The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.

Gu Mingzhao gently rolled up Liao Qinglan's trouser legs, revealing the bloody wound.

He took the kettle he had just found from the side and poured out clean water to rinse it.

The cool water washed away the blood and dirt on her legs.

After rinsing, Gu Mingzhao took out an exquisite porcelain bottle from his arms.

When he opened the bottle cap, a faint herbal fragrance wafted into his nose. He poured out some light yellow powder and sprinkled it on Liao Qinglan's legs.

Gu Mingzhao's movements were gentle and patient. While applying the medicine, he comforted Liao Qinglan: "Don't be afraid, it will be fine soon."

His voice was deep and pleasant, and seemed to have magical power, which gradually calmed Liao Qinglan's panic and uneasiness.

After applying the medicine, Gu Mingzhao took out the bandage and bandaged her wound with a focused expression.

This was the first time she was cared for so gently by Gu Mingzhao, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

In the past, when Gu Mingzhao grabbed her legs, his next step would be to ravage her.

She reflexively wanted to shrink back, but was held down by Gu Mingzhao.

"Don't move, it's not bandaged yet."

Gu Mingzhao's voice was gentle and his tone was unquestionable.

She looked away and no longer paid attention to what Mingzhao was doing.

The porcelain bottle that Gu Mingzhao used to apply medicine to her was placed beside the bed.

She felt that it looked familiar.

"This powder..."

Gu Mingzhao looked up and said casually, "This is the best medicine for wounds."

Liao Qinglan's heart was in turmoil.

This was the medicine I sent to Gu Mingzhao when he was imprisoned in the Dali Temple prison.

She clearly remembered that Gu Mingzhao kept a distance from her and did not accept the bottle of medicine.

But now it appears here, and is carried close to Gu Mingzhao's body.

Liao Qinglan secretly hid the medicine bottle in her sleeve and pretended to sleep.

Gu Mingzhao covered her with a quilt and then sat beside the bed.

Liao Qinglan could feel his gaze lingering on her, and was too nervous to open her eyes.

The tired body couldn't hold on any longer, and while pretending, I actually fell asleep.

When she woke up again, it was already evening.

Gu Mingzhao woke her up.

Liao Qinglan rubbed her sleepy eyes, still not fully awake.

They had been together day and night for five years. When she suddenly woke up and saw Gu Mingzhao, she thought she had not been reborn and was still in the palace.

She held the hand that disturbed her sweet dream, put it under her head, and said coquettishly: "A Zhao, let me sleep a little longer."

The intimate and familiar tone made Gu Mingzhao's whole body freeze.

He looked down at her.

Her eyes closed again, her long eyelashes casting a faint shadow on her cheeks.

His hand was still resting on her head, and he could clearly feel the softness and warmth of her face.

It was as natural as if they were a couple who had been together for many years.

Gu Mingzhao couldn't help but feel confused.

What does she mean?

She had clearly rejected him before and had been deliberately distancing herself from him.

Why are you suddenly so intimate again?

He felt like he should be angry.

Angry at her fickleness.

I was angry that she was playing with me in her hands.

But looking at her face, I couldn't get angry at all.

On the contrary, a strong desire spread in my heart, wanting to hold her tightly in my arms.

He was reluctant to pull his hand away until he could faintly hear the sounds of searching outside, then he reluctantly woke up Liao Qinglan again.

"I've burned some dead leaves at the door. Someone should be here soon. If you keep doing this, someone will see you."

Liao Qinglan woke up suddenly and saw Gu Mingzhao sitting beside the bed, feeling panicked.

She hurriedly sat up, tidied her messy clothes and hair, and then said, "Thank you, Your Highness, the Prince of Qin, for staying here to take care of me. You can go back first. I will wait here by myself."

His Highness the King of Qin?

Gu Mingzhao raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "You were calling me 'Ah Zhao' just now, but now you are being so distant. You really change your attitude faster than turning the pages of a book."

Liao Qinglan realized that she had just spoken out of turn.

Gu Mingzhao never allowed himself to call him "Your Majesty".

In his words, who knows whether she is calling Li Jin or him.

She still remembered the first time she went to beg Gu Mingzhao to spare her family when Gu Mingzhao had just ascended the throne.

The cold-blooded man asked her to strip naked and climb onto the dragon bed to serve him.

The body, which had not experienced love for a long time, could not withstand the sudden attack.

She couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, it hurts..."

What he got in return was a more violent possession of her.

Gu Mingzhao's eyes were bloodshot, and he asked more and more fiercely each time, "Look again, who am I?"

She called them all, Gu Mingzhao, Master Gu, Mingzhao, and Azhao.

Later, after spending a long time together, she figured out that Gu Mingzhao liked to hear her call him "A Zhao", so she always called him that in private.

These memories flooded into Liao Qinglan's mind like a tide. She became a little angry and pushed Gu Mingzhao.

"You should leave quickly."

Gu Mingzhao thought she was cute when she was shy and wanted to tease her some more, so he sat there motionless.

"I am also tired and cannot walk."

Liao Qinglan sighed helplessly and said, "Forget it if you don't leave. I'm just afraid that others will see His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin and me together, which will hurt the hearts of countless girls in the capital."

This sounds a bit like jealousy.

Gu Mingzhao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and smiled dotingly: "You can let me go, but shouldn't you return my things that you took?"

Liao Qinglan nervously pinched the porcelain bottle in her sleeve and pretended to be dumbfounded: "What is it? I don't know."

Gu Mingzhao leisurely stretched out his hand and said, "My medicine bottle."

Liao Qinglan's eyes flickered, and she pretended to know nothing: "I didn't see it."

Gu Mingzhao smiled slightly and said calmly, "Do you want to take it out yourself, or do you want me to search you?"

Liao Qinglan looked at him in surprise. Why was this man becoming more and more shameless?

"That's my medicine bottle!" She couldn't help but raise her voice.

"But it was given to me by the person I like." Gu Mingzhao whispered with a smile in her ear.

When Liao Qinglan heard his words, her face turned red.

Damn it! He teased me again!

Why didn't I realize he was so eloquent before?

The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer, and it felt like the cabin would be discovered at any moment.

Seeing that Gu Mingzhao was determined to get the medicine bottle, she quickly took out the medicine bottle from her sleeve and threw it to Gu Mingzhao angrily.

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't let anyone find you!" she urged.

Gu Mingzhao looked at her angry expression and thought she looked like an angry kitten, which was very cute.

Seeing that the kitten would show its claws if he teased it any longer, Gu Mingzhao climbed out of the back window to avoid the searching crowd.

He had no intention of staying.

Public opinion coercion is undoubtedly the fastest and most effective way to force Liao Qinglan to marry him.

But he knew how much harm this method would cause to Liao Qinglan.

Especially in the current situation, there were already some unclear rumors between Liao Qinglan and Wang Tingzhi.

If he were included, one could imagine how Liao Qinglan would be arranged.

People did not dare to criticize Wang Tingzhi as an imperial censor, and they dared not talk about him as a prince.

All they can say is that Liao Qinglan is fickle.

His girl is the best woman in the world and deserves to be treated gently by the whole world.

He was unwilling and reluctant to let her reputation be damaged because of him.

One day, he would hold her hand openly and let the whole world know that Liao Qinglan belonged to him, Gu Mingzhao.
