The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

The five of them looked at Hu Junfeng in confusion.

Guan Liushui frowned and asked Hu Junfeng.

"Ever since I heard about Tian Yuan's accident, I was most worried that you would be implicated. It was so easy to distance yourself from it, so why are you still actively trying to get involved?

He is no longer the crown prince, and you are not his bodyguard. I think this is completely unnecessary."

Hu Junfeng smiled gently at Guan Liushui.

"I know you're worried about me, but have you ever thought about Tian Yuan's situation? He might be killed as soon as he leaves Chuyang City."

Gu Zhanghua reacted the fastest.

"Hero Hu, you mean that the Tian Shanghui attacked Tian Yuan and killed him to eliminate future troubles!"

Hu Junfeng's voice was low.

“Tian Shang’s actions over the years have shown him to be ruthless and resourceful, so it’s entirely possible that he would do this.

Tian Yuan has been the crown prince for more than 20 years. Even if he falls from power, there will still be people who are loyal to him, both openly and secretly.

It was impossible for Tian Shang to allow Tian Yuan to reach Kurumu City safely and slowly gather people to revive the organization.

Tian Yuan is currently imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice. Under the nose of Emperor Yue, Tian Shang has to try his best to save Tian Yuan's life.

Once out of Chuyang City, Tian Shang will have plenty of ways to kill Tian Yuan."

Guan Liushui was even more worried about Hu Junfeng's safety.

"To be frank, this journey is full of dangers. Cousin, you don't owe Tian Yuan anything, so there's no need to take risks!"

Hu Junfeng did not respond to Guan Liushui's words. He turned to look at Zhao Xuan.

"Lady Huang, when you were in the martial arts competition, you risked your life to take my sword blow to win. My uncle said that I lost the competition because I was not as ruthless as you.

I don't think so. During the confrontation with you, I can feel that you have fearless courage and firm will, which cannot be summed up by the word "cruel".

At that time, I couldn’t understand where you, a little girl, got such fighting spirit from?

Later, due to a series of events that happened with the Evil-Slaying Sword, I realized that you were determined to get the Evil-Slaying Sword in order to save the people of Jiaoyang Valley!

Your courage and will come from your compassion for the poor, and you are willing to risk your own life to save people from danger!

Tian Yuan and I had a chance encounter. We agreed that I would be his bodyguard for a year and he would help me get back the Evil-Slaying Sword.

He tried his best, and the Evil-Slaying Sword finally returned to the Tiandao Alliance, but the agreed deadline had not yet arrived.

Miss Huang, do you think I should ignore him or escort him to Deadwood City?"

Zhao Xuan understood the meaning of Hu Junfeng's words.

"Children of the underworld should uphold the moral principles of the underworld. The kindness of being recognized and appreciated should be remembered even more deeply. I believe you will do your best to protect Tian Yuan.

But don't learn from me. I didn't consider it comprehensively at that time. If it weren't for the mercy of Master Hu, I would have lost my life, let alone saved the people of Jiaoyang Valley.

Mr. Hu, please think twice before you act. You must first ensure your own safety before you can repay Tian Yuan's kindness!

Hu Junfeng bowed to Zhao Xuan and thanked her.

"Miss Huang is absolutely right! I will definitely be careful and cautious. See you in Xia Country someday!"

Guan Liushui saw that Hu Junfeng had made up his mind and it was difficult to persuade him any further.

The five friends didn't know what to say and the atmosphere was very depressing.

They finally got to Guze Town and found an important clue, but their big backer, Tian Yuan, was about to be exiled because of his own actions.

Now they couldn't even see a glimmer of hope. They were Xia people. Who could they turn to for the tragedy of the Yue border garrison team? Who could take over?

Hao Xiong stood up irritably.

"Never mind. I'm going to go back to the carriage and take a nap. You guys can figure out the headache."

Hao Xiong said this and walked out of the room.

The little medical fairy picked out a few porcelain bottles from the medicine box and placed them on the table next to Hu Junfeng.

"Hero Hu, carry these bottles of medicine with you. The labels indicate their effects: hallucinogenic, detoxifying, healing, and a potent drug.

