"The fifth brother that Princess Xian mentioned is the fifth prince of the late emperor, and the crown prince who was appointed by the late emperor."
"Crown Prince?" Ali looked at Gu Qichuan with some surprise. Although she had not experienced a feudal dynasty, she had read many books and knew that for anyone who was canonized as a crown prince, if he failed to ascend the throne successfully, the result would not be good.
"Did the current emperor seize the throne from the fifth prince?" asked Ali.
"The Fifth Prince is the only child of the late Emperor and Empress. He was made the Crown Prince when he was born, but he is nearly twenty years younger than the current Emperor. The late Emperor was already bedridden before the Fifth Prince reached adulthood."

"The current emperor is both a man of letters and military prowess. The fifth prince is young and has always been in poor health. Later, the current emperor took out the edict of the late emperor and passed the throne to the current emperor."
"After the Emperor ascended the throne, he named the fifth prince the Prince of Jin and gave him a rich land as his fief. He also issued an imperial decree to allow Prince Jin to recuperate in the capital."
"Because of Prince Jin's special status, the nobles and royal relatives in the court dare not associate with him. After all, no one can figure out the emperor's thoughts."
"When the late emperor was alive, he doted on Prince Jin very much. Prince Jin spent his childhood in the imperial study. He was the child that the late emperor nurtured with the most care. If he had not been weak, it would have been unknown who would have taken over the throne."
"What about the late queen?" asked Ali.
Gu Qichuan paused for a moment, "The late queen died of illness less than half a year after giving birth to Prince Jin."
"The late queen was a kindhearted person. She cared for many people sincerely. The late emperor loved her deeply. After the late queen passed away, he never set foot in the harem again."
"The current Queen Mother and the late Queen are like sisters. The Queen was also raised by the late Queen. Princess Hyeon was also raised by the late Queen for several years. The King Hyeon was also favored by the late Queen."
"So many of them carefully protect Prince Jin, all for the sake of the late queen."
Ah Li sighed, "I saw today that although Prince Jin was quiet, he was very respectful to Princess Xian. He must be a sentimental person."
"It's a pity that such a person is not suitable to be born into the royal family." Gu Qichuan sighed a little.
"Should we save him?" asked Ali.
"Save him. King Xian, Queen Xian, the Queen Mother and the Queen will all try their best to help cover up this matter. As long as we don't say anything ourselves, no one will know." Gu Qichuan said after thinking for a while.
Ali nodded. She definitely wanted to save him in her heart. She was very interested in the complex interaction between the toxicity and its negative effects.
"Shall we take him to the General's Mansion?"
"Let's not go back to the general's mansion. Let's go directly to the manor and live there for a while." Gu Qichuan said.
"Okay." Ali nodded. She would meet fewer people in the manor.
Although she had to deal with Prime Minister Shen, she could at least relieve Prince Jin's pain first.
After the two of them had discussed it, they began to appreciate the beauty of Merlin sincerely.
Half an hour later, I went back to have dinner with everyone.
Princess Xian's maid respectfully stepped forward and whispered to Ah Li, "Madam Gu, the princess asked me to ask when you plan to come to Meilin to collect herbs?"
"Tomorrow." Ali replied.
"I will go and report to the princess now." The maid bowed and left.
When Princess Hyeon heard the maid's reply, she almost couldn't control her emotions. She clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves to maintain a gentle expression.
"Ali, my scars and chronic illnesses can be cured, so I will give this Merlin to you." Princess Xian looked at Ah Li.
Ah Li stood up and bowed to express her gratitude, "Ah Li dare not accept the princess's generous gift."
"Ali, don't be polite, it's settled." Princess Xian made the final decision.
Ah Li had no choice but to bow and thank Princess Hyun as she insisted.
Everyone whispered, "Is this general's wife really that capable?"
"If there really is one, then we must do our best to make friends with him. After all, a miracle doctor is hard to come by."
In the second half of the plum blossom viewing banquet, Ah-Li was surrounded by ladies and young ladies who took the initiative to talk to her. Ah-Li was overwhelmed for a while, but she couldn't just leave, so she had to bite the bullet and greet them.
Gu Qichuan was also invited to chat by the generals of the same dynasty.
No one had seen General Gu for a long time. Since he returned to the capital with crippled legs and disfigured face, many people wanted to pay a visit to him, but Gu Qichuan refused. Everyone thought he was in a bad mood, so no one went to disturb him.
Today at the plum blossom viewing party, we saw that he had fully recovered, so we wanted to strike up a conversation with him.
Before they knew it, Gu Qichuan and A Li were separated.
Ali followed the other female family members to another place. Later, when everyone was tired, they went to rest at the place arranged by Queen Hyeon.
Ali was in a solitary courtyard. As soon as she entered the room, she heard the door behind her being closed with a bang.
Ah Li raised the corners of her lips slightly: Sure enough, the plan was delayed but it came true.
She looked up and saw a young man with a flushed face sitting in the room. When the man saw Ah Li, his eyes lit up, "Where did this little beauty come from? She has spent a lot of money to plot against me."
The man's eyes wandered over Ah Li's face, as if he really didn't know her. He simply looked at her with a look of scrutiny and disgust.
Ah Li raised her eyebrows. She was such a beautiful face, but it was the first time she saw someone expressing disgust towards her appearance, except Cui Yuewei and Shen Anrong.
"Who are you?" Ali asked.
"Stop pretending. Don't you know what they asked you to do?" There was a hint of viciousness in the man's eyes. He stood up and walked towards Ah Li. The hot breath on his body already explained his condition.
Ali held two needles in her hands, and the moment the man came over, the needles pierced directly into his body.
The man's body was immobilized, and Ali quickly moved and pierced his body with several more needles.
The heat in the man's body instantly dissipated, and he looked at Ah Li, "You!"
"What do you mean by me? You're just a nobody, and you're so smart that you could be locked up in a house by someone's trick." Ali said calmly.
Yes, she was deliberately attacking this person because he had just shown such great malice towards her.
There were rustling footsteps outside. Ah Li quickly picked up her needle and pointed to the window, "You can leave now. Leave quickly."
The man glared at Ah Li fiercely, then turned and left through the window.
Ali tidied herself up and sat on the edge of the bed. The door was pushed open with a bang, and several maids screamed, "The general's wife is here, there is a man in the room!"
"Someone come quickly, something's happened to the general's wife."
Ah Li raised her eyebrows: Really, when you slander others, can't you take a closer look?
Gu Qichuan was the first to rush into the room and landed beside Ah Li.
Ali winked at him.
Gu Qichuan understood what she meant instantly. He raised his hand and slapped the old woman who was standing at the door and shouting, sending her flying.
The old woman fell a few meters away, vomited blood, and her head tilted, she was lifeless.
