So he kept tolerating it.
Unexpectedly, the eldest prince was even less patient than him.
Zhou Zhizhi felt somewhat embarrassed, after all, the address she had heard from the system wouldn't be entirely credible if she just said it out loud.
While he was still thinking of some convincing excuses, Xiao Xiyou stood up.
"Let's go, come back to the palace with me."
The palace is now in complete chaos.
I didn't want to go before because I didn't want to join in the fun.
But if someone insists on forcing them to go out, then they have no choice but to obediently go out.
Zhou Zhizhi didn't expect that this person would trust her so easily.
I was quite touched, so after packing my things, I quickly went to the palace with him.
A few days ago, things were a bit lively in the uterus, but now everyone is filled with anxiety.
He was terrified that he might lose his head if he wasn't careful.
"The Second Prince is back?"
Xiao Xiyou waited and saw the eunuch who had previously served his father.
It had actually been a long time since they had met, except for a few times in the imperial court.
But all of that was just empty talk; it doesn't count at all.
"Eunuch Cao, how is my father?"
"How are you feeling?"
With one hand holding a whisk and the other hand in a delicate, orchid-like gesture, Eunuch Cao said in a high-pitched voice, "His Majesty's health has improved somewhat these past two days, but the weather is getting cooler at night, and the eunuch on duty yesterday was lazy."
"The windows of the imperial bedchamber were not closed, which caused the Emperor to catch a cold. If the Second Prince wants to see the Emperor, he may have to wait a while longer."
Eunuch Cao had a rather gentle voice and a rather feminine appearance.
Although he was speaking with a smile, his smile was uglier than his tears.
Right after saying that, Eunuch Cao turned around and looked at Zhou Zhizhi as if she were some interesting trinkets.
"Why did the Imperial Preceptor come to the palace with the Second Prince today?"
"But is something the matter?"
Zhou Zhizhi smiled awkwardly: "The Second Prince asked me to come with him to get some things."
"And may I inquire whether His Majesty is in good health?"
Zhou Zhizhi smiled more brightly, and also had a harmless feeling about her.
After hesitating for a moment, Eunuch Cao finally stepped aside to make way for them.
"Since that's the case, it's getting late. If you two aren't staying in the palace tonight, you should hurry up and take your things and leave."
He was speaking more and more like a master of the palace.
However, both of them knew in their hearts that whoever was now in control of the government was unwilling to provoke this Eunuch Cao again.
Xiao Xiyou nodded and continued walking forward.
Zhou Zhizhi couldn't be as carefree as him; he was a prince, and the emperor's son at that.
No matter what kind of person Eunuch Cao is, his status is incomparable to his.
But Zhou Zhizhi was different. This eunuch Cao dared to speak to the old general like that today, and so rudely at that, so naturally he didn't take them seriously.
He bowed very formally with both hands in a gesture of respect and slowly said, "Then I'll take my leave, Father-in-law."
Zhou Zhizhi knew very well that a moment of forbearance could bring lasting peace and tranquility. Which one was more important?
Eunuch Cao squinted slightly, thinking that this Imperial Advisor was indeed quite shrewd.
There's no need to teach anything; you can grasp these concepts directly.
"Your Excellency, please hurry and catch up. It will get dark soon, and we should leave the palace as soon as possible."
Eunuch Cao squinted slightly, clearly quite fond of the Imperial Advisor.
Zhou Zhizhi nodded obediently and turned around to follow Xiao Xiyou without saying anything more.
No one knows what kind of person this Eunuch Cao is, but it's definitely not something I can afford to provoke right now.
Xiao Xiyou walked faster and soon arrived at his bedroom.
After glancing around and finding no one else around, he became bolder and walked to the First Prince's palace.
These individuals seemed extremely wary, as if they had done something wrong.
"Xiao Cui, come here."
Xiao Xiyou was a talented and handsome man, and even the maids in the palace were very fond of him.
It might not have been like this when we were young, but as we grow up, we come to understand many of these principles.
The second prince, being a man of great wisdom, naturally understood what this person was thinking, and he just needed to take advantage of that.
Xiao Cui was watering the garden when she heard the Second Prince calling her, so she quickly ran over.
While running, he kept glancing around, as if afraid of being discovered.
"Xiao Cui greets Your Highness the Second Prince and the Imperial Preceptor."
Xiao Cui has a rather delicate appearance, and her eyes look particularly clear.
But how could someone who has lived in this palace all their life possibly be innocent?
"Has anything else happened in your palace these past few days, Your Majesty?"
In fact, many people don't come to this back garden very often.
Xiao Cui looked around and hesitated slightly.
If you are working in the Crown Prince's palace, you must not tell other people what is being discussed there.
"Second Prince, it's nothing."
"Where did you hear some unreliable information?"
Xiao Cui forced a smile, feeling that she could indeed fool others now.
That smile, in truth, can't fool anyone else.
Xiao Xiyou gave Xiao Cui a deep look, realizing that some things might not be as simple as he had imagined.
Xiao Cui had been coming to her bedchamber to tell her all sorts of gossip.
But now that he may have become a prince, there is absolutely no possibility of him inheriting the throne.
"Xiao Cui, I may know some things, I hope you're not lying to me."
He's now speaking very politely and tactfully, since he's no longer referring to himself as "this king."
Xiao Cui had grown up in the palace since she was a child, always serving others. This was the first time she had ever seen such a kind master.
He kept rubbing his hands together, looking very nervous.
She looked around anxiously, afraid of being discovered, but in this situation, she either had to break ties with the Second Prince or tell him everything.
Zhou Zhizhi stood to the side, truly filled with admiration.
Xiao Xiyou, that bastard, used his good looks to deceive the hearts of countless girls.
