Gu Mingyan stubbornly stared into Xiao Qiran's eyes for a long time. In the end, it was still hard for him to fall asleep.

Just a moment ago, he was still blabbering on about how he didn't seem like a prince but rather someone from a wealthy family. Now, his breathing was steady as he slept on his side between the pillow and the bed. His back wasn't pressed up against the bed; it was completely empty.

You can sleep.

Xiao Qiran pressed his fingertip against her wrist, but when he thought about the damage done to her meridians, he awkwardly withdrew his hand in the end.

Wei Bai hurriedly rushed over from outside the door. The room was extremely cold, but all he could do was pour out all the internal energy in the room in a disorderly manner, as if it was all gone.

"Your Highness, since a year ago, the use of this inner force has caused some damage to your muscles and bones. Now, fortunately, Eldest Miss has wholeheartedly focused on detoxifying the poison, but you should still worry about yourself."

He shouldn't have missed something big due to the loss of his internal energy for the sake of his children's relationship.

Unsatisfied with the fact that the Seventh Prince had no sense of his legs, he only thought that he could cross the battlefield on horseback because of his status as a prince. He did not know that the had many experts in martial arts.

If he were to use up all of his inner strength at this moment and arrive at the drill grounds, he might not be able to fight back when provoked.

"Right."

Xiao Qiran replied indifferently, then he retracted his Qi and closed his eyes and leaned on the bed, circulating his Qi to recuperate.

Wei Bai secretly clenched his teeth, he took out a blanket from the cupboard and went to make the bed for the young miss's brother.

It looks like His Highness isn't planning to leave tonight.

Waiting until Wei Bai left, the candle flame in the room suddenly went out.

In less than four hours, before the faint light in the horizon could dissipate, Gu Mingyan slowly opened his eyes. Faintly getting up from the bed, he leaned on the wall and closed his eyes.

Xiao Qiran's eyes were bright, and from the darkness, he could vaguely see the faint golden light beneath the red rope.

Was she having nightmares, or was something wrong?

No matter what he did, he only waited for Gu Mingyan to gradually regain his senses and for the two porcelain bottles to suddenly appear in his hands. He then asked: "What medicine is this?"

Both of his hands trembled, Gu Mingyan did not expect that someone was by his side.

Xiao Qiran quickly caught the two falling porcelain bottles and opened them.

The pungent smell caused him to furrow his brows, but Gu Mingyan's hands quickly poured two pills into his mouth, and his eyes became clear again: "The pain is awake, eat something to stop the pain."

Finished speaking, Gu Mingyan gave him a helpless look.

The meaning behind his words was that these were only some poison.

Xiao Qiran looked at the sky: "You can still sleep for a while."

"I'm not sleeping anymore." Gu Mingyan shook his hand repeatedly as he crawled into the warm blanket. He looked at him openly: "Your Highness just now scared me awake."

Xiao Qiran raised his brows, and flicked her forehead with his fingertip. A red mark impressively appeared.

"I'm the master, it's not surprising when I wake you up."

Clutching his forehead and squinting his eyes, Gu Mingyan buried himself into his pillow: "Got it."

Yesterday had been warm, today had become the relationship between the top and the bottom.

You change your face too fast.

Ye Zichen cursed in his heart, while he grabbed onto the blanket with both hands out of boredom. He didn't know why Ye Zichen was acting so cocky.

After all, she shouldn't have woken up in pain. But now she was tired, unable to sleep.

Seeing that she was pretending to be dead so easily, Xiao Qiran smiled and said softly: I can't sleep, why don't we chat?

"About what?"

Gu Mingyan turned over and laid on the bed to look at him.

"The academy is not suitable for you."

"I can go to the Martial Academy, and if you stay long enough, you can teach me some defensive moves."

Gu Mingyan's eyes immediately lit up, thinking that in ancient times, there were many people who could walk on the streets, she immediately became envious. Although she thought that she was not a martial arts practice material, but at least she had gotten used to it.

Wei Bai and Gu Xu who were by the side of the door stopped in their tracks.

Gu Xu looked at the tightly shut door in disbelief, what was his sister trying to learn?

Wei Bai's body stiffened. He thought that based on his young miss' petite body, let alone practicing martial arts, it would be hard for her not to fall when she ran.

As the two's auras were in disorder, Xiao Qiran merely shot an indifferent glance at the door.

"It's fine to stay here for a long time, but with your physique, you'll probably be beaten to the ground."

"As long as it doesn't bleed …"

Gu Mingyan looked at Xiao Qiran guiltily, and he naturally knew in the bottom of his heart that it was impossible to practice martial arts without bleeding.

but keep her sitting with the scholars...

She would rather stay in the library every day.

"The Prime Minister won't agree. Moreover, he's anxious to keep everything of yours in his hands. In the future, the Japanese will use you to rope me in. In these past few days, you should think of how to deal with your father."

Xiao Qiran could tell at a glance how much she despised the academy.

"Father is indeed strict and dissatisfied with me and Xu'er. I think he must be worried about the gains and losses. On the one hand, he is worried that we have never been close to him and would be difficult to control in the future."

"On the other hand, he is also a tyrant of the Madam Liu. He is unable to take in new concubines, and he is also unable to support his own sons and daughters, which is why he is able to grow up to a situation where there is no one in the clan who can trust him." Gu Mingyan carefully analyzed, and even his voice became more ruthless: "Xu'er can only rely on Grandmother who has no power and no power, but she can't let Gu Ziyan go."

Xiao Qiran felt the Qi of the person outside becoming a little chaotic, but he did not intend to come in.

He continued, "Gu Ziyan is not only a good chess piece of the empress's Madam Liu clan, but it's a pity that the Madam Liu is so powerful now. If they wanted to get close to the crown prince rashly, they would only arouse suspicions from the emperor."

"Similarly, among the five children, although Gu Ziyan is not her biological son, her father watched as she grew up, and the trust in his heart did not disintegrate overnight, not to mention that Gu Ziyan is currently a talented daughter of the Shengan, even if she is a concubine, in the future she will become a prince's secondary wife, and with the support of the Madam Liu, her status is extremely high."

Gu Mingyan quietly shifted himself while he was lying down, bored to death, he raised his hand to fiddle with Xiao Qiran's clothes.

Let her do such a silly little thing.

However, Xiao Qiran laughed: "If we can't let this daughter of the Madam Liu go, we won't be able to help our son Gu Xu get on the throne. But if Gu Xu doesn't ascend the throne, in the future, even though he will be the prime minister, he will still be restricted by the Madam Liu."

"He was the one who fell into this dilemma and wanted to find my loyal daughter to break it." Gu Mingyan laughed self-deprecatingly, his back hurting from the tearing. "That's good too, I don't want him and Madam Liu to find trouble with Xu Er."

The person outside the door froze in place, momentarily at a loss.

Xiao Qiran then asked: "Then how are you prepared to solve your father's problem?"

"I'm looking for your help." Gu Mingyan said softly: "The last time I saw you coming out of the Spring Pavilion, if you introduced a gentle and virtuous sister as your father's concubine, everything would have been fine if you had a baby!"
