Starting in Exile: Transmigrated as the Crown Prince's Lucky Little Wife

Chapter 70 Xiao Jingchuan and Gu Liuli are in love

While both countries were busily preparing for the investigation into Gu Liuli's background, Emperor Xiao Han of Nanzhao did not forget his original purpose for coming to Ningguta. He set about restoring the officials who had been falsely accused to their original positions one by one. These officials were deeply grateful to the emperor and expressed their willingness to serve Nanzhao wholeheartedly to repay the favor of clearing their names.

Meanwhile, Gu Hang's daughter, Gu Yue, upon hearing the news that Emperor Jiang Liushen of Xijing Kingdom was here, suddenly had a different thought in her mind.

Gu Yue was naturally beautiful and, relying on her looks, was arrogant and ambitious, always looking to curry favor with the powerful. Upon learning that a king was present, she felt her opportunity had arrived.

Gu Yue dressed herself up carefully, wearing gorgeous clothes and light makeup, exuding charm. After finding out where Jiang Liushen lived, she devised a plan to approach him. Taking advantage of a slight lapse in the guards' attention, she slipped into the courtyard where Jiang Liushen was temporarily staying.

At this moment, Jiang Liushen was lost in thought, feeling happy to have found his sister, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the door. Then the door was gently pushed open, and Gu Yuelian walked in with graceful steps and a swaying waist.

"Your Majesty, I am Gu Yue, a commoner. I apologize for disturbing you." Gu Yue said sweetly, her eyes full of affection.

Jiang Liushen frowned slightly, feeling annoyed by the sudden appearance of this woman. "Who are you? Why are you trespassing on my residence?"

Gu Yue, however, did not take it to heart. Instead, she moved closer and said, "Your Majesty, I have long admired Your Majesty's reputation. It is my great fortune to meet you today. I have long admired Your Majesty and wish to serve you." As she spoke, she reached out to tug at Jiang Liushen's sleeve.

Jiang Liushen's face darkened, and he took a step back, shouting sternly, "Insolence! Stop talking nonsense! How dare you seduce me! Guards, take this woman away!"

Hearing the commotion, the guards outside rushed in, grabbed Gu Yue, and dragged her out. Gu Yue struggled, still crying out, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this commoner truly loves you..."

This scene was witnessed by Xiao Han and Xiao Jingchuan, who had come to discuss the investigation with Jiang Liushen. Xiao Jingchuan frowned, his face full of disgust, "This Gu Yue actually did such a shameless thing."

Xiao Han, with a solemn expression, said to Jiang Liushen, "Emperor Jiang, I am truly sorry. Gu Yue's absurd behavior is due to the lack of discipline in our Nanzhao Kingdom."

Jiang Liushen waved his hand, "Emperor Xiao, there is no need to blame yourself. This was her personal behavior. I remember she is the daughter of my sister's adoptive father, right?"

At the same time, Gu Liuli's maid received the news and rushed towards her mistress's residence.

"Your Highness, I heard a rumor that Gu Yue tried to seduce the Emperor of Xijing and got thrown out!" the maid said, clutching her stomach, which ached from laughing.

Upon hearing this, a fierce glint flashed in Gu Liuli's eyes. Wanting to be her sister-in-law? She was dreaming!

"Your Highness, I've heard some shocking gossip! I heard that Miss Gu Yue from the Gu family, who is so arrogant, actually went and tried to seduce the Emperor of Xijing Kingdom. As a result, she was ruthlessly thrown out of the palace!" The little maid said, laughing so hard she was doubled over, her hands tightly covering her stomach, which ached from laughing.

Upon hearing this news, Gu Liuli, who was sitting to the side, instantly flashed a ruthless glint in her previously calm eyes. She sneered inwardly: "Hmph, Gu Yue actually dares to dream of becoming my sister-in-law! What a fool!"

The young maidservant was puzzled to see Gu Liuli so calm and showed no surprise. After all, before the truth was fully investigated and Gu Yue's true identity was confirmed, no one had revealed a word about this matter, except for the few people who witnessed it firsthand.

