The Rebirth of an Orphan

When the two of them got in the car, the light was a little dim. Gu Lun raised his hand and stroked Zhao Xihua's cheek, and asked with a distressed look: "Hua'er, does it hurt?"

Gu Lun's fingertips were a little cold, which made Zhao Xihua's heart jump. She quickly turned her face away: "Thank you, it doesn't hurt. How much strength can a child have?"

Gu Lun said, "What kind of child is Gu Yayu? She is only a few years younger than you. If that's the case, then you are also a child in my eyes?"

Zhao Xihua laughed out loud, but then felt something was strange, so he immediately stopped smiling and regained his usual calm expression.

But in Gu Lun's eyes, her fleeting smile was like the brightest star in the sky, so bright and breathtaking.

Gu Lun now regrets his original promise. Since he married her, she is his legal wife. Why can't they be together?

He said in a hoarse voice, "If you really care about me, how about letting me stay with you tonight?"

But Zhao Xihua sneered, "If you insist on doing this, I can't do anything about it, but I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the consequences."

Zhao Xihua showed her slender fingertips, which were actually holding a cluster of light blue silver needles. It was obvious that it was not a simple thing.

Gu Lun smiled happily, "Hua'er is so fierce and aggressive, I dare not disobey you, hehe..."

They joked all the way like this and soon returned to the Dongyuan villa where they lived. After taking a bath in the evening, Zhao Xihua carried a quilt and went straight to the small bed in the suite at the side. Gu Lun was tall, so it was not suitable for him to sleep there, but it was very suitable for Zhao Xihua to sleep there.

Not long after, Zhao Xihua fell asleep. Gu Lun, who was flipping through a book in the room, put it down, walked to the small bed and looked at the sleeping Zhao Xihua.

The delicate little face was hidden in the quilt, which wiped away her usual neatness but showed a little more feminine charm. However, her long and thin eyebrows were tightly twisted together, and she seemed to be trapped in some kind of nightmare and could not be woken up no matter what.

Gu Lun felt a little distressed. What on earth had this girl been through that she could stretch herself like a fully drawn bow even in her dreams?

Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, Gu Lun picked her up from the small bed and carried her sideways. Then he walked to the big bed and put her on it. After calming himself down, he pulled the quilt over her.

He leaned over and gently placed a kiss on her smooth and cool forehead, then turned and walked out of the room and into the study next door.

There was a person waiting in the study. It was Deng Xiao, the son of the Deng family. He was dressed in white but did not look like a scholar. His casual demeanor made him seem a bit like a gangster.

"Brother Gu, something happened up there." Deng Xiao said nervously.

"Say—" Gu Lun sat on the chair, leaning his head back. It was obvious that he was somewhat dissatisfied with Deng Xiao for coming to disturb the time he and Zhao Xihua were spending together.

Deng Xiao could also see his emotions, but he just sighed secretly. He didn't want to come over to disturb them, but such a big thing had happened, he had to come.

Deng Xiao lowered his voice and said, "The Fourth Prince has invited many famous doctors to come to his home for treatment in the past few days, and has killed three doctors in a row."

"Heh," Gu Lun laughed, "Who can cure the poison given by the Medicine King Valley? Unless it's a god in heaven?"

Then he turned to look at Deng Xiao, "You didn't come to bother me just for this, did you?"

Deng Xiao suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and dared not say anything more, continuing in a low voice: "In fact, it was nothing for the fourth brother to kill those doctors, but who would have thought that this time he would kill a Chinese medicine doctor from Huichun Valley, and then he was summoned to the Presidential Palace by the Queen Mother and severely scolded. Don't you think this is a bit strange?"

Gu Lun frowned. Someone from Huichun Valley?

Forty years ago, the Queen Mother was the second wife of the previous president. She had not been pregnant for three years after marrying into the presidential palace. Later, she hired a famous doctor to help her with her recovery. Unexpectedly, she soon gave birth to the current president. With the help of her son, and the Queen Mother's superb skills, she rose to prominence.

It is said that Hua Weizhou, the master of Huichun Valley and the world's number one doctor who helped Queen Mother Wang, died tragically for unknown reasons.

Twenty years later, his fellow apprentice Hua Wu Yu came to Kyoto with two disciples, but he unexpectedly suffered the same tragic end.

Because Hua Wu Yu was related to the death of the biological mother of the ninth prince, the current president's favorite, the president ordered the destruction of Huichun Valley and the killing of Hua Wu Yu, and even his two apprentices were killed.

It is said that when Hua Wuyu's apprentice Hua Zilin first arrived in Kyoto, he amazed all the rich ladies in the city. Hua Zilin was kind-hearted and dedicated to saving people. His medical ethics and character were highly praised by all the people in Kyoto. Later, he had a love-hate relationship with the famous owner of Qinghonglou.

However, twenty years have passed, and those people have disappeared without a trace, as if they had been wiped out from this world.

Deng Xiao looked at Gu Lun's slowly cooling face and said, "Brother Gu, I heard that Caiyun who is imprisoned in Yuncheng Ning'an Courtyard is also from Huichun Valley? And... and... this woman has become the master of the young mistress."

Deng Xiao didn't know what to say, but he still continued, "The Ninth Prince knew that his mother's death was related to the people in the Rejuvenation Valley, and the Queen Mother also protected the people in the Rejuvenation Valley. She didn't like the Ninth Prince and always favored the Third Prince. I don't know what's going on with the Rejuvenation Valley. The Ninth Prince has been investigating this matter recently..."

Gu Lun looked up at Deng Xiao and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

The Deng family took refuge with the Ninth Prince, and after Deng Xiao had been dealing with Gu Lun for a long time, he felt a little scared of him and thought that this man was like an evil spirit.

He mustered up his courage and said to Gu Lun, "Brother Gu, I am worried about one thing. If one day the Ninth Prince completely destroys Huichun Valley in order to avenge his mother's death, how will you choose between the Ninth Prince and the Young Mistress?"

Gu Lun frowned and said slowly: @If there really comes a day like that, I will naturally... stand on the side of my woman. His Highness doesn't sleep in the same bed with me. "

Poof! Deng Xiao was so surprised that he spat out all the water in his mouth. He pointed at Gu Lun and couldn't say anything for a long time. He didn't know what kind of magic potion Zhao Xihua had given Gu Lun to make him so bewildered.

"Then, are you going to keep the relationship between Zhao Xihua and Huichun Valley a secret from His Highness?"

Gu Lun didn't say anything but thought to himself, even if His Highness the Ninth Prince knew about Hua'er's relationship with Huichun Valley, what would it matter? She had saved His Highness' life.

If the day really comes when a decision needs to be made, Gu Lun will make his own arrangements.
