The Changning Marquis's Mansion was kind and invited a highly skilled doctor to provide Xiuzhu with timely treatment.

While in a coma, Xiuzhu had a fever all night, but the fever subsided the next morning, saving her life.

The maids who were originally ready to make a move became as quiet as chickens, and no longer dared to have any sexy thoughts.

Gu Xiling just sent a maid to take care of Xiuzhu, she didn't go.

When she paid her respects to Mrs. Song, the wife of Marquis Changning, she requested to go to Jinguang Temple to pay her respects to the old lady of the Marquis Changning Mansion who was worshiping Buddha.

Mrs. Song thought that since the wedding, her daughter-in-law and son had not paid respects to her, so she should go and visit them. "There are too many mundane things in the mansion, and I have no time to pay respects to the old lady. Xiling, if you miss the old lady, then go. Bring a few more guards."

"Thank you, mother." Gu Xiling lowered her eyes and responded, "Mother has worked hard for me and the prince, and grandmother has prayed for us. Xiling is grateful and will definitely be filial to mother and grandmother."

"You are thoughtful." The wife of Marquis Changning smiled and wanted to persuade Gu Xiling to give in, but when she thought about her son's anger yesterday and that he was probably still mad, she had to give up.

Back at Zizhu Garden, Gu Xiling asked Nanny Yuan to put the luggage on the carriage, "Nanny Yuan, pack the luggage for the prince as well."

Nanny Yuan was stunned, with a suspicious look on her face, "The prince didn't say he wanted to go to Jinguang Temple!"

"I will go, Ma'am, just pack it up." Gu Xiling was confident that she had finally waited for a good opportunity. Whether she could break the ice with Zhou Jin depended on whether today went smoothly.

Although Zhou Jin did not go back to Zizhuyuan to sleep, a lot of clothes were prepared for him here.

Although Nanny Yuan was puzzled, she did as the Crown Prince's wife said.

Half an hour later, Gu Xiling got on the carriage heading for Jinguang Temple. Xiulan and Nanny Yuan were still sitting on both sides of the carriage, looking at each other.

Gu Xiling said to the driver, "Let's go to the palace gate and wait for the prince."

"Ah?" Nanny Yuan exclaimed, even more confused, "Madam, the prince can only leave for work in the afternoon. It's only 2:45 pm now, and the prince is still on duty. How could he leave the palace?"

Gu Xiling smiled mysteriously, "The secret cannot be revealed, we just have to wait!"

The coachman followed Gu Xiling's instructions and drove the carriage to a place not far from the palace gate.

Nanny Yuan and the coachman were outside, staring at the palace gate.

Lai Fu, as Zhou Jin's long-time attendant, always stood guard at the palace gate, ready to serve Zhou Jin at any time.

At this time, Lai Fu also discovered the carriage of the Changning Marquis's Mansion, and saw Madam Yuan, "Madam Yuan, is there something going on in the mansion?"

Just as Nanny Yuan was about to explain, Gu Xiling's voice came from the carriage, "Laifu, go to the palace gate now. If you see the prince coming out, tell him immediately that there is something going on at the Jinguang Temple. Remember, don't delay."

Lai Fu's pupils shrank slightly, "Could it be the old lady..."

"Don't talk nonsense." Gu Xiling scolded. She lifted the curtain on the carriage window, "Laifu, if the prince asks the reason, I will tell him personally. Hurry up and guard the palace gate."

Lai Fu saw the serious expression on the Crown Prince's wife's face, and her eyes were like sharp swords, which frightened him so much that his heart and liver trembled. "Yes, Crown Prince's wife."

Lai Fu trotted to the palace gate, his chubby face flushed and he was panting.

Before he had time to rest, Lai Fu saw the palace gate open and several guards escorted a few young officials out.

Among them was Zhou Jin, who was wearing a green robe. His eyes were full of anger and he wanted to argue with the guards.

Making noise at the palace gate is a crime, but the prince cannot be allowed to quarrel at the palace gate, let alone "compose a poem" at the palace gate.

Lai Fu was so scared that sweat broke out on his forehead. He remembered what the Crown Prince's wife had said, "Crown Prince, it's bad. Something happened at the Jinguang Temple."

