"Thank you, Xinxin. I'll contact you if I need anything. You've already helped me so much, getting Lord Gu and Prince Lu to keep a close eye on my good-for-nothing brother, and asking Doctor Xiao to prepare medicine for my brother. That's more than enough," Zheng Qiu said sincerely.
Gu Xin had Zheng Qiu describe in detail her brother's condition after he was injured. She and Grandma Xiao made medicine for him, but because they couldn't see him, there were still some discrepancies.
“Xiao Qiu, don’t say that. We’re sisters! I don’t actually have many friends. Besides my sisters, I only have three friends so far. Two of them got married last month and went to Kunzhou. Now you’re the only friend I have in the capital. If I don’t help you, who else can I help?” Gu Xin said, patting Zheng Qiu’s shoulder. “You should try to get Grandma Xiao to take a look at your brother’s leg injury as soon as possible. You should also reunite with him sooner so that he has the courage to live.”
"Yes, I'll figure something out when we get back after things are settled in Taizhou. I already appeared before the Marquis of Yong'an and his wife once, and they didn't recognize me. They won't suspect me," Zheng Qiu nodded.
“That’s right! Don’t be afraid, you’re under Princess Xin Xin’s protection now, no one dares to touch you,” Gu Xin said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you very much, Princess Xinxin!" Zheng Qiu smiled as well.
"It's getting late, let's rest! Tomorrow's here, we'll all be busy, we need to get enough sleep." Gu Xin pulled the blanket up and said.
Zheng Qiu also lay flat on her back.
Gu Xin could fall asleep instantly, while Zheng Qiu let her mind wander for a while.
She never imagined that she would be prepared to go through fire and water to return to Beijing, but after meeting Gu Xin, she would be saved a lot of trouble.
But more often than not, she didn't ask Gu Xin for help. She could tell that Gu Xin genuinely considered her a friend, and she had to cherish this hard-won friendship. Sometimes, asking for too much would make her feel like she was troubling others.
But as a friend, she will definitely ask for help if she can't do it herself and really needs it.
For example, treating her brother's leg injury or disciplining her younger brother strictly are things she cannot do.
...
The next day, at the crack of dawn, Gu Xin's biological clock woke her up.
The carriage was parked, and Dongxue had already woken up. Seeing that Gu Xin had woken up, she whispered, "Third Miss, this servant will go outside to see what's going on."
Gu Xin nodded, then turned around and saw that Zheng Qiu had also woken up.
So the three of them got up, folded and put away their blankets, and got out of the carriage.
"Third Miss, there's a water source over there. Go wash up and grab something to eat. We'll be able to get directly to the Donglin Prince's Mansion soon without having to stop along the way." The woman in white pointed to He Gang and He Qiang, who were washing their faces not far away.
The carriage had just been parked. Gu Xin jumped off, stretched, and called Zheng Qiu and Dong Xue to go over together.
After washing up, Gu Xin asked Dongxue to bring the snacks she had prepared yesterday so she could have something to eat first.
After resting, the group continued their journey.
Around noon, the carriage arrived at the Donglin Prince's Palace.
At this moment, the Eastern King's residence looked no different from any other ordinary mansion, and did not resemble a funeral at all. It seems that Bai Baozhu's obstruction was quite effective.
Gu Xin tossed her token to Bai Er, telling him to go and knock on the door. She had traveled all night and only ate a little in the morning, so she was hungry and needed to eat something quickly.
