The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

Gu Li almost spit out the tea he had just taken. What kind of bullshit excuse is this?

But he knew his son too well.

Since elementary school, he has been doing things intermittently and has no perseverance. But if you don't let him learn, he will insist on learning. But after the novelty wears off, he finds it boring and ends up without any skills.

If he can really persist in his medical skills this time, it may not be a bad thing.

A few days ago, Gu Li, the old father, was worried about Gu Zhanghua and Zhao Xuan. Now, he was worried about Gu Jingfeng again. He waved his hand and asked a eunuch to invite the little doctor to come over.

The Little Medical Fairy bowed to Gu Li.

"I wonder what orders your majesty has for me?"

"Little Medical Fairy, it's really inappropriate for my Feng'er to pester you like this every day. I have a suggestion, why don't you consider it?"

Gu Li spoke politely, but he sighed in his heart. For the sake of his son, he was willing to risk it all and must trick the Little Medical Fairy.

When Xiao Yixian heard Gu Li mention Gu Jingfeng, she immediately moved to the side, trying to stay as far away from Gu Jingfeng as possible while still being able to hear Gu Li talking.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Seeing that the Little Medical Fairy openly despised his son, Gu Li felt upset. After all, his son was a prince. He was so humble in pursuing study and progress. Couldn't he just give him a nice face?

But Gu Li didn't want to use his status as emperor to put pressure on Xiao Yixian, so he had to persuade her in a gentle voice.

"I'm not trying to brag about how good my son is, but Feng'er is indeed gifted, knowledgeable, and able to draw inferences from one instance. He's also determined to learn medicine from you, so you might as well devote yourself to teaching him for a while.

If he really has the talent for medicine and is willing to work hard, your skills will be passed on and can benefit more people in the future.

But if Feng'er gets tired of learning after a while, he will give up on his own initiative and won't cause you any trouble. You two can give each other a chance, okay?"

Before the Little Medical Fairy could answer, Gu Jingfeng burst into laughter.

"Yes, yes, Father, you are absolutely right. Our Xia Kingdom is so lucky to have a wise emperor like you. I am so blessed to have a father like you who cares about me.

Gu Li had just praised Gu Jingfeng against his conscience and was feeling guilty. Seeing Gu Jingfeng getting ahead of him, he immediately scolded him:

"Stop flattering me! I'm not just doing this for you. Xiao Yixian is a girl, and you're pestering her every day. If any gossip gets out, how will Xiao Yixian get married in the future?"

The little medical fairy smiled.

"I have already sworn to heaven that I will focus solely on medicine and never marry! Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about my marriage, but..."

The Little Medical Fairy really disliked Gu Jingfeng, but she was grateful to His Majesty. Her father and uncles were finally able to rest in peace, thanks to His Majesty's mercy.

She was willing to listen to His Majesty's advice and give Gu Jingfeng a chance, entirely for His Majesty's sake.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yixian looked up at Gu Li with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to try your suggestion."

After saying that, she turned around and looked at Gu Jingfeng, her brows instantly becoming cold.

"Your Majesty, let's enjoy this family feast with His Majesty today. I will start teaching you tomorrow."

"real?!"

The Little Medical Fairy nodded slightly.

Gu Jingfeng danced with excitement. If he had known that his father could deal with the Little Medical Fairy with just a few words, he would have been asking for trouble these days. He was so worried that he pulled out two handfuls of hair!

Why bother? !

?

Gu Li came to the rescue and with just a few words, he made Gu Jingfeng achieve his wish, which temporarily relieved the little medical fairy's worries. On Xiao Aiyue's side, she was looking at Zhao Xuan who was eating and drinking happily from afar with a complicated expression.

In the end, she walked down the stairs lightly, came to Zhao Xuan, and said something indifferently.

"Come with me, I have something to tell you."

Zhao Xuan suddenly raised her head and saw Xiao Aiyue walking towards the bedroom. She pointed at her nose and whispered to Gu Zhanghua who was sitting next to her.

"Were you talking to me just now, Mother?"

