"I'll go check out the herbs first, you guys wait here."

Yun Yue obviously had no interest in the injured man. She was more interested in the rare and precious herbs in Baicaotang.

Seeing Yunyue leave, Jiang Jiang quietly nudged Gu Yanhuan beside her and whispered, "Just now... that young man, was that Liu Chengan, right?"

"You, how do you know?"

Gu Yanhuan looked up at Jiang Jiang in surprise.

"I was lucky enough to meet General Liu from afar once before, but I couldn't see him clearly. Besides, apart from your brother, he's probably the only one who can make you, Sister Gu, so nervous!"

Jiang Jiang leaned close to Gu Yanhuan's ear with a smile and said softly, "Since you like him, just take the initiative to fight for him. His wound should be bandaged by now. Go in and see him quickly. I won't go in with you to join in the fun. You have to remember that some opportunities are fleeting. If you really like him, just tell him openly. Whether it will succeed or not, you will know after trying."

Everyone has a mouth. If you like something, say it. If you don’t like something, refuse it.

Is it really that hard? Well, except for the dumb ones.

"Isn't this... too fast, too abrupt?"

After hearing Jiang Jiang's words, Gu Yanhuan hesitated.

"Is it abrupt?" Jiang Jiang glanced at Gu Yanhuan. "How many times have you met Liu Cheng'an before? Why do you like him? Do you think that falling in love with him is a very abrupt thing?"

Ah this...

Gu Yanhuan was confused by Jiang Jiang's question.

In fact, Gu Yanhuan is just a young girl who is just beginning to fall in love. She is also a girl who is insecure, inferior and a little paranoid.

She had never examined this question herself—

Her love for Liu Cheng'an seemed innate, engraved in her bones, and made her unable to control herself.

But think about it now.

Why did she like him so much? She even liked him to the point that she was crazy and would do anything for him.

Isn't it abrupt to like someone like this?

"I……"

Gu Yanhuan couldn't think of an answer, but he looked at Jiang Jiang in front of him with burning eyes.

Whenever Gu Yanhuan is with Jiang Jiang, he feels particularly safe, and...whatever Jiang Jiang says, Gu Yanhuan also pays special attention to it.

In the past, Gu Yanhuan had no friends. She only had her brother by her side, and there was only the shadow of Liu Chengan in her heart.

And now...

Gu Yanhuan now has friends, and even her heart is richer than before. The world in her heart seems to have become wider without her realizing it.

That little heart that could only hold Liu Chengan before, now seemed to have so much more...

"Go."

Jiang Jiang patted Gu Yanhuan's hand and encouraged her with her eyes: "When you are undecided, examine your heart more often. Your heart will tell you what is the right thing to do!"

"Ah."

Facing Jiang Jiang's encouraging eyes, Gu Yanhuan seemed to suddenly feel confident. She nodded and walked into the inner hall alone again.

Yun Ling simply stood guard at the door of the inner hall to prevent others from suddenly disturbing her.

In the inner hall.

The wound on Liu Cheng'an's shoulder had indeed been treated simply and bandaged with cloth.

At this time, Liu Chengan had already put on his coat again, but his handsome face was full of worry——

He just didn't want his family and other people in the court to know that he was injured, so he chose to come to Baicaotang.

Baicaotang's main business is selling various precious medicinal materials. Although the doctors here are also very famous, they are not good at the field of trauma.

There are many kinds of medicinal herbs here, and you will hardly meet any acquaintances here. It is Liu Cheng'an's first choice after returning to Beijing.

But he never expected that he would meet Gu Yanhuan as soon as he entered the door, and judging from Gu Yanhuan's expression, it was obvious that she had recognized him!

Things get a little tricky.

Liu Cheng'an was thinking when he saw Gu Yanhuan's figure appear in front of him again.

**

The inner hall was still filled with a faint smell of blood and a strong smell of medicinal herbs.

The doctor from Baicaotang had already left to get medicine for Liu Cheng'an.

Liu Cheng'an leaned quietly in his chair, watching the girl with picturesque features slowly walk towards him.

"Liu, General Liu."

Gu Yanhuan looked at her sweetheart and said shyly, "You may not remember me. I am..."

"Miss Gu."

Liu Cheng'an spoke slowly and revealed Gu Yanhuan's identity in one sentence.

Not long ago, he had seen her in the attic of Butterfly Garden, so he naturally would not forget her so quickly.

"You...you still remember me?"

Gu Yanhuan's tone was filled with joy, and her eyes were full of light: "I thought... I thought... you..."

"Miss Gu, Liu has something to ask of you."

Before Gu Yanqing could finish her words, Liu Cheng'an interrupted her anxiously.

Liu Cheng'an's face was a little pale at this time, but his eyes were extremely serious.

He didn't want anyone to know about his injury this time.

Since the great victory in the northwest, the Liu family army returned triumphantly, and his personal reputation and that of the Liu family have been rising all the way, even among the people of Qingyun. The people only know the Liu family army and are unaware of your majesty's words.

Liu Cheng'an knew in his heart that His Majesty did not like aristocratic families like them, and wanted to take back the military power that had always been in the hands of the Liu family.

If what happened in the military camp today were to be spread outside, it would give those with ulterior motives an opportunity to criticize the Liu family army and him.

Liu Cheng'an couldn't let this happen.

but now……

The person he was facing was Gu Yanqing's sister.

Gu Yanqing was the most favored minister of Emperor Jianping and the leader of the reformist faction from humble backgrounds in the court.

"General Liu, if you have anything to say, feel free to tell me."

At this time, Gu Yanhuan's voice sounded slowly. She could feel Liu Cheng'an's seriousness, so the expression on Gu Yanhuan's face became extremely solemn at this moment.

"Miss Gu, please keep my injury a secret and don't tell anyone, especially... your brother."

Although Liu Cheng'an is not often in the capital, he is still very wary of Gu Yanqing.

Hearing Liu Chengan's words, Gu Yanhuan was stunned for a moment——

Do you want to keep it a secret from your brother?

Her brother is Gu Yanhuan's only relative, and there have never been any secrets between them.

Gu Yanhuan was a little hesitant in her heart, but Liu Chengan's eyes were really sincere.

Almost subconsciously, she was about to agree, but as soon as her mouth opened, Gu Yanhuan hesitated.

She thought of what Jiang Jiang had just said -

Your heart will tell you what is right.

…………

"I know Miss Gu and Prime Minister Gu have a good relationship, and I don't want you to deceive him. I just don't want others to know that I was injured."

Seeing Gu Yanhuan hesitate, Liu Chengan had to speak again: "Actually, I admire Prime Minister Gu very much, but... there seems to be some misunderstanding between him and my Liu family."

Liu Cheng'an was a little wary of Gu Yanqing in his heart, but at the same time he also admired and appreciated Gu Yanqing. It was a pity that from the beginning, they were not in the same camp——

Gu Yanqing was devoted to reform, while Emperor Jianping was determined to take back power and wealth from the aristocratic families.

As the heir of the Liu family, Liu Cheng'an has been standing on the opposite side of them since he was born.

In fact, Liu Cheng'an had also thought about this: is there no room for maneuver for both sides?

Maybe, yes.

However, he hasn't found that opportunity yet.

At this time, footsteps were heard. It was the doctor from Baicaotang who came back with a few packets of medicinal herbs in his hands.
