Gao Qiao knew it very well.

For Gao Qiao, he would not be surprised even if he knew that King Xin'an and even the emperor and empress behind him really had such intentions.

The court has been an official for decades, and he has seen too many such conspiracies and plots.

If this is true, his only feeling is despair, total despair.

He knew that Li Mu would not make it out of thin air. But he really didn't want to believe that Xiao Daocheng and the young empress also put the power struggle between the royal family and the aristocratic family on the family and the country, just like the Xiao family before them.

The newly ascended emperor and the words and actions they showed later made Gao Qiao's tired heart, which had already had a desire to retreat, slowly recovered again, and even had hope, and once again developed a fantasy and expectation that the Southern Dynasty might be able to revive.

It is precisely because of this hope and expectation that he will be happy even if he is tired.

However, this seemingly light words in Li Mu's letter pierced a thorn in Gao Qiao's heart.

He seemed to be nothing on the surface, but after that day, facing Xiao Daocheng and the emperor and empress who obeyed him, he always felt a faint sense of despair in his heart.

He hoped that this was just Li Muduoxin, and that day, Xiao Daocheng and him had a private conversation that day, just a kind of pessimistic persistence caused by Xiao's misjudgment of the situation.

After all, he had opposed sending troops in front of him at that time.

But in my heart, the faint sense of obscurity was still lingering. Especially recently, this incident, such a coincidence, happened to be related to Xiao Daocheng.

Gao Qiao's eyes fell on the letter, his brows frowned, and suddenly, he heard a few quiet knocks outside the door, and then the door was pushed open.

Gao Qiao looked up and saw that his daughter was standing at the door. He was surprised. He put away the letter and asked, "It's so late, why haven't you been sleeping yet?"

Luo Shen entered, looked at his father, and said, "Aye, my daughter hid it from you a few days ago and did something you would blame. But my daughter found out that it was important. My daughter did not dare to make arbitrary judgments, so she asked Aye to decide."
