After closing the letter, Xie Zhaozhao looked at Gu Shaoyu intently for a few moments.
“If you look closely, you do not look much like the Earl and the others,” Xie Zhaozhao said softly. “You do not resemble the Old Madam or the Gu family.”
Gu Shaoyu said, "When the old Marquis was alive, no one questioned my appearance. I was confined to the mansion until I was three years old, and then confined to the Xie family's private school. After the old Marquis passed away, I left the capital and did not return until I was seventeen to take the imperial examination. I have never shown my face in front of people in the capital."

Xie Zhaozhao said, "The reason I told you about Guan Yingying's past today is to say that the Crown Prince must have recognized Guan Yingying, after all, he used to pay a lot of attention to this lucky star."
The reason he didn't expose her identity or Gu Chengyan was that he had a fatal weakness in Gu Chengyan and Guan Yingying, and he wanted to use her special skills to create a secret weapon. Another reason was that he knew Gu Chengyan was harboring a fugitive, which meant that he would always keep the Earl's Mansion, especially you, Gu Shaoyu, in his grasp.
Guan Yingying is incredibly important to the Crown Prince. If news of her death reaches his ears, even though the Earl is already gone, he will surely seek revenge on the Earl's family, and we will likely face the same fate.
"Then I'll take my revenge on him before he makes a move. The Crown Prince forced the Earl to his death; we can't just let it go like this," Gu Shaoyu said calmly.
Wasn't the Crown Prince so eager to find Guan Yingying? It's simply because he's craving the drug and can't live without the panacea. Then, continue giving it to him!
