Mr. Gu gave him the look that said, "You continue to make up."

The prince swallowed and continued, "Third, I can now take in not only girls but boys as well..." The prince raised his eyebrows towards Mr. Gu, as if to say, "Praise me for my intelligence."

"Your Highness, have you ever thought about what you will do in the future..." Master Gu San pointed out without saying it directly.

"Of course I know, that's why I want to consider the people. Is there any problem?" The prince said with great righteousness.

Hearing him say this, Master Gu wanted to bang his head against his wall. Was this person really fit to be the emperor? Wouldn't he be a scourge to the country?

"Do you know how important the reputation of an official is?" Master Gu guided him sentence by sentence.

The prince scratched his head, "Is it important? The people are important."

"No."

"I just said..."

"But..." Mr. Gu interrupted the other party.

"Reputation is the primary means of manipulating public opinion. My Highness, in the eyes of the people, you are a cruel, merciless, greedy, and lustful person. Do you think the people will love and support such a person as their king?"

for a while

"It seems so!" The prince touched the tip of his nose.

"Tell me, I've been away for two years and you've caused so much trouble. You've been sitting too comfortably, haven't you?"

"I... I just want to try to do something on my own..." The prince's voice was a little low, but Mr. Gu San still heard it.

He sighed and said, "I understand how you feel, but you should also think about the consequences before doing anything..."

The prince lowered his head like a quail, like a child who had made a mistake.

"Your Highness..." The servant came running over in a panic, but when he saw his master's appearance, he shut up and stood silently behind his master with his head lowered even lower than his master.

He was secretly worried about his own prince. It seemed that his master had made a mistake again, but he didn't understand. Didn't the Third Master just come back? How could he make him angry?

Seeing them like this, it was hard to say anything. The person in front of him was no longer a ten-year-old child, so he couldn't treat him like a child. He rubbed his temples and said, "Xian, what happened that made you come here in such a hurry?"

The man called Xi'an raised his head slightly and glanced at Master Gu San, then lowered his head again and said, "No...nothing serious, it's just that a girl from Lanyue Tower brought a new maid..."

"Maid...you're just a maid, and you came here specially?" The prince interrupted him.

"This is different..." Xi'an whispered in the prince's ear.

"What? You said this guy was forced? Who has the guts to do that?" The prince said with a look of surprise and a hint of anger in his tone, "Let him go quickly. Don't scare the girl. You guys are ruining the reputation of Lanyue Tower."

Xian: "..." Didn't you ruin the reputation of Lanyue Tower?

Despite his complaints, Xi'an still said respectfully, "It wasn't all forced. The girl agreed later and even wrote a letter for Mengchun to take back to her to let her know she was safe."

"What's your family like? Is it poor?" the prince asked.

"Probably not. But I heard she's a rare beauty, and she has skills..."

"Skills... no matter what skills you have, they won't work! They're not starving. If you kidnap them, their parents will be worried..."

"Your Highness, her skills are very strong. Having her on the mission you assign to Mengchun will be like timely help."

The prince became more curious about her skills and touched his chin, "What skills?"

"She can transform an ordinary face into a stunning beauty."

"Oh~" The prince coughed lightly, "Since she agrees, let her stay here for now."

"Yes." Xian replied.

"Wait, what's this person's name?" Mr. Gu San suddenly asked.

Prince, "Teacher..."

"Cough." Mr. Gu Sanye coughed lightly.

The prince quickly changed his tone, "Third Master...why are you asking this?"

Mr. Gu sighed heavily, took a sip of tea and said helplessly, "What did I come here to ask you?"

"Oh, you asked if there are any new arrivals in Lanyue Tower." The prince's voice became lower and lower.

"Xian, what's that man's name? He doesn't even know how to say it completely..." the prince scolded Xian.

The guard named Xian rolled his eyes secretly. He thought, you didn't even ask!

Then he said respectfully, "Your Highness, Third Master, the woman's surname is Sun and her name is Yun."

"My surname is Sun and my name is Yun. I'm Sun Yun, Third Master." The prince echoed.

Mr. Gu Sanye tapped his fingers on the table, as if he was thinking about something.

"Do we need to let her go?" asked the prince.

Master Gu San, "Not for now, but you have to ensure her safety."

"All intact." Mr. Gu San added worriedly.

"What are you talking about, Third Master? Lanyue Tower is not a place for doing such dirty things.

"Your Highness, you are not a bad person..." Mr. Gu San stopped talking here.

The prince was still waiting in a daze for what the Third Master would say next. It was rare for the teacher to praise him, and the corners of his mouth were unconsciously curled up! But after waiting for a long time, the air was unusually quiet. He looked up in surprise.

Third Master Gu only sighed heavily, "I'll be leaving first. If a man named Xie comes to Lanyue Tower, remember to let me know."

"Ah! Just leaving?" The corners of the prince's mouth returned to normal, but there was also a hint of loneliness. It was rare to praise him, couldn't he be praised more?

"Your Highness is so smart. The Third Master must be afraid of praising you. You are too proud. After all, pride comes before a fall..." Xian stepped forward and comforted him at the right time.

When he reached the door, Master Gu San looked back, and those unspoken words also surfaced in his mind at this moment, "Prince, you are not a bad person. You know the suffering of the people and know how to care about them. But your character is too good, too kind, too soft-hearted and trusting. The kindness of the imperial family to the enemy is cruel to themselves. Governing a piece of land cannot be achieved by kindness alone... Sigh... Never mind, I still have to live a few more years..."

"Teacher, do you really think so?" Huang Jing's eyes lit up.

"Forget it, it's pointless to ask you. Remember to pay attention to the movements in Lanyue Tower, especially the one named Xie. If there is any news, report it to me immediately."

Xi'an, "Yes."

Huang Jing, "Well, go down!"

"and many more."

After walking ten meters, Xian retreated again.

"Protect Sun Yun for me, too. If even a hair of yours is missing, I'll hold you responsible."

"Remember, it has to be complete."

"Yes, I will definitely live up to my mission."

"Okay, let's go! Let's go! There's nothing for you to do here."

Xian had no choice but to slowly retreat towards the door.

"hold on."

"Yes, Your Highness, I'm here." Xian seemed to know the character of his master, and replied with a smile without moving two steps.

"Have you arranged anyone for the Emperor's uncle?"
