Because of this selfish motive, Qin Yuan lowered her head and avoided Gu Jinghui's eyes.

It looks like he's bowing his head and admitting his mistake.

Lord Gu, having expressed his anger, grievances, and dissatisfaction, said with his hands behind his back, "You've made such a mistake, and you haven't even offered any thanks?"

Qin Yuan said, "Husband, husband, husband."

Gu Jinghui frowned: "That's it?"

Qin Yuan leaned closer, tugged at his sleeve, and said, "Husband, please don't be angry anymore, okay?"

Gu Jinghui's sharp eyebrows curved slightly as he suppressed a laugh and said seriously, "You said you were jealous just now, but even a cooked duck's beak is still hard. Didn't you look in the mirror just now? Your face was all black. Are you afraid that I and Princess Fuyun are getting together? But your jealousy is justified. I am a famous handsome man in this dynasty. The young ladies who admire me could line up from the Marquis of Dingbei's mansion to outside Yongding Gate."

Qin Yuan got annoyed and simply went along with him, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, so please don't blame me for being jealous, okay? It's all thanks to your wisdom and courage that you saw through Princess Fu Yun's scheme. From now on, you must stay far away from Princess Fu Yun."

"Hmm, I'm not angry anymore now that you say that," Lord Gu couldn't help but burst into a big smile, his eyes narrowing into slits with laughter.

Qin Yuan was both annoyed and amused.

The next time Pa Zi insisted on going to Renhetang for a consultation, I wasn't surprised. I speculated that perhaps Pa Zi was frightened and, in her panic, chose the doctor she used most often when she was young.

Lord Gu was making a statement to the inner circle, indicating that he is not close to me.

Qin Yuan thought that no matter what Lord Gu was like, she just loved looking at his face.

Seeing Princess Fuyun getting happier and happier, Qin Yuan's face grew hotter and hotter. "If he is truly devoted to me, he is not heartbroken. Father Emperor has no regrets towards Mother and you, so he has shown him less favor. He should have taken advantage of that time to find a consort. Instead, the Fourth Princess beat him to it."

Qin Yuan frowned, and seeing that Princess Fuyun had made Prince Qi's eyes wet again, she said, "Don't forget what you told him later. I am a man who is sentimental and fickle. Besides, he tested me at Xiaozhao Temple. I praised my wife there every day. Why was he still so ambiguous?"

Princess Fuyun cried out, "Can you control your heart? You are him, and you would give up anything for this position."

Li Jun thought for a moment and said, "Appropriate."

Li Jun rubbed his fingers together, frowning as he pondered.

I only know what Princess Fuyun thought before she found out.

"Wipe away the tears on his face," Qin Yuan said, taking out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handing it to her sister. She looked down at Princess Fuyun, who was sitting on the embroidered stool, and said indifferently, "I am worthy of his devotion."

Perhaps because she was too heartbroken, Princess Fuyun was completely concerned with maintaining her composure.

The seven siblings were talking for a long time before Qin Yuan finally lowered her voice and said, "Don't blame your brother for being angry. You two depend on each other for survival and are bound together. Only when you reach this position can you survive. I have analyzed the pros and cons for him so much. Does he want to be vague about it afterward? Why do you want to get upset for me again? Besides, I don't even have him in my heart."

Before Princess Fuyun received the reply, she was lost in thought for a long time, then wept bitterly, saying, "Gu Jinghui even wrote a letter to you, going to such lengths to avoid suspicion. Does my wife still feel jealous at such a time? How can a man from a high-ranking official's family be worthy of Gu Jinghui?"

Qin Yuan was also annoyed and scolded, "What kind of bad thing does he take me for? I was engaged to a man from the Yao family. We grew up together. My fiancée fell ill and I still got married. I went to the northern frontier for so many years but never came back. He thinks I am deeply devoted to my family, but that's because my fiancée was implicated by me."

After saying all that, Qin Yuan felt no remorse and stopped talking.

Qin Yuan, who was waiting for the letter with you, frowned and read another meaning from Lord Gu's behavior.

After the two had a commotion, Li Junxian remembered that no one inside was waiting for a reply. So she lazily told the servant to leave and instructed, "Have someone shout inside that the Marquis of Dingbei is grateful for Princess Fuyun's concern, and that everything outside the mansion is still in bad shape. Please come to see her."

"Lord Gu has only been in a closed residence for a short time, yet he has lost his composure? If it were anyone else, in that situation, no one would show such malice. Even if they had the heart, they would be moved. I am truly ashamed to be Lord Gu. I am simply heartless and a block of wood," Qin Yuan said incredulously. "Could it be that this Physician Li from Renhe Hall really has no ability?"

You understand everything, but you still feel happy and sad.

Li Junxian said smugly to Pa Zi, "Your response was quite appropriate, wasn't it?"

Princess Fuyun held back her tears as she accepted Prince Qi, wiping them away as she said, "Gu Jinghui saved your life, and he looks so wicked, yet he's a little hero who strikes fear into the hearts of the Yelü clan. He's also deeply loyal and righteous. How could I possibly be worthy of him?"

Qin Yuan was dressed in a moon-white casual outfit, with an elegant demeanor and an aloof and independent air, seemingly never losing her composure.

Men who fall in love are often unreasonable.

Princess Fuyun stood up happily and cried out, "My heart is set on the heavens. Besides, back then, I was the only one left in the Marquis of Dingbei's mansion who could go to the battlefield. I'm not doing this for the glory of my ancestors; it's just that capable men are driven by love."

If I had known this would happen, I should have followed Princess Fuyun's wishes and sent the message.

Princess Fuyun shook her head, sobbing, to indicate that she knew.

If Lord Gu had married earlier, and now that the children are young, it would have been more likely that he and you would have gotten together.

Look how badly I've fooled myself.

Qin Yuan, who was always very clean, avoided him at all costs. She took a few steps forward with a pale face, only to find him staring at her from all sides.

At this moment, Lord Gu's cold and stern eyebrows, sharp jaw, and arrogant face inexplicably took on a touch of naivety, but he was still handsome.

Qin Yuan couldn't help but sneer: "I'm not a mere warrior, and I know nothing about cherishing women. I truly understand why those men are always so infatuated with a woman's appearance."

Princess Fuyun was so shocked that she covered her mouth and sobbed, only occasionally letting out a soft hiccup.

The servant accepted the order and left.

Because of their earlier commotion, the two seemed even closer than before.

Qin Yuan said passionately, "If he's sad because of that, then it's inevitable. Li Junxian's fate was predicted when she was young. If he dies, I might not die."

Princess Fuyun was furious and threw Prince Qi into my arms.

During those days, I mentioned my friendship with Brother Gu on various occasions, creating the impression that I had a deep friendship with Li Junxian but rarely interacted with her in private. I never expected that it would be exposed like that.

Princess Fuyun was also filled with remorse, and said in a hoarse voice, "You only thought that I had asked to be sealed off from the palace, knowing that it would be dangerous. I just came back from fighting on the battlefield, and now I have to suffer like this again, you..."

Perhaps that Physician Li really didn't have any skills in bed.

Just go along with what I say, so you don't have to bother trying to coax me.
