Gu Jiao took Little Jing Kong directly to the medical hall.

”Young Miss Gu, a patient has come.” Little San came to the small courtyard to urge Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao just got Little Jing Kongʼs clothes out.

Little Jing Kong said obediently, ”JiaoJiao, you go to work, I can change my clothes by myself.”

Gu Jiao said, ”It may take a while.”

Little Jing Kong patted his chest, ”Itʼs fine, I can take care of myself! Iʼll do my homework after I change my clothes!”

How could there be such a very sensible child?

Gu Jiao smiled with understanding and stroked his little head, ”Okay, there are snacks on the table, eat if you are hungry.”

Little Jing Kong said adorably, ”Iʼll wait for JiaoJiao to eat with me!”

This child.

Gu Jiaoʼs heart was instantly melted by him.

Gu Jiao went to the consultation room.

She really thought it was a patient that came, but unexpectedly it was Eunuch Wei around the Emperor.

Eunuch Wei already knew about the Emperorʼs identity being exposed, but he still didnʼt know that Gu Jiao had also guessed that the Emperor might also be the venereal disease patient back in the county.

Of course, Gu Jiao herself would not say anything.

Eunuch Wei broke into a smile and said, ”Young Miss Gu, this old slave came here today because there is something this old slave want to confirm with you.”

Gu Jiao looked at him and asked, ”What is it?”

Eunuch Wei smiled dryly, ”Are you the only female physician in the medical hall...?”

”Yes.” Gu Jiao nodded her head.

Eunuch Wei secretly shouted in his heart, not good, it’s over. His Majestyʼs speculation came true. Indeed, what you’re afraid of will come and bite you. The child Yu Qinwang wants turns out to be problematic. Why did all of this have to fall on the little miracle physician’s head?

”What are you asking this for?” Gu Jiao sensed that something wasn’t right with Eunuch Wei.

Eunuch Wei sighed helplessly, ”Young Miss Gu, you... you’re in trouble!”

Eunuch Wei told Gu Jiao how Yu Qinwang asked the Emperor for his son. There was nothing to embellish. This story was already so big that no additional detail could make it any bigger.

It then dawned on Gu Jiao, ”I see.” No wonder he was such a big talker, saying that no one in the whole capital could prevent him from getting what he wanted. He turned out to be a prince from the State of Liang ah.

Eunuch Wei said in a serious tone, ”His Majesty is actually having a hard time as well, not because he covets the conditions they offered, but because it is about a father and son recognizing each other. It is only right and proper to not prevent him from bringing his own son back, don’t you think so too, Young Miss Gu?”

Gu Jiaoʼs eyes cooled, ”He’s his son just because he said so?”

Eunuch Wei responded, ”Isnʼt this obvious?”

With Yu Qinwangʼs status, it was very easy to point to a deer and call it a horse, let alone identify a son.

There was no need to talk about evidence at all.

He already offered the most powerful evidence— the terms of the peace talks. From the civil and military officials to the common people of the State of Zhao, there was no one who wouldn’t believe and agree.

This was the benefit of absolute power.

A single person, no matter how strong they were, was still an individual, but behind Yu Qinwang was a whole powerful country.

Eunuch Wei sighed, ”Young Miss Gu, please donʼt blame His Majesty. His Majesty canʼt help it either. He canʼt stop a father from bringing back his own son.”

”I know.” Gu Jiao nodded lightly, stood up, and without another word, pulled open the door of the consultation room and walked out.

Little Jing Kong had already changed into his bright and clean everyday clothes and was sitting at the small wooden table in the courtyard doing his homework.

His little body was sitting upright and he looked extremely serious.

On the table was a box of freshly baked snacks, the aroma of which filled the whole courtyard. It was his favorite osmanthus cake with jujube paste.

But he didn’t take a single bite. He was waiting for JiaoJiao so they could eat together.

……

Since Old Marquis returned to the estate, Gu Chengfeng hadnʼt gone out to stir up any troubles for a while.

Today Old Marquis went out to meet some friends, and Gu Chengfeng also seized the opportunity to go out and take a small task to earn back his private money that Gu Chenglin had wrecked.

The new mask he had made last time was robbed by Gu Jiao, so he had a new one made.

The half-face mask with peacock feathers and obsidian inlays was stylish and coquettish.

Gu Chengfeng was extremely satisfied with the new mask. Today was another happy day!

Just as Gu Chengfeng looked into the bronze mirror and raised his hand to put the mask on, a small black shadow suddenly appeared in the bronze mirror, making Gu Chengfeng so scared that all his hair stood up, ”Ahh!”

The little black shadow looked at the new mask and hooked her lips wickedly.

Overlord Gu Jiao snatched the peacock mask, threw away the old mask on her face and tried on her new mask.

”En, it looks good.”

Gu Jiao was very satisfied.

Gu Chengfeng: Of course it looks good! You don’t know just how much money I spent on that custom-made mask!

”What are you doing here?” Gu Chengfeng looked at Gu Jiao with a disgusted face.

This girl was really getting more and more outrageous. What did she take his courtyard for? A vegetable garden where she could come and go whenever she liked!?

Gu Jiao looked in the mirror and admired the new mask on her face while saying, ”Do you not have any job to take? I have one for you.”

Gu Chengfeng remembered the last time he did a task for her where he risked his life to break into the examination compound to tamper with the exam papers, only to receive one copper coin. He decisively said, ”Not interested!”

”The remuneration is very high.” Gu Jiao looked at him through the bronze mirror.

Hehehe, only ghosts would believe you.

Gu Chengfeng rolled his eyes, ”Still not interested.”

Gu Jiao thought carefully then pulled out a silver banknote.

Gu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes. He was a little surprised and tempted, but remained calm as he said, ”One hundred taels is not enough.”

Gu Jiao took out another silver banknote.

Gu Chengfeng spread out five fingers, ”At least this amount.”

”Alright.” Gu Jiao was especially cooperative and took out three more silver banknotes.

When did this girl become easy to talk to?

Gu Chengfeng, who had been squeezed dry a lot of times that it almost became a habit, could not believe this was happening for real. He held the silver banknotes in his hand and turned them over and over to make sure they were not fake before looking at her oddly, ”Youʼre not going to ask me to kill someone, are you?”

Gu Jiao tilted her head as she looked at him, ”Hm... is that okay?”

Gu Chengfeng blew his top, ”Of course not!”

He was a great thief, not a gangster. He stole things but never killed people. Except, of course, if the other party wanted to kill him first.

In short, he would not take assassination missions.

Gu Jiao spread her hands, ”That’s fine, then.”

Gu Chengfengʼs heart felt even more nervous. He always felt that nothing good happened whenever he met this girl, ”So what do you really want me to do?”

Gu Jiao: ”Steal something.”

When Yu Qinwang and Qinwangfei dropped by for a discussion, they didnʼt mention what exactly happened at the beginning, but Eunuch Wei said it in passing when he came over to ask questions—— Yu Qinwangfei gave birth to a baby boy, who died shortly after birth, and then Yu Qinwang found a coffin to bury the child.

Eunuch Wei said that there were two stories at that time, one was that the baby died after birth, and the other said that it was a stillbirth.

It was, after all, a sad event, so not many people knew about it, just a few from the imperial family.
