C49

Gu Mingyan was somehow invited out of the bedroom.

The waiter of the inn had changed into the attire of a servant of the Li Residence. He ran over and whispered, "Miss Yan, please come with me to rest for a moment."

Nodding her head, it was Gu Mingyan's first time coming in contact with such a mix of inner force and poison. She wanted to investigate it thoroughly, but she was chased out by Li Xiang, who had two sabers behind his back. She could only swallow her saliva and slowly retreat, without saying a word as she followed the waiter into the empty courtyard.

This courtyard was actually much more elegant than the rest of the palace. After the snow had fallen, even the tiles on the walls began to shine brightly due to the warm winter sun. Gu Mingyan was extremely happy and asked the waiter, "Do you want me to stay here and wait quietly?"

"Yes."

The waiter nodded cautiously. He had expected Lady Yan to ask him about the relationship between Li Xiang and the woman, but every time he saw her, he would turn sorrowful and cold. It was as if he didn't care about the relationship between the woman and Li Xiang at all.

At this moment, she was merely wearing a blue water cloak as she stood by the side of the stone table. She raised her hand to pick up the cup that was covered in snow, and she became even more puzzled, "Why did this cup appear on the stone table for no reason after snowing for a few days? The snow on the ground is not clean after all. "

"There aren't many people in the mansion, so I don't have time to pay attention to this place. The dust in the house has yet to be cleaned. Why not let me bring you to the manor and take a look?" The waiter looked at Gu Mingyan meaningfully.

In the bare winter yard, there was only some heavy snow. It was unknown what they were looking at.

Gu Mingyan immediately shook her head: "How could I possibly like to read about Dong Ri's courtyard? How about we find me some unorthodox books."

"So Miss Yan likes to read books. This lowly one will send someone to fetch them."

The waiter smiled as he instructed some people to bring some books over, while he stood by Gu Mingyan's side.

With Gu Mingyan's good upbringing, she could not let the waiter leave so easily, so she took the two books. After they cleaned up the stone tables and chairs, she placed a woolen blanket in front of her and started to read.

He was engrossed in books and did not care about worldly matters.

The waiter waited for a long time, but did not see Gu Mingyan move at all, so he only coldly looked into the distance.

As for the servant at the corner, he silently left and returned to Li Xiang's side.

"Your excellency, Divine Doctor Yan does not have any internal energy with him, nor does he ask any questions. He has only been reading since the beginning and has not moved at all, nor does he have any intention of probing." The attendant half-knelt in front of Li Xiang.

Li Xiang stood with his hands behind his back, frowning.

Moreover, he had practiced medicine twice for the sake of Prime Minister's Mansion and Tan Jingchen of the Southern Viewing College, these two could be said to have a decisive role in Shengan. He thought that she was truly a genius doctor who had entered society, but after turning his head to buy a good red cedar guqin, he gave it to the Seventh Prince as a gift and also made a promise to treat the Seventh Prince.

If Divine Doctor Yan was not wrong, then there would definitely be a day when the Seventh Prince had more power in the future.

Divine Doctor Yan had come to his residence twice and had never asked about anything superfluous, so he was likely not the least bit meticulous.

After tossing and turning about, Li Xiang raised his hand and instructed, "Take care of her. I'll go talk to this lady about it."

"Yes."

The servant quietly left, and the sound of iron chains rustling came from behind the door.

As Li Xiang stepped into the courtyard, he only saw his white fingers slowly closing the book in his hands. He raised his hand to rub the sore spot between his eyebrows, then massaged his shoulder as he stood up. His free hand did not forget to open the second book, as if he was about to pace to and fro in the small courtyard to read a book.

"Miss Yan." Li Xiang said softly.

Gu Mingyan regained his senses, he tore his gaze from the book and looked at Li Xiang who was by the side with a puzzled expression, he could only put down the half volume of words he was about to say and asked: "Master Li, what is it?"

Li Xiang's gaze landed on the two books. "I wonder if Miss Yan also likes to see the secular world."

"I've never seen such a thing in the mountains before. Today, when I saw this book, it said that there was a seductive woman in the mountains, and I only thought that I've never seen her in my entire life. I couldn't help but be a little curious, and these words are filled with love and love, which made me like her even more."

The moment he mentioned the scroll, Gu Mingyan's eyes lit up, he did not seem to be lying.

It wasn't wrong for a young girl to like reading the book of love.

Li Xiang was even more sure that she was not some spy from anywhere, he sat down in a pose of welcome, and the servant beside him carefully went forward to refill their cups of tea, causing Gu Mingyan to slightly nod his head in thanks, placing the tea in his sleeves, he looked at Li Xiang: "I wonder if Master Li would like to say a few words to me?"

"Miss Yan doesn't seem to be curious about my relationship with her." Li Xiang raised his eyebrows.

"There are so many people in the world. If I save a person, I would have to find out who she is and what she's doing. Isn't that a bit too tiring?"

To take someone's money and help them get rid of their troubles.

This was the teachings of the Medicine clan. If they didn't ask about meddling in others' business, trouble wouldn't come knocking on their doors.

However, if trouble came knocking on his door, he should deal with it carefully. It would be best if he could find a reason to get rid of this trouble and save himself the trouble in the future.

Li Xiang's mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts, but he heard Li Xiang continue, "Miss, you have a thorough understanding."

"If Lord Li has something to say, just say it. I need to go back quickly and see Master."

Gu Mingyan was too lazy to bother with the respect on the surface. Every single word Li Xiang said was akin to disbelief, so why would he waste his time?

"To be honest, I came here today to ask young lady if Your Highness Seventh Prince's legs can be cured in the future."

Li Xiang asked, but Gu Mingyan could not understand.

Li Xiang was someone close to His Highness the Fourth Prince, and now his beloved person was lying on the bed looking for death, why would he ask about the matter of the prince?

After thinking about it carefully, Gu Mingyan was unable to discern what he was thinking.

However, if she told a lie, she would have to tell more lies in the future. With her identity, she still wanted to keep it.

"As long as I collect all of the medicinal ingredients, it will suffice. However, the days are long. May I ask why Lord Li is inquiring about this?"

"Since that's the case, I wonder if Miss can accompany me to the Seventh Prince's manor."

Li Xiang's eyes immediately lit up. He seemed to heave a sigh of relief.

Gu Mingyan tilted his head, this Li Xiang must have seen through her identity.

"Why me?"

"Since Miss Yan is His Highness' benefactor, she will not refuse you at his door. However, if I were to go, I'm afraid that the Seventh Prince will be suspicious of me. As long as Miss takes me into the palace and tells her of the illness of my beloved person, I will not mistreat her."

Li Xiang spoke sincerely. Although Gu Mingyan did not know what he was planning, he still agreed.

She did not know what the situation was like, so she might as well bring him along to deal with Xiao Qiran.

Li Xiang thanked him and gave him the jewelry from the small box. This made Gu Mingyan unable to look away, so he closed the box tightly.

Noticing Li Xiang's confusion, the waiter did not know why this genius doctor who had transcended from the mortal world loved money. He immediately said, "Sir, this lady looks to be around ten years old. Naturally, she likes these jewels, but not banknotes."

Thinking about how he helped her out of the palanquin today, the silver bills almost fell to the ground, but Gu Mingyan was not in a hurry either.

Li Xiang felt helpless. A little girl was still a little girl.

Gu Mingyan didn't know that he was always seen as a little girl by others.
