Zheng Dinglian listened attentively. When he learned that Gu Qinlan planned to use the third prince as a breakthrough in his strategy, he immediately sat up more solemnly.

"Compared to the Eighth and Ninth Princes, the Third Prince is ambitious and good at concealing his true intentions. Since he has chosen to play the role of a prince who is indifferent to fame and wealth and has no desires in order to win the favor of the emperor, then at least on the surface, he will not easily expose his ambitions."

"However, precisely because he did not have strong support from his mother's family and his wife, he urgently needed a large amount of funds to open up the network."

"You have caused the Third Prince to suffer a great loss this time. The money he has left must be stretched to the limit. For the sake of long-term planning, he will definitely try every possible way to raise funds."

At this point, Zheng Dinglian's eyes showed some admiration, and he continued with a smile:

"I already know your intentions. I will send someone to closely monitor his movements."

Gu Qinlan nodded gently, and after thinking for a while, she couldn't help but remind him:

"The fastest way to make money in history is salt, iron and loan business. Prince Duan can send people to focus on monitoring these areas."

"Okay, but..."

Zheng Dinglian nodded slightly, glanced at Gu Qinlan, and seemed to have something to say, but stopped.

"Hmm?" Gu Qinlan looked at Zheng Dinglian curiously, her eyes full of questions.

"You just mentioned that we are one as husband and wife. If that's the case, if you need any help from me, please let me know immediately, okay?"

Zheng Dinglian stared at Gu Qinlan with intense eyes.

Gu Qinlan is currently investigating the mystery of that year, and it was his people who discovered the clues first and deliberately guided Gu Qinlan's people to realize this.

But Zheng Dinglian hopes that Gu Qinlan can take the initiative to seek help from him.

After all, Gu Qinlan had done so much for Prince Duan's Mansion that Zheng Dinglian often felt guilty.

It was as if even if the status of a princess was placed before her, it would still not be enough.

Gu Qinlan felt a little uncomfortable under Zheng Dinglian's gaze, but she was used to acting on her own and had never considered asking for help.

Therefore, although she felt uncomfortable at the moment, she just pursed her lips lightly and said vaguely:

"There is indeed something I would like Prince Duan to help me with. I hope Prince Duan can recommend some outstanding talents in the army. My third sister is at the right age to get married, and I also want to do my best to help her."

After hearing this, Zheng Dinglian felt a little disappointed, but then his mood improved a little.

It wasn't the answer she was expecting, but at least she'd asked, and that's always a good start.

Thinking of this, Zheng Dinglian showed Gu Qinlan a gentle smile and nodded solemnly in agreement:

"Okay, I'll have someone send you the list tomorrow."

The next morning, Gu Qinlan indeed received the list sent by Zheng Dinglian.

She glanced through it briefly, then handed it to Xiang Zhu and instructed:

"Send this list to the Dingyuan Marquis's mansion and give it to the Second Master. Remember, in front of everyone, have the Second Master and the Second Madam invite the Third Miss to come out and personally choose a husband. Then say that I am selecting a good husband for the Third Miss at the request of the Marquis of Dingyuan's wife. After the task is completed, you must report to Prince Duan."

In the current Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, no one has served as an official for three generations!

They just live on their ancestral property.

Even Marquis Dingyuan himself had to rely on Gu Qinlan's clever plan to get a job, not to mention the second and third branches.

Therefore, Xiang Zhu's message actually represented Prince Duan's will. Would the Second House or even Cao dare to openly fight against Prince Duan?

The most crucial thing is that Cao has a hot temper. When he finds out that Yao is involved in this matter, how could he let Yao go easily?

After Xiang Zhu took the order and left, Gu Qinlan casually tied her hair into a bun and walked to the flower hall outside.

Since agreeing to teach Dou Qianqian medical skills that day, Gu Qinlan has started teaching four disciples these days.

Most of the four little ones listened attentively. Even that "little one" had a frown on his face, but he still followed obediently and tried hundreds of herbs, identified the medicinal materials, and then sighed with a bitter face.

However, Gu Qinlan also discovered that these children all had very good memory, with only slight differences in their talents.

For example, Dou Qianqian learns medical knowledge faster, while other children are relatively slower, but it is also within an understandable range.

That day, as soon as Gu Qinlan walked out of the room, she found that several little ones were already sitting in a row in an orderly manner, including the twelfth prince.

Gu Qinlan raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes fell on the twelfth prince, and she looked him over. The twelfth prince immediately stood up and bowed to Gu Qinlan.

A blush appeared on his slightly plump face, and he said shyly:

"It is very presumptuous of me to come here without an invitation. I have heard that my sister is an extraordinary doctor, so I want to learn a thing or two. My mother has been in poor health since she gave birth to me, so..."

After a brief pause, the twelfth prince bent even lower and said humbly, "Please forgive me, sister."

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly, pointed to the seat and said:

"Now that you are here, just listen attentively. However, once you leave this door, everything you have learned and seen must be rotten in your heart and not spread to others, okay?"

Nowadays, Gu Qinlan’s identity as Du Yusheng’s junior sister is not yet known to the public!

Therefore, no one could have expected that the poison in Zheng Dinglian's body had already been removed!

In this way, the Holy Heart will naturally be soothed!

But if the fact that she is good at medicine is exposed, then the respite that Prince Duan's Mansion has just gained will vanish into thin air.

After hearing this, the twelfth prince nodded seriously and said, "I understand! I won't reveal it to you outside, even in front of my mother."

For a filial child, not revealing secrets to his mother is his most sincere promise.

Gu Qinlan smiled and nodded, not particularly concerned about it.

This incident can also be used as a test. If the twelfth prince really did not keep his mouth shut and leaked the secret, then it would be enough to prove that their previous judgment was wrong. It would not be a bad idea to change the strategy and replace the candidates in time.

When Gu Qinlan finished her lecture, Zheng Fengyun's face was wrinkled. Before leaving, he couldn't help but pull Gu Qinlan to plead:

"Mother, can you please not let us taste these bitter herbs tomorrow?"

Gu Qinlan glanced at Zheng Fengyun and agreed with a smile: "Okay."

Zheng Fengyun danced with joy and excitement, but he didn't expect that the next day, Gu Qinlan really didn't let them taste the bitter medicine again, but replaced it with a sour herb that made their teeth ache, or a herb that smelled terrible...

Zheng Fengyun had a look of despair on his face, and just when he was about to make a new request to Gu Qinlan, everyone was quick to cover his mouth and pull him away.

Seeing this, Gu Qinlan couldn't help but reveal a doting smile, and then instructed Xiang Zhu:

"Ask the kitchen to prepare some more nourishing dishes. The children have been working hard during this period. Don't let their bodies fall behind."

At dawn, they came to her residence early to start studying medicine. After noon, they followed the elders such as Jiang Boyi and Xin Yishewu to study in depth according to the courses arranged in advance.
