Bringing out the medicine from the kitchen, Ling walked unhurriedly to the door of Gu Youmeng's room. Seeing that the door was closed, he felt a little suspicious, and stepped forward to knock on the door lightly.

A moment later, she heard someone's footsteps.Chunjiu unlocked the latch, pushed the door open, poked his head out and asked, "Who?"

"It's me." Zero handed her the small bowl in his hand, with a serious tone, "I just went to see it, and the medicine pot is almost boiled dry, what are you doing? You forgot about the master's medicine!"

"No, it's not..." Chunjiu took the medicine bowl with a bitter face, moved his lips, but didn't say anything.

"Is it Miss Ling? Chunjiu, please invite someone in." There was a gentle voice in the room, and Ling's hands stopped, and the owner of this voice was recognized as Aunt Gu Youmeng this morning, Mrs. Zhao.

"Ling, Miss Ling, please come in..." Chunjiu held the medicine bowl tremblingly, making way for Ling.

Glancing at her, Ling walked in calmly, and saw that unremarkable woman sitting on the small bed in the outhouse.

"Mrs. Zhao." Ling bowed to her, "I don't know how offensive you are just now."

"This is no offense at all." Mrs. Zhao stood up and smiled politely at her. "Miss Ling, please sit down. I'll take a look at Youmeng. This child is always in good health, but this time he fell ill for some reason."

"It's just a slight cold, Mrs. Zhao don't have to worry." Ling sat opposite her, with soothing words.

"I'm afraid this child is homesick. Miss Ling, can you discuss with your third prince, let Youmeng live with me for a few days, and let me take care of her for my sister." Mrs. Zhao lowered her head. His eyes looked sad, as if he remembered something sad.

"Of course, I'll go and tell the lord, Mrs. Zhao will wait for a while." Ling was about to get up, but was stopped by Mrs. Zhao.

"Don't be so anxious, Miss Ling, I still want to talk to you more. I have never been out of Beimo in my life. I am quite interested in Fengguo beyond Beimo." Mrs. Zhao took her hand , seemingly unintentionally squeezed her wrist, and let it go again.

"Fengguo?" There was a trace of uncertainty in Ling's masked eyes, "Fengguo is just composed of various fortifications, which is similar to the territory of the Gu family. In this way, the Gu family can be regarded as a dynasty in Beimo."

"That's how it works. The Gu family only dares to show off in the Gu family city, but not in other places. How can they compare with the royal family?" Mrs. Zhao laughed at herself, as if she thought she was joking, "But zero Girl, why are you wearing a mask, did you have any injuries on your face?"

"Yes, the injury when I was a child left a scar, which looks quite scary." Zero said casually.

"Can you let me take a look? I'm not afraid of your jokes. When I was young, I had some medical skills with a wandering doctor. Maybe I can remove your scars."

"Thank you ma'am, there's no need for that. This scar has been with me for a long time. If it disappears one day, I'm not used to it yet." Ling shook his head.

"Your child is quite optimistic." Mrs. Zhao glanced at her appreciatively, "The third prince is really blessed, with Master Mitton and Mrs. Meng on the top to protect him, and you good children to accompany him below. Mengyi went to Fengguo, and there is no close person around, I am here to ask Miss Ling, please take good care of her."

"It's natural." Zero nodded, "The prince will treat his wife well, don't worry."

"That's good." Mrs. Zhao smiled, "Okay, Miss Ling, please help me to ask the Third Prince, I'll wait for your news here."

"Wait a moment." Ling stood up and bowed to her, passed Chunjiu, and walked out without looking back.

Looking at her back, Mrs. Zhao kept smiling.

"Mrs. Zhao, here, this bowl of medicine..." Chunjiu held the medicine bowl and looked at her in horror, "Do you want to feed it to Miss?"

"What do you think? If you don't drink it for You Meng, should I give it to you?" Mrs. Zhao lowered her face and looked at her, her eyes were dim.

"Madam, may I ask the doctor to see if..." the maid standing behind her asked cautiously.

Mrs. Zhao shook her head with a confident expression, "No need, the medicine is prescribed by the doctor of the Gu family, and the medicine is boiled by the servants of the Gu family. That Ling girl has powerful magic power, so how could she bother to do such nasty things as poisoning? It's in our Gu family, they wouldn't choose here if they wanted to do something, so there's no need to be so trembling. And...if you do unnecessary things, let them know, wouldn't it be a hindrance to Youmeng? "

"Yes, ma'am." The maid obediently retreated.

"Hurry up." Mrs. Zhao glanced at the spring wine and said impatiently.

"Okay, okay." Chunjiu didn't dare to delay, and carefully went in with the medicine bowl. Gu Youmeng was lying down and resting. She stood by the bed and called softly, "Miss, miss."

The person in the quilt moved, and the white arm opened the quilt, revealing that delicate face, with a smile and sleepiness on her face, she couldn't see any difference from the past, but Chunjiu knew in her heart, The person in front of him has changed his soul.

"It's time to take the medicine." She lowered her head, not daring to look or speak, and handed the medicine respectfully.

