The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

She couldn't tell whether she liked or disliked Shishu Chunlan. She used to be always worried about her around the princess, and she didn't have the heart to do that.

The palace is now full of harmony. Since she came to Jiaoyang Valley and now lives in Prince Xian's Palace, she has not seen many young men of the same age as herself.

She and Shishu had a tacit understanding when doing things, but getting married and living together was another matter.

Then Chunlan became extremely worried about the princess's upcoming trip to Yue to visit relatives. Her own little problem was nothing. She would wait until the princess returned safely from Yue to deal with it.

Chunlan walked out of the warehouse and put the kimchi into the lunch box.

"Will the prince go to Yue Kingdom with the princess this time?"

The secretary picked up a jar of wine on the stove.

"The princess doesn't want the prince to go, but the prince is worried and the princess will definitely follow. What will happen in the end depends on the will of His Majesty."

Chunlan put the bowls, plates and chopsticks into the food box.

"If the prince goes to Yue, will you follow him?"

Is this even a question? Shishu immediately straightened his back, full of confidence!

"Of course I'll follow! I have to follow! Last time, His Highness went out with His Highness the True King and didn't take me with them. What happened? I almost lost my virginity!"

The three people in the study slowly drank the ginger soup. They had just been chilled to the bone by the wind and snow, but now they finally recovered.

Everyone's face regained a little redness.

Zhao Xuan put the bowl on the table, rubbed her fingers, and looked at Guan Liushui.

"What brings you to us so late at night?"

"Sister, the news has spread all over the streets that you are going to the Kingdom of Yue to meet the Emperor of Yue.

You are not Tian Shiliu at all. If your identity is exposed by Emperor Yue, how can you guarantee your safety? "

Zhao Xuan smiled at Guan Liushui soothingly.

"Your leg injury hasn't healed yet, so I asked Hao Xiong to keep it a secret from you for now, fearing you'd worry. I didn't expect you to find out anyway.

Don't worry, I have already told Prince Cheng my true identity, and he has already gone to the palace to inform my father.

I think they will come up with a practical solution.”

Gu Zhanghua was very worried about one thing, he told Guan Liushui.

"There is a key question that remains unclear: what the relationship between Emperor Yue and Tian Shiliu is.

It would be fine if they just had an ordinary relationship, but what I am most worried about is their deep brotherly love, and Tian Shiliu's death will anger the Emperor of Yue.

Sister Xuan will face great risks if she goes to Vietnam.”

Guan Liushui stood up immediately.

"You two can eat and drink by yourselves. I will rush back to the Moon Tower and ask the servants if there are any guests from Yue Kingdom recently.

I'll ask these guests and try to get some useful information, preferably directly confirming the relationship between Emperor Yue and Tian Shiliu.

Guan Liushui picked up the cloak that had not yet dried on the rack and put it on.

When did watching flowing water become impatient?

Zhao Xuan stood up helplessly and grabbed Guan Liushui's cloak.

"Don't be so anxious. It's snowing heavily outside now. Let's eat and drink and relax first.

Then you can stay in the palace for one night, and it won’t be too late to go back tomorrow when the snow stops.”

It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is. It's speechless to watch the flowing water. The fake princess is still thinking about eating and drinking when the time comes?

"Sister! I'm so anxious, how can I have the mind to eat supper? I'll try my best to find out before you go to Yue State. I'm leaving first!"

Guan Liushui opened the door of the study. The cold wind outside mixed with flying snow made him stagger. He tried to stand firm and walked out of the study without looking back.

Zhao Xuan looked at the closed door and smiled helplessly.

Everyone was worried about her and trying to find a solution, but she, the real owner, had nothing to do and could only wait for fate to decide.

Why was she not eating or drinking? Wild thoughts weren't her style. When her father made his decision, she would just follow it.

Gu Zhanghua pulled Zhao Xuan back to her seat.

"He's worried about your safety. He has to be anxious. I don't know what my second brother and father are planning to do."

Snowflakes flying all over the sky, accompanied by a biting cold wind, swept across the entire Luyang City, and soon the sky and the earth were covered in white.

The lights in the imperial study were brightly lit, and the raging cold wind made the windows rattle.

After the discussion just now, Gu Li had already made up his mind. He looked at everyone with a calm expression.

"I have decided to have the Virtuous Prince accompany the Virtuous Princess to the Kingdom of Yue to meet the Emperor of Yue. Gu Zhanghua is my fifth prince, the Virtuous Prince I personally appointed.

His identity can serve as a protective umbrella for Zhao Xuan, and the Emperor of Yue will definitely act with caution."

