The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

Chapter 109 The Magical Use of Ghostly Paintings

After Gu Zhanghua entered the palace, he was still outside the imperial study. He told his father through the door that he wanted to go out for a walk with the princess.

Ever since the eunuch Han Gu privately told him that his father had not seen him for so many years because seeing him would make him miss his brother, the Crown Prince, even more, which caused heart palpitations, and that his father still cared about him very much and often visited him secretly, the slight sense of depression in Gu Zhanghua's heart disappeared.

Emperor Xia, Gu Li, has always felt guilty about Gu Zhanghua's marriage, but among family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs, he still put family affairs last. He does not regret it, but has always been worried about whether Gu Zhanghua and the princess can live in harmony in their married life. Now when he heard what Gu Zhanghua said, he immediately laughed.

Gu Zhanghua could hear his father's laughter through the door. He asked, "Father, will you grant me and the princess this trip?"

Gu Li's voice came out: "Just don't blame your father for mismatching us!"

Gu Zhanghua really couldn't answer this question. Was it strange? At first, he didn't want to do it from the bottom of his heart. He never wanted to get married in his life. He had his ideals. He wanted to realize the wish of his brother, the Crown Prince, so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment. But now the matter was done. Blaming his father was no longer the solution. He had to deal with such a changeable princess, with so many identities. Whenever he thought about it, his heart was in turmoil. He didn't know what to do with this fake couple in the future. It was a headache.

Gu Li became anxious when he didn't hear Gu Zhanghua's reply.

"Hua'er, are you still blaming your father?"

Gu Zhanghua hastily denied, "No! It's just that my son and the princess got married after just one meeting, and even now we're still treating each other with respect, and there's some estrangement. That's why I wanted to take the princess out for a walk to improve our relationship. I hope your Majesty will approve!"

Gu Li hurriedly said, "Okay! It's good for the two of you to go out for a walk. After all, she is the princess of Yue Kingdom and has never seen the beautiful scenery of Xia Kingdom! Come back when you two have had enough fun!"

Gu Zhanghua thought to himself, is it him who has never seen the beautiful land of Xia Kingdom? With the boss's temperament, he would have already seen it all!

Gu Zhanghua bowed respectfully in the direction of the imperial study.

"Thank you, Father. I will take my leave now and go to Mother to say hello."

Gu Li's laughing voice was heard.

"You really dare to go? Aren't you afraid that your mother will burst into tears as soon as she hears you're going on a long journey?"

Gu Zhanghua became speechless.

It's true! When he left the palace to set up his own residence, his mother was so worried that she didn't eat, drink or sleep for three days and three nights. Not to mention that he was going to Jiaoyang Valley this time, and the round trip would take at least a month. If his mother didn't allow him to go, would his father's oral order be effective?

Gu Zhanghua was just beginning to feel worried when he heard Gu Li say, "Just go ahead. Take some money with you and be careful. A real man should have ambitions. How can you stay in your house all day? I don't think you should go and get into trouble with your mother. I'll talk to her later!"

Gu Zhanghua's heart suddenly felt warm. He understood that his father was trying to help him. He then thanked him again and left the palace and returned home.

As soon as Gu Zhanghua got off the carriage at the gate of the mansion, he saw his princess strolling back and forth at the gate. When she saw him, she immediately came to greet him.

Gu Zhanghua asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Zhao Xuan replied, "Your Highness, do you know the Moon Tower?"

"Why are you asking about the Moon Landing?"

Zhao Xuan prepared herself mentally: I'm not going to lie to him again, but Xiaoling is now helping me find clues about the attack on the diplomatic mission. The fewer people who know about it, the better. Otherwise, not only will Xiaoling be in trouble, but my situation will also become dangerous. When I find some clues, I will tell him as soon as possible. Yes, that's it. I didn't lie to him on purpose, but I had no choice!

Zhao Xuan finished the construction quickly, then looked up and said with a smile, "I've been in Liyang for a while. I heard that the Moon Landing Tower is the most beautiful place in Liyang, with food, drinks, and singing and dancing. I've never been there before, which is a bit of a pity. I was thinking of going to see it with you tonight, Your Highness!"

"no problem!"

Seeing Zhao Xuan still wearing that floral dress, Gu Zhanghua offered a suggestion: "You should change into something brighter. After all, you're representing the Xianwang Mansion when you go to the Moon Tower. I'll also go freshen up a bit. We'll meet at the door in a quarter of an hour!"

