When Gu Qinlan heard this, she found it both funny and touching.

She didn't expect Dongfang Hongye to do this for her. Thinking of this, Gu Qinlan's eyes became brighter. She turned to Dou Qianqian and said gently:

"Well, no matter what, go back and tell your mother that starting tomorrow, you will come to the palace an hour earlier and use this time to learn medical skills."

"Oh! That's great! I must tell my mother this good news immediately!"

Dou Qianqian was so excited that she could hardly control herself and rushed out without hesitation.

Because she was too excited, she even fell several times, which frightened Gu Qinlan who was standing by, and she quickly ordered the servants to escort Dou Qianqian back.

After Dou Qianqian disappeared, Gu Qinlan's mood became cheerful because of her liveliness. He coughed a few times, turned his gaze to the remaining three children, and asked with a smile:

"Why are you all gathered here? Aren't you going to study at the Academy of Sciences?"

"Mr. Lu knows that you are not feeling well, so he specially granted us a holiday so that we can take care of you." Zheng Fenghui replied respectfully.

At this time, Xiang Zhu had already boiled the medicine and was about to give it to Gu Qinlan. When he heard Zheng Fenghui's words, he couldn't help but mutter in a low voice:

"Mr. Lu, how could you ask them to take care of you? They are clearly looking for an opportunity to be lazy."

Hearing this, Wocan immediately nodded and agreed:

"I just saw Mr. Lu going out. I heard that a bookstore in the north of the city has newly purchased calligraphy and paintings by great scholars of the previous dynasty. Mr. Lu must be tempted."

After hearing this, Gu Qinlan smiled helplessly, knowing that Jiang Boyi has always advocated freedom.

It was already precious that he could patiently teach these children in Prince Duan's mansion these days. Now, it was nothing to be lazy occasionally.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinlan asked again: "What about your martial arts coach?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the children sighed in unison.

"Mother, the martial arts coach and several of his men are fighting each other." Zheng Fengyun said helplessly.

"Yes, the Institute of Economics and Management is almost going to be demolished!" Zheng Hui agreed.

Gu Qinlan frowned when he heard this and asked curiously, "Why did the fight happen?"

Seeing that his brothers and sisters were unable to explain the whole thing, Zheng Fenghui began to explain directly.

It turned out that ever since Xinyi Shewu moved into Prince Duan's Mansion and became the children's martial arts coach, Lu Yu, Jia Hong and Lu Yao had become jealous.

Ever since they got something for nothing last time, they have regarded Prince Duan's Mansion as a cash cow.

The work here is easy and the salary is good. Such a good job is naturally much better than being a killer in Siming Tower and risking your life all the time.

However, such a good position was occupied by their young master Xinyi Shewu.

Since Xinyi Shewu is already the young master, why should he compete with them for this good job?

So, according to the rules of Siming Tower, they started a fierce fight to decide who would take the post.

Gu Qinlan couldn't help laughing when she heard this, but because of the discomfort in her throat, she started coughing.

Seeing this, Zheng Huiyi climbed onto the bed distressedly, patted Gu Qinlan's back with her small hands, and said softly:

"Mother, please take your medicine and have some rest. We won't disturb you anymore."

Gu Qinlan took a short break, drank the medicine in one breath, and then returned it to Xiang Zhu, who was also worried, and said:

"Please ask Xinyi Shewu and his subordinates to come over."

"Yes, sir." Xiang Zhu did not hesitate at all. He bowed slightly and immediately went to the Li Lun Courtyard.

Gu Qinlan then turned to the children again and said gently:

"You have been studying very hard recently. Since Mr. Lu is not here, you should take a good rest and relax. I'm fine. I will be fine after a short rest."

After a brief pause, Gu Qinlan suddenly thought of something and added:

"From now on, you will also have to get up an hour earlier and come here to study medicine."

"Ah?" Zheng Fengyun let out a shrill scream, helplessness and pleading in his eyes, and stared at Gu Qinlan closely.

Gu Qinlan suddenly felt bitter in her heart, thinking of the pain of her mother's death, so she slowly began to explain:

"I asked you to learn medical skills, not because I expect you to reach a high level in the field of medicine, but because I hope you can protect yourself in time when you encounter unexpected events."

You don't have to be proficient in medical skills, but you must remember the knowledge.

In this way, even if someone secretly poisons you, you will not be unaware and at their mercy.

Zheng Fenghui was older and immediately understood Gu Qinlan's meaning. He nodded to her and said solemnly:

"Mother, please rest assured. Starting tomorrow, Fenghui and I will bring my second brother and third sister to study together. We appreciate your painstaking efforts."

After hearing this, Gu Qinlan showed a satisfied smile on her face and nodded slightly.

The three children did not disturb Gu Qinlan anymore and politely said goodbye and left.

However, when leaving, Zheng Fenghui's steps seemed unusually slow. He kept looking back at Gu Qinlan, as if he had something to say but found it difficult to speak.

Gu Qinlan noticed his strangeness, looked at him suspiciously, and asked him if he had anything else to say. But Zheng Fenghui just shook his head, gave a bitter smile, and left in a hurry.

Gu Qinlan looked at Zheng Fenghui's back, coughed a few times, turned around and asked, "Fenghui, does he look like he has something on his mind?"

Hearing this, Wocan sighed softly, looked at Gu Qinlan lovingly and said:

"The eldest master is still a child, so it's inevitable that he has some worries, but you, the eldest lady, should pay more attention to your own health."

Gu Qinlan nodded, stood up and said:

"Help me change my clothes first. Xinyi Shewu and the others will be here soon. We can't be rude."

Wocan sighed helplessly, knowing that his advice fell on deaf ears to Gu Qinlan.

The eldest lady of this family carries too many burdens in her heart. It is not possible for Gu Qinlan to rest obediently just because she wants her to.

Wocan finally obediently changed clothes for Gu Qinlan and carefully put a cloak on her, fearing that she would catch a cold.

Gu Qinlan was sitting in the flower hall. Soon, Xinyi Shewu came here with Lu Yu and others.

As soon as she entered the flower hall, Gu Qinlan noticed that a tuft of feathers was missing from the purple feather earring on Xinyi Shewu's earlobe, and her braid on her forehead was also disheveled.

Lu Yu and the others looked exhausted, their clothes were disheveled, their faces were covered with bruises, and all three of them had resentment written all over their faces.

As soon as Lu Yao saw Gu Qinlan, he immediately fell at her feet in a weak manner.

She raised her eyes, revealing a hint of charm, and said in a soft voice:

"Princess, I'm in so much pain~ The young master and his men are bullying me~"

Green Yao's action made the three men open their eyes wide in shock.

Lu Yao did not give them more time to react. She stretched out her slender index finger in a frivolous and seductive manner and gently drew circles on Gu Qinlan's index finger.

Her eyes moved, her voice was soft and lingering, and she said coquettishly:

"Princess Duan, I just want to stay by your side. You are of noble status. How about letting me stay and serve you and protect you?"

Lu Yao is naturally beautiful, and she deliberately uses her seductive skills at this moment. Even a woman like Gu Qinlan can't help but admire her and find her hard to resist.
