In the dream, the only thing that remained was a long table filled with medicinal herbs.

Gu Mingyan smelled the medicine all over the infirmary, and in his dreams, he thought back to the way he looked when he was young, solitarily searching for the antidote. In his dreams, the children would not be able to reach the herbs on the shelves, nor could they hold the heavy books, and only the incandescent light would shine on the table until it was completely white. In the darkness, her relatives would look at her from time to time, and sometimes they would just take the books and leave.

As for the child, he went back and forth between the bookshelves and the table.

The long table was empty. The incandescent lamp had been replaced by a candle flame.

He was still alone.

She slowly woke up from her dream, the feeling of loneliness still lingering in her mind. She lifted her eyes to look at the person in front of her, only then did she realize that the person in front of her was Xiao Qiran.

Xiao Qiran ignored Bai Song who was watching behind her as his warm and rough fingertips brushed against the corner of her eyes.

"Did you have a nightmare?"

"Nope." Gu Mingyan shook his head, thinking that these were not really any nightmares, he supported himself up with the table, raised his hand to rub the corner of his eyes, and chuckled: "How's the situation going?"

"Just now, I went with Bai Song to the Rui Pavilion, but didn't discover anything. However, the person who poisoned Ji Huai did not leave any trace behind, and the patrolling soldiers also sent people to protect the safety of the academy, so this matter is considered to be over. "

Xiao Qiran spoke about some of the more important things in a concise manner.

Gu Mingyan tapped his fingers against his ear and leaned against the table. After a long while, he said softly, "I'm going back to eat. I'm going back to starve to death."

Seeing the sky darken, she remembered to return and transcribe the mental cultivation method. She would leave it to Gu Xu.

Shuang Hua, who was behind her, followed with understanding. "Young miss, shall I send you back?"

"It just so happens that Big Sister Shuang Hua is eating with me." Gu Mingyan's eyes lit up, he quickly went forward and held Shuang Hua's shoulders, and waved to Bai Song before he left: "Cousin will meet you tomorrow!"

With that, she dragged Shuang Hua and ran out the door, knocking him and the others who had come to thank her, and stopped talking.

However, Bai Song frowned as he looked at Xiao Qiran: "I still don't agree. She is no different from Bai Shao after all, she is still a child."

"If this matter is as you and Mr. Xu have said, it will all be because of my royal father. No matter what, she should enter the palace."

Xiao Qiran's expression was cold. Although he knew that royal father had good intentions, if he was too kind, it would only mean that he would do bad things.

"Accompanying a lord like a tiger. Right now, the Emperor is already very dissatisfied with the Prime Minister. If she were to …"

"You are indeed talented, but you care too much about personal feelings."

With a slight glance, the pressure around Xiao Qiran suddenly dropped, causing his face to turn pale and say nothing.

National Duke's Mansion had already left the imperial palace for a long time, and did not know that the current royal father was only more troubled than the previous emperor who had just ascended the throne.

Bai Song still wanted to refute him a little, but Xiao Qiran didn't give him the chance to speak.

"If you are willing to leave, then leave. If you want to protect National Duke's Mansion, then you must pull apart the distance between you and them, and even more so, don't worry about the marriage between me and her."

After he finished speaking, Wei Bai had already pushed his wheelchair out from the back, and was about to continue taking care of the matters at the back.

Bai Feng Ran was her grandfather's most beloved daughter, and as her daughter, as well as her grandfather's granddaughter, how could he ignore her?

Or should he really allow her to enter the palace?

The Snow-Gazing Residence in front of the academy on the southern side was precisely the place that had opened.

The three characters of "Gazing at the Snow" were elegant. The windows on all four sides of the second floor were open. The carvings on the windows were all different.

The three of them messed around for a whole day and changed clothes, leaving a few servants by their side to accompany them. Shuang Hua did not want to eat at the same table as the other young masters and mistresses, so he left them with a few words of advice before leaving.

The three of them found a window carved with a lot of snow and sat down.

Gu Mingyan did not expect that after not seeing her for a long time, they would be tossed away by the three little fellows, and she listened to them order a few dishes with a lack of interest. On the other hand, the waiter looked at Gu Mingyan one more time before he went downstairs, "Young miss, if you don't want to taste our wild pot, it's perfect for spring today."

"One pot." Ji Huai immediately slammed the table.

Gu Mingyan was helpless, he could only nod towards the waiter, and threw ten taels of silver to him: "Go on."

Most likely, the waiter saw her as the elder sister of the three furry children.

Therefore, he came over to ask several times.

After receiving the silver, the waiter coughed lightly and disappeared.

This was the first time Yu Xiaochen came here to eat something like this. She sat at the side, a little reserved, and said softly, "Isn't it proper for us to talk about etiquette over here?"

"I won't." Ji Huai grinned, and helped her arrange the dishes.

Bai Shao stared at Gu Mingyan. "You look impressive."

What do you mean by 'nice looking'?

Gu Mingyan shot him a glance, knocked him on the head with his finger, and lightly lectured him: "I'm your sister, what are you talking about?"

"We are all dressed in black and black, so it is impossible to tell what's going on." "Looking at you today, you really look quite impressive. During the banquet at Dong Ri Palace, you don't know how many young misses watched you grind and shatter your silver teeth." Ji Huai clicked his tongue as he held his tea.

His words caused the waiter who came to deliver the pastries to be stunned for a moment, before his face immediately turned red.

Gu Mingyan tilted his head, he still did not understand how his looks could offend the other young misses.

Yu Xiaochen's face was small and clean, but her nose was tall and small, revealing her upright features. Her forehead was full, and her eyes were slightly sunken, and her willow leaf eyebrows were dark and deep. Only her pair of peach shaped eyes were charming, but not bewitching. When she wasn't smiling, they looked pure and clean.

Only at this moment, when she was wearing a blue gown and had a sickly expression, was there an additional calmness and weakness. Her pair of eyes inadvertently glanced over, causing people to be unable to keep their eyes open; her voice was not pleasant to talk about, but clean and gentle.

Looking at Bai Shao's worried expression, her eyes were filled with gentleness.

Only she poured herself a cup of tea with a puzzled frown. When she saw the majority of the dishes on the table, she was about to tell them to hurry up when she saw the waiter holding a Silver Eared Lotus Seed Soup in front of her. "Miss, these are the dishes that the young masters at that table sent over to you."

Why did someone send the wine over again?

Gu Mingyan only chose the table, and upon seeing all the strangers present, he smiled: "Thank you for me."

The waiter replied.

Gu Mingyan then placed the Silver Eared Lotus Seed Soup to the side and spoke to the three people: "What are you muttering about, hurry up and eat, I still need to go back and sleep later on."

The three of them hurriedly lifted up their bowls to eat. Ji Huai even smiled, "You saved me and that Xia Ziji today, so why don't you go to my residence tonight?

"Nope, I got a bed." Gu Mingyan did not want to be surrounded and thanked.

"You are the daughter of the Prime Minister, my father will definitely rope you in, and he will also bring Bai Shao and Little Chen along with him. Ji Huai playfully blinked her eyes.

Are all the young mistresses of the rich families so intelligent?
