Chapter 140 Couple's Scheme

Shuyao brought over a cloak. "Your Highness, put this on so you don't catch a cold."

Jiang Zhi put on a cloak and got out of bed.

A four-person table was placed in the south-facing window.

She pushed open the window, and the faint warm sunlight shone into the room like scattered silver.

The perilous night before seemed like a dream. She sat in the sunlight, basking in its warmth, a gentle breeze blowing by.

She remembered that Lou Shuangxin pleaded for Gu Yuan in the secret room until his last breath, and she couldn't be sure whether what Lou Shuangxin said was true or false.

But her kidnapping was no accident, and this was the only trick Gu Yuan could think of.

His background is enough to give him a lot of trouble.

But now there's a thorny problem...

Gu Liang looked at the unfolded map in the study.

He glanced at the guard beside him, who understood and went to call Qinghuai.

When Qing Huai arrived, he saw Gu Liang's fingertip land on a city, Liangzhou.

Qinghuai was taken aback. "Your Highness, weren't you going to the Northern Barbarians?"

Liangzhou is in the south, far from the place Gu Liang is going to.

"Let me take a look." Gu Liang withdrew his hand and sat down behind the desk. "How are the preparations for the trip going?"

“Everything is ready,” Qinghuai said. “Two teams of our White Tiger Army are waiting over there.”

Gu Liang rolled up the map on the table. "Alright, we'll set off in three days."

Qinghuai raised an eyebrow, "So fast?"

Although everything was arranged, he was supposed to set off in seven days according to the original plan.

"Bai Wuyou has arrived, we can set off now," Gu Liang said.

If Bai Wuyou hadn't insisted that he rest for a few more days, he could have left now.

"Then... then will you personally go and take care of the Princess?" Qinghuai asked tentatively.

His prince always avoids the princess when doing things that are detrimental to himself. Although he doesn't yet understand the subtleties involved, he can only ask indirectly.

"I'll find an opportunity to talk to her about it."

He was afraid that if he told her, she would worry too much about herself and forget what she was supposed to do.

He didn't want that. He never confined her to the inner courtyard of the house. She should roam the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, and even her own world.

Gu Liang lowered her eyes, concealing the darkness within them.

In the afternoon, Jiang Zhi went to see Dr. Han to visit Chenxi.

Chenxi couldn't get up yet. She looked at Jiang Zhi, her eyes slightly red.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhi joked, "If you cry, Wu Shi will laugh at you for the rest of his life."

Her two maids were composed at dawn and lively at noon.

She often takes Wu Shi with her on weekdays to help her develop resilience, so that she can handle things on her own if Wu Shi is not around.

Even now, she still cries like a little crybaby, her eyes always swollen from crying.

Chenxi glanced at the little girl beside her and smiled. "If you want to cry, then cry."

At noon, she rubbed her nose. After waking up in the morning light, she hugged her and cried happily, but this made Doctor Han not very happy.

"If you cry here, people will think I'm not a good doctor," Dr. Han said angrily.

The old man, who had a bit of a temper, wouldn't let her stay there. He pleaded with her at noon, and only after she offered to make five late-night snacks for Doctor Han did he allow her to stay.

When Doctor Han entered the room and saw Jiang Zhi, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Your Highness, you've come at the perfect time. Quickly take this girl away; she's giving me a headache."

"Dr. Han, that's not very kind of you," Wu Shi pouted. "It's not like this when you want snacks."

Doctor Han chuckled, "That's because I feel sorry for you, that's why I can't let you leave."

He handed the medicine to the maid who came to help, saying, "Quickly, one of you is injured and the other is sick, go back and rest. Don't linger here, I need to collect my money."

Jiang Zhi naturally trusted Doctor Han's medical skills. Seeing that Chen Xi's condition was stable, he felt relieved and got up to thank Doctor Han.

Jiang Zhi asked Shu Yao to lead the two away from the medicine room; she was going to find Gu Liang.

At this moment, Gu Liang was on the training ground, his long eyebrows slightly raised, his bow fully drawn, his expression indifferent, aiming at the bullseye ahead.

The arrow left the bowstring with a 'whoosh' and pierced the bullseye.

"Your Highness is quite skilled."

Upon hearing this, Gu Liang turned around.

Today she wore a dark green, narrow-sleeved gauze dress, her long hair was tied up high, and the dark ends of her hair hung down high, making her look very neat.

Gu Liang had never seen her dressed like this before, and his gaze remained fixed on her.

"Why are you here?" he asked gently. "You should be resting in bed now."

Jiang Zhi stepped forward, "It was fine yesterday, what happened to your hair?"

She looked at Gu Liang's hair, which should have been white, but had now turned back to its original black color.

Gu Liang pondered for a while, then said, "It's alright, Bai Wuyou is cured."

"Is he that good?" Jiang Zhi asked, half believing it.

"Did you come here specifically for something important?" Gu Liang skillfully changed the subject.

Jiang Zhi nodded, reached out and grabbed Gu Liang's sleeve, and looked up at him.

"I have something important to tell you..."

Gu Liang raised an eyebrow slightly. "Are you saying you set the fire at Baima Temple?"
