The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

Gu Zhanghua sighed in his heart. What is coming will come, and what needs to be faced cannot be avoided.

Gu Zhanghua gritted his teeth in the quilt, opened the quilt, pretended to have just woken up, and asked weakly: "Who is making so much noise?"

When Gu Jingfeng heard Gu Zhanghua's voice, he rushed to the bed, put his hands on Gu Zhanghua's shoulders, and stared at Gu Zhanghua's face in ecstasy.

"Fifth brother! Fifth brother, you're finally awake!"

Suddenly, Gu Jingfeng's mouth twisted, his eyes closed, and a big tear fell on Gu Zhanghua's face.

"Fifth brother, Third Brother misses you so much!"

Seeing this, Gu Zhanghua felt even more upset: "I'm sorry..."

Gu Jingfeng said anxiously: "Speak of you! I asked you to hurry to the Honglu Temple to help me and make sure nothing is left out, but you can't just barge into the princess's bedroom!"

Gu Zhanghua felt even more ashamed: "I was wrong..."

Shishu hurried over to help Gu Zhanghua up. Gu Zhanghua sat against the head of the bed. Gu Jingfeng sat down on the edge of the bed and sighed deeply.

Gu Zhanghua was about to confess everything to his third brother when he saw Gu Jingfeng suddenly stand up again, raising his arms and shouting:

"Thank goodness you're okay! I can finally be free!"

Gu Zhanghua was completely confused by his third brother's words.

Gu Jingfeng had already sat down on the bed again, stretched out a finger, and poked and pointed at Gu Zhanghua's body, saying disdainfully:

"The wedding has been moved to tomorrow. Can you handle it? If not, Third Brother will get you some medicine. Power Pills! Intoxicating in the World! Ten Steps Back and Smile! Ten Days of Desolate Soul Tour! Anyway, Third Brother's house has everything you need!"

The secretary standing by was confused.

"Your Majesty, what kind of medicine are these? I've never heard of them before, but they all sound pretty good!"

Gu Jingfeng rolled his eyes at Shishu: "Little brat, you don't understand!"

The secretary muttered, "I'm three years older than His Royal Highness the Wise King. How come I'm a brat?"

Gu Jingfeng glared at the secretary: "How dare you talk back?"

Gu Zhanghua hurriedly grabbed Gu Jingfeng's hand. He actually didn't understand what kind of strange medicine his third brother was talking about, but he believed that his third brother would not harm him.

"Alright, alright, Third Brother, I'm just a little weak. I just need a good meal. I'll definitely be able to come back tomorrow!"

Gu Jingfeng held Gu Zhanghua's hand and sighed, "Fifth brother, if anything happens to the Princess of Yue..."

Gu Jingfeng sobbed and couldn't continue.

When Gu Zhanghua saw his third brother in such pain, his heart suddenly tightened. He had already lost his brother, the crown prince, and he couldn't bear to see his third brother sad again.

Besides, if he doesn't repay the heroine's kindness now, he will have another chance in the future. At worst, he can pay with his life. But he can't just watch his third brother being trapped by love, and the brotherhood must not be betrayed. Those rumors spreading on the streets are all rumors, and rumors stop at wise people.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhanghua put on his shoes and went downstairs, saying to the secretary, "Shishu, find me some clothes, quickly!"

The secretary hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, you are feeling better now. Where are you going?"

Gu Zhanghua said without hesitation: "Go to Honglu Temple!"

Gu Jingfeng immediately clapped his hands and said, "That's right! Don't worry, Third Brother will go with you and ensure that it goes smoothly! Do you want to eat something first?"

Gu Zhanghua shook his head: "It's too late!"

Gu Jingfeng smacked his lips and said, "That's right. I'll buy you some buns on the way. You can eat first. After the wedding, Third Brother will treat you to a big meal!"