Gu Zhanghua no longer lived in the study. His dormitory was right next to Zhao Xuan's. If they opened the window and stood at the window, they could see each other, so they spent the day together. At night, either Gu Zhanghua would sneak back to his dormitory, or Zhao Xuan would sneak into her new room.

So far, except Chunlan, Qiuju and Shishu, no one in the palace has discovered that their prince and princess are sleeping in separate rooms.

Gu Zhanghua returned to his room, washed his face, and casually asked the secretary who was serving him.

"Is the Moon Landing expensive? I want to take the princess there later."

The secretary handed the dry handkerchief to Gu Zhanghua, and was stunned when he heard Gu Zhanghua ask this.

"Your Highness, don't you know? Going to the Moon Tower isn't a question of whether it's expensive or not. It's that you can't get in tonight!"

Gu Zhanghua was also stunned: "Why?"

"Because all the tickets were sold out three days ago, you won't be allowed in without a ticket no matter how much money you pay!"

"Oh no! I just promised the princess, and now I'm in trouble. How can I be a person who goes back on my word?"

The secretary muttered, "Look, look, you made me pack my travel clothes in the mansion and didn't accompany you to the palace, and then something went wrong! Last time, you left me and went to the Honglu Temple by yourself, and it caused such a big trouble!"

Gu Zhanghua stuffed the handkerchief into Shishu's hand and said, "Alright, stop complaining. I promise to take you wherever I go from now on! Think about it quickly. Is there any other way to get tickets?"

Shishu shook his head confidently: "If I get up in the middle of the night tonight and queue up, maybe I can still get a ticket for the day after tomorrow. But if I want to go tonight, it's definitely not possible!"

Gu Zhanghua thought of a possibility.

"Is there anyone who has something urgent and can't go and needs to refund the ticket?"

Shishu shook his head again with certainty: "That's not our turn. It was already snatched away by someone inside the Moon Landing Building. Who doesn't have close friends, relatives, or something?"

"What should I do?"

Shishu is a smart guy. He has been with Gu Zhanghua for so many years and knows Gu Zhanghua's relatives and friends better than Gu Zhanghua himself.

I saw the secretary tapping his head with his fingers, and suddenly he thought of something and smiled happily.

"I thought of someone who might be able to get us a ticket tonight!"

"Who is it? Tell me quickly!"

"Of course it's His Royal Highness the True King! He's a well-known top player in our Liyang City who loves eating, drinking and having fun. That's a nice way to put it. To put it bluntly, he's the most dissolute person in Xia Country! If even the True King can't do anything to him, then there's really no hope!"

When Gu Zhanghua heard what the secretary said, he immediately pushed the secretary out the door.

"Hurry up! Go to the True Palace! Tell my third brother that I have to go to the Moon Tower tonight, and ask him to get me some tickets for tonight!"

The secretary was stunned: "How many?! You really dare to think so! I think it would be too much to just get two for you and the princess!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, or the princess will get mad at you if you don't leave!"

"No, Your Highness, you can't just blame me. Don't just focus on me! There are so many people in this mansion, the housekeeper, the guards, and..."

Gu Zhanghua interrupted Shishu: "I don't trust them to do things!"

Well, the secretary was indeed touched by the words of their prince, and she trotted out of the mansion.

The Zhen Prince's Palace was originally on the same street as the Xian Prince's Palace. After Zhao Xuan came to urge him three times, Gu Zhanghua finally waited for the return of the Shishu.

The embarrassed look on Shishu's face made Gu Zhanghua feel cold.

"Didn't get the ticket? My third brother can't do anything about it?"

The secretary answered truthfully, "I didn't get the tickets. I heard that not even one person returned their ticket today!"

"That's it! I guess I have no choice but to tell the princess the truth. If I can't even do something as simple as this, how can I even talk about recruiting her?"

As Gu Zhanghua was about to walk out of the room, Shishu suddenly stopped him and smiled.

"Your Highness! I didn't get the ticket, but I did get the original painting of His Majesty the True King! Please take a look, Your Highness!"

Shishu stretched out his hands behind his back in front of Gu Zhanghua. He held a neatly folded piece of paper in his hand and handed it to Gu Zhanghua.

Gu Zhanghua took it, opened it, and saw that it was indeed his third brother's autograph, which gave him a headache.

"What's the use of this cryptic talisman? Few people can recognize it. The three words "Gu Jingfeng" are written on it!"
