The convoy carrying Gu Zhaozhao drove slowly towards the Zongren Mansion.

on the carriage.

Xiao Ran raised her eyebrows, and looked at Gu Zhaozhao with clear eyes, taking in the emotions on her face.

"Your Highness, are you feeling sorry for the late emperor? Or the son-in-law?"

Xiao Ran moved towards the place where Gu Zhaozhao was sitting, but because her body was not clean, she still didn't sit there.

Gu Zhaozhao looked at Xiao Ran and nodded and shook his head, but he didn't speak.

Her thoughts are in a mess now, and she faintly feels that this imprisonment is just the beginning, and the days to come may be even more difficult. It's better not to involve innocent people like Xiaoran.

Gu Zhaozhao bit his lip and said, "Xiao Ran, in my opinion, it's better for you to go back to Xiyun Pavilion first. I'm in prison now, and it's not safe for you to stay by my side."

Xiao Ran frowned slightly, looked at Gu Zhaozhao and said, "Xiao Ran will not go anywhere, just stay by His Highness's side."

"Does your Highness think that Xiaoran is the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and forgets righteousness for profit?"

Gu Zhaozhao silently glanced at the young man beside him. The young man's eyes were clear and slightly broken, like a wounded little animal, and his words were full of stubbornness.

"Forget it, follow if you like." Gu Zhaozhao twitched the corner of his mouth and said helplessly.

She really has no way to refuse a person who looks as pure as a little white rabbit, so she can only resort to delaying the attack first, and let Xie Chengyan be the villain when the time comes.

Hearing Gu Zhaozhao's answer, Xiao Ran couldn't hide a smile on his face, "Thank you Your Highness, Xiao Ran will definitely protect His Highness."

As long as he can be by Gu Zhaozhao's side, he will be the happiest.

There was a beaming atmosphere around Xiaoran, but Gu Zhaozhao was still shrouded in dark clouds.

The two were silent all the way, and the vehicle unknowingly drove to the front of the clan mansion.

"Your Highness!" As soon as the carriage stopped, Gu Zhaozhao heard a familiar voice.

"Xiao Luo, why are you here?" Xie Beiluo had a solar attribute, and Gu Zhaozhao felt less depressed when he saw him.

Xie Beiluo reached out to support Gu Zhaozhao, looked at Xiaoran who was following her, cleared his throat, and raised his voice deliberately, "The son-in-law is worried about His Highness's safety, so he specifically asked me to come and take care of him."

"Who is this man? I see that he can't carry it on his shoulders or his hands, so he shouldn't be here to be your maid."

Xie Beiluo poked his head over to look at Xiaoran carefully, without concealing the strong hostility on his body.

"Xiao Luo, don't be so rude." Gu Zhaozhao patted his hand lightly, reminding him to be merciful.

Xiao Ran looked at Xie Beiluo holding Gu Zhaozhao's hand, slowly raised her eyebrows to meet Xie Beiluo's gaze, and just smiled.

"Young master, you are joking. My name is Xiaoran. I am here to serve His Highness just like you." Xiaoran replied with a smile.

"It's enough to have me by your Highness's side. Whoever cares about you, I advise you to go back wherever you came from." Xie Beiluo stared at Xiaoran with his long and narrow dark eyes, and muttered dissatisfiedly.

From Xiaoran's expression, one could see that he was jealous of His Royal Highness. He couldn't let his sister-in-law fly away.

"Okay, Xiao Luo, you're going too far." Gu Zhaozhao stopped Xie Beiluo.

Gu Zhaozhao didn't expect Xie Beiluo to reject Xiaoran so much. This kid usually looks heartless, so he likes working with her so much.

"It's okay, Your Highness, Xiao Ran doesn't care about surprises, she just wants to serve His Highness and be loyal to His Highness." Xiao Ran still had that fake smile on her face.

Xie Beiluo saw through Xiaoran's complacent smile at a glance, and looked at Gu Zhaozhao who was standing aside watching the play, feeling very anxious.

"Your Highness!" Xie Beiluo said aggrievedly, but did not wait for Gu Zhaozhao's answer.

Gu Zhaozhao just pretended not to hear, she didn't want to participate in the little boy's struggle.

"Then I don't care about you." Seeing that Gu Zhaozhao didn't respond, Xie Beiluo threw out a word, then turned and walked in the opposite direction of Gu Zhaozhao.

"Let's go in first." Gu Zhaozhao said to the guard who brought her over before the ancestral mansion Fu Cheng came back.

From the corner of the eye, he looked at Xie Beiluo, who was not far away from the dog, and led Xiaoran to walk inside with ease.

Xie Beiluo looked back and saw that Gu Zhaozhao still had no intention of calling him. Although he felt a little upset, he turned around and followed her very consciously.

Gu Zhaozhao took Xiaoran to the cell where Xie Chengyan lived before.

Looking back at Xiaoran's dirty robe, Gu Zhaozhao raised his hand and pushed open the door, and the familiar white sandalwood on Xie Chengyan's face rushed towards him.

"Xiaoran, there should be clean clothes for men in here. Maybe they are in the closet. You should go in and change them first."

"Yes, Your Highness." Xiao Ran listened to Gu Zhaozhao's words and went in to find a change of clothes.

Xiao Ran insisted on staying in the clan's mansion, and the guards who brought them in earlier went to find an empty cell for him, and Xie Beiluo stayed somewhere, leaving Gu Zhaozhao alone to wait at the door.
