Seeing the wine jar's ointment, Xiao Qiran started to reflect.

Shuang Hua was born good-looking, but she was already at the age where she was going to get married, yet she continued to soak in the crowd of men day after day. Now, there was a young lady who was a little bit interested in her, and her heart was moved, this made her feel a little wronged.

When Gu Mingyan came back with all kinds of boxes and jades.

After that, Xiao Qiran stuffed two hundred silver notes into his pocket and instructed him: "If you have the time, bring Shuang Hua out to play more. In the future, when you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, don't abandon her."

The girl in front of him was Shuang Hua's best playmate.

Gu Mingyan's eyes lit up as he placed the two hundred silver notes back into his pocket.

It seems that the reason His Highness rescinded the marriage was not because he didn't want it to happen.

It was his heart that belonged to him …

Big Sister Shuang Hua was around the same age as him, and since she was gentle and virtuous, who also knew martial arts, it wasn't impossible for Xiao Qiran's heart to be happy.

However, the entire Seventh Prince Palace was filled with rough guys, it was no wonder that Xiao Qiran kept him here — — So it was to find a companion for Big Sister Shuang Hua.

It was all thanks to her thought of annulling the engagement!

"I understand Your Highness, I understand what you mean. In the future, you have to take good care of Sister Shuang Hua, and you definitely will not let her be alone."

After she finished speaking, she washed the box clean and divided the ointment into three boxes, leaving one of them by Xiao Qiran's side.

"What do you mean?"

"In the future, I need to open my mouth for your legs. This thing is still useful."

As Gu Mingyan said this, he placed the other two boxes under Shuang Hua's pillow. It was likely that the woman also didn't want to show her wounds to him.

Xiao Qiran hesitated for a while, but eventually decided to take the medicine.

It was only until dusk did Shuang Hua return with his food box and various types of medicinal herbs.

"Sister Shuang Hua can eat with Your Highness first, I will go get some hot water and a handkerchief from the waiter."

Gu Mingyan didn't want to be an electric light bulb, and she accepted the two hundred silver as a protection fee, so she naturally wouldn't disturb him.

Xiao Qiran only nodded, and after he had finished eating and drank, Shuang Hua asked softly, "Is Your Highness going to stay here tonight?"

"It's hard to avoid people finding out when you come in and out." Xiao Qiran handed the documents over to Shuang Hua, then rubbed his forehead: "Li Xiang has been to the Military Department a few times, other than that, there are no other differences."

"Your Highness, do not injure your body because of this. Let Shuang Hua attend to Your Highness and rest." Shuang Hua accepted the items with a cold expression, and after a moment, he covered his ears and said: There are already a lot of people paying attention to the young miss, why not ….

"Wait for the right time." Xiao Qiran shook his head with a cold face, then looked at Shuang Hua. "There are only two rooms here, if I were to stay here, where would you sleep?"

"As long as Shuang Hua sleeps on the ground, don't neglect your highness and young miss."

Shuang Hua said seriously, but wasn't willing to give Xiao Qiran the chance to reject him.

She was aware that she was a subordinate of His Highness, and although she could be arrogant when it came to small matters, she couldn't be disrespectful when it came to etiquette.

Seeing that she was adamant, Xiao Qiran only retracted his gaze, and was no longer prepared to advise her otherwise.

On the other hand, when Gu Mingyan returned, he saw that Shuang Hua had laid a blanket on the floor of his room, and he was startled: "Sister Shuang Hua, why can you sleep on the floor, the ground is icy cold this winter, what if the fire is hot enough?"

Then he bent down and rolled up the blanket and put it on the table.

"Sister Shuang Hua should sleep on the bed, my room should be enough for Your Highness."

"If that's the case, Eldest Miss, you should …"

Before he finished, he saw a silver light flash on Gu Mingyan's fingertips, and his eyes turned cold: "Sister Shuang Hua do not care, after I take a shower I will need to wipe the medicinal paste to treat my wounds, I will not be able to sleep under my clothes for the whole night, and I will practice my knife skills as well."

At first, Shuang Hua did not know how cold those words were.

It was only until after Gu Mingyan had bathed and when the wound on his back was exposed to her, that she realized that the skin and flesh had yet to form a scab and a strange purple color.

"These …"

"It's just some poison, I brought a bath to slow down the healing speed of the wound, and also used medicine to wash away most of the poison. Normally, I don't believe Chun Ying and his medicine, I always drag and drag the poison to the side, and today is just perfect."

Gu Mingyan's words were casual, but his hand that was pinching the pillow was still trembling lightly.

A few days ago, she found that her hands were not as steady as they were before, and thought that the reason why she did not use her blade was because, after careful examination, she found out that the wound on her back had been manipulated. It was likely that the Madam Liu had sent this ointment, and the person who did it was very clear.

The only thing to blame was that she hadn't realized it herself. Qiu Mei had even let her bathe and change her clothes everyday, afraid that she would die sooner.

Shuang Hua carefully applied the ointment, causing Gu Mingyan to lie on the bed and bite the handkerchief. He did not make a sound, and sometimes, the pain was too great, causing him to groan in pain.

Xiao Qiran who was next door could hear the voices inside clearly, but he did not know what the two of them were doing.

He pushed the door open a little. "What happened …"

When Shuang Hua anxiously pulled down the curtain, he only saw the countless wounds on her snow-white skin and that pair of teary eyes.

"Just applying the medicine, Your Highness." Shuang Hua was afraid that someone would see her body, even if it was his future husband.

Xiao Qiran coughed lightly as he closed the door. With cold eyes, he waved his hand.

Someone soundlessly walked in from the window, and half-knelt beside Xiao Qiran: "Your Highness."

"Send two people to accompany big miss Prime Minister's Mansion, if anything happens, you guys are the only ones to ask."

Although it was just a simple glance, it was clear enough in the eyes of those who practiced martial arts. That strange light color could not just be a simple whip wound.

When she fell down the cliff that day, although she did not die, she was still a teenage girl. It was possible that the past few days, she had been living in the Seventh Prince and suffering in between the residences, but Shuang Hua and he had not remembered to send her some medicinal herbs. Instead, he had allowed her to use her cheap father's medicine.

After applying the medicine, Gu Mingyan's entire body was covered in fine sweat. His eyes turned red from crying, it was especially pitiful.

Being gently comforted by Shuang Hua's hand on the back of his head, Gu Mingyan actually had the urge to die!

She was not afraid of pain, but her mind was a person who was afraid of pain. She had cried before, and today, she cried so hard in front of Big Sister Shuang Hua that her eyes turned red.

"May I wear clothes?" Shuang Hua took the handkerchief and wiped her small face clean.

His Highness should have seen it just now, and seeing his future wife like this, he was afraid his heart would ache.

"I can only put it on lightly. I'll sit next to the fire later."

The moment those words left his mouth, Gu Mingyan regretted it.

She didn't believe that her hoarse voice that was filled with grievance and grievance was her own. She looked at Shuang Hua and saw the light that a mother could give out in her eyes.

He had actually lost all face in front of a beauty!

This water is really enough!