Zhou Jin was extremely angry. Just as he was about to express his dissatisfaction and denounce the royal relatives for corruption and abuse of power, which had caused the people to live in misery and the country to be on the verge of collapse, he heard the loud shouts of his personal attendant and was stunned.

Jinguang Temple?

Isn’t that where my grandmother worships Buddha?

At this time, Zhou Jin no longer cared about corrupt officials and royal relatives? How could these be compared to his loving grandmother?

"Go to Jinguang Temple immediately!" Zhou Jin looked anxious, worried about his elderly grandmother. He grabbed his robe and strode towards the carriage.

Zhou Jin got on the carriage and urged the driver to get to Jinguang Temple as soon as possible.

Gu Xiling had been looking out of the carriage window, and when she saw Lai Fu lead Zhou Jin to the carriage in time, she said to the driver, "Catch up with the prince's carriage!"

Zhou Jin was filled with anxiety, and his mind was filled with his grandmother's kind voice and smile.

After leaving the city, Zhou Jin gradually calmed down and looked at Lai Fu, "Grandma, what happened? Lai Fu, tell me quickly."

"Your servant...Your servant didn't know. This was what the Crown Prince's wife asked me to say." Lai Fu shrank his fat head. "And the Crown Prince's wife had something to do at Jinguang Temple, so she didn't say it was something. I just saw the Crown Prince being escorted by the guards, and I panicked and said the wrong thing!"

"Gu Xiling?" Zhou Jin was stunned, squinting his eyes slightly, his eyes sharp, "Where did she tell you that?"

"It's right at the palace gate." Lai Fu answered in a low voice. He leaned his head out of the window and saw the carriage of the Crown Prince's wife behind him. "The Crown Prince's wife is right behind."

Hearing this, Zhou Jin gritted his teeth, his face stern, "Stop the car!"

The coachman outside didn't understand what was going on, but when the prince asked him to stop, he immediately tightened the reins, the horse neighed, and took a dozen steps forward before coming to a complete stop.

Zhou Jinyu's face was cold. He forcefully opened the carriage curtain, jumped off lightly, and angrily walked to Gu Xiling's carriage.

The driver behind saw the car in front stop and immediately stopped as well.

Nanny Yuan and Xiulan in the carriage were not mentally prepared and fell all over the place.

Only Gu Xiling held on to the carriage with both hands, her body swaying slightly.

"Get down!" Zhou Jin's voice came from outside the carriage.

Nanny Yuan and Xiulan were stunned. The prince was angry!

Gu Xiling was calm and collected. "Madame Yuan, Xiulan, go to the carriage in front!"

"Yes, Madam Crown Prince." Nanny Yuan agreed.

Xiulan thought of Xiuzhu who was beaten to pieces, and was worried that the prince would beat Miss Xiling, "Madam, I will serve you."

Gu Xiling gently patted Xiulan, who was shaking with fear but still wanted to protect her, and chuckled, "Don't worry, the prince will be so happy to see me, why would he hit me?"

"Haha!" Zhou Jin outside heard Gu Xiling's words and sneered twice. How dare she curse her grandmother? Did she really think he was a gentleman and would not hit anyone?

Xiulan became even more frightened when she heard Zhou Jin's sneer.

Gu Xiling chuckled, "Go down, don't keep the prince waiting for too long!"

Seeing that Miss Xiling was calm and not afraid at all, Xiulan breathed a sigh of relief and got off the carriage.

Zhou Jin stepped onto the carriage with his long legs, opened the curtain, got in, and then lowered the curtain.

Xiulan stood beside the carriage with tears in her eyes.

"Go to Jinguang Temple!" Zhou Jin's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, and his eyes fell on Gu Xiling's face.

The coachman drove the horse and continued forward.

Nanny Yuan had no choice but to pull Xiulan to the carriage in front.

At this moment, Gu Xiling's face was gentle and her eyes met Zhou Jin's.

"Why did you curse your grandmother?" Zhou Jin's eyes were cold. He felt that the Changning Marquisate was too kind to Gu Xiling, allowing her to speak without restraint and act lawless.
