Gu Linchao replied, "They are most likely assassins from Bei Di."
Seeing that he didn't suspect Gu Heng at all, Wen Nongnong paused for a moment and couldn't help but say, "Not necessarily, maybe he's the prince's political enemy."
Gu Linchao grasped her hand. "You handled this matter very well. In any case, it was the right thing to have the border generals strengthen their defenses."
Wen Nongnong hesitated for a moment before saying, "I had Gu Yi keep the news of Your Highness's blindness a secret, and I also told my uncle not to make a fuss when he got back. I asked him to take a leave of absence for you for a while."
Gu Linchao paused for a moment, then asked, "What is Nongnong worried about?"
Wen Nongnong wanted to say that it was naturally to prevent Gu Heng from seizing military power, but she held back and changed her words to: "One should always be wary of others! Your Highness is of noble status and is responsible for the great cause and the country. If someone with ulterior motives finds out about your blindness, it may bring you harm. Therefore, I think it is better to keep your blindness a secret for now."
Upon hearing this, Gu Linchao reached out and patted her head.
He knew what she was worried about, sighed inwardly, and said softly, "What if my eyes never recover?"

Gu Linchao sighed softly, then held her without saying a word.

Wen Nong Nong hurriedly pushed Gu Lin Chao away, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
It was incredibly embarrassing to be seen embracing and hugging in a sacred Buddhist sanctuary, especially when the abbot caught it.
"Master." Gu Linchao calmly called out softly in the direction from which the voice had come.
Master Xuanqing looked at the two of them gently and walked over. "Is Hengzhi feeling any better?"
Gu Linchao said, "It's nothing serious." Then, turning to Wen Nongnong, he said, "Nongnong, pour your master a cup of tea."
"Oh, okay." Wen Nongnong helped him sit down at the stone table under the tree, then invited Master Xuanqing to sit down before taking Lüqiao down to make tea.
"How has Master been lately?" Gu Linchao asked.
"I am well." Master Xuanqing examined his complexion and said, "Extend your hand, let me take your pulse."
"Okay." Gu Linchao extended his hand as instructed.
