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

Liao Qinglan slept for an hour or two before opening her eyes.

In a daze, she saw Gu Mingzhao sitting on the edge of the bed, his head supported by one hand and his eyes closed.

Gu Mingzhao was a light sleeper, and he woke up as soon as she moved.

"Did you sleep well?" Gu Mingzhao asked.

Liao Qinglan suddenly regained consciousness.

She realized that she was only wearing a bellyband and became very annoyed.

She subconsciously wanted to ask Gu Mingzhao why he was here.

But when the words came to my lips, I suddenly remembered everything that had happened before.

She was abducted by Li Jin, and it was Gu Mingzhao who rescued her from Li Jin's bedroom like a god sent from heaven.

She swallowed back the curse words and silently pulled the quilt to wrap herself tighter.

"You've been here for half a day, and no one noticed you?" Liao Qinglan asked in a muffled voice.

"Yes, no one noticed." Gu Mingzhao said, "The guards around you are too useless. I will arrange secret guards to protect you later."

Liao Qinglan nodded.

Something unexpected had happened one after another in the past two days, and she felt a little scared, so she did not refuse.

She rubbed her forehead and tried hard to recall. She only remembered that Gu Mingzhao came and rescued her. She had no recollection of what happened afterwards.

And the aphrodisiac thing...

Although there is nothing wrong with my body at the moment, I am still a little worried.

She asked hesitantly, "Um...how did you cure the poison in my body?"

"How do you want the solution?" Gu Mingzhao asked with a smile.

"..."

She had no way of answering this kind of question.

Gu Mingzhao found her shy look very funny and teased her intentionally, "Lan'er is so proactive, it's really hard for me to refuse."

When Liao Qinglan heard this, a blush immediately appeared on her face. She glared at Gu Mingzhao in dissatisfaction and said, "You are talking nonsense!"

It's not like she hasn't made love with Gu Mingzhao before. Every time she was tossed so hard that she couldn't get out of bed. Her body would never feel like this.

I just wanted to take advantage of her verbally while she was unconscious!

Gu Mingzhao looked at her angry expression and felt so soft-hearted that he couldn't help but pinch her face.

"Don't worry, I'll give you the antidote."

"Antidote? Li Jin will give you the antidote?" Liao Qinglan looked at Gu Mingzhao in confusion. She really couldn't believe that Li Jin would hand over the antidote so easily.

"Of course it wasn't given by him." Gu Mingzhao said lightly.

"Then how did you prepare the antidote so quickly?" Liao Qinglan was even more curious. She had never heard that Gu Mingzhao also knew medical skills.

Gu Mingzhao did not answer her question directly, but touched her hair and said gently: "Lan'er, don't worry about these things, just take a good rest."

"But I want to know." When it comes to medical matters, Liao Qinglan always likes to get to the bottom of things.

"My blood can detoxify." Gu Mingzhao's eyes flickered and he spoke vaguely.

"Your blood has this effect? ​​What kind of strange physique is this? Can it cure all poisons?"

Gu Mingzhao was silent for a while, as if he was struggling inside. After a while, he finally sighed and decided to tell her the truth.

"I told you that I was once kept by a wealthy businessman in a brothel. In order to keep me awake, he made me take various aphrodisiacs every day. Over time, my body became resistant to these drugs, and my blood can also dissolve all aphrodisiacs in the world."

After hearing this, Liao Qinglan was so shocked that she was speechless.

She saw that there was indeed a new wound on Gu Mingzhao's wrist, which was exposed and not bandaged.

She had only heard of this sinister and evil method in legends.

It is said that the Miao people have always raised medicine men. Those medicine men are fed all kinds of poisonous grasses, poisonous snakes, and poisonous scorpions from a young age to develop a physique that is immune to all poisons.

The blood of a medicine man can also cure all kinds of poisons and become a holy product for refining medicine.

However, this method is too vicious. The person being treated will be tortured by various poisons and in excruciating pain. If he is not careful, he may die.

She had just suffered from the effects of an aphrodisiac, and she quickly protected her forehead, feeling as if her entire body was crawling with bugs.

It is really hard to imagine how much hardship Gu Mingzhao went through when he was young.

She suddenly understood why Gu Mingzhao hesitated and was unwilling to answer this question.

Liao Qinglan hated herself for asking questions that reminded him of his past.

She jumped out of bed wrapped in a quilt, found the medicine and bandages, and bandaged the wound on Gu Mingzhao's wrist.

He must have been in a hurry, as he made a long and deep cut just to get blood. There was no need to make such a big cut.

When her fingertips touched the wound, she felt Gu Mingzhao's hand trembling slightly.

"I'm sorry..." She lowered her eyes and said softly.

"Don't cry, it's okay." Gu Mingzhao held her face and wiped away her tears, "It's all over."

Only then did Liao Qinglan realize that her tears were falling uncontrollably.

She wiped her face roughly, but the more she wiped, the more tears came.

Gu Mingzhao suddenly leaned forward and gently embraced her through the quilt.

The cool aura of the man instantly enveloped her.

"I have met the best person in the world. All the sufferings in the past are nothing." Gu Mingzhao said in a deep voice.

Liao Qinglan stopped sobbing and listened to him quietly.

"I was always afraid that you would refuse, so I never asked you properly whether you were willing to be with me."

Liao Qinglan pushed him gently, wanting to look at his face.

Gu Mingzhao hugged her tighter, thinking that she was going to run away from him like before, and said quickly: "Don't say anything, just let me hold you for a while, it will be fine in a while."

She sensed the anxiety in Gu Mingzhao's tone, and reached out from under the quilt to hug Gu Mingzhao's waist.

Liao Qinglan leaned her head on his shoulder and said softly, "Don't you really want to hear what I have to say?"

The two hugged each other tightly, and Gu Mingzhao had a unreal feeling.

"I am a petty person. If you marry me, you cannot take a concubine."

"it is good."

"You can't lie to me."

"it is good."

"You can't bully me either."

"How could I possibly bully you?"

Liao Qinglan said a lot of things at once, and Gu Mingzhao agreed to whatever she said.

In the end, Liao Qinglan herself felt that Gu Mingzhao was too easy to talk to, and asked, "You are already His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, will you really obey me in everything?"

"If it's not for the sake of having a distinguished status that matches you, then whoever wants to be the prince can do so."

Liao Qinglan couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth and said, "If His Majesty heard this, I'm afraid he would be disappointed."

Gu Mingzhao didn't care about these things at all. He said to Liao Qinglan, "Lan'er, when you come of age next month, I will go and ask for your hand in marriage, okay?"

Liao Qinglan lowered her head shyly and said "OK" in a low voice.

Gu Mingzhao was so happy that his wish was finally about to come true. He said gently, "It's getting late. Please get some food. I'll come to see you tomorrow."

After the two said goodbye, Gu Mingzhao got up and walked out of the room.

Outside the door, the servants of the prime minister's mansion stood in a row, silent as a mouse, not daring to make a sound.

Gu Mingzhao glanced at them and said calmly, "Today, you should just pretend that you have never seen me. If anyone dares to reveal even a single word, I will not let them off lightly."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Go prepare some food for your young lady, she is hungry."

The servants in the prime minister's residence began to get busy.

As soon as Gu Mingzhao left Liao Qinglan's courtyard, an eunuch hurried over and said breathlessly, "Your Highness Prince Qin, I finally found you! His Majesty invites you to come over."

"understood."

I should also inform Li Zheng about my plan to get married.
