When the old doctor came to the hall, he was stunned when he saw the prince, and then he sighed.

As a doctor with superb medical skills, he has seen too many unusual behaviors of powerful families, but he kept silent about them. After all, these things were not something he could ask about!

After quietly treating the prince's injuries, he left with the medicine box!

Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Gu Jingzhi said, "Your Highness, Jin Lehuang has confessed everything. The conspiracy at the annual banquet... I think it won't be long before it's exposed to the world!"

"It won't be long before someone in the capital will come and bring His Highness back..."

Gu Jingzhi simply recounted the whole story without mentioning what to do when he returned to the capital. These princes knew more than Gu Jingzhi.

Moreover, after this incident, some things will probably become clearer in his mind.

After hearing this, the prince asked directly: "Jingzhi, what about you? When will you return to the capital?"

When he asked this question, even Qiao Shuwan looked at Gu Jingzhi. She was particularly concerned about when Gu Jingzhi would return to Beijing.

However, to their disappointment, Gu Jingzhi simply shook his head and said, "Your Highness, civil servants are assigned to remote areas for a three-year term. You and I both know this. My Northwest Tour is just a figurehead. I have no choice but to take on this position that matches my rank because of my title!"

"However, my first official position was actually the prefect of Ningzhou. It has only been a year since then. Your Majesty cannot transfer me back to the capital at this time. I'm afraid it will take another two years!"

"Oh!"

After hearing this, the prince felt a little disappointed!

He forced a smile and said, "The court rules are like this, there's nothing we can do about it! But I've been in Ningzhou for almost a year now, and I really have to thank Jingzhi. If it weren't for Jingzhi... I'm afraid I'd be dead right now!"

What he said was not just referring to this time, but also to Gu Jingzhi's support for him over the past year.

"I was feeling depressed before, so it's inevitable that I felt a little depressed. But after so many things happened, I really should reflect on it. It's just..."

He looked at Gu Jingzhi and said seriously: "No matter what happens in the future, I will regard Jingzhi as a close friend. I just hope Jingzhi will not blame me for the past. I..."

"Your Highness..."

Although Gu Jingzhi was feeling unusually calm, he pretended to sigh and said, "No one is perfect. There's no need to dwell on the past. I just hope Your Highness takes good care of himself. The situation in the capital is complicated, and Your Highness understands it better than I do!"

"Ok!"

The prince nodded, then asked, "Ajiu... no, it was Jin Lehuang... how did Jing Zhi deal with it?"

"..."

Before Gu Jingzhi could speak, Qiao Shuwan frowned: "Why? My husband can't bear to part with her?"

"Where are these words?"

The prince gave a bitter laugh and sighed, "It's just a question, dust to dust, just asking!"

Gu Jingzhi said calmly: "After she confessed everything, she was given a cup of poisoned wine... This can be regarded as fulfilling her former identity!"

"That's good...that's good!"

The prince sighed slightly, then smiled and said, "I came here today for no other reason than to thank Jing Zhi. Now that I have said all, it is time for me to leave!"

After hearing this, Gu Jingzhi asked, "Your Highness, you just had the medicine changed on your injury. Would you like to rest for a while?"

"never mind!"

The prince shook his head and said, "If it's delayed for too long, it will only make people suspicious. Now is the perfect time!"

As he said this, he struggled to get up, and naturally he couldn't avoid suffering again!

Gu Jingzhi had someone carry the prince to the door on a soft chair, and the two said goodbye. However, Qiao Shuwan turned around to look at Gu Jingzhi. Gu Jingzhi nodded imperceptibly, and then watched everyone leave!

……

After the prince left, the old doctor came over.

"Ugh!"

He sighed softly and said, "That guest is a very good friend of yours, right?"

"???"

Gu Jingzhi turned his head and said, "Doctor Tian, do you have anything to say?"

"Ok!"

The old doctor hesitated for a moment and said, "Being stabbed in the snow, and injuring the lungs, it's inevitable that the cold will enter the body. Add to that the excessive blood loss, and I'm afraid the root of this disease cannot be expelled!"

"If I don't take good care of myself, I'm afraid I'll be terminally ill in just one or two years, let alone ten years!"

"what?"

Gu Jing was stunned: "Is it really that serious?"

"What else do you think?"

The old doctor rolled his eyes at him angrily and said, "The wound is too big. If it weren't for timely treatment and good medicine to keep him alive, I'm afraid he would have died!"

Having said that, the old doctor flicked his sleeves and left!

Looking at the old doctor's back as he left, thinking about what he said, Gu Jingzhi felt a little gloomy in his heart.

I don’t know how long it took before Liu Sandao came over.

"grown ups……"

Gu Jingzhi regained consciousness and looked at Liu Sandao: "Have you finished investigating the Cong family?"

"Ok!"

Liu Sandao nodded and said, "We've investigated everything, and the situation is indeed true. Mr. Cong was indeed coerced, and he knew his daughter was dead, but he was under duress, so he didn't dare tell anyone!"

"I have gathered all the information and it is clear that Mr. Cong has nothing to do with this matter!"

Is that so?

Gu Jingzhi thought about it, and finally sighed: "Since it has nothing to do with them, there is no need to control them anymore, just let them go!"

Although he also wanted to find out the remnants of Jin Lehuang's forces one by one, Jin Lehuang refused to say anything. Apart from helping the prince clear his name, she did not mention the forces under her command at all!

However, for Gu Jingzhi, his goal was basically achieved. Without Jin Lehuang as their backbone, the remnants could not cause any trouble.

"Let's leave it at that! The New Year is coming soon, let's have a good time, brothers. There are more important things waiting for us next year, so let the people below relax during the New Year holiday!"

"My subordinates will do it now!"

Liu Sandao didn't say anything more and left directly.

Although Ningzhou Prefecture has only been in existence for a year, and they have been repairing city roads and other things, there is still some money in the treasury. After all, the commercial taxes... are really lucrative!

In addition, the people who built the city roads were all criminals. They only needed to be fed and clothed, and no other expenses were required, which saved a lot of money.

Therefore, Ningzhou's development in one year is faster than that of other cities in several years.

In the coming year, he only needs to build on this foundation to consolidate Ningzhou's foundation and ensure its continued development. He doesn't have to be as busy as this year!

However, when he thought of this, he suddenly thought of the military pay.

This is related to Gu Jingzhi's next plan, and I don't know how Lin Feng is doing.

He had been busy dealing with Jin Lehuang's affairs these past few days and hadn't had time to meet Lin Feng. It was time to ask...
