The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

Chapter 230: Stay Away from the Abyss and Live Towards the Sun

Zhao Xuan looked like she was ready to go all out, and the Little Doctor Fairy looked so familiar to her.

When she treated Zhao Xuan's injuries in Jiaoyang Valley, she already knew Zhao Xuan's true identity. Later, she often observed her secretly and understood Zhao Xuan better than others.

In the past, she was willing to sacrifice one of her arms to save the people of Jiaoyang Valley. Now, in order to properly resolve the issue of Tian Shiliu and avoid causing disputes between the two countries, she is willing to sacrifice her life.

"Xuan'er, tell me the truth, do you want to go to Yue State alone? Aren't you afraid of Tian Shang?"

Wow, her thoughts were guessed by Sister Xiao Yixian. Was she so obvious in her expression?

Zhao Xuan didn't feel embarrassed. She smiled and stretched out her hand towards the Little Medical Fairy in a playful manner.

"Then please prepare some drugs, poisons, aphrodisiacs, etc. for me, so I can use them to deal with Tian Shang!"

Xiao Yixiang agreed with this request and thought it would not be a problem to prepare another set like the one she gave to Hu Dashi last time.

Xiao Yixian knew that it was futile to persuade Zhao Xuan at this time, so she simply used one finger to poke Zhao Xuan's forehead.

"I feel like I've become a bad person since I met you!"

Zhao Xuan suddenly stopped smiling. After thinking about it for the past two days, she felt that there were some things she needed to explain to Xiao Yixian.

Zhao Xuan took Xiao Yixian's hand and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Sister, I have two things to do before going to Yue Country. One is to visit my father in Qingshan Valley, and the other is to meet Aunt Lan."

Xiao Yixian is always cold and aloof towards others in terms of worldly affairs, but she cares deeply about her brothers and sisters and understands them very quickly.

After hearing Zhao Xuan talk about these two things, and thinking back to how Zhao Xuan had asked her to drug Gu Zhanghua before leaving, she immediately guessed what Zhao Xuan was thinking.

A trace of worry crossed her face.

"Do you have a bad feeling that this trip might not be a return trip?"

Zhao Xuan did not hide it from Xiao Yixiang.

"It's a 50-50 chance of life or death. The virtuous king and queen of Xia State went to Yue State to celebrate the Emperor's ascension to the throne. The Emperor of Yue dare not openly do anything against us."

But I’m afraid that Tian Shang will do something shady, and it’s hard to guard against him.

Xiao Yixian understood it clearly. Zhao Xuan wanted to fulfill her wish before leaving so that she could go into battle without any regrets.

In her heart, she did not approve of Zhao Xuan's decision to take the risk alone, but she was always a man of few words and a man of action.

"Don't worry, I will take time to visit your father, and I will also find a way to take care of your Aunt Lan."

Zhao Xuan hugged Xiao Yixian's arm and rubbed her head on her shoulder.

"I know my sister is the best to me!"

In the study of Prince Xian's mansion.

Gu Li had already come incognito with his two sons to meet Tian Yuan.

They did not alarm anyone, not even Zhao Xuan. Hu Junfeng and Shishu were guarding the study door, so it was very safe.

Gu Li helped Tian Yuan up as he saluted him. After saying a lot of words, he just patted Tian Yuan's shoulder gently as he had done before.

The four of them sat down as host and guest.

Gu Li looked at the man sitting opposite him, and a handsome young man emerged in his mind, talking to him eloquently. Now he has become so miserable, emaciated, and no longer has the charm of the past.

The comparison between the two is even more heartbreaking.

Gu Li asked Tian Yuan directly.

"What kind of life do you want from now on?"

Tian Yuan didn't expect that Emperor Xia would come in person to plan for his future, and he blurted out the plan he had already thought of in his mind.

He originally wanted to call Gu Li "Your Majesty", but then he thought about it and changed to a more appropriate title.

He was suspected of being shameless and trying to get close to others, and he admitted it!

But what he wanted more was to get a bit of the long-lost family affection from Emperor Xia.

"Shibo!"

Tian Yuan felt a little sad when he shouted these two words. A lot of his blood relatives in Yue Kingdom watched him die without helping him, and yet he still came to Xia Kingdom to beg the Emperor of Xia for a way to survive.

His life is so sad and ridiculous.

He saw a hint of surprise flash across Emperor Xia's face when he heard the title "Uncle", and then he gave him a gentle look.

