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

She had only mentioned it casually, so there was no reason for her to take the initiative after being rejected.

After applying the ointment, he gave the rest to the servant, reminded him again on how to use it, and then Gu Qinghe left.

Still, it was the servants who sent her out, but the difference was that this time Gu Qinghe did not meet King Wu.

Uncle Fu had almost found out everything about Prince Wu's Palace during this period of time. He knew that there was a garden in the back mountain of Prince Wu's Palace that was opened up by the King of Wu.

Rather than calling it a garden, it would be more accurate to say that it is just some rockery and artificial water for recreation.

The King of Wu liked to stay there when he had nothing to do. Outsiders thought that the King of Wu and his wife had a very good relationship, but only the couple knew whether it was true or not.

Gu Qinghe had a hunch that if her mother was really imprisoned in the Prince of Wu's Palace by the King of Wu, then her residence was most likely in the garden that the King of Wu had specially built.

After leaving Prince Wu's Mansion, Gu Qinghe went to Jingshi Hall to see a doctor again. This went on for three consecutive days until finally the time she and Uncle Fu had agreed on came.

Although Gu Qinghe's disguise skills are not very advanced, they can still be of some use.

Uncle Fu helped her find a young cook in the Prince of Wu's mansion, but Gu Qinghe felt something was wrong.

There was only this one young cook in the Prince of Wu's mansion, and she would definitely be remembered by people. So he looked around again and finally chose a cook who would not attract attention even if she stood in a crowd.

But Uncle Fu was a little worried, "This cook is a bit old. Even if the girl can disguise herself to look almost the same as her, how can she disguise her figure?"

It's easy to be exposed if you're not careful.

Gu Qinghe curled his eyes and said, "I have my own way."

Early the next morning, the cook came back from visiting her relatives, and happily carried some fruits and vegetables that she had brought from home to the Prince of Wu's mansion, intending to share some with another cook who usually took good care of her.

After turning the corner of the alley and walking a short distance inside, you can see the gate of Prince Wu's palace. The cook was humming a little tune, but before she finished humming a line, she fell to the ground with a bang.

A woman who was dressed the same as the cook and even looked the same as her, grinned as she lifted her up and handed her to the man waiting on the side. "She's very heavy, Uncle Fu, keep an eye on her. I should be able to finish this in two hours."

Uncle Fu's face was filled with worry. He repeatedly reminded her, "Young lady, remember not to act rashly. Even if you find something, don't act too hastily. Come back and tell me, and then I'll make a decision."

He was afraid that if Gu Qinghe really saw his wife in Prince Wu's Mansion, he would rush out without caring about hiding.

"Don't worry, you know I'm a reckless person."

Gu Qinghe picked up the cook's small basket and turned it in front of Uncle Fu. "How is it? Is there no difference at all?"

In fact, there are still some, for example, he can see the shadow of the girl in the cook's eyebrows and expression.

If it was the cook’s family, they would surely be able to see the difference.

Fortunately, both of them observed that the cook had not stayed in the Prince of Wu's mansion for a long time and should not attract attention.

……

Gu Qinghe returned to Prince Wu's Mansion through the back door carrying a basket. As soon as she entered, she met an older cook.

"You're back so early. How's your grandson? Is he feeling better?"

Gu Qinghe sighed with a sad face, "Fortunately, he is much better now. He will be fine if he takes good care of himself. My daughter-in-law is unreliable. She stayed at home and couldn't even tell that the child was sick. It has been delayed until now. Otherwise, it would not be so serious."

The older cook winked at her and said, "No, I would say you can't keep this wife. Wait until you save some money here, and then let your son divorce his wife and marry someone else. You have to marry a virtuous woman, otherwise there will be no peace in the family."

"Yes, but it's not easy for a family like ours to find a wife." Gu Qinghe pretended to be embarrassed and took out some fruits from his basket and stuffed them into the cook's mouth. "Let's not talk about this anymore. It will ruin my mood. These are the melons I grew at home. They are very sweet. You can try some later."

"I'll give you a suggestion," the cook pulled Gu Qinghe to the side and gave her some advice because they had been able to chat recently. "Our princess is generous. If the princess wants to drink lotus seed soup today, you can deliver it. If you're lucky, you might get a reward."

Normally, people in the kitchen would fight for the task of delivering meals to the princess. If it weren't for the fact that she had just arrived at the palace, the cook would never have given her such a good job.

Gu Qinghe quickly smiled and said, "Thank you very much. If the princess really gives you a reward, we can share it between us sisters later."

The two of them walked towards the kitchen, chatting and laughing. Seeing that the cook didn't realize at all that the person in front of her was a fake, Gu Qinghe gradually felt relieved.

After finishing the lunch break, the princess sent someone to deliver the lotus seed soup that the princess drank every day, and to make a plate of snacks.

There is a special dessert maker in the kitchen. Today's dish is date paste cake, which has a very rich flavor. Gu Qinghe sniffed and suddenly wanted to eat the food made by Grandma Wang in the general's mansion.

Gu Qinghe carried the lotus seed soup and pastries and followed the route described by Uncle Fu to the residence of Princess Wu.

Uncle Fu's reliability is certainly not an exaggeration. He has basically figured out the routes in Prince Wu's Mansion. In the past two days, he has dragged Gu Qinghe to repeat it over and over again, so it is hard for her to forget it.

When they arrived at Princess Wu's residence, the servant led her in.

This was the first time that Gu Qinghe met the Princess of Wu. She was a little different from what she had imagined, but when she thought about it carefully, there seemed to be nothing wrong.

After all, the rumored love could be fake, and the gentle tenderness could naturally be fake.

Princess Wu is very thin, with narrow eyes. When she opens her eyelids to look at people, she looks fierce, which makes people dodge and shrink.

The servant brought the lotus seed soup to the table. Princess Wu glanced at Gu Qinghe and asked, "New here? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Gu Qinghe smiled awkwardly, with some fear and flattery, "I have been here for more than two months, and I have never had the opportunity to bring food to the princess."

Princess Wu nodded and waved to the servant beside her. The servant nodded and took out a piece of silver from the small box beside him and handed it to Gu Qinghe, "Okay, leave now."

"The slaves retire."

She walked to the door and saw Princess Wu and the servants talking inside.

"Has the date for the prince to leave the capital been set?"

"It should be in two days. Princess, do you really not plan to go to the fiefdom with the prince?"

"Go together? Ha, if I really go to the fiefdom with him, I'm afraid that within half a year, he will report back the news of my death!"

Gu Qinghe did not stop. She knew very well that there were some things that should not be listened to carelessly. It would be a sin if the cook lost her life in the future because of her.