Gu Zhanghua had secretly asked his wet nurse, Granny Wu, and learned that his father had already coaxed his mother. When he saw Zhao Xuan looking at him in panic, he wanted to laugh.

His mother is afraid of Sister Xuan, but isn't Sister Xuan afraid of his mother either?

Gu Zhanghua pulled Zhao Xuan up and followed Xiao Aiyue hand in hand.

"It's okay, I'll go with you."

Xiao Aiyue seemed to have grown a pair of sharp ears. She immediately turned around and gave Gu Zhanghua a reproachful look, but didn't say anything.

The three of them came to the bedroom, and the noise in the side hall gradually faded away.

The nanny brewed hot tea for the three of them and placed it on the table. She smiled soothingly at Zhao Xuan, then walked behind Xiao Aiyue and stood quietly.

Xiao Aiyue reached out and grabbed Gu Zhanghua, hesitated for a moment, then reached out her other hand and grabbed Zhao Xuan. For a moment, she didn't know where to start and sighed.

"Mother, everyone is so happy, why are you sighing? Is it because the Queen wasn't invited?"

Gu Zhanghua deliberately changed the subject.

"It's normal that the Empress didn't come. I just went to try my luck. When the Crown Prince was in trouble, she was much stronger than me. She simply took off her fancy clothes, put on plain clothes, and ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddhist scriptures. If something like that happened to you, I would have committed suicide long ago..."

When Gu Zhanghua heard what Xiao Aiyue said, the corners of his mouth twitched. He was talking about something far-fetched, but his mother was able to take his words to the next level. She was quite capable!

"Mom, why are you saying such unlucky things again? Today is a family dinner!"

"Yes, it's a family dinner. After more than ten years, we are finally together again. My Qilan Palace hasn't been this lively for many years..."

Xiao Aiyue remembered the last time she held a banquet in Qilan Palace. It was when Gu Zhanghua was six years old. Qin Shao returned to Beijing to report on his work, and His Majesty wanted to hold a banquet in Qilan Palace to welcome Qin Shao.

She was in a panic after receiving the imperial edict. Xiaowu was so sad that he cried every day because his cat died of illness. She had to arrange a dinner and send people to clean up the hall. She was also worried about her son's illness. Later, she had to divide her attention to take care of the prince who came to visit her.

It happened that Zhao Xiaoman brought Zhao Xuan to visit Xiaowu. Zhao Xiaoman helped her share the preparations for the dinner, and Zhao Xuan coaxed Xiaowu, so the dinner was held smoothly.

His Majesty saw that Xiaowu and Zhao Xuan were having a good time, and joked on the spot that he would grant them a marriage. She was so scared that she hugged His Majesty's thigh and cried, asking His Majesty to take back his decision. However, Zhao Xiaoman was gloating and laughing at the side!

She was so angry!

Sister Xiaoman...

From that day on, she never saw Sister Xiaoman again...

Xiao Aiyue was lost in thought when she suddenly felt Zhao Xuan's hand moving back. She immediately glared at Zhao Xuan and scolded her.

"do not move!"

Zhao Xuan was immediately startled and obediently let Xiao Aiyue hold her hand.

Xiao Aiyue saw Zhao Xuan biting her lips tightly, looking like she was in imminent danger, with her head down and not daring to look at her. She felt very uncomfortable.

Back then, the children were still young, so it was understandable that she objected to His Majesty's marriage. But now Zhao Xuan was her daughter-in-law, so what did it mean? It could only mean that Zhao Xuan and her son were destined to be together.

Xiao Aiyue smiled at Zhao Xuan.

"What's the point of hunching your neck like a quail? Lift your head!"

Zhao Xuan shuddered again and slowly raised her head. Seeing Xiao Aiyue's warm smile, which was rarely seen in a century, she forced herself to smile, which was uglier than crying.

"Mother..."

Zhao Xuan felt worse than being executed by slow slicing. She wished Xiao Aiyue would kill her with a knife as soon as possible. Wasn't it just to bring her to justice? It was too torturous to just stare at her in silence.

And he's smiling at her?! Is there a knife hidden in that smile? It's so creepy!
