The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

Chapter 307: Welcome the Princess Back Home

Time flies like an arrow.

A month ago, Zhao Xuan and Huang Shuo left the Xianwang Mansion and went to Qingshan Valley to pay tribute to Zhao Xiaoman. They then went to Mingshan Village and Jing'an Mansion to investigate a case. When they came back, spring was in full swing and flowers were in full bloom.

Zhao Xuan sniffed the fragrance of flowers in the air and jumped off the carriage. When she saw the plaque of Prince Xian's Mansion, she was actually a little excited for a moment.

Xiaowu, I'm back. Are you okay? Is everyone in the mansion okay?

When the guard at the door saw Zhao Xuan, he was stunned for a moment, and then became ecstatic.

"Princess! Are you back?"

Before Zhao Xuan could reply, the guard turned around and ran into the palace, shouting loudly as he ran.

"The princess is back! The princess is back!"

Zhao Xuan burst out laughing. When did their guards become so unruly?

In the Xianwang Mansion, everyone heard the guards' shouts, put down their work, and rushed to the door from all directions.

At this time, Gu Zhanghua was discussing with Xiao Yixian in the mansion whether to send Shishu out to investigate. Zhao Xuan and Huang Shuo had been away for more than a month and had not sent back any news. Gu Zhanghua was already anxious.

Suddenly, Gu Zhanghua vaguely heard the guards shouting and wondered if he had misheard. Was Sister Xuan back?

Chunlan came in trotting to report, her face full of joy.

"Prince! Little Medical Fairy! The princess is back!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhanghua's worry turned into joy. He ran out of the house and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The Little Medical Fairy was as steady as a rock, still sitting there unhurriedly, drinking tea. Chunlan, who was about to chase after her, stopped, turned around and looked at the Little Medical Fairy in confusion.

"Xiao Yixian, aren't you going to see the princess? Everyone is going!"

"They're a newlywed couple, why should I join in the fun?"

Little Medical Fairy said calmly.

When Chunlan heard what Xiao Yixian said, she suddenly realized what was going on. She turned around and changed direction, heading towards the kitchen.

"Yeah, then I'll go to the kitchen and help prepare dinner!"

Gu Zhanghua walked through the moon gate with joy and saw Zhao Xuan hurriedly walking towards him. When they saw each other, they smiled knowingly.

Gu Zhanghua's mind and eyes were filled with Zhao Xuan's figure. He rushed towards Zhao Xuan in an instant, stretched out his arms towards her, and wanted to give her a big hug.

At this moment, Qing'e suddenly appeared from nowhere, rushed to Zhao Xuan one step ahead, knelt down with a plop, and hugged Zhao Xuan's thighs.

"Princess! You are back!" Qing'e burst into tears, "Your servant has been waiting for you..."

Gu Zhanghua was almost tripped by Qing'e who was blocking his way. He stumbled, but fortunately his horse stance had already shown some results. He hurriedly steadied himself and looked at Qing'e at his feet in disbelief.

Zhao Xuan looked at Gu Zhanghua's embarrassed appearance with amusement, winked at him mischievously, and reached out to help Qing'e up.

She saw Qing'e's face covered with tears and was full of suspicion.

"Why are you crying as soon as you see me? What happened? Who bullied you?"

Qing'e was so excited that she grabbed Zhao Xuan's hand and choked with sobs.

"Princess, my mother's illness is completely healed! She was completely cured by the Little Medical Fairy!"

As she spoke, Qing'e began to wipe her tears again, crying and laughing.

Only then did Zhao Xuan realize that Qing'e was crying with joy.

Back then, Qing'e was Concubine Shu's confidant and was sent to monitor her. At that time, Zhao Xuan was still using the identity of Princess Tian Shiliu of Yue State and was trapped in Prince Xian's mansion, unable to display her abilities.

The Tiandao League is hunting them down from the outside world, and the mansion has to deal with Gu Zhanghua's suspicion all the time. There is no hope of solving the case, so they can only proceed step by step.

The relationship between Zhao Xuan and her mother-in-law, Concubine Shu, was extremely tense and a mess. Qing'e's arrival made Zhao Xuan's situation even worse.

Later, in order to completely conquer Qing'e, Zhao Xuan found out Qing'e's weakness, which was that her mother was terminally ill. Zhao Xuan decided to take Qing'e's mother to the Xianwang Mansion and let the Little Medical Fairy treat her carefully.

It has been almost two years now. The Little Medical Fairy is indeed reliable and cured Qing'e's mother's illness.

Now everyone in the Xianwang Mansion is united, her relationship with her mother-in-law has been reconciled, her master's injustice has been redressed, and her true identity no longer needs to be deliberately concealed. Everyone who should know knows it.

She also gained a lot of friendships and family love, and she became close friends with Gu Zhanghua.

Past events flooded back into Zhao Xuan's mind. She was happy for Qing'e, and was also grateful for her own hard-earned happiness. She was grateful to all those who had helped her.

