The palace was heavily guarded.
Ordinary people can't get in.
Zhou Zhizhi looked around and felt that she had never seen these Imperial Guards before.
Although he couldn't possibly see all the Imperial Guards, he had actually become familiar with many of them after being under the Emperor's command for so long.
This means that the Crown Prince has already replaced even his personal guards.
This time, he was indeed very decisive and quite clever in his actions.
However, he did not see the emperor.
Xiao Xiyou also had a slight understanding of what this meant.
He glanced meaningfully at Zhou Zhizhi, who was standing next to him.
I roughly understood the situation.
But there are some things that can't be said openly.
"If I'm not mistaken, Eunuch Cao is probably in the imperial prison right now, so how could he be here?"
The Second Prince never took such scoundrels' words seriously, and Eunuch Cao held a grudge against the Second Prince for the previous incident.
They spoke without any politeness, and after hearing this, Eunuch Cao's smile deepened.
"Your Highness, that's not a good idea. His Majesty has come to his senses, released me, and pardoned me. What's wrong with that?"
Eunuch Cao was already very angry, and now he finally had a chance to argue with the Second Prince.
Seeing that the situation was slightly amiss, Zhou Zhizhi quickly stopped the Second Prince.
It's not entirely clear whether or not to break ties with Eunuch Cao now.
"Eunuch Cao, the Second Prince is a bit impatient sometimes, please don't mind."
Zhou Zhizhi's face was full of smiles as she said this. Strangely, she already knew what Grassroot Fruit was.
However, when you're being evasive, you should still pretend that nothing has happened.
Xiao Xiyou's expression was rather complex, and upon hearing this, he didn't say anything more.
Zhou Zhizhi sometimes does have a clearer mind than I do, so keeping quiet at this time would actually be better for her.
But what they didn't expect was that they would run into the Fifth Princess on their way back.
The Fifth Princess is the Empress's youngest daughter, but she is used to being arrogant and domineering and never takes others seriously, especially disliking Zhou Zhizhi.
Upon seeing the two of them, it was natural to mock them.
"Isn't this the Imperial Advisor?"
"And my second brother."
The Fifth Princess was naturally very clear about all the things that had happened before.
So now, if I can catch a few people and mock them, I'll definitely do so.
After all, this guy, who's used to being unemployed, doesn't even respect anyone.
Although it's someone I dislike, they are still of a higher generation.
Zhou Zhizhi bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Princess!"
After Zhou Zhizhi finished speaking, she looked at the princess in front of her, whose appearance was extremely exquisite.
There's really nothing to say; she's just a beautiful fool.
The Fifth Princess felt a little smug when she heard this.
"Second brother, are you really going to allow someone like this to stay by your side forever?"
"Sister Yu is really sad and in tears because of you. Don't you care at all?"
The Fifth Princess was slightly angry when she said this.
Chen Yu has always been fond of the Second Prince; this is common knowledge throughout the capital.
Moreover, she and the Fifth Princess were close friends.
“What you said, little sister, is quite interesting, but no matter how interesting it is, you still need to know some manners.”
Xiao Xiyou never takes anyone seriously, so he'll confront anyone who can.
In any case, they're the type who won't let themselves suffer even the slightest injustice.
When the princess heard this, her face did indeed darken, because she never expected that after she had already lowered herself so much to speak to him, he would still act like this.
"What my second brother said is really interesting."
"If you don't like Sister Yu, then why bother with her at all..."
Xiao Xiyou looked up, clearly wanting to know what he had done to be bothered by these two so much, because it was really annoying.
If we know the reason, then we definitely need to make some changes.
The princess didn't say anything more, but simply shut her mouth at a very opportune moment.
"If there's anything, I hope you can explain it clearly at once, because there might be some misunderstanding."
"I have already made myself perfectly clear about Miss Yu."
Xiao Xiyou remained as cold and indifferent as ever, showing absolutely no mercy or pity for women.
After hearing this, Zhou Zhizhi felt a little sorry for that girl, Yu.
After hearing this, the princess snorted coldly and left without saying anything more.
Zhou Zhizhi actually knew that this princess had never been kind to her, so she didn't care much at all.
However, there is a major problem: she is actually a woman.
There are many things you may have to get involved in, and if you encounter these kinds of people, you'll also have a lot of trouble.
"Don't worry about getting rich."
"She was just a clueless little girl."
Xiao Xiyou explained these words with a slightly awkward expression.
Zhou Zhizhi nodded obediently.
However, Xiao Xiyou couldn't help him with other matters.
Zhou Zhizhi returned to her residence.
Moreover, even though he is now the Grand Preceptor, he still receives invitations to many events.
"Sir, your maternal grandfather has come again."
The butler was also embarrassed, managing only a forced, cheerful laugh.
When Zhou Zhizhi heard this, her expression turned cold.
"Didn't we tell them not to come again? Why are they here again?"
The butler didn't know what else to say.
After all, this is the host family's private matter.
He didn't want to get involved and say anything.
Zhou Zhizhi didn't actually see her maternal grandfather very often.
After all, the two people have different ideas.
Originally, he was the only one in the mansion, and the remaining servants and such were rather scattered.
But everyone did everything they were supposed to do very well.
But every time my maternal grandfather came, the whole household would become very tense.
Zhou Zhizhi knew that her mother and her maternal grandfather did not have a very good relationship.
Therefore, there's no need to be overly polite.
I straightened my clothes, took a deep breath, and went straight inside.
