He Lin was speechless, and his expression turned serious.
"Jin'er, you must not speak recklessly."
"Isn't that right?!" Gu Xiaoran asked rhetorically, but her words implied certainty.
He Lin didn't know how to respond to this, so he simply remained silent and stayed with Gu Xiaoran to ease some of his guilt.
Gu Xiaoran originally thought that if He Lin got bored sitting there, he would leave.
But to his surprise, He Lin showed no intention of leaving, which annoyed him.
Meanwhile, Zhu Juan, who was in the side room, went to another courtyard to chat with her mother because of He Lin's arrival.
Two quarters of an hour later,
Gu Xiaoran simply couldn't bear to read this medical book.
"Uncle, men and women shouldn't touch each other!"
His reasoning sounds far-fetched, yet it also seems quite reasonable.
He Lin: "..."
"Jin'er is getting better and better at dressing up girls." Even though he was being chased away, he showed no intention of leaving.
"Please sit down, I need to use the restroom." Gu Xiaoran couldn't get rid of her, so she left on her own.
He Lin knew that Gu Xiaoran didn't want to be alone with him, so he didn't follow her.
He simply and quietly began to peruse the medical books that Gu Xiaoran was reading.
Gu Xiaoran went to the training ground alone, pouring all her anxious feelings into every move she made.
With a series of swift movements, he was sweating profusely in the dead of winter, yet he still refused to stop.
Qiu Yan and Gu Qian noticed He Lin the moment he arrived.
At this moment, they stood in a corner of the training ground, silently watching the young man practicing martial arts diligently, their only thought being to find the culprit as quickly as possible...
He Lin sat alone in Gu Xiaoran's study, staring blankly at his medical books for a whole day, until late at night.
At this moment, Gu Xiaoran had just finished her training at the training ground.
He hastily wiped the sweat from his forehead and ran towards Qiu Yan and the other person in the distance.
"Father, Mother, what should I do if he doesn't leave?" Clearly, the moves he had just practiced hadn't calmed him down; on the contrary, the more he practiced, the more confused he became.
He spoke with a panicked tone, fearing that the man would insist on taking him into the palace.
After all, given that person's status, a single word could take a life.
So he was afraid.
“Then Xiao Ran will live in the same courtyard as her father and mother,” Qiu Yan replied.
Gu Qian thought so too.
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of clanging sounds of killing erupted from within the general's mansion.
Without a second thought, the three rushed toward the source of the sound.
This was the courtyard where Gu Xiaoran was.
When the three of them ran to the source of the sound, only He Lin and his guards remained in the courtyard.
Zhan Yue Shou Shi, the sword blade is sheathed.
Xuanming, Xuanying, and the other royal guards still had drops of blood dripping from their blades.
He Lin stood in the courtyard with a pale face, and the next moment, Zhan Yue helped him up.
"Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"
He Lin spoke with intense anger, but his voice was clearly weak and powerless.
Qiu Yan and Gu Qian carefully surveyed the scene.
Both of them wore solemn expressions, but at the same time, they were also filled with lingering fear.
Gu Xiaoran felt weak as she looked at the mess on the ground.
He asked He Lin,
Who is it?
He Lin shook his head; his anger had turned into apology.
"Jin'er, it's not safe here. Come with me to the palace."
If he knew who did it, he wouldn't be getting angry here.
"Is it safe inside the palace?" Gu Xiaoran stood behind Gu Qian.
He Lin: "At least, it's safer than here."
Gu Xiaoran shook his head. He had only one thought in his mind: to go home. He wanted to go back to Baiyang.
"Did you bring all those people here?"
