Gu Qichuan was already fast asleep.
Ah Li's fingers were shaking from exhaustion. She quietly left the room and sat down on the couch outside.
Aunt Yucui stepped forward in a hurry, "Miss A-li, let me rub your arms for you."
Ali smiled softly at Aunt Yucui, then fell asleep leaning on the pillow.
Aunt Yucui's eyes were filled with pity. She gently covered Ali with a thin blanket and then slowly walked out.
"Aunt, what happened to the general?" Manzhu asked in a low voice.
Songbai and others also looked at Aunt Yucui with burning eyes.
"His complexion has indeed improved. I think Miss Ali's medical skills are very powerful. Maybe she can really cure the general." Aunt Yucui said with some emotion.
Manzhu and the others all showed joy on their faces.
"Chun Tao and Xia He should prepare some food now. Miss Ali and the general will eat when they wake up."
"Yes, Aunt Yucui."
Chuntao and Xiahe were specially arranged by Gu Qichuan to take care of Ali's daily life.
"Don't all of you just stand here, just go do what you need to do." Aunt Yucui waved her hand.
"Yes, Aunt Yucui."
Everyone responded and returned to their respective positions.
Aunt Yucui glanced at the door and went to the servants' room to rest for a while.
Ali slept very deeply this time. Although her health was much better after the time travel, the long period of emptiness still made her weak. Just giving acupuncture to Gu Qichuan made her extremely tired.
Ah Li opened her eyes and saw Gu Qichuan's deep eyes.
"Brother Qichuan, you're awake." Ali called softly.
Gu Qichuan reached out and rubbed Ah Li's head, "I woke up and now I feel very comfortable."
"That's good." Ali climbed up from the couch, took Gu Qichuan's hand and pressed his pulse again, making sure that the poison in his body was temporarily suppressed.
"How did you get poisoned?" asked Ali.
"When we were on the front lines."
"Front line?" Ah Li frowned, "Was he poisoned when he was injured?"
Gu Qichuan shook his head, "I was killing the enemy in front of the battlefield, and during the decisive battle, I was shot in the back by an arrow."
Ah Li's brows furrowed even deeper, "Is he from the military?"
Gu Qichuan nodded, "We haven't found out who it is yet. My people were busy killing the enemy at the time, and no one paid attention to what was happening behind them."
"If he is someone from Gu's army, then wouldn't that be..." Ah Li held Gu Qichuan's hand tightly with some worry.
"It can't be Gu Jiajun. Although I have only been in charge of this body for a short time, I can see that Gu Jiajun really believes in General Gu. The faith of a soldier is clearly visible in their eyes. They will not harm their general for their own selfish desires."
"Not all the soldiers in the army are Gu's army. I have a few suspects now and I am investigating them one by one."
Gu Qichuan hugged Ah Li and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, you have a way to cure this poison now, and I will have more time in the future."
Ali nodded firmly, "I will definitely cure you, I am sure of it."
Gu Qichuan tightened his embrace.
Aunt Yucui's voice rang out at the door, "General, Miss Ali, are you up yet?"
Ah Li quickly sat up straight, "I'm up."
Aunt Yucui then pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing the two people being so intimate, Aunt Yucui could hardly suppress a smile on her lips. "The meal is ready. The general and the young lady can have their meal first."
"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Yucui." Ah Li jumped off the couch and pushed Gu Qichuan's wheelchair out.
The two of them had their meal together. It was already dusk and it was time for them to go back to their homes.
"I have to prepare things for the wedding tomorrow, so I may not be able to pick you up." Gu Qichuan paused.
He wanted to see Ali every day, especially after knowing that the Prime Minister's Mansion was not a good place, he became even more worried about Ali.
Even if Yucui-gu is there, after all, Prime Minister Shen's identity is there.
Aunt Yucui can't hold back sometimes.
"Should I embroider my wedding dress?" Ali asked softly.
Gu Qichuan was stunned, remembering that in that era, women had to embroider their own wedding dresses before getting married.
He nodded.
"But I can't." Ali was a little embarrassed.
Aunt Yucui chuckled and said, "I can teach Miss Ali."
"Thank you, Aunt Yucui."
"Miss Ali, you are too polite. However, to embroider the wedding dress, we need to choose embroidery thread and buy a lot of accessories. We have to go out shopping tomorrow." Aunt Yucui said.
Ali's eyes lit up.
Gu Qichuan's eyes were filled with a deep smile, "Thank you, Aunt Yucui."
"I dare not accept the general's thanks." Aunt Yucui said with a smile.
After the three of them had discussed it, they returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Prime Minister's Mansion Garden.
Du Wanrou and Shen Anrong were talking in the garden.
Du Wanrou was followed by several guards, and Shen Anrong was followed by the maids and security guards from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Seeing Ah Li, both of them had anger in their eyes.
Du Wanrou was jealous and Shen Anrong was unwilling.
One of them wants to marry Gu Qichuan, and the other wants to kill Shen Ali.
"Second Miss Shen, Miss Shen and I hit it off right away. I'm visiting the Prime Minister's residence. You don't mind, do you?" Du Wanrou suddenly changed her expression.
Ah Li chuckled, "I don't know what kind of family education Miss Du has. It's already dusk, and she's still visiting someone else's house. She really doesn't know the importance of the matter."
Shen Anrong's right hand was bandaged thickly like a bear's paw because Ah Li's hairpin pierced his palm yesterday.
Seeing that Ali dared to speak so arrogantly about her guest, she naturally became furious.
She looked at Ah Li fiercely, "Ah Li, how dare you treat my guest like this? You are so rude. It seems that you want to kneel in the ancestral hall again."
Ah Li smiled and said, "It seems that the pain in my elder sister's hand is gone."
Ah Li ignored the two and walked inside. "Aunt Yucui, let's go. We have some things to discuss tonight. Don't let these people affect our mood."
"Yes, miss." Aunt Yucui responded.
Manzhu, Pingqi and others followed in unison.
Shen Anrong and Du Wanrou looked at Ah Li's slender back, and both of them had poison in their eyes.
The moment their eyes met, they both sensed each other's hatred towards Ali.
Shen Anrong chuckled, "I never thought that Miss Du, who is famous in Kyoto, would end up losing to a concubine's daughter."
Du Wanrou's eyes fell coldly on Shen Anrong's face, "Miss Shen, you are the daughter of a concubine. You don't think that no one knows about Prime Minister Shen's past, do you?"
"You know clearly whether she is the daughter of a concubine or you, the legitimate daughter, are not legitimate."
"You!" Shen Anrong widened his eyes in anger.
Du Wanrou changed her usual gentle and straightforward demeanor, and looked at Shen Anrong with poisonous eyes, "The one who is more panicked than me now is our Miss Shen."
"Miss Shen, cooperation requires sincerity. Don't treat others as fools." Du Wanrou looked at Shen Anrong with disdain, turned around and slowly left the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Shen Anrong stood alone in the yard for a long time. Finally, he stomped his feet angrily and quickly returned to his yard.
Shen Ali, Du Wanrou, one day I will trample all of you under my feet, just wait and see!
