Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

Hearing this, Lan Zhou subconsciously glanced towards Gu Qinghe, his eyes falling on the place where the bright red birthmark once stayed, which was now smooth.

There was no surprise in his eyes, he just nodded, "That's great."

Over the years, many people knew that Lan Yu was looking for his former playmates, especially those who were always paying attention to the two brothers.

So many people came up to the two of them and claimed to be An Ning.

Lan Yu looks like everyone and can get along with anyone.

But Lan Zhou exposed these people's disguises one by one.

Today's acting skills seem to be much more sophisticated than those of the past.

Gu Qinghe handed the potion to the servant, who quickly took it to the side room, presumably to use it immediately on the birthmark of Miss Aning.

Soon, the servant came out and whispered in Lan Zhou's ear.

But Gu Qinghe could vaguely guess from Lan Zhou's expression that the birthmark must not have disappeared.

……

When Lan Yu found An Ning, the smile on his face never faded. He even forgot about Ouyang Xia and only wanted to listen to An Ning telling him about her experiences over the years.

"In fact, I have always wanted to come back to Yun State over the years, but the experiences over the years have been really rough. When I went back with my father, I originally planned to take my mother to the capital to do business, but we encountered bandits on the way. Not only was our money robbed, but my family almost lost their lives. We finally survived and had to return to the town to start all over again."

"It's like starting over again. It's not that easy. After going through this hardship, Dad has become a little scared. He also feels that he is old and not as daring as he was when he was young."

"My father's business has not been doing well in recent years. I came here this time because I accompanied my father to Yun State to visit his old friends."

Ah Ning smiled very gently, and looked at Lan Yu with shyness in her eyes, "Your Highness has been looking for Ah Ning all these years, but do you miss each other as much as Ah Ning does?"

Ouyang Xia couldn't bear to listen any longer and rolled her eyes. She simply grabbed Gu Qinghe's hand and turned to the fish pond nearby to feed the fish.

Seeing this, Ming Sheng tactfully handed fish food to the two of them.

"Why," Gu Qinghe asked her, "Are you worried that this Miss An Ning has other intentions and her purpose for coming here is not simple?"

Ouyang Xia rolled his eyes and said, "What does it have to do with me? I'm just angry that I almost lost my life several times to protect him along the way, and this man was still tearful and looked at me with eyes that said I was the only one in the world who could be relied on. But now that Ah Ning showed up, did he look at me for even a moment?"

However, Ouyang Xia's anger faded quickly, and after a few words, he became happy again, "Will the Crown Prince's uncle be here tomorrow?"

Gu Qinghe nodded, "Probably."

"That's good." Ouyang Xia looked up at the moon and felt homesick for the first time in her life.

I miss my dad, my mom...and also miss Su Ji a little.

Early the next morning, the servants told him that the emperor's uncle had returned, and with him came the great prince Hu Xiang.

The two seemed to have gone to the palace, but the emperor's uncle had a very good relationship with the Lan Zhou brothers, and as soon as they came out of the palace, they went to the prince's mansion.

This imperial uncle actually looked very young, only three or four years older than Lan Zhou. He had a handsome face, was gentle and polite, and had just the right smile on his face. Unlike Wei Yanzhou's fake smile, his expression did not make people feel happy like a spring breeze.

As for the Great Prince of Huxiang Kingdom, it was Gu Qinghe who was somewhat surprised.

This is a very petite girl, not tall, petite and delicate, with a round baby face and deer-like round eyes, which makes people feel itchy.

Ouyang Xia covered his chest, looking like he was struck, "Why is it that every time I hear the name Huxiang, I subconsciously imagine the women of Huxiang as being big and strong?"

Gu Qinghe also felt a little guilty, and quickly shook off the stereotype in his mind and cleared his throat, "Maybe it's because I'm in a place where men are the most powerful. When the status of men and women is swapped, I always imagine the person in a higher position to be more muscular, as if this makes him more powerful."

Staring at Prince Huxiang again and again, Ouyang Xia smacked his lips, "Are all the girls of Huxiang so cute?"

Gu Qinghe turned around to look at her, and seeing Ouyang Xia's almost dazed look, the corners of his lips twitched, and he asked in surprise: "You like girls too?"

"Appreciation," Ouyang Xia laughed dryly, "Pure appreciation."

The conversation between the two was heard by the Great Prince of Huxiang State. Although she could understand Yun State's words, she only had a vague understanding of Rui Chao's words. She could only tell that the two had no ill intentions, so she curled the corners of her lips towards them and chuckled.

This time, Ouyang Xia wanted to fall to the ground with his hands covering his heart.

Lan Zhou informed the emperor's uncle of Gu Qinghe's purpose of coming, and also told him clearly about her kindness to him and Lan Yu.

The uncle nodded and asked Gu Qinghe, "I heard from Azhou that the young lady went to Huxiang to study the poisonous insects in Huxiang. Is this true?"

Seeing Prince Huxiang's expression suddenly change, Gu Qinghe lowered her eyebrows and sighed softly, "To be honest, Your Highness is right. This is indeed one of the reasons why I want to go to Huxiang."

"I wonder why the young lady wants to study the poisonous insect Huxiang?"

Speaking of this, the sadness between Gu Qinghe's brows became even more intense.

She took out the token her mother had given her before she left, and saw that the great prince beside her had his eyes fixed on the token. She said slowly, "My mother had been to Huxiang in her early years. This item was given to me by my mother before she left. She said that it was a gift from the Lord of Huxiang, and asked me to return it to her. As for coming to Huxiang, it was also for my mother."

Before the emperor's uncle could speak, the prince of Huxiang State spoke first.

Her voice sounded a little coquettish, but it was obvious that she had tried her best to slow down her speech so that Gu Qinghe could understand her.

"Your mother is Doctor Lu?"

"My mother's surname is indeed Lu."

The prince showed a trace of joy at seeing an old friend, "Why didn't she come with you?"

"My mother traveled a lot in her early years, and she has been in poor health in the past two years. She needs to rest. Otherwise, she wouldn't have let me come here alone." Gu Qinghe blinked, "Does the prince recognize my mother?"

"Of course I recognize her," her bright eyes flashed with nostalgia and tenderness, "Back then, your mother saved my life."

Gu Qinghe's heart warmed. No wonder her mother didn't worry about any danger she would encounter after arriving in Huxiang.

"Your mother came to Huxiang to study the various poisons in Huxiang. My elder sister likes her very much and hopes that she can stay in Huxiang. As long as she is willing, she can have as much gold, silver, and men as she wants. It's a pity that your mother doesn't want to."
