Sure enough, the eyes of several princes were full of displeasure, and there were even two princes staring at him inscrutablely, obviously ready to settle accounts with him next.

Long Lin couldn't even cry, he couldn't see that Chao Li deliberately pulled him into the water and attracted the firepower of several princes to Gu Hanzhang to him.

It's too much, it's just too much, he is still Chaoli's brother, but Chaoli did this to him for Gu Hanzhang!

"Since you have something to say, then you can go to my lingering garden." Long Lin showed a smile that was more ugly than crying.

Qiushuang looked at Long Lin with some concern, and Long Lin shook his head at her.

Seeing this, Qiu Shuang didn't speak, just silently followed behind Long Lin.

The conversation between the few people did not say anything secret, although Gu Xiyue didn't understand it very well, but she understood that they should have something important to say.

However, they decided to go to the Lingering Garden, but Gu Xiyue didn't want to go.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, you go to chat, I want to go back first, I'm a little tired today." Gu Xiyue whispered.

Chaoli understood Gu Xiyue's thoughts, and also knew that she was forcing herself to give up Long Lin, not to mention that she was calculated by Shen Lianyi today, and her heart was also very shocked, so she should have a good rest.

What's more, these things have nothing to do with her, and it's not easy for her to hear them, so it's best for her to go back.

"Okay, you go back first, I'll let Pei Qian send you secretly." Towards the apostasy.

"It's okay, Chengfeng is also here, I'll ask him to send Yue'er back together." Gu Hanzhang spoke.

Gu Xiyue nodded, "Got it, sister-in-law, I'll go back first." ”

Speaking of this, Gu Xiyue and the others bowed slightly, and then turned to leave.

Cheng Feng had heard Gu Hanzhang's words just now, and he didn't plan to get involved in the relationship between Gu Hanzhang and several princes, so he hurriedly left with Gu Xiyue and sent her back first.

Several princes also had no opinions, and followed Long Lin to the Lingering Garden.

Not long after, several carriages stopped outside the Lingering Garden.

Everyone got out of the carriage and was taken by Long Lin to the Tianzi private room, which was the one where Long Lin had pit Shen Lianyi for five hundred taels before.

This private room is very large, it is not a problem to sit down with them, and Long Lin also instructed Qiushuang to prepare tea and pastries.

It's just that he doesn't want to stay here for a moment.

"Well, I'll see if there's a problem with preparing tea and snacks for you, you can talk first."

As he spoke, Long Lin planned to slip away again.

However, as soon as he took a step, he was pinched by Gu Hanzhang's neck.

"Don't worry, the next person will prepare, and it's not your turn to be the boss to prepare in person." Gu Hanzhang's voice was gloomy and cold.

Long Lin had no choice but to sit down slowly.

The second prince coughed lightly and looked at Chao Li's body.

"Princess, have you noticed that you look a little similar to us? I saw it at the palace banquet before, and I thought it was a coincidence that there would be similar people. It's just that after some verification, I found that things are not so simple. If I am not mistaken, your mother is my eldest sister, the eldest princess of the West. It's a pity that we haven't been able to see her for the past few days. ”

"The son of the world has already told me about this, but now my mother's side has not been confirmed, and my grandfather has not heard any news. Therefore, please don't worry about this matter, and wait for the truth to come out. Chao Li spoke slowly.

At this moment, her voice was very soft, but it exuded a firmness, which made it difficult for several princes to say anything.

At that time, Qiushuang brought pastries and tea, and carefully closed the door for them.

Gu Hanzhang pulled Chao Li to sit down and poured her a cup of tea.

"Beware of burning your hands."

The tea was just brewed, and it was still a little hot, although Gu Hanzhang dried it for a while, he was afraid of the cold, so he reminded him like this.

The Seventh Prince rolled his eyes, "The prince will pretend!" ”

The other five princes did not speak, but there was a clear expression in their eyes that they agreed with the words of their seventh child.

Gu Hanzhang's expression was calm, "I don't know what the princes want to say?" ”

The fourth prince smiled gently, and there seemed to be a smile between his eyebrows, but his eyes were a little cold.

"The prince should know the purpose of our brothers coming here, and we can't hide it, before we set off, we also made a military order to the mother emperor, and we are bound to find the eldest sister. Actually, we didn't have much idea at first, and we weren't sure if we could find the eldest sister, but now we are sure that we have found someone. Since the eldest sister has been found, it is natural to bring it back to Xilin. We also know something about the eldest sister, the thing called Chaolu is not worthy of our eldest sister, anyway, it doesn't matter. ”

The fourth prince scolded Chaolu, but Chaoli didn't care.

"Yes, my mother and he have already reconciled, and now they have nothing to do with him. If it is a good thing to go to Xilin, I will not stop my mother, and I will even go with her. But now, there is already a princess in the west, even if my mother is really the eldest princess, I am afraid that she will not have a good life when she goes back. In that case, why do you have to go back, isn't it good to be here? Chao Li asked rhetorically.

Several princes were stunned, maybe they didn't expect Chaoli to know this.

However, looking at Gu Hanzhang and Long Lin beside them, they felt that it was not so difficult to understand.

With Long Lin here, he will definitely say these things, and Gu Hanzhang will also check everything clearly.

"Before the mother emperor didn't find the eldest sister, she did have an idea and chose a future empress's heir. It's just that this person's style of behavior made the mother emperor very displeased, so he didn't make an order. Even before we left, the Mother Emperor did not make an order, she thought to herself that we could find the eldest sister in Daqi. The second prince replied.

Hearing him say this, Chao Li and Gu Hanzhang also understood what the situation was in Xilin now.

The empress has always been concerned about the safety of the eldest princess in her heart, and even if she is not found, she will not easily hand over her place to others.

Unless, she's at a time when there's no way around.

And now, she can still hold on, so she has not decided on the candidate for the princess.

It's a pity that this result didn't make Gu Hanzhang feel at ease, he was even more uneasy!

The Empress Xilin has never given up the idea in her heart, she wants to find the eldest princess!

"I see, but even so, if my mother goes back, she will definitely become the target of public criticism. My mother didn't know everything about Xilin for a long time, she was just a woman raised in the back house, and it was impossible for her to understand those decisions. In this way, there will definitely be opposition to Xilin at that time, not to mention that my mother actually has no idea of wanting to be the empress. "Chao Li is realistic.

In fact, several princes understand, but they don't want to accept it in their hearts.

"What if, she willing?"
