Gu Changqing could see through these facts but would never lay them bare, "It's my sister's request, so I really have to trouble Lord Hu."

This shizi really never forgot to mention his sister every three sentences. Was he always this affectionate?

Was it because she grew up in the countryside and he hadn’t seen her for a long time?

Gu Changqing was notoriously known as the iron-faced Yama in the military camp. He had never heard him mention any family members from his mouth, including his two blood younger brothers as well as that famous Marquis Estate’s daughter.

He had the impression that he didn't like his younger siblings at all, but looking at the way his eyes softened when he mentioned his younger sister today, that didn’t seem to be the case.

Deputy General Hu rubbed his nose.

He really seemed to have seen a ghost today.

But, for the Commandant who never made friends with anyone to take the initiative to come to him, it really greatly flattered Deputy General Hu. What happened today was tantamount to Gu Changqing owing him a favor.

As for the Fast Cavalry Great General, he already came up with a proper excuse to tell him.

The next day, Zhou Erzhuang took his luggage and went to the medical hall.

"Excuse me, is Lady Gu Jiao there?"

He asked Shopkeeper w.a.n.g.

Shopkeeper w.a.n.g turned his head to Gu Jiao, who was inspecting the medicine cabinet, and said, "Gu girl, someone is looking for you!"

"These herbs are a little damp, take them out to bask in the sun." Gu Jiao told the medicine boy before turning and walking towards the counter. "Who wants to see me?"

Shopkeeper w.a.n.g pointed to Zhou Erzhuang.

Zhou Erzhuang looked at Gu Jiao dumbfounded.

This, this, this... This is... that Lady Jiao?

She was different from what he remembered!

Even though Xue Ningxiang repeatedly emphasized in her letters that Gu Jiao's mental illness was already cured and that she was now a normal girl, Zhou Erzhuang still couldn’t put the young girl in front of him and the little silly girl in his memory together.

Such... Such a big difference.

If there were any features that hadn’t changed, it was probably the birthmark on her face.

“Zhou Erzhuang?” Gu Jiao guessed the ident.i.ty of the other party.

"Ah, yes! I am Erzhuang!" Zhou Erzhuang regained his senses awkwardly. He had more or less learned etiquettes by following Deputy General Hu, and it was a very rude thing to stare at people like that.

Gu Jiao didn't mind it. She looked at the baggage on his back and asked, "Are you leaving?"

Zhou Erzhuang replied, "Yes, Deputy General Hu had a task a.s.signed to me which happened to be to send a letter to Military Governor Lu in You Province. Deputy General Hu wants me to deliver it to Military Governor Lu personally, and then I am allowed to go home after delivering the letter."

Sounds like a good idea.

Rather than taking a leave of absence, taking a trip home while carrying out a mission sounded better.

Gu Jiao had no idea that this was the result of Gu Changqing's efforts. She said to Zhou Erzhuang, "Wait a moment, I have some things that you need to take back."

"All right!"

Gu Jiao went to her small courtyard and took out a large bundle, explaining to him what was for Xue Ningxiang, what was for Dean Li, and what was for Village Chief Luo.

Finally, she gave Zhou Erzhuang a bag of money.

Zhou Erzhuang hurriedly refused, "You usually give me this and that, which is enough! I can't take your money anymore! Besides, this time I will be out for a mission so Deputy General Hu gave me money!"

And it was also a lot.

This was also thanks to Gu Changqing, but Deputy General Hu didn't let him know.

He insisted on not accepting it, and Gu Jiao didn't force it either, "Alright, be careful on your journey."

"Aye! Then I'll be on my way!"

Zhou Erzhuang was suddenly glad that he had never bullied Lady Jiao when they were kids, so meeting her again was a very nice experience. It was also... quite unexpected.

Having gone far, Zhou Erzhuang couldn’t help but look back.

……

The Imperial Academy didn’t have a holiday these days, but the examinees who were about to take the palace exam basically didn’t go to cla.s.s. They were either at home or in their dorm to cultivate their mind and body.

The palace exam didn’t have much content, only one or two exams, which would not be more difficult than the previous exams. It mainly depended on the faction struggle as well as the Emperor's preference.

At this point, everyone was basically aware of their own strength, and there wasn’t much point in cramming at the last moments. It was better to relax a little more and maintain a good state.

Xiao Liulang didn't go to the Imperial Academy either. Only when Little Jing Kong finished school would he go there to pick up someone.

This afternoon, the elementary school had a Cuju cla.s.s, and a small Cuju game was conducted which dragged on for a while. When Little Jing Kong came out, it was already a little dark.

Xiao Liulang looked at the little guy's sweaty appearance and gave him a handkerchief in disgust, "Wipe yourself."

Little Jing Kong pouted, "JiaoJiao helps me dry my sweat every time!"

Xiao Liulang：“…”

Xiao Liulang: "Wipe yourself."

Little Jing Kong said, "I'm tired, so tired!"

Fine, since you’re tired.

Xiao Liulang raised an eyebrow, picked up the little guy and wiped his sweat.

After that, one big and one small started walking back home.

Coincidentally, the carriage from the palace used to pick up Qin Chuyu also arrived at that moment.

The curtain was lifted, and a beautiful figure stepped down from the carriage. Who was it if not the Crown Princess?

The Crown Princess usually didn’t get off the carriage, but she felt stuffy today and so decided to go down to get some air. Unexpectedly, she met Xiao Liulang face to face.

Xiao Liulang wasn’t wearing the Imperial Academy uniform, but a simple yet elegant white robe.

The Crown Princess was stunned.

The Crown Princess once saw Xiao Liulang from a distance in a carriage, which was a completely different feeling from seeing him up close.

At that time, it was just a side profile which still wasn’t very vivid, but now she was facing him completely.

For a moment, it was as if she saw the Little Marquis of Zhao once again, except that he seemed more handsome, with a mixture of a youthful and restrained temperament belonging to someone between a teenager and an adult man.

One glance and you wouldn’t be able to look away.

The two court ladies were also dazed, seemingly amazed by Xiao Liulang's appearance.

But soon, all three of them noticed Little Jing Kong beside Xiao Liulang.

The Crown Princess had met Little Jing Kong, who beat up the son of the State of Liang’s Yu Qinw.a.n.g together with Qin Chuyu and Xu Zhouzhou, the son of the minister of the Ministry of War.

They heard he was a commoner.

Was he related to this person?

Was this person really just someone who looked like Little Marquis?

Little Jing Kong was on the other side of Xiao Liulang, and was blocked by Xiao Liulang from seeing the Crown Princess.

It was as though Xiao Liulang didn't notice them as he took Little Jing Kong by the hand and walked past the Crown Princess without looking sideways.

The Crown Princess's gaze chased after him. She turned around and looked at his back as he walked away with his crutch. Suddenly, she asked the court lady beside her, "Who did you say picked up the child last time?"

The court lady leaned over and answered, "Answering the Crown Princess, it's Marquis Xuanping."
