Moon frost snow

Gu Wenzhi held He Yue's hand tightly, fearing that she would fall into deep thought again if he let go.

They went from one store to another. Every time they arrived at a store, Gu Wenzhi would patiently select various new styles and brightly colored clothes for He Yue and carefully ask for her opinion.

He Yue was gradually attracted by the dazzling array of goods in front of her and temporarily forgot the worries that had been lingering in her mind.

The next morning, the sun shone through the thin clouds and fell on the earth.

The two of them greeted the morning light and once again set out on their journey towards the Northern Han Kingdom. As they gradually moved deeper into the northern region, the weather became increasingly cold.

The biting cold wind cut across their cheeks like a sharp blade, bringing a hint of chill, but this did not affect their mood.

Along the way, they stopped and walked, enjoying the fun of the journey. Sometimes they stopped to admire the wild flowers blooming on the roadside, the colorful flowers swaying in the cold wind, like tenacious dancers.

Sometimes I would chase the birds flying through the woods and listen to their clear and melodious singing.

Occasionally, when I come across a crystal clear stream, I squat down, reach out to touch the icy cold water, and feel the magic and beauty of nature.

Although the journey was long and cold, with each other by our side, the journey was filled with laughter and warm memories.

Along the way, they enjoyed the mountains and rivers and appreciated the beauty and magic of nature.

Their cheerful footprints and hearty laughter were left among the green mountains and clear waters.

As time went by, the relationship between the two gradually became familiar and intimate.

However, despite getting along very well, He Yue always regarded Gu Wenzhi as just a good friend in her heart.

She admired his wit, intelligence, and kindness, but her feelings were limited to friendship.

As for love, He Yue seems not ready to welcome its arrival.

Perhaps her past experiences made her more cautious about relationships, or perhaps she has not yet truly met the person who can make her heart beat fast.

No matter what, at the moment she just wants to enjoy the happiness and warmth brought by this pure friendship.

In fact, He Yue had long been keenly aware of Gu Wenzhi's special feelings towards her, which were different from those towards others.

Whenever Gu Wenzhi looked at her, his eyes were always filled with an indescribable tenderness and concern.

However, even though it was so obvious, as long as Gu Wenzhi didn't express his feelings to her in person, He Yue always felt embarrassed to bring up the matter.

More than ten days later, the two finally arrived at the capital of Beihan Kingdom, and Gu Wenzhi took He Yue to a private residence under his name.

He Yue looked around the exquisite house, sighing inwardly. Gu Wenzhi smiled and said, "This will be your home from now on. You can decorate it however you like."

He Yue looked at him gratefully and said, "Thank you, Wenzhi. But I don't want to live here. I want to find a clinic..."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Gu Wenzhi's eyes, but he immediately regained his smile. "It's okay, as long as you like it. By the way, I have a clinic in the city, you can go there to help."

He Yue readily agreed, as she has always had a strong interest in curing diseases and saving lives.

The next day, He Yue came to the clinic that Gu Wenzhi mentioned. The clinic was bustling with people, and He Yue immediately got down to work.

She demonstrated superb medical skills and the patients praised her highly. Gu Wenzhi stood aside, watching the busy He Yue, his heart full of admiration and love.

He Yue didn't know that Gu Wenzhi bought this clinic overnight just to keep He Yue by his side.

Only after seeing He Yue busy in the clinic did Gu Wenzhi feel at ease to return to the palace to report.

The delegation returned to the palace a few days ago. When Gu Mingbai learned that Gu Wenzhi had left the delegation and was missing, he became angry and cursed.

Gu Wenbo hurriedly stepped forward, bowed, and said to the emperor earnestly, "Father, please calm your anger for a moment! I know very well that my fourth brother would never leave the mission without reason, especially on the way back."

"In my opinion, Fourth Brother must have encountered something unexpected, which is why he acted this way."

"Perhaps they were attacked by bandits along the way, or perhaps they got lost in the wilderness, or perhaps they were accidentally injured and couldn't return to the team in time... In short, the reasons must be quite complicated. I hope that your Majesty can understand everything and not jump to conclusions too quickly."

After saying that, Gu Wenbo raised his head slightly, his eyes full of worry and anxiety, and he was very concerned about his fourth brother who was in trouble.

Gu Mingbai frowned slightly and pondered for a moment. Then, the tense expression on his face gradually relaxed, and even his originally stiff and cold tone became much softer. "Hmm... Come to think of it, what you just said is not completely unreasonable. Well, in that case, let's wait for him to return before making a decision!"

After saying this, he sighed softly, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and compromise.

When Gu Wenzhi finally returned to Beihan with He Yue, the news spread quickly to Gu Wenjie's ears as if it had wings.

He heard that this time not only Gu Wenzhi himself returned, but also a beautiful girl accompanied him.

What is even more surprising is that, judging from the descriptions of others, the relationship between them seems to be unusual and is definitely not as simple as ordinary friends.

This made Gu Wenjie curious. What kind of deep connection did this girl have with Gu Wenzhi?

Could it be that she would become a part of the Gu family's future? All kinds of speculations kept emerging in Gu Wenjie's mind, and he decided to find out for himself.

The moment Gu Wenzhi stepped into the palace, Gu Wenjie led his loyal guard Avi and galloped all the way here, and finally stopped in front of the clinic where He Yue was practicing.

Although the clinic was not big, it was clean and tidy. There was a striking sign hanging at the door with the three big characters "Jishitang" written in a flamboyant style.

At this moment, the sunlight was shining on the sign, making the words appear even more shining.

Gu Wenjie stood there, looking eagerly at the door of the clinic, as if he couldn't wait to see the people inside.

The guard Avi standing by also had a serious expression on his face. He was observing the movements around him vigilantly, ready to deal with any emergency that might arise at any time.

The sun shone on the quaint streets, and Gu Wenjie walked slowly and steadily into the slightly old clinic.

The clinic seemed a little deserted at this time. There were no bustling crowds as usual, only a few people.

When Gu Wenjie glanced around, the first person he saw was He Yue sitting behind the examination table.

She was wearing a light blue dress, with a graceful figure, and was concentrating on arranging the medicinal herbs on the table.
