Time passed quietly unknowingly, and in a blink of an eye, Gou Dian arrived at the main entrance of the palace. This was not the first time that Gou Dian entered and exited the palace, so the moment he saw Gou Dian's appearance, the guards standing at the entrance of the palace faced each other.
Gou Dian called out "Viscount Gou", which made Gou Dian feel a little embarrassed.
After being informed by the chief of guards, Gou Dian walked into the palace smoothly. As Gou Dian expected, the Great Emperor was busy with government affairs and had no time to meet Gou Dian. Therefore, Gou Dian followed the chief of the royal guards directly to where the eldest prince Gongsun Cheng was.
room.
Wang Zicheng was very happy to see Gou Dian's arrival. He pulled Gou Dian to sit down and exchanged greetings with him. Apparently, even Wang Zicheng felt a little bored after staying in the palace all day.
The two chatted casually for a few more words, and after the captain of the guard left, Gou Dian took out some of the Red Dragon Companion Crystals from the space ring and placed it on the table. He saw a dozen Red Dragon Companion Crystals on the table.
The eldest prince Gongsun Cheng was in a daze for a moment and then he immediately came to his senses. He quickly put the Red Dragon Companion Crystals into the space ring and thanked Gou Dian. His expression looked quite sincere. He did not just say thank you and then take them away.
, Wang Zicheng took out a thousand gold coins from the space ring and stuffed it into Gou Dian's hand. He smiled and said: "Brother Gou, this is the intention of my father and I. I hope you won't accept it too little."
Come on. Originally I wanted to give you more, but my father said that this is a bet between you and him. It is natural for you to bring the Red Dragon Companion Crystal back. He is also willing to give you gold coins. You have already picked it up.
.I don’t need to mention how embarrassed I was when I heard these words, hehehe..."
Gou Dian was stunned when he heard this. He had never thought that Emperor Great Britain knew how to joke. The moment this joke came out of Wang Zicheng's mouth, Gou Dian's expression obviously became quite strange. He smiled helplessly, Gou Dian
He scratched his head and then said: "Your Highness, the eldest prince, if that's the case, then Gou Dian would be very grateful to you. If His Highness the eldest prince hadn't interceded for Gou Dian, I'm afraid this trip to Gou Dian would have been in vain."
As soon as these words came out, both of them laughed. This kind of joke is not something that can be said to everyone. Now that Goudian said this to Wang Zicheng, it was obviously his trust in Wang Zicheng. How could Wang Zicheng not see this?
This makes Wang Zicheng even more happy. He does not think that Gou Dian is a traitor. Since Gou Dian is now a viscount, the closer the relationship between the two, the better.
The two chatted casually for a few more words, and then Goudian realized that the eldest prince Gongsun Cheng was actually in the same academy as him in Shenlongmen (both are fire academies). If it weren't for the recent physical discomfort of the Great Emperor,
Someone is needed to help with some government affairs. I am afraid that Wang Zicheng is still learning various things in Shenlongmen.
With a slight sigh, Wang Zicheng's pale golden eyes dimmed a little, and he thought for a while before saying: "Brother Lu, since my father has entrusted you to go to the Warcraft Mountains to find the Red Dragon Companion Crystal, then it must be that my father has been ill recently.
You have heard about it from your father, right?"
Gou Dian narrowed his eyes and nodded. He didn't know what Wang Zicheng wanted to say, but he thought it must be something very important.
Sure enough, Wang Zicheng patted the platinum and gold robe and continued: "Actually, my father has not only been ill recently. In the past year, my father has worked hard on political affairs and the war with the Murloc Empire.
The body is no longer what it used to be, and has begun to get worse. The use of the red dragon companion crystal is only a tentative method of the imperial doctor, and it is still unknown whether it has any effect. It is said that there were times when the emperor prepared the medicine and became mentally alert after taking it.
This is just the improvement. You said, how could a son not be worried after hearing such news?"
Gou Dian nodded in agreement and said: "This matter is indeed worrying. Your Majesty is the pillar of the Great Britain Empire. It is also a blessing to Your Majesty that the Great Britain Empire can now live in seclusion at the top of the ten empires.
If His Majesty falls, there is no guarantee that other empires will not take advantage of the situation." Goudian would never have said this before, but not long ago he learned politics, history and aristocratic etiquette from the Shenlong Sect.
The words are now spoken with ease and familiarity.
After hearing what Gou Dian said, Wang Zicheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said directly: "Brother Gou, we are not masters and servants, nor kings and ministers, but friends. Such polite words are unnecessary. Although our great empire is getting better and better.
Although it is powerful, it will inevitably be laughed at if it is said that it lives in seclusion at the top of the ten empires. The current Great Britain Empire can only be regarded as ranking in the middle and upper position among the ten empires, and it is considered to be ranked third.
That’s right, both I and my father are aware of this matter.”