Although you are a chivalrous hero and disdain some despicable means, saving your life is more important. You may use some means in a critical moment. How can you be a chivalrous hero if you lose your life?

Gu Zhanghua agreed with the Little Medical Fairy.

"Hero Hu, you must accept it. We've all been in danger several times, and it was my sister's drug that helped us a lot. Of course, when dealing with a villain, you have to give him a taste of his own medicine!"

Hu Junfeng stood up and bowed to the Little Medical Fairy.

"Thank you for the medicine, Miss! Mr. Hu is very grateful!"

Not long after Zhao Xuan and Gu Zhanghua left Liyang, Xia Kingdom welcomed a great happy event.

Princess Cheng Ma Zhenzhen gave birth to a son safely. Emperor Xia Gu Li welcomed his first grandson and was overjoyed. He personally named him Gu Huai'en.

Xiao Aiyue naturally became a grandmother, but she hoped that her son could have children as soon as possible.

Xiao Aiyue asked Gu Li for permission to go to Prince Cheng's Mansion to visit Ma Zhenzhen. After a brief greeting, she rushed to Prince Xian's Mansion with her wet nurse.

This was her real purpose of leaving the palace. She wanted to find out whether Tian Shiliu was pregnant or not.

Xiao Aiyue arrived at Prince Xian's mansion, and the guard at the door immediately notified Qing'e.

Qing'e hurried to the main hall to meet Xiao Aiyue.

"Your Majesty is well. The Prince and Princess are not in the palace at the moment."

Xiao Aiyue looked at Qing'e in confusion.

"It's been a few days since they came back from their honeymoon. Where have they been now?"

Qing'e answered with some embarrassment.

"How can I ask about my master's affairs? I heard that the prince said he was going to travel and study with some great scholar. And he wanted to take the princess on a tour to enhance their relationship."

Xiao Aiyue thought to herself that she had been married to Gu Li for so many years, staying in the palace all year round and never even leaving Liyang City. Tian Shiliu had been married for less than a year, and even Prince Xian's Mansion couldn't keep her.

Xiao Aiyue snorted coldly and began to complain.

"Before my little Wu married Tian Shiliu, he loved studying and reading! Now, he's running around outside with Tian Shiliu every day and doesn't do anything serious!"

When the wet nurse heard Xiao Aiyue's complaints, she secretly thought that it was not good. If this resentment could not be relieved in time, she would be the one to suffer once she returned to the palace.

If the Queen kept complaining and couldn't sleep all night, she and Luoluo would be the first to suffer.

The wet nurse immediately took over the conversation.

"Your Highness, how can you say that His Royal Highness the Virtuous Prince doesn't do his job properly? His Majesty has praised you several times. Your Highness's contribution to redressing Jiaoyang Valley is invaluable!"

Xiao Aiyue immediately patted her chest and took several breaths.

"I'm still nervous even now when I think of this! Xiao Wu actually dared to go to the Tiandao League alone to deliver the knife!

Your Majesty doesn't send any soldiers to protect us, what if something happens?"

The wet nurse immediately stopped Xiao Aiyue from continuing her thoughts.

"There's no such thing as a one-time accident! Even though they may not have sent anyone to protect His Highness openly, they may have secretly sent people to follow His Highness, but we just don't know!

Besides, how could a martial arts sect dare to challenge His Royal Highness the Virtuous King? Your Majesty, don’t you agree?

Xiao Aiyue nodded frequently.

"Nanny is right. This matter is over long ago. Xiaowu is safe and sound!"

Xiao Aiyue remembered the main purpose of her coming to Prince Xian's Mansion and looked at Qing'e with a frown.

"The prince and princess have been married for six months and three days. The last time I asked Imperial Physician Gao to check Tian Shiliu's pulse was a month ago, and he said that she might not be pregnant yet and couldn't tell.

Qing'e, tell me honestly, is the princess still pregnant?

Qing'e answered truthfully.

"Before I left this time, I did not find any signs that the princess was pregnant."

Xiao Aiyue asked Qing'e suspiciously.

"Do you think they are just playing house?"
