章節 640: 307 The Truth Revealed (second update) _2

Xiao Liulang closed the door for the emperor and looked at Gu Jiao, "Are you okay?"

The emperor was subjected to an assassination attempt, and she happened to have brought him back; such a coincidence was bound to raise concerns about whether she was in some kind of danger, too.

The reason why the word "pick up" is used is mainly because Gu Jiao has a proclivity for bringing strays home...

First unintentionally bringing home the dowager empress, then the little monk, and then the former High Priest of the Guozijian...

Okay, to be fair, the High Priest was brought home by the old dame, not her.

Gu Jiao initially wanted to say that she was unscathed, but when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she swung her little eyes around and held her hand out, "My hand hurts a little."

"What happened to your hand?" Xiao Liulang instinctively held her hands, carefully examining them all over, from the palms to the back of the hands, the heels to the fingertips.
