The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

Xiao Aiyue's resentment almost turned into reality, and there was a faint black aura floating on her face.

"Your Majesty! You already knew that Tian Shiliu was Zhao Xuan, why didn't you tell me?!"

Gu Li was speechless. He looked at Xiao Aiyue's angry and resentful face, and his heart skipped a beat, as if this was not a fair thing to do.

"I didn't know about it much earlier than you did. I only found out before the two children left for Yue..."

Gu Li glanced at Xiao Aiyue with some guilt.

"As the ruler of a country, I can understand why you didn't tell me even though you knew about it, but why did the second and third brothers, even the servants in the mansion, know about it, but I didn't know?"

Xiao Aiyue turned around and glared at Han Gu.

"Tell me, did you know this a long time ago?"

Han Gu shrank his neck and knelt down.

"Old slave, old slave..."

Han Gu kept calling himself "old slave" for a long time but didn't finish a complete sentence.

He served His Majesty personally, so it was impossible for him not to know about it. His Majesty summoned ministers several times to discuss the matter of the virtuous king and his wife going to the Kingdom of Yue, and he did not avoid him at all. He was not deaf.

But if he admitted that he had known that the virtuous princess was Zhao Xuan, would it add fuel to the fire of the queen?

The Queen had a quarrel with His Majesty. Although His Majesty would not vent his anger on him, he did not want to put a knife in the Queen's hand either!

Han Gu, who has always been good at dealing with people and as steady as a rock, was completely stumped by Xiao Aiyue's questions!

Should he admit it or not?

In the end, it was Gu Li who rescued Eunuch Han.

"Don't embarrass him! Come here and sit down!"

Gu Li waved to Xiao Aiyue to sit next to him, and waved to Han Gu. Only then did Han Gu get up from the ground, wipe the sweat off his face and stand aside.

Gu Li placed the divorce letter on the table and pointed with his finger.

"First, tell me what's going on with this divorce letter?"

Xiao Aiyue poured out all her grievances.

“I went to the Xianwang Mansion today with good intentions to visit Xiaowu and my good daughter-in-law!”

Speaking of the words "good daughter-in-law", Xiao Aiyue couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, sneered, and then continued:

"Who would have thought I'd accidentally discovered that Tian Shiliu was actually that little bastard Zhao Xuan! As her mother, shouldn't I have the right to know? Wasn't it her fault for keeping it a secret from me?

What's wrong with me scolding her? But you know what? Xiao Wu just kept saying good things about Zhao Xuan, not caring about my feelings as a mother!

In a fit of anger, I asked Xiaowu to divorce Zhao Xuan. Xiaowu was definitely not happy about it, but Zhao Xuan agreed without hesitation and handed me the divorce letter after a while.

No matter how I thought about it, I felt something was wrong, so I hurried back to the palace and asked, "Your Majesty, please help me check whether this divorce letter is real or fake."

After hearing this, Gu Li didn't know what to say. When he imagined the scene at that time, it must have been a chaotic scene. The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

He thought to himself that he had underestimated Xiao Aiyue's fighting ability. It was a close call. It was better to make a scene in Prince Xian's mansion than at the palace banquet tomorrow!

Thinking of this, Gu Li held Xiao Aiyue's hand and said earnestly:

"My beloved! I originally wanted to wait until tomorrow's palace banquet to explain this to you, but it's good for you to know now, but..."

Gu Li felt a headache when he looked at the divorce letter.

"There's nothing wrong with this divorce letter. It's just that the two children love each other. Why did you have to make such a fuss? Secretly, you divorced Zhao Xuan, and publicly, you divorced Princess Tian Shiliu of Yue!"

When Xiao Aiyue heard this, her face changed drastically!

Yes, how could she forget about this?

When Zhao Xuan went to the Kingdom of Yue, no one, from the king to the ministers, exposed Zhao Xuan's identity. This meant that the Emperor of Yue recognized Zhao Xuan as his imperial sister. Zhao Xuan had a very good reputation in the Kingdom of Yue, and her status rose rapidly.

But Xiao Aiyue still defended herself with a look of grievance.

