The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.

Gu Mingzhao was weighed down with worries and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep until late at night.

After he came back, he turned his room upside down, trying to explore his past interpersonal relationships from traces of living there.

However, the room seemed to have been cleaned up in advance and no clues could be found.

He lay in bed, hesitating.

I am thinking about whether I should go find Liao Qinglan tomorrow and hear what she has to say.

Suddenly there was a slight noise near the window.

Then, a strange fragrance quietly drifted into the room and filled the air.

It's fragrant!

Who can't hold back and wants to harm him?

Could it be the same people who pushed him into the river?

Gu Mingzhao quickly thought of a countermeasure and decided to take advantage of the enemy's strategy.

He hid the Longyuan Sword under the quilt, closed his eyes and pretended to be unconscious.

*

The person outside the window was Liao Qinglan.

After lighting the incense stick, she stood outside the window and waited for a moment, until she was sure that the house was quiet, then she moved quietly.

The window was just at Liao Qinglan's waist. She supported herself on the window frame with both hands, jumped hard, and flipped over.

I had been squatting by the wall for too long, and my body was a little stiff. When I landed, my center of gravity was unstable, and I staggered and almost fell.

She was quick to move and grabbed hold of the desk before she fell.

"Crash-"

Along with the sound, the books on the desk scattered all over the floor.

The sudden sound made Liao Qinglan's heart tighten suddenly. She was afraid of waking up Gu Mingzhao, so she held her breath instantly and dared not move.

She carefully observed Gu Mingzhao's movements and was relieved to see that he was still sleeping as soundly as before.

He quickly squatted down, picked up the scattered books one by one, and put them back in their places.

After arranging the books, she stealthily moved to Gu Mingzhao's bed and gently patted his cheek.

Still not awake.

"Hey, I can't wake up even after this. Master's medicine must be too powerful!" she said to herself.

Her eyes fell on Gu Mingzhao's sleeping face.

Gu Mingzhao's cold and handsome appearance looked even more tranquil under the moonlight.

Even in his dreams, his brows were still furrowed, as if he had many unresolved worries.

Liao Qinglan's fingertips gently stroked his brows, and she couldn't help but want to smooth his brows.

"You frown even when you sleep. What's so annoying about you?" Liao Qinglan complained softly, as if she was talking to him, but more like she was talking to herself.

"I am the one who is really annoyed! Since you are a patient, I will not bother with you about what happened today. However, if it happens again, I will not forgive you even if your memory is restored!"

After saying that, she sat down on the edge of the bed, placed her fingers on Gu Mingzhao's pulse, and carefully distinguished the faint beats.

Then, Gu Mingzhao's pulse became very strange.

Sometimes it is clear and powerful, sometimes it is faint and hard to find.

It was like something was interfering with its normal beating.

Liao Qinglan was startled and hurriedly put her ear close to his chest, half leaning on him to listen carefully to his heartbeat.

Gu Mingzhao's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and she felt frightened just listening to it.

If nothing can be found from the pulse, the only thing we can do is check for any external injuries.

Liao Qinglan held Gu Mingzhao's head with both hands, starting from the forehead and carefully touching all the way to the back of the head.

She checked every inch of the head and found no signs of injury.

"Strange, there is no external injury at all, how could he lose his memory?"

Liao Qinglan's medical skills were still limited, and she had no better solution, so she had to give up for the time being and planned to wait for her master to come before consulting together.

She stared at Gu Mingzhao's sleeping face, feeling mixed emotions.

She gently raised her hand to tidy up the loose hair on his forehead, her fingertips running through his hair.

"A Zhao, I originally had a lot to say to you, but you didn't want to listen."

"You definitely don't know how worried I was when I heard about your accident."

"I've been praying all the way. As long as you're okay, I'll do anything for you."

"You have to get better soon. Once you regain your memory, we will get married right away."

"It doesn't matter if you can't remember. You've always been the one taking the initiative. This time, it's my turn to take the initiative and walk towards you."

Liao Qinglan spoke a lot without any clue, saying whatever came to her mind.

After talking until he was dry-mouthed, he got up and left.

She walked to the window and retraced her steps.

When she turned over to the corridor and closed the window, as soon as she turned around, a sharp sword was silently placed on her delicate white neck.

"Qing Feng."

She glanced at the man holding the sword calmly and called out his name.

Qing Feng was a little surprised: "How do you know me?"

"We met once before, in the Dali Temple, and you pointed your sword at me like this."

Qing Feng said coldly: "But I remember that I didn't tell you my name."

Liao Qinglan frowned frivolously: "Couldn't Gu Mingzhao have told me?"

Qing Feng's face darkened: "Your Highness actually told you about my existence?"

Liao Qinglan smiled and said, "Your Highness and I are closer than you think."

"So what? You are worse than a stranger to His Highness now. He even hates you a little." Qing Feng sneered.

Liao Qinglan's eyes darkened: "Were you talking nonsense in front of him?"

Although it was a question, her tone was very certain.

"Miss Liao, I have no intention of making an enemy of you, but you and His Highness are not of the same kind, and it is not appropriate for you to be together."

"Whether it is suitable or not is not up to you to decide." Liao Qinglan said.

"You have always had a smooth life, but Your Highness experienced hardships in his early years, and the road ahead will not be smooth either. Why do you want to gamble with your own happiness?"

Qing Feng's words sounded as if he was thinking about Liao Qinglan, but she found them very harsh.

"Since you know that I have had smooth sailing throughout my life, you should believe that if I marry your Highness, it will only make his life smoother as well."

Seeing that she was so stubborn, Qing Feng said angrily: "Don't refuse my toast and drink the forfeit!"

Liao Qinglan gently stroked the white fox fur coat on her body, as if caressing her lover's skin.

This was given to her by Gu Mingzhao today.

"Are you angry already? What's the point of you being dissatisfied with me? As long as His Highness likes me, that's all. Even though His Highness has lost his memory, he is afraid that I will be cold, so he puts a cloak on me."

Liao Qinglan giggled, looking like a devilish concubine who was bringing disaster to the country.

Qing Feng was thinking in his mind whether he could kill her without leaving any trace.

Liao Qinglan went out by herself and no one knew where she went.

What's more, the Longyuan people have been hiding in the dark, and no one knows of his existence except Gu Mingzhao.

Now is the best chance to kill her.

Just as Qing Feng was about to take action, Gu Mingzhao's door suddenly opened.

"It's so noisy late at night, it's giving me a headache!"

Gu Mingzhao walked out with a frown on his face, his eyes sweeping between the two people at the window.

"Qing Feng, what are you doing here?"

"Your Highness, this woman was sneaking around here and was caught by my subordinates!"

"I have something to ask her. Please go down first."

"Your Highness!" This Central Plains woman was full of tricks, and he was afraid that His Highness would fall into her trap again.

"Go down." Gu Mingzhao repeated without allowing any room for argument.

Qing Feng didn't dare to say anything more and could only lower his head and retreat.

Liao Qinglan stared at Gu Mingzhao in a daze.

Shouldn't he be asleep? Why did he come out at this time?
