Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!

I heard what Your Majesty said.

Gu Shaoxiu was stunned for a moment, and felt cold sweat soaking through his vermilion official robe.

"Zhao'er... No, it's impossible..."

"Your Majesty, please do not deceive me... Zhao'er has always been filial, respectful to his elders, and lenient to the younger generation... How could this happen..."

It felt like something was blocking my heart.

Zhao Changlin dismounted from the horse. Her jade-white skin seemed somewhat dim under the candlelight.

His slender fingertips rubbed his wrist.

Zhao Changlin walked forward, and the shadow guards behind him followed him every step, fearing that something might happen to His Majesty.

These layers of shadow guards naturally attracted the attention of other mansions.

The Gu clan members in particular were terrified in the compound.

Madam Gu knew that the master went to drink with his colleagues today, but after calculating the time, he should have returned to the Gu family mansion by now.

"Oh no... Madam!"

“Oh no…”

The little maid's face flushed as she slipped in all at once.

"Outside... there are a lot of black soldiers coming outside... they are wearing masks on their faces..."

Just now, standing in the vermilion gate, the little maid just glanced outside and was frightened out of her wits... She almost couldn't breathe and went to the ghost city of Youdu.

These maids have never seen the world, but Old Madam Gu has actually been to the imperial city and met the emperor.

When she heard the little maid say that he was wearing a mask and black armor... her heart felt as if it had fallen into an icy cave.

It didn't take long for him to guess that it was probably someone from the imperial court who had found the master and was going to settle the score with him.

Without catching her breath, Madam Gu's face turned pale, her fingers trembled, and she even knocked over the teacup on the table.

"Madam...Madam, what's wrong with you..."

The little maid hurried forward to support her.

"It's His Majesty who has come...It's His Majesty who has come!"

Hearing the old lady say this, the little maidservant instantly thought of a figure in her mind. The figure was thin and dressed in lake blue clothes.

The night wind blew the man's long hair.

At first glance, it was indeed a woman.

According to rumors, the current emperor is a peerless woman, like a snow-capped mountain or a peony in Beijing.

Is she really the Emperor?

……

The news that the Gu family was imprisoned spread throughout Jinzhou City in an instant.

Along with this came the news that Gu Zhao was not dead.

This caused the streets and alleys to boil over in an instant.

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?"

Sitting in the carriage, Xia Zhiyuan did not ask too many questions about what happened last night, nor did he follow His Majesty.

Because she trusts His Majesty to handle everything.

"I'm not thinking about anything, but have you really thought about returning to the Xia family?"

Everyone in the world knows that the reason why the Xia family can still have a place in Jinzhou City is all because of Xia Zhiyuan.

If there was no daughter.

I'm afraid that when the eldest son of the Xia family followed the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery to the west, his entire family would have been executed.

Your Majesty's great favor made everyone in the court and the country jealous of Xia Zhiyuan.

If we mention the Minister of Works Liu Huixuan, it is because he had a deep affection for the late emperor, and when Your Majesty ascended the throne, he did not turn against them.

He has earned the favor of His Majesty through his own ability. He does not take sides arbitrarily, does not speak carelessly, and always keeps a low profile.

But Xia Zhiyuan is eccentric and demanding of perfection in her work, so anyone who is her boss or her subordinate has to be careful about their skin.

Otherwise, if this matter were to reach the ears of His Majesty, I would probably lose my official hat at best, or even my life at worst.

"Of course I have thought about it."

"Your Highness, are you lying to Zhiyuan now?"

It was obvious that he was thinking about what happened last night, but for some reason... he was unwilling to reveal his true feelings to me.

Is it because I'm too tired?

Hearing Zhiyuan's voice, Zhao Changlin opened his eyes, looked in her direction, with a smile on the corner of his lips.

If there is something, it seems like nothing.

"Okay, since... you want to know, I'll tell you when we get back to the palace."

"Now I have a more important matter to entrust to Zhiyuan."

Zhao Changlin spoke slowly.

"Zhao Mingtai is a good kid. I saw you that day and I liked you very much."

"If you like it, then take it with you and make it your apprentice, okay?"

As she thought so, she had already made a plan in her mind. The crown prince must be worthy of being called a crown prince and must be a good seedling.

The wolf brought out by others is an untamed wolf. She felt relieved only when Zhiyuan brought it out himself.

As an emperor, Zhao Changlin knew very well that although he was good at planning good things, it was inevitable that he would get his feet wet if he walked on the shore all the time.

She thought...if she was really not around in the future, then the crown prince would be able to protect Zhiyuan for a hundred years without worries.

"Your Majesty, what bad plans are you thinking about?"

His fingertips touched Zhao Changlin's chest. After being together for so long, Xia Zhiyuan could not help but understand what the prince was up to.

"You are worrying too much, Your Majesty."

When I get angry, I don't even want to call you His Highness.

Zhao Changlin did not deny it, but looked straight at Xia Zhiyuan.

"Yes, I am worried about you and miss you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of the carriage gradually stopped.

The two servants guarding the gate of the Xia family mansion looked at the carriage pulled by four tall and handsome horses.

Suddenly there was a calculation in my heart.

One can tell at a glance from the workmanship and materials used in this carriage that it must be a royal relative from the imperial city coming to pay a visit to their master.

Ever since the young lady became successful, she has become a phoenix.

The Xia family mansion was bustling with people every day. High-ranking officials who used to only be seen in the Golden Palace now came to their place every day.

Show your courtesy to the master.

Xia Zhiyuan opened the curtain of the carriage and felt that he had not seen the Xia family mansion for a long time.

The two servants stared outside with their eyes wide open.

"Miss...Miss..."

They cried with joy.

"It's really the young lady who is back...it's the young lady who is back!"

Xia Zhiyuan couldn't describe how he felt about this restaurant, except that it smelled very medicinal.

But Chunni behind him already had tears in her eyes. She had many close friends in the Xia family mansion.

The young lady in the past liked to wear green lotus-colored clothes and shed tears all day long, but the young lady now wears a cloak, snow-white rabbit fur, and a branch of crabapple.

Just looking at it makes people feel that it is full of energy.

"I will go back and report to the master right away!"

Another servant pushed open the door of the Xia family mansion, turned around and walked into the courtyard.

Xia Yizi has been on vacation at home these days, playing chess with some relatives and friends.

He was wearing a white robe, holding a chess piece in his hand, thinking over and over again, wondering where to make his move.

“Master…Master!”

"The lady is back! The lady is back!"

This cry was heard clearly by everyone in the entire courtyard.

With a tremble of his wrist, the chess pieces in Xia Yizi's hand fell to the ground.
