Chapter 1249: 609 Wanting a Child (Second Update)

Could it really be the work of the former Queen Consort of Liang?

Therefore, the Emperor ordered a thorough investigation within the Liang royal household. Without the investigation, it wouldn’t have mattered, but once they delved into it, all the disgraceful acts committed by the former King of Liang over the years, such as taking bribes, colluding with local officials, running private mines, and abducting women, were all unearthed.

Now he would be infamous for generations to come.

As a result, the Emperor confiscated the Liang royal household, and all the descendants of the former King of Liang were stripped of their royal status and turned into commoners, severing any ties they had with the royal family henceforth.

One day, Gu Jiao was in the courtyard drying medicinal herbs when a few soldiers accompanied by a couple in their twenties came to her door.

The soldiers were from the government office of Pingcheng Prefecture City. The leader among them greeted Gu Jiao with a bow, "May I ask if this is the residence of Doctor Gu?"

"Yes, what do you need from me?" Gu Jiao stopped her work of drying herbs. _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}

The leading soldier hurriedly said, "Doctor Gu, my surname is Liao, just call me Liao Quan."

Another one named Liao Quan.

"Who’s calling me?" Liao Quan, holding a spatula, came over from the newly-opened passageway next door.

Gu Jiao turned around and said, "No, Uncle Liao, it’s a coincidence, he’s also called Liao Quan."

"Oh." Liao Quan was not surprised; with such a common name, he had encountered many people with the same name over the years.

He continued back to resume cooking.

Perhaps due to the mix-up caused by the name, the soldier Liao Quan actually felt a bit of kinship, and with a smile, he led the couple forward, saying, "They are from Brookwater Village. They reported to the Yamen that their child was lost. We inquired about their child’s situation, and it closely resembles the child that Lord Xuanping and Officer Xiao rescued from an ancient well. The Yamen has it on record that the child was carried back to Bishui Alley and handed over to you, Doctor Gu, for medical treatment."

Gu Jiao nodded, "I am treating him, but we were short on hands here, and after he recovered, he was taken to Princess Xinyang. Please wait, I will send someone to deliver a message to Princess Xinyang."

Upon hearing this, the couple nearly knelt down.

Their son was taken to be raised by a princess?

A princess?

A princess!

My goodness!

Was their family’s ancestral grave emitting green smoke?

The couple was quite young, and since it was common to marry early in ancient times, they already had five children, with the baby being the youngest.
