The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

Zhao Xuan rushed forward and once again joined forces with Shishu to fight the killer. At this moment, a group of soldiers holding torches suddenly rushed up from the foot of the mountain and surrounded the fighting people in an instant.

A middle-aged man in official uniform ran over panting and shouting.

"The Fucheng prefect is here! Stop it now! Otherwise, I will kill you without mercy!"

The surrounding officers and soldiers immediately drew their weapons and formed a battle array. In the front were archers half-crouching on the ground with arrows on their strings, and in the back were infantrymen holding long swords.

Upon seeing this, the four men in black exchanged glances quickly, then jumped up at the same time and fled down the mountain in all directions.

The middle-aged man shouted again: "Don't chase the desperate enemy! Quickly protect the safety of the wise king!"

Zhao Xuan looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

The secretary hurriedly clasped his hands and bowed to the man: "Sir Wang!"

The person who came was Wang Daoding. He hurriedly asked, "Where is the prince?"

Dongtian pointed to the thatched hut and said, "I just helped the prince in. He should be treating his injuries now."

Several people hurried into the house.

Gu Zhanghua closed his eyes and fell into a coma.

Zhao Xuan felt relieved when she saw that the Little Medical Fairy was helping Gu Zhanghua clean his wound in an orderly manner without any panic.

"How is the prince now?"

"Fortunately, he's just unconscious. He didn't have any convulsions this time. He'll wake up soon."

Wang Daoding fell to the ground.

"The prince is unconscious, and that's okay? Then tell me, what's not okay?"

Of course, the secretary knew about the ability of the little medical fairy, but her words were insignificant, and now that the prince was in a coma, it seemed that the princess had to be the one in charge.

The secretary stepped forward to help Wang Daoding up, looked at Zhao Xuan, and introduced her to Wang Daoding.

"Sir Wang, this is the virtuous princess who went to Jiaoyang Valley with the prince."

Wang Daoding looked up at Zhao Xuan. This girl looked nothing like a princess. She was holding a sword, her hair tied up in a high ponytail, and she was wearing a crimson riding suit. Her eyes were piercing, and her arm was bandaged, clearly injured. Could this be the virtuous princess? But the virtuous prince's personal guards wouldn't lie to him!

Zhao Xuan first made a gesture of invitation to Wang Daoding.

"Master Wang, if you have anything to say, let's talk outside so as not to disturb the prince's recovery."

Wang Daoding followed Zhao Xuan out of the house.

Zhao Xuan bowed deeply to Wang Daoding and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang, for saving my life!"

Wang Daoding quickly returned the greeting: "I don't deserve it! I don't deserve it!"

Zhao Xuan was puzzled: "How did Lord Wang know that the prince and I would be in danger here?"

Wang Daoding wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It's a long story. I followed the prince's orders and sent people to Jiaoyang Valley early this morning. On the surface, we pretended to suppress the bandits, but in reality, we were protecting them and buying time for the prince's case. But I was worried. Even if Jiaoyang Valley was falsely accused of being the Hell's Stronghold, as the saying goes, a single rat can spoil the whole barrel. What if the bandit leader is the rat? The prince's safety cannot be guaranteed. If anything happens to the prince in my territory, I will be blamed! After thinking it over, I still feel uneasy, so I led the troops in pursuit. We followed the carriage tracks to the foot of the mountain and heard the sound of fighting, so we rushed here."

Zhao Xuan thought to herself that Magistrate Wang had really hit the jackpot by accident, as his timing was just right. If he had come a step later, she and the secretary would have surely killed one of them, and they might even have to die together with the killer to save the lives of the others.

"Lord Wang has made a great contribution this time. When the prince wakes up, I will personally report to the prince and give you credit for this achievement!"

Wang Daoding evaded the question, "No need, no need. This is what I'm supposed to do. However, I'm a little confused. Why did those assassins attack you and Your Highness?"

Zhao Xuan absolutely couldn't tell the truth, she sighed.

"I don't know either. Maybe it's the bandits in this mountain who want to steal money and kill people."

