Gu Ruoyu silently brewed tea for Li You and Xiao Wanyu, and then sat silently across from them.

After Gu Du passed away, Gu Ruoyu seemed much simpler. After her marriage with Yuchi Baoqi was blocked, she obviously lost weight.

Facing the extremely beautiful but sad young girl in front of her, Li You felt deeply sympathy for her miserable experience.

Li You asked again: "Do you want to find your biological father?"

Gu Ruoyu bit her lip lightly, thought for a long time, but she didn't answer. She felt very conflicted. All those who had lost their parents since childhood wanted to find their parents. Gu Ruoyu also had a strong desire in her heart. However, for the disaster brought to her mother, her adoptive father, and her own loneliness for so many years, she was filled with deep resentment.

After thinking for a long time, she shook her head slightly.

Li You understood her mood and said, "Ruoyu, my father did not go to you in time, and there was a lasting reason." He told Gu Ruoyu about the situation of the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

The Xuanwu Gate Incident was a major taboo in the court. No one in the court or the country would talk about this matter, and Gu Ruoyu didn't know it. The thrilling things Li Shimin experienced back then deeply touched Gu Ruoyu. After all, it was a father and daughter who was in love, and she began to understand Li Shimin a little.

Li You said: "Ruoyu, my father was still in danger at that time, so he had no way to settle your mother. Later, after the court stabilized, he sent Baoqi's father to find you, and you had already left Yufeng Town.

Later, your adoptive father Gu Di was hunted by Baiqisi because they were ordered to investigate Li Yuanji's remnants, and his father did not know about this."

After Li You's explanation, Gu Ruoyu felt much better.

Li You said: "Ruoyu, I suggest that you should still recognize your father, fight for your identity and your mother."

Gu Ruoyu was a little moved, but she was still a little sad. She still resented Li Shimin for the death of her mother and adoptive father. She remained silent and did not speak.

Li You asked, "Ruoyu, do you really like Baoqi?"

Gu Ruoyu still nodded silently.

Li You said: "Your marriage has been hindered. If you don't find out your true identity, Duke E will not dare to let Baoqi marry you."

Xiao Wanyu said, "Don't worry, the prince will let you achieve your wish."

Gu Ruoyu finally nodded and said, "I do."

The matters of the royal family have always been the focus of attention between the government and the public. The matters of His Majesty the Emperor's recognition of the people's daughter will definitely cause an uproar, so this matter must be very cautious.

Li You said: "You still have to be patient in this matter, you are like this..."

Gu Ruoyu trusts Li You very much. In her mind, Li You is not only her brother, but also a trustworthy elder. For Xiao Wanyu, Gu Ruoyu also felt the same care as her sister and elders from her. This kind of feeling is only arisen by orphans like her who have lost their parents since childhood.

Gu Ruoyu said, "I will listen to your arrangements."

Industrial City.

Yuchi Baoqi was uneasy. She didn't know what Li You called Gu Ruoyu away and talked to her, and how Li You convinced his father to agree to his marriage with Gu Ruoyu.

That afternoon, he was working on the affairs of the Industrial City, hoping to relieve his boredom by being busy.

At this time, Gu Ruoyu came.

Yuchi Baoqi asked nervously: "Li You, what did the prince talk to you? What did he say about our affairs?"

Gu Ruoyu said: "Brother Baoqi, the prince said that he will definitely help solve our affairs. He asked me to tell you that the matter is done well in the Industrial City and wait for his news."

Yuchi Baoqi said happily: "That's good, that's good, there's nothing that the prince can't do." In the minds of Yuchi Baoqi and many people, Li You is a godlike being.

Gu Ruoyu said: "I haven't come to Industrial City recently."

Yuchi Baoqi asked, "Where are you going?"

Gu Ruoyu said, "I want to enter the palace."

When Yuchi Baoqi heard this, he was a little anxious. He said, "What are you doing when you enter the palace? This is not possible. If you enter the palace and are attracted by His Majesty, what should you do?" Gu Ruoyu is so beautiful, and it is very dangerous to enter the palace.

Gu Ruoyu said, "Don't worry, everything was arranged by the prince." She couldn't tell Yuchi Baoqi the reason for entering the palace herself.

Yuchi Baoqi was still very worried and was unwilling to let Gu Ruoyu enter the palace.

Gu Ruoyu hugged Yuchi Baoqi, put her face on his chest, and said affectionately: "Brother Baoqi, don't worry, I will marry you in this life."

It was Li You's arrangement that Gu Ruoyu wanted to enter the palace. If Li Shimin wanted to recognize Gu Ruoyu, it mainly depends on his attitude. Now, no one knows what Li Shimin thought about the things that happened back then, and whether he could accept that he had an illegitimate daughter among the people.

Li You's idea was to let Gu Ruoyu enter the palace and see if Li Shimin thinks of her mother Qiao Mengjie who looks very similar when she sees Gu Ruoyu. Judging his true thoughts through Li Shimin's attitude.

Guangcui Palace.

Li You and his family entered the palace to visit the Yin Concubine. Among them, four ladies and three children came to Guangcui Palace in a mighty manner.

The Yin Concubine looked at her grandchildren, and smiled on her face. She hugged this and kissed that one, so rare that she didn't know what to do.

Li You knew that at this time, it was not his turn to speak. He winked at Xiao Wanyu and said goodbye and left.

Li You went around the East Palace, talked about the newspaper with Li Chengqian, and sent someone to call Gao Jingming to study the establishment of a bank branch across the country.

Gao Jingming is rich now. Since Li You emerged from a new army, the financial resources that Gao Jingming can control have increased dozens of times more than a few years ago, and he has also begun to become generous.

He said: "Your Highness, Liu Rengui, the Naval Office of the Ministry of War, proposed the plan to build 2 first-class, 4 second-class, 16 fourth-class, 22 fifth-class sail battleships and 18 large-scale transport ships. I will squeeze out this money for you. As long as His Majesty approves, it will be allocated to the Ministry of War immediately."

After Li You went through the eastern expedition to Baekje, he found that the navy's strength was still insufficient. The practice of the last war proved that it was no problem for the Tang army to gain absolute advantages in naval battles, but the number of warships was not enough to fully block the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese Archipelago. Therefore, he decided to build another batch of naval warships. After actual combat, the third-level sailing battleships were proven that the high or low were not high or low, and they were not very practical, so there was no plan to continue construction.

There is another problem. Last time, due to limited transportation power, he only carried 10,000 Tang troops, which was not enough to achieve the strategic goal. If he could send more than 60,000 troops at one time, it would be enough to change the situation of the entire war. Therefore, he decided to build 18 large transport ships that could carry 5,000 people or 800 war horses at a time.

This is a large expense and the court's ability to bear must be considered. Therefore, he asked Liu Rengui to make a budget in advance and show it to Gao Jingming first.

Gao Jingming is not a loser. He said with a smile: "Your Highness, I strongly support you. I have given you this money. I will have to tighten my belt in the future."
