When he said this, he paused. Gu Lingyue guessed that the man was his father.

As expected, Long Shang said, "My mother saved my father. He was assassinated while on an incognito tour. He was injured and was saved by my mother. During the time my father was recovering from his injury, the two of them fell in love with each other..."

At first, my grandparents didn’t approve of the two of them being together, but in the end, my mother got pregnant with me, and they had no choice but to agree to their marriage. At that time, my master had no room for maneuver and left Tianxia Diyizhuang..."

Long Shang laughed bitterly. "After my father and my mother got married, he only stayed in Tianxia Diyizhuang for more than half a month every year. The rest of the time, we didn't know what he was doing, and he explained to us that he was doing business..."

"You believed him just because he said he was doing business?" Gu Lingyue asked puzzledly.

His man is so smart now, so he shouldn't have been stupid when he was young, right? And his grandparents.

One of them is the owner of the number one manor in the world, and the other is a princess of the previous dynasty. How come they didn’t understand the lies told by Emperor Tianqi?

"Every time he came back, he always brought a lot of things, including money. Although my grandparents had their suspicions, he was very kind to me and my mother at that time, so my grandparents didn't investigate further, and I..."

Long Shang didn't say anything else after saying this, but his thoughts had drifted back to his childhood. At that time, he lived in happiness every day, and his father would accompany him and his mother every time he came back. He felt very happy at that time, so how could he doubt him?

Seeing this, Gu Lingyue did not ask any more questions, but let Long Shang stay with his master. She left quietly and returned to her room to take a shower. Then she simply made two bowls of instant noodles, added a piece of ham, a fried egg, and a few rapeseed leaves.

Gu Lingyue asked Long Shang to come out for dinner and told him that she would be going out soon.

"I'll go with you." Long Shang said.

They entered the space at the Western Shu Imperial Palace, and should have left there as well.

He was worried about letting his Yue'er go out alone to face those people outside.

"Your arm is injured and you can't move, so it's inconvenient to go out. Don't worry, if there is any danger I will enter the space, and nothing will happen." Gu Lingyue insisted.

After hearing this, Long Shang thought about it and finally compromised, and warned: "Be sure to be careful. If you find any danger, enter the space in time."

Gu Lingyue nodded in agreement. After the two finished their meal, Long Shang went to see his master, while Gu Lingyue returned to the house and took a nap before leaving the space.

When she came out, it was dark again and there were more patrols in the palace. Gu Lingyue had not walked far when she heard a team of uniform footsteps coming towards her. She quickly hid and waited until the patrol passed before she carefully walked towards the bedroom where Concubine Duan lived.

At this time, in Concubine Duan's bedroom.

Duanpin looked at Kou Ze in disbelief and said, "These two are truly amazing. They managed to escape safely despite being surrounded by so many imperial guards! It seems like our plan really has a chance of success this time."

Kou Ze did not answer his mother's words. He lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

At this time, a figure walked in.

When Duanpin was about to scold, she looked up and saw that the person she was talking to was now looking at her with a smile on his face.

"Princess Jing...Princess Jing?" Concubine Duan screamed in surprise.

How could this happen? Why haven't they left the palace yet? What if they're found?

Upon hearing this, Kou Ze looked towards the bedroom door and saw Gu Lingyue walking towards them. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He stood up and walked towards Gu Lingyue, smiling and saying, "I knew you were okay."

At this time, Duanpin saw that Gu Lingyue was alone, and there was no sign of Long Shang behind her. He hurriedly asked, "Where is Prince Jing?"

Could Prince Jing be caught? Thinking of this, her heart began to lift again.

"He's in a very safe place, don't worry, Concubine Duan." After saying that, he looked at Kou Ze and said, "Is the Fifth Prince leaving the palace? If so, could you give me a ride?"

"Okay." Kou Ze agreed with a smile.

Not to mention that they are in a cooperative relationship now, even if they are not, he was the one who brought the person in. For his own safety, he should take the person out of the palace.

The palace has been under strict inspection these days. Concubine Duan was afraid that Kou Ze would be caught, so she had Gu Lingyue dressed up as a palace maid before letting them leave.

No one stopped the carriage along the way from Concubine Duan's bedroom to the palace gate, but the carriage was stopped when it was leaving the palace gate.

"Stop!" A guard at the palace gate stopped Kou Ze's carriage.

"The person in the carriage is our Fifth Prince." Kou Ze's personal bodyguard Bei Ye said.

The imperial guard stepped forward and said, "Your Highness the Fifth Prince has been offended. Thieves have appeared in the palace again. Anyone leaving the palace will be inspected."

Gu Lingyue, who was behind Kou Ze, curled her lips when she heard this.

This is just an excuse. Shouldn't she go back and collect all the things that were confiscated from the palace? Otherwise, she would be branded as a thief in vain!

Kou Ze said angrily through the carriage curtain, "How dare you! Do you need to search my palace before I leave?"

"Your Highness, please calm down. We are just following orders. Please cooperate."

Kou Ze felt a little worried when he heard this.

He glanced at Gu Lingyue.

Gu Lingyue blinked at him, signaling him not to worry.

Kou Ze then snorted coldly and lifted the curtain, "If you want to investigate, hurry up and don't delay my highness's night of pleasure."

After saying this, he deliberately looked at Gu Lingyue beside him in an ambiguous manner.

Gu Lingyue was speechless. This guy's imagination was a bit too big.

The imperial guard was embarrassed when he heard this. "As you command."

After saying this, he looked at Gu Lingyue and asked, "May I ask, Your Highness, who is this person beside you?"

"What happened to the woman that my mother gave me?"

The Imperial Guard swallowed hard, "Nothing... nothing."

He glanced at Gu Lingyue, turned around and ordered, "Search."

Then a team of imperial guards came forward and began to search the carriage.

In the end, they found nothing and had to let them go.

After leaving the palace, Kou Ze finally let out a long sigh, "I had no choice but to say that just now. I apologize for any offense. Please forgive me, Princess Jing."

Gu Lingyue smiled faintly, "No problem."

She is not a person who cannot tell right from wrong. He said that just to take her out of the palace. How could she blame him?
