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

Not long after Gu Mingzhao left, Liao Zhendong and his guards found the hunting lodge.

His face was full of anxiety and his eyes were full of worry. As soon as he saw Liao Qinglan, he looked her up and down, fearing that she might be injured.

Seeing her father so worried, Liao Qinglan comforted him, "Father, I'm fine. I just can't find the way back home, so I can only wait here for you to find me."

Only then did Liao Zhendong feel relieved.

But when he found that Liao Qinglan's clothes were torn and the white bandage was faintly visible inside, his face changed drastically: "Your leg is injured? Is it serious?"

Liao Qinglan quickly explained: "It's okay, I've already dealt with it, it's not a problem."

Liao Zhendong felt a little relieved when he saw that his daughter looked calm despite her pale face.

There are many guards guarding outside, so it is not convenient to check the injuries here, so I can only take my daughter back first.

"Don't be afraid, Lan'er, Daddy will take you home now." Liao Zhendong said gently, helping Liao Qinglan to stand up.

As Liao Zhendong walked, he told her how thrilling today's events were.

"The horse you were riding fell off the cliff. I was so nervous when I found the horse's body at the bottom of the cliff. Fortunately, there was no trace of you at the bottom of the cliff. I searched for you on the mountain for a whole day. Later, someone saw fireworks in this direction, and we followed the smoke to find this place."

As they walked, Liao Qinglan suddenly remembered the incident of the horse being frightened.

"Father, why would the horse suddenly get frightened?" Liao Qinglan asked.

Upon hearing this, Liao Zhendong's face darkened and his voice became a little colder: "It's not an accident. Someone tampered with the saddle. The bottom of the saddle is full of needles. As long as someone sits on it, the horse will go crazy."

Liao Qinglan was horrified.

She suddenly remembered the abnormal little eunuch today. When Wang Tingzhi asked him questions, he kept hesitating.

It was all her own fault. She was so distracted by Gu Mingzhao and Qin Yanran that she didn't notice such obvious abnormality.

Male beauty really misleads people!

"It's my fault for being careless." Liao Qinglan said with some self-blame.

Liao Zhendong patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's not your fault. You act uprightly. How could you have thought that someone would dare to do something in the royal enclosure?"

"Do you know who wants to harm me?"

"An Linglong." Liao Zhendong got angry when he mentioned this name. "As soon as you got into trouble, Wang Tingzhi immediately arrested the eunuch who sent the horse. By the time he confessed the mastermind, An Linglong had already been sent to her hometown in Yizhou by Concubine An."

Liao Qinglan thought to herself, it was indeed her.

Apart from An Linglong, he has no enemies in the capital.

An Linglong had been at odds with her for both of her lives, and she also understood An Linglong's character.

An Linglong has never been very smart and likes to hide her limelight in front of others.

It's not like she would use such a sinister trick.

I'm afraid there's something else behind this matter.

Liao Qinglan was afraid that her father would worry, so she kept these thoughts to herself and did not say them out loud.

Liao Zhendong began to ask how she was rescued.

"I found the right moment and jumped off the horse." Liao Qinglan was vague and did not mention the fact that Gu Mingzhao saved her.

Fall off a horse?

Even if you fall off a horse while it is running normally, you will probably break your arms and legs.

My daughter fell off the crazy horse, but she only suffered minor injuries.

Although Liao Zhendong was very confused, he did not delve into it further.

As long as my daughter is safe and sound, I will just consider it as a blessing from Bodhisattva.

After returning to the palace, Wang Tingzhi brought the imperial physician and waited outside Liao Qinglan's door.

Seeing her coming back, Wang Tingzhi immediately stepped forward and said guiltily, "I'm sorry for letting you get into trouble in front of me."

Liao Qinglan perked up and smiled politely, "How can I blame Lord Wang? I heard from my father that it was all thanks to you that you caught that little eunuch in the first place and found out the real culprit behind the scene."

Wang Tingzhi's face showed even more guilt: "But I still let An Linglong escape... Don't worry, I will make her pay the price."

Liao Qinglan would just listen to such words and would never take them seriously.

With Concubine An protecting her, who can do anything to An Linglong?

If he really wanted to help her, he would chase her at full speed today and would definitely catch up with An Linglong.

Now it is simply for the sake of Concubine An that she is allowed to leave the capital and avoid the limelight for a while.

After some time, this matter will be over. If it is mentioned again, it will be regarded as Liao Qinglan being petty.

Liao Qinglan said calmly: "Thank you, Master Wang. This matter has passed. There is no need to pursue it further."

Wang Tingzhi came from a noble family, so how could he not understand this tacit understanding?

He wanted to vent his anger for Liao Qinglan, but he couldn't do it.

Standing behind him were the Langya Wang family and the Queen.

If the Queen keeps holding on to An Linglong, it would be like declaring war on Concubine An.

The Second Prince has deep roots in the court, and offending Concubine An would undoubtedly create a powerful enemy for the family.

He couldn't help but consider his aunt.

While Wang Tingzhi felt guilty, he was even more relieved that Liao Qinglan was sensible and sensible.

Such a woman is very suitable to be the head wife of a large family.

Thinking of this, his voice softened a bit, and he turned to the imperial physician and said, "Go and help Miss Liao check her injuries."

The imperial physician went in to check and came out soon.

"Miss Liao only has superficial injuries, no broken bones, and they have been treated immediately. She only needs to rest and will recover soon."

When Wang Tingzhi heard this, his worries were slightly relieved.

He stood outside the door and said to Liao Qinglan, "Miss Liao, I will report back to my aunt later. Don't summon you again for the time being. You should take good care of your injuries."

Liao Qinglan said "hmm" and stopped talking.

Liao Zhendong went out to see Wang Tingzhi off, and then rewarded the imperial physician and the guards who went out to look for someone today.

Everyone else had left, Liao Qinglan had changed her clothes and was preparing to rest.

But I heard light footsteps coming from outside the door.

She looked up and saw Liao Zhendong stepping into her room again with a worried look on his face.

Liao Zhendong waved his hand to signal the servants to leave, and suddenly only the father and daughter were left in the room.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Lan'er, did you meet King Qin on the mountain today?"

Liao Qinglan remained calm and asked, "Father, why do you ask this?"

"I heard the news that when you were in danger, the King of Qin immediately chased after you, apparently to save you."

Liao Qinglan recalled the thrilling moment today, and her heart was still throbbing and could not calm down.

When she leaned on Gu Mingzhao's chest and relished the warmth of his embrace, she knew that she had completely fallen.

In this life, she would probably never be able to escape from him.

The reason why she refused during the day was because of An Linglong's provocation yesterday, which made her worried.

She was afraid that Gu Mingzhao would also think that she was a villain who was trying to curry favor with the powerful.

Liao Qinglan was silent for a while, and decided not to hide it anymore: "Father, it was indeed the King of Qin who saved me today."
