Early that morning, Gu Ziyan had caught the cold and found it difficult to get up.

Not only did the guards not care, they even sent the eldest young miss to the side courtyard to stay for a few days. In the daytime, they would have the eldest young miss personally wait on the side of Seventh Prince's bed, so the two maids could only stare and call the doctor outside to diagnose them, but they could not find a way to save her.

On the other hand, Gu Mingyan was still sleeping soundly on the bed.

Xiao Qiran pushed the wheelchair into the house, and only his black hair was revealed, his face was actually buried in the bed.

Ye Zichen let out a heavy sigh.

This girl could not be beaten up nor scolded, she could not be punished.

He could only have Shuang Hua dig him out from under the bed and change into a light purple dress. She had used a peach wood hairpin to tie up his hair, causing his peach blossom eyes to always have a hint of gentleness and charm, making them unable to look away.

She blurrily sat in front of the table, and immediately raised her hand to grab Xiao Qiran's wrist to connect his pulse.

"Your pulse is still unstable, it's still faster for me to give you acupuncture."

Withdrawing his hands, Gu Mingyan began to pick up the bowls and chopsticks, and scattered with a blank look in his eyes.

"Last night, a rumor was spread that a godly doctor from the countryside came with the surname 'Yan'. He was able to cure all sorts of illnesses and today, he is going to the city to buy medicinal herbs. A young lady is following him and is staying at the Yanyi Inn near the south gate."

The servant by Xiao Qiran's side said each word, and then placed an identity document and book on the table.

To be able to sit to such an extent in such a short amount of time, Gu Mingyan had a whole new level of respect for him.

Xiao Qiran was not in the mood to eat, she only took a sip of tea and brought the book back.

"I've already remembered that this identity document is not enough. You all have to find an old doctor and bring me the silver needles and a medical knife that he usually uses. If you don't give these things to a doctor, they shouldn't be fresh." Gu Mingyan drank a mouthful of hot porridge and continued, "As for the other missing ingredients and items, I will naturally go out to purchase them, so that they will see me."

"Alright." Xiao Qiran agreed and returned the booklet to the servant. He then looked at her: "If I were to enter the Military Department's Assistant Minister's residence …."

"I will do it randomly, if I can't even do this little thing well, then I won't be able to help His Royal Highness with anything."

Gu Mingyan smirked, and took a pill after he ate, making his voice somewhat hoarse. Then, he brought Shuang Hua who was dressed as a servant to leave.

Although Shuang Hua was a red person who was by the side of Seventh Prince, he was an expert in the art of disguise. With his face covered by a veil, his face was now tidily arranged, which only made Gu Mingyan sigh all the way.

There was always a place for merchants to stay, so it was not a small two-story building, but a wide courtyard. There were two two-story buildings inside the courtyard, and behind the courtyard were about a dozen stables with large and small courtyards. There were no ordinary restaurants on the first floor of the inn, so there were many frequent customers who did not want to interact with other people.

The purpose of the Divine Doctor was to purchase some medicinal herbs and leave, so that people could believe him when he chose this place.

The room was already booked, and the Exquisite Energy at Gu Mingyan's waist was temporarily given to Shuang Hua to keep.

Each room had its own room. Carrying his backpack, Gu Mingyan pushed open the door, stopped for a moment and then left.

"I must be blind."

Rubbing her eyes, she pushed open the door again.

The person he had met this morning was sitting at the table. His pair of sword-like eyes looked at her calmly. "Come in."

Gu Mingyan pursed his lips and stepped into the house to look at Xiao Qiran's expression.

He really did not know why a prince like him would sit here so openly with such a secretive person who would attract spies from all over the world.

"Come here."

Xiao Qiran glanced at the chair beside him.

She obediently walked forward, and just as she sat down, she placed a bag of candied fruits in her arms.

The candied fruit in his arms was actually warm even in this cold winter day. Gu Mingyan carefully glanced at him, then opened it to eat, and asked: "How is Your Highness coming over by himself?"

"Afraid of your bad deeds."

Xiao Qiran sized up the petite girl in front of him. No matter how hard he tried, he could not remember how he initially let this girl do such a dangerous thing.

The killing on the battlefield was decisive, but it meant that he would usually kill without batting an eye.

Gu Mingyan pursed her lips and glanced at him, but still obediently carried the candied fruits and started to eat, suddenly she opened her mouth: "Can I not marry you?"

"Sure." In Xiao Qiran's eyes, this girl was only a child.

"Then write it down in black and white. I'm afraid you'll go back on your word." Gu Mingyan took the chance to bring the brush and paper over.

"Let's settle this first."

Was this girl in such a hurry to break off the engagement?!

Gu Mingyan thought in his heart, if she suggested to rescind the engagement, she would need to do a lot of work, and if Seventh Prince were alone, this matter could be resolved, it would truly be lacking a lot of trouble for her.

However, seeing Xiao Qiran's indifferent expression and how much he valued this matter, she could only obediently continue eating her candied fruits.

A moment later, two books were placed in front of her, "The book you said you wanted to find inner force, it's not convenient to give it to you in the residence."

"Thank you." You don't have to be bored if you have a book to read.

Xiao Qiran sized her up and read through the secret letter and the simple information in the box.

From start to finish, Gu Mingyan, who was sitting next to him, had not even glanced over. Holding the book in one hand and sliding his other hand along the diagrams on the meridian channels, his gaze was serious.

When Shuang Hua brought the items used by the old doctor into the house, he saw that the secret letter was placed all over the table.

The two of them sat side by side. Only the martial arts expert, His Highness, regained his senses and nodded slightly, indicating that she should put down her things before leaving.

Shuang Hua smiled, then pointed to the empty charcoal brazier in the room before leaving.

The charcoal pot behind him was completely empty, and Gu Mingyan's fingertips were even turning red from the cold.

Xiao Qiran remembered that she once said that she would push him into the Wintry Spring and he had not recovered from it.

Shuang Hua took some charcoal and lit the charcoal brazier, but Gu Mingyan didn't even notice it as he lightly pushed open the window with the inner strength at his fingertips.

A wisp of cold wind blew over. Only then did Gu Mingyan shrink back his neck, raise his head, and notice that the door was slightly ajar.

"Did you use inner force to get up and walk again?" Gu Mingyan squinted his eyes and grabbed Xiao Qiran's wrist.

The pulse was unaffected.

She turned her head back to look at the book and saw the big and small circle of inner strength walking around. She raised her eyebrows. "You must have used your inner strength."

Not a fire, just a window.

Xiao Qiran stopped, raised his hand and gently knocked on her forehead: "A little."

"Not even a little bit. Just a little bit of inner Qi would be enough. You have to open the window and call me."

Gu Mingyan glared at him fiercely, then placed down the book in his hands: "Just nice, I'll go and see if there are any suitable herbs for you."

"It can be cured?" Xiao Qiran still did not believe this silly little girl.

"Perhaps there is a poison in this world that I am unable to cure, but there is definitely no poison that I am unable to cure!"
