Xiao Liulang said earnestly: "Jiaojiao did not enter the palace at all today. Although she has some skills, she is not capable of lightness kung fu and cannot enter without passing through the main gate."
This was an undeniable truth.
Gu Jiao indeed didn't have such skills, a fact the emperor had experienced firsthand. On the night when he was assassinated, she helped him escape with nothing more than her own two legs to carry them both.
The emperor had nearly run himself ragged!
If she had the skill of lightness, she wouldn't have needed to run in a life or death situation.
This time, without waiting for the emperor's order and in order to clear the innocence of the young doctor, Eunuch Wei went to the palace gate himself to inquire about whether Gu Jiao had entered the palace.
"No!" the palace guard replied with certainty.
Eunuch Wei asked: "Did Xiao Xiuzhuan enter the palace on his own?"
The guard replied: "There was also a young eunuch from Renshou Palace."
