Gu Zhao's heart moved, as if he knew what he was going to do. "What does Your Highness mean?"

The prince smiled softly, and there was a bit of bitterness in his laughter. "Why should Lord Gu ask me knowingly? Qi Si is your subordinate. He has discovered that there is something wrong with the behavior of the Imperial Army. I don't believe you haven't seen anything."

Gu Zhao was silent for a while, "Since that's the case, then please ask Your Highness to give the subordinate a warrant, and the subordinate will go to screen each one by one."

The prince slowly stood up and walked to Gu Zhao, staring at her with his moye eyes, "Mr. Gu, if you don't ask you to come, do you not plan to care if you find anything?"

His narrow and long Danfeng eyes were full of coldness, as if Gu Zhao admitted it, he would shoot countless sword lights and cut Gu Zhao into several sections.

Gu Zhao was not scared by his abnormal appearance. She bowed her face as usual and said calmly, "Why did your highness say this? The official kept Qi Si to guard the gate, wasn't it just to protect your highness's safety?"

"It's just that the Imperial Guards are involved in major military affairs. The military power should avoid suspicion. So although they had some doubts just now, the officials were just thinking about investigating privately. They reported to you after they had a look and asked you to decide."

The prince looked at Gu Zhao calmly for a while, suddenly sighed, and sat down powerlessly, "I'm sorry, Gu Zhao, I shouldn't have lost my temper at you."

"I just suddenly felt like I was walking alone in the dark wilderness, with too much malice hidden around me."

The prince pressed his forehead and said in a slight tone, "In the darkness, countless coveted eyes seemed to gather. Looking at me, it was like looking at the fat piece of meat, ready to pounce on it and bite off a piece at any time."

"At this time, the familiar faces that appeared from the darkness seemed to become strange. I can't be sure whether they really came to help me save me, or wanted to lie to me, and stab me in the back after getting my trust."

"I'm sorry, I only trust you, so I can't help but lose my temper at you. In fact, it's just because of me, I'm afraid."

"I shouldn't be afraid, right?" the prince murmured with his eyes blank, "I am the crown prince of a country. I should be wise and brave, and I should be wise and kind... But sometimes, I am really scared, just like those days when I was in the night of Hehuan, I was so painful that I couldn't fall asleep all day and night, and all I thought about was what would happen if I died."

At this time, the prince no longer had the reserved and nobleness in front of others, as if he was no longer the crown prince of a country at this time, but Qin Youzhen.

He sat in the dark, his shoulders collapsed slightly, his tone was depressed, his hands clutching his hair, no different from any ordinary person suffering from stress and frustration.

Gu Zhao couldn't help but think of his experience in his previous life. From a poor girl in Jiangnan to a county princess, she had already suffered cold eyes and ridicule. Who knew that she had become the crown princess again in just a few years!

At that time, her feelings were very similar to Qin Youzhen's current--as if she was standing alone in the wilderness, with all the darkness around her, all with bad intentions.

Many people envy and envy her good luck, but who knows the fear and anxiety in her heart when she hides alone in the corner and shrinks into a ball countless times?

At that time, what she needed was not empty words of comfort, but to share the burden with her with the most practical actions like Lu Qi.

Qin Youzhen was born noble, he had his pride, and the last thing he needed was those light and good words.

"Please issue your order, and the magistrate will do things now." Gu Zhao bowed, his tone plain, as if nothing had happened.

The prince covered his face with both hands, and his shoulders suddenly trembled violently.

Gu Zhao looked at him in surprise. Was it too much pressure that he forced the prince to cry?

The laughter grew from childhood. The prince raised his head, and there was no tears in his eyes, but the endless deep meaning in his eyes: "Gu Zhao, you are so cruel, you can't even give up the words of comforting the lonely."

A smile appeared on the corner of Gu Zhao's mouth, and the brilliance in his eyes seemed to see through everything. "The hawk who controls the crane, of course, is like a stone in his heart."

The prince laughed even louder. He brushed his clothes, stepped out of the shadows, walked to the bright window, and began to grind ink vigorously.

After writing the handwritten book, stamping it with a small seal, the prince handed it to Gu Zhao, and said solemnly, "I will leave it to you, Gu Zhao."

Gu Zhao took the handwritten letter and walked back, "Don't worry, Your Highness!"

Protecting the prince is to ensure the balance between the court and the country in Bei'an and maintain peace in Bei'an. It does not cause national turmoil because of the princes fighting for the throne like in their previous life, and gives the Donghao people the opportunity to conspire to harm Bei'an.

As Gu Zhao walked out of the hall with high steps, a smile flashed in the prince's eyes.

Gu Zhao is a person who is soft but not hard. She would rather raise a weak and disabled little mute than accept him and Qin Youjin. Isn’t it because they always show the intention of dominating her in front of Gu Zhao?

For Gu Zhao, those things that the daughters who were kept in captivity under the square sky were insults and bullying.

Because Gu Zhao is talented, courageous and capable, such a person, regardless of gender, cannot accept being controlled by others.

However, women are born with emotion and are born to like to pity the weak. As the prince, he has a noble status and it is difficult to have the opportunity to arouse Gu Zhao's emotions in normal times.

This time was his chance to open Gu Zhao's heart. He not only wanted Gu Zhao to become a marriage partner, but also wanted her to be his virtuous supporter, help him ascend the throne and govern the world.

The prince, who is always arrogant, has an instant frustration and depression, and has never shown his weakness in front of others, and is only seen by Gu Zhao alone.

Such a person will definitely leave a vivid and vivid image in Gu Zhao's heart, making her unknowingly get used to focusing her eyes on him...

The smile on the prince's face quickly subsided. He turned around and sat on the high throne, and became a noble and handsome prince again.

"Kang Jian, go and invite your brother-in-law and Shi Zhengwei to come over. I have important matters to discuss with them."

Gu Zhao walked out of the hall, and several little cranes immediately followed.

Qi Si took a step back silently and let one of the little heirs walk closely against Gu Zhao.
