After all, military officers are different from civil servants. As long as they dare to fight, they will always have the opportunity to be promoted.
Gu Qinyao naturally understood this. She thanked Gu Qinlan profusely before slowly leaving.
As soon as Gu Qinyao left, Xiang Zhu couldn't wait to get close to Gu Qinlan and asked worriedly:
"Miss, are you okay?"
Seeing Gu Qinlan remained silent, Xiang Zhu comforted her worriedly:
"Perhaps Miss Third heard it wrongly, maybe..."
Gu Qinlan raised her head, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, and she interrupted Xiang Zhu's words, saying in a calm but firm tone:
"The truth will be revealed after the coffin is opened and the autopsy is performed."
After hearing this, Xiang Zhu's face changed drastically. He looked at Gu Qinlan in horror and said:
"But, isn't it disrespectful to Madam to do this?"
Gu Qinlan had already stood up, the teacup in her hand shattered under her great force. Her voice was calm and firm: "This matter concerns my mother's reputation, and I cannot afford to lose it."
The fragments stung her palms deeply, and blood dripped like Ruby's tears, falling drop by drop on the cold floor tiles. However, Gu Qinlan seemed not to notice, and her tone was as firm as stone:
"I will not stop until the truth of my mother's death is uncovered, until the murderer is brought to justice, and until this deep hatred is avenged!"
When Xiang Zhu heard this, tears welled up in her eyes. She held Gu Qinlan's hand with a heartache and comforted her softly:
"Miss, don't get excited. Take care of your wound first. Your health is the most important thing anyway."
Gu Qinlan did not say anything, but silently accepted Xiang Zhu's care and let her heal his wounds.
"What happened?"
At this moment, Lou Wei pushed Zheng Dinglian past. Zheng Dinglian was sitting in a wheelchair. He noticed the wound on Gu Qinlan's hand at a glance and frowned.
Gu Qinlan noticed his gaze, looked up at Zheng Dinglian, forced a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, and shook her head gently to explain:
"Nothing, I accidentally knocked over a teacup and got scratched."
Zheng Dinglian looked at Gu Qinlan deeply, without saying much, but motioned Lou Wei to push him next to her, and said to Xiang Zhu:
"I will handle it."
Xiang Zhu held the medicine and bandage in his hand and glanced at Gu Qinlan hesitantly. Gu Qinlan was about to refuse, but Zheng Dinglian had already taken the medicine and said gently:
"You have done a lot for me these days. Now consider this as my reward to you."
Gu Qinlan smiled slightly, her eyes swept across the already green medicinal field, and she said softly:
"Prince Duan has repaid too much."
"That's not enough." Zheng Dinglian said firmly.
Gu Qinlan was speechless and remained silent for a moment.
Zheng Dinglian pursed his lips slightly and gently applied medicine and bandage to Gu Qinlan.
He secretly felt lucky that his hands had regained their mobility, otherwise he would have become a disabled person.
Gu Qinlan's delicate and white hands formed a sharp contrast with Zheng Dinglian's slender and slightly rough hands.
Zheng Dinglian stared at the sharp difference in colors, a hint of depth flashed in his eyes, and he almost wanted to hold Gu Qinlan's jade hand and completely grasp that whiteness in his palm.
After he finished bandaging Gu Qinlan, he looked up at her and said seriously:
"If you don't want to laugh, don't force yourself. Qin Lan, now that you have married into the palace, I hope you can be truly happy and don't need to be restrained in front of me."
Gu Qinlan was slightly surprised, staring at Zheng Dinglian, her heartbeat quickened, and then she asked sincerely:
"So, can I be honest with you?"
"nature."
The corners of Zheng Dinglian's lips rose slightly, and his originally serious expression became softened, revealing his happy mood.
Gu Qinlan pursed her lips, and couldn't help but raise her hand wrapped in thick gauze. She opened her red lips and uttered two words:
"So ugly."
Zheng Dinglian's eyes fell on the hand that was bandaged like a pig's hoof.
The originally tender and fair hand was completely wrapped in gauze, layer upon layer, like a pig's hoof.
Zheng Dinglian couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, his ears turned slightly red. He wanted to explain himself, but didn't know where to start.
How could he prove to Gu Qinlan that he was already proficient in bandaging techniques in the army and was just a little distracted just now?
"puff."
Wei Lin on the side couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Hearing the voice, Zheng Dinglian glanced at Wei Lin indifferently.
Wei Lin immediately stopped smiling, his face turned serious, he stood up straight, and said loudly to Zheng Dinglian:
"Master, don't blame me. I am willing to accept thirty military sticks!"
Under Zheng Dinglian's stern gaze, there was no hope of escaping. If he continued to run, he might really die! Wei Lin's simple and pitiful expression made Gu Qinlan unable to help but plead for him:
"We are in Prince Duan's mansion now, not in a wartime place, why are you being so harsh? How can such a trivial matter be worth using thirty military sticks as punishment?"
Zheng Dinglian pursed his lips slightly, glanced at Wei Lin calmly, and was about to speak:
"Didn't you hear the princess's advice? Why don't you tell the princess..."
Before he finished speaking, Wei Lin's face was already glowing. He looked at Gu Qinlan with gratitude and admiration, and said in a loud voice:
"Princess, you are so wise! You are so magnanimous and kind-hearted, just like the vast ocean. You are truly a blessing to me, the Prince Duan's Mansion, and our country..."
Seeing his master's face becoming increasingly gloomy, and hearing Wei Lin's overly flattering attitude, Lou Wei could not help but smile bitterly and reached out to hold Wei Lin.
Wei Lin was immersed in the pleasure of flattery, and when he noticed Lou Wei pulling him aside, he could not help but wave his hand away impatiently, complaining:
"What? I didn't say anything wrong! Although our princess is a girl, she has great ambitions and is tolerant and generous, far better than ordinary men!"
Zheng Dinglian finally couldn't help it and said in a gloomy tone:
"Why? The princess is kind and compassionate, but am I narrow-minded?"
Wei Lin was stunned and his body stiffened involuntarily. He looked at Lou Wei for help, but Lou Wei rolled his eyes helplessly and did not respond.
"Master... woo woo woo, that's not what I meant. I never said you were stingy, or that you were calculative, or that you were vindictive. I was simply praising the princess."
Gu Qinlan looked at Wei Lin's fawning appearance at the moment and couldn't help but find it a little funny. She temporarily put aside her previous worries and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Zheng Dinglian originally wanted to punish Wei Lin severely, but when he saw Gu Qinlan smile, his mood gradually calmed down.
Although he didn't know what Gu Qinlan had just experienced, he could see that she was in a bad mood, so he deliberately wanted to divert her attention.
Zheng Dinglian didn't expect that Wei Lin's accidental achievement actually resulted in this effect.
Thinking of this, Zheng Dinglian no longer had the heart to punish Wei Lin. He turned to look at Gu Qinlan and said with concern:
"Xinyi Shewu has already gone to Li Lun Courtyard. The twelfth prince may also come to the palace tomorrow. I'm afraid that the affairs in the future will be even busier. You must take good care of yourself."
Gu Qinlan nodded slightly and responded softly: "I will inform Jiang Boyi and ask him to pay more attention."
In fact, Gu Qinlan has always been a little hesitant about which prince to choose.
After all, in the previous life, the fight for the throne had reached a white-hot stage.
The most eye-catching princes in the court are the third prince, the eighth prince and the ninth prince.
