Quick Wear: Plan to Save the Unrequited Boss

In Huayang Palace, Wen Xu, who learned that Wen Ling was coming early in the morning, was waiting in the main hall.

Wen Xu is the youngest of all the princes, having just turned eight this year. Therefore, no matter how fiercely the other princes fight, they never take their younger brother Wen Xu seriously.

First of all, it was because he was young, and secondly, Xu Yi was originally brought into the palace from the common people by Emperor An Cheng. This resulted in Wen Xu having no support from his grandfather in the court, and it would not matter even if Wen Ling married into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Everyone knew that the Duke of Zhenguo would never side with any of the princes. A marriage alliance alone would not win him over.

Wen Ling was satisfied with this, as it meant that Wen Xu was safe in the palace.

"Sister, what took you so long?"

The eight-year-old boy has reached her waist. In fact, both the brother and sister look more like Xu Yi. The boy is still childish, and his big black and white eyes sparkle when he looks at her, which is very cute.

Wen Ling couldn't help but reach out and rub his face.

Wen Xu's cheeks suddenly turned red. He had never been so close to his elder sister since he was six years old.

"I was late after chatting with my father for a while."

Wen Xu nodded, reached out and pulled Wen Ling to sit aside.

"Sister, these are the cakes that the imperial kitchen just made. Come and try them. They are all your favorites."

The young boy looked at you expectantly. Although Wen Ling was not hungry, she did not disappoint him and ate several pieces in a row.

After chatting with Wen Xu for a while about family matters, Wen Ling dismissed all the servants serving in the palace.

Wen Ling held the soft little hand in hers and looked up at him seriously.

"Ah Xu, do you want to be the emperor?"

Children who grew up in the palace are always more mature. Wen Xu didn't expect Wen Ling to ask this suddenly, and quickly reached out to cover Wen Ling's mouth.

"Sister, Father will be unhappy."

The young boy looked around seriously, frowned, and looked at Wen Ling with disapproval.

Wen Ling felt warm in her heart, knowing that he was worried about her. "Ah Xu, just answer, whether you want to or not."

The original owner's wish was that Wen Xu would be the one to sit in that position in the end, but he should also ask Wen Xu whether he is willing to do so.

"think."

He had almost no hesitation, and he was doing his homework. His young age didn't mean he knew nothing. He actually knew how his mother died. She was thinking about the rest of his and his sister's lives.

Besides, his elder sister is pretty and should always be so beautiful. Only by sitting in that position can he protect his elder sister and give her the best jewelry and clothes.

The boy's brows were firm, and Wen Ling's brows softened.

"Okay, sister got it."

In the story, there is very little mention of Wen Xu, except for a mention at the end that he died in a palace coup.

In fact, Wen Xu is much smarter than Wen Ling, but after all, he is still young and a fledgling that needs protection. How can he fight with a fully-fledged eagle?

After leaving the palace, Wen Ling did not return to the Duke's Mansion, but took Yuebai and Yuexin for a stroll on the streets of Kyoto.

What she lacks now is manpower. In the story, after the Duke of Zhenguo was confiscated and his family was exterminated, the palace once suffered the most severe assassination attempt, which was led by the old members of the Gu family.

The Gu family was once at its peak. The second prince Wen Ze once wanted to recruit the Gu family, but the old general of the Gu family was tough and refused to give in. In the end, Wen Ze and the deputy general beside the old general jointly framed the family for having dealings with the enemy country, and finally their property was confiscated and the family was exterminated.

No one expected that the Gu family still had a daughter, Gu Muqing, who was now hiding in the streets of Beijing, waiting for a chance to take revenge, but this opportunity never came. No one would overturn the verdict for the Gu family. In the end, Gu Muqing and the old members of the Gu family probably made up their minds to fight to the death, but in the end it was like an egg hitting a rock.

Wen Ling narrowed her eyes. What the Gu family had was exactly what she lacked now.

"Doctor, please save my husband. I'll pay you back the money for the medical treatment later. Double it, please."

In the alley at the corner of the street, a woman in coarse clothes was tugging at a doctor's sleeve, her eyes full of pleading, looking extremely pitiful.

The doctor was unmoved and waved her hand away.

"You said the same thing last time. I advise you to stay with him until the end. If this disease is delayed for this long, the amount of money it will cost to treat it is beyond your imagination."

It's not that he is unwilling to lend her one or two taels of silver, but this is not the first time he has given her money on credit. Life is not easy for anyone these days, and it seems that the person in front of him is not someone who can pay back the money.

The woman was extremely strong and she grabbed the doctor's sleeve as if she was grabbing at the last straw.

"Girl, if you keep doing this I'm going to report you to the police."

Taking advantage of the girl's stunned moment, the doctor waved his sleeves fiercely and left quickly.

The woman stood there in a daze, and suddenly she seemed to have lost her support and knelt down on the ground and started crying.

"Wenwen, this is Gu Muqing."

Wen Ling looked up in surprise. She had never seen the daughter of the Gu family, but she didn't expect that Gu Muqing would get married later.

Thinking of this, Wen Ling stepped forward. Since he was so lucky to have run into him, he naturally had to seize the opportunity.

"Girl, wipe it off. I'll help you."

Gu Muqing looked up in surprise and saw a beautiful and bright woman in front of him. Her luxurious dress showed that she was not from an ordinary family.

The experience of wandering outside in these years made Gu Muqing wary. The noble ladies from wealthy families prided themselves on their nobility and never looked down on people like them who were living on the streets.

Occasionally, when I chat with them, I always have my own plans.

But Gu Muqing couldn't care less at this moment. No matter why the person in front of her suddenly showed kindness, it was not as important as her husband's life.

Gu Muqing felt a pang of sadness in his heart when he took the exquisite and soft handkerchief.

She was once a favored child of heaven, and even she probably couldn't own many handkerchiefs like this. The person in front of her must be of extremely noble status.

Wen Ling took Gu Muqing on a carriage to her residence to pick up her husband.

Wen Ling asked Yue Xin to find a servant to carry Gu Muqing's husband onto the carriage and go to the courtyard that Wen Ling had prepared outside.

Yuebai was already waiting there with a doctor.

Gu Muqing followed the doctor into the house, while Wen Ling sat in the yard drinking tea.

After waiting for quite a while, sending the doctor away and settling her husband down, Gu Muqing finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked out.

"sit."

Wen Ling put down the cup and said.

Her husband had already taken the medicine and gone to sleep, and Gu Muqing no longer had the worried look she had at the beginning.

Sitting down at the spot Wen Ling pointed at, Gu Muqing smiled and said, "Thank you, benefactor."

"General Gu's granddaughter has met someone she should help."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Muqing was stunned. He looked at Wen Ling in surprise, his heart hanging in his throat.

"Don't worry, I'm the only one who knows your identity."

Gu Muqing lowered his eyes, tightened his clenched hands unconsciously, and forced himself to calm down and look at Wen Ling.
