Just then, Zheng Huiyi trotted in barefoot, her face full of tears and her eyes filled with fear and helplessness.

She ran to the bed and saw her second brother Zheng Fengyun lying on the bed poisoned, and tears fell like rain.

Seeing this, Gu Qinlan quickly put down the medicine box in her hand, walked forward, picked up Zheng Huiyi, patted her back gently, and asked gently: "Huiyi, why did you run out without shoes? The ground is cold, be careful not to catch a cold."

Zheng Huiyi raised her tearful eyes, looked at Gu Qinlan, and sobbed, "Mother, my second brother...how could he be like this?"

Gu Qinlan frowned slightly, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, but she soon regained her composure and said softly, "Don't worry, Feng Yun was just poisoned, I will do my best to save him."

Zheng Huiyi looked at Gu Qinlan, a trace of trust flashed in her eyes. She nodded and said, "Mother, I believe you can save my second brother. My condition has also improved under your treatment. My sleep and physical strength have improved."

Gu Qinlan smiled, ruffled Zheng Huiyi's hair, and said, "You are such a sensible child. Okay, go back to your room and have a rest. Leave this to me."

Zheng Hui reluctantly left the room and returned to her bedroom. She lay on the bed, but she was still worried about her second brother, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

At the same time, Gu Qinlan was busy in Zheng Fengyun's room.

She skillfully mixed medicinal materials, boiled medicinal soup, and massaged Zheng Fengyun's acupoints from time to time to relieve his pain.

As the night deepened, the lights in Prince Duan's mansion gradually went out, and only Zheng Fengyun's room was still dimly lit. Gu Qinlan sat on the bed, looking at Zheng Fengyun's pale face, and couldn't help feeling a little helpless.

At this moment, Zheng Huiyi quietly opened the door and walked in. Seeing Gu Qinlan's tired look, she felt sad and said softly, "Mother, you have worked hard."

Gu Qinlan raised her head, saw Zheng Huiyi, smiled slightly, and said, "It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

Zheng Huiyi walked to Gu Qinlan, rubbed her shoulders, and said, "Mother, I want to stay with you and take care of my second brother together."

Gu Qinlan looked at Zheng Huiyi with emotion, and a warm light flashed in her eyes.

……

The next day, Zheng Fenghui, supported by his personal servant, limped home outside Prince Duan's mansion, cursing and covering his head.

"Hmph, this Zheng Fengyun is getting more and more outrageous!" Zheng Fenghui frowned and the corners of his mouth twitched.

The servant carefully supported Zheng Fenghui and said with a smile: "Master, don't be angry. Maybe the second master was just impulsive."

Zheng Fenghui glared at the boy and snorted, "Impulsive? He is clearly trying to embarrass me on purpose and make me lose face in front of everyone!"

The servant lowered his head and said no more. He knew that Zheng Fenghui was in a bad mood at the moment and it was not appropriate to offend him.

"Master, I heard from people that the second master's heart has been won over by the princess, and he no longer considers you his elder brother." The servant couldn't help but whisper.

Zheng Fenghui's eyes turned cold when he heard this, and he glared at the servant: "What nonsense are you talking about? You, a servant, can't make up the affairs of Prince Duan's Mansion?"

The servant was so frightened that his face changed, and he quickly apologized: "Master, I was wrong, I will never dare to say nonsense again."

Zheng Fenghui snorted coldly and was about to explode when someone suddenly came over and greeted him with a smile: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

……

It was already dawn, and a hint of paleness appeared in the eastern sky.

In the quiet bedroom, Gu Qinlan hugged her sleeping daughter Zheng Huiyi and looked at her unconscious son Zheng Fengyun with worry. Her eyes were full of worry, like a lotus swaying in the cold wind, strong yet weak.

At this time, Xiao Wenyin and several servants gently pushed open the door and slowly walked into the bedroom. Her footsteps were as light as a fallen leaf, afraid of disturbing the tranquility. Seeing Gu Qinlan's worried expression, Xiao Wenyin couldn't help but feel a little sad, and walked up to ask with concern: "Princess, do you need some porridge?"

Gu Qinlan raised her head and looked at Xiao Wenyin, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

Regardless of whether Xiao Wenyin had good intentions or not, she only had Zheng Fengyun in her heart and had no interest in other things. So, she shook her head gently and said in a calm tone: "Thank you for your concern, Miss Xiao. I'm not hungry now."

Xiao Wenyin's eyes were red, she bit her lower lip and insisted: "Princess, you haven't slept all night, your health is important. I have asked the servants to cook this porridge, you can drink some."

There was a hint of pleading in her voice, and she seemed to have forgotten the argument they had yesterday.

Gu Qinlan sighed softly and said to Xiao Wenyin, "Miss Xiao, I know you mean well, but I'm really not hungry now. Please put the porridge on the table, I will drink it later."

A hint of helplessness flashed across Xiao Wenyin's eyes, but she still obediently ordered the servants to put the porridge on the table.

She looked at Gu Qinlan, her eyes full of worry and sympathy.

He walked forward, gently patted Gu Qinlan's shoulder, and said softly: "Princess, you must take care of yourself. When Feng Yun wakes up, he will be very distressed to see you so tired."

Xiao Wenyin gathered her temples and sat down on the edge of the bed. She looked at Zheng Huiyi who was sleeping soundly in Gu Qinlan's arms and couldn't help but whispered, "Sister Gu, can I hold Huiyi? You should at least eat something. Your health is very important."

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly. She stroked Zheng Huiyi's hair gently, her eyes full of doting, and replied softly: "Huiyi finally fell asleep, let her sleep for a while, don't wake her up. Besides, she doesn't seem to like being hugged. I'm fine, I don't need to eat for now."

Zheng Huiyi moved in Gu Qinlan's arms, and her little hands unconsciously grabbed Gu Qinlan's collar.

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly, patted her back gently, and signaled Xiao Wenyin with her eyes not to force it.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Xiao Wenyin's eyes, but she quickly concealed her emotions and forced a smile, "Okay."

Looking at the intimate interaction between Gu Qinlan and Zheng Huiyi, Xiao Wenyin couldn't help but feel jealous.

She recalled how she had spent a lot of time trying to win Jung Hye-yi's affection, but failed every time.

"Sister Gu, Huiyi is really becoming more and more attached to you." Xiao Wenyin said, gritting her teeth.

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly: "Yes, maybe I am very good to her, and she feels the long-lost motherly love."

Xiao Wenyin couldn't help feeling a little bitter when she heard this, and sighed softly: "I just hope she can have a little affection for me."

Gu Qinlan saw the disappointment in Xiao Wenyin's heart, and was proud in her heart, but on the surface she gently patted Xiao Wenyin's hand and said softly: "You can't force feelings. As long as you are sincere to her, she will understand one day."

At this moment, Zheng Huiyi suddenly turned over, waving her little hands restlessly, as if she had encountered some trouble in her dream.

Gu Qinlan immediately hugged her tighter and coaxed her softly, "Huiyi, don't be afraid, mother is here."

Xiao Wenyin felt more and more sad as she watched this scene.

She stood up, walked to the window, looked at the pear tree outside, frowned, was silent for a moment, then sat back down.
