The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

Zhao Xuan was just thinking about it when she saw Gu Zhanghua walk over to her with a handful of wild fruits and sit down next to her, then took out a wild fruit and handed it to her.

"Hao Xiong picked them. Little Doctor Fairy said they're not poisonous. I've already washed them clean. Come and try some!"

Zhao Xuan looked at Gu Zhanghua, who hadn't said a word of blame yet, despite the large bump on his forehead. She felt a surge of remorse, but was too embarrassed to ask how they had ended up sleeping together last night. Seeing Gu Zhanghua's nonchalant expression, she couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Zhao Xuan sat up, spit out the wild grass roots, and opened her mouth to bite the wild fruit in Gu Zhanghua's hand.

Before Gu Zhanghua could retract his finger, Zhao Xuan bit him along with the wild fruit, and he screamed in surprise.

Zhao Xuan chewed the wild fruit proudly, tilted her head and looked at Gu Zhanghua.

"Who told you to get so close to me? You're being so attentive for no reason!"

"Am I close to you?" Gu Zhanghua swung his fingers. "Last night I was much further away from you than I am now. You were sleeping in the bed while I dozed off in the chair. It was you who insisted on dragging me to the bed and sleeping next to you! And now you blame me?"

Zhao Xuan turned her head away guiltily and asked weakly, "So, nothing happened between us last night, right?"

Gu Zhanghua lowered his head uncomfortably and stammered, "What do you want to happen?"

Zhao Xuan stood up angrily: "If you don't want to talk about it, forget it!"

Gu Zhanghua grabbed Zhao Xuan's arm, threw the wild fruit in his hand to the ground, and said in a panic.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you everything, but..."

Seeing Gu Zhanghua hesitate to speak, Zhao Xuan became even more anxious: "What happened?"

Gu Zhanghua chuckled foolishly, "Actually, I don't remember it very clearly. I vaguely remember you pulling me onto the bed, me lying on the inside and you lying on the outside. I saw you almost fall to the ground when you turned over, so I hugged you and then I fell asleep... Then you kicked me and I woke up!"

Zhao Xuan looked at Gu Zhanghua, blinked, and asked in disbelief, "That's it? That's all?"

"Gone."

Zhao Xuan patted her forehead and said, "Alright, I'm sure. I accidentally hurt you this time. I'm sorry!"

Gu Zhanghua quickly waved his hands: "It's okay, I know you definitely didn't mean it!"

Zhao Xuan was speechless: "You are really generous!"

Gu Zhanghua tugged at Zhao Xuan's sleeve, motioning her to sit down. Zhao Xuan had no choice but to sit next to Gu Zhanghua, and the two sat shoulder to shoulder on the grass.

Gu Zhanghua then whispered mysteriously to Zhao Xuan.

"I'll tell you a secret."

"Any more secrets? Tell me."

Gu Zhanghua whispered to Zhao Xuan, "When we were little, attending the Imperial Academy, Sister Xuan explained to us that we were all picked up by our mothers! We're not sure where we were found, maybe in a bush, in a bathtub, or even in a garbage dump. Anywhere is possible! But is the child a boy or a girl? It all depends on luck!"

As Gu Zhanghua spoke, his eyes flashed with desire, his hands groping on the grass beside him, and he asked Zhao Xuan.

"Do you think it's possible for us to pick up a child in the grass?"

Zhao Xuan almost vomited blood.

When she was a child, she didn't understand what giving birth was like, but in the more than two years she has lived in Jiaoyang Valley, she has become accustomed to seeing sisters with big bellies and the heart-wrenching and painful childbirth. If it weren't for the blessing of the Little Medical Fairy, she estimates that only 50% of births would be successful.

While she didn't fully understand the entire pregnancy process, she did have a rough idea of ​​what was going on. At least there had to be physical contact, right?! They hadn't even taken off their clothes, so how could they possibly be picking up a child?!

