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

As he was thinking about it, he reached out and touched his chin, wondering if his beard needed to be trimmed. He seemed to have been a little unkempt after being so busy these days.

"Have you found the herbs you need?"

"Found it," Gu Qinghe's eyes lit up when she said this, "I will stay in the mansion for the next few days to prepare some medicine that can detoxify Princess Wu. If Princess Wu can wake up, I plan to help her and let her return to the capital."

Once they arrived in the capital, King Wu's hand could not reach as far as he wanted. This was also a very good opportunity for Gu Qinghe.

Shao Wei never stopped her from doing anything. At most, he would give her a few words of warning when he thought something was dangerous or not feasible, and then he would silently protect her behind her.

He knew very well that Gu Qinghe was very angry because of Lu Zhiyao's matter. If he didn't let her vent her anger, she would probably remember it forever, so it was better to let her be.

What's more, he knew Gu Qinghe's character well. She was not the kind of person who would not care about anything when she was impulsive. Most of the things she wanted to do were feasible.

So he just said, "If you need anything, just ask."

Gu Qinghe rested her chin on his shoulder and directed him to her residence. "Don't you think I'm daydreaming?"

Even though the King of Wu did not have much power, he was definitely not something that a defenseless and helpless girl like her could shake.

What she wanted to do was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Shao Wei shook his head. Her hair was blown onto his cheek by the wind, feeling itchy, just like his heart which was soft as a mess at the moment.

"Whether it is feasible or not, we need to do it first. When you get to the capital, just go find Qi Mingyue. He has probably been thinking about what you want to do for a long time, but he just lacks the right opportunity."

When they were almost at her residence, Gu Qinghe patted him twice and asked him to put her down. She didn't know whether her mother was asleep at that time, and it would be bad if she saw it.

Shao Wei put her down and leaned over to smooth her messy skirt. When he looked up, his eyes fell on Gu Qinghe's face. The coarse cloth clothes she was wearing seemed a bit inconsistent with her fair skin. She was bare-faced, but still beautiful.

He never thought that the red spot on Gu Qinghe's face was ugly. Whether it was there or not, it was still Gu Qinghe.

Regarding her plan to return to the capital, Shao Wei had only two requests, no, it should be said that they were opinions.

First, I can write to him often.

Second, stay away from Wei Yanzhou, the farther the better.

Gu Qinghe almost laughed out loud, "Don't worry, I will definitely write the letter. As for Wei Yanzhou, can't you see that I hate him?"

I can see it, but it is precisely because I can see it that I feel even more uneasy.

He always felt that when Gu Qinghe and Wei Yanzhou stood together, there was an inexplicable sense of harmony between the two, as if it was supposed to be that way.

Although the look in her eyes when she looked at Wei Yanzhou was extremely calm, it seemed as if an endless whirlpool was hidden beneath that calmness.

The two of them seemed to be very familiar with each other, while he was more like an outsider.

This is also the reason why Shao Wei always feels resentful towards Wei Yanzhou.

That kind of uneasiness eroded the self-control that he had always been proud of. He wished he could marry Gu Qinghe immediately so that he could have a legitimate status. That way, even if he was jealous, he could do it openly.

But he was also very clear about Gu Qinghe's current situation and mood. She should not consider these things until the Chen family's affairs were resolved.

So Shao Wei's rising emotions were suddenly poured with a bucket of cold water, and he calmed down again.

……

Gu Qinghe returned to the yard and walked around Lu Zhiyao's door first. The candles in the room had been extinguished, and it seemed that everyone had gone to bed.

She has been very busy these days and has not had a good conversation with Lu Zhiyao since she moved to the General's Mansion.

She could also hide the fact that she went to Prince Wu's mansion from Lu Zhiyao, as she actually didn't know the identity of Prince Wu.

During the time when she lost her memory and was kept in that yard, she always thought that she was a concubine kept by a wealthy family.

She has always had a stubborn character. Gu Qinghe didn't know how she convinced herself to accept the identity of a mistress, nor did she know how she responded every time she met King Wu.

It seemed that not only Gu Qinghe was deliberately avoiding some things, but Lu Zhiyao was also deliberately avoiding them.

Gu Qinghe hates to escape, but when faced with some unsolvable problems, people will subconsciously escape.

After standing at the door for a while, Gu Qinghe just turned around and was about to leave when Xiaohe's door next to him creaked open.

Seeing Gu Qinghe standing at Lu Zhiyao's door, Xiao He was a little surprised, but she quickly calmed down, walked up to Gu Qinghe and whispered, "Wait for me here for a moment, I have something to tell you."

After saying that, she tiptoed into Lu Zhiyao's room, saw that she was already asleep, tucked in the quilt for her, and then walked out of the room very quietly.

The door was not a place where they could talk, so the two went to Gu Qinghe's room.

Her room was not far from Lu Zhiyao's, just a few steps away, but their conversation could not be heard if the door was closed.

Xiao He's eyes turned red as soon as she entered the room, which made Gu Qinghe's heart tighten. "What's wrong?"

She bit the corner of her lip, as if she was making up her mind. After a long while, she finally made up her mind and looked up.

"Madam didn't let me tell you, but I've seen her having nightmares these days. If I don't tell you, I'm worried something might happen to her."

My heart sank, as if a stone had fallen into bottomless black water. It was dead silent.

"You said that mother has been having nightmares these days?"

"Yes," Xiao He said, "When I was still serving the Madam, I knew she was unhappy. I also heard a lot of things from the old lady who was watching over her. But at that time, the Madam was unhappy, and I just thought she didn't want to be someone else's concubine."

"Later, you brought Madam out of there. I thought Madam would be fine after that, but for some reason, she started to have nightmares every day. She couldn't eat or sleep well, but she had to hold on so that you wouldn't notice."

"But we can't go on like this. Madam's health is not good to begin with. If this continues, she will collapse in a few days."

The concern and worry in Xiaohe's words were evident. For a moment, besides self-blame, Gu Qinghe felt more ashamed.

I blamed myself for not being able to notice anything unusual about my mother during this period of time. I felt guilty that as a daughter, I didn't care about her as much as Xiaohe, a little girl who had only been with her mother for a few months.

The guilt burned her like a flame. After she calmed down for a while and the soreness in her throat faded a little, she said in a hoarse voice, "I'll go see my mother. You can rest. Thank you for telling me these things. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have ignored my mother for a long time."
