The king turned around.Xiao Heng smiled.
The smile was too much.
In a second, he switched to his weakened, pale, dying state, as if he couldn’t raise the corner of his lips: “You take care too.”
“Hmm.” The king nodded with a complex expression, placing his hands behind his back, and left Qilin Palace with Zhang Dequan and the nanny holding the little princess.
…
Gu Jiao stayed in the ICU until dawn before coming out.
In the second half of the night, she sat on a chair, fell asleep at the bedside, and when she woke up, the National Master was already gone.
Two dead warriors resumed guarding outside the iron door. Seeing Gu Jiao come out, they reacted faintly, as if she, like the king, could freely enter and exit here.
“What did the National Master tell you?” Gu Jiao asked the two.
One of them said, “The National Master said, besides him and Young Master Xiao, no third person could enter.”
Gu Jiao made a sound of understanding and muttered, “That’s more like it.”
Xiao Heng opened the door of the house and walked towards Gu Jiao: “Are you tired? I had some porridge prepared, go have some.”
“Alright.” Gu Jiao went towards his house with him, “Where is Jingkong?”
The two dead warriors were right behind them, Xiao Heng pondered his words: “He went to school, his sister came to pick him up.”
This was telling Gu Jiao that little Jingkong had Gu Chengfeng with him, and everything was safe.
Gu Jiao felt relieved, and went to Xiao Heng’s side to drink a bowl of porridge.
Though it was summer, because she had expended her energy, she still had a good appetite, and she ate a big meat bun.
“Where is the little princess?” she asked.
Xiao Heng replied: “She went back to the palace with the king. Additionally, it seems the king reinstated my mother’s identity as a princess.”
Xiao Heng may not have attended the morning court, but the king personally addressed Shangguan Yun as the Third Princess this morning, so it ought to be correct.
Gu Jiao nodded in satisfaction: “That’s wonderful.”
After paying such a high price, it certainly wasn’t just the dethroning of the Crown Prince.
First restore the identity of the princess, the next step is to plot for the position of the Crown Princess.
Mentioning this, Gu Jiao suddenly remembered the conversation with the National Master in the ICU last night.
She took a handkerchief, wiped her mouth, and said to Xiao Heng: “You don’t need to find an excuse to go to the Crown Prince’s mansion, I already know who stabbed Gu Changqing. It was one of the Han Concubine’s retainers, a very skilled master, known in Jianghu as Dark Soul.”
“Dark Soul?” Xiao Heng murmured.
This title sounded formidable.
“The National Master told you?” he asked.
“Hmm.” Gu Jiao nodded, “He also told me the secret of Han Wuye. Han Wuye turned gray at a young age due to poisoning, which added to his strength.”
Xiao Heng was puzzled: “Premature aging? Increased strength? This is so bizarre, what kind of poison is it?”
Gu Jiao shook her head: “I’m not sure, I’ll find an opportunity later to ask Lady Nan. But I believe, since Qun Xuan has been at the Han family for such a long time without curing the poison in Han Ci, this poison’s origin must be unique. Additionally, the National Master mentioned someone, not sure if it’s Long Yi.”
Years ago, the previous emperor left eight Dragon Shadow Guards, the younger ones were given to the emperor of Zhan Country, the older ones to Princess Xinyang.
These dead warriors were all bought by the old Liang King through underground martial arts arena, with a ten-year contract signed by both parties, trained by designated personnel as per the emperor’s requests.
And the Dragon Shadow Guards given to Princess Xinyang were the first batch of dead warriors. They were nearly trained, if they still needed to continue training in the camp, Long Yi might have been exposed earlier.
Sometimes life really has coincidences everywhere.
Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng discussed the matters of Shi Tian and Dark Soul.
Xiao Heng asked: “You believe Long Yi is Shi Tian?”
Gu Jiao pondered for a moment, then said: “If it was only the National Master saying this, I might not easily consider that Long Yi is involved, but last time I saw a painting from the third floor of the Book Pavilion, the boy in the painting looked very much like Long Yi.”
Xiao Heng was silent.
The third floor.
The biggest secrets of the National Master Hall, no, precisely speaking the entire Yan Country were there.
If the person in the painting indeed was Long Yi, then Long Yi would really have significant origins.
…
Fifteen minutes later, Gu Jiao was taken by Ye Qing to the third floor of the Book Pavilion.
The National Master granted her permission to read certain designated areas, the other places were still restricted.
She stared at the enormous bookshelf in front of her, nearly three meters high, and said stunned: “I just need to find the painting of Shi Tian, there’s no need for such a grand setup…”
Was this entire wall-reaching bookshelf for her to explore?
Ye Qing pointed to the shelf and said: “Here are the paintings of Shi Tian, and also Dark Soul.”
