I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

"What's wrong?" The emperor wondered. Was there anything that Gu Changfeng didn't dare to say?

"The owner behind Yuelai Inn is... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

emperor:……

It’s really better not to say anything. He is such a mean person. What’s the point of asking?

"You mean the prince is colluding with the people of Dongyue?"

Gu Changfeng: "Not really, it's just..."

The drawn-out sound was like a death warrant, and the emperor instantly felt a chill running from his feet to his head.

Gu Changfeng, he wouldn't want to take action against the prince, right?

"But what?" The emperor tried his best to control his voice and not let it tremble.

But Gu Changfeng still heard it, he heard the emperor's fear.

"Your Highness has handled this matter very inappropriately."

Emperor: What did the prince do?

Gu Changfeng continued, "Why did they go to the inn and kidnap people without knowing the truth? Fortunately, they only met me and didn't let anyone kidnap Princess Dingguo. If it weren't for me, those people would have successfully kidnapped Princess Dingguo, and the Crown Prince would have been in big trouble."

This time the emperor learned his lesson and did not ask any further questions.

However, Gu Changfeng didn't care whether the emperor listened or not, and just kept talking to himself.

"Your Majesty, please instruct His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to offend anyone around Princess Dingguo."

Perhaps in the eyes of others, Qiao Linxi was just a wild girl from the countryside who was lucky enough to be named Princess Dingguo.

But in Gu Changfeng's eyes, it was not like that. Qiao Linxi was a heroine with a dazzling halo. She was the author's own daughter, who could fight back wherever she was, and could also bring down a large number of villains.

If the prince is so foolish as to provoke anyone around Qiao Linxi, then his position as prince will be over.

Normally, Gu Changfeng seldom cared about the princes and basically never discussed them. But tonight he suddenly mentioned the crown prince, which made the emperor suddenly feel a chill on his back.

"Changfeng."

He rarely calls Gu Changfeng like this, but once he does, it means he has something to ask Gu Changfeng.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Among my princes, the crown prince is the most outstanding, and his mother's family is also strong enough. I am relieved that he will inherit the throne in the future. You see..."

The emperor's tone was filled with pleading: "Can you please not do anything to him? He is my most outstanding son."

"Puchi..." Gu Changfeng chuckled, "Your Majesty, you worry too much. I just reminded Your Majesty to advise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How could I attack the crown prince? Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince chosen by Your Majesty, after Your Majesty dies, I will naturally assist the new emperor loyally."

"Oh! I really envy your endless longevity. Immortality." The emperor changed the subject again.

Every emperor wants to live forever, including the emperor, but he knows that he is just a mortal, how can he live forever?

It’s not like there haven’t been emperors in the past who have sought the way to immortality, but they all ended in failure.

"I don't quite understand. Since you have an infinite lifespan, why would you be willing to do such a humble job as a servant?"

While the emperor was speaking, Gu Changfeng put his hand on his shoulder and massaged his shoulders.

"I have no desires or requests, but I have to find something to do so that my life won't be like a stagnant pool of water."

"I have to say, your service skills are really amazing. If you were a woman, I would definitely make you my queen."

This made Gu Changfeng laugh: "I have served many generations of kings, and I have accumulated a wealth of experience."

After helping the emperor to sleep, Gu Changfeng left the palace, looked up at the bright night sky, and murmured, "Is the world going to be in chaos?"

After saying that, Gu Changfeng tightened his cloak and walked out.

The weather gradually became cooler after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Gu Changfeng began to feel a little uncomfortable.

"Manager Gu, do you feel cold?"

A young eunuch was waiting for Gu Changfeng outside the bedroom. In this palace, there was almost no eunuch who didn't know that Gu Changfeng was afraid of the cold.

"some."

A gust of night wind blew, and Gu Changfeng got goose bumps all over his body. Is the snow going to fall early this year? Is he going to retreat early?

For some reason, some people found out where he was in seclusion last year, and they tried to assassinate him when he was at his weakest.

Although they were all mortals, they still hurt themselves. In order to save their lives, they had no choice but to force themselves to wake up from their deep sleep.

Fortunately, there are Qiao Linxi and the jade pendant.

This year, there is no need to bother looking for a place to retreat. I can just stay with Qiao Linxi. The dragon spirit in her body can nourish me.

"There is hot chicken soup prepared in the carriage. The butler will be able to drink it as soon as he gets on board."

"Good work."

Gu Changfeng nodded at the young eunuch and quickened his pace towards the palace gate.

The young eunuch followed behind him and looked at the somewhat lonely figure, feeling a little chilled.

Manager Gu is such a good guy, why do all people say he is a big devil who kills people without blinking an eye?

In this cannibalistic palace, eunuchs and palace maids are the lowest class of people.

They are also treasures in the hands of their parents at home. If they were not forced to do so, who would be willing to send their children to the palace to be tortured by those nobles?

The maids and eunuchs who worked in the palace had their heads on their belts. The nobles did not treat their servants as human beings and would beat them to death at any time. If we talk about demons, these nobles are the demons.

There was no maid or eunuch working in the palace who had not been taken care of by Chief Steward Gu. It was also because of Chief Steward Gu that the death rate of eunuchs and maids had dropped a lot in recent years.

He is clearly the hope of their group, so why does everyone avoid him?

Gu Changfeng did see warm chicken soup in the carriage after leaving the palace. The servants in the Gu Mansion knew that he would be particularly afraid of cold in autumn, so they would prepare hot chicken soup with warming medicine every night after work.

"Go to the Princess's Mansion."

After drinking the chicken soup, Gu Changfeng felt more energetic and wanted to find Qiao Linxi.

He had something to say to her.

The driver of the carriage was from the Gu Mansion. After hearing this, he did not say whether it was appropriate to go to the Princess's Mansion so late, but just followed orders.

As soon as Qiao Linxi came out of the shower, she saw Gu Changfeng standing in her room.

The slender figure had his back to the candlelight, and the flickering candlelight made his shadow even longer.

Gu Changfeng stood there motionlessly, with no one around him. For some reason, Qiao Linxi felt that this scene was somewhat desolate.

Having lived for so long, Gu Changfeng must be lonely.

"How did you come?"

Qiao Linxi, who always had a bad tone towards Gu Changfeng, spoke to him in a gentle voice for the first time.

"I miss you, so I came here."

Gu Changfeng turned around and looked at Qiao Linxi, who was not wearing any makeup.

Qiao Linxi curled her lips and said, Gu Changfeng is like a dog that can't spit out ivory.

"What about you? Did you miss me?" Gu Changfeng really hadn't seen Qiao Linxi for a long time.
