After paying tribute to her father, Gu Wanchao went back to the palace along the dog hole, and after she dusted off all the dust on her body, she walked towards the palace gate.

As if it had darkened today, in the darkness, she could vaguely see the carriage at the gate of the palace, so she quickened her pace and walked over.

The butler in front of the carriage was pacing back and forth, and when he turned around, he happened to see Gu Wanchao at the gate of the palace, and he hurriedly greeted him.

"Miss, why did you come out at this time? It's really a quick minion, and the minion almost rushed into the palace to find you. ”

"When I got to the palace, I couldn't remember where I put it, so it took me a long time to look for it, let's go, go home."

As he spoke, Gu Wanchao got into the carriage with his feet raised.

In the dark night, Gu Wanchao sat in the carriage, thinking about what Li Xiang said about his father.

"I have to find out how my father died, but with my appearance as a child who can't even get out of the gate of the Gu Mansion now, how can I find out all this?"

At this moment, Gu Wanchao realized how important power was.

All she can do now is wait, wait for two years when she can enter and leave the Gu Mansion freely, and then she will slowly cultivate her own power and find out the truth of all this.

The next day, Gu Wanchao arrived in the palace, and because Princess Yimeng left the book in the palace, she sat in the pavilion with Princess Yimeng and waited for the palace maid to go back to get the book.

But I happened to meet the emperor who I hadn't seen for a long time.

"The courtiers/sons have seen Your Majesty/Father." The two stood up and saluted in unison.

"No need to be polite, get up." The Emperor helped them up, then stepped aside and sat down.

The two looked at each other, and finally sat down after the emperor had spoken.

"Girl, are you feeling better?" The emperor naturally knew about Gu Wanchao's illness before, and he looked at Gu Wanchao, who was now alive and well, and said a word of concern.

"Thanks to the Holy Grace, it's already good."

"Now that you're much better, play a game of chess with me?" The emperor saw that Gu Wanchao really liked it, and invited her to play against him.

"The saint knows that the courtiers are not the opponents of the saints, but he still wants to let the courtiers play against the saints, and the saints are not bullying." Gu Wanchao continued to say aggrievedly.

Hearing this, the emperor laughed, "You girl, how can you be sure that I am bullying you, instead of wanting to see if you have made progress recently?" ”

"The level of the courtiers, the courtiers themselves know in their hearts, if the saint really wants to compare, then it is better to compare with the courtiers who eats faster?"

Gu Wanchao relied on the fact that she was a child now, and said something that made the emperor cry and laugh with her usual childlike style.

"You girl, you're still as interesting as ever." When the emperor heard Gu Wanchao's words, he laughed heartily.

And this scene happened to be seen by Li Changning, who came out for a walk.

In his impression, his father had never talked and laughed with him like this, and the last time he saw his father laughing like this was when his father Murong Zhao was talking.

"Who is the woman who is talking to my father?" Li Chengning looked at Gu Wanchao in the pavilion, and asked like the palace maid on the side.

"That's Gu Wanchao, the granddaughter of the Gu Xiang family, a few days ago, because she saved Princess Yimeng, His Majesty gave her the title of the county lord of Jianing."

"Gu Wanchao...... Murong Zhao ...... Why do these pesky people even have names that are annoying every time? Li Changning has never seen others talk and laugh with the emperor like this, after all, she has not enjoyed something herself, and she doesn't want others to enjoy it.

"What is she doing in the palace?" Li Changning asked the palace maid beside him.

"The princess may not know that she only returned to the palace recently, that Gu Wanchao was invited by His Majesty to Princess Yimeng, but because she is the granddaughter of Gu Xiang's family, she is allowed to go home every day." The palace maid continued.

Hearing this, Li Changning stared at Gu Wanchao for a long time before turning around and leaving.

In the evening, Gu Wanchao, who had dispersed the hall, was walking alone on the road out of the palace, but he didn't expect to bump into Li Changning.

Otherwise, it's not that enemies don't get together, the more people she doesn't want to see, the more she wants her to meet.

Since she was seriously ill last time, she now sees that Li Changning's reaction is not as strong as before, and she has been able to treat it calmly.

"The courtier, Gu Wanchao, has seen Princess Gulun." Gu Wanchao still clearly remembers that when Li Changning was asked to go to the Khitan and kiss, the emperor gave her the title of 'Gulun Princess'.

"Gu Wanchao, is it?"

Li Changning condescendingly looked at Gu Wanchao, who was a head shorter than him, and asked.

"Exactly, I don't know what Princess Gulun is looking for her courtiers?" Gu Wanchao lowered her head and never glanced at Li Changning. Because she knew very well that she was now shorter than Li Changning, she didn't want to look up at the people she didn't want to see.

"Bengong doesn't like you very much when he looks at you, especially your face, which makes Bengong very displeased." While speaking, Li Changning pinched Gu Wanchao's chin for no reason, forcing Gu Wanchao to look at her.

Gu Wanchao felt the pain on his face, and turned his head hard to break free of Li Changning's hand.

"I can't get a face that pleases the princess, the courtiers are very sorry, but the body is skinny, and the parents and courtiers can't do anything about it."

Gu Wanchao knew that Li Changning was deliberately making trouble for himself, and his tone of voice was a little tougher.

"Bengu tells you that the least favorite thing in Bengong is people who don't have self-knowledge, who do you think you are? You are just the granddaughter of a minister's family, what qualifications do you have to talk and laugh with the emperor? As she spoke, Li Changning's hand was raised, and Gu Wanchao glanced at the pond full of silt behind her, she knew in her heart what Li Changning wanted to do.

Fortunately, she has learned some martial arts these days, and it is naturally very easy to avoid Li Changning's push.

I saw her move under her feet, turned sideways to dodge, and pushed Li Changning with her hand, but Li Changning threw herself straight into the pond because she suddenly dodged away.

"Ahh Princess! Obviously he was the culprit, but Gu Wanchao screamed at the moment when Li Changning was about to fall into the pond.

It was as if it had all happened suddenly, and she hadn't reacted to it herself.

She reached out and grabbed the hem of Li Changning's skirt, but the skirt slipped out of her hand, and Li Changning fell straight into the pond.

The pond was full of silt and stinking, and Li Changning struggled to get up from the mud, and at this time she was covered in the mud from head to toe.

Looking at Li Changning's appearance, Gu Wanchao almost laughed out loud, but she was forced to hold back.
