"But, should we find a doctor to treat his leg?"
What Qiu Yan could think of, Gu Qian certainly thought of as well.
"Aren't there readily available female healers?" Qiu Yan was pondering what excuse she should use to visit the Wing King.
After all, the Wing King did not have a queen.
"I disagree." Gu Qian then got up and began to gently rock Qiu Yan on the swing.
"Yan Yan, you are pregnant and there is a risk of accidents. Please leave this matter to your husband."
"No, I'll go myself." It was the first time Qiu Yan had ever been so eager to treat someone.
If things are really as she thinks,
Other doctors would probably be driven away by the Wing King before they could even get close to him.
Gu Qian: "I'm worried."
"What's there to worry about? I'm the general's wife." Suddenly, Qiu Yan thought of He Jinran.
"Where is Xiaoran?"
She, Qiu Ling'er, and Qin Susu had just returned when they went to look for He Jinran, but they couldn't find him. They only heard from Zhu Juan that he had gone out for a walk with Xuanming and Xuanying.
"Xiao Ran?" Gu Qian quickly stood up straight. "I'll go find him."
Although He Lin had placed many close bodyguards around Xiao Ran, the mastermind behind the scenes had not been caught, and Xiao Ran was still in danger.
"I'll go with you." Qiu Yan followed behind Gu Qian.
The two first went to the courtyard where He Jinran was.
In the courtyard, only Zhu Juan and Cao Shi sat together chatting.
Unable to find anyone at the mansion, both Qiu Yan and Gu Qian wore anxious expressions.
"Where could Xiao Ran go?" Qiu Yan thought of Gu Xiao Ran's previous sullenness.
Could it be that he's hiding somewhere, missing his birth mother?
This is not in his character.
"Don't worry, Yan Yan," Gu Qian said, though he was just as worried as Qiu Yan.
"Don't worry, Xiao Ran is surrounded by experts."
"Xiao Ran is quite opinionated; there's no guarantee he won't listen to advice and go looking for his sister on his own." Qiu Yan knew that He Jinran was very clever.
Knowing that he had a younger sister, of course he wanted to find her.
"What kind of plan could he possibly have?" In Gu Qian's eyes, He Jinran was just a child.
Over the years, he has never given up searching for his junior sister's other child.
He even investigated all of his junior sister's previous suitors.
Including Prince Rui and Prince Yi,
However, he was constantly on the front lines and had limited time in Tianjin, so he couldn't find anything.
At that moment, Qiu Yan suddenly remembered that on the day she first arrived in Shangjin, Xiao Ran had mentioned wanting to meet the Wing King.
"Wing Prince's Residence. Gu Qian, when you went to Wing Prince's Residence just now, didn't you run into Xiao Ran?"
As soon as she spoke, Qiu Yan knew she had asked an unnecessary question.
"No. Yan Yan, even if, as you and I suspect, it was Prince Yi who abducted the little princess, he might have already taken her elsewhere. If His Majesty discovers this, the princess could be executed on the spot." Gu Qian felt that Prince Yi wouldn't take such a big risk.
"Your analysis makes a lot of sense, but right now, the Wing King is a crucial clue." As Qiu Yan spoke, she headed towards the Wing King's residence to search for him.
But Gu Qian stopped him in his tracks.
"I'll go."
Just as the two were racking their brains over He Jinran's matter, they heard a series of hurried footsteps.
"General, Madam."
Xuanming flew up and landed in front of Qiu Yan and Gu Qian. Then, he cupped his hands and said:
"His Highness will be staying at the Prince Yi's residence today. He specifically asked me to return to the residence to inform him."
"What!" Gu Qian had a headache. This child, even though he's grown up so much, still does things like this, always putting the cart before the horse.
Qiu Yan: "As expected!"
Xiao Ran always acts on her own initiative.
She felt that the Prince Yi's mansion was likely in trouble.
No, it's not just a feeling, it's a certainty.
"I'm going to find him!" Gu Qian exclaimed anxiously, about to leave, but Qiu Yan grabbed his wrist.
"You know Xiao Ran's temperament. He's finally managed to stay at the Prince Yi's residence. I'm afraid even if you go, it won't make a difference."
"Then what should we do? Just let him run wild like this and move into the Prince Yi's residence?" Gu Qian asked angrily.
Qiu Yan: "It's not impossible. If we send more people to protect him, maybe he can really find his sister."
She knew that the Wing King would definitely protect Xiao Ran.
After all, he would be held responsible if something happened to someone in his residence.
That night, in the kitchen of the Prince of Yi's residence,
He Jinran and He Xuan sat facing each other.
He Xuan ate the food on the table listlessly, the atmosphere somewhat somber.
However, He Jinran had no idea what embarrassment was.
He picked up a piece of braised fish with his chopsticks and finished it with difficulty.
Finding it delicious, she smiled and picked up a slice for the Wing King as well.
"I must say, the chef at Prince Yi's residence is quite skilled. It's just that the fish bones weren't removed, so it lacks flavor."
Before, Aunt Zhu would always remove the fish bones for him before letting him eat the fish.
What does it taste like?
"Spicy." Gu Xiaoran didn't like spicy food when she was a child, but ever since she came to Shangjin City, she has started to miss the chili peppers from Baiyang.
"I do not like spicy flavors."
"Then you really don't have the chance to enjoy good food. Uncle Yi, your palace is rather deserted. Do you usually eat alone?"
His implication was that there were other people dining with Uncle Yi.
"It's just me." He Xuan didn't even lift his eyelids, still picking at the food in his bowl.
"Sigh, why doesn't Uncle Yi mention taking a few wives and concubines? Wouldn't your mansion be quite lively if you did?"
"Who would marry me, someone like me?"
“You are a prince of the current dynasty.” He Jinran placed another piece of braised fish on Prince Yi’s plate.
Even though he had just placed the braised fish on Yi Wang's plate, Yi Wang didn't touch it.
"So what if he's a prince? He has no power and no money."
"Don't you have any money either? Uncle Yi, I have money. If you're short on cash, I can lend you some."
He Xuan: "..." This kid can say anything, it's really hard for me to say anything.
"Your Highness, you've just arrived and you've so brazenly moved into my Prince Yi's residence. Aren't you putting me in a very difficult position? I know you're not here for pure purposes. Your Highness, tell me, what exactly is your purpose? Perhaps I can help you."
"Uh..." He Jinran chuckled dryly and swallowed a mouthful of braised fish.
However, because he swallowed too quickly, he coughed a few times and spat out two fish bones.
"Uncle Wing, you've misunderstood. I just..." But what?
He Jinran scratched his head, "It's just because I met Uncle Yiyi last night and felt a sense of familiarity, so I thought I'd visit him a bit."
"Misunderstanding? Kindness? Your Highness, let's not beat around the bush. I want to live a few more years, and I would never do something like assassinating the Crown Prince."
He Jinran: "I already said, Uncle Yi has misunderstood." He clearly came to find his sister.
His own affairs were not enough to make him stay put.
As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly...
The man in black reappears.
A barrage of cold arrows rained down on He Jinran.
He Jinran's first reaction was to hide behind He Xuan, crying out, "Third Imperial Uncle, save me!" In his desperation, he even changed his form of address.
