When Gu Lili pulled her hand out of her sleeve, she had a tranquilizer gun.
Before the people behind her could notice, Gu Lili pulled out a tranquilizer gun and fired it without hesitation.
Gu Lili vaguely noticed out of the corner of her eye that a black shadow had been following them all the way.
Even now, in the alley, they dare to follow so brazenly.
Is this some kind of death wish?
So, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one else behind her, Gu Lili made her move without hesitation.
The person behind her reacted even faster than Gu Lili had imagined. Before the needle even reached her, he darted over the wall to hide.
"What's wrong, Lili?" Li Ershu asked hurriedly.
He seemed to have just seen a figure vault over the wall.
Seeing that Gu Lili was holding her hidden weapon again, he couldn't help but feel worried.
Did they run into some bad guys?
Chang'an, on the other hand, had a suppressed smile in his eyes.
This kid, who told you to follow so closely? You almost got knocked down by Lili!
Wei Yue, on the other side, had a deathly pale face and was leaning against the wall, panting heavily.
The Gu family siblings are all the same; they just want to knock people down without even asking questions.
Fortunately, he had witnessed the power of Gu Lili's hidden weapons before, so he was able to dodge them quickly.
Otherwise, we would have fallen into Gu Lili's trap.
If His Highness the Crown Prince hadn't forbade him to acknowledge his identity, he wouldn't have needed to follow him so secretly.
“Someone is following us!” Gu Lili said warily.
Chang'an handed the items to Li Ershu, then leaped onto the wall.
Seeing Wei Yue panting heavily, Chang'an couldn't help but sneer.
"Lili, Ershu, you two wait here for me. I'll go see who's following us!" Chang'an turned to Gu Lili and Li Ershu and said.
Gu Lili, however, was filled with worry. She didn't know who was following them, and she wondered if it would be dangerous for Chang'an to go with them so rashly.
Unfortunately, I don't know any light-body skills either!
Chang'an confidently replied, "A petty thief is no problem. I'll go take a look and come right back!"
Gu Lili was still a little worried, so she threw the tranquilizer gun in her hand up.
"Chang'an, take this for self-defense. If you can't catch up, come back quickly!" Gu Lili said.
Chang'an nodded, leaped off the wall, and disappeared from Gu Lili and Li Ershu's sight.
Gu Lili and Chang'an found a shady spot to stand and wait for Chang'an.
The moment Chang'an leaped off the wall, Wei Yue knelt on the ground.
Just as he was about to speak up in worship, he was stopped by Chang'an's gesture of silence.
Chang'an pointed to the side, and Wei Yue nodded, then followed Chang'an away.
"Your Highness, I am late. I beg Your Highness's punishment!"
In a secluded place, Wei Yue knelt down facing Chang'an.
Chang'an sighed and said, "How long have you been looking for me?"
Wei Yue straightened his back and told Chang'an everything about his search for him along the way.
This includes the many misunderstandings that occurred when the group found Gu Lili's house.
"What? You actually managed to find the Gu family?" Chang'an exclaimed in surprise.
If they find the Gu family, his identity will definitely be exposed.
Chang'an closed his eyes in frustration. It seemed he needed to find an opportunity to confess to Gu Lili that he had regained his memories.
However, if he told her, Chang'an felt that things might be over between them.
"Your Highness, let's set off for the capital as soon as possible. His Majesty is very worried about you," Wei Yue said, bowing.
Chang'an nodded; of course, he would return to the capital.
His original plan was to accompany Gu Lili back to Gu Manor, confess his identity to her, explain the situation, and then head to the capital.
"Alright, go and buy me a lotus flower right away. Don't get too close to us anymore. Once we get back to Gu Manor, I'll head back to the capital!" Chang'an instructed.
Wei Yue cupped his hands in greeting and quickly disappeared from Chang'an's sight.
When he reappeared, he was holding a lotus flower in his hand.
Chang'an picked up the lotus flower and turned to walk towards Gu Lili.
Given Chang'an's orders, Wei Yue naturally dared not follow too closely.
Now that he knew the Crown Prince's whereabouts, Wei Yue was finally relieved.
"Chang'an, where did you get these lotus flowers?" Li Ershu asked with a smile as he looked at Chang'an walking towards them from not far away.
Gu Lili blushed instantly. She couldn't understand why she was still so easily embarrassed when her combined age from both lives was nearly forty.
Chang'an smiled and walked towards the two of them, explaining, "I went to chase that villain, but I didn't catch him, so I just bought a lotus flower on the side."
As he spoke, he naturally handed the lotus flower to Gu Lili.
Li Ershu then realized that Chang'an seemed to have designs on his niece.
However, seeing that Gu Lili didn't seem to object, Li Ershu wisely kept quiet.
Li Ershu felt that Chang'an was a very good person, based on their interactions along the way.
They are both hardworking and resilient.
Although they couldn't find their relatives, just like Gu Lili said, as long as they have hands and feet, they will surely have a chance to get ahead.
While thinking about these things, Li Ershu didn't realize that he and Liu Miaoyin were in the same boat.
With his own hands and feet, and Gu Lili's help, how could he not have a chance to succeed?
At that time, if that person were to be replaced by oneself.
It's a case of the bystander seeing things more clearly than the person directly involved.
That's how people are; they're good at comforting others, but when it comes to themselves, they don't know how to convince themselves.
When the group returned to the Liu family home, the mother and daughter had already returned from the county government office.
Zhang Hong embezzled money from the Liu family, but Magistrate Meng ordered him to return all of it and then parade him through the streets in exile.
Zou Wenjun was the same. Over the years, he returned all the house deeds, land deeds, and money he had obtained from the Liu family to them, and then he was paraded through the streets in exile.
Everyone else involved in the Liu family's affairs was punished, to varying degrees.
People are in high spirits when they have good news. Liu Ying, having avenged her great enemy, was beaming with joy.
"Princess, thank you so much for this. If it weren't for you, my son and I would have been sick for the rest of our lives."
In just two days, Liu Ying has expressed her gratitude countless times.
She figured that now that the matter was resolved, she could take Gu Lili and the others on a tour of Jiangdu.
I also want to go out and see how Jiangdu has developed now.
Unexpectedly, Gu Lili politely declined.
"Princess, you are truly remarkable! You actually want to learn everything by doing it yourself!"
After hearing Gu Lili's plan, Liu Ying couldn't help but praise her.
Gu Lili shook her head modestly and said, "I'm just interested in novel things, not as exaggerated as you say, Madam. You mentioned visiting Jiangdu? Would it be nice to bring my second uncle and Chang'an along?"
This is a good opportunity for Li Ershu and Liu Miaoyin to develop their relationship.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Gu Lili finished speaking, Chang'an and Li Ershu refused in unison.