In a flash, the two brothers got on the carriage, left Prince Xian's Mansion and headed towards the Honglu Temple. On the way, Gu Jingfeng kept his word and bought eight big meat buns, and he and Gu Zhanghua ate them one by one.

Gu Jingfeng took a bite of his bun and asked Gu Zhanghua, "Fifth brother, are you sure you can convince the princess?"

Gu Zhanghua was full of confidence and patted his chest vigorously.

"Third brother, don't worry! I guarantee I'll complete the mission! I've already thought about it. If she keeps arguing with me about that cursed oath she swore since childhood, I'll say I'm extremely nearsighted. Even though I was close, her face looked nothing but a blurry mass of white flesh, devoid of any facial features! Doesn't that count as seeing her true face? Can she still cheat?!"

When Gu Jingfeng heard what Gu Zhanghua said, his expression changed drastically. He stood up suddenly, but accidentally hit his head on the roof of the car with a dull "bang". However, he ignored the pain, looked at Gu Zhanghua in disbelief, turned around, lifted the car curtain, and was about to jump out of the car.

Gu Zhanghua didn't understand what was going on, so he reached out and grabbed Gu Jingfeng.

"Third brother, where are you going?"

Gu Jingfeng struggled but couldn't break free.

Gu Zhanghua then asked, "What's wrong with you? Why did your face change so suddenly? Doesn't my explanation make sense? I don't think there's anything wrong!"

Gu Jingfeng gritted his teeth, turned around, sat opposite Gu Zhanghua, and tried to persuade him patiently.

"There's a problem, a big problem! Think about it, the princess is a fierce woman. Even if you tell her the truth, she won't marry you. What can you do? Do you really want her to die?"

Gu Zhanghua didn't understand and asked, "Third brother, what should I do according to your opinion?"

Gu Jingfeng slapped his thigh and said, "Marry her! What else can you do? A beautiful girl... Alas, although I am reluctant to let her go... But for you, my fifth brother! I will bear the pain and let her go!"

Gu Zhanghua hurriedly evaded the question, "How can that be?! Taking someone's beloved away is ungentlemanly! I must explain this to her!"

Gu Jingfeng clenched his fists, closed his eyes, and said earnestly:

"Fifth brother! You misunderstood me! You know that Third Brother has always been kind to women, so how could he disregard the life of a beauty? You don't know that the Princess of Yue was going to commit suicide for love! If Second Brother hadn't rescued her at the critical moment, she would have died long ago! Compared to Third Brother's selfish desires, human life is more important! Besides, she is the Princess of Yue. If something happens to her in our Xia Kingdom, how will you ask the Emperor to explain to Yue?! So listen to Third Brother. The most foolproof plan, the safest way, is for you to marry her!"

"But……"

"No buts! The people support you, Fifth Brother! Right now, everyone on the streets is talking about you two. They all say that the Princess of Yue is pitiful. It all depends on whether the virtuous king is virtuous enough. Can he save the princess from this dire situation? If you don't marry him, what kind of situation will you put me, your Third Brother, in? I'll really become a villain, condemned by all the people!"

Having said that, Gu Jingfeng slapped his face hard.

"Where will Third Brother put his face when that happens? Really, he'll be too embarrassed to be a human being! Fifth Brother, just listen to my advice! Okay?!"

Gu Zhanghua reached out and firmly grasped Gu Jingfeng's hand, saying emotionally, "Third brother, it's really not easy for you! It's so difficult to make such a decision!"

Gu Jingfeng was ecstatic: "You agree? To marry the Princess of Yue?"

Gu Zhanghua sighed sadly, "Now that things have come to this, Third Brother is absolutely right! It's up to you, Third Brother, to make the decision! But as for Father..."

Gu Jingfeng burst into tears of joy and interrupted Gu Zhanghua: "That's great! It's really great... You saved my life!"

Gu Jingfeng shouted to the secretary who was driving, "Secretary! Turn around! We're not going to the Honglu Temple! Hurry and get into the palace! We need to talk to my father about something important!"
