The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

Zhao Xuan quickly reached out to support the wet nurse.

"Grandma Wu, be careful not to sprain your waist!"

The wet nurse was extremely anxious at this time, secretly cursing His Royal Highness the True King for being untrustworthy. Would the True King escape from the battlefield and get away with it?

How could she report to the Empress if she failed to complete the task? The Empress cried, made a scene, and even threatened to hang herself. She tried her best but couldn't get rid of the problem.

When the time comes, she will have to trouble His Majesty or the wise king to come forward to rescue her. Where will she put her old face?

He has really lost all his integrity in his later years. All the prestige he has built up in the palace over the years is now gone!

The wet nurse wanted to die at this moment. She looked at Zhao Xuan with tears in her eyes and made up her mind to stay with the princess no matter what.

If the prince really can't be sent away, it is also an option to go back to the room with the princess and talk slowly. The task assigned by the queen must be completed today.

"When I saw the princess, I felt she looked familiar. She really looks like my granddaughter whom I haven't seen for many years. She is about the same age as you, and I think it's time for you to get married.

Ever since I accompanied the Queen to Xia Country to marry His Majesty, I haven't seen my granddaughter for twenty years! I can't stop crying when I think of my granddaughter, and I'm sorry to make you laugh."

The nanny patted Zhao Xuan's hand and began to wipe her tears. This trick really worked and immediately aroused Zhao Xuan's overflowing sympathy.

Zhao Xuan helped the wet nurse back to her seat.

"Don't be sad, Grandma Wu. You kept staring at me, and I was wondering why. It turns out I look like your granddaughter.

But twenty years ago, she was probably still in her infancy. How could she be similar to me now?"

The wet nurse looked at Zhao Xuan with her mouth open, not knowing how to answer the princess's question.

Fortunately, Gu Jingfeng arrived in time at the critical moment. He followed the secretary into the side hall and put his arm around Gu Zhanghua's shoulders.

"Fifth brother, I'm dying to see you go out! You two are always going on honeymoons, and it's making me itch!

If I wasn't followed by a bunch of ladies every time I go out, it would be so grand, I really want to go out and have fun like you two!"

Gu Zhanghua looked at Gu Jingfeng with a smile.

"Third brother, we are so in tune with each other. I just told the princess that I would take some time out to visit your house in the next two days. We two brothers haven't had a good chat for a while."

"It's better to do it now than today! Third Brother will take you to a good place now!"

"What a good place?"

Gu Jingfeng laughed out loud.

"I can't tell you now, Third Brother is going to give you a big surprise!"

Gu Zhanghua was overjoyed. How could he not bring Sister Xuan along for such a good event?

It just so happened that he and Sister Xuan were both feeling depressed these days because of the border defense team's affairs, so it would be nice to go out with their third brother to relax.

Gu Zhanghua waved to Zhao Xuan.

"Princess, aren't you bored staying in the mansion? Let's go out and play with Third Brother! Third Brother has the most variety, I guarantee you won't get tired of playing for days!"

Zhao Xuan heard that there was something fun to do and didn't care about the wet nurse's words that were full of loopholes.

"Okay! I'm going back to the house to change clothes, you guys wait for me!"

The wet nurse kept winking at Gu Jingfeng.

Of course Gu Jingfeng understood what the wet nurse meant, and he used two approaches to deal with one of them.

He is responsible for his fifth brother, and his fifth brother's wife is under the training of Grandma Wu, so she definitely cannot go with the two brothers.

Gu Jingfeng suddenly had an idea.

"Sister-in-law, you can't go. I wanted to have a private chat with my fifth brother today and ask him to help me solve my problems. Didn't you see that I didn't bring any wives with me?"

Zhao Xuan thought about it and it made sense. Gu Jingfeng was not doing his job all day long. He only cared about eating, drinking and having fun. What could he have to worry about?

It must be related to the ladies, that’s why she doesn’t want to get involved in Gu Jingfeng’s messy household affairs.

"Since Third Brother has something private to say to my prince, I won't interrupt you. You two can chat."

Gu Zhanghua looked at the secretary.

