She carefully took off her clothes and got into bed, but she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

She had slept on Zheng Dinglian's back all afternoon, and she was not sleepy at all. But at this moment, the bedding was full of his scent, which made her feel uneasy.

But she didn't dare move. The tent was so small that he could hear the slightest movement clearly. Therefore, she could only try to remain calm and try not to move.

Zheng Dinglian had an extremely sharp hearing, and every breath she took was like a breeze blowing past, which could not escape his ears. He realized that she had not yet fallen asleep, so he gave up the steps towards the bed. However, he really couldn't calm down and do anything else, so he kept a silent wait in front of the desk.

In this way, the two of them confronted each other silently until the night fell deep, when Gu Qinlan finally couldn't resist the fatigue and fell into a sleep between half asleep and half awake.

After Zheng Dinglian confirmed that she was asleep, he carefully approached the bed, gently took off his outer clothes, and then quietly got into bed.

Normally, once he lay down, he would fall into a deep sleep in an instant. But tonight, he could not fall asleep no matter what.

He lay stiffly on the bed, afraid that any movement would disturb her peace. However, he did not feel it was a torture.

With a light sniff of her nose, I could smell the faint fragrance emanating from her body, and hear her even and gentle breathing. With a slight turn of the head, I could see her peaceful sleeping face.

This feeling is hard to describe in words, but Zheng Dinglian's heart is filled with peace and joy.

Although they still seemed strangers to each other, it seemed that only she could give him this kind of peace of mind.

Zheng Dinglian stared at her, savoring the emotion until the morning light quietly arrived.

When Gu Qinlan woke up, Zheng Dinglian was no longer in the tent.

She looked at the empty space next to her. The bed sheets were as smooth as water. She mistakenly thought that Zheng Dinglian had not gone to bed last night, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Girl, is it time to get up?"

Fu Yu's voice came through the curtain.

Gu Qinlan responded.

Fu Yu walked into the tent and carefully helped Gu Qinlan get up and wash.

"Miss, I heard that the prince has a female doctor named Meiyun. I observed her and felt that she was quite scheming."

Gu Qinlan said nonchalantly, "The prince told me about her life story last night. Her brother died heroically on the battlefield, and she asked the prince to take care of her."

She believed what Zheng Dinglian said.

In her previous life, she had vaguely heard of Mei's background. Her brother died on the battlefield after blocking a fatal blow for Zheng Dinglian, so Zheng Dinglian treated her with great courtesy.

But Zheng Dinglian did not mention these last night, and his attitude towards Mei Yun also seemed indifferent, which made Gu Qinlan guess that perhaps the situation in this life has changed.

While they were talking, the curtain was suddenly lifted, and a figure rushed in swiftly, followed by a bang in front of Gu Qinlan.

"Madam, I have something to ask of you. I beg you to lend a hand."

The person who came was Mei Yun mentioned just now.

Gu Qinlan signaled Fu Yu to help her up quickly.

But Meiyun refused Fuyu's help: "If Madam doesn't agree to help me, I won't get up."

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly: "Miss Mei, are you threatening me?"

Mei Yun bit her lip: "I don't dare, I just..."

Gu Qinlan interrupted her: "You say you don't dare, but your behavior is quite presumptuous. Miss Mei and I have never met before, I don't know how I can help you. If Miss Mei insists on not getting up, then it's up to you. Fu Yu, let's go have breakfast first."

After saying that, Gu Qinlan took Fu Yu and walked out.

Mei Yun did not expect Gu Qinlan to respond like this, and hurriedly said, "Madam, please ask the prince for mercy. I don't want to be transferred to the capital. I want to stay in the military camp here."

Gu Qinlan looked at her calmly and said, "I'm sorry, but I can't do you this favor. Since you are a soldier, I am a woman, so how can I have the right to interfere in military affairs?"

Seeing that Gu Qinlan was determined to leave, Mei Yun quickly knelt down in front of her and pleaded, "Madam, you can definitely do it. The general will definitely listen to your advice. Please help me, I really don't want to leave here. By the way, I still have to stay to treat Miss Luo Feng's injuries. She is seriously injured and ordinary military doctors are not competent for it."

Gu Qinlan still stuck to her position and refused to give in easily.

Although she still couldn't figure out why Zheng Dinglian wanted to transfer Meiyun to the capital, her intuition told her that Meiyun wanted to stay in the military camp, or more precisely, she wanted to stay with Zheng Dinglian.

Since she arrived at this land last night, Meiyun has silently revealed her thoughts through her behavior.

She deliberately showed her unique status in Zheng Dinglian's eyes in front of Gu Qinlan.

Fortunately, Zheng Dinglian's reaction satisfied Gu Qinlan.

He demonstrated his respect and importance for his commitments through practical actions.

Although she didn't know how long Zheng Dinglian's determination could last, she had no intention of testing him.

After a night of deep thought, she finally figured it out. Since Zheng Dinglian was willing to give her such a promise, she might as well believe him once.

However, she would no longer devote all her energy to a man and help him reach the pinnacle of his career at all costs, as she did in her previous life.

She plans to invest all her resources in herself.

Only when she becomes truly strong, even if Zheng Dinglian breaks his promise one day, she will have enough confidence and ability to turn around and leave.

As for whether Zheng Dinglian would be as ungrateful as Ji Yinli, she believed that Zheng Dinglian was not that kind of person.

After thinking this through, Gu Qinlan quickly adjusted her mindset.

"Miss Meiyun, the prince and I are grateful for your saving Luo Feng, but since the prince has decided to let you go to the capital, there must be a reason behind it. As his wife, I have no right to interfere with his decision."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Qinlan turned around and was about to leave.

Mei Yun suddenly put aside all her worries and cried loudly: "Madam, I love the prince deeply and only want to stay by his side and serve him. Please have mercy and make it happen."

Gu Qinlan's footsteps came to an abrupt halt.

Fu Yu was so angry that his face turned blue. He scolded in a low voice: "How dare you say such shameless words? It's really shameless! Get out now, don't dirty my wife's eyes!"

Normally, Fu Yu always affectionately called Gu Qinlan "girl", but at this moment, in order to highlight Gu Qinlan's status, she couldn't help but change her words, her tone full of anger.

Mei Yun gritted her teeth and said resolutely: "I can't care about so many things anymore. Madam, before my brother died, he entrusted me to the prince, and he promised to take good care of me."

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly: "Since it is his promise, then you should go find him. What he promised has nothing to do with me."

Mei Yun raised her head and looked at Gu Qinlan firmly: "Because you are his wife, as a wife, you should help your husband with household chores. The prince values ​​promises, and since he has promised our country, he will definitely not abandon me. However, the prince also values ​​etiquette, and he will not accept me over you."
