After Qin Qi and his companion left, the main courtyard of the Prince's mansion was brightly lit.
Gu Liang sat under the lamp, her eyes deep in thought.
"Your Highness, are you sure you don't need to have Doctor Han come and take a look?" Qinghuai asked. "Are you sure you don't need to apply any medicine?"
Gu Liang glanced at Qing Huai and said casually, "No need."
Qinghuai lowered his head and did not respond.
Suddenly, a hurried voice came from the doorway, "Who said it wasn't necessary?"
Jiang Zhi carried the tray and stepped inside.
Jiang Zhi sat down next to Gu Liang and said, "Apply the medicine."
Qinghuai silently withdrew.
Gu Liang looked at Jiang Zhi.
Jiang Zhi pulled aside Gu Liang's clothes, revealing the wound on his chest.
The blood at the wound had long since congealed, turning completely black.
Jiang Zhi frowned. "Is Your Highness truly alright?"
The blood looked like poison, and her eyes darkened.
Could it be that Old Han asked her for medicinal herbs back then because of him?
However, she had never heard of him being poisoned, nor had she ever seen him exhibit any symptoms of poisoning, and he appeared no different from an ordinary person.
"You," Gu Liang said, half-closing her eyes, "are you concerned about me?"
Jiang Zhi replied without hesitation, "I didn't care about you at all."
“I just,” Jiang Zhi said, “didn’t you say you were injured while saving me?”
"In that case, I should at least take responsibility for you."
After she finished speaking, her face actually turned a little red.
He lowered his eyes to gaze at her, his gaze clear, his expression containing a hint of smugness, as well as his unique cunning and confidence. "I still feel that you care about me."
Jiang Zhi glanced at him and made an excuse for herself, "I need to concentrate on applying the medicine."
Jiang Zhi picked up a handkerchief from the side, soaked it, wrung it out, and wiped him.
"This is a special wound medicine made by Junkangtang. It may hurt a little, but the effect is excellent."
After saying that, she evenly sprinkled the white powder from the bottle onto the wound on Gu Liang's chest.
While she was applying the medicine, she gently stroked his wrist with her other hand.
I thought the pain from applying the medicine would cause his arm to twitch, but to my surprise, Gu Liang didn't have much of a reaction throughout the entire process.
Jiang Zhi looked at him with a puzzled expression. "If Your Highness is in pain, you don't need to endure it."
He watched as Jiang Zhi meticulously applied the medicine to him, his eyes flashing.
"And what about you?" he blurted out.
Jiang Zhi tilted her head, about to ask him what he meant, when she suddenly realized.
After thinking for a moment about handing the hand warmer to Wu Shi when she returned home, she lowered her head and continued applying medicine to Gu Liang.
Gu Liang stared at her intently for a moment. "Do you have anything else planned for tonight?"
"You look flustered; you can't be resting, can you?" He was still a little curious.
"I might have to go home later to take care of some things."
After saying that, Jiang Zhi realized something was wrong and clenched her fists slightly.
"What's so urgent that you need to do it tonight?" Gu Liang asked.
"It's related to Junkangtang."
Gu Liang sighed and composed herself. "But I'm injured. Can't you stay and take care of me?"
Jiang Zhi paused, "I, I..."
"Fine." Gu Liang shifted back, saying defiantly, "I don't need you to take care of me."
"Go and do your work."
He began to close his clothes.
“Hey, hey,” Jiang Zhi grabbed his fidgeting hand, “Who said I was leaving?”
"If I leave now, even God might think I'm heartless."
"Right..."
Jiang Zhi's voice grew softer and softer until she stopped speaking.
She moved closer and discovered that Gu Liang had more than one wound on her body.
Gu Liang was still looking at Jiang Zhi when he unconsciously moved his body forward.
As he moved closer, the subtle fragrance emanating from Jiang Zhi wafted over, stirring up a turbulent feeling in his heart.
They were so close, close enough that if he moved even slightly closer, he could touch her lips.
She frowned, unconsciously pursed her lips, and nervously held her breath.
The two people's chests trembled, their breathing synchronized.
Suddenly, Jiang Zhiyi grabbed Gu Liang's hand, and everything came to an abrupt stop.
"It probably aggravated the wound," Gu Liang said.
Jiang Zhi immediately let go and quickly turned her head.
He leaned back slightly, his eyes filled with lingering reluctance.
At this moment, Jiang Zhi was flustered and confused. Her heart was beating very fast. Although she was not suffocating, she felt inexplicably dizzy. She shook her head and tried to control herself.
Gu Liang waved his hand in front of her eyes, "Don't get distracted, bandage me properly."
"Oh, okay." Jiang Zhi quickly replied.
Then wrap the rest of his wounds with a clean white cloth.
"Maybe I didn't bandage it properly enough," Jiang Zhi said. "It's fine now."
Jiang Zhi blinked and said, "It's getting late, let's get some rest."
After saying that, she turned around and jumped towards her bed.
Gu Liang's gaze followed her onto the bed.
Jiang Zhi, who had already crawled into bed, stared upwards.
I tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
She must be too tired lately, so she needs to get some sleep.
Thinking of this, she reached under her pillow for a silver needle, sat up in bed, and thrust it directly into the Fengchi acupoint on the back of her neck.
Sure enough, she fell asleep immediately.
Gu Liang, watching from the opposite side, couldn't help but want to laugh.
His wife was indeed extraordinary.

Prince Jing's Mansion.
"You're all a bunch of useless trash!" Gu Yuan slapped the guard Xiao Feng hard across the face.
"Your Highness, please forgive me." Xiao Feng immediately knelt down and explained, "This humble servant has investigated and found that the craftsmen who appeared tonight are all from Qingzhou, working in the palace, and none of them know martial arts."
Gu Yuan closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again, her eyes filled with ruthlessness.
"How could you allow someone like this to sneak into such an important banquet? What are you all good for?!"
"If I hadn't reacted quickly and stood in front of my father, I don't know how those ministers who couldn't distinguish right from wrong would have made fun of me."
Xiao Feng looked up at Gu Yuan and said, "Your Highness, all we know about the person who planted the explosives is that he is not from the palace."
"Could it be...?"
Gu Yuan clenched her fists, her eyes filled with malice, and her anger surged.
Who exactly has been sabotaging his plans?
Could it be the couple?
If that's the case, then he'll be dealing with more than just Gu Liang.
Now, Marquis Zhongjing is useless; he doesn't need to care whether he lives or dies.
As for Wen Xiangyu, the Imperial Noble Consort has already made her choice; Wen Xiangyu's life or death can only be used to settle things for him.
In royal power struggles, bloodshed is perfectly normal.
He was furious that the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet was ruined tonight.
"Useless." Gu Yuan said fiercely, "Send some capable people to Yu County to handle things, the sooner the better, and absolutely no one else can find out."
He wanted to erase all traces of himself before his father could conduct a thorough investigation, so that Wen Xiangyu could be convicted.
"And also, send a message to Wei Zhuo..."
"If you make another mistake, you'll be the next one to die."
"Your subordinate obeys." Having received the order, Xiao Feng withdrew.
Gu Yuan got up and looked out the window at the pitch black outside.
He gritted his teeth and muttered, "Jiang, stop. Gu, lang."
