Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Everyone was very secretive about his illness and life expectancy, as if they were afraid that saying too much would make him sad, so on weekdays everyone spoke to him very carefully, and even the look in their eyes when they looked at him was always filled with a hint of pity and sympathy.

Moreover, no matter what mistakes he made, everyone would tolerate and forgive him without limits, and no one would ever blame him.

Only Gu Qianhan never spoiled him and never avoided the issue of his life and death.

Gu Qianhan just treated him like an ordinary person, letting him say whatever he wanted and do whatever he wanted. Even though he was clearly terminally ill and unable to get out of bed, Gu Qianhan still insisted on dragging him out of bed and wanted to go horseback riding and playing Cuju with him, to the point that he almost believed that he could jump and dance.

Gu Qianhan never looked at him with pity. In fact, when Gu Qianhan looked at him at this moment, it seemed as if knives were flying in his eyes, as if he wanted to chop him.

Pei Linan didn't know how he could have offended him by lying at home every day, but the feeling of being treated as a normal person by Gu Qianhan made him feel very good.

He smiled and said, "Aunt, I will go sit in my second cousin's yard first, and then come back to accompany you."

How could Madam Gu feel at ease letting him follow Gu Qianhan? She hurriedly said, "No, your second cousin likes to mess around. You are taking medicine now, how can you drink? Don't go anywhere, just stay here and talk with me."

As she spoke, she held down Pei Linan's wheelchair to prevent Gu Qianhan from touching it.

Gu Qianhan did not fight for the wheelchair. He said calmly, "A Ning knew that the Crown Prince's Consort was here, and she has been waiting anxiously in the yard. Mother has not let her go for such a long time. If someone doesn't know, they would think you are making things difficult for her."

Madam Gu glared at him and said, "What do you know? The longer I keep the Crown Princess to chat, the better it will be for her! She finally came here and she is so popular, so I naturally want to talk to her for a while. Go and tell An Ning to let her wait a little longer."

"She said she couldn't wait any longer. She felt pain in her chest, probably because she had swallowed water when she fell into the water before. She hasn't felt well since then, so she wants the Crown Prince's Consort to help her."

Mrs. Gu was suspicious: "Really?"

"If you don't believe it, go and see for yourself."

Mrs. Gu really didn't believe it, because after her daughter fell into the water, she had a high fever for one day and didn't feel any discomfort afterwards.

The announcement of his serious illness was just an opportunity to put pressure on the Emperor and the Crown Prince - there was no progress on the marriage, which was very wrong.

But it is not ruled out that Gu Qianning was really feeling a little uncomfortable.

Madam Gu still felt sorry for her daughter, so she quickly let her go: "Since Ah Ning is also looking forward to meeting the Crown Prince's Consort, then you can take her there. Oh, by the way, you can also take Lin An with you. He hasn't seen Ah Ning for a long time, and he must miss her too."

Gu Qianhan nodded indifferently: "Got it, Princess, please come this way."

Shen Wantang nodded to Mrs. Gu and left with Gu Qianhan.

The servant pushed Pei Linan in front, Shen Wantang and Gu Qianhan followed behind, and the three of them went to Gu Qianning's yard together.

On the way, Gu Qianhan said in a light voice: "No matter what my mother said, don't take it to heart. You have heard it, just forget it."

Shen Wantang's heart moved. It seemed that she was right. Mrs. Gu had specially brought Pei Linan to see her.

Madam Gu was special. When she heard Xiao Qingyuan mention divorce, she took it seriously and rushed to marry Pei Linan.

While others were already disliking the divorced woman, Mrs. Gu actually didn't care at all. She was even so enthusiastic that she was a little overwhelmed.

Shen Wantang was somewhat helpless. She glanced at Pei Linan who was sitting in the wheelchair in front of her and said softly, "Okay, I understand."

Gu Qianhan saw her looking at Pei Linan and said, "He's dying, you don't need to look at him anymore."

Shen Wantang: “…”

Wouldn't it be a bit hurtful to be so straightforward? He seemed to have a lot of complaints about Pei Linan!

Pei Linan turned around and said, "Second cousin, can you please not say this behind my back? My body is not very healthy, but my ears are still good."

Gu Qianhan: "Then ask the imperial physician to prescribe you a medicine to cure your ear problem first."

Pei Linan was both angry and amused: "My second cousin is really good to me. My trip was not in vain. My ears are almost deaf."

His life had come to an end, and he knew that he was waiting to die, so his soul had already withered and dried up.

In the past two years, there are very few people who can make him emotional and happy, and Gu Qianhan is the only exception.

Because he had been sick since childhood, he was particularly sensitive and thoughtful, and was good at observing people. When he saw Gu Qianhan and Shen Wantang walking side by side, and heard what Gu Qianhan had just said, a thought popped up in his mind - his second cousin might have taken a fancy to Xiao Qingyuan's princess.

But he felt that this was normal. The Crown Prince's Consort was extremely beautiful and knew when to act. She was praised by Madam Gu for a long time. She was neither arrogant nor impatient, but calm and composed. She looked like a wise woman.

It’s a pity that such an outstanding woman is already married.

Pei Linan originally had no expectations for life, but now he inexplicably wanted to live two more years, because he really wanted to see if his second cousin would snatch the person away in the future.

Too bad, he probably can't see it.

He smiled gently and said, "Second cousin, if you have good things in the future, remember to write a letter and burn it for me. I want to know what you will be like in the future."

Gu Qianhan knew that Pei Linan might have guessed his feelings for Shen Wantang, so he deliberately revealed a clue in front of Pei Linan, in order to prevent Pei Linan's sick brain from breaking down and really thinking about Shen Wantang.

He glanced at Pei Linan indifferently: "There are so many things to do."

He just disliked that he was too nosy, but did not deny that there would be "good things". Pei Linan understood that his second cousin really liked Shen Wantang, and he should really be able to snatch her away.

Pei Linan raised the corners of his lips happily, feeling that his illness had improved by a third.

Xiao Qingyuan, oh Xiao Qingyuan, people used to laugh at him for being a sickly person, but now, the Crown Prince's Consort, whom he married in a formal ceremony, is being coveted by that weirdo Gu Qianhan, he is in trouble!

The group soon arrived at Gu Qianning's yard. When she saw Shen Wantang, Gu Qianning immediately smiled, but when she saw Pei Linan, she was shocked: "Cousin, why are you here?!"

Pei Linan smiled at her and said, "I heard that you fell into the water and were sick, so I came to see you. By the way, I asked my second cousin for a drink."

Gu Qianning's face was full of suspicion: "Is my cousin's illness healed? Can he drink alcohol now?"

Pei Linan's tone revealed an open-mindedness: "The disease is not cured, but this is the worst, so it's okay to have a drink. Didn't the ancients say that life is impermanent, so enjoy it while you can? I plan to put it into practice."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Gu Qianning could react, Gu Qianhan had already stepped forward and pushed Pei Linan out: "You guys chat, we're going to drink."

Gu Qianning couldn't help but look at Shen Wantang: "It's so strange, why is my cousin here? Mother clearly said that my cousin can't stand the wind, but today he is like nothing happened. Did he take the Ten-Herb Tonic Pills?"
