cell. He spoke slowly, "I haven't forgotten, but now, instead of wasting your energy monitoring Liao Qinglan, you might as well look for more evidence to help me get out of this predicament as soon as possible."

When Qing Feng heard this, his heart tightened, thinking that Gu Mingzhao was blaming him for not doing his job well, and he lowered his head hastily: "Your Highness is right, I will do it right away."

He stood up and was about to leave when Gu Mingzhao gave him new instructions: "Give all the evidence you have collected to Liao Qinglan. She is the daughter of the prime minister and has a noble status. If she presents the evidence, it will be more important."

"Your Highness! She is an outsider. What if she..."

"No need to say more, just do as I say." Gu Mingzhao interrupted Qing Feng.

Qing Feng wanted to say something else, but Gu Mingzhao had already closed his eyes, as if he was seeing someone off. He could only sigh silently in his heart and said, "I'll take my leave."

He had said everything he needed to say, but the little prince still had this indifferent attitude, which made him feel powerless.

But Gu Mingzhao is the only descendant of the Longyuan royal family, so he can only rescue him first and then take his time.

After Qing Feng left, Gu Mingzhao slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were clear, as if he could see through everything in the world.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a sneer that was filled with sadness and helplessness.

Recalling the first day he was imprisoned, Qing Feng, who claimed to be a death warrior of the Longyuan royal court, came to his door.

"Longyuan clan? I've never heard of it." Gu Mingzhao felt like he had met a liar again.

Seeing his doubtful expression, Qing Feng knelt in front of him and told him his own experience: "Back then, Li Zheng relied on the merits of destroying Long Yuan and obtaining the war horse to seize the position of crown prince, and also imprisoned Princess Hongye in the East Palace. He was afraid that others would know that his position as crown prince was not legitimate, so he burned all records about the Long Yuan clan."

"After Longyuan's clan was wiped out, I came to the Central Plains with only one purpose, which is to find an opportunity to rescue Princess Hongye!"

As Qing Feng spoke, tears flashed in his eyes: "Princess Hongye hated herself for trusting others so easily, which led to the destruction of her country and her family, and she even became pregnant with her enemy's child. After giving birth to the little prince, she took advantage of the weak defense and arranged for Nanny Du to take you out of the palace. She left a blood letter on the wall, and then committed suicide in the East Palace to show her determination."

"I finally managed to sneak into the palace, but I got the news of Princess Hongye's death. But I couldn't give up, I had to find you and Madam Du. I tried my best and finally found clues about Madam Du among the vast crowd. However, when I found her, she had passed away."

Qing Feng's voice was a little choked. He took a deep breath and continued, "I wandered around the Central Plains, looking for your whereabouts, but it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. If it weren't for the fact that Duke Zheng was so powerful this time and tied you up and paraded you through the streets, I don't know how long I would have found you."

"Your face is so similar to Princess Hongye's, especially your eyes, which are exactly the same as the princess's." Qing Feng's words were filled with deep attachment, as if he was missing an old friend far away through Gu Mingzhao.

"The enemy ascended the throne by stepping on the blood of the Longyuan people. You are the only bloodline of the Longyuan royal court in this world. You must shoulder the responsibility of reviving Longyuan and seek justice for your mother and the people of Longyuan!"

Gu Mingzhao listened quietly to Qingfeng's story without saying a word.

When he was a child, he also wondered why others had parents but he didn't.

The only relative around him was a mute nanny who could not ask him anything.

Over time, I accepted the fact that I didn't have parents and stopped thinking about it.

Gu Mingzhao sat in the dim cell, the shock and confusion in his heart were beyond words.

I never thought that my life experience would be so complicated.

He never expected that his biological father would be the emperor of the time and his mother would be a princess of a fallen country.

All this was too absurd and too unbelievable for him.

He has been an orphan since childhood. In his heart, his father and mother are just two strange codes that have never really existed.

Therefore, when Qing Feng mentioned that blood feud, he felt that it had nothing to do with him, as if he was listening to a distant story.

Over the years, he has tried his best to survive.

Even though he now knew his own life experience, he had never thought of looking for his emperor father, let alone getting involved in the Longyuan clan's revenge plan.

However, he is currently imprisoned and needs Qing Feng's help to escape.

He agreed to Qing Feng's proposal verbally, but his heart was calm and he only felt exhausted.

He thought about the people he had come into contact with since he was a child, and they all wanted to get something from him.

The rich businessman wanted to train him to be the best male prostitute and sell him for a good price.

The prefect's daughter wanted to conquer him and satisfy her vanity.

Qing Feng wanted him to revive the Longyuan clan and take revenge.

These people all had their own agenda, but never really cared about him.

After Qingfeng recognized him, he told him all about the blood feud that his mother had to bear.

He didn't even ask himself how he had been spending all these years.

How does a young child who loses his shelter at the age of eight struggle to survive in this world and how does he face the hardships of life?

These don't seem to be important to Qingfeng.

Gu Mingzhao's thoughts were wandering, and he couldn't help but look towards the corner, at the bag of snacks that Liao Qinglan brought.

The words "Tianxiangzhai" are printed on the bag. This is the most famous dim sum shop in the capital. The dim sum produced here is not only delicious, but also very exquisitely packaged.

Just now, when Liao Qinglan left, she walked too hastily and stepped on the snack bag several times, leaving the originally exquisite packaging stained with some mud.

He couldn't help but start thinking, what about Liao Qinglan?

Why did she approach me?

What exactly does she want?

He has been wandering alone in this world for too long and has long been accustomed to exploitation and deception.

Liao Qinglan seemed to be unaware of anything, which made him feel even more terrified.
