Her clear and melodious voice was like a silver bell, causing the hearts of those who heard it to tremble.

The girl in front of him was also dressed in white, her azure and white cloak hanging loosely from her shoulders. Her eyes were white, her teeth were small, and her hands were hidden behind her wide sleeves; when she smiled, there was a light dimple at the corner of her mouth, and the corner of her eyes were curved, looking very pretty.

After hearing such sincere words, Xiao Yiran couldn't help but feel some warmth in his heart.

"The same goes for the ladies."

With that said, Xiao Yiran slowly raised his hand to signal for everyone to not bow.

Gu Mingyan realised that he had said what he wanted to say, and immediately puckered his lips and laughed dryly.

Shuang Hua, who was leading the way for Xiao Yiran, hurriedly stepped forward to introduce the two of them. He had actually completely forgotten about Gu Ziyan, who was at the side.

"So it's the great miss of Prime Minister's Mansion. Please excuse me."

On the surface, Xiao Yiran looked respectful, but in his heart, he did not believe that this petite girl was already fourteen.

He was so thin.

Gu Mingyan was momentarily at a loss as to how to reply. Thinking that this Fourth Prince should be showing Gu Ziyan, she grabbed onto Gu Ziyan's sleeves and hid behind her, whispering: "How should I talk to this prince?"

His voice wasn't loud, but for martial artists, it was immediately heard clearly.

Both Xiao Yiran and Shuang Hua revealed a hint of smile on their faces. Gu Ziyan was so embarrassed by the question, so she pulled her sleeve and whispered: "Big sister has been living in the countryside for too long, I hope that your highness Fourth Prince …"

"There's no need to take it to heart. I have long heard that Second Miss Prime Minister's Mansion is one of the Shengan's most talented women.

Xiao Yiran replied amiably, but immediately blushed.

Seeing that the two of them looked to be extremely compatible, and that Fourth Prince was able to praise her so much, she smiled and looked towards Shuang Hua, who was at her side, with her eyes.

Shuang Hua hurriedly coughed twice, and said in a low voice: "I invite Fourth Prince Highness to take a seat in the hall for a while, my Prince would like to meet First Miss on his own."

"Miss Prime Minister's Mansion is his fiancee, it's not the right time for me to come."

Xiao Yiran had an apologetic look on his face.

"If Your Highness doesn't mind, why don't we have Zi Yan cook tea for Your Highness and wait for you? It's a crime to disrespect Big Sister just now."

Gu Ziyan immediately followed up with a look of embarrassment, as though he had fallen in love with her at first sight.

As a result, it was not easy for Xiao Yiran to refuse.

This Fourth Prince was rather easy to talk about.

Gu Mingyan secretly gave the Fourth Prince a high score in his heart, and then followed Shuang Hua into the main house.

Unlike the dazzling array in the study, the spacious room only had the daily necessities. The tables and shelves were empty, and even the walls were snow-white. The only curtain covering the bed was actually a grey-white color.

Is your prince going to die?

Gu Mingyan could not help but retort in his heart, as his gaze landed on Xiao Qiran who was seated on a wheelchair not far away, and was standing in front of the table.

He was wearing a black robe and his face was pale. After the medicine yesterday, he seemed to have become even weaker. His eye sockets were sunken, and he looked like he was about to die.

Shuang Hua then closed the door.

She stepped forward. "How are you?"

"After drinking the medicine, my inner strength has become increasingly unstable." Xiao Qiran turned his head, and his eyes actually filled with a ghastly cold blood energy.

How would Gu Mingyan know what Inner Qi was? He walked over, bent down, and placed his hand on Yue Yang's stomach, removing the waist seal, and asked him: "I will place my hand on your dantian later, you should try using Inner Qi to test it."

"Aren't you afraid that this prince will harm you?" Xiao Qiran raised his eyebrows, and retracted his hand that wanted to stop him.

"Isn't inner strength the wind?"

Gu Mingyan asked innocently, opening his eyes wide, filled with doubt.

Xiao Qiran shook his head in pain, he raised his hand and grabbed her wrist, releasing all the Qi into her wrist.

As if he had been licked by scorching wind, when Gu Mingyan faintly frowned, Xiao Qiran hurriedly let him go.

Waving his hands, Gu Mingyan ran outside.

With a cold expression, Xiao Qiran wanted to tie the waist seal back up, but she came over with two pieces of handkerchief in her hands, squatting beside him.

"I can't get burned, but it will only hurt a little. I'll be able to endure it even though I'm separated by a handkerchief."

Gu Mingyan placed his hand on his slightly embarrassed Dantian.

Seeing her serious look, Xiao Qiran had no choice but to do as she said.

Before Xiao Qiran could even react, the handkerchief in Gu Mingyan's hand had already been pushed away by a burst of force. Gu Mingyan also squatted on the ground with his eyes closed, while his hand was placed firmly on Xiao Qiran's Dantian.

Aren't you afraid of death...

Xiao Qiran forcefully suppressed the inner Qi flowing in his body.

Gu Mingyan carefully opened his eyes wide: "This is inner force!?"

Xiao Qiran coldly nodded, and pulled her hand down: "How is it?"

"Looks like this poison is in your meridians. You need to use needles, and I know most of the antidotes for this poison. Just write down a prescription and you can go get the medicine."

Slowly standing up, Gu Mingyan looked at his own palm that had suddenly turned red, and gently swung it.

He then stood in front of the table and placed one hand behind him just like when he was practicing calligraphy. He leaned forward slightly and held the brush powerfully as he began writing slowly without losing focus or calmness.

His calligraphy was smooth, but after a while, more than ten names of medicinal herbs appeared on the paper. Although they were slightly illegible, it was impossible to tell that they came from the He Clan.

Xiao Qiran watched Gu Mingyan's actions the entire time, and when she raised the last stroke of the brush, her wrist suddenly relaxed, and she placed the brush by the side, but was held tightly by the man, and his gaze turned cold.

"This move looks like it came from a famous expert. Your writing style is not messy at all. Are you really from the countryside?"

Being questioned in such a way, Gu Mingyan's heart involuntarily felt guilty, but he still forced himself to repeat the story he had told Gu Ziyan before, and added on: "Let alone this, even though father ignored my abandonment of the countryside, it does not mean that I am not interested in this."

"So you're saying that you pushed Gu Ziyan to my brother today also to pave the way for your father?"

To say it so straightforwardly was to Gu Mingyan's taste.

"Daddy and I don't have much feelings for each other. If I were to say that I've been doing things for the past few days, it's all for myself." Gu Mingyan simply raised his hand and leaned it on the table, and raised his eyebrows at him: "So what if Your Highness Seventh Prince is suspicious and suspicious at all times? "Ever since we met at the bottom of that cliff, we are now tied to the same boat."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Qiran smiled with interest.

"I know that you are being hunted but you don't dare to ask the Emperor for help. You also know that my blood formation isn't as simple as it looks." Gu Mingyan slowly stood up and raised the wrist that he had grabbed, and a slight smile appeared on his lips: "Since that's the case, then if both sides were to grab onto each other's weakness, then hide from each other without interfering with each other, would this deal be good?"
