The news that the King of Qin was confined to his palace by Your Majesty spread like a torrential rain throughout the court and the country.

For a time, the Qin Palace was deserted and everyone was worried about being implicated.

Pedestrians on the street took detours for fear of getting into this unexpected disaster.

But early the next morning, someone arrived at the gate of Prince Qin's mansion despite the criticism.

Princess Qinghe was wearing a plain long dress, holding a visiting card, and standing face to face with Liang Wu.

The imperial guards looked embarrassed when they saw Princess Qinghe.

His Majesty is still furious with the King of Qin and has already made it clear that no one is allowed to visit him, but Princess Qinghe came anyway.

Princess Qinghe said, "Your Majesty only confined His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin to his residence, but did not seal off the Prince of Qin's mansion. Why can't I go and see the Princess?"

Liang Wu hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Princess, I know you are worried about the princess, but His Majesty is still angry. If you go in now, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble."

Qinghe thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.

She knew Liang Wu, the deputy general promoted by Gu Mingzhao over the years.

Now that Li Zheng has sent him to guard the Prince of Qin's Mansion, it can be regarded as a kind of protection for the Prince of Qin's Mansion. It is expected that he will not make things difficult for the people inside.

Thinking about it this way, I feel a little more relieved.

"The princess has just recovered from a serious illness. I miss her very much. How is she now?" Qinghe asked.

"The princess is fine now. I will convey your intention to her."

Princess Qinghe nodded and said, "General Liang, please tell the princess that I have been waiting for her. When the ban on the Prince of Qin's mansion is lifted, we sisters will reunite."

Liang Wu agreed and watched Princess Qinghe leave.

After Princess Qinghe left, Liang Wu immediately went in and reported the matter to Liao Qinglan.

When Liao Qinglan heard this, she felt dazed, as if time had gone back and as if they were meeting again in another lifetime.

She looked at the swaying bamboo shadows outside the window, and an indescribable melancholy surged in her heart.

"I have been in a coma for five years, and I haven't seen any of my old friends yet."

Liao Qinglan sighed softly, her voice filled with nostalgia for the past.

Gu Mingzhao stood beside her, looking at her gently, and slowly said: "When you first fell into a coma, many old friends did come to visit you. Later, as time went by, most people have entered a new stage of life, started a family, and are busy with their own lives, so fewer people came to visit you."

Liao Qinglan's eyes were somewhat dejected: "Yes, time is not forgiving. At this age, everyone should get married."

"You're married, too."

Seeing that she looked lost, Gu Mingzhao couldn't help but remind her.

Liao Qinglan chuckled and said with emotion: "I don't know how they are doing now."

Seeing her like this, Gu Mingzhao continued, "The eldest daughter of the Minister of Personnel has now married the third place winner of the imperial examination last year. The two are living in harmony and are quite happy. The youngest daughter of the Imperial Censor married the second son of the Marquis of Weiyuan. And General Du's second daughter married the deputy general under her father, and now her whole family is in the northwest."

His voice was mellow as he told her about the recent situation of his old friend.

Liao Qinglan listened attentively, but was also a little surprised.

Gu Mingzhao has always been a cold-hearted person and doesn't seem like the kind of person who would care about these trivial matters. Unexpectedly, he knows the situation of his old friend so well.

"How do you know so clearly?" she couldn't help asking.

"I will naturally pay more attention to your friends. Senior Mo said that he should talk to you more often, and you might be able to hear it. I thought you might care about your friends, so I wrote it down and told you when I get back."

It would be a lie to say that Liao Qinglan was not moved at all.

Five years passed in the blink of an eye, and everything and everyone changed for her.

But for Gu Mingzhao, it was nearly two thousand days of hopeless waiting.

Even though there might be no results, he did not do it half-heartedly or give up.

Liao Qinglan leaned in his arms and said nothing.

Her friends all got married and had children.

She herself has also met her true love.

Thinking of this, the sadness I just felt about the passing of time suddenly dissipated.

Suddenly, she thought of another old friend.

Before she fell into coma, Wang Tingzhi's eyes were blind.

Speaking of which, she is also largely responsible for Wang Tingzhi's blindness.

She knew clearly that it was Gu Mingzhao who dealt with An Linglong, but in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, she deliberately led everyone to think that it was Wang Tingzhi who did it.

As a result, Wang Tingzhi suffered inhumane revenge from the An family and became blind.

I don’t know how he is now.

However, Gu Mingzhao has always been resentful of Wang Tingzhi.

The atmosphere is so good right now, and she is not really unromantic, so she would not bring up this topic at this time.

Gu Mingzhao suddenly asked: "Aren't you curious about others?"

"Qinghe? She shouldn't be married yet."

She knew very well about Qinghe's affairs in her previous life.

Trained in emotional intelligence, sealed the heart and locked the love.

However, you will meet your own destiny in the future, but the time is not right now.

"I thought you would like to know how Wang Tingzhi is doing."

Liao Qinglan couldn't help but remain silent.

Unexpectedly, Gu Mingzhao and she were so in tune with each other. She didn't say anything, but Gu Mingzhao understood.

After a long while, she said, "How is he?"

"He is also married to Qin Xiaoxiao."

Liao Qinglan was a little surprised.

She saw everything that happened between Wang Tingzhi and Qin Xiaoxiao back then.

Falling flowers are intentional, flowing water is ruthless.

I didn't expect it would work out.

"Wang Tingzhi finally figured it out?" Liao Qinglan asked excitedly.

"I don't know whether he has thought it through or not. Qin Xiaoxiao is my adopted sister. It's not difficult for me to ask for an imperial decree to grant us marriage."

Liao Qinglan: “…”

The way this thing was done... I always felt that it was so unlike Gu Mingzhao's character...

Liao Qinglan couldn't help but complain: "How can you match couples so randomly?"

"How can it be random? How do you know they are not enjoying it?" Gu Mingzhao said nonchalantly.

"Then...what about Wang Tingzhi's eyes?"

Gu Mingzhao shook his head.

"Senior Mo said that the blood clot was very deep and could not be removed by ordinary methods, which led to blindness."

Liao Qinglan sighed in her heart and asked softly, "How is he doing now?"

"He has resigned from his official position and is staying at home, refusing to see visitors. No one has seen him for a long time."

Liao Qinglan couldn't help but feel sorry for Wang Tingzhi.

He came from a prominent family and had ranked second in the imperial examination, so he was full of energy and ambition.

It must be so uncomfortable to fall from the clouds to the bottom of the valley in one fell swoop...

"If there is a chance, I would like to meet him." Liao Qinglan said in a low voice.

"It's a little difficult to see him now. He doesn't see any of his old friends. Once we are released from confinement, I'll let Qin Xiaoxiao try to arrange it."

"Ah."
