The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

The capital was Liyang.

It's already the tenth day, and there's still no news about Zhan Xie Dao and Gu Jiancheng.

Zhao Xuan went to the prison cell again, bringing some food and a change of clothes for Hao Xiong and Dong Tian. Gu Zhanghua also went to Prince Cheng's mansion, and Ma Zhenzhen didn't know the exact date of Gu Jiancheng's return.

As soon as Gu Zhanghua stepped into Prince Xian's mansion, Zhao Xuan happened to come back from the Ministry of Justice prison. When the two met, they both saw that the other had an ugly expression, and they knew that there was no good news.

Zhao Xuan opened her mouth and asked, "On my way back, I asked Chunlan to go to the Ministry of Justice and see when the trial of the Yanwangzhai robbers will begin. Your Highness, if we can't get the Evil-Slaying Blade back, what should we do? What about Hao Xiong and Dong Tian? You promised them that you would guarantee their safety!"

Gu Zhanghua was already distraught, so how could he answer Zhao Xuan's question? If he had known any other way, he wouldn't have been so anxious that blisters appeared on his mouth, and he wouldn't have been unable to sleep all night. Now he was dizzy and his head was spinning, with no place to vent his resentment. The despair and frustration suddenly surged out.

"If you ask me, who should I ask? If you don't believe me, or my second brother, figure it out yourself!"

This was the first time in such a long time since Zhao Xuan married Gu Zhanghua that Gu Zhanghua gave her the cold shoulder. She immediately flew into a rage. The worry and anxiety that she had been holding back for days finally found an outlet.

"Why are you mad at me? Do you think you're the only one annoying me and I'm not? The futures of hundreds of people and two lives are in our hands. If I don't ask you, who else should I ask? It was you who came up with the idea of ​​recruiting people!"

"Haha, we're not at the end of our rope yet, and you're already trying to put all the blame on me? I just want to ask you, is there a better way than surrendering?"

"I'm not denying that your method is wrong. Something has gone wrong. I'm asking you, if we can't get the Evil Slaying Blade back, what should we do?"

Zhao Xuan was so aggressive that Gu Zhanghua had no way out. The busy servants saw the couple quarreling with each other in public, and they were like quails, lowering their heads and pricking up their ears, not daring to make a sound, but listening very carefully.

Gu Zhanghua was filled with anger.

"Look at what you look like now. A husband is the leader of his wife, don't you understand?"

"I don't understand! I just don't understand. What can you do to me?"

"What can I do to you? Aren't you the one who's always been kicking me around?"

"You think I want to kick you? You asked for it!"

"Alright! This is all my own fault! I shouldn't have bothered to meddle in Jiaoyang Valley's affairs! Can't I just be a good king?"

Zhao Xuan snorted coldly upon hearing this: "Tell the truth, huh? It's too much trouble, huh? Want to give up halfway? I'll grant you your wish! If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. From now on, we'll cut ties and never have anything to do with each other again!"

"Let's break it off! If we don't want to have any contact, then we won't have any contact! You were the one who insisted on marrying me back then! I never wanted to marry you at all!"

"you are vicious!"

After Zhao Xuan finished speaking, she gave Gu Zhanghua a fierce look and turned away.

Only then did Gu Zhanghua realize that there was a large group of people surrounding him. Chunlan, Qiuju, Shishu, Qing'e, and other people in the mansion were all looking at him in stunned silence.

Shishu pulled Gu Zhanghua's sleeve and watched Zhao Xuan leave angrily.

"I always thought Your Highness was a first-rate scholar, but I didn't expect you to be such a top-notch debater. Judging from your attitude, you don't want to live with the princess anymore, do you?"

Gu Zhanghua's rationality gradually returned, and he realized that impulse was indeed as terrible as the devil, and couldn't help but ask the secretary.

"Did what I just said really hurt you?"

"Really? You just said something harsh to the princess!"

Gu Zhanghua's memory at this time was like that of a fish, only seven seconds.

He asked the secretary, "What harsh words did I say?"

The secretary repeated word for word, "You just told the princess that you had no intention of marrying her, but she insisted on marrying you."

Gu Zhanghua still insisted on being stubborn.

"Am I wrong? It was obvious that she didn't want to marry my third brother and insisted on marrying me."

Butler Li couldn't help but advise, "Your Highness, please stop talking. Don't you want to continue living your good life? Why don't you go and catch up?"

Gu Zhanghua muttered, "She runs so fast, how can I catch up with her?"

But he still took a step forward.

Housekeeper Li urged: "Hurry up, go! A wife must be coaxed!"

Gu Zhanghua had just taken two steps when Zhao Xuan came back angrily and stuffed a piece of paper in her hand into Gu Zhanghua's hand.

"Take it!"

"what is this?"

Gu Zhanghua looked down at the handwriting on the paper. His eyes widened at the first glance and he looked at Zhao Xuan in disbelief.

"Divorce letter?!"

The onlookers couldn't help but gasp.

Zhao Xuan also gave up at this time. She felt unbearable pain in her heart when she thought of Hao Xiong and Dongtian in the cell.

"Yes! It's the divorce letter! There's no need to hide my current identity!"

As soon as Zhao Xuan said this, Gu Zhanghua immediately realized what Zhao Xuan was going to say and yelled at her.

"Tian Shiliu! Are you crazy? There are some things you can say, but there are some things you can never say even if you are beaten to death!"

Zhao Xuan ignored Gu Zhanghua completely and looked at everyone who was watching one by one, feeling reluctant to leave. Jiaoyang Valley was going to disband, and the Xianwang Mansion was her only home. But now, she couldn't protect Jiaoyang Valley, Hao Xiong, and Dongtian. Was she going to involve all the people in the Xianwang Mansion in these bad things?

Her desire to break up with Gu Zhanghua was not just an angry remark. She really regretted it. Hu Yiba had wanted to kill her alone from the beginning to the end. She deserved to die, so why did she have to implicate everyone else?

Zhao Xuan tried hard to hold back the tears that were about to burst out, sniffed, and then smiled faintly at everyone.

"Ever since I entered this palace, everyone has taken great care of me, tolerating my willfulness and mischief, and never despising me for not looking like a princess at all. But in fact, I am not a princess of Yue State at all. I married the virtuous prince to use him to achieve my own goals. You should have heard that many merchants who are crying out for justice have gathered at the gate of the Ministry of Justice and are demanding severe punishment for the bandits who robbed Yanwangzhai. And I am the head of Yanwangzhai, Huang Huacai! Now, it's time for me to go. You all, take care of yourselves!"

After Zhao Xuan finished speaking, she bowed to everyone, turned around and walked quickly towards the gate of the palace.

Everyone stared blankly at Zhao Xuan's back, then turned around and stared blankly at Gu Zhanghua, completely confused about what was going on.

Gu Zhanghua yelled at Zhao Xuan, "Wait! Where are you going?"

Zhao Xuan paused, turned around to look at Gu Zhanghua, and smiled bitterly.

"Where else can I go? My two brothers are taking the blame for me in the Ministry of Justice prison, and I can't do anything but stay in the palace. I don't even want to be a virtuous princess! I can't just stand by and watch them die! I need to go to the Ministry of Justice to get my brothers out!"

Gu Zhanghua winked at the secretary, who looked at Zhao Xuan anxiously and then ran away quickly.
