After asking Xie Beiluo, Gu Zhaozhao learned that Xie Chengyan was imprisoned in the clan mansion.

Isn't being locked up in the clan mansion the same as going to jail?

Thinking that Xie Chengyan would not be able to eat or sleep well in prison, Gu Zhaozhao also thoughtfully stuffed a few pastries that she hadn't finished eating into the food box, intending to bring them to Xie Chengyan to satisfy his hunger.

Thinking of Xie Chengyan's current situation, she suddenly became fond of him, and even wanted to bring him some quilts.

It's just that I don't know which corner Mo Zhi received the quilt from.

Xie Beiluo looked at Gu Zhaozhao who was rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and said silently: "Your Highness, you don't need to bring these things, they are all in the clan's residence."

Gu Zhaozhao was unmoved, and Xie Beiluo continued: "Your Highness, we can only ride horses, not carriages. You have to carry everything by yourself. If so, do you still want to take it?"

"Shouldn't you be the one to take it? You are my bodyguard." Gu Zhaozhao turned around in doubt, looked at the handsome Xie Beiluo and said.

"It's too embarrassing, I don't want it. Your Highness has seen a man carrying a quilt on a horse, and spreading it will damage my reputation."

Gu Zhaozhao couldn't hold back this brat: "Forget it, I don't bring the cup, but it's no problem for you to carry this food box."

Xie Beiluo honestly took the food box from Gu Zhaozhao: "By the way, Your Highness, your clothes are too ostentatious, and this subordinate found you a pair of men's clothes."

Xie Beiluo handed a bag of clothes on the table to Gu Zhaozhao: "Here." A shy blush flashed across his cheeks again.

Gu Zhaozhao took the package and didn't understand why the child was being shy again, so he went into the room and changed his clothes without asking any further questions.

After everything was ready, Gu Zhaozhao followed Xie Beiluo to lead the horse and hurried out of the palace.

The road was bumpy, and her buttocks were hurt by the saddle, and she finally saw the clan mansion.

The Zongren Mansion stands beside the city wall. The outer wall is built with thick stone bricks, which looks tall and magnificent, and the copper wall and iron wall are indestructible.

There are also heavy guards outside the mansion, and there are several teams of guards patrolling. Fortunately, there are some vendors in front of the clan mansion, so that the two of them will not look so obtrusive.

Just as Gu Zhaozhao took the reins and wanted to run towards the gate of the Zongren Mansion, Xie Beiluo stopped him in time: "Your Highness, we can't go through the main entrance. Please follow me to this way, Your Highness."

Xie Beiluo led Gu Zhaozhao around and around, into a small alley with few people, and after a while, he came to a not so tall stone wall.

Xie Beiluo took Gu Zhaozhao off the horse and tied the horse to a tree. Xie Beiluo knelt down on one knee by the wall.

He looked up at Gu Zhaozhao with encouraging eyes, looking like a good dog: "Your Highness, step on me and climb up."

"Ah? I feel like I can't climb it. Is there an easier way?" Gu Zhaozhao looked at the wall and said in embarrassment.

"For example, carry me and fly over?" Gu Zhaozhao put forward his own idea.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness." Xie Beiluo stood up and bowed to Gu Zhaozhao: "Beiluo is not good at learning, so I can pass by myself, but..."

Xie Beiluo sized Gu Zhaozhao carefully with scrutiny, and said, "But it's really very reluctant to take His Highness with you."

Gu Zhaozhao: If you think I'm serious, just say so.

"But..." Xie Beiluo seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.Gu Zhaozhao felt an ominous premonition for no reason.

"My subordinate remembered that there is a dog hole near here that you can climb into. I'll look for it." As soon as the words finished, Xie Beiluo ran away excitedly.

"Your Highness, here!" Xie Beiluo happily yelled at Gu Zhaozhao, and Gu Zhaozhao walked over to Xie Beiluo with the corners of his mouth twitching.

It's a dog's hole, but she should be able to squeeze through it.

"You go there and wait for me first, remember to bring your lunch box." Gu Zhaozhao said resignedly, and raised his legs and burrowed into the dog's hole.

In the short 2 minutes of climbing the dog hole, Gu Zhaozhao thought many times how to talk to Xie Beiluo tactfully, so as not to hurt his heart, but let him go back to the prince.

As soon as Gu Zhaozhao poked his head out, a white and slender hand was passed in front of his eyes.

Standing against the light, the young man tilted his head and smiled at her with a dazzling smile: "Your Highness, why did you come out? I have been waiting for you for a long time."

It was obvious that he had organized his words just now, but when he saw his smile, Gu Zhaozhao couldn't open his mouth anymore.Forget it, just treat him like a handsome idiot and keep him by your side.

Xie Beiluo took Gu Zhaozhao carefully to avoid the soldiers' patrol, and finally came to Xie Chengyan's "cell".

Pushing open the door, Gu Zhaozhao was shocked by the scene in front of him. Where is this cell?It is clearly an inn.

The decoration in the cell is simple and elegant, the area is not too big, but everything is there.

Facing the door is a low coffee table with tea sets neatly placed on it, a desk by the window, a bookshelf next to it, and even a dressing table.

There is a tall mahogany bed placed further in the room, and pots of orchids can be seen everywhere, exuding a faint fragrance.

I saw Xie Chengyan still wearing the white clothes this morning, kneeling on the coffee table and sipping tea, and there was a plate of delicate pastries on the table.

His life was much better than what Gu Zhaozhao had imagined. Looking at the cakes on his table, Gu Zhaozhao suddenly felt that the leftover cakes in the food box could not be sold.

Xie Chengyan sipped tea leisurely, enjoying his lady's afternoon tea time.His face was noble and indifferent, not at all what a suspect should look like, but more like a guest who lives here temporarily.

"Wow, are the prison conditions in Yiguo so good?" Gu Zhaozhao sighed looking at Xie Chengyan's comfortable little life, and she even wanted to experience life here.

Xie Chengyan was about to laugh at her for not seeing the world, but was interrupted by a familiar male voice.

"Of course not, I'm not a teacher..." Xie Beiluo almost blurted out the word "Senior Brother", "It's our son-in-law who has a noble status, otherwise do you think anyone is qualified to live in this kind of prison?"

"Xie Beiluo? Why are you here?" Xie Chengyan said suddenly, holding his teacup.

Xie Beiluo didn't expect that the senior brother would call out his name directly. He thought the senior brother would hide what they knew, so he panicked for a moment and forgot to answer Xie Chengyan's words.

Seeing the expression on Xie Beiluo's face, Gu Zhaozhao felt an inexplicable urge to protect the cub.

She turned towards Xie Chengyan and said, "Why are you scaring him? Xiao Luo is now my personal bodyguard, and will be responsible for protecting my safety in the future."

"Xiao Luo? I didn't know you had this name." Xie Chengyan held the teacup to his nose, sniffed the fragrance of tea, and a smile crossed the corner of his mouth.The name is pleasing to the ear.

Taking a sip of tea, Xie Chengyan said in a calm tone, "He's not suitable, let's change it."

"What?" Gu Zhaozhao didn't know whether Xie Chengyan said that the name Xiao Luo was bad, or that Xie Beiluo was bad.

"I have the ability to protect the princess!" Xie Beiluo clenched his fists and said stubbornly and firmly to Xie Chengyan. Tears welled up in the boy's eyes, and his face showed unshakable determination.

The young Xie Beiluo at this time really couldn't understand why his master and senior brother always treated him as a child even though he had grown up.
