Zheng Dinglian took a deep breath, turned his head with some annoyance, and said to Lou Wei:

"After applying the medicine, go get twenty military sticks yourself."

What is going on? Is it because the master is shy that he has to implicate others?

When Captain Lou finished applying the medicine and was about to leave, Zheng Dinglian could not help but stop him and asked seriously:

"You say, since I have exposed myself completely in front of her, should I be responsible for her?"

"what?"

Zheng Dinglian waved his hand tiredly, seeming unwilling to continue this topic:

"Forget it. I'll give the letter to the princess after she wakes up. No matter what, life is the most precious thing..."

What did honor and reputation mean? After the baptism of the battlefield and the destruction of countless lives, they were not as important as life.

Survival... is the real hope.

Gu Qinlan slept until the next morning before waking up slowly.

Princess Lao Duan strictly instructed the three little ones to be obedient and not to disturb Gu Qinlan's rest.

After all, no one knows better than the old Princess Duan how much Gu Qinlan has contributed to the Prince Duan's Mansion!

She was full of gratitude towards Gu Qinlan, and also felt sorry for her.

The three little ones were also very sensible and naturally did not disturb Gu Qinlan.

Therefore, Gu Qinlan slept particularly soundly, and her originally aching head was also relieved.

However, before she had time to visit Zheng Dinglian, Jiang Boyi came impatiently.

Gu Qinlan had changed her clothes, with her long hair casually tied up without any extra decoration. She was sitting in the flower hall tasting the milk and egg drop soup sent from the kitchen.

Jiang Boyi didn't care what she was eating and excitedly told her what happened last night!

Since Xinyi Shewu and I had already discussed cooperation matters, Prince Duan's Mansion was unusually lively last night.

Xinyi Shewu mobilized almost all the people in Siming Tower and started a fierce battle with Prince Duan's Mansion!

The scene was so lively that it was crowded with people!

It was not until late at night that Xinyi Shewu had people carry the corpse that Jiang Boyi had prepared in advance and dragged back from the mass grave to report to the third prince and claim the reward.

Overnight, a net profit of thirty thousand taels! Siming Tower and Prince Duan's Mansion each got half, and they could share fifteen thousand taels!

Moreover, because Gu Qinlan slept for a whole day, Xinyi Shewu lied to the Third Prince, saying that Gu Qinlan had been seriously injured and that if she attacked again tonight, she would definitely be killed. The Third Prince believed it again.

"I have to prepare more corpses tonight. This is a very profitable business! However, this is enough to show how much the Third Prince hates you! So much silver, just to buy your life, it's amazing."

When Jiang Boyi said this, he couldn't help but shook his head and looked at Gu Qinlan with awe.

Gu Qinlan smiled helplessly, took a sip of milk, and then said slowly:

"The Third Prince is not stupid. After tonight, he will surely realize the truth. So we can only seize today and make the last profit from him."

Even so, this short and quick gain was more than enough.

Even if it was a prince of a distinguished status, taking out so much silver at once would probably make him feel short of money.

When Gu Qinlan thought of this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips involuntarily.

She just didn't believe that after this incident, the Third Prince would dare to attack her easily.

Jiang Boyi nodded. Although he felt a little regretful, he still said:

"Indeed, since this is a one-time deal, I have to try harder to dig up some bodies! Oh, I'm really busy!"

After saying that, Jiang Boyi hurried out, obviously intending to make a fortune from the third prince.

Gu Qinlan couldn't help laughing as she watched Jiang Boyi's departing back, but didn't try to stop him.

Xiang Zhu saw this scene nearby and couldn't help but joked:

"My cousin is usually praised as the most talented scholar, but if others saw him like this, I'm afraid they would never believe it. Who would be so unconcerned about small matters?"

Gu Qinlan just smiled and didn't respond. At this time, Lou Wei came to visit.

He bowed respectfully to Gu Qinlan, and was relieved to see that Gu Qinlan looked much better than yesterday. He asked with concern:

"Is the princess recovered?"

Gu Qinlan responded softly, then looked at Lou Wei curiously and asked:

"What brings you here today? Is there anything the Prince of Duan can ask?"

Gu Qinlan raised her hand slightly to indicate that there was no need to be polite, and then continued to ask.

Lou Wei shook his head, thought for a moment, then took out two letters from his arms, handed them to Gu Qinlan, and said:

"This is a letter our master wrote while he was on the front lines of the battlefield, and he told me to give it to the princess."

"letter?"

Gu Qinlan looked at Lou Wei with some surprise, and then asked Xiang Zhu to bring the letter over.

When she opened the envelope, she was stunned.

There were two letters in total, one was a "divorce letter" and the other was an apology letter.

The content of the letter was not complicated. It basically explained to Gu Qinlan that after his return, the Prince Duan's Mansion might face a crisis, and asked Gu Qinlan to take the divorce letter and leave the Prince Duan's Mansion to ensure her own safety.

The letter even included a few land deeds, which were given to her by Zheng Dinglian as compensation.

After reading the two letters, Gu Qinlan's expression was complicated for a moment.

She had never thought that Zheng Dinglian, who was far away at the front line and had never met her, would worry about her being implicated and make all the preparations for her...

Seeing Gu Qinlan's solemn expression, Lou Wei felt a little uneasy. He was worried that Gu Qinlan had misunderstood Zheng Dinglian's intentions, so he quickly explained:

"Princess, our master doesn't really want to divorce you, nor does he despise you. It's just that you should be aware of the current situation of Prince Duan's Mansion. Prince Duan's Mansion is about to collapse, and our master is worried..."

Gu Qinlan interrupted him, stood up and said:

"Okay, take me to see your master."

Lou Wei was stunned for a moment and was a little at a loss.

Is my princess unhappy or does she not care?

When Gu Qinlan arrived at Zheng Dinglian's room, Princess Duan was sitting by the bed, muttering to herself with a worried look on her face.

Seeing Gu Qinlan coming in, Princess Lao Duan immediately felt relieved. She stood up, held Gu Qinlan's hand, and asked with concern:

"Qin Lan, how did you rest? Are you still feeling unwell? Do you want to ask the imperial physician to come and see you? You have been working very hard for our Prince Duan's Mansion these days. Thank you for your hard work!"

When Princess Lao Duan mentioned the second half of the sentence, she deliberately raised her voice and glanced at Zheng Dinglian meaningfully, as if those words were meant for Zheng Dinglian specifically.

Gu Qinlan heard the voice, smiled with a hint of teasing, and said softly: "Mother, I am fine now, you don't need to worry too much. It just so happens that I have something to discuss with Prince Duan at this time, what do you think..."

Upon hearing this, Princess Lao Duan's eyes immediately flashed with understanding, and then she nodded in agreement:

"Okay, okay, you two young couples should have a good chat and improve your relationship."

At this point, Princess Lao Duan turned around, tapped Zheng Dinglian on the head, and then warned him in a low voice:

"Put away that stinky face of yours! Talk to Qin Lan nicely! My Qin Lan is a well-bred lady from a wealthy family. You are a big, rough man, don't scare her, understand?"
