Even if Lin Xuerong has the ability to coax the prince, but in the future whenever the prince sees Lin Xuerong, he will think of today's scene. Can he still love Lin Xuerong without any grudge?

Before realizing this plan, Gu Zhao still has a tough battle to fight.

The advantage of bringing the matter to the crown prince's face is that no one can cover it up for Lin Xuerong, but the disadvantage is that he has to face the wrath of a country's crown prince.

The prince is not that stupid, and this matter will definitely be investigated. Once she reveals her fault and is found to be the one who set it up, she will definitely be provoked... So she must perform this one-man show well.

The fifth floor of Yuxian Tower was completely sealed off. Gu Zhao sat on the ground for a long time before two maids from the East Palace came over to help her up and brought her to the prince's private room.

The prince, who was usually as elegant as a bamboo, was now as cold as a hawk, and his eyes were as sharp as a falcon. Everyone was trembling with fear. Only Prince Jing Qin Youmu, who was sitting below him, was chatting and laughing as usual.

Anyone with a sly eye would have resigned if he saw the prince starting to investigate such a secret matter. However, Prince Jing remained seated and the prince did not chase anyone away.

The prince's indifferent gaze swept over the crowd. His third brother always liked to join in the fun and talk nonsense. Instead of driving him away and letting him talk nonsense outside, it would be better to keep him here until the matter is settled.

Qin Youjin, Lin Xuerong and Fusheng were all deeply influenced by Jun Huan. Although they were awakened with ice water, the three of them were still unable to wake up and talk to others.

In the end, only one person was left, and his phoenix eyes fell slightly on Gu Zhao, who looked extremely weak.

Her whole body was leaning on the arms of the two palace maids, and her legs were like a pile of twists when she walked.

The prince glanced at her and felt that she looked familiar. The head of the East Palace guard reminded her in a low voice. The prince said "oh" and remembered the scene at Yu Chongshan Villa that day.

Gu Zhao tried his best to salute, but sometimes he fell to the right and sometimes to the left.

"Give me a seat."

Although the prince's face was ugly, his attitude towards Gu Zhao was still relatively warm. After all, Gu Zhao was Lin Xuerong's sister, and he saw with his own eyes that Gu Zhao was desperately trying to save Lin Xuerong.

There were also bruises on her arms, which were clearly caused by pinching when resisting the spices. This is something that many men cannot do.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Gu Zhao's voice was a little weak, and her posture on the chair was obviously very reluctant, but she still maintained her dignity with the most dignified posture.

The prince calmly ordered, "Tell me what happened just now."

"Back to Your Highness, today my eldest sister said that she has booked a private room on the fifth floor of Yuxian Building and will take us to watch the moon and lights together. When I was watching the night view by the railing, His Royal Highness the Prince of Xinyang County suddenly came and said that he also booked a room here.

A private room."

The prince didn't even look back and ordered the leader of the guards around him to "check when and how Lao Shi got the private room."

Immediately, a guard quietly left the room and went to ask the boss of Yuxian Tower.

After saying a long series of words, Gu Zhao's breathing became shallow and his face became increasingly pale, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Xinyang County said that he wanted to tell me something in private. I saw that his expression was wrong and he pretended to agree, so I went to ask my eldest sister.

What should she do."

The prince raised his eyebrows, "Are you familiar with Lao Shi?"

Gu Zhao shook his head feebly, "His Royal Highness Prince Xinyang and I met for the first time on the day of His Royal Highness the Prince's Plum Blossom Appreciation Banquet. My sister introduced us. Tonight is the second time we meet."

"Then why did he want to talk to you in private?" The prince's face darkened, not believing her words at all.

Gu Zhao pursed his lips, but puffed up his chest, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Xinyang County... made some remarks... that were not appropriate at Yu Chong Mountain. Later, he sent people to send plum branches and various gifts... I never returned the gift.

.”

That is to say, Qin Youjin expressed his love for her, but Gu Zhao felt it was inappropriate and did not respond. So this time when Gu Zhao went out on New Year's Eve, Qin Youjin came over again.

Prince Jing looked Gu Zhao up and down and laughed, "Although Lao Shi has many faults, he is more than enough for you as a righteous daughter of the Duke's Palace. Why do you still look down on him?"

Gu Zhao's voice was low, but his eyes were firm, "Even if you are a civilian girl, you still have the qualifications to reject people you don't like."

Prince Jing's smile faded and he scolded him coldly, "How brave! Are you the one who can pick and choose the prince of the Tian family?"

"It's funny." Gu Zhao moved his arm, as if he had touched a wounded spot. He couldn't help but frown, but his momentum did not diminish at all, "According to you, the women in this world just let the royal family take whatever they want? If that's the case,

What’s the use of law and what’s the use of morality?”

As she said that, she glanced at Prince Jing contemptuously, "Then why don't you take all the four beauties in the capital into your pocket? Don't say that you are Liu Xiahui and you don't like beauty."

Some dandy and busybodies evaluated the noble ladies in the capital based on their appearance, family background, talents, and conduct, and selected the four most outstanding ones, known as the "Four Beauties of the Capital". Lin Xuerong was among them.

Prince Jing was speechless by her rebuke.

He really wanted to, but among the four noble ladies, none of them would be willing to be his wife, let alone enter his back house at the same time.

Prince Jing was so angry that he scratched his beard and said, "Isn't it okay if I am Liu Xiahui? Isn't it okay?"

Gu Zhao simply clasped his fists and said, "I admire you."

If he hadn't just been cuckolded, the prince would have wanted to laugh. Prince Jing loves to point fingers at others, which is annoying. Today, he was criticized and scolded by a little girl, which was really a relief.

While arguing with Prince Jing, Gu Zhao was very grateful for his cooperation in her heart. If Prince Jing had not come forward, as a woman who had not yet left the cabinet, it would have been difficult for her to say some things.

"Third brother, don't interrupt." The prince continued to ask, "Go and ask Xuerong, what next?"

"My sister asked me why I didn't like Prince Xinyang. I said... he is too timid... My sister said that there are advantages to being timid. It's better to listen to what he has to say before making a decision. So, my sister dragged me in.

A private room."

Prince Jing raised his eyebrows, as if he heard something interesting, "Fifth brother, Miss Lin is here for
