Chapter 487: 248 End (One More Update)
In the next room, Gu Jiao had just treated Xiao Jingkong’s wounds. Though he wasn’t physically harmed, his heart was wounded.
Someone had cut off his hair that he had been growing for a long time, and he was so sad that he was twitching. He tried to hide his pain in front of strangers but couldn’t hold it any longer in Gu Jiao’s arms. The little boy tucked his body into a ball aggrievedly, his head hanging low.
With both his hands holding his tiny head, his teary voice managed to say, “My hair…my hair is… gone…”
Gu Jiao said, “It’ll grow back. I’ll make some sesame balls for you to eat, and wash your hair with “He Shou Wu” to make it grow faster.”
“Okay.” Xiao Jingkong nodded in satisfaction.
Looking at his little bald head, Gu Jiao asked, “Does it still hurt?”

The little guy actually used the “Iron Head Kungfu,” which he had never practiced before – quite a shock, to say the least.
“It hurts. Can you blow on it?” Xiao Jingkong tenderly patted his own little bald head.
Gu Jiao blew on his head gently.
Xiao Jingkong nestled contentedly against Gu Jiao’s chest, his little head buried in the crook of her neck – ecstatic.
Gu Jiao was reminded of the picture when she first brought the little guy back to the Medical Hall.
At that time, he didn’t realize Minmin had misinterpreted their relationship. He assumed that he was indeed the son of the royal concubine and said to her cautiously, “I’m sorry, even though you are my mother, I can’t return with you. I want to stay with Jiaojiao. She took care of me, and I want to take care of her too.”
So, who really rescued whom?
Gu Jiao kissed the little boy’s bald head lightly.
“Jiaojiao, did you just give me a kiss?” the little guy asked, hope glimmering in his voice.
“Yes, I did.” Gu Jiao nodded.
Xiao Jingkong blushed and swiftly buried himself in Gu Jiao’s chest. His two hands grasped her clothes, turning himself into a bashful boy.
In another room of the Medical Hall, the prince and Xiao Liulang were showing their gratitude to the brave man who intervened during the incident – Liu Yisheng.
When Minmin was knocked unconscious with a stick, Liu Yisheng happened to be nearby. He didn’t know Minmin but had seen Xiao Jingkong and Gu Jiao from afar – something Gu Jiao probably wasn’t aware of.
Liu Yisheng, a weak scholar, couldn’t possibly win against those hooligans, but hey, he is Liu Yisheng!
By declaring, “I am Liu Yisheng,” half the Capital City seemed ready to fight him.
He pointed at the middle-aged man and the one called “Ol’ Li”: “These are my blood brothers. With them, none of you can harm me!”
The brutes were then beaten!
Liu Yisheng took the two children back to the Medical Hall.
That’s how the entire incident unfolded.
As for Liu Yisheng, both Xiao Liulang and the prince had only heard of him but never met him. They knew he was a family member of Queen Dowager Liu, and after Queen Dowager Liu’s family was implicated, he was finding life quite difficult in the Capital City.
Unexpectedly, he was the one to save the children.
The Prince personally offered his gratitude, “Thank you for saving my son. Please accept this small token of my gratitude.”
Liu Yisheng was broke and didn’t refuse the offer. He took it with an open heart.
The prince was satisfied. He didn’t like to owe favors. Liu Yisheng’s acceptance of the gift indicated he too had the same idea.
The prince couldn’t help but appraise Liu Yisheng a bit more. “I’ve heard about your situation in the Capital City. Would you like to come to Liang Country?”
The Liu family had colluded with Chen Country, not Liang Country, so Liu Yisheng and the prince had no sensitive political relations between them. Even if there were, the prince could still protect Liu Yisheng.
However, Liu Yisheng said, “Thank you for your kindness, but for now… I don’t wish to leave.”
Liu Yisheng was known for his straight talk, a trait that set him apart from many hypocritical young people.
The prince didn’t press for an explanation. After a few words of gratitude, he left for the next room to check on Minmin.
Thus, Xiao Liulang and Liu Yisheng were left alone in the room.
Xiao Liulang also wished to express his gratitude. He had recently made some silver from writing and had planned to give it to Gu Jiao. Giving it to Liu Yisheng as a reward seemed fitting.
Besides the reward, he fetched two books that Master Feng had given him and put them in a brocade box.
But to his surprise, Liu Yisheng declined.
“Why?” Xiao Liulang looked at him, puzzled.
Liu Yisheng looked back at Xiao Liulang, “Dr. Gu gave me treatment, she either charged less or didn’t charge at all. I owe her a favor, so I can’t accept your gift.”
