Liao Qinglan went out early and came back late every day, running around the market for three consecutive days, and finally visited all the merchants listed in the booklet one by one.

On the afternoon of the third day, when she returned to the prefectural government office, she saw a familiar carriage parked outside the door. It was the Liao family's carriage.

She was delighted, thinking it must be her Master and Jinxiu who had arrived!

Liao Qinglan hurriedly walked through the corridor and returned to her courtyard. As soon as she entered the door, she called out loudly, "Master! Jinxiu!"

As I stepped into the courtyard, the tempting aroma of food hit my nose, and I felt like I was back home.

Jinxiu heard the shouting and walked out of the kitchen with a spatula in her hand. She looked at Liao Qinglan with eyes full of heartache.

"Miss, it's only been seven days since we last met, and you've lost a lot of weight."

Liao Qinglan chuckled and said, "With Jinxiu away, I have no appetite and can't sleep at night, so I naturally lose weight."

"Don't worry, miss. I will cook delicious food for you every day and make sure you'll be satisfied!" Even though she knew that Liao Qinglan was just joking with her, Jinxiu still enjoyed it.

Liao Qinglan looked around and didn't see Mo Wang, so she asked, "Where is my master? Gu Mingzhao's condition still needs his attention."

Jinxiu said: "Mr. Mo knew that the young lady was worried about His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, so he went to look for him as soon as he arrived in Jizhou, and he hasn't come back yet."

Liao Qinglan's heart tightened, fearing that Gu Mingzhao was too defensive and might be disrespectful to his master.

She hurried to Gu Mingzhao's residence.

When Liao Qinglan ran over breathlessly, Gu Mingzhao and Mo Wang were talking in low voices in the yard, and the atmosphere seemed quite harmonious.

When Gu Mingzhao saw him coming, he looked a little embarrassed and turned his head away from her unnaturally.

"Master, what were you talking about just now?" Liao Qinglan asked curiously.

"Nothing!" Gu Mingzhao answered first, "Senior Mo is treating me."

Mo Wang looked at Gu Mingzhao, smiled meaningfully, and did not refute.

Liao Qinglan asked: "Master, what is the condition of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin? I am not very knowledgeable and cannot find out the cause of the disease."

"It's not your fault. It's right that you can't diagnose him. He's as strong as an ox. There's really no disease in his body."

"If there is no disease, then why did he lose his memory?" Liao Qinglan found it even more strange.

"If it's not injury, then of course it must be some other reason." Mo Wang touched his beard and pondered.

Liao Qinglan was a little anxious: "Master, please stop keeping me in suspense and tell me now!"

"Based on my experience, he must have been bewitched."

"Gu magic?" Liao Qinglan asked in surprise, "The Gu insects from Miaojiang?"

"Yes, his pulse is abnormal, as if there is a parasite in his body, so I guess it is caused by the poisonous insect."

"Master, do you have any way to remove the poison?" Liao Qinglan asked anxiously.

Mo Wang shook his head: "Once the Gu worm has entered the body, it cannot be removed by ordinary means. Only by finding someone who is also proficient in Gu techniques can we hope to draw out the Gu worm."

Liao Qinglan thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go to the black market and offer a reward. Can I find someone who knows Gu magic?"

"There are all kinds of people in the black market, and it's hard to tell the real from the fake. I have a friend who is a Gu Master in Miaojiang, we can go to her for help." Mo Wang said.

Liao Qinglan turned to look at Gu Mingzhao, her eyes full of anticipation: "Your Highness, shall we go to Miaojiang?"

In fact, Gu Mingzhao didn’t care much about the memories of the past, but when he saw Liao Qinglan’s expectant eyes, he couldn’t bear to reject her feelings, so he agreed.

"Once the affairs of Jizhou are settled, we will go to Miaojiang."

Liao Qinglan was very satisfied with this answer.

"Jinxiu prepared a lot of delicious food. I'll call Master back to eat. Your Highness, can you come too?"

Gu Mingzhao did not refuse, and the three of them returned to Liao Qinglan's yard together.

Jinxiu brought out all of her specialties today.

Four people sat around a table, tasting the delicious food and praising it highly.

After eating and drinking, everyone ate a lot, so it was inevitable that the food was a bit greasy.

Liao Qinglan planned to go back to her room to get some tea to relieve her greasy feeling.

When she returned to the room, she found that the furnishings and layout of the room had all been changed. Except for the slightly different furniture, everything else was exactly the same as her room in Liao's mansion!

She didn't expect that Jinxiu could bring so many things.

She even brought her favorite ice jade pillow!

She walked to the bed and was surprised to find a sandalwood box lying next to the pillow.

She picked up the box, opened the lid, and saw that everything inside was still there. She couldn't help but said happily, "Jinxiu, you even brought this!"

"The young lady holds it in her arms as she falls asleep every night. I thought it must be something she treasures, so I brought it along."

Liao Qinglan looked at her approvingly: "You did a great job. I'll give you a raise when you get back!"

The work was done to the young lady's heart's content, and Jinxiu was very happy and had a big smile on her face.

Liao Qinglan put the box away carefully, took the tea leaves and walked out.

She is proficient in the tea ceremony. She gently lifts the tea lid, puts the tea into the pot, and pours water to boil it. Her movements are as smooth as poetry, and the fragrance of tea fills the air in an instant.

Mo Wang was already exhausted from days of running around, so after two cups of tea he stood up and said goodbye.

Gu Mingzhao was also about to leave, but was stopped by Liao Qinglan.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment. I have something to tell you."

Liao Qinglan took Gu Mingzhao to her boudoir and closed the door.

She pushed the box in front of Gu Mingzhao and said softly, "Your Highness, look at what this is."

Gu Mingzhao opened the wooden box and saw neatly stacked letters inside. They were obviously carefully kept by the owner.

There were more than a dozen letters in it. Gu Mingzhao read them one by one without saying a word.

After he finished reading the last letter and put it away, Liao Qinglan looked up and asked proudly, "Can you recognize who wrote this?"

"It's my handwriting." Gu Mingzhao admitted generously.

"Then you don't have anything to say to me?" This shouldn't be the case. Why is there no reaction at all?

"What do you want to hear me say?" Gu Mingzhao asked back.

Liao Qinglan was somewhat skeptical whether the letter contained the letter that Gu Mingzhao had sent to him in Jizhou.

This reaction is too bland!

In Gu Mingzhao's courtyard.

Gu Mingzhao: Do ​​you mean that girls under the age of eighteen are considered immature and cannot experience sexual intercourse?

Mo Wang: That’s right.

Gu Mingzhao: But girls can get married at the age of fifteen...

Mo Wang: Just because you can get married doesn't mean it's right. You're too young and it's easy to hurt your body. Don't mess with my apprentice!

Gu Mingzhao: …………

When I think about how I once reacted to Liao Qinglan's touch, I feel guilty...