Tian Yuan calmed himself down and continued speaking.

"My nephew wants a new identity. From now on, I want to be an ordinary citizen in Xia Country. Under your blessing, I can live a peaceful life in anonymity!"

Gu Li immediately understood Tian Yuan’s thoughts.

I don't plan to seek revenge, I don't plan to make a comeback, I just want to live a good life.

Yes, it is not easy to live a peaceful and smooth life.

The true meaning of life is to struggle. Either you are tormented by others unintentionally, or you torment yourself because of your own frustration, or you torment others because of your unwillingness to give up.

Tian Yuan has been tormented for half his life, but he can still be so open-minded. It seems that he has put aside all the grudges long ago.

"Okay, I promise you."

Tian Yuan looked at Gu Li and continued speaking in one breath, obviously having been thinking for a long time.

"I know that the virtuous prince and his wife will face many dangers on their journey to Yue State. Why not use my head to set a trap?"

When Gu Jiancheng heard what Tian Yuan said, he understood what he meant. Since he was in charge of the Ministry of Justice, he could find a death row prisoner who looked like Tian Yuan to replace him, take his head and let his fifth brother and his wife take it to Tian Shang.

On the one hand, it can cut off Tian Shang's idea of ​​continuing to hunt down Tian Yuan. Now that everyone is dead, the matter is over and Tian Yuan's own safety is guaranteed.

Secondly, it can be said that it helped Tian Shang a lot and prevented future troubles. This pomegranate is not the same as that pomegranate, and it can also turn a big problem into a small one.

All in all, it can be summed up in three words: "a letter of surrender".

I helped you kill the person you feared the most, so at least you should give me a good face, right?

Gu Jiancheng felt that this plan was the best of both worlds and was also simple to implement.

"Father, I think this plan is feasible. It can guarantee Brother Tian's safety and make the Emperor of Yue do us a favor."

Gu Zhanghua also nodded slightly. As long as it could add another layer of security to Sister Xuan's safety, he had no objection.

Of course Gu Li understood what Tian Yuan meant. He could think of what Gu Jiancheng could think of, but Gu Li shook his head and said something in a firm tone.

"This plan is inappropriate!"

The three of them looked at Gu Li in confusion.

Gu Li's idea was very simple, without any twists and turns. He leaned forward and looked at Tian Yuan seriously.

"My child, you are already suffering enough in this desperate situation. Do you still want the world to know that you were eventually killed by the Xia people and your head was presented to your enemies in this life?"

If Gu Li agreed to do so, it would further prove that Tian Yuan's act of forcing the emperor to abdicate was an unforgivable crime, and it would be only natural for the Emperor of Yue to send people to hunt down Tian Yuan.

Not only did the Emperor of Yue want to get rid of him as soon as possible, even the Xia Kingdom had to endorse the Emperor of Yue. Tian Yuan deserved to die.

Since Chong Tianyuan was willing to call him "Uncle" sincerely, Gu Li couldn't bear to stab Tianyuan's bloody chest again.

Although Tian Yuan volunteered to take the knife, which would bring tangible benefits to his son and daughter-in-law, Gu Li still did not adopt it.

He prided himself on being a wise ruler, and his pride made him unwilling to trample on the dignity of others to benefit himself.

Yes, he disdains it!

Tian Shang could do such a thing, and perhaps Song Zhensheng could do it too, but he would never do it!

Gu Li stood up and looked at Tian Yuan who was in a daze.

"Child, everything will be as you wish, but not in the way you just mentioned. Just follow King Cheng's arrangements."

Gu Li patted Tian Yuan's shoulder again and walked out of the study with Gu Jiancheng and Gu Zhanghua.

The moment the door closed, the father and his two sons heard Tian Yuan suddenly burst into tears in the study.

In that cry, there is a hearty release of emotion, the feeling of being pitied and cared for, and the expression of one's true feelings without letting go of the past.

Gu Li sighed, hoping that the child would finally get his due and live a stable life in the future.

Gu Li left with his two sons.

After a while, the crying gradually stopped.

In the study, Tian Yuan knelt down towards the door and kowtowed three times with gratitude.

When he stood up, his face was still stained with tears, but his posture was as straight as a pine tree.

He understood that from now on, with the protection of Emperor Xia, he could let go of everything that had happened in the past.

Stay away from the abyss! Live towards the sun!
