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

Old Madam Qin watched Old Grand Tutor Qin walk away.

After she completely disappeared from sight, she took Qin Yanran's hand and said earnestly: "Yanran, don't listen to your grandfather. A woman's virtue is important, but if she can't win a man's heart, she will never be happy in her life."

Qin Yanran bit her lower lip and nodded: "Grandma, Yanran understands that it was because I was too reserved in the past that Liao Qinglan got there first and I missed the opportunity. I will definitely not be timid now!"

Old Madam Qin was very pleased to see her granddaughter was so insightful: "Fortunately, you are an understanding person. Your grandfather is a man, how could he understand how difficult it is for us women to live in our husband's family."

"Don't worry, grandma. My goal is not only to be the Princess of Qin, but also to be favored by His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin!"

"My silly granddaughter, it's good that you understand. But I have to remind you that the King of Qin was inseparable from Liao before he got married. I also heard that when he was in Jizhou, he was accompanied by a courtesan... It can be seen that he is not a person who abides by the rules of etiquette. You have to think of some other ways..."

"Grandma means..."

Old Madam Qin patted Qin Yanran on the shoulder and motioned her to come closer.

She looked around and confirmed that no one was eavesdropping before continuing mysteriously, "I have secretly contacted a mother from Zui Hong Lou and asked her to teach you some bedroom skills. If you can let His Royal Highness the King of Qin enjoy some different boudoir pleasures, you will definitely receive more favors!"

Qin Yanran blushed when she heard this, and replied shyly, "Don't worry, grandma. I will definitely live up to your hard work."

In the military camp.

Everyone in the Liao family and Gu Mingzhao still stayed there, concerned about Liao Qinglan who was lying on the sickbed.

The emperor sympathized with Liao Zhendong's sudden family change and granted him half a month of rest.

During this half month, Liao Zhendong and Cheng Yunxiang visited Liao Qinglan every day.

No matter when they arrived, Gu Mingzhao always stayed quietly by Liao Qinglan's side.

Whenever they arrived, Gu Mingzhao would stand up, politely give up his seat, and listen to them talking with Liao Qinglan.

And when they were about to leave, Gu Mingzhao sat back silently beside the bed and continued his guard.

In this situation, it seemed like a guest coming to visit, and Gu Mingzhao became the host of the sickbed.

Of course Cheng Yunxiang didn't like his behavior of taking over the guest's position, and told him several times to leave, saying that having her as his mother was enough here.

But no matter what they said to Gu Mingzhao, Gu Mingzhao acted as if he didn't hear it.

Liao Wei had brought Linglong here earlier because he thought that since Linglong was familiar with Liao Qinglan, she would be able to serve him more reliably than anyone else.

But the next day after Linglong arrived, she secretly found Cheng Yunxiang.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin personally handles everything from changing the young lady's dressings, feeding her medicine, massaging her, and cleaning her body. He strictly forbids others from interfering."

Linglong certainly wanted to take care of the young lady personally, but every time she was about to step forward, she would be stopped by Gu Mingzhao. She felt anxious and helpless.

Cheng Yunxiang was worried, so he went to Liao Qinglan's residence with Linglong to observe.

Gu Mingzhao's technique was very skillful, and every movement he made revealed endless tenderness and patience, and there was not a single flaw to be found.

Even a maid as clever and skillful as Linglong had to admit that it would be difficult for her to do better than him.

Day after day, the half-month period passed in a flash.

There was a mountain of official business piling up in the court, and Liao Zhendong could no longer delay it.

So, he took Liao Wei back to Beijing first, leaving Cheng Yunxiang and Linglong to continue to look after Liao Qinglan.

Cheng Yunxiang had long been filled with resentment towards Gu Mingzhao.

But when Liao Zhendong was around, he always took Gu Mingzhao's identity into consideration and stopped her from contacting him.

Now that Liao Zhendong has returned to the capital, Cheng Yunxiang finally has the chance to find Gu Mingzhao to speak out about what she has been holding back on.

"Your Highness Prince Qin, my prime minister has already set off for Beijing. When do you plan to go back?" Cheng Yunxiang asked.

Gu Mingzhao was sitting in front of the bed, massaging Liao Qinglan's muscles all over her body.

He looked focused, with only Liao Qinglan in his eyes.

Facing Cheng Yunxiang's questioning, he remained silent, just glanced at her lightly and continued with what he was doing.

"You are of noble status. Even if you disobey the order, His Majesty will not blame you." Seeing his attitude, Cheng Yunxiang raised her voice a few notches, "But have you ever thought about what will happen to our Liao family and Lan'er? If His Majesty is angry with us, how will Lan'er deal with it?"

Gu Mingzhao paused for a moment, and finally responded, "I'll explain it to him."

Seeing that direct persuasion didn't work, Cheng Yunxiang decided to try another approach.

She sat next to Liao Qinglan, touched her sleeping face, and said softly, "Our Lan'er has been well-read since she was young. What she hopes most in her life is to have the opportunity to achieve success. She once said that her lover should either be able to write peace for the world or ride a horse to rule the world... In short, he should not be a man who only stays at home and feels sorry for himself."

Gu Mingzhao's hand paused again.

If Liao Qinglan wakes up and looks like this, won’t she like him?

"Thank you for your advice, Madam. I will take Qinglan back with me when she gets better."

After saying that, Gu Mingzhao stretched out his hand and lightly touched the buttons on Liao Qinglan's chest with his fingertips, preparing to take off her clothes to apply medicine.

This scene was like a bolt of lightning to Cheng Yunxiang, the mother.

Her eyes were fixed on Gu Mingzhao's actions, and the astonishment in her heart was beyond words.

I'm afraid no mother in the world can tolerate a man taking off her daughter's clothes in front of her.

Cheng Yunxiang calmed down and said unhappily, "Your Highness, although I am lucky enough to have been engaged to you, you are not married yet. Is it inappropriate to be so intimate?"

"In my heart, she is my only wife."

Cheng Yunxiang's eyes widened in shock. She never expected Gu Mingzhao to say such a thing.

She was stunned for a long time before she managed to find her voice again: "But...but Lan'er...she has become like this now, how can she get married? Don't worry, Your Highness, our Liao family will not keep pestering you just because of a marriage contract."

Gu Mingzhao shook his head: "This is a marriage granted by His Majesty, I will definitely abide by it. When I lost my memory, she did not give up on me; now that she is sick, I will naturally not leave her. I will wait for her to wake up and spend the rest of my life with her."

Cheng Yunxiang was stunned. She never expected Gu Mingzhao to be so persistent.

The difference between losing memory and becoming a living dead is like an insurmountable chasm, but Gu Mingzhao chose to stick to it without hesitation.

Cheng Yunxiang sighed.

It seems that he really cares about his daughter...

God, please grant them their wish...
