The next morning, Jinghong Garden.

"Miss, I have found out! Guess who the steward Fu Bo is?"

Gu Qinlan glanced at Xiang Zhu calmly, then returned his gaze to his potted plants, and said with a smile: "Could it be the old Prince Duan's savior?"

"Girl! How did you guess that? That's amazing!"

Xiang Zhu was shocked when he heard this, his face full of disbelief.

Gu Qinlan chuckled, her slender fingers gently stroking the leaves of the potted plants, her eyes revealing a hint of wisdom: "Butler Fu Bo has been in the mansion for many years, always keeping a low profile, but he can influence the decision of Prince Duan's mansion at critical moments. If he hadn't saved his life, how could he have gained the trust of the old Prince Duan."

Xiang Zhu couldn't help but nod, her eyes showing even more respect, and she asked curiously, "Then girl, how should we treat Uncle Fu? If he really has such a great influence, should we be more careful in dealing with him?"

Gu Qinlan shook her head slightly. She looked up at the window. The spring sunshine shone on her face, creating mottled light and shadows. "It is important to be cautious, but Uncle Fu's loyalty to Prince Duan's Mansion is unquestionable. We just need to maintain the status quo and don't need to be too restrained."

Xiang Zhu nodded thoughtfully, but couldn't help asking, "What should we do if one day Uncle Fu's position conflicts with our interests?"

Gu Qinlan turned around, her eyes clear as water, and she said calmly: "Conflicts of interest are inevitable in the mansion, the key is how to balance them. When dealing with Uncle Fu, we must respect his status, but we must also adhere to our principles. If we really have to, we must find a way to have the best of both worlds."

At this time, the housekeeper Fu Bo came in and respectfully greeted Gu Qinlan: "Princess, you are looking for me?"

Gu Qinlan nodded gently and smiled, "Uncle Fu, I do have something to ask you. Xiang Zhu just told me that you are the savior of the old Prince Duan. Is this true?"

Uncle Fu smiled slightly, with a trace of time flashing in his eyes: "Princess, this is indeed true. The old prince was trapped in danger during a war, and it was I who risked my life to save him, so he was lucky enough to escape. The old prince was grateful for my life-saving grace, so he kept me in Prince Duan's Mansion, and I have been here ever since."

Gu Qinlan nodded slightly, with a bit of respect in her eyes: "Uncle Fu, you are loyal and brave, which is admirable. Then, do you know if the old prince had any unfulfilled wishes before his death?"

Uncle Fu pondered for a moment and said, "The old prince's greatest wish before his death was that the Prince Duan's Mansion would prosper and that his descendants would inherit his wishes and defend the country. In addition, he also recruited famous doctors, hoping that the Prince Duan could recover and no longer be bedridden. Unfortunately, he died young and his wish was not fulfilled."

At this point, he burst into tears and sighed.

Gu Qinlan looked at Uncle Fu’s old face and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

"Uncle Fu, you have worked hard. The old prince's spirit in heaven would be pleased to see your loyalty."

Uncle Fu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and revealed a relieved smile: "Princess, don't worry, I will do my best to fulfill the old prince's wish. It's just that Prince Duan's illness..."

"You don't have to worry. I will definitely have a plan for this matter." Gu Qinlan smiled, looking as if she had a plan in mind.

……

After breakfast, Zheng Huiyi, with her little head hung down, was led by Nanny Wei and walked into Jinghong Garden step by step.

The flowers in the garden are in full bloom, and the fragrance is intoxicating, but Zheng Huiyi's mood is as cold and heavy as the chilly wind in spring.

Gu Qinlan sat upright in the main seat in the living room, with her maid Xiang Zhu standing beside her, waiting for Zheng Huiyi's arrival with a smile on her face.

Nanny Wei brought Zheng Huiyi to Gu Qinlan and said softly, "Princess, the young lady is here."

Gu Qinlan nodded slightly, and his eyes fell on Zheng Huiyi gently: "Huiyi, raise your head."

Zheng Huiyi slowly raised her head, revealing a pale and thin face, with seven parts of fear and three parts of expectation flashing in her eyes.

Gu Qinlan looked at her and couldn't help feeling a surge of pity in her heart.

"Sit down." Gu Qinlan said softly.

Zheng Huiyi sat down as she was told, and Xiang Zhu immediately brought her a cup of hot tea. Zheng Huiyi held the teacup, and the warmth from her hands spread into her heart, making her feel a little relieved.

Gu Qinlan looked at Zheng Huiyi and spoke slowly: "I heard that you have been feeling unwell recently, so I specially asked you to come to Jinghong Garden to take your pulse. Don't worry, I will do my best to take care of your body."

Zheng Huiyi's eyes flashed with gratitude, and she said softly: "Thank you for your concern, mother."

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly and turned to Xiang Zhu: "Go and prepare the tools needed for pulse diagnosis."

Xiang Zhu took the order and left, and soon prepared the items needed for pulse diagnosis.

Gu Qinlan motioned Zheng Huiyi to stretch out her right hand. She gently placed her fingers on Zheng Huiyi's pulse. After a moment, she frowned slightly.

"Just as I expected, your body is seriously damaged and needs careful conditioning." Gu Qinlan said.

When Zheng Huiyi heard this, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes: "Mom, can my illness be cured?"

Gu Qinlan looked at Zheng Huiyi and said firmly, "Don't worry, I'm here to make sure you get well again."

Nanny Wei interrupted and said, "Princess, the young lady has been weak and sickly since she was young. Ordinary medicine is difficult to cure. Please take care of her."

Gu Qinlan nodded: "I will do my best, but I still need Miss Huiyi's cooperation."

Zheng Huiyi nodded immediately: "Mother, I will definitely follow your instructions and work hard to cooperate."

After the diagnosis, Gu Qinlan asked Xiang Zhu to prescribe a prescription for Zheng Huiyi, and also carefully reminded Zheng Huiyi of her daily diet and daily routine.

Zheng Huiyi listened to Gu Qinlan's instructions and felt warm in her heart.

Nanny Wei looked at Zheng Huiyi, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes, and she whispered to Gu Qinlan: "Princess, you are so kind to Miss."

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly: "Huiyi is my daughter, so I must treat her well."

Nanny Wei was touched. Gu Qinlan was not only a virtuous princess, but also a loving mother.

After treating Zheng Huiyi for several days in a row, Gu Qinlan was too tired. She fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. When she opened her eyes again, she was awakened by the noise outside.

"Hurry up and get her out here! My little sister has been poisoned and made mute. What kind of disease are you curing?"

Outside Jinghong Garden, Zheng Fengyun was furious and rushed in cursing, while Xiao Wenyin was pulling him out with a worried look on her face.

Zheng Huiyi was hugging Nanny Wei's neck pitifully, crying bitterly.

Gu Qinlan sat up suddenly, her brows furrowed, and her tired sleepiness was instantly replaced by worry.

She quickly put on her coat and hurried out of the room. Zheng Fengyun was furious, and Xiao Wenyin was anxiously trying to comfort him.

Nanny Wei held Zheng Huiyi in her arms, her eyes revealing deep worry.
