Zhuang Li secretly glanced at Prime Minister Zhao, who was standing in the front of the group bowing respectfully. She could not figure out what game he was playing. It was at this moment that the gatekeeper rushed to the front of the main hall.

" Come, come! The esteemed guest has arrived! "

What the heck … Wasn't that the two people she bumped into in the afternoon!?

The Sixth Prince didn't notice her as she listened to the movements on the main table. The bodyguard dressed in horse robes also stood at the door and did not eat with them, she lowered her head and chewed on the rice ball in front of her as if she was chewing on wax. Occasionally, she would raise her head to see Old Prime Minister Zhao's fawning face, where Zhao Qin stared at the Sixth Prince with sparks of love in her eyes.

The current Western Regions were not peaceful. After harassing the border cities with Phoenix Dynasty for a long time, when the Sixth Prince wanted to clean up the Western Regions, he swore to follow the Sixth Prince until his death.

Only after a long time did Zhuang Li understand the deep meaning behind that meal from many years ago. The Prime Minister Zhao was originally a corrupt and corrupt Ninth Elder. Because the Emperor had made up his mind to investigate strictly about corruption, the Ninth Prince, upon sensing that the situation was not good, decided to find a scapegoat of sufficient weight to report to the Emperor. This matter had fallen on the Prime Minister Zhao, to bear the guilt of corrupting the treasury and selling off the soldiers' grains for the Old Ninth Party.

The Prime Minister Zhao had been a government official for many years, so naturally he was as smart as a ghost. He had already decided to protect his own life, and at this critical moment, he decided to seek protection for the Six Emperor Party. In order to quickly stabilize himself within the Six Emperor Party, he forced himself to sell his daughter to the Sixth Prince.

" "Little girl, you should lift your head to take a look. Why do I feel that you look a little familiar?"

Prime Minister Zhao hurriedly introduced her. "This is my little girl, Zhao Ci. She doesn't understand the rules, why aren't she raising her head!"

?" Zhuang Li clenched her fist and admitted her misfortune.

" "It seems like you really are not suited to stay in the capital. Tomorrow morning, I will send you back to your home in Gansu Province."

" "Father …" Before Zhuang Li could say anything, Old Prime Minister Zhao got up and left. The big house behind him snorted in schadenfreude, and didn't look at Zhuang Li again.

Zhuang Li had a headache due to her nagging. She sat on the wooden bed, and her feet couldn't even reach the ground as she dangled in midair, swaying unsteadily. That old master had never made her feel like a loving father, his high position and authority, his hypocrisy and greed had probably long corroded his high school's top scholar's ambition and mentality. How could she expect him to think about a dead woman and pity a child that was of no use to him?

"We have to hurry on our way today. Get up quickly. What time is it!"

" I am not in a hurry to be reborn, after all, I am the young miss of Zhao Mansion here, and even if I go to Gansu Province, I would be this young miss of Zhao Mansion, and the old lady who half of her body is in a coffin, so who was the one who trained her to be so ignorant? "

" Miss, please don't be angry. I was worried that Miss might have overslept and missed her trip. "After all, you all have to travel a long way today. If you are delayed, you won't be able to get to the relay station at night. I also don't want Miss's golden body to sleep in the wilderness."
