Arriving at the entrance of the Seventh Prince's residence, Gu Mingyan's heart couldn't help but tremble when he saw the red lanterns that were already hung up high.

He only thought that this was not the same place as the haunted house from before, which made him feel slightly more at ease.

Shuang Hua came forward to welcome her personally, and when he saw the person standing behind her, he immediately saluted: "Master Li."

"There is no need for Lady Shuang Hua to be so courteous. Today, I have come to ask for Your Highness' help in a matter."

Li Xiang took a step forward, and bowed slightly while cupping his hands at Shuang Hua.

Shuang Hua quickly stepped forward and invited the two in. When Li Xiang did not see her, he looked at Gu Mingyan, as if asking her what was going on. Gu Mingyan just shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he did not know the reason.

Li Xiang was dressed casually, and no one followed him. It could be said that he was acting in a low-key manner.

Xiao Qiran used the excuse that he was not feeling very well and came over after a while. Shuang Hua ordered a servant to bring some tea and pastries and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Miss Yan, for yesterday's prescription.

Gu Mingyan actually wanted to see how he was going to circulate his energy and circulate it.

However, since Li Xiang was still sitting beside her, she could only give up on that idea. She slightly nodded her head to grab the pastries, took off the muslin and stuffed it into her mouth.

After hearing what Shuang Hua had said, Li Xiang seemed to be deep in thought.

Shuang Hua took all of these actions into his eyes, gave a few simple instructions to the servants, and then left to look for Xiao Qiran.

Xiao Qiran was only reading the letter in his room, but after hearing what Shuang Hua said, he pondered for a moment, then followed Shuang Hua and left.

As the wheelchair entered the hall, Li Xiang quickly saluted. However, he carefully sized up Xiao Qiran's legs.

Gu Mingyan sat at the side and was curious, could it be that Shengan men were so popular, that they did not feel embarrassed staring at the man's legs naked?

Thinking about it, he revealed a look of disgust.

Xiao Qiran knew that the girl's mind was far away, and her gaze turned gloomy: "Master Li does not need to be so polite, I just do not know why Master is here today."

Li Xiang looked at Gu Mingyan, only to see her staring at him innocently, with no intention of leaving.

Shuang Hua could only walk up and respectfully invite her out of the hall, and pull her to a corner where the people in the hall could no longer hear anything.

"What's wrong?" Gu Mingyan asked.

"Do you know why Lord Li is here?" Shuang Hua loosened his grip on her hands a little, and looked up and down to see if she was injured.

Gu Mingyan could only tell them everything that had happened in the Li Residence.

Inside the hall, the brazier was burning red, as warm as spring.

Xiao Qiran's arm rested on the wheelchair's armrest, his face had a smile on it as he looked at Li Xiang: "Master Li is my Fourth Brother's man, if you encounter any problems, you should also be looking for my Fourth Brother."

Li Xiang's face changed, he immediately knelt in front of Xiao Qiran, no longer caring about his position as the assistant minister.

"Your Highness does not know about this matter. I hope that Your Highness can help me hide this matter. In the future, I will definitely serve Your Highness as your servant until you die."

This kneel caused Xiao Qiran to slightly frown, and let him explain in detail.

Outside the door, Gu Mingyan only found out about it from Shuang Hua.

Although Li Xiang's wife was a disaster star and a lady of noble character, she was humiliated because of the past. She became a couple only after she had sincerely studied martial arts in the Jianghu Sect and had secretly fallen in love with Li Xiang.

Gu Mingyan originally thought that the person was not Madame Li Xiang, but now it seems that she was the one at fault.

However, Li Xiang continued, "A few days ago, I found out that the sect that my wife came to join was the secret door that His Highness the Crown Prince destroyed with his troops. When the secret door was destroyed, my wife's condition was to be used by him after his marriage."

"I can't do anything to His Highness the Crown Prince." Xiao Qiran's mouth raised into a faint smile, and finally understood.

"I know that Your Highness Seventh Prince is not interested in this, but that day when my wife stole half of her broken sword, I had already cut it off, and Your Highness seemed to have noticed some clues, but after a while, you came looking for me."

Li Xiang said in a hurry, his gaze sincere. "Today, I came here hoping to submit to Your Highness Seventh Prince, and in the future, I only hope that you can temporarily protect me and Madam. Then, I ask Divine Doctor Yan to treat him."

Sneering coldly, Xiao Qiran's gaze turned cold.

"Your wife stole something from my house. She's only returning it now, and she dares to state such a condition?"

"What if I have something else?"

Li Xiang slowly raised his head, his lips opened but no words came out, Xiao Qiran's face changed slightly: "Are you serious?"

"Then we will have to see if Seventh Prince is willing to become enemies with the crown prince and Fourth Prince in the future and protect the both of us."

As the sound of his voice faded, the entire hall fell silent.

Gu Mingyan, who was outside the door, saw Shuang Hua come and go several times, and after that, he just knitted his eyebrows and told him everything in the hall.

Gu Mingyan finally understood the profoundness behind it.

Li Xiang served Fourth Prince, but his wife was the crown prince's man, Li Xiang naturally did not have any more trust from the Fourth Prince, and at the same time, her wife was trying to bring the things out of the city, but she stopped her, so even her wife would not be able to trust the crown prince, and both sides would not please each other, and would be in a difficult situation.

However, the drawing was taken from the Seventh Prince, and it was difficult for her to part with it. Most likely, the wife wanted to let her husband down, and the husband resented her, so he tied her to the bed, not wanting her to leave, but doing so wouldn't stop her from seeking death.

"But why does he care so much about whether His Highness' legs are unharmed?" What do you mean by that? "

Gu Mingyan did not understand.

"Fourth Prince and Seventh Prince are both civil and military, the crown prince has high authority, but now that Your Highness can't stand up straight, how you are going to be able to become the emperor in the future is naturally not something the officials of the court can consider, so we can only carefully try to win some military power first. However, Li Xiang was the assistant minister of the Military Department, so there is no need for him to climb up. Today, he is here because we hope that the Palace will fight for the position of the King.

This way, Li Xiang would be completely useful to the Seventh Prince.

Gu Mingyan felt dizzy listening to them. Why didn't she develop her brains to be like theirs?

Everything seemed to be logical, but Gu Mingyan just indifferently looked at the hall, and his five senses were mixed at the moment.

It was as if the great Shengan had ambushed everything in its path, and had only been here for a few short days.

She felt that she would not be able to find her way around this place, but she would also be unable to find a path to pursue it in the future.

Tian Chu's medicine was not developed, and only those books were interesting. Other than that, she could not muster up any desire to fight.

The door was pushed open at that moment. Li Xiang walked out unscathed, leaving along with a servant beside him.

Shuang Hua stood beside Gu Mingyan and only smiled at Li Xiang, he did not intend to send her to the Li Residence. Li Xiang nodded his head slightly, as though they had agreed on a deal.

Returning to the hall, Gu Mingyan couldn't help but ask: "You didn't promise to return the protection of the things he stole from you right?"

"Since there is someone willing to offer the Mountain and River Diagram with both hands, it is naturally good." Xiao Qiran lightly tapped his fingertip, and looked back at Shuang Hua: "Is Old Man Xue Zhu still alive?"

"He's still alive. Two months ago, he sent a jar of Bamboo Leaf Qing back. However, I was unable to find any traces of it, so it's difficult to contact him."

"Li Xiang has brought news." Xiao Qiran placed a letter into Shuang Hua's hands.
