Despite Eunuch Wei’s positive words, the Emperor said in a deep voice, "Zhen is still worried."

As he spoke, he was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed.

Eunuch Wei hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

The Emperor said, "Zhen is going to check on imperial concubine mother. Having been treated unfairly today in the Huaqing Palace, she must be upset. If Zhen doesn’t show up, there will be rumors in the palace that Zhen doesn’t value her."

Eunuch Wei, having served in the palace for many years, understood this reasoning very well.

However, the Emperor's body was still weak, and the imperial physician had advised him to have a proper rest.

Eunuch Wei earnestly advised, "Your Majesty, your top priority is to take care of your health. Imperial concubine dowager will surely understand. As for the palace maids and eunuchs, imperial concubine dowager is Your Majesty’s mother no matter what, who dares to treat her with disrespect?"

Except for the one in Renshou Palace, of course.

Eunuch Wei added in his mind.

He continued, "If Your Majesty is truly concerned, this servant can make several trips on Your Majesty’s behalf."

Eunuch Wei was a trusted aide of the Emperor, and his actions largely represented the stance of the Emperor to a large extent. His frequent visits to the nunnery would certainly make people afraid of offending Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing.

The Emperor still insisted on going, but as soon as he lifted the quilt and stood up, he felt dizzy and his vision blurred. He plopped back onto the dragon bed.

It seemed that he wouldn't be able to go for a while.

"Your Majesty." Eunuch Wei helped the Emperor lie down again, tucked him in with a thin quilt, and suddenly thought of something. He asked, "Your Majesty, did you mention your nightmare to imperial concubine dowager today?"

The Emperor replied, "No, why?"

Eunuch Wei smiled awkwardly and said, "Ah... Nothing. It's just that when the Empress Dowager came to visit Your Majesty earlier, imperial concubine dowager suddenly mentioned that you had a nightmare. How did she know about the nightmare? This servant doesn’t remember telling her."

The Emperor furrowed his brow.

After a moment, he casually said, "Perhaps when imperial concubine mother brought medicine earlier, she overheard our conversation outside the door."

Was that really the case?

Why did he vaguely feel that the imperial concubine dowager's expression was a bit strange at that time?

However, Eunuch Wei didn't dare to say such things. Maybe he had just misjudged.

After leaving the palace, Gu Jiao didn't go to the medical hall or return to Bishui Alley. Instead, she went to Qinghe Academy.

Just as Gu Chengfeng finished using the latrine and was pulling up his pants, a small hand suddenly reached out and dragged him out!

Gu Chengfeng's underwear almost fell to the ground!

He tightly grabbed his waistband and turned to look at the person who pulled him onto the wall. At once, his face turned red with anger, "You little brat! What kind of hobby is this? Peeping at men taking off their pants in broad daylight!"

Those who knew would say this was his younger sister; those who knew nothing would think she was some kind of perverted sicko!

Gu Jiao glanced at him disdainfully, "Who wants to peep at you while you’re taking off your pants? Do you think you're good-looking or something? It’s just a tiny thing anyway."

A tiny thing?

Gu Chengfeng fell off the wall with a thud!

He fell outside Qinghe Academy, which was exactly what Gu Jiao wanted. Gu Jiao tapped her toe on top of the wall and gracefully landed beside Gu Chengfeng.

With her hands behind her back, she bent over and watched Gu Chengfeng, who was hopelessly lying on the ground.

Gu Chengfeng felt that if he died prematurely one day, it must be this brat that angered him to death.

Truly killing someone without shedding blood. What did she mean by calling it a tiny thing?

Gu Chengfeng's male pride was mercilessly crushed. He wished he could ask her if she was blind!

He had always thought his little brother was extremely mighty until one day, by chance, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Liulang's...

Since then, he had remained silent.

Gu Jiao didn't intentionally go to the outhouse to catch people. It was just that there were too many people in other parts of Qinghe Academy, and Gu Yan's presence could be felt everywhere.

This was probably the telepathic connection between twins. As soon as she got close, Gu Yan seemed to sense it.

