Quick Wear: Who said soft girls have to be obedient! biu!

A few days later, Gu Fan's small restaurant opened, and Gu Zhen's clinic also opened on the same day.

"Yanhuo Renjia" and "Sui'an Tang" are right next to each other. Their storefronts are not big, but their locations are good, as they are located on the busiest street.

The rent is also ridiculously high.

After Gu Zhen and Gu Fan purchased all the necessities, they had little money left. Fortunately, General Liu's wife knew about their relationship with the prince and sent them a generous gift when they opened the business.

Fifty taels of silver.

Money is nothing. What is important is that in Longhe Town, Madam Liu represents the General's Mansion. Her appearance makes those colleagues who have bad intentions no longer dare to cause trouble.

Gu Zhen hung Yin Ling's calligraphy on the wall of the restaurant so that it can be seen as soon as you enter the door.

The small seal in the lower right corner is a life-saving talisman.

This is connections!

After several months of transition, the business is back on track.

Yanhuo Renjia is an ordinary restaurant. Gu Fan and Wei Fengrong hired an auntie to wash dishes in the kitchen and a smart boy to serve as a waiter. The rest of the work is completely done by the two of them.

In Sui'an Hall next door, there are only Gu Zhen and Si Qin.

Mrs. Liu helped them to set up a household and sent the children to school for enlightenment. Once they learned to read and write, they could continue their studies or learn a craft; Gu Zhen did not restrict them.

On this day, Gu Zhen was alone in the clinic. She had just taken the pulse of a lady. The lady had a serious gynecological disease and refused to see a male doctor. She heard that a female doctor with outstanding medical skills had come to Longhe Town recently, so she came here to see her.

Gu Zhen prescribed some medicine for her and reminded her of some precautions. After the lady left, Si Qin arrived soon after.

He went to purchase medicinal materials, became familiar with some merchants, and learned some information.

"Ah Zhen, there's news from the capital that the Third Prince's mother, Concubine Jia, was sentenced to death, and the Third Prince was demoted to a commoner. This matter has caused a huge uproar, and there are all kinds of rumors."

Gu Zhen poured him some water and wiped the sweat off Si Qin's forehead with a handkerchief: "Speak slowly, there's no rush to do anything, why are you running so fast?"

Si Qin laughed foolishly a few times, causing Gu Zhen to roll her eyes.

"You were always wondering when the prince would come, so I rushed back to tell you as soon as I heard the news."

Gu Zhen was angry at him, it was all for the agreed reward! Otherwise why would she be so anxious!

Si Qin drank up the water in his cup. "There are many different opinions, but one thing is basically certain. The Crown Prince and Master Ning investigated something in the North. They probably didn't have time to say goodbye to us, so they rushed back to the capital without stopping."

Yin Ling was assassinated many times and his itinerary was leaked. There must be a traitor. After investigation, they found that it was the third prince's maternal family who was behind the scenes.

The third prince's mother's family actually colluded with the barbarians, intending to murder the crown prince and stir up disputes between the two countries. They planned to reap the benefits while taking advantage of internal and external troubles.

"But the third prince is only nine years old this year, right?" There is also a second prince above him, so Gu Zhen felt that it would not be his turn.

"There are not many people left in the Second Prince's mother's family. The Third Prince and his men might want to put a shield in front." Although the prince is young, he cannot resist the ambition of the people behind him.

Gu Zhen also wanted to understand the key.

The barbarians can enter and leave the heartland of the Central Plains at will and massacre the people wantonly. There must be someone helping them behind the scenes.

Brothers are killing each other, no wonder the emperor is furious.

Even though this matter might have nothing to do with the young Third Prince, for the sake of the future, His Majesty had to deal with the Third Prince.

"Colluding with foreign tribes is a crime punishable by the execution of all nine generations of the clan. I heard that the Third Prince was able to survive because of the Crown Prince's plea for mercy."

Si Qin sighed, sitting in the position of the crown prince, if he was too cruel he would be criticized, if he was too kind he might let the tiger go back to the mountain. However, in the heart of the emperor, he probably didn't want to see his sons killing each other. If the crown prince didn't plead for mercy, he would appear cold-hearted.

"There is one more thing. The prince will personally lead the troops to the north. This will be the final battle with the barbarians. We will have to go to war soon."

Unlike the small fights that have occurred one after another in recent days, Yin Ling's personal expedition is equivalent to the emperor's going to war, and its importance is self-evident.

Gu Zhen believed in the strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After holding out for so many years and eradicating the cancer, they would definitely be able to hold the defense line of Longhe Town.

......

When the weather in Longhe Town turned hot, the army finally arrived.

Gu Zhen met Yin Ling after closing the shop one day.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked exhausted, and he must have rushed to see her without even changing his clothes. Gu Zhen smiled at him, and Yin Ling's heart suddenly calmed down.

Yin Ling followed her into the clinic.

"It looks like you did. On my way here, I heard someone mention Sui'an Hall. They said there was a famous female doctor in Long'an Town. She was beautiful and kind. I knew it was you."

Gu Zhen was very modest and even said he didn't dare.

Yin Ling laughed at her and said she had changed.

"I'm here to fulfill my promise," Yin Ling pulled out a stack of papers from his bosom, "This is the land deed. I'll buy the yard you rented and the three-story yard next to it and give them to you. These two shops will also be yours after the formalities are completed."

In addition, there was real gold and silver, which was delivered the next day.

Gu Zhen felt a little embarrassed by his generosity, but this was the Crown Prince, and saving his life was priceless, so in the end, Yin Ling made the profit.

She took it without hesitation: "Then I would like to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the reward."

Gu Zhen pulled gently, but it didn't move.

She looked over in confusion and found that Yin Ling was looking at her with a deep gaze, which was filled with deep meaning that she could not understand and did not want to understand.

Gu Zhen pretended to be cheerful: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, are you going to regret it?"

Yin Ling smiled lightly and let go of her hand, but the next second she suddenly took two steps closer, only a fist away from Gu Zhen.

Gu Zhen stepped back and leaned against the counter. Yin Ling looked at her solemnly and followed her. "I'm going to the battlefield. Are you...are you worried about me?"

During the months of separation, he thought about Gu Zhen all the time, her bright smile, her courage and tenacity.

No woman had ever made him so worried.

When leaving the North, he had planned to say goodbye, but the situation was urgent at that time and it was not safe for him to be around. Yin Ling did not want to drag Gu Zhen down, so he left without saying goodbye.

Now that everything is over, he couldn't help but want to tell Gu Zhen what was in his heart.

Yin Ling's Adam's apple rolled and she lowered her voice: "Will it? Will you worry about me?"

Gu Zhen lowered her eyes, unable to respond to such a sentiment. After thinking for a while, she said, "As a citizen of the Great Zhou, I am naturally worried about Your Highness. I have no other requests but to hope that this battle will be a victory, that Your Highness and the soldiers can return safely, and that our Great Zhou can also be more peaceful."

Yin Ling felt a pain in his heart. He had understood what Gu Zhen meant. He opened his mouth but found that he could not speak.

The two were silent for a while, Yin Ling was still a little unwilling, "I want to know, is it because you don't like me, or because I am the prince?"

If it was just because of the difference in status, Yin Ling felt that she would feel better.