"Shishu, go prepare the car."

Gu Jingfeng waved towards the secretary.

"Two carriages are such a waste, Fifth Brother, you take mine!"

"Third brother has thought it through. I will listen to you. Shishu, you come with me."

Gu Jingfeng thought to himself, how could the two brothers let Shishu get involved in something private?

The secretary has always been protective of his master. If he interferes with her in completing the important task entrusted by the Concubine Shu, ten of her plus Yanbo will not be able to defeat him.

At that time, he could order Yanbo to wait in the carriage, but he could not control Shishu, so Shishu definitely could not follow.

"You can go out alone with the maid, or go out with Third Brother to relax without the maid. Third Brother will provide you with money and people!

We two brothers haven't had a heart-to-heart talk together for a long time. There are some things in my house that I don't want the secretary to know. It's embarrassing."

Gu Zhanghua understood as soon as he heard that his third brother really wanted to complain to him, and it must be related to the ladies in the mansion. It was indeed not good to let the maid listen to the gossip about his third brother's family.

"You are right. The secretary will stay in the mansion. Third brother, let's go."

Shishu wanted to say something but he had no chance to interrupt. He was worried that every time the prince went out without him, something bad would happen.

Once when I went to Honglu Temple without him, he committed suicide and became ill. And last time when I went to Guze Town without him, I didn't have any money.

Why doesn't Your Highness learn this lesson? Will we run into trouble again if we don't bring him along this time?

Shishu kept sighing in his heart, but as a guard, he was powerless to change the decision made by his two masters and could only obey orders and follow instructions.

Gu Jingfeng hugged Gu Zhanghua and walked out of the side hall. Before leaving, he secretly cast a coquettish glance at the wet nurse.

Zhao Xuan happened to see this scene, and she shuddered all over and got goosebumps all over her body.

No way, the third brother is popular with both young and old. Although Granny Wu has taken good care of herself and looks to be in her thirties, as the wet nurse of Concubine Shu, her actual age is at least around fifty.

When the wet nurse saw Gu Jingfeng taking Gu Zhanghua away, he winked at her smugly. It seemed that His Royal Highness the True King was confident. She just needed to teach the princess well, and she would surely succeed!

The wet nurse came up to Zhao Xuan with a serious expression.

"Princess, His Royal Highness the Virtuous Prince was here just now, so I couldn't say some things. Now that it's just the two of us, I want to ask you a question on your behalf."

Zhao Xuan thought that the visitor had indeed come with bad intentions. The Concubine Shu was staring at her. What should she do?

"What does the Queen want to ask me?"

"Have the princess and the prince not yet consummated their marriage?"

Zhao Xuan immediately had a splitting headache. What she feared came true. The queen did not do her job seriously, but kept bothering with the couple's privacy every day.

Zhao Xuan didn't want to answer this question at all. Seeing that the wet nurse was determined not to give up until she got the answer clearly, she sighed in her heart and had to explain to the wet nurse.

“When I first married the prince, we were unfamiliar with each other and had no such thoughts.

Later, the prince was determined to do great things. He had just helped Prince Cheng solve the Jiaoyang Valley robbery case some time ago. Later..."

The wet nurse interrupted Zhao Xuan.

"I understand what you mean, Princess. You mean you two weren't familiar with each other at first, but later on you became close, but you were always busy and didn't have time, right?"

Zhao Xuan smiled ingratiatingly at the wet nurse.

"Grandma Wu, you are so considerate!"

The wet nurse asked Zhao Xuan in return.

"Are you sure you don't have time, or you don't understand?"

Zhao Xuan didn't want to continue this topic.

"Did Mother send you here just to ask about this? The prince and I have our own lives and plans.

Mother, can you please stop interfering in our lives?"

The wet nurse spoke to Zhao Xuan earnestly.

"Princess, please put yourself in my shoes. Princess Cheng has already given birth, but you haven't even made any movement. How can I not be anxious?

And if I don't ask clearly, how can I teach you the way to consummate marriage?"

Zhao Xuan covered her face with one hand. She was really embarrassed and didn't know how to continue the topic. She wanted to run away.