At this moment, Xiao Han looked at Jiang Liushen with a serious expression and solemnly said, "Now that things have gradually stabilized in Ningguta, I plan to bring Crown Princess Gu Liuli and Crown Prince Xiao Jingchuan back to our Nanzhao Kingdom. Firstly, Gu Liuli and the Crown Prince are deeply in love and will surely live a happier and more fulfilling life in Nanzhao Kingdom; secondly, regarding the mystery of Gu Liuli's background, I will announce it to all my subjects after we return to Nanzhao Kingdom!"

Upon hearing Xiao Han's words, Jiang Liushen frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly replied, "Emperor Xiao, in my opinion, it is best to keep Liuli's background a secret for the time being."

I still have some important matters to attend to. It will not be too late to announce them to the world after everything is arranged.

However, during this time, I humbly request that Emperor Xiao ensure Gu Liuli's absolute safety. If any unforeseen circumstances or danger arise, please inform me immediately.

At this moment, Xiao Jingchuan and Gu Liuli also learned of Xiao Han's thoughts. Xiao Jingchuan was naturally overjoyed, as he had long hoped to return to the Nanzhao Kingdom with Gu Liuli and stand together openly. "Father, I will certainly live up to your expectations and take good care of Liuli."

Gu Liuli, however, was conflicted. She longed to return to the Nanzhao Kingdom and be with Xiao Jingchuan forever, but she also looked forward to seeing her father, whom she had never met.

After a moment's thought, Gu Liuli stepped forward and said, "Father, Emperor Jiang, I thank you both for your concern. I will return to Nanzhao with the Crown Prince first, and make a decision after the matters in Xijing are settled!"

A crisp notification sound broke the long silence, and the system, which had been absent for a long time, finally reappeared. The familiar yet slightly unfamiliar mechanical voice rang out: "Host, this system is back!" The voice sounded even crisper and more pleasant than before, as if it had been revitalized after this upgrade.

Gu Liuli was overjoyed and quickly asked telepathically, "System, why did you disappear for so long before the update was completed? Tell me quickly, what new features have been added in this update?" She eagerly awaited the system's reply.

The system responded cheerfully, "Dear host, this upgrade brings quite a few surprises! The most noteworthy is the brand-new 'Background Insight' function. This function can help you quickly analyze various clues and mysteries related to your background. No matter what related items you come into contact with or what information you obtain, this system can accurately extract the most crucial elements from this complex data. In this way, it will be much easier for you to uncover the mystery of your background! In addition, we have also specially opened a module called 'Interpersonal Assistance.' It can deeply analyze the relationship network of the people around you and dig out potential connections that may provide strong support for solving the problems you are currently facing. How about that? Doesn't it sound great?"

Gu Liuli was overjoyed. These two new features were a godsend for her current search for her origins. "Can I use the 'Original Background Insight' feature now?"

"Of course, host. As long as you focus your attention on things related to your background, I can begin the analysis," the system replied quickly.

Gu Liuli looked down at the jade pendant she always wore and focused her mind. Instantly, the system's voice sounded in her mind: "Analyzing... The jade pendant is made of top-grade Hetian jade. The carving technique shows that it comes from the royal workshop of Xijing Kingdom. The pattern on the back of the jade pendant hides special marks, which seem to point to the royal relatives of Xijing Kingdom. Only the royal children have them."

Gu Liuli was both surprised and delighted, not expecting this new feature to be so powerful. "What about 'Interpersonal Assistance'? How do I use it?"

The system explained, "Host, you only need to think of a certain person in your mind, and I can analyze the connections around that person that might be helpful to you. For example, think of Xiao Jingchuan."

Gu Liuli silently recited Xiao Jingchuan's name in her mind as instructed. The system quickly replied, "Xiao Jingchuan has close relationships with many senior officials in the Nanzhao court. These people are exceptionally capable in intelligence gathering and resource mobilization, and may be able to lend you a helping hand."

Gu Liuli thought to herself, it seems that the system upgrade really does make a difference.
