Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 302 Touching Her Wounds

In fact, Gu Qianhan also heard that Prince Ning’s long-term cough was cured by Shen Wantang.

There is nothing else to say. Prince Ning likes his daughter-in-law from the bottom of his heart. If Shen Wantang is filial to him a little, he will praise her to be very filial to him. If Shen Wantang treats him once, he will show off to everyone that his daughter-in-law is capable and her medical skills surpass those of the imperial physician.

Moreover, because Prince Ning's complexion had improved and he often boasted that his daughter-in-law cared about him and sent him all kinds of food from the Imperial Observatory, Duke Zhenguo Gu Rongchang had recently urged Gu Qianhan to get married quickly and demanded that he must marry a filial and capable woman who would definitely surpass Prince Ning.

Gu Qianhan naturally ignored his father's urging. He was able to resist his parents' pressure to get married in his previous life, so he could naturally do so in this life as well.

What's more, he didn't think there was any woman who could surpass Shen Wantang.

Gu Qianning was still rambling on and on: "Atang is really a miracle doctor, she is too low-key, if Prince Ning hadn't boasted that his daughter-in-law could cure coughs, I wouldn't have known that Atang was so amazing!"

"If I had known, I would have written to her on the first day I caught the cold! I wrote to her today just to ask Atang to prescribe a prescription for me, but I didn't expect her to come directly. She treats me so well!"

"Oh, I really suffered for several days in vain. Those doctors really killed me. The medicine they prescribed didn't work at all. I coughed all night last night and couldn't sleep today. I coughed so much that my chest hurts!"

Gu Qianhan suddenly interrupted her and said, "What happened to the wound on her face?"

Gu Qianning was slightly stunned: "Didn't she say that it was an accidental scratch?"

"She's not that careless. There must be a reason for that injury."

"What's the reason?"

"You ask me? Isn't she your friend? Why didn't you ask clearly when she was hurt?"

"I asked her, and she said she was hit by a piece of broken porcelain!"

"Do you believe this reason?"

"Of course I believe it. I believe whatever Atang says. Do you think everyone is like you? You have eight hundred tricks and don't believe anyone's words?"

Gu Qianhan looked at his sister, his tone filled with a sense of disappointment: "There are many cunning people in the family, but you are the only one who is so stupid. You trust others so easily, and you still want to enter the palace to be the Crown Princess. I'm afraid you think your life is too long!"

Gu Qianning was unhappy: "Why do you scold me so harshly? It's not that I don't have a brain, it's that you have too many brains and schemes! I am a normal person! What's wrong with me wanting to enter the palace to be the Crown Princess? I have my aunt in the palace, and my father and elder brother outside the palace. Even if I don't have a brain, no one can bully me! Not even the Crown Prince!"

Gu Qianhan looked at her indifferently. The prince really couldn't bully her now, because the Gu family was in its heyday, and the prince had to give her some respect.

My sister has never had much respect for the prince, and the same is true for him.

His father Gu Rongchang even dared to reprimand the prince to his face, because he was in a high position and had great power, because he was the prince's uncle.

They had never imagined that the prince, whom they had looked down upon, would one day in the future accuse the Gu family of the long-planned crime of treason and wipe out the entire Gu family.

However, even so, after Gu Qianhan came back to life, he did not teach his sister to respect the prince. It was enough to just do it on the surface, but to really respect him - Xiao Qingxuan was not worthy!

Seeing his sister unhappy, and remembering her tragic death in her previous life, he softened his tone: "I was just teasing you, why are you so anxious? You are not stupid at all, okay?"

Gu Qianning: “…”

Why does it sound like he's still scolding her?

Gu Qianhan turned around and walked out. When he was about to leave, he said lightly: "Invite her to our house more often in the future."

Gu Qianning knew who this "she" was referring to. She glared at him angrily: "I am stupid, how can I listen to you about this matter? I won't!"

Gu Qianhan smiled softly: "I know you will invite her."

Gu Qianning felt a lump in her throat.

It's over. There's no way to trick him. He really is cunning and it's only asking for trouble to compete with him in wits and courage!

"Rest, drink less medicine, and don't get better too quickly. This way I can ask her to come and see you again. Remember to send someone to inform me when the time comes."

After Gu Qianhan finished speaking, he walked out.

Gu Qianning lay on the bed, muttering silently: "This is my biological second brother. I can't sever the brother-sister relationship with him. He is not a human being, so I cannot be a human being. I can't learn from him, I can't..."

Gu Qianhan quickly returned to his courtyard, where the servant Fu Ze was already waiting for him.

Gu Qianhan asked, "What happened to the wound on Shen Wantang's face?"

Fu Ze whispered, "Replying to the Second Young Master, he was injured by Princess Shuyang."

Gu Qianhan frowned: "Xiao Qingxi?"

"Yes. Princess Shuyang falsely accused the Crown Princess of having an affair with General Huo, and she smashed all the vases in the palace's flower hall. The scar on the Crown Princess's face was caused by the broken pieces of the vase she smashed."

Gu Qianhan clenched his fists tightly. He asked in a cold voice, "Xiao Qingyuan doesn't care? Is he dead? How could Shen Wantang have an affair with Huo Yunzhou?!"

"It was General Huo who went to look for Prince Xiao at night, but Prince Xiao was busy having sex with the maid named Huayi, so he asked someone to take General Huo to look for the prince's wife. General Huo spoke a few more words to the princess, and Princess Shuyang happened to see it and misunderstood."

Gu Qianhan only felt a surge of anger in his heart. This anger went all the way up, burning his heart and lungs, impacting his brain, and flowing into his limbs and bones.

His voice was as cold as ice: "Xiao Qingyuan, you deserve to die!"

The days in winter are very short and the sun sets quickly.

As night falls, everything is silent.

Everyone in Prince Ning's mansion had gone to bed, only the guards were still patrolling faithfully.

A team of guards walked past the high wall of the palace, and did not notice that in the thick night, a black shadow flashed by and jumped into the high wall.

After the black shadow entered the palace, it acted as if it was in an empty space, easily avoiding another team of guards, and then quickly approached Wutong Garden.

Wutong Garden was quiet, with only one light on, which was left specially for him.

The door was open and Gu Qianhan stepped in.

A slender figure stood in the yard, and she spoke softly: "Sir."

"Is she asleep?"

"Yes."

"Is there any medicine for the wound on your face?"

"I used it. It's better than yesterday."

Gu Qianhan nodded and went into the house.

The maids in charge of night watch were sleeping soundly and had no idea someone was coming - it was obvious that they had all been drugged.

Gu Qianhan walked past the maid and went straight into the inner room.

The curtain was lifted, revealing the sleeping Shen Wantang.

Gu Qianhan sat down on the bed, reached out his hand, and gently stroked the scar on her cheek - he wanted to do this during the day.
