Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

……

After this trip to Prince Wu's Mansion, Gu Qinghe and Shao Wei did not see each other for several days.

It’s not because of the distance, but because both of them have things to do.

Several of the herbs needed for the antidote to the poison in Princess Wu's body were hard to find. In addition, she had been flipping through various medical books recently to find a way to restore Lu Zhiyao's memory, so she was very busy.

It was not until this day when he accidentally saw Gao Cun with a worried look on his face that Gu Qinghe remembered to ask, "Is your general busy recently?"

She wanted to go to Wuling Mountain, one of the steeper mountains in Chizhou. Gu Qinghe asked many pharmacies, and found out that two of the herbs she needed were only available on Wuling Mountain.

However, Wuling Mountain is dangerous, with snakes, insects and wild beasts everywhere. These medicinal herbs are not very valuable and are rarely used by ordinary people, so few people would risk their lives to pick them.

Instead of looking for this kind of herb, it is better to find something else to do. Regardless of how much money you can make, at least it is safe.

Gu Qinghe thought that if Shao Wei was not busy, he could accompany her to Wuling Mountain. If Shao Wei was a little busy, it was also okay for her to go by herself. After all, the secret guards Shao Wei arranged for her were all very skilled.

Gao Cun said: "The general has been very busy recently. There are a lot of things going on in the military camp recently, and the capital has assigned the general a mission. I came here today because the general specifically asked me to talk to Doctor Gu. If there is anything, you can just come to me directly and give me instructions."

"A mission from the capital?" Gu Qinghe frowned slightly, thinking it must be something tricky. Since Shao Wei didn't say anything, perhaps this matter couldn't be known by too many people.

She didn't ask too many questions and nodded quickly, thinking that she would go to see Shao Wei after she was done with her work in the next two days.

"Are you free tomorrow?"

"I'm free," Gao Cun patted his chest, "The general gave me the task of helping Doctor Gu, just ask."

"Okay, then come with me to Wuling Mountain tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Gu Qinghe prepared two insect repellent sachets in advance. When she opened the door, she saw Shao Wei and Lu Zhiyao chatting in the yard.

Shao Wei said something and Lu Zhiyao smiled with her eyes curved.

The morning sunlight shone on her hair, which had just begun to gain some luster in the past two days, and inexplicably made Gu Qinghe dazed.

She stood there for a while, and Shao Wei looked over here.

"Didn't Gao Cun say you'd be busy recently?"

"It's okay," Shao Wei stood up, "It can't be solved in a short time, so I might as well accompany you to Wuling Mountain first."

Shao Wei bought some breakfast when he came. Gu Qinghe ate a little, hung a sachet on Shao Wei's waist, clapped his hands, and said, "Let's go."

The weather today is not very good. Wuling Mountain is covered in fog and only a few steps away can be seen.

Shao Wei walked in front, clearing away the branches and vines that blocked the way.

Gu Qinghe glanced at Shao Wei several times on the way, but couldn't help but asked, "What have you been busy with recently? I heard from Gao Cun that it was a task assigned to you by the capital. Is it difficult?"

It’s not that difficult, at most I just feel a little irritating and impatient.

Shao Wei's tone was a little heavy, "The third prince of Yun State is missing, and it is very likely that he has come to our Rui Dynasty. Your Majesty has received a letter from Yun State, hoping that we can help find the third prince.

Gu Qinghe really had no impression of this incident. Perhaps something like this happened in her previous life, but she didn't know the specific situation as she was far away in the capital, and Wei Yanzhou would not tell her about these unimportant things.

"Why does Yun State think he came to our Rui Dynasty?"

Shao Wei sighed, "This is a long story."

He caught a glimpse of a reptile hanging on the tree next to him. Seeing that Gu Qinghe was about to look over there, he raised his hand and pulled the person towards him, blocking her sight. He casually swung the wooden stick in his hand to the side, and the long reptile fell to the ground with a thud and stopped moving.

Gu Qinghe didn't see anything and shook his arm. "There's nothing to do now, just tell me what you want."

Shao Wei glanced at her and suddenly laughed, "Want to know?"

"Yes I do."

"Shall we move into the General's Mansion tomorrow?"

He had this idea a long time ago. Now that Lu Zhiyao was rescued, King Wu knew clearly that the person was taken away by him, and he could not do anything for the time being.

Shao Wei is not arrogant. In Chizhou City, there is really no one he cannot protect.

Without waiting for Gu Qinghe to speak, he continued, "You said last time that you would be returning to the capital soon. I'm sure you won't be able to take Divine Doctor Lu with you. You won't be at ease if you let her live out here alone. It would be better for her to live in the general's mansion."

Gu Qinghe wrinkled his nose, "General Shao has said so. If I don't agree, wouldn't it seem like I don't know what's good for me?"

Shao Wei glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, with a faint smile in his eyes.

It was not known whether it was the fog in the mountains that emboldened him, or whether he was led astray by Gu Qinghe's boldness in recent days, but he pulled Gu Qinghe's hand and held it in his own without blushing or beating his heart.

His calm and composed expression was revealed by his ears which were red as if they were about to bleed. Fortunately, Gu Qinghe did not notice.

He was very good at making excuses for himself, "The mountain road ahead is quite steep."

Gu Qinghe didn't know whether to believe it or not, so she nudged him with her elbow and said, "Tell me quickly, why did the third prince of Yun State come to our Rui Dynasty?"

Speaking of business, Shao Wei's face became more serious. He pointed to his head without holding Gu Qinghe's hand. "The third prince of Yun State had a serious illness when he was a child. After he recovered from the illness, his mind remained at the stage of a child. The reason why the emperor of Yun State asked Rui Dynasty to help find him was because the third prince had a friend from Rui Dynasty before. Before he disappeared, he mentioned that he would come to Rui Dynasty to find that friend."

Gu Qinghe took a breath of cold air.

With a mind like that of a child, the Third Prince came to Ruichao to find a friend. Not to mention whether he could find his friend, just think about how many dangers he would encounter on the way from Yun State to Ruichao. It is a big question whether he can arrive in Ruichao safely.

"So is there any progress now?"

Shao Wei shook his head, "Not yet."

The state of Yun was strong, and the third prince was born to the queen. Although he had no hope of inheriting the throne, he was extremely favored in the state of Yun.

The emperor and empress of Yun State had a very good relationship. There were only two concubines in the harem, and both of their children were princesses.

The queen gave birth to three children. The eldest son was made the crown prince as soon as he was born. The second princess and the third prince were twins. Because of the serious illness that the third prince had suffered that year, the emperor and the queen felt extremely guilty about him and naturally loved him even more.

A lot of people from the Yun State have been dispatched to look for the Third Prince. It won't be long before the Crown Prince of Yun State will also come. If the Third Prince is not in Ruichao, it would be fine. But if something happens in Ruichao, Yun State will be so angry that they might do anything.