Zhao Xuan wiped away Qing'e's tears, raised the corners of her lips, and said with a smile:

"Good! Stop crying! Bring your mother with you tonight and have a big dinner at our house!"

Gu Zhanghua stood by and waited patiently, waiting for Zhao Xuan to comfort Qing'e so that he could talk to Sister Xuan about the feelings of separation after so many days.

But before Qing'e could leave, people from the mansion came one after another, asking Zhao Xuan about her well-being and surrounding her in an instant.

Gu Zhanghua was pushed aside, unable to even touch the corner of Zhao Xuan's clothes. He couldn't help but laugh and cry. Did this prince treat him like air? Did he have no face?

Huang Shuo walked slowly to Gu Zhanghua, bumped Gu Zhanghua with his shoulder, and looked at his daughter who was surrounded by people, with a look of pride.

"Look, my daughter has become everyone's favorite, and even you, the prince, have to stand aside. Aren't you jealous?"

"I'm so happy, why should I be jealous?"

Huang Shuo turned around, glanced at Gu Zhanghua, and laughed.

"It looks like this welcome ceremony won't be over for a while, and you're just an eyesore standing here. How about going with me for some tea?"

Huang Shuo gave Gu Zhanghua some advice in a very friendly way.

Gu Zhanghua was slightly stunned, then laughed.

As expected, human joys and sorrows are not the same. He was not jealous of Zhao Xuan becoming the group's favorite, but his father-in-law was a little worried. He returned home with Zhao Xuan and became a transparent person.

"Dad, Miss Xueyan has left the house to go to the embroidery workshop. She should be back by dinner time."

Gu Zhanghua said sympathetically.

"Why mention her? I didn't ask you."

Huang Shuo's old face turned red, and the depression in his heart disappeared in an instant. If Xueyan were here, she would definitely care about him.

Huang Shuo immediately raised his head proudly and walked towards the backyard with a swagger.

At Zhao Xuan's suggestion, the first dinner after returning home was the same as the night Zhao Xuan first entered the Xianwang Mansion. Everyone set up several tables of banquets in the courtyard, and the whole mansion was in a lively atmosphere, having a reunion dinner together.

During the meal, Zhao Xuan accidentally saw that Tian Xueyan was a little depressed, and she often secretly glanced at Huang Shuo with a rather resentful look in her eyes.

But Huang Shuo raised his glass with everyone and drank happily, and did not notice anything unusual about Tian Xueyan.

Zhao Xuan couldn't help but sigh, and Gu Zhanghua, who was sitting next to Zhao Xuan, immediately asked in a low voice.

"Everyone is very happy, why are you sighing?"

"As a daughter, I'm worried sick because it seems like it will take forever to assist.

Zhao Xuan muttered something.

"Assist? Assist what?"

Gu Zhanghua was confused and asked back.

"Just watch it!"

Zhao Xuan shouted loudly to Tian Xueyan who was sitting opposite her.

"Xueyan! The sachet you gave me is so beautiful. We met a couple on the road. The young lady took a fancy to the sachet hanging on my father's waist and insisted on buying it at a high price. My father was so scared that he quickly hid the sachet!

So, I took out the sachet you gave me and sold it to the young lady, making a killing! Dad, am I right?

Huang Shuo was a little bewildered. How could the village chief's wife, already an old lady, suddenly become a young lady? But he still cooperated with Zhao Xuan, took out the sachet from his bosom, and hung it around his waist.

"Xuan'er is right. Fortunately, I was quick to save the sachet."

Tian Xueyan's face suddenly lit up with joy, her teeth showing and her eyes invisible.

"Princess, just sell them! I made a few new ones, why don't you sell them all?"

"You are really pushing your luck. Do you really treat me, the princess, as a peddler?"

Zhao Xuan teased.

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Zhao Xuan looked at the tablecloth on the table again. The pure white cotton cloth was embroidered with various flowers and plants. It was obviously the work of Tian Xueyan.

Zhao Xuan immediately pretended to be very surprised and stared at the flowers and plants carefully.

"Oh my! When did our house become so extravagant? We even have such a beautiful tablecloth for a meal?"

"Yes, I hadn't noticed it before you mentioned it, housekeeper. These tablecloths must be very expensive, right?"

At this time, Gu Zhanghua had completely understood what Zhao Xuan meant by "assist". It was just the basic skills of a matchmaker, so he immediately added support.

The housekeeper was gnawing on a big pork elbow, her mouth full of oil, and she was laughing very loudly.

"No need to spend money, they were all embroidered by Miss Xueyan. Princess, go back to your room later and see that the pillows, quilts, and bed curtains have all been replaced! You really hired a good embroiderer, not only is she clever and skillful, but she's also very hardworking!"

Tian Xueyan lowered her head shyly and glanced at Huang Shuo who was sitting next to her.

"Brother Huang, you've also got new ones in your room. They were all embroidered by me."

Surprised? Unexpected?

Huang Shuo quietly held Tian Xueyan's hand under the table.

His face remained calm.
