Gu Yuchen said softly to Lin Qingya: "You take a rest first. I'll go exercise and come back to call you for breakfast later."

He turned and left, and the door closed gently with his movement, leaving Lin Qingya alone in the room.

Soon, Lin Qingya's breathing became steady and she fell into a deep sleep.

The third prince drank too much last night and passed out. He just woke up and felt a headache and his throat felt like it was smoking.

He asked the waiter to bring him water and breakfast, and asked the servants to help him wash and change his clothes.

The third prince now seems to be fine, with no trace of yesterday at all.

Lin Qingya saw a heartbreaking scene in her dream.

On the roadside, a group of people were skinny and their eyes were full of despair and helplessness.

Lin Qingya's heart was deeply touched, and she felt the suffering and pain of these people.

She continued to move forward, only to see an even more shocking scene.

A large number of people died in the wilderness. Their symptoms seemed like death from illness, but more like death from plague.

Lin Qingya couldn't stand this desolate scene, and her mood became heavy and sad.

In her dream, she was looking for Gu Yuchen and his men, but she could not find them.

She walked alone in this empty space, calling out Gu Yuchen's name loudly, but the only response she got was silence and the sound of the wind.

She didn't know whether Gu Yuchen was in danger or had left the place.

At the same time, Gu Yuchen was practicing martial arts attentively in a deserted place.

He felt that his body had almost recovered and his mood became cheerful.

While practicing, he kept thinking about Lin Qingya.

He didn't know what was wrong with him that he cared so much about a woman's safety.

Gu Yuchen once thought that he would not like a woman, but after meeting Lin Qingya, his mind changed completely.

Lin Qingya is completely different from other women. She is real and honest, and never pretentious.

Gu Yuchen admired and respected her character and behavior. Unknowingly, Lin Qingya had entered his heart.

When Gu Yuchen finished practicing and returned to the room, he found Lin Qingya still sleeping.

He walked gently to the bedside, looked at her quiet face, and an inexplicable feeling surged in his heart.

He couldn't bear to disturb her sweet dream, so he sat quietly beside the bed waiting for her to wake up.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Qingya finally woke up. She saw Gu Yuchen sitting beside the bed and felt a warm feeling in her heart.

She sat up, and Gu Yuchen handed her a cup of hot tea and asked her with concern: "Are you okay? Did you have a nightmare?"

Lin Qingya told Gu Yuchen about the scene in her dream, with a slight tremor in her voice.

Gu Yuchen was silent for a while after listening.

Then he said, "Those are just dreams, don't worry too much. I will keep you safe and won't let you get hurt."

Hearing Gu Yuchen's words, Lin Qingya felt a warm feeling in her heart.

She knew that Gu Yuchen was a trustworthy person.

His promise reassured her.

She nodded and said softly, "Thank you, Gu Yuchen."

In the following days, the relationship between Gu Yuchen and Lin Qingya became closer and closer.

They practiced together, ate together, and chatted together.

They also slept in the same bed. At the beginning, Lin Qingya lay motionless in bed, not even daring to breathe deeply.

However, every time she fell asleep, Lin Qingya would hang on Gu Yuchen like a creeper. Gu Yuchen had to cover Lin Qingya with a blanket several times a day.

Lin Qingya gradually adapted to this kind of life, and she began to enjoy the time she spent with Gu Yuchen.

However, the happy days only lasted one day.

In the morning, someone came to convey an imperial decree to the third prince, conferring him the title of the Wise King.

The third prince bowed respectfully to receive the order and gave the eunuch who announced the order a silver note of one hundred taels.

The eunuch who announced the imperial decree said some words of congratulations, then mounted his horse and left.

The third prince was not dissatisfied with this. Instead, he looked relieved. He did not want to become a victim of power.

And he was not interested in that position. He just wanted to avenge his biological mother and then live the life he wanted.

As for that seat, whoever wants to sit there can sit there.

That night, Gu Yuchen saw the exiles mentioned by the messenger.

They are from the Anguo Mansion, the family of Gu Yuchen's mother.

There is also the family of the Minister of War Chao Wei, who is the family of Chao Jiuli, Gu Yuchen’s right-hand man.

The other one is the Li family. Li Da has little to do with Gu Yuchen.

There was another person that Lin Qingya didn't want to see, the home of Liu Tao, the Minister of War. If there was a mansion in the prosperous capital that Lin Qingya didn't want to easily set foot in, it was the mansion of Liu Tao, the Minister of War.

Liu Tao's second daughter, Liu Yuhan, and Lin Qingya have long had an irreconcilable feud. Every time they meet, it seems like a fierce quarrel.

In past memories, Lin Qingya was always the weak woman who was hurt by Liu Yuhan’s sharp words. She was always scolded to tears and felt heartbroken.

And Liu Yuhan always seemed to enjoy using those sharp words to hurt Lin Qingya, and especially liked to use the Second Prince as a weapon of attack.

She once sneered contemptuously that the second prince's ideal person was none other than her, and Lin Qingya was just a wishful thinking toad.

She also said that a woman like Lin Qingya actually dared to covet the second prince who was as noble as a swan, which was simply overestimating her own abilities.

There was even one time when she asked Lin Qingya to find a puddle to take a good look at herself, mocking her for being a mistress to an old man and yet no one wanted her.

Lin Qingya chewed over these harsh words in her memory, feeling mixed emotions. She had to admit that although some of Liu Yuhan's words were harsh, they were not without reason.

But even so, she could not tolerate Liu Yuhan bullying the original owner so unscrupulously.

Now that she has come to this world and occupied this body, she must seek justice for the original owner and make those who have hurt her pay the price they deserve.

She swore secretly in her heart, Liu Yuhan, since you dare to bully the original owner like this, don’t even think about having an easy life.

Liu Yuhan snorted when she saw Lin Qingya and stopped looking at her, looking very disgusted.

Seeing this, Yan Xiaoyan said to Liu Yuhan, "Who the hell are you? How dare you act like a big shot here?"

Liu Yuhan sneered at Yan Xiaoyan, "Don't think you are superior to others, who are you?"

Yan Xiaoyan wanted to curse back, but was stopped by Lin Qingya.

Lin Qingya is unwilling to confront Liu Yuhan now, but she will let Liu Yuhan know in the future that I, Lin Qingya, am not a lamb to be slaughtered.

Now that you are here, I will not let you leave easily. I will repay you in my own way for all you have given to the original owner.

There is another family that Gu Yuchen least wants to see, because the head of the Ruan family, Ruan Yangjiang, is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

When Gu Yuchen led his troops to war, he was responsible for distributing food and fodder. He once withheld food and fodder from Gu Yuchen. Later, Gu Yuchen complained to the emperor.

He held a grudge in his heart and made things difficult for Gu Yuchen everywhere, but Gu Yuchen was never afraid of him.

It can be said that everyone in the court knew that they were enemies.
