The Emperor had a miserable time in his early years. His birth mother was just a palace maid, and although she was raised on the lap of Imperial Lady Jing, Imperial Lady Jing was also not a favored imperial woman.

His and Imperial Lady Jing’s days back then were challenging. After that, Imperial Lady Jing gave birth to a little princess and was promoted to Imperial Concubine Jing, so the situation of the mother and son became better.

But it didn't take long for him to become the target of his older brother, the Crown Prince, and the Liu Family. He didn't want to join the other side's camp and suffered a terrible blow from the other side as a result.

However, those blows only made him suffer from lack of food and clothing, to make him feel vexed, weak and timid, nothing more. No one had really ever whipped him on the head!

Old Marquis's whip was much more powerful than his son, Marquis Gu. First of all, he was stronger, and secondly, he had more experience, so every one of his lash was almost bone deep.

Therefore, the Emperor was stunned not only because of shocked, but also because his grand dragon skull was actually numb.

It wasn't until some warm liquid ran down his cheek that the Emperor finally realized that he seemed, seemed, seemed to be hurt!

"Your Majesty!"

Old Marquis was so scared that he threw away his whip!

Never in his dream did he expect that his whip would land on the Emperor!

Seeing Marquis Xuanping suddenly appear was enough to surprise him. It was too late to take back the whip, but Marquis Xuanping dodged in time, and he was secretly glad that he dodged it.

But now——

He shouldn’t have dodge it!

Marquis Xuanping, why on earth did you dodge it?

Did you forget that behind you was the Emperor?! Were you not walking ahead to make sure the way was safe for the Emperor? How could you push the Emperor into the pit instead?!

Old Marquis was truly furious. I might not be human sometimes, but Marquis Xuanping, you are a real dog!

Marquis Xuanping touched his nose and brazenly said, "Oh, how can it be Old Marquis? Are you trying to a.s.sa.s.sinate His Majesty? Your Majesty, this official was too slow in saving you."

Emperor: Right, you’re d.a.m.n fast at escaping!

After a brief sense of numbness, the Emperor felt a heart-p.r.i.c.king pain on his head. He was unable to continue standing up and sat down on the ground against the wall.

"Your Majesty!" Old Marquis plopped down on his knees and bowed nervously, "This official is guilty! This official has no intention of a.s.sa.s.sinating Your Majesty! This official also didn’t know that the whip would hit Your Majesty... "

Actually, Old Marquis had already resigned from his official position long ago, so he should have stopped referring to himself as ‘this official’, but he was actually still working for the Emperor in secret, and with what happened right now, he couldn’t be bothered pretending to call himself ‘this humble subject’.

Fortunately, Marquis Xuanping was an insider. Only, there were more than three of them at the scene.

Little San was completely dubfounded. The woman took advantage of the disorder and ran away. Gu Jiao, who resembled a small octopus, also came down from the wall.

Marquis Xuanping squinted his eyes. Wasn't this the little quack who stepped on his face and almost broke his back?

Gu Jiao also narrowed her eyes. Hehe, wasn't this the miser who only gave her a tiny silver after she treated him?

There was a smell of sparks in the air.

The Emperor also discovered Gu Jiao at this moment, and because he didn't want to expose his real ident.i.ty in front of Gu Jiao, he ignored the pain in his head and raised his sleeve as though blocking his wound.

However, the guilt-ridden Old Marquis kept calling him ‘Your Majesty’, saying that Your Majesty had lost a lot of blood, and that he deserved to die for harming Your Majesty.

Then, Marquis Xuanping dragged Gu Jiao over, "Aren't you a physician?"

Marquis Xuanping thought that although it was him who left His Majesty to be whipped by dodging fast, he now made amends by calling over a physician!

Thus, after Old Marquis and Marquis Xuanping, these two unreliable people, caused injury to the Emperor, they also caused the Emperor’s real ident.i.ty to be exposed.

The Emperor's blood was surging in anger. You two truly are dogs!

The Emperor's face was bloodstained, but it was still enough for Gu Jiao to recognize his appearance.

Gu Jiao crouched down and went ‘oh’, "Lord Chu?"

"What Lord Chu! This is His Majesty!" Old Marquis had no idea about the concealment of Qin Chuyu’s ident.i.ty while attending the Imperial Academy.

Gu Jiao raised an eyebrow, "Oh, so you are the Emperor, so Chu Yu is an imperial prince."

Emperor: It's over. My son’s real ident.i.ty is exposed too.

Old Marquis: I kinda feel that something is wrong here!

Gu Jiao went to Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing’s place today for a follow-up house visit, so she had her medicine chest with her. She asked Little San to go fetch her small medicine chest in the carriage.

Little San was so frightened that he lost his voice. He simply rushed into the carriage, took the small medicine chest and handed it to Gu Jiao.

How could Old Marquis still remember to bring Gu Jiao to the authorities? He said to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, it's cold on the ground. Please get into the carriage."

"The light is good here." Gu Jiao refused him, and without waiting for Old Marquis to tell her that he was talking to His Majesty and a little medical woman couldn’t just interrupt casually, Gu Jiao said to the Emperor, "Hands off."

