Gu Linchen clearly felt much better, and his previous hidden injuries had also healed. Gu Linchen was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, Miss Chu, I feel much better."
"I already said I'm a miracle doctor, this little bit of poison is nothing. But you've lost a lot of blood, so just eat more foods that replenish your blood and qi these next few days."
"You don't need to take the medicine anymore?"
"The poison has been neutralized, why take any more medicine?"
"Thank you, Miss Chu!"
"You're welcome. Your clothes are covered in blood, please change them."
"...I don't have any clean clothes to change into."
"These are new clothes I prepared for Xiao Mo. I didn't have time to give them to him. You two are about the same size, so please put them on if you don't mind."
"Miss Xie Chu."
The man brought water and waited outside the carriage...
Yunqi waved her hand, stepped out of the carriage and let the man in: "Go help your young master change his clothes. I'm going to take a walk outside. Call me when you're done."
Gu Linchen stroked the new clothes. This was the finest Flowing Cloud Brocade. He wondered who Xiao Mo was that she was talking about.
"master……"
"Go and bring the water in."
"yes."
Gu Linchen felt his wound healing rapidly and itching. After hesitating for a moment, he finally took off the bandage.
The wounds healed completely, without even leaving a scar...
The man was also shocked: "Master!"
"Remember, you must not mention this to anyone!"
"yes."
Gu Linchen finished dressing and said, "Go and call Miss Chu back. We'll continue on our way."
"yes."
This time, the carriage slowed down noticeably. Since the patient had recovered, there was no need to rush.
Gu Linchen and Yun Qi chatted about everything from local customs and culture to food and the imperial court... Yun Qi always managed to offer him unique insights.
Yunqi gave off a strange feeling. She was clearly not raised like a young lady from a secluded family, and she didn't understand the current court. She didn't even react when she heard her own name, as if she had been living in seclusion and had only recently come to the mortal world...
"Is there anywhere Miss Chu would like to go?"
"Any place with good food and fun activities is fine."
"I have no way to repay your life-saving grace. Why don't you come with me to the capital? There are many delicious and fun places in the capital, and I can show you some hospitality."
"Alright, then let you repay the life-saving grace."
"Then thank you very much, Miss Chu."
Gu Linchen no longer concealed his identity: "I am the fourth prince of Tianqing Kingdom. I was ambushed and poisoned, and I was saved by Miss Chu. I suspect that my elder brother was behind this ambush..."
Yun Qi sighed, thinking it was probably another drama about vying for the throne: "That's enough, you don't need to tell me any more details. I'm just here to enjoy the scenery, so don't tell me about your brothers' dirty tricks. I have no interest in getting involved in your struggle for the throne."
"……Feel sorry."
Yunqi waved her hand understandingly: "Whether you fight for your status or not is not wrong... I understand you, but what does it have to do with me? I'm just here to play for a few days. If it's inconvenient for you, you can give me some money as repayment for saving my life."
"...I'm sorry, I overstepped my bounds."
Yunqi chuckled, neither confirming nor denying.
The carriage traveled south and soon arrived in the capital. Yunqi followed Gu Linchen into the Fourth Prince's residence.
Gu Linchen arranged for Yun Qi to stay in a courtyard in the front yard, and sent several maids over to prepare various delicacies to be sent to Yun Qi. He then hurriedly changed his clothes and went to the palace to meet the emperor.
Yunqi was very satisfied with this, and Yingyi (the man driving the carriage, Gu Linchen's subordinate) was also assigned to Yunqi to be at her disposal.
Gu Linchen has been very busy these past few days and has been nowhere to be seen. Yingyi, on the other hand, dutifully follows Yunqi around. Whatever Yunqi takes a fancy to, he steps forward to pay for it and helps carry it.
The prince said that he was just a tool to pay for and carry things, and that he had to make sure Yunqi was happy with her purchases and had fun.
Over the course of a few days, Yingyi became familiar with Yunqi. However, it was unexpected that Yingyi had such a gossipy nature. He had to suppress his gossipy nature while staying by Gu Linchen's side, which was really hard on him.
That day, the maid peeled grapes and fed the pulp to Yunqi, who was reclining on a deck chair, basking in the sun, feeling quite content.
"So you're the woman the prince brought back?" The woman, dressed in luxurious clothes, looked down at Yun Qi, probably thinking she was a seductive slut brought back by Gu Linchen.
"Consort Liu." The maids all bowed to her.
Yunqi stood up; she didn't like being looked down upon.
The figure behind her gave a slight bow to Consort Liu and whispered to Yun Qi, "Consort Liu is the illegitimate daughter of Prime Minister Liu."
As mentioned in the first episode, Gu Linchen's harem consisted of only Consort Liu and a few maids, with Consort Liu holding absolute power in the mansion.
Suddenly, the little paper figure flew out, but landed limply at Consort Liu's feet.
Yunqi picked up the small paper figure from the ground and looked at Consort Liu with some surprise: "You are Consort Liu? Is your mother's surname Chu?"
Consort Liu looked at Yun Qi strangely, wondering why she asked this.
Yingyi dutifully answered from behind, "Miss Chu, Consort Liu's mother's surname is not Chu; her aunt is from the Chu family."
"Oh, I forgot, a concubine's daughter has to call the legal wife 'mother.' Is Concubine Chu your birth mother?"
"What's it to you?!" Consort Liu looked at Yun Qi warily. "What do you want to do?!"
"Don't be nervous. I mean no harm." Yun Qi shrugged and asked, "But what are you doing in the front yard?"
"You!...I, the concubine, just came to see what kind of woman the Prince would arrange for the front courtyard!" Concubine Liu was furious. She thought she had the back courtyard under her thumb, but now this beautiful woman had been assigned to the front courtyard, which was entirely under the Prince's control, leaving her with no way to deal with her...