There was only one place where Gu Yan wouldn't come looking for her, and that was the outhouse for men.

As it turned out, Gu Yan had underestimated his older sister's shamelessness.

Gu Jiao didn't have a cleanliness obsession, but she still made Gu Chengfeng wash his hands by the river.

Gu Chengfeng, who was constantly despised: "..."

After getting on the carriage, Gu Chengfeng asked Gu Jiao, "I disappeared from the academy without even leaving a word behind, which is not good for my reputation. I'm a student, and I need to study."

Gu Jiao took out a silver banknote worth five hundred taels and placed it on the table in the carriage.

Gu Chengfeng opened his mouth and said, "Even if the academy doesn't pursue it, if it reaches my grandfather's ears, I will still face some punishment."

Gu Jiao took out another silver banknote worth five hundred taels and placed it on the table.

Gu Chengfeng silently put the silver banknotes into his pocket, saying, "It really doesn't matter if I get silver banknotes or not. The main thing is I want to help you. So, tell me, where are we going this time?"

Gu Jiao replied, "The imperial palace."

Gu Chengfeng suddenly felt the silver banknotes in his pocket heated up... Was it too late to regret now?

Gu Jiao could openly enter the palace, but Gu Chengfeng wasn't so lucky. As an outsider, it wasn't easy for him to enter the palace. He had no apparent relationship with Renshou Palace, and the Empress Dowager wouldn’t summon him. The Emperor also had no reason to meet the second young master of the Marquis Ding'an Estate.

What was more, he couldn't expose his identity. Therefore, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and climb over the tall palace walls.

The two of them met near the imperial nunnery.

Just as Gu Jiao arrived, Gu Chengfeng followed suit.

Gu Jiao raised an eyebrow. He moved very quickly, he seemed to be very skilled in this kind of work.

"Have you been to the palace before?" Gu Jiao asked.

"How is that possible? The palace isn't a place you can casually enter." Gu Chengfeng took out a map from his pocket, "This."

"The map of the imperial palace?" Gu Jiao widened her eyes, "How do you have this?"

Gu Chengfeng chuckled, "Father is an official in the Ministry of Works. The various buildings in the palace are maintained by the Ministry of Works. Even the imperial concubine dowager’s nunnery this time was built by the Ministry of Works."

So this guy was familiar with the layout of the major government offices? His ability to come and go without a trace was all because he stole his father's blueprints?

As though he read her thoughts, Gu Chengfeng said coldly, "He's also your father!"

Father? Hehehe.

Gu Chengfeng: Forget it, she's not the real Gu Jiao anyway.

"So, what are you trying to steal from the imperial palace?" Gu Chengfeng was actually very puzzled. This girl was favored by the Empress Dowager and highly regarded by the Emperor. What precious treasure could she possibly want that she had to steal it herself?

Gu Jiao didn't answer, she just led him to a place much closer to the nunnery.

Looking at the simple and unadorned nunnery not far away, Gu Chengfeng became bewildered, "What's there to steal in a nunnery?"

Gu Jiao asked, "Are you able to get inside with a Dragon Shadow Guard present?"

Gu Chengfeng nearly wet himself!

He exclaimed, "Wha— What did you say? Dragon Shadow Guard?!"

Gu Jiao looked curious, "You know about them?"

Gu Chengfeng snorted, "As the greatest thief in the State of Zhao, how could I not know about the Dragon Shadow Guards? They were the late Emperor's death warriors, unparalleled in martial arts, with extraordinary skills. There are few people in the world who can match them! But come on, it's just a nunnery, why would there be a Dragon Shadow Guard guarding it?"

Oh, she forgot that this guy didn't know about Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing.

Gu Chengfeng pondered, "Could it be that His Majesty sent them there? Isn’t His Majesty too filial to Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing? He even sent the Dragon Shadow Guards just to ensure her safety, in case the Empress Dowager would harm her."

Listen, listen. Everyone in the world thought that Grandaunt would harm Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing, but no one thought that Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing would harm Grandaunt.

Gu Chengfeng asked, "So what are you trying to steal from her?"