It was a commanding tone.

The Emperor obediently took away his hand covering the wound, and his eyes were still a little aggrieved.

Old Marquis suspected that he had gone blind.

"You two, you're blocking the light." Gu Jiao told Old Marquis and Marquis Xuanping.

Marquis Xuanping didn't care about face. Being bossed about by a little medical woman, he wasn’t at all angry and simply moved aside gracefully.

Old Marquis, on the other hand, was somewhat dissatisfied with Gu Jiao's tone. First, he thought that this little medical woman already committed an act of lynching, and now, she was acting as though everyone else was beneath her.

The Emperor looked at Old Marquis coldly.

"...I understand."

Old Marquis also backed away several feet.

Gu Jiao dipped a cotton ball in saline and began to clean up the blood on the Emperor's face and head. In fact, the Emperor was also good-looking, but he was inferior in charm compared to Marquis Xuanping.

It was just that Marquis Xuanping was a stingy man!

Gu Jiao decisively decided that he would never treat him again no matter how handsome he was.

"Hiss——"

The lash was so heavy that the flesh was turned over.

The severe pain made the Emperor feel angry again.

Old Marquis knew he was wrong, so he knelt not far away and dared not get up.

Marquis Xuanping was also a little guilty in this matter. Forget it, the Emperor himself was sitting, and he couldn’t just stand there and let the Emperor look up at him, so he also came to Old Marquis’s side.

Old Marquis thought he was also going to kneel down to plead his guilt, so he kindly moved aside to make room for him. As a result, he saw Marquis Xuanping crouch down and begin to draw circles on the ground in boredom.

Old Marquis：“…”

Gu Jiao examined the wound on the Emperor’s head and said, "You need st.i.tches. I'll shave your hair first, and then give you some anesthetic."

Shave his hair? And it still needed st.i.tches?

The Emperor felt bad all over!

The moment Gu Jiao took out the blade, the Emperor's dragon body became restless in a visible manner. When she took out an anesthetic needle, the Emperor almost pa.s.sed out.

She p.r.i.c.ked the needle down.

The Emperor bit his sleeve and whined, "Wu~"

Gu Jiao: This familiar voice and action...

The Emperor was thoroughly exposed...

Gu Jiao calmly sewed up the Emperor’s wound and wrapped a bandage on his head, then said, "Pay attention to the drying and sanitation of the wound, and come to the medical hall tomorrow to change the dressing."

After telling these, Gu Jiao packed up her small medicine chest and medical consumables, and then held out her hand toward the Emperor.

"Treatment fee."

She said.

Why would the Emperor bring money with him when going out? In the past, it was Eunuch Wei who paid for everything, but he didn't bring Eunuch Wei out today.

That being the case, the Emperor turned his eyes to Marquis Xuanping who was crouching on the ground and drawing circles, and called in a cold voice, "Marquis Xuanping!"

"Your Majesty, you’ve called this official?" Marquis Xuanping wasn’t the least bit embarra.s.sed being caught drawing circles. He rarely got embarra.s.sed. In this respect, he and Gu Jiao were of the same kind.

Marquis Xuanping stood up, slowly came to the Emperor's side... and got down on one knee.

A small kneeling gesture done in a calm and elegant manner. No matter what this man did was always pleasing to the eye.

Unfortunately, the Emperor wasn’t someone to give special treatment to good-looking people. He said, "Pay her up."

Marquis Xuanping glanced at Gu Jiao, pulled out his purse helplessly, and poured out a few silver ingots and silver ovule ingots in his palm.

Not surprisingly, he picked up the smallest one from among the silver pieces and put it in the palm of Gu Jiao's hand.

The Emperor's eyes were so cold it almost reached the freezing point, "Is Zhen’s dragon body worth only that much money?"

Marquis Xuanping painfully picked out the second smallest silver ovule ingot and also put it in Gu Jiao's palm. They thought he was giving her two pieces, only for him to take the smallest one back.

Emperor: "..."

Gu Jiao：“…”

The Emperor was so furious that he grabbed all his money and gave everything to Gu Jiao.

After getting the treatment fee, Gu Jiao left in her carriage.

It wasn't until the carriage was far away that the Emperor came to his senses and frowned at Old Marquis, "Who were you whipping just now?"

Old Marquis told him the story of Gu Jiao and the suspicious woman, "...This official was going to send them both to the authorities for a verdict."

The Emperor's face sank in an instant, and his expression was more terrible than when he was whipped by Old Marquis, "How can you be partial to others?"

Others? Was that girl one of them?

Old Marquis had a strong temper, and sometimes he didn’t know how to be flexible, or perhaps he just didn’t want to. He said seriously, "This official is not taking sides with anyone, but this kind of thing should be reported to the authorities anyway. How can we just let a little girl act arbitrarily regardless of the rules?"

The Emperor observed Old Marquis and suddenly realized something.

He didn't know she was his granddaughter, did he?

In fact, it wasn't just Old Marquis who didn't recognize his own granddaughter, Marquis Xuanping also failed to recognize Gu Jiao as his own daughter-in-law.
