My father, Gao Huan, is an invincible prince!

Chapter 18 Did the Crown Prince not say he wanted to repay the slave? Now we must fulfill our promis

Seeing Gao Cheng's expression change several times, from surprise to doubt, then from doubt to understanding, and finally back to calm, Zheng Dache knew that Gao Cheng had figured out the key points.

She sighed softly and said slowly, "The king said: This matter has been spread too far, and only this can quell the discussions in the court and among the people."

"However, the most important thing is that once the slave is dead, the Zheng family will have no reason to cause trouble and will no longer dare to use the slave's reputation to hinder the prince."

"And the slave..."

She paused, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, before turning to relief: "And I, too, can now escape the fate of being a pawn and enjoy the rest of my life in peace."

After hearing the whole story, Gao Cheng couldn't help but nod slowly, feeling even more awe for Gao Huan's methods.

Gao Huan's move was indeed a decisive blow.

Because Zheng Dache is "dead," it means that all the schemes of the Hebei aristocratic families can no longer openly restrain him.

After all, they couldn't very well use a dead man's token to blackmail him, the Crown Prince of Bohai, could they?

Zheng Dache could also use this opportunity to shed his status as a pawn of the aristocratic family, and from then on, he would no longer be a political tool pushed out by his family, but belong only to Gao Cheng.

Having figured this out, the last bit of resentment Gao Cheng felt from being deceived melted away like ice meeting the sun in spring.

He looked up at the woman before him who was willing to give up her surname and live in anonymity for him. He felt a mix of emotions and couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her hair.

But he couldn't hold back his words, laughing and scolding, "Well done, so it was all of you who conspired to deceive me, making me shed a few false tears for you this morning. How infuriating!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Dache couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and said coquettishly, "How dare you say such a thing, Your Highness! You are utterly heartless."

"I have suffered greatly in performing this act. Last night, I was locked in a dark room and could not even drink a sip of hot soup. I also heard the sound of mourning outside, which kept me awake all night."

After saying that, she deliberately pouted, her eyes glistening with tears, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Seeing this, Gao Cheng felt both sorry for him and amused.

He reached out and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, and said gently, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I've wronged my dear G. I will make it up to you in the future and never let you suffer the slightest grievance again."

Zheng Dache didn't understand why Gao Cheng called her Big G.

But this didn't stop her from leaning against his warm embrace, listening to his strong heartbeat, her heart filled with happiness.

A moment later, she raised her head, lightly pecked his lips, and asked with seductive eyes, "And tell me, Your Highness, how would you like to repay me?"

Gao Cheng felt a surge of heat in his heart as he felt the soft, warm body of the woman in his arms and smelled her familiar perfume.

Looking down at her luscious red lips, he found it even harder to continue, and grinned, saying, "What is there to repay? It is... repaying with my body."

After saying that, he picked up Zheng Dache horizontally and carried her towards the other courtyard, ignoring her exclamation.

Seeing this, Gai Fengle, who was serving nearby, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth again.

But he still turned around and waved to the guards behind him, signaling them to step back.

Seeing this, the guards wisely turned around, facing away from the courtyard gate, keeping their eyes down and pretending not to see anything.

......

......

Inside the villa, Gao Cheng carried Zheng Dache through the door and went straight into the main house. After gently placing her on the edge of the couch, he couldn't wait to bend down on her.

Unexpectedly, before he could kiss those warm, red lips, Zheng Dache suddenly reached out and pressed his hand against his chest.

Gao Cheng was taken aback, blinked, and asked with a grin, "What's the matter, Aunt?"

Zheng Dache's eyes sparkled, and she said in a sweet voice, "Your Highness, please don't be impatient. The King has given instructions, which I have instructed you to convey."

Gao Cheng was taken aback again, then said with some dissatisfaction, "What are you saying? Couldn't you have waited a little longer before speaking?"

Seeing Gao Cheng's expression, Zheng Dache couldn't help but chuckle.

She then reached out and tapped his chest, teasingly saying, "Judging from your impatient manner, you have a long life ahead of you, why rush things?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Cheng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

But remembering that it was Gao Huan's instruction, he suppressed his desire and asked, "And tell me, does Your Majesty have any further instructions?"

"It concerns the Crown Prince's journey to Ye City."

Upon seeing this, Zheng Dache stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "Your Majesty wishes to send Duan Shao, son of the Marquis of Guzang County, and Huli Guang, son of the Baron of Fucheng County, to Ye ahead of time to scout the way for the Crown Prince."

"Scouting ahead?"

Gao Cheng raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled.

Zheng Dache explained, "Indeed. Your Majesty said that although the Hebei aristocratic families' schemes have only reached this point, it is unknown whether they have any further plans. Therefore, to be on the safe side, we should first send someone to scout them out."

Gao Cheng nodded slightly, his face showing understanding, and then asked, "When shall I depart? Has Your Majesty given a clear order?"

"Of course it is!"

A smile appeared on Zheng Dache's brow, and he said gently, "The King said: 'Your Highness should stay here at the Zhangshui Villa and refine your strategies for governing the country. Once confirmation arrives from Ye City, they will send someone to fetch you to Ye.'"

Upon hearing this, Gao Cheng was immediately disappointed.

He thought Gao Huan would send him to Yecheng as soon as possible, but it turned out he would have to wait.

Seeing his expression, Zheng Dache couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle, but then, as if he had remembered something funny.

She raised her eyebrows mischievously, suppressing a laugh, and said, "Furthermore, His Majesty has also said: the Crown Prince must restrain his mind and not cause any more trouble. In particular... he must not covet the King's concubines again."

When he finished speaking, Zheng Dache finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Upon hearing this, Gao Cheng blushed, then pinched her cheek in a fit of embarrassment and anger, saying irritably, "When have I ever coveted the king's women? It was clearly you who actively seduced me and lured me into your trap!"

Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, Zheng Dache retorted with a half-smile, "Wasn't it the young master who first barged into my bedchamber and tore at my clothes?"

Gao Cheng, though illogical, retorted confidently, "That was what I did in the past, what does it have to do with me today?"

"What difference is there? Aren't they all for you?"

Zheng Dache couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Gao Cheng was about to argue, but before he could speak, Zheng Dache suddenly wrapped his arms around his neck.

Gao Cheng was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, the warm red lips were already close at hand.

He blinked, about to speak, when he heard Zheng Dache pout and snort, "Enough, what's the point of recounting these absurd old stories? Didn't the young master say he wanted to repay the slave? Now we should keep our promise!"

Upon hearing these provocative words, Gao Cheng felt a surge of anger rising in his heart, and he no longer cared about refuting them.

All the power struggles and schemes, all the estrangement between father and son, were completely forgotten in that moment.

He immediately bent down and kissed her red lips passionately, saying indistinctly, "Yes, my dear Aunt G."

After a passionate kiss, seeing her alluring eyes again, he could no longer restrain himself. With a low growl, he pounced on her and tore her clothes.

Outside the window, the Zhang River flows gently, and birds sing amidst the fragrance of flowers.

Inside the room, clothes lay scattered and broken.

Soon, the room was filled only with the faint scent of orchids and musk emanating from the woman's body, and her soft, incessant moans, which only fueled the man's passion, making his advances even more ferocious...