Yang Liuming made a suggestion.

"Your Majesty can have the guards and secret guards escort the virtuous prince and his wife all the way to Yue. However, if they enter the palace to see the Emperor of Yue, the secret guards will be powerless to stop them."

Who says it's not? Gu Li knew it clearly.

"My dear minister, you share my thoughts. This still cannot guarantee absolute safety. It's too late today, so let's leave it at that for now.

Zhao Xuan's identity cannot be made public yet, so my dear ministers must keep it a secret.

You should hurry back home and rest first. If you have any good ideas, come back and report them to me tomorrow."

Everyone hurriedly saluted Gu Li.

"I will obey your majesty's order!"

After everyone left, Gu Li stood up and sat down in front of the desk. Han Gu took a cloak and put it on Gu Li.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, be careful not to catch a cold."

Gu Li spread out a piece of letter paper, and Han Gu hurriedly ground the ink.

Gu Li picked up the brush and began to write a letter. As he wrote, he put down the brush and rubbed his red eyes.

"I never expected that Xiaoman would be killed by a poisoned arrow during the attack on the diplomatic mission, and now her most beloved child has to go to the Kingdom of Yue to suffer.

I feel really bad! Block the news, especially Concubine Shu, don't let her know about Xiaoman's death and Zhao Xuan's true identity. "

Han Gu quickly responded, "Yes."

Thinking of Concubine Xiao Shufei, his heart trembled three times.

Back then, Concubine Shu and Headmaster Zhao were as close as sisters. Once they heard the news of Zhao Xiaoman's death, they would definitely cry, but I don't know to what extent they would cry?

Just don't cry out a moat.

And Concubine Shu has been full of hatred for Zhao Xuan over the years, but now she has become her daughter-in-law, but she knows nothing about it.

When the truth is known, Zhao Xuan will definitely be beaten and scolded. I wonder if the chaos will be limited to Qilan Palace, or will it spread throughout the whole city?

Han Gu shed tears of sympathy for His Majesty and wiped the cold sweat from the wise king's forehead.

The relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is terrible, and the most pitiful ones are the two husbands who are caught in the middle!

Gu Li folded the written letter and handed it to Han Gu.

"Give the letter to the secret guard and have him rush to Yancheng overnight to personally deliver it to Qin Shao. He must be informed of Zhao Xiaoman's death.

I couldn't hide my heartache after hearing this, and I wonder how much more distressed my brother would be if he knew."

Han Gu took the letter and reminded Gu Li in time.

"Your Majesty, it's already three quarters past midnight. You should rest early."

Gu Li shook his head slightly.

"You go first. I need to think carefully. There must be a way to ensure the safe return of Xiaowu and Zhao Xuan!"

Han Gu sighed inwardly, it seemed that His Majesty would have to spend another sleepless night.

Guan Liushui rushed back to Dengyue Tower overnight. He went into his room and took off his cloak. The servant Yutian was waiting on him.

Guan Liushui rubbed his hands, covered his red face with his hands, and took the towel handed to him by Yutian to wipe his wet hair.

"Yutian, are there many visitors from Yue Kingdom recently?"

"Quite a few. Yesterday, a merchant from Yue State booked Nong Yue Pavilion for a month."

Guan Liushui threw the towel to Yutian.

"Big deal! Have you ever met this customer? Is he a fool with a lot of money?"

Yutian said with a giggle.

"Congratulations to Brother Shui for adding another super watercolor!"

At this time, the voice of another servant was heard at the door.

"Brother Shui, are you asleep?"

Guan Liushui walked over and opened the door.

"You're still awake, what's up?"

The servant handed a token in his hand to Guan Liushui, with doubt in his voice.

"A man who claims to be your brother asked me to give you this token, saying he has something urgent to discuss with you."

Guan Liushui took the token, took a quick look at it, and recognized it as the token of the Tiandao League.

Guan Liushui was surprised and happy. His only brother was his cousin Hu Junfeng.

Hu Junfeng parted ways with them in Chuyang City a month ago and escorted the former Crown Prince Tian Yuan of Yue Kingdom to Kurumu City. Could it be that his cousin has returned?

Tian Shang would never let Tian Yuan go easily. He didn't know whether Tian Yuan arrived at Kurumu City safely, nor did he know whether his cousin was injured while escorting him along the way.

But the journey must be very dangerous.

"Where are they now?"

The servant answered quickly.

"He also brought a servant with him. He looked skinny and dirty. I have already taken them both to the Tianlanya Room to wait."