Gou Dian laughed dryly and did not deny it. Wang Zicheng's ability to speak frankly about this was what attracted him. For example, one of the reasons why Gou Dian was willing to help Wang Zicheng get out of trouble was one of the reasons. On this point, Wang Zicheng
Of course, Gou Dian was happy that there was no change. However, Gou Dian did not think that Wang Zicheng just wanted to say this to him. I am afraid that Wang Zicheng had other purposes.
Sure enough, Wang Zicheng took a sip of the fragrant tea and hesitated for a moment before continuing: "To be honest with Brother Lu, in fact, now that my father's health is deteriorating, the other princes are now having their own thoughts. This matter is really disappointing.
Worry. I am worried that the fight between the brothers will affect my father and make his condition worse. If this is the case, there will be great chaos in the empire. This is obviously not what we, the royal family, and the nobles want to see."
Gou Dian narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but nodded. If Emperor Great Britain's condition worsens, then there will inevitably be a fight between princes in the Great Britain Empire, because everyone wants to succeed to the throne and become the next Emperor Great Britain.
, this is a common problem among members of the royal family. I am afraid that even Prince Cheng, who serves the country and the people, cannot escape this kind of fight. Thinking of this, Gou Dian sighed and could only say: "Alas... I hope that your Majesty will canonize the prince as soon as possible, so that the prince
The fighting between them will stop."
Wang Zicheng nodded and said: "Yes, if my father canonize the prince as soon as possible, then the fight between our princes can at least turn from the bright side to the dark side. In this way, at least my father will not need to fight for our princes."
The battle for the throne during this period was very troublesome."
Gou Dian narrowed his eyes, smiled helplessly and could only nod. What Wang Zicheng said was very reasonable. Even if the Great Empire of Great Britain conferred the title of prince, as long as any prince was dissatisfied, he would secretly make small moves to force the prince to step down, and even more
Some may even launch a coup for the sake of the throne. This kind of thing is not uncommon in major empires. Some princes seek help from other empires in order to obtain the throne and even betray the interests of the empire. This kind of thing has happened in thousands of years.
It happens occasionally. Gou Dian can only hope that such a thing will not happen in today's Great Britain. As a citizen of the Great Britain, he can only pray like this.
Wang Zicheng's lips moved slightly and he originally wanted to say something to Gou Dian, but after seeing Gou Dian's thoughtful look, he hesitated. He originally wanted to get Gou Dian's support, but thought that Gou Dian was now just
A viscount with only a title but no real power, and he was still suspected of being a spy, so he finally stopped talking. This matter cannot be rushed, and it will never be too late to talk about it if there is a chance in the future. This is what Wang Zicheng is doing at the moment
What he was thinking in his heart, he didn't know that by not speaking at this time, he missed the best opportunity. What Wang Zicheng didn't expect was that what he could get with just one word now would be in the future when he wanted to get Gou Dian's support.
It would cost dozens of times more than what it cost now. This was the only reason why Wang Zicheng would smile bitterly in the future.
Looking at Wang Zicheng's hesitant look, Gou Dian waited patiently, but since Wang Zicheng didn't speak in the end, it was inconvenient for Gou Dian to ask directly. Gou Dian didn't know what Wang Zicheng wanted to say, he just
She vaguely thought that Wang Zicheng had something to say to him, but that was all. Of course, whether that was actually the case was another matter.
In the end, Wang Zicheng still did not say the words of invitation to Gou Dian, so Gou Dian thought that Wang Zicheng did not have anything special to say to him. The reason why he thought so before was just that he was overthinking. He was casual with Wang Zicheng again.
After chatting for a while, Goudian saw that the sky outside was already turning a little yellow, so he stood up and said goodbye to Wang Zicheng.
Seeing that Gou Dian was about to leave, Wang Zicheng politely invited Gou Dian to have dinner with him, but Gou Dian ultimately politely declined Wang Zicheng's kindness. After all, there are too many things that need to be paid attention to when dining in the palace.
I still only have a partial understanding of aristocratic etiquette. If I really have dinner with Wang Zicheng, I am afraid that I will make a fool of myself and lose the face of the eldest prince Gongsun Cheng. This is definitely not the result that Gou Dian wants to see. Although the eldest prince Gongsun Cheng did not know that Gou Dian declined politely
But since Gou Dian refused, it was inconvenient for him to force him to stay, so after calling the guards, he asked them to take Gou Dian out of the palace.
Following the guards and walking inside the palace, Goudian finally walked out of the palace after turning left and right. Even so, it still took Goudian almost twenty minutes, which shows how big the palace is.
Looking back at the solemn palace gate, Goden smiled slightly, and then left the place towards the main road. There are still some streets in the Emperor's Castle that Goden has never visited, and now he just took this opportunity to visit the huge Emperor's Castle again.
