"But His Royal Highness the Prince of Huainan?"

Zhao Cuo was the first to offer his hand to the handsome young man in brocade robes.

"Brother Zhao, please take your seat quickly!"

The prince of Huainan stood up with a smile and made a "please" gesture.

"Your Highness, you're welcome."

In this first meeting, Young Master Zhao had a good impression and sense of him.

"Brother Zhao, you and I are similar in age, how about we call each other by words? We will be a family soon, but we don't have so many rules."

The Prince of Huainan politely asked Zhao Cuo to take a seat.

"The etiquette cannot be abolished."

Zhao Cuo declined.

"Hi."

Prince Huainan shook his head and said.

"I, the Chen family, are not from the Dayu clan. Now that you and I both work for the Queen Mother, why can't we treat each other like brothers?"

"Then I will boldly call His Highness Brother Chen."

Of course he knows that King Huainan is the only prince of the opposite sex in Dayu now. This is also the reason why they have been loyal to the Dayu court for generations. Even if a prince who is not a member of the clan rebels, he cannot go further. If he dares to do so, he will not need the Queen Mother.

After sending troops, the seven vassal kings immediately annexed the Huainan Kingdom.

When Dayu was founded, there were several kings with different surnames. The ancestors of the Zhao family could have been crowned kings at first, but they declined. Facts have proved that this was right. When Taizong reduced the vassalage, all the kings with different surnames were basically wiped out.

It is a fluke that Huainan State still exists.

"The person next to Wu Jiu is the famous talented woman, right?"

The Prince of Huainan turned his attention to the woman wearing a curtain hat next to Mr. Zhao.

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

Miss Zhao took off her hat and bowed to the Prince of Huainan. As a disciple of the saint of Xunshan Academy, she could consider herself a Confucian scholar and could not perform the Wanfu ceremony that women are accustomed to.

"Miss Zhao, there is no need to be polite."

Prince Huainan's eyes glazed over for a moment when he saw Zhao Changxin's face, but he quickly retracted his gaze and urged the two of them to sit down with a smile.

"My girl is so shy that she hides behind and refuses to come out. Let's eat and chat without paying attention to her."

"That would be rude."

Zhao Cuo didn't pay any attention to Princess Anle who was hiding behind the curtain.

"His Royal Highness."

Zhao Shanxin looked at Prince Huainan who was asking the waiter to pour the wine with a serious face and said.

"My younger brother is still young, and I don't allow him to drink alcohol. How about drinking tea instead of wine this time?"

"Eh?"

Prince Huainan was obviously stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhao Cuo with a strange expression, as if waiting for him to express his position.

"elder sister."

Young Master Zhao retorted in a "dissatisfied" tone.

"Why do you still care so much about me at my age?"

"Even though you are seventy years old and have gray hair, you are still my brother." Miss Zhao looked serious, "Aren't you going to listen to me?"

"How dare you disobey eldest sister's orders."

Zhao Cuo said helplessly to the stunned Prince Huainan.

"My sister still doesn't allow me to drink, so I have to offer Brother Chen a cup of tea, and I hope Haihan will do it."

"No...no problem."

Prince Huainan's eyes twitched and he said.

"I heard that our Governor Xian's only son followed the Queen to Yuhang City yesterday. His sister, Miss Zhao, could not accompany her on the southern tour, so she followed her here alone."

At this time, the chatter of a table of drinkers under the fence came in. This Fuller House is just an ordinary pub, and the single rooms are not soundproofed.

"What's happening here?"

Someone in the hall answered.

"You don't know something. Miss Zhao loves her only brother, the young master, to the core. She has to take care of everything he eats, drinks, poops, and sleeps."

"Looking at it this way, isn't it too miserable for Mr. Zhao? After getting married, is it possible that he has to ask Miss Zhao for permission to have sex with his wife? Ha!"

A burst of laughter made the atmosphere in the tavern cheerful.

"Here comes someone."

Zhao Shanxin spoke lightly.

"Go and let the table below keep their mouths shut."

A follower immediately turned around and walked downstairs.

'Although this plan is clever, I'm afraid it will damage your reputation, sister.'

Zhao Cuo said in his heart that everything from just now to now was their way of rejecting the marriage. Judging from the stunned look on the face of Prince Huainan, the effect was quite good.

"No blame...please."

Prince Huainan raised his glass with a forced smile.

"Brother Chen is too polite."

Zhao Cuo raised the cup of tea brought by the waiter as a signal, then put it to his mouth and drank it in one gulp. After he put it in the cup, Miss Zhao on the side immediately took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of his mouth.

He behaved obediently like a henpecker.

He was pinched to death.

"Um?"

A trace of confusion suddenly flashed across Young Master Zhao's eyes, and his consciousness sank into the execution hall. A silk book was quietly placed on the table.

"Why did it appear at this time?"

Zhao Cuo frowned and looked at the brocade silk with the words "torture order" written on it on the table.

He still doesn't understand how the criminal department lobby that the female devil gave him works.

But what is certain is that the contents of the order it issued are true.

"Isn't it the Crown Prince of Huainan who triggered the torture order?"

Zhao Cuo reached out and picked up the silk book on the table, just opened it and glanced at it, his face instantly became stiff.

[Princess Anle, she failed to assassinate the king and assassinate the imperial official! She needs to be arrested and tortured immediately!

Note: It would be a pity not to regret the death of rebellious ministers and traitors!

Reward: Thousands of Gu]

‘On the last day in Guangping Mansion, the assassin who went out with the empress on the streets was Princess Anle?’

Almost instantly, he thought of the time when he passed by an ordinary person and was poisoned. The Queen Mother used thunder to kill that person, but in the end he was just an avatar.

After thinking of this, doubt suddenly appeared in his eyes. The incarnation of the Gu Master could even compete with the fire-raiser a few times, and his cultivation level was in the seventh realm, even close to the holy realm.

[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here www. 】

Could this be a fourteen year old girl?

"There are no mistakes in the execution hall's order..."

Zhao Cuo felt a little numb for a moment. The young lady hiding shyly behind the curtain turned out to be a mysterious seventh-level Gu Master?

'The King of Huainan colluded with the Gu master forces in southern Xinjiang?'

He naturally had this suspicion, and then he became even more restless. The Huainan Kingdom was Jiangnan's barrier against Southern Xinjiang. What did the King of Huainan want to do by getting involved with Southern Xinjiang? If he and the Qi State on the west side of Jiangnan sent troops together...

…

"No blame."

At this time, the voice of Prince Huainan brought him back to reality.

"You are going to meet with my little sister today to confirm the engagement. She is too timid to show up in front of so many people. How about you take her for a walk on the street alone?"

"Is this appropriate?"

Zhao Cuo tried his best not to act strange, but in fact he was already panicking. There was no Queen Mother to protect him at the moment.

"This marriage is arranged by my father."

The smile on Prince Huainan's face was very forced, as if he didn't want to marry his sister to Zhao Cuo at all, but there was nothing he could do about it.
