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

Before Wei Yanzhou could say anything, Gu Qinghe said, "Next time, if Prince Wei needs medical treatment, just let me know. I won't charge any fees."

"Compared to seeing a doctor, I actually hope that Doctor Gu will find a different way to repay me."

Without having to guess what he would say, Gu Qinghe's expression remained unchanged. "Your Highness, don't be in a hurry to refuse. Who knows, one day, you may need me."

She spoke frankly, looking at him with clear and bright eyes. It felt like she believed in her medical skills and thought that her medical skills would be able to help him, Wei Yanzhou, in the future.

But for some reason, Wei Yanzhou felt that she seemed to be able to guess what he wanted to say.

The smile on his face gradually faded. Well, he had to admit that she was different from those beautiful girls who had always surrounded him in the past. What she needed was not his favor.

But thinking like this, Wei Yanzhou still felt a little uncomfortable, especially when she looked at Shao Wei who was standing next to her and staring at her.

Shao Wei was different from those officials in the court who were fawning on the powerful. When he looked at Wei Yanzhou, there was not a trace of flattery in his eyes. Instead, there was some vigilance and impatience. Of course, he was still a little grateful a moment ago, but this gratitude was immediately suppressed as soon as Wei Yanzhou said a few words.

"It's getting late, please go back, my lord."

Wei Yanzhou raised his eyebrows, "It's really late, General Shao, let's go together."

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was about to become tense, Gu Qinghe was a little speechless. He took a step forward to separate the two and said, "Okay, Prince, go back first. We will go back together after General Shao's subordinates have rested."

She herself didn't think there was anything wrong, but from Wei Yanzhou's perspective, it seemed that Gu Qinghe protected Shao Wei behind him and confronted him, asking him to leave but letting Shao Wei stay here.

It's just so unfair.

Blatant bias.

As for the rest, he simply ignored them.

However, Gu Qinghe didn't think there was anything wrong with her words. So what even if she protected Shao Wei behind her?

She and Wei Yanzhou did not have much interaction in this life. He helped her today and she remembered the favor, but this did not mean that she had to obey Wei Yanzhou and be controlled by him.

She still had things to discuss with Shao Wei. The assassins today should have been sent by Prince Wu's Palace.

After she said this, Wei Yanzhou's expression seemed a little complicated, but he didn't say anything else. He just sneered and shrugged, "Okay, I'll leave now."

Gu Qinghe pursed her lips.

"But you're scared?"

"Ah?" She came back to her senses, met Shao Wei's deep gaze, and quickly shook her head, "No, I'm not that timid."

"Yes," Shao Wei said helplessly, "You are indeed quite courageous."

If you are timid, you would not dare to get involved in this muddy water.

Gu Qinghe felt a little guilty about Gao Cun's injury. "It's just that Gao Cun's injury was serious this time. I'm afraid he will need to recuperate for a while."

Although his life was not in danger and Gao Cun himself did not take this injury seriously, Gu Qinghe could not help but remember the kindness. "I heard from Gao Cun that you will be going back to Chizhou soon, right?"

Shao Wei returned to the capital this time for rewards. Besides, Lirang has been severely damaged now, so it should not be able to be arrogant for a while. Chizhou is guarded by the deputy general, so it is safe for the time being.

But he will have to go back sooner or later.

After the princess sent by Lirang to marry the princess arrives, he will return to Chizhou.

Originally, there was nothing left for him in the capital except his grandmother, and the life there was not as happy as that in Chizhou.

But now, it seems that I have a slightly different feeling.

He slowly pondered and chewed these feelings that had never appeared before, but what he tasted was not the bitterness that had always surrounded him, but instead a ridiculous hint of sweetness.

Shao Wei spoke for the first time, his mind not even able to catch up with his words, "Perhaps, you can come back to Chizhou with me."

"Return to Chizhou?"

Gu Qinghe was a little stunned. Obviously, she had not expected Shao Wei to make such an invitation. She was no longer the naive little girl who knew nothing. Gu Qinghe quickly realized something.

She fell silent, and her voice was a little hoarse when she spoke, "I have to stay in the capital."

Perhaps it was because some words were no longer so difficult to say once they were spoken, or perhaps it was because the feelings that had been hidden before had been released and no longer needed to be hidden. Shao Wei said slowly: "Going to Chizhou may not be a bad thing for you."

The capital city is full of dangers. No matter how much preparation Shao Wei makes and how many people he leaves by her side, there is always something foolproof in this world.

He never thought of himself as such a worried person before.

Fortunately, he has found sufficient reasons for his proposal.

"The King of Wu's fiefdom is very close to Chizhou. Once we get to Chizhou, it might be easier to get news from the King of Wu."

Gu Qinghe was puzzled. "But I heard that Pingyang will stay in the capital, and there may be news from the Yao Mansion. Chizhou is very close to the fiefdom of King Wu. If there is any news there, can't you tell me?"

It seemed as if she had already treated Shao Wei as her own, and Shao Wei didn't know whether he should be happy about this.

But when it comes to King Wu, Gu Qinghe still has some other plans. She looked around and pulled Shao Wei to the study room to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

After the window was closed, she spoke, "I plan to investigate the Wu Palace before the King of Wu leaves the capital."

After returning from Prince Wu's Mansion that day, Gu Qinghe couldn't sleep all night. She felt that her mother might be locked up in some corner of Prince Wu's Mansion waiting for her.

She found this kind of life of freedom hard to endure, so wouldn't it be even more miserable for her mother to be locked up without seeing the sun?

If I can really find my mother before the King of Wu leaves the capital, what would a little risk matter?

It's not that Shao Wei hadn't thought about what she was thinking, but he just didn't have the heart to disappoint her.

"Have you ever thought that maybe your mother is not imprisoned in the King of Wu's palace? The King of Wu is such a cautious person. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, he may have already moved your mother to another place, or even sent her to her fiefdom in advance."

"No." Gu Qinghe said, "If the King of Wu was really obsessed with my mother for so many years, he would not be willing to let my mother out of his sight for so long, and he would not hide my mother somewhere else. If you like someone, you can only feel at ease if you see her every day."

What's more, the King of Wu's feelings were obtained through stealing and plundering.

Naturally, he could only feel at ease if he could see his mother every day. No matter where she hid, she would not be safe under his nose.

Shao Wei's eyes darkened, and for a moment he didn't know what he was thinking about, his expression tense.

After a long while, he asked, "Have you ever liked someone like this?"
