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

After Qingfeng left, only Liao Qinglan was left standing blankly by the window.

"If I say I was just passing by, would you believe me?"

She blinked her big eyes and tried to look innocent.

"Come in and talk." Gu Mingzhao glanced at her and said lightly.

Whenever Liao Qinglan thought about what happened this afternoon, she felt a lingering fear, fearing that he would suddenly go crazy again.

Her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground and she dared not move a step.

Seeing that she was still not moving, Gu Mingzhao asked jokingly, "Why, do you want to go with Qingfeng?"

Upon hearing this, Liao Qinglan immediately shook her head like a rattle and waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, I'd better follow you."

After saying that, she reluctantly followed Gu Mingzhao into the room.

"Go through the main door in the future, and don't climb through the windows anymore." Gu Mingzhao said suddenly, "You are so clumsy, it's hard for me to pretend I can't hear you."

Liao Qinglan felt guilty and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness... have you not slept all this time?"

Gu Mingzhao sat quietly at the table and did not give a direct answer, which was considered as his agreement.

He originally wanted to secretly observe Liao Qinglan to see what her intention was when she sneaked into the room late at night.

If she had behaved in any unusual way just now, he would have killed her without hesitation.

It would have been fine if she just took his pulse carefully, but while she was doing that, she suddenly leaned on his chest.

Gu Mingzhao smelled a faint fragrance coming from his nose.

The smell made him feel strangely familiar and at ease.

My body reacted unconsciously.

Fortunately, the quilt was covered tightly, hiding the abnormality of my body.

But his pounding heart still betrayed him.

This feeling is completely different from the natural aversion she felt when Ruyan approached her.

He had to admit that he was willing to have close contact with Liao Qinglan.

It seems that it can only be her...

And what she had just said sounded so sincere that he couldn't help but want to believe it.

"Do you know that you almost died just now?"

Seeing that she still showed no fear, Gu Mingzhao's voice became stern.

"Ah? Is it you, or Qing Feng?"

Liao Qinglan was startled by his sudden questioning and met Gu Mingzhao's gaze with a blank look in her eyes.

"Qing Feng had already developed murderous intent just now. If I hadn't come out, I'm afraid you would have become a dead soul under his sword." Gu Mingzhao said.

Liao Qinglan didn't take Qingfeng's matter to heart. She keenly noticed that when Gu Mingzhao spoke to her, he no longer called himself "the King".

"Your Highness, don't you want me to die?" Liao Qinglan tested his attitude towards her.

Gu Mingzhao said: "No matter what, you are my fiancée. If you die inexplicably, I will lose face."

This doesn't sound like you care about her...

But at least her identity has been acknowledged, so my trip tonight was not in vain.

Seeing her still standing stupidly at the door, Gu Mingzhao couldn't help but frowned: "What are you still daydreaming about? Come in and close the door."

Liao Qinglan still felt a lingering fear when she thought about what happened in the afternoon.

But now Gu Mingzhao is very defensive. If he misses this opportunity today, he doesn't know if he will have another chance to defend himself in the future.

Just go in!

She had never seen what Gu Mingzhao looked like.

Could it be worse than when he forced me to sleep with him?

Liao Qinglan made up her mind, walked into the room and sat down opposite Gu Mingzhao.

"What are you doing here?"

"You didn't let me take your pulse during the day, so I came here secretly to confirm why you lost your memory." She stated her intention directly.

"Have you found out the reason?"

She shook her head in frustration.

The Jizhou prefect invited many famous doctors to treat him but to no avail, and he did not expect Liao Qinglan to achieve anything.

"Then let me ask you something you know. Why did Qing Feng target you?"

Liao Qinglan shook her head again.

Logically speaking, Qing Feng is Gu Mingzhao's secret guard and should know the relationship between himself and Gu Mingzhao.

She also didn't understand why Qing Feng was so hostile towards her.

"Then do you know Ruyan?"

"Yes, she is the top performer in Zui Hong Lou. Have you met her?"

If we hadn't met, I wouldn't have mentioned her for no reason.

"Now I'm asking you." Gu Mingzhao said with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Oh." Liao Qinglan felt like she was being interrogated like a criminal.

"What is the relationship between me and Ruyan?"

"do not know."

This was the third time Liao Qinglan shook her head tonight.

Although combined with Gu Mingzhao's experience, one can guess that they must have met in a brothel when they were young.

But these were not glorious things, and she was afraid that Gu Mingzhao would get angry and embarrassed if she told them.

To be on the safe side, she decided to say less and make fewer mistakes.

"Then what is the relationship between me and Wang Tingzhi? Do you know why I brought him to Jizhou?"

Liao Qinglan: “…”

This...how should he answer?

Tell him he's a love rival?

If I say that, will he misunderstand the relationship between me and Wang Tingzhi...

Liao Qinglan was struggling internally, wavering between saying it and not saying it.

Before she made a decision, Gu Mingzhao became impatient.

"Why, you don't know him?" Gu Mingzhao asked.

"Well... I'm not very familiar with him." Liao Qinglan shook her head again.

"Heh." Gu Mingzhao sneered, "Fiancée?"

Although there are only three words, the sarcasm in this sentence is very obvious.

Liao Qinglan felt that in his eyes, she was just a swindler...

She couldn't help but lower her head and whispered, "I really didn't lie to you."

"I know."

Liao Qinglan's heart trembled slightly.

What does know mean?

Do you believe in yourself?

She was nervous but didn't dare to ask more questions.

Gu Mingzhao suddenly changed the subject: "Since you are already here, do what you should do."

Liao Qinglan was stunned and asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"

"That Ruyan, she claims to be my concubine, but I get annoyed when I see her, go and send her away."

Liao Qinglan was speechless for a moment, feeling mixed emotions.

They haven't even gotten married yet, but I already have to start dealing with the chaos in his backyard.

"Your Highness, she is not your concubine." Liao Qinglan explained.

"Qing Feng has already told me."

"Then why don't you just let her go?"

"I suspected she was related to the person who pushed me into the river, so I didn't expose her for the time being."

"Why do you doubt this?" Liao Qinglan asked.

"She looks weak, but she was able to save me before Qing Feng when I was in danger. Do you think I will believe that this matter has nothing to do with her?"

Liao Qinglan suddenly understood.

It turned out that it was Ruyan who saved Gu Mingzhao.

She secretly felt lucky that although Gu Mingzhao had lost his memory, his brain was not damaged.

"If she saved you, then I can probably guess who wants to harm you." Liao Qinglan frowned and slowly uttered the disgusting name, "Second Prince, Li Jin."

"Li Jin..."

A hint of coldness flashed across Gu Mingzhao's eyes.

Qing Feng also mentioned that the people who harmed him were none other than the Second Prince, the Third Prince and Duke Zheng.

Liao Qinglan nodded: "Ruyan once worked for the Second Prince. I saw it with my own eyes. I can't be wrong."

"I understand. Think of a way to prevent her from appearing in front of me in the future."

"Your Highness, don't you want to follow Ruyan's clue to find the person who hurt you?"

"It's Li Jin. You just told me."

"But even if you know it's him, you have no evidence..."

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't we calm Ruyan down, follow the clues, find the evidence, and report it to the authorities?

"To deal with a person, you need means, not evidence."

Gu Mingzhao looked at Liao Qinglan with disdain, as if she was the fool with a broken brain.

Liao Qinglan was so shocked by him that she was speechless.

After losing his memory, did he act so decisively and wildly...