"Zhao Xuan has been bullying our Xiaowu since they were little. Xiaowu has been getting rashes on his head ever since they got married. I can't stand seeing her and Xiaowu together. If anything happens to Xiaowu in the future...I'm going to die anyway!"

After saying that, she covered her face with her hands and started crying.

"Look at what nonsense you are talking about."

Gu Li took Xiao Aiyue's hand away and wanted to wipe her tears, but when he saw Xiao Aiyue's cat-like face, Gu Li couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Your face is covered in black and red..."

Before Gu Li finished speaking, Xiao Aiyue's crying stopped abruptly. She touched her face with her eyes wide open in horror, then suddenly stood up and ran out of the hall.

Gu Li hurriedly shouted, "My beloved, where are you going?"

Xiao Aiyue didn't even turn her head.

“Clean your face!!!”

Gu Li was stunned for a moment, picked up the chopsticks again, and began to eat absent-mindedly, while Han Gu waited silently on the side.

As Gu Li was eating, he suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Why is she so upset? With this divorce letter, can Xiaowu really stop living with Xuan'er? The two children have a good relationship. He wrote a divorce letter to fool her, but she actually took it seriously!"

Han Gu knew that the "she" in His Majesty's words referred to the Consort Shu, and he quickly responded:

"The Queen is angry. Your Majesty, please give her some words of advice. Once she calms down, everything will be over."

Gu Li stopped to think, then sighed after a moment.

"She hasn't lived as well as her two children. Never mind. I'm going to go over and have a good talk with her."

Gu Li came to Qilan Palace. As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he saw Xiao Aiyue, who had dressed up meticulously and came out to greet him. However, there was still a hint of resentment on her face, and she looked listless.

The two of them came to the bedroom and sat down. Gu Li put his arm around Xiao Aiyue's shoulders and patted her gently.

"I didn't know about it a few days earlier than you did, and they both had to leave for Yue Kingdom as planned. I was worried that you would suffer from sleepless nights if you knew about it, so I didn't tell you in time."

Gu Li came forward and offered the ladder. Xiao Aiyue was very sensitive and quickly climbed down the ladder, whispering:

"I'm not the kind of person who would make a fuss. I just remember when I was six years old. If she hadn't tricked Xiaowu into hiding in a box with her... Xiaowu wouldn't have been so frightened and contracted an incurable disease..."

"My beloved, you are so worried that you are confused. I have told Xiaowu about his brother, the Crown Prince, several times, and he has not had any relapses. Have you ever thought that this might be due to Zhao Xuan's efforts?

The person who tied the bell must untie it. If it weren't for Zhao Xuan, Xiaowu's illness would be so troublesome! Don't you agree? "

Xiao Aiyue remained silent, then nodded after a while.

"Your Majesty said so."

Gu Li said in a deep voice: "And Xiaoman..."

Xiao Aiyue finally came to her senses. She was completely unprepared and suddenly learned of Zhao Xuan's identity. She felt a mixture of emotions and had no time to think about anything else.

Zhao Xuan and Zhao Xiaoman disappeared at the same time. Now that Zhao Xuan is back, where is Zhao Xiaoman? Considering how much Zhao Xiaoman doted on Zhao Xuan, she would definitely be with Zhao Xuan.

Xiao Aiyue suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. She looked nervous, grabbed Gu Li's arm and asked questions repeatedly.

"Yes, how is Xiaoman? Zhao Xuan is back now, but where is she? Did something happen to her?"

Gu Li held Xiao Aiyue's hand. Xiao Aiyue felt a little pain. She frowned and endured the pain. She saw unspeakable pain on Gu Li's face.

Her heart also ached!

"Could it be that Xiaoman, could it be that..."

"Xiao Man was shot by a poisoned arrow on the night the mission was in trouble... She passed away..."

Gu Li suppressed his sadness and spoke these words word by word.

"What?! Sister Xiaoman..."

Xiao Aiyue screamed and tears fell instantly.

Gu Li then explained to Xiao Aiyue everything that Zhao Xuan had experienced over the years, and Xiao Aiyue had already burst into tears.

"I didn't expect... I didn't expect Xuan'er to have such a miserable life these years!"

The resentment in her heart suddenly disappeared without a trace.
