Chapter 378 Flattered
The southeast coast is still counting on Zhang Gaoqiu. Even if the emperor knows that Zhang Gaoqiu has done many things that should not be done behind his back, the emperor can only turn a blind eye and close one eye, pretending not to know.

When leaving, Gu Changyuan heard the emperor muttering to himself: "There are some accounts that have to be settled after all, but it's just not the time."

It was late at night when Gu Changyuan left the palace and returned to Prince Xuan's mansion.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiaoqiao was waiting in his yard.

She sat upright on the chair, and the teacup in front of her was completely cold.

When the servants said that the prince was back, she immediately stood up and slowly bowed her knees.

"My lord is back."

She looked calm and unashamed.

It seems that none of those things were done by her.

Gu Changyuan ignored her.

Zhang Qiaoqiao looked up and saw that there was a wound on his head, and she asked in amazement, "My lord hasn't seen anyone this day, where did he go? Why is he still injured?"

Gu Changyuan asked: "You seem surprised when this king goes out?"

"My lord is under confinement, try to avoid going out as much as possible."

"You're right." Gu Changyuan nodded, "This king's confinement will be lifted from tomorrow, but yours will start from tomorrow. Congratulations."

"What the prince is talking about, I can't understand."

She still doesn't know that she has lost her position as princess, and has changed from a side concubine to a general servant of Prince Xuan's mansion, and her status is not even as respectable as the first-class maids and nuns around Gu Changyuan.

Gu Changyuan took the warm towel from the servant girl's hand, cleaned his face, took a sip of tea, and then said unhurriedly: "I already know all the good things you have done. Mingren don't speak secretly, you Don't pretend. I just want to ask you, did you kill Imperial Physician Dong because he could diagnose your fake pregnancy?"

"My lord was joking, how could I, a woman with no strength to restrain a chicken, do such a thing."

"You can even do it to yourself, let alone someone else." Gu Changyuan felt his mind go numb, and his voice turned into icicles, "It's hard for your father to get a poison like Three Day Nightmare. Using something worth tens of thousands of gold on this king really flatters me."

"How do you..."

"How do I know something like the Three Day Nightmare?"

Gu Changyuan showed a strange smile, "Thank you for helping me, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to remember the name of this thing."

Zhang Qiaoqiao frowned and looked at him, feeling a little terrified in her heart.

Gu Changyuan continued slowly: "I have already told my father the truth that you are not pregnant, and my father was furious, deprived you of the title of princess, and demoted you from the side concubine of King Xuan to a commoner. For the rest of your life, you will only I can stay in Prince Xuan's Mansion to do laundry and sweep the floor."

The more Zhang Qiaoqiao listened, the paler her face became.

She stood up abruptly, her voice trembling: "You are lying to me."

"Do you think this king looks like someone who is willing to waste his lips and tongue joking with you?"

"Why? Why exactly?" The coldness ran from the soles of the feet to the forehead, spread to the limbs, and Zhang Qiaoqiao's body began to tremble, "I did this to help you, so that you can get the supreme status ! Don't you want that position?"

"think."

Gu Chang Yuan bent his lips and smiled, "But it's not controlled by you."

Zhang Qiaoqiao clenched her fists and roared in a low voice: "After dawn, it will be the emperor's birthday. By then, everything will be a foregone conclusion! Without this child in my belly, you will completely lose to the Three Kings!"