"Could it be that someone wants to take advantage of the chaos to kidnap the bandit leader of Yanwangzhai?"

Zhao Xuan grinned. "You're not going to stop asking these questions? We need to get rid of this Magistrate Wang as soon as possible!"

Zhao Xuan put the sword back into the scabbard and then looked at Wang Daoding with a smile on her face.

"Sir Wang, I'd like to ask you for a favor. Could you please find me a spacious and comfortable carriage right away? The prince is injured, so just take care of this matter. Everything else will be decided once the prince wakes up!"

Wang Daoding was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly saluted Zhao Xuan.

"Don't worry, Princess. I'll do it right away!"

Seeing Wang Daoding leave in a hurry, Zhao Xuan turned around and went into the thatched hut.

Hao Xiong stood at the door and spat at Wang Daoding's back.

"Bah! I heard it all. You said I was a rat. What kind of person is that!"

Zhao Xuan walked to the straw mat and saw that Gu Zhanghua was still unconscious, so she asked Xiao Yixian.

"How is the prince's injury?"

Xiao Yixian suddenly smiled: "It's okay, fortunately the killer didn't intend to kill him."

Zhao Xuan was startled. She usually kept a poker face, only occasionally showing anxiety or worry when treating patients. Little Medical Fairy was treating Gu Zhanghua's injuries, and she actually smiled? What did this mean?

"What are you laughing at? What do you mean?"

Hao Xiong strolled to Zhao Xuan, glanced at Gu Zhanghua, and said to Zhao Xuan.

"My brother-in-law asked for it!"

Zhao Xuan didn't understand: "You mean he bumped into the dagger and hurt himself on purpose?"

Xiao Yixiang and Hao Xiong looked at each other and nodded affirmatively to Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan began to roll up her sleeves. "Each of you, explain to me immediately what he's trying to achieve by doing this? Is it just to get the dagger stabbed in the chest and feel the pain? Or is it just to get dizzy for fun?"

Hao Xiong opened his two innocent big eyes and looked at Zhao Xuan.

"It could be a bit of both."

Zhao Xuan raised her hand to hit Hao Xiong on the head when she suddenly heard Gu Zhanghua calling her.

"The big boss...the big pomegranate..."

The Little Medical Fairy chuckled, turned around and left the house.

Hao Xiong pretended to vomit, spit out some vomit, and said, "Sister, what's going on? You should ask your brother-in-law yourself."

Hao Xiong also left the house.

Zhao Xuan hurriedly squatted down and held Gu Zhanghua's hand.

"I'm here, are you feeling better?"

Gu Zhanghua looked at Zhao Xuan carefully: "Are you okay?"

"I just had some minor injuries on my arm, everything else is fine."

Gu Zhanghua struggled to sit up and leaned against the wall.

Zhao Xuan asked hurriedly, "Do you feel dizzy when sitting up?"

Gu Zhanghua shook his head and looked at Zhao Xuan: "I'm glad you're okay."

Zhao Xuan also sat down next to Gu Zhanghua. She turned around and looked at Gu Zhanghua's pale face, feeling heartbroken.

"Let me ask you, how did you get hurt? Hao Xiong and Xiao Yixian both said you did it on purpose, but why don't I believe them?"

Gu Zhanghua looked down at his fingers.

"At that time, there was an assassin trying to attack the secretary. Hao Xiong picked up his slingshot and aimed at the assassin's wrist, where the dagger was held. He hit it, and the dagger flew out of the assassin's hand and flew towards you. It was about to fall on your head, but you didn't notice. I rushed behind you and protected you. I thought, after all, as the saying goes, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. I firmly believed this, so the dagger pierced my shoulder."

Zhao Xuan was stunned. Just think about it, what an incredible scene this was. Was he so sure the dagger would land on her head? Even if the dagger hit her skull, with her years of martial arts training and hearing ability, wouldn't she know how to dodge?

Gu Zhanghua didn't hear Zhao Xuan's response. He secretly raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Xuan cautiously.

"I'm still somewhat useful, right? I'm not a burden to you, am I? I'm not holding you back, am I?"
