As soon as Chu Wan finished speaking, he saw Nangong Li and the others all looking at him.

Li Liuyun said with a half-smile, "So, those who stayed to listen to the gossip are all fools?"

Chu Wan then realized that she had said the wrong thing and immediately made a slapping motion: "Ouch, Princess, look at my stupid mouth. I didn't even think about what I just said, but my stupid mouth just blurted it out."

What I mean is, I don't want to listen to gossip, then be buried alive because I can't help but tell others. If I already know something and still can't help but listen, wouldn't I be a fool?

Your Highness, Princess, Crown Princess, please stay and listen to His Highness the Crown Prince recount the rescue. I must take my leave now! See you tomorrow!

After Chu Wan finished speaking, she opened the study door and fled.

Seeing Chu Wan looking like she was being chased by a dog, Li Liuyun shook his head. This person was quite sensible, actually. Then he looked at Chu Huainan: "Your Highness, please tell me quickly, how did you manage to save my senior brother by chance?"

After Li Liuyun finished speaking, Nangong Li and Murong Xing looked at Chu Huainan with expectant expressions.

Seeing the gossipy looks on everyone's faces as they looked at him, Chu Huainan slowly began to speak: "About a year ago, one night, my mother suddenly fainted and fell into a coma for some unknown reason. I rode into the palace to see her, and when I came out of the palace, I passed by Songzhu Courtyard."

Suddenly, a figure fell from the second floor. The guards thought it was an assassin and were about to make a move! But I realized that the person did not seem to know martial arts. As if seeking death, he fell straight down like a stone.

I then rescued him. At the time, he was wearing a thin veil like a woman. When I saw this, I immediately wanted to throw him away, but he grabbed my sleeve tightly and said that he was a doctor and that he had been deceived, begging me to save him.

Seeing that his eyes were clear and that he had a faint medicinal fragrance, I guessed that what he said was true, that he had been ordered to arrest the pimp in charge of the Songzhu Courtyard.

That person naturally recognized me. As soon as he saw that I hadn't used any torture, he told me everything. It turned out that my senior brother had just arrived in the Southern Border Imperial City and encountered a beggar on the road. He helped the beggar whenever he asked, which is why he was targeted.

The group first had a woman pretend to sell herself to bury her father, which aroused your senior brother's sympathy. Then they swindled twenty taels of silver from your senior brother. They then asked your senior brother to help treat his elderly mother, claiming that she was seriously ill. Your senior brother thought that it was really not easy for a weak woman, and since he was a doctor, he agreed to go to her house with the woman to treat her mother.

As soon as he entered, he was knocked unconscious, drugged, and sold to a male brothel called Songzhuyuan. Fortunately, the people there only searched his silver; the silver needles on his body were not worth much, so they didn't take them.

After your senior brother woke up, he discovered he had been drugged. He used acupuncture to temporarily control the drug's effects and was just about to escape when he found the door open and a man entering. The man tried to grope him, but your senior brother, driven to desperation, jumped from the second floor, choosing death to preserve his chastity!

Afterwards, I took your senior brother back and arrested all those people, sending them to the authorities. Your senior brother was grateful for my saving his life and said he wanted to stay in my residence for a year to serve me! Rongbo even laughed at me for going out and picking up someone.

He even begged me not to tell anyone that he had been tricked into going to the Nanfeng Pavilion. He said he couldn't lose face for his sect, and that if his master found out, he would definitely break his legs.

Upon hearing Chu Huainan's words, Li Liuyun's eyes widened in shock: "My God, I never imagined that my senior brother was once sold to a male prostitution brothel and almost humiliated."

Those human traffickers were despicable, but my senior brother is too naive; he's so easily fooled. However, he's right. If my master finds out about this, he'll not only break his legs, but he might also have that brothel destroyed.

Therefore, I hope the Crown Prince and Crown Princess can keep today's events to themselves. Otherwise, if word gets out that a disciple of my Divine Doctor Valley was tricked into going to the South Wind Pavilion, almost lost his virginity to a man, and was even driven to the brink of suicide, my senior brother's leg might really be ruined.

Chu Huainan nodded with a smile after hearing Li Liuyun's words: "I am not a gossip. The reason I brought this up today is simply because the princess said she wanted to take your senior brother home."

"I only want to remind the princess that even if you bring your senior brother home, you must arrange for a reliable person to stay by his side. Otherwise, your senior brother might be sold out and still be counting the money for the other party."

After hearing Chu Huainan's words, Nangong Li looked at Li Liuyun with a helpless expression: "I think the Crown Prince is right. If no one is watching your senior brother, he might really be sold out and even help others count the silver."

Li Liuyun nodded: "Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness. Now that I have brought my senior brother back, I will definitely arrange for someone to take care of him! Thank you for taking care of my senior brother these days, Your Highness."

I have a bottle of Limitless Pill and a bottle of Disguise Pill here as a token of my gratitude to Your Highness for saving my senior brother. Please accept them!

Chu Huainan did not accept Li Liuyun's pills, but shook his head: "It is true that I saved him back then, but he also served as the physician in my household for almost a year. That favor has long been repaid, so how can I accept the princess's gift of gratitude!"

Li Liuyun thought for a moment and said, "In that case, these two bottles of pills are a gift from me, as a friend, to His Highness the Crown Prince and his wife to celebrate their family's reunion!"

Chu Huainan was about to say something more when Murong Xing tugged at his sleeve and took the pill: "Since it's Yun'er's kind gesture, then we'll accept it. Thank you, Yun'er!"

Li Liuyun smiled and nodded: "Aunt Xing, you're too kind. We still need to go to Huichuntang, and we'll take my senior brother out for a stroll while we're at it. We'll be leaving now."

Chu Huainan nodded: "Then Your Highness and Princess, please return early. We'll have dinner together tonight." After saying that, he saw the two of them out of the study.

Nangong Li and Li Liuyun left the study and asked a servant to fetch Zhang Nanfeng. After a while, Zhang Nanfeng appeared in front of Li Liuyun carrying a bundle.

Seeing Zhang Nanfeng carrying a bundle, Li Liuyun asked curiously, "Senior Brother, we're just going to Huichun Hall to deliver a message. Why are you carrying a bundle? What's in it?"

Zhang Nanfeng patted his bundle happily: "These are all the medicinal herbs that Manager Li sent over before. He asked me to make them into pills in my spare time, and then give me a 10% commission based on the selling price. Once I hand them all over to the manager, I will get a sum of money, and then I can buy gifts for my junior sister and master."
