He stayed up all night, waiting for the dawn to break.

Gu Mingyan was drowsy while supporting herself on the table. After half the night without Xiao Qiran's warm inner strength, her back was already completely cold, and only a bowl of hot broth noodles warmed her body, and she carried another Tang Mu. Her fingertips held onto the pages of the book as she glanced at the horizon beyond the crack, and then sucked in a cold breath as she said in a low voice, "It seems like it's going to snow again."

"There will be plenty of snow in the winter of Shengan, so it will be the New Year in three or four days. At that time, the young miss will probably return to the manor as well."

Shuang Hua was pushing Xiao Qiran's wheelchair to the side of the bed, and had even gone out to investigate the doctor who had sewed wounds on Xiao Qiran.

Gu Mingyan didn't care what they did, he just raised his hand and fiddled with the little black ball in the cold water, happily giving it a name of Xiao Hei, which scared both Shuang Hua and Xiao Qiran to death.

"Eldest Miss, do you need to sleep tomorrow?" Shuang Hua saw that the ointment on her back was about to disappear.

"I'm not going to sleep anymore. Since I'm going back home in a few days, I should do everything I need to do in the next few days."

Gu Mingyan shook his head, donned his clothes, went to get a basin of warm water, and went into the room next door. After cleaning the ointment slightly, the pain in his back was no longer there, and he donned his clothes and rushed back in, while looking at Xiao Qiran: "Do not use your inner force too much these few days, your wounds need a lot of rest."

Xiao Qiran nodded his head lightly as he gestured for Shuang Hua to pour some water.

Shuang Hua took care of the work, and brought the blood-stained bedding along to the waiter to clean.

The waiter carried the blood-stained bedding and asked, "I wonder when Divine Doctor Yan will leave?"

"Wait for the lady to send the medicinal ingredients, then we can leave without a trace." After saying that, Shuang Hua pretended to be vexed and sighed: "I was originally going to leave in a few days, but I never expected that I would be disturbed by Snow and the lady's footsteps.

The waiter was clever, and quickly pulled Shuang Hua to the side.

"Young lady, to tell you the truth, last night the lord of the city sent someone over. He said that the lady was seriously ill and wanted to seek your young lady for treatment. "If it's not because the lady helped to persuade me, then it's not likely that I'll be able to get out of the besieging snow anyway, if I can earn some money and save a life."

Speaking of which, it was actually the waiter who stuffed a high quality gold hairpin into Shuang Hua's hands.

Shuang Hua's face turned cold, but he still smiled and accepted the golden hairpin, and asked: "My family's young lady has a bad temper, I wonder whose family's master is it, why didn't we meet yesterday?"

"That's Lord Li Xiang, the vice minister of the Military Department. They rushed here last night when they heard the news. They wanted to knock on the door to inquire about the situation, but they heard what your young lady had to say. They left after a while."

The waiter's eyes rolled around, looking at Shuang Hua a few more times.

Seeing Shuang Hua's stunned expression, she smiled and gave Shuang Hua some silver coins, asking her to persuade the young lady that she didn't want to go out.

Waiting until Shuang Hua left, the waiter then draped a cloth over his shoulder, and went around the corner to the stable at the back door. When they met, he stood tall and straight, looking like a soldier: "Master Li, yesterday morning, Madam Prime Minister's Mansion came to get what she wanted, the bedding that was given out was stained with blood and poison, this doctor must be speaking the truth."

"Leave the person here first, then we can investigate."

That person opened his mouth and disappeared without a trace.

The waiter's back bent and he let out a sigh of relief. Then, he happily carried the dry grass to the horses to feed them.

At noon, the sky suddenly darkened, the wind and clouds gathered, and rain began to fall.

Gu Mingyan was lying on the table as she flipped through the books, bored out of her mind. Shuang Hua had sent people to investigate and was extremely busy, but in the small room, there were only two people, Xiao Qiran and herself. Seeing Xiao Qiran resting on the bed, she could only pout her lips, feeling extremely bored.

"Is that Lord Li Xiang coming or not?"

Muttering softly, Gu Mingyan laid on his arm and turned to look at Xiao Qiran.

"If what Shuang Hua said is correct, I'm afraid we'll have to wait for a few more days. Your identity and background is difficult to find, and you don't even know the details of your medical skills, if he comes knocking to invite you, it will be to inform everyone that his wife is about to pass away."

Xiao Qiran suddenly raised his head and looked at her.

Gu Mingyan, however, was puzzled. "Why can't you tell me about Madam's serious illness?"

"When her wife was born in the village, she met bandits and massacred the village, leaving only her behind. When Li Xiang married her back then, she also entered the village under the name of Bane King. If anyone else found out, then perhaps his wife would recover and be poked in the spine by someone."

As he said till here, Xiao Qiran actually gave Gu Mingyan an extra glance.

The day she was born, she was also born with an abnormal sign. The summer snow was never seen before in the history of Shengan.

That year, Xiao Qiran was still a wet behind the ears child. Seeing the wind and clouds suddenly change in the sky, causing the snow to fly cold to the bone, he was obviously an excellent cooler for the summer, yet he was so shocked that the rumors in the palace were like the wind, saying that it was snow during the summer and that it was bad luck.

However, the flying snow continued for an entire day and night. Even the heat of the summer had become dark and freezing.

Thus, he remembered this young miss Prime Minister's Mansion. Now, it seems that she was indeed a woman that would cause people to be pleasantly surprised, but he didn't know if she had had good fortune or bad luck.

Gu Mingyan, on the other hand, thought of this rumour that he was born with, and suddenly laughed: "Looks like Li Xiang really loves his wife."

"You were born unlucky, do you have any complaints?"

Xiao Qiran looked over calmly with his pair of sword eyes. He did not like to beat around the bush, and after getting along with her for a few days, he had a whole new level of respect for her.

Her long eyelashes trembled, Gu Mingyan suddenly remembered that her family members were feared by others because of the bloodline medicine, or maybe because of the curiosity and guesses in the eyes of the rich, causing the corners of her mouth to calm, her eyes were cold.

"It can only be said that I was destined to be unable to be at peace since birth. However, if I am to return safely, I will still think about living a normal life."

Gu Mingyan raised his hand and downed the cup of tea. Then, he smiled bitterly, "Furthermore, since I recognize father as such a heartless person, I will not regret doing things in the future."

Those eyes seemed to contain some time, as if they were about to sink into the abyss.

Xiao Qiran could not understand her at all. He got off the bed and looked at her beautiful body, then patted her on the bed: "Sleep for a while."

"Cough, cough …"

Gu Mingyan was afraid that he was choking on his saliva, he could not believe what he saw.

Did you let yourself go when your sweetheart wasn't around?

He immediately shook his head and waved his hand, "Even if we have always been honest with each other, you still have to worry about Big Sister Shuang Hua."

Xiao Qiran was confused, he just wanted to see how sad this girl was so he could let her sleep on the bed.

What did it have to do with Shuang Hua?

"Miss Yan, someone outside wishes to meet you!"

The waiter outside shouted.

Gu Mingyan heaved a sigh of relief, tidied up his clothes, and walked out, thinking, could it be that this Seventh Prince wanted to enjoy the blessings of the people at his side?

Men really are big pig's feet.