Zhao Xuan looked at Gu Zhanghua with a speechless look. He was already eighteen years old, but he was still so naive as to believe the nonsense his mother had said more than ten years ago. She couldn't help but sigh to the sky. Concubine Shu had "protected" her son too well. He was simply hopeless!

"Your Majesty! You really think too much!"

"how do I say this?"

Seeing Gu Zhanghua looking at her with a face full of curiosity, Zhao Xuan truly understood what it meant to cry out to heaven and earth for help but get no response! Did she really have to be the one to teach him how to have children?

But judging by Gu Zhanghua's silly look, she was sure that the two of them must have been at peace last night.

Zhao Xuan tried very hard to help Gu Zhanghua solve his doubts.

"According to what you just said, I should be the one to pick up the child, because I have the qualifications to be a mother in the future, and you don't."

Gu Zhanghua suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."

Zhao Xuan stood up and pulled Gu Zhanghua up as well.

"Let's go, eat something first, then hurry on. We'll stay in Qi County tonight. We'll have plenty of time to pick up the child later!"

Besides, the secretary hurriedly left the government office and rode his horse along the official road to catch up with Zhao Xuan and his group, but he felt something was wrong after he had gone less than five miles.

He had already encountered two groups of gangsters, all dressed in tight clothes and carrying various weapons. When they saw that Shishu was alone, their alert expressions flashed away, and they seemed to not take Shishu seriously, but ran forward wildly.

Shishu pulled the reins of his horse and lowered his head in thought. He immediately thought of the princess's true identity as the head of Jiaoyang Valley, and also thought of the crisis Jiaoyang Valley was currently facing. Although they had stabilized the government's dispatch of troops, the Tiandao League's order to hunt down the underworld was not revoked.

Shishu thought to himself that this was not good. If he rode a horse to chase the prince and princess, he would obviously be too big a target. Shishu finally decided to abandon the horse. He tied the horse to a big tree nearby, used his lightness skills, and quietly followed the two groups of people from the martial arts world. Sure enough, they were also heading towards Liyang.

After chasing for less than an hour, the secretary saw from afar a carriage parked on the grass in front of the grove by the river. In front of the carriage, two people were busy picking up things on the ground. Who else could it be but the prince and princess?

The two groups of people from the martial arts world gathered together at this time, whispered something, and then quietly sneaked into the dense forest separately.

Shishu no longer cared about anything else and quickly jumped in front of the two men.

Seeing the secretary come back, Gu Zhanghua hurriedly asked, "Has everything been arranged with Prefect Wang?"

The secretary didn't bother to answer Gu Zhanghua, but pointed in the direction of the grove towards Zhao Xuan.

"Princess, there's an ambush in the woods, and I'm afraid it's coming for you!"

Zhao Xuan subconsciously stood in front of Gu Zhanghua, and followed the direction of the secretary's finger, looking intently into the woods.

The leaves rustled, and more than a dozen black figures jumped in the woods. In the blink of an eye, they were close. Each of them was wearing a black scarf and masking his face. They all drew their weapons and slowly surrounded him.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Xuan hurriedly instructed the secretary.

"Go and protect Xiao Yixian and the others, and take them to the carriage. I'll leave the prince to me. Once everyone is gathered, you drive away first! Don't worry about me!"

After Zhao Xuan finished speaking, she pulled Gu Zhanghua onto the carriage, pulled out the sword from under the cushion, and shook Gu Zhanghua's hand.

"Just sit in the carriage and don't move! No matter what happens or what noise you hear, don't go out! I'll take care of everything!"

Without waiting for Gu Zhanghua to answer, Zhao Xuan turned around and jumped off the carriage, looking at the dozen or so men in black with sword in hand, fearless.

"You guys are really lingering around! Aren't you just after the Tiandao League's bounty? Come after me, don't implicate the innocent!"

One of the men holding two swords laughed sinisterly.

"Daisy! You're quite clever, but I advise you to be a hero if you know the situation. Just surrender! Otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless and taking the lives of your friends if we make a mistake!"
