With just a "Bane of the Bane", she effortlessly used her identity as a genius doctor to send the other one into the abyss of death.

In her previous life, she didn't ask for merit, but for money. She didn't ask for family harmony, but for self-confidence.

Now that she had changed her tone and borrowed her life, she naturally didn't want to be that little radish that had been abandoned in the countryside. She only wanted to earn more money and then refine her medical skills. She had no heart for other things.

Shuang Hua looked at her with a bitter face, not knowing how to comfort her. He only thought that it was the little girl who was angry, and actually lied to him.

"Shuang Hua, keep an eye on that waiter."

Xiao Qiran said softly as he pushed the wheelchair to sit beside Gu Mingyan.

Closing the door, Gu Mingyan let out a light sigh.

After a while, a large, warm hand covered her head and gently stroked the top of her hair. Then, she took off the wooden hairpin and carefully combed her hair with her fingertips.

"I'm not a three-year-old child." Gu Mingyan chuckled, he raised his hand, but could not bring himself to hit the hand that was on his head.

"Li Xiang will not come here rashly today. There will be people following you from the outside. Since you have shown such intimacy with me, you should naturally hide behind the curtains to avoid any mishaps."

Xiao Qiran said in a righteous tone, there was no mistake at all.

If there really was an attack at night, Xiao Qiran could definitely send people to deal with it, but at least it would cause her to be suspicious.

Since the day that the Madam Liu arrived, it was no longer the time that he had planned to leave.

Gu Mingyan thought for a while, then took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed, which allowed Xiao Qiran to lean on the outside of the bed.

There were two pillows between the two of them, so Gu Mingyan was unable to lean on them and could only lie on his side.

The person on the bed breathed calmly, sleeping peacefully.

Xiao Qiran thought back to what Gu Mingyan had said these few days, and understood that this girl did not care about the various powers of the Shengan, nor had she the heart to be loyal to him. She had even pushed him into the fire pit today, and it was possible that she wanted to leave the Shengan and live a carefree life.

Unknowingly, Xiao Qiran's hand had already landed on her cheek.

It was as if he had seen her for the first time as thin as a bean sprout. Last night, when he had held her in his arms, she had been extremely light.

It was time to get fat.

As he thought about this, Xiao Qiran's mind was very far away, so much so that he did not notice Shuang Hua pushing the door open to enter.

Looking at Xiao Qiran's gentle eyes, Shuang Hua smiled lightly and walked over with some ointment and a handkerchief.

"Your Highness, the wound on Eldest Miss's back should be treated with medicine."

"Alright." Xiao Qiran said as he was about to get off the bed.

"Without His Highness' internal energy, I'm afraid I would be cold later on." Shuang Hua hurriedly held her down.

Xiao Qiran was more at ease now, he had already seen what he shouldn't have seen last night.

He pulled the blanket between them and only then did he pull her onto him. He placed one hand on the back of her neck, letting her lean against his neck while he lay on top of her. He then lifted the blanket to cover both her legs and closed his eyes.

"Call me when you're done."

Xiao Qiran even slightly raised his head as if he was warming himself up with his brothers on the battlefield.

The hand covering her neck slowly drew in some warm inner strength. The person in her embrace let out a few light snorts, and all of their breath sprayed onto his neck.

It was as if a kitten's paw had scratched it.

The man's body was more honest than his heart. Xiao Qiran's scalp went numb, and his body became as stiff as an iron block.

Shuang Hua forced a smile on his face and added some cloth as a barrier, then closed his clothes again and said softly: "Alright, Your Highness, quickly put the person back in place, if not I will say that you are molesting me when I wake up."

looked at Shuang Hua with cold eyes. "After this prince returns to his Shengan, this prince has indeed pushed you too far."

Shuang Hua quickly lowered his head, carried the things and ran off like a wisp of smoke.

He hadn't thought that his subordinates would cause such a ruckus.

Normally, if they did something, these subordinates would prefer to remain silent for a day rather than have intimate relationships with a girl.

"Little Black …"

Gu Mingyan held onto a pillow and buried his head between the blankets.

Hearing that Gu worm he took out from his own wound, Xiao Qiran's face turned cold as he ruffled Gu Mingyan's hair.

I can't get used to this girl anymore!

Still, he tucked her in and left a small opening for her to put her head in.

The next day, the Shengan brought about the second round of snow.

The white snow fluttered in the air, but the cold wind was not as sharp as the first snow. There were few people on the streets, and snow covered the shoulders of the soldiers outside.

Gu Mingyan was wearing a thick cloak, half of his face was hidden under the fox fur coat, and he also had a small fur hat on his head.

She didn't expect there to be seahorse and ambergris here. Hearing the waiter mention them, she rushed over to buy them.

Now that she had stepped lightly on the snow, creaking sounds could be heard. She was also happy for a while, so she decided to walk even slower.

When he woke up in the morning, Shuang Hua and Xiao Qiran had both disappeared, leaving behind only a short note saying that something was up.

She walked around the South Street alone and finally stopped in front of a three-story building. She raised her head and saw three large words written in a flamboyant calligraphy — Spring Pavilion.

The brothel!

Gu Mingyan's eyes lit up, she had never been to such a place before, but she had always heard of how many beauties there were. Furthermore, from the books in the past, the ancient brothels were extremely proficient with their zither, calligraphy and calligraphy, as well as their poems and songs, and even more so with everything they had.

Shengan was the most bustling place in Chu, so it was likely that this Spring Pavilion was not bad.

There must be many beautiful big sisters!

"Young master, you must come again next time."

Gu Mingyan walked over and saw the door of the Spring Pavilion open. Xiao Qiran, who was sitting on a wheelchair, came out, and behind him, a beautiful old procuress took the silver from Shuang Hua's hands, smiling as she tried to remind them to come back.

Their four eyes met, and Gu Mingyan carefully shifted his gaze towards Shuang Hua. Seeing Shuang Hua smiling and conversing with the old procuress, his expression changed again and again.

Her Highness likes it very much, why did Shuang Hua bring her to visit the brothels!

Xiao Qiran also retracted his gaze as well. When Shuang Hua turned around, he was slightly startled to see Gu Mingyan, but due to the difference in their statuses, he could only push Xiao Qiran over the snow with difficulty with a cold expression.

Gu Mingyan knew that the identities of the two parties were different, so he pretended to avoid them.

However, before he could reach the entrance of the Yanzhou Inn, he met the scholar from yesterday at the corner.

"Miss Yan." Tan Jingchen stepped on the snow and quickly walked in front of her.

"Master Tan." Gu Mingyan nodded his head lightly. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Tan Jingchen call out to her, and laughed lightly: "Thank you, Miss Yan, for saving Second Miss Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday, these pastries can be considered as a small gift. As for the other rewards, in the future, I will definitely send someone to deliver them to the inn."

Gu Mingyan caught the pastries and watched him leave, and then held the pastries on the spot, at a loss of what to do.

What's the meaning of this Tan Jingchen? Why did he have to thank him on behalf of Gu Ziyan?
