Once, after making love, she saw that Gu Mingzhao was in a good mood, so she bravely asked him how he got the injury on his leg.

Liao Qinglan still remembered that Gu Mingzhao told her with a half-smile that he was beaten by other people in Liao's school.

In her opinion, the Liao family was harmonious and she had never heard anyone mention such a thing happening in the family. She blurted out a rebuttal: "How is it possible!"

Gu Mingzhao sneered coldly: "Even if I die in the Liao Mansion, no one will care. What's more, you are a high-ranking young lady, and no one will let you know these dirty things."

"Your brother is about to take part in the imperial examination. Who dares to bother Prime Minister Liao with such a trivial matter?"

"I only lost a leg, but the Liao family is preparing for the spring imperial examination that takes place every three years."

"Liao Qinglan, do you know that what I hate most is your untainted appearance?"

"It was the Liao family that caused my leg to be crippled. You are sleeping with me now only to atone for the sins your family committed in the past."

Gu Mingzhao was so angry that he rarely stayed in the Pepper Palace that night.

When I heard him talk about this in the past, I thought he was too extreme and took his anger out on the Liao family for no reason.

But when I saw his current situation with my own eyes, I realized how dangerous the situation Gu Mingzhao had been through was.

Life hangs by a thread, and one is on the verge of death.

"Gu Mingzhao, you must get better." Liao Qinglan said softly.

The eldest lady looked very sad, and the maids were somewhat moved.

The Liao Mansion was right at the foot of the imperial city, and it wasn’t long before the imperial physician was invited over.

"This is..." When Doctor Zhang heard that the eldest daughter of the prime minister's family fell from the tree, he rushed over in a hurry, but he didn't expect Liao Qinglan to be standing in front of him.

Liao Qinglan lifted Gu Mingzhao's blanket and said, "Doctor Zhang, his leg was broken. Please see how to reconnect it."

Doctor Zhang pinched his leg bone, frowning deeper and deeper, and couldn't help but say: "The person who did this is too cruel, he wants to cripple this young master's leg!"

Liao Qinglan became even more worried after hearing this: "Doctor Zhang, is there any way you can help him heal without leaving any sequelae?"

Doctor Zhang said, "He was injured not long ago. Fortunately, the young lady invited the old minister in time. If it had been delayed any longer, even if Hua Tuo were reborn, he would not have been able to save him."

After saying this, Doctor Zhang took out Ma Fei San from the medicine box and poured it into Gu Mingzhao's mouth. Then he cut open his trouser legs, pinched his legs with both hands, and checked his injuries.

The wound was affected, causing Gu Mingzhao to feel pain and wake up from his coma.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful face. The eldest lady was standing at the head of his bed, comforting him softly, "Don't worry, Doctor Zhang can cure your leg, and the pain will go away soon."

Gu Mingzhao felt like he was dreaming.

He had seen the eldest daughter of the Liao family from afar. She was as beautiful as the snow on the Tianshan Mountains and the moon between the clouds. She was an existence that he could only dream of but could not reach.

Gu Mingzhao laughed at himself in his heart: When a person is about to die, even his dreams become bolder. How could the eldest lady appear in his room?

But Doctor Zhang soon let him know that this was not a dream.

Doctor Zhang pulled and pushed with lightning speed to connect the broken bones for him, and then fixed the splint on his leg.

"The pain of bone straightening is unbearable for ordinary people, but this young man can do it without making a sound. He is truly a rare person." Doctor Zhang could not help but admire.

Liao Qinglan had been staring at his legs. After hearing what the imperial physician said, she realized that Gu Mingzhao's face was pale and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

She handed the handkerchief in her hand to Gu Mingzhao: "If it hurts, bite the handkerchief, don't bear it."

Gu Mingzhao did not reach out to take it. He lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at Liao Qinglan: "I'm used to it a long time ago. This little pain is nothing."

Liao Qinglan looked at his inky eyes and couldn't help wondering in her heart whether he still hated the Liao family or not.

She felt that she should be able to make amends: "Well... I will tell my father and ask him to discipline those playboys."

"The Spring Examination is coming soon. Everyone in your house is preparing to send Mr. Liao to take the exam. My worthless life is not worth mentioning." Gu Mingzhao said calmly.

Look, how familiar these words are! Liao Qinglan's hairs stood up when she heard them.

When she heard these words in her previous life, the tone was not like this!

As expected, I still hate the Liao family.

Still need to coax him.

Liao Qinglan asked Jinxiu to send Doctor Zhang away, and sent the two maids to the kitchen to prepare some sweet porridge, and sent everyone away.

"Miss, aren't you afraid that it will damage your reputation if you stay in my room alone?" Gu Mingzhao asked puzzledly when he saw that she had no intention of leaving.

Liao Qinglan glanced at his legs and said, "You are already like this, what can you do to me?"

Makes sense...

But the words "you can't do anything" made Gu Mingzhao feel like he was being told that he couldn't do something as a man.

The house fell into dead silence.

Liao Qinglan spoke up, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere: "Imperial Doctor Zhang said that your legs need to be taken care of. This Spring Examination..."

"Stop talking!" Gu Mingzhao looked sad and closed his eyes: "I studied hard for several years just for this day, you... stop talking."

Wrong words again...

Liao Qinglan wished she could sew her mouth shut.

Gu Mingzhao's head tilted inward, as if he was asleep. Liao Qinglan called him softly twice, but there was no response.

She thought that it was probably because of the pain that she fainted again.

Seeing beads of sweat still on Gu Mingzhao's forehead and the handkerchief he had just used stained with blood and could no longer be used, she had no choice but to take out her own handkerchief from her bosom and gently wipe his face.

Although his leg bones were reconnected, his body was still terribly hot, so Liao Qinglan wet the handkerchief and put it on his forehead.

The sweet porridge was cooked quickly. Liao Qinglan did not ask the person who served the porridge to wake up Gu Mingzhao. She walked outside and whispered, "Send him another bowl of hot porridge after he wakes up."

"Yes."

"What's your name?" Liao Qinglan asked.

"My servant Xing'er."

Liao Qinglan said, "Xing'er, from now on you will serve Master Gu exclusively. If he needs anything, just tell me. If I'm not here, ask Jinxiu. If anything happens to Master Gu, you will be the only one to ask."

"I will definitely take good care of Master Gu and will never neglect him." Xing'er thought that the eldest lady was worried that this matter would be exposed and would affect the young master's imperial examination, so she made repeated assurances.

Liao Qinglan looked back at him again, and seeing that he showed no signs of waking up, she went back first.

"Miss, you are so nice to Mr. Gu!" Jinxiu couldn't help but sigh.

"Is this a good idea? His leg was injured in the Liao Mansion. Now that I know about this, I will definitely not sit idly by." Liao Qinglan said calmly.

Jinxiu not only praised her own young lady in her heart for her beauty and kindness.

After Liao Qinglan returned, she locked herself in the Buddhist temple and knelt in front of the Buddha.

Since God has given her a chance to start over, she must not let the tragedy of the past happen again.

After the change of dynasties in the previous life, the court had changed drastically. Prime Minister Liao became a treacherous prime minister, and the virtuous queen became a demon. It was Gu Mingzhao who went against all odds and saved the lives of the entire Liao family.

"Gu Mingzhao, even though you only wanted to crush the Liao family's dignity in your previous life, you saved my family after all. Now I'm giving you a leg back. I hope you can be safe and sound in this life, and we can be safe too."
