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

Gu Qinghe naturally wouldn't wait for the slap to really hit his face. He could dodge the slap by leaning his body slightly back.

But just as she was about to step back, her arm was suddenly grabbed by someone and pulled back. Her vision darkened and Wei Yanzhou was already standing in front of her.

Li Qiulian's slap hit Wei Yanzhou directly. This amount of force was nothing to him, but Wei Yanzhou helped Gu Qinghe, so he was offending her reputation.

Everyone in the capital knew that Prince Wei was very gentle in his treatment of women. He had never made things difficult for servants or maids, so there were countless women in the capital who wanted to be his concubines.

Now he actually offended her for the sake of an ugly and speechless woman, in front of so many people. How could Li Qiulian not be angry?

She did not hide her anger, "What does Prince Wei mean? Could it be that the prince also wants to take this Doctor Gu into his mansion?"

Li Qiulian was really spoiled by the Prime Minister and his wife. No matter how spoiled she was or how much trouble she caused, the Prime Minister and his wife would always clean up the mess for her.

But Wei Yanzhou is the crown prince, and his father is the King of Wei. No matter how gentle he is in normal times, it is no reason for Li Qiulian to be so rude to him.

Under normal circumstances, Wei Yanzhou might not have bothered with Li Qiulian. No, to be precise, he would never let himself get involved in the disputes between these women.

But for some unknown reason, when he saw Li Qiulian slap him indiscriminately, his body's reaction surpassed his brain, and he actually stepped forward to protect her behind him.

Those surprised, puzzled and even scrutinizing eyes fell on the two of them, but Wei Yanzhou straightened his back as if he saw nothing.

"Today, we know that the princess is hosting a banquet. Those who don't know might think that the host of today's banquet is Miss Li."

He spoke slowly in a slightly cool tone, and although he didn't seem to be angry, people who were familiar with him basically knew that Wei Yanzhou was already angry.

He looked up at the group of young masters not far away who had nothing to do with the matter, and raised his voice slightly, "Let the girl stand here and be a target for you. Even if Shao Wei was standing here today, I'm afraid he wouldn't do such a thing. Could it be that your archery skills are better than his?"

Someone said awkwardly, "Prince Wei, please don't get angry. It was just a joke. Can everyone be sensible?"

"Property?" Wei Yanzhou would not have been angry if he hadn't said this, but he immediately sneered when he heard it, "Your proper propriety is to shoot an arrow through the girl's face, ruining her appearance, just to make you laugh?"

Yu Qinglian was still standing aside with her face covered. These young masters really had no reason to refute. They could only mutter in their hearts, thinking that Wei Yanzhou was a little abnormal today.

With Wei Yanzhou protecting her, Li Qiulian naturally couldn't do anything. She quickly took a step back and snorted, "Since Prince Wei has said so, it is true that I did something a bit too much just now. I apologize to this girl, but she looks like a generous person and she shouldn't hold it against me."

She looked at Gu Qinghe and smiled, "Right."

She should apologize to Yu Qinglian, what does it have to do with Gu Qinghe.

Gu Qinghe ignored her expressionlessly, nor did she stand behind Wei Yanzhou waiting for his protection. She just took a step to the side and stood with Mingxuan, with a calm and indifferent look on her face, as if she was not the one who had just been troubled.

Shao Jingxian and Shao Jingshu obviously did not expect things to develop to this point, but the two of them were united in that they hated Yu Qinglian, and Yu Qinglian ate, lived, and wore clothes from the Duke's Mansion. Since she enjoyed everything from their Duke's Mansion, what was wrong with being teased by them?

Besides, I was just teasing her for fun, and no one was killed, so what's the big deal?

Mingxuan and Gu Qinghe helped Yu Qinglian, which was seen by the two as meddling in other people's business, and Li Qiulian couldn't stand Gu Qinghe, so she naturally stood on their side.

As soon as Li Qiulian left, the two of them followed immediately.

Ming Xuan whispered to Gu Qinghe, "These few people got together and they are definitely thinking of ways to trip you up."

Gu Qinghe just smiled and let them go.

Whether it was the Shao Jingxian sisters or Li Qiulian, Gu Qinghe had no interest in fighting with them.

She had a lot of things to do, and these two people were not among her targets.

The reason why Gu Qinghe came to the banquet hosted by the eldest princess today was not for these people.

Her eyes seemed to pass by Princess Pingyang's face unintentionally, and stopped at the wound on Qinglian's cheek. She said in a neither light nor heavy voice, "This wound is quite badly scratched. Let's clean it and apply some medicine first."

Mingxuan frowned, "Will it leave a scar? I think the wound didn't look serious at the time, but it looks pretty scary now."

"No," Gu Qinghe took out a small bluish-white porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket, handed it to Yu Qinglian, and instructed: "Apply it twice a day. After half a month, your wound will be the same as before the injury."

Yu Qinglian actually didn't care too much about whether her wound would leave a scar. Considering her current situation, leaving a scar might not be a bad thing for her. However, her aunt would probably be a little sad and would definitely hug her and cry after returning.

She put away the medicine given by Gu Qinghe and thanked him gratefully.

As she was quite frightened this time, and Shao Jingxian and Shao Jingshu would not bother her for a while, Yu Qinglian planned to go back by herself.

After she left, Mingxuan took Gu Qinghe and planned to sit nearby, but they were stopped by Princess Pingyang's maid before they took two steps.

The maid was smart and had a very good attitude. "Doctor Gu, please stay. Our princess has heard about your medical skills and is very curious about you. She wants to invite you to sit over there."

Mingxuan looked at this and that and asked, "Can I go with you?"

"Of course," the maid smiled gently, "Doctor Gu, Miss Ming, this way please."

Gu Qinghe clenched her fingertips slightly in her sleeves and followed the maid to a pavilion not far away.

Although this pavilion is not far from the archery range, it is quite hidden. The huge ginkgo tree blocks the place completely, as if it is completely isolated from the hustle and bustle over there.

Princess Pingyang.

Gu Qinghe walked in slowly.

The few impressions she had of Princess Pingyang in her previous life were all not-so-good rumors.

But she had never met Princess Pingyang before. Now, watching from afar, Princess Pingyang's eyes seemed to be on her.

Gu Qinghe put his thoughts aside, walked in with his brows lowered, and bowed respectfully.

Princess Pingyang glanced her up and down casually. She had heard the rumors about Gu Qinghe's medical skills in the capital during this period, and just now she had heard Gu Qinghe's promise to Qinglian that there would be no scar left.
