Chapter 595 The Prince's White Moonlight Substitute (18)

After closing the door, Gu Zhen fumbled to drop the bolt, then he remembered that he was still wet and in a mess.

She couldn't change clothes in front of Cui Yan, right?

"Master Cui," Gu Zhen knew that he was a man of great courtesy and could be trusted, "could you please turn around? I want to change my clothes."

Cui Yan's face turned red and his heart was beating fast. He knew that Gu Zhen was not feeling well and was afraid that she might get bumped into something, so he took the initiative to come over and lead Gu Zhen to the bed.

"You change it, I won't peek." He took a clean cloth and placed it in Gu Zhen's palm.

Both of them were a little embarrassed and blushed. When Gu Zhen heard him turn around, she breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't wait to undress.

When she was in the palace, she would also learn to dress and undress by herself, not to mention that the original owner had always done it herself before.

Gu Zhen's body was sticky and uncomfortable, wet from inside to outside. However, the conditions were limited and she couldn't take a hot shower, so Gu Zhen had to endure it and wiped the water off her body with a cloth.

When Cui Yan heard the noise behind him, sweat started running down his forehead.

Gu Zhen encountered a problem at this time. She didn't know how to wear the dress. After some manipulation, she barely put it on. Gu Zhen touched it and made sure that no skin was exposed before calling Cui Yan to turn around.

Cui Yan turned around and couldn't help but smile.

The clothes were the style that ordinary farm ladies wore, but it was inconvenient for Gu Zhen, so she looked a little out of place in them. However, even so, her cloth skirt and hairpin did not hide her beauty.

Gu Zhen heard him laugh and became angry: "Am I wearing the wrong clothes? What are you laughing at!"

Seeing that she was anxious, Cui Yan quickly put away his smile and said, "Miss Gu, that's not what I meant."

Gu Zhen was "overwhelmed with sorrow" for a moment. A good person became blind and thought he had found a powerful figure, but ended up nearly losing his life. She was really tired. It didn't matter what she wore. No one could disturb her sleep!

"Hmph!" Gu Zhen felt the edge of the bed, climbed up, rolled, rolled to the innermost part, and felt relieved only when he touched the wall.

Cui Yan felt anxious, thinking that Gu Zhen was angry. He wanted to say something to make amends, but he saw her eyelids tremble, and she fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.

She was too tired tonight. Cui Yan stood beside the bed with a soft look in his eyes. He looked at Gu Zhen for a while. When he realized what he was doing, his face turned red to his ears.

Cui Yan looked at the ground and finally chose to sleep on the floor.

......

At daybreak, the elder brother who had taken them in knocked on their door.

Cui Yan opened his eyes immediately and moved his stiff hands and feet. He felt suffocated and his internal organs ached. He exhaled a breath and stood up with difficulty.

Gu Zhen was still sleeping, her long eyelashes moving, and she was not sleeping very soundly.

Her red lips were open and her breathing was heavy. Cui Yan's heart sank and he leaned down to touch her forehead.

It's too hot.

Cui Yan was anxious and picked up the person. They had to go to the clinic.

Gu Zhen was awakened by the shaking of the ox cart. She knew that she was leaning in Cui Yan's arms and was afraid of touching his wound. She struggled to sit up straight, but she had no strength in her body and her head was dizzy.

"You have a fever. Don't move. We will be able to go into the city soon." Cui Yan rested his chin on the top of her head and spoke in a soft voice.

Gu Zhen took her own pulse and found nothing serious. She then touched Cui Yan's wrist. Cui Yan let her go, but he felt warm in his heart.

"Find an inn to stay and get the medicine according to my prescription."

Cui Yan nodded and asked the elder brother to take them to find an inn. He borrowed paper and pen from the innkeeper, wrote down the medicine and went to get it conveniently.

Gu Zhen couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

I don’t know how long I slept. When I woke up, I felt refreshed and had changed into clean clothes from head to toe.

The hair was also scrubbed.

Gu Zhen felt weak, but she felt much better. She sat up and opened her mouth, only to find that her voice was hoarse.

"Master Cui, are you there?"

Cui Yan was writing something with a bowl of steaming medicine beside him. When he heard the noise, he immediately stood up to take a look.

"I'm here, Miss Gu, are you feeling better?"

Gu Zhen felt relieved when she heard his voice, and a smile appeared on her pale face: "I'm much better, Master Cui, have you taken the medicine? Do you feel better?"

Cui Yan was also convinced by Gu Zhen's medical skills. After drinking a bowl of the medicine, the pain in his body was relieved a lot. In addition, he had been practicing martial arts for many years and was in good health. Now, except for not being able to make strenuous movements, he was fine.

He helped Gu Zhen sit up: "I'm fine, but you've been running a fever. Take the medicine quickly."

Cui Yan brought the medicine over and fed it to Gu Zhen himself.

Gu Zhen finished the drink in small sips, her face wrinkled. Cui Yan smiled and stuffed a plum into her mouth: "I specially asked the waiter to buy it for you to relieve the bitterness."

"What time is it? Where is this?"

"It's just past the hour of You. You've slept all day. I'll ask someone to bring some food over," Cui Yan wiped her sweaty forehead. "This is Changping County, not far from Qing'an. When you get better, we'll go find them."

Cui Yan was very worried about her, fearing that she would be tired from traveling so long and her typhoid fever would not get better and would become a chronic disease.

Gu Zhen sweated and felt much better. "Who was that person last night? Master Cui, is it... related to the Third Prince?"

Cui Yan didn't expect her to be so sensitive. After thinking for a while, he told the truth: "I found the mark of the Wang family on their bodies. They are the assassins raised by the Wang family. The Wang family belongs to the second prince."

He had already written the letter and would send it to the capital city urgently later. He used a secret communication method so there was no need to worry about it being deciphered.

There must be a traitor around the Third Prince, who revealed his cooperation with Cui Yan to the Second Prince or Concubine Ning.

The affairs of the aristocratic families involve many things, and the Wang family must be the one that is unwilling to reform. Perhaps they have reached some agreement with the second prince to kill Cui Yan to eliminate future troubles.

This is Cui Yan's guess, but it is almost correct.

After listening to him, Gu Zhen felt a little guilty: "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have reached an agreement with the Third Prince right now."

He's fine in the story.

Gu Zhen felt uncomfortable seeing so many innocent people die.

Cui Yan smiled gently and held Gu Zhen's hand: "Don't blame yourself. This matter has nothing to do with you. The conflict between the aristocratic families and the royal family has a long history. Whether I express my stance now or surrender in the future, I will inevitably pay some price. Things have already happened, just face it."

Gu Zhen remained silent. Things were exactly as he said. Even though the third prince sought cooperation with the Cui family after he ascended the throne, the counterattack from the aristocratic family was so fierce.

The casualties caused are far from comparable to today.

The assassination attempt on Cui Yan served as a wake-up call to him and the third prince. Some things should be done slowly and one by one.

Gu Zhen felt better and smiled at Cui Yan. At this moment, she had the beauty of a sick Xi Shi. Her face was pale with a sickly blush, her black hair was fluffy and scattered on her shoulders. She was obedient and gentle. Although she couldn't see, when she looked at him, Cui Yan felt that Gu Zhen was very dependent on him.

Cui Yan was stunned, still holding Gu Zhen's delicate little hand.

This is really not what a gentleman does.

Cui Yan reacted suddenly and let go of Gu Zhen.

"I'll get you some food."