"Well...it's this medicine again, it's so bitter, I don't want to drink it." Gu Youmeng frowned, pouted, and asked, "Where is Aunt Zhao, is she still there?"

"Yes." With a doting and helpless voice, Mrs. Zhao came in, looked at her tenderly and smiled, "Drink the medicine obediently. Could it be that you want to make your condition worse?"

"Don't drink it, it's too bitter." Gu Youmeng stretched out her hand to her, with a hint of coquettishness in her eyes, "Aunt Zhao, I'm most afraid of suffering, so I don't want to drink."

Mrs. Zhao sighed helplessly, and stretched out her hand to signal Chunjiu to pass the medicine to her, "Hey, Aunt Zhao, drink it obediently."

"...Okay." With a bitter face, Gu Youmeng watched her scoop up a small spoonful of medicine, handed it to herself, and then reluctantly opened her mouth to drink it.

"Aunt Zhao, I'm going back to Fengguo in a few days, and then you won't see me for a long time."

"Yes." Mrs. Zhao sat beside her, gently wiped the liquid medicine from her mouth, and said softly.

"... But I don't want to go to Fengguo, Aunt Zhao, I don't want to marry the third prince." Gu Jingyue was coquettish to her, pulling her sleeve.

"Nonsense, you are already married, why are you still saying such stupid things." Mrs. Zhao gave her a reproachful look, but she was also a little worried, "The third prince...doesn't treat you well?"

"It's not bad, it's just..." Gu Youmeng lowered her head in frustration, "I still like the old days, how nice it was to be free."

"Stupid child, how can people be so carefree all the time." Mrs. Zhao touched her head and lowered her eyes, "You are growing up too, it's time to worry about your future."

"...But the life I want is not like this." Gu Youmeng glanced at her secretly, seemingly unintentionally, "I should have listened to you, Aunt Zhao, to stay and learn how to manage the Gu family with my father."

"..." Mrs. Zhao shook her head slightly, "It's enough for you to learn how to manage the third prince's palace. It's too late to talk about it now."

"..." Gu Youmeng opened her mouth, and was about to say something when she heard a soft knock on the door.

"Come in." Mrs. Zhao raised her hand to block her words, and raised her voice.

Ling pushed open the door and came in, bowed and said politely: "Madam Zhao, the prince has agreed, but do you want me to call someone to help pack things now?"

"No, I'll pick You Meng up later, there's a dinner tonight, let her tidy up first." Mrs. Zhao stood up and said with a smile, "I should go too... You Meng, remember to rest well."

"Well, goodbye, Aunt Zhao." Gu Youmeng nodded obediently at her.

Zero glanced at Chunjiu, motioned for Chunjiu to take them out, and Chunjiu hurriedly followed them out.

"Hey, this is to share the same room with me, is it that Miss Ling is still a little cautious about me." Gu Youmeng cast a wink at Ling, her voice was soft and scary.

"Don't disgust me." Zero said with a smile, "How about it, are you still used to this body?"

"It's not bad." Gu Youmeng rubbed her arms, "After so many years of wandering, I finally have a body, and it feels pretty good."

"That's good."

"By the way," Gu Youmeng suddenly raised her head seriously, looked at her and said, "People from the Gu family are watching today, did you add that to my medicine?"

"Added." Zero sat on the stool casually.

"...You are really courageous." Gu Youmeng smiled helplessly, "Master is really relieved to leave everything to you."

"The medicine I prepared, they can't find it with their ability."

"You are really confident enough." Gu Youmeng smiled maliciously, "By the way, we have a real wife, and have you received a letter from the cute little Siqian?"

"No, it probably hasn't arrived yet." Zero lowered his head, sweeping the folds of his clothes.

"Tell me... how many masks will Little Siqian bring back for you this time?"

"...Unexpectedly, since there is nothing wrong with you here, I will go first, and don't forget the Gu family dinner." Zero stood up, his voice cold.

"If you don't like it, can you tell her clearly? Why hang her like this?" Gu Youmeng smiled softly, raised her hand and looked at her slender fingers, "Poor little Siqian, just being teased by you like this .”

"I never teased her." Turning around to look at her, Zero's eyes were dark.

"Angry?" Gu Youmeng covered her mouth and smiled softly, "Alas... You said that you are such a hard-hearted person, why did you imitate other people's heroes to save the beauty, and let the little girl never leave you? Don’t give up, I joined the master’s team because of you, right, little Siqian doesn’t know what our real purpose is, does she? If it wasn’t for you, she would be able to do this.”

"..." Zero stared at her calmly, "Are you sure...you want to discuss this matter with me today?"

"There, I don't dare." Gu Youmeng waved her hand at her, making a casual expression.

Zero no longer looked at her, turned around and stepped out of the back room.

"But as an old friend, I still want to advise you, don't lead people who care about you into your scam, and tell yourself that she is not for you. If one day, little Siqian encounters an accident because of you, you You will definitely regret it. People like me know that if you shouldn’t delay, don’t delay... If you still care about her future, then start now and don’t give her any hope. "

He lowered his head and glanced at the eaves of the inner room, but there was no response, and he stepped up steadily, and walked out after a while.
