Chapter 1464: 714 Second Watch_2

Qun Xuan sat down beside him, “A single eagle is nothing to fear, the pressing matter is to consider why there was a leak regarding the Crown Prince’s side. The Crown Prince wouldn’t want you to fail, so it couldn’t have been his own doing. It’s either someone under him being careless or acting with intent, and if it’s the latter, you and the Crown Prince must be vigilant.”

Han Ye clenched his fist, “There is a traitor among the Crown Prince’s people!”

Qun Xuan said, “That’s a very likely possibility, you’d best have the Crown Prince investigate those close to him.”

Han Ye spoke in a low voice, “I understand, thank you, Master. Uncle is gone, you will have to work harder from now on.”

Qun Xuan said, “I have no hardship, the hardship is on your Han Family. This incident won’t be over just because Han Yong admitted his guilt and was executed. Your third uncle has been dismissed from his post, and the new iron mine that your family head just took over has also been forcibly handed over. I heard that both the Nangong and Mu Families are eyeing the Hei Fengqi; you’d better be careful.”

Han Ye laughed at himself, “Ridiculous, just yesterday the Han Family was debating how to divide the Nangong Family’s military power, and today the Han Family’s Hei Fengqi has become the fish on the chopping block.”

Qun Xuan glanced at him, “Things haven’t reached that bad a point yet, but if you make another mistake, it could be tough to say.”

…

Imperial Palace.

The monarch finally learned of his baldness after severely reprimanding the head of the Han Family and dealing with the second son of the Han Family.

Everyone had seen it, but nobody dared to speak out.

After all, aside from the coach driver and Zhang Dequan, they didn’t know how the monarch went bald. Isn’t this a mad king? When he went mad, even his own hair was not spared, what else is there to find strange?

It was because the Little Princess was going to school, came to ask her uncle to send her off, and then discovered that her uncle had turned into a monk.

She widened her innocent almond eyes, her little mouth agape for ages, “Uncle, are you becoming a monk?”

The monarch was stunned, he said no, and the Little Princess, “Then why your hair–”

The monarch touched his head and completely freaked out!

The monarch’s hair wasn’t truly bald like a monk’s; there were still a few strands.

Three strands, to be exact, and not a strand more.

The monarch was livid with rage!

Thinking about the series of events that evening, he couldn’t believe that Shangguan Yun hadn’t intentionally lured him out.

The Han Family deserves to die, and Shangguan Yun, this disastrous scoundrel, cannot be let off lightly!

The monarch ordered the Little Princess to be taken away, drew the Treasure Sword from the rack, and with furious eyes declared, “Where is Shangguan Yun? I want to kill her!”

Zhang Dequan stammered, “After Shangguan Yun left the palace… she hasn’t returned…”

Could she return?

With the matter exposed, and you in a raging mood, how could she not go out and hide?

Actually, the Princess was quite troublesome as a child, but back then, all the sons of the Xuanyuan Family were still around, so the Princess didn’t just trouble the monarch alone, the burden of the Princess’s antics was shared by everyone, which made her seem not so mischievous.

Of course, this time it really isn’t a matter of being mischievous or not; the Princess has truly stepped on the lion’s tail.

The monarch’s fury wouldn’t subside in a short while; it remains to be seen whether the Princess could avoid it while outside.

The monarch trembled with rage, shouting, “Search for her! Dig three feet into the ground if you must, but find her for me!”

…

Gu Jiao hadn’t been to the Academy for several days.

This morning, Gu Jiao removed the stitches for Gu Yan, she had sutured so well that there was only a fine line that was almost invisible left behind.

To prevent hypertrophic scarring, Gu Jiao took out a jar of the most expensive scar ointment from the first aid kit.

Speaking of which, such scar ointment didn’t exist before.

“You can apply it after five more days.” Gu Jiao handed the scar ointment to Gu Yan, “Let me know promptly if you feel any discomfort these next few days, and don’t scratch the wound.”

“Got it,” Gu Yan replied, “You should hurry to the Academy, you’re going to be late.”

“Alright.” Gu Jiao called for Gu Xiaoshun, and together they headed to the Tianqiong Academy.

Gu Yan happily went to the backyard to brush Black Wind King.

Gu Jiao and Gu Xiaoshun went their separate ways to Mingxin Hall and Mingyue Hall respectively.

The people at Mingxin Hall all knew that Gu Jiao had asked for leave to accompany Gu Yan to the National Master Hall for surgery, they were unaware that Gu Jiao was the chief surgeon, and thought it was the National Master who had treated Gu Yan; they all felt that Gu Yan was very lucky.

Mu Qingchen did not come.

Gu Jiao sat alone in the back row.

The people all gathered around.

“How was the surgery? Was it successful?” Zhou Tong from the front row asked.

“Yes, sixth brother, how did Gu Yan’s surgery go?” Zhong Ding also asked anxiously.

Although Gu Yan had never attended classes, he had visited the cuju field, so quite a few people had seen him.
